Jiangnan Road, Polling Bureau.

Li Zhendong yawned and got up on the chaotic iron frame bed.

He subconsciously picked up his phone and took a look and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Call records show he had more than a dozen missed calls.

All calls were made by Gao Yubao without exception.

Li Zhendong quickly called back.

The phone only rang for a second before Gao Yubao answered it.

Immediately Gao Yubao's roar came from the microphone.

"Li Zhendong, where did you die? Did you go to your mother's funeral? I think you don't want to do this anymore, right? If you don't want to make money, just say so, so as not to waste my time..."

Li Zhendong covered the phone and frowned, then spoke after a while.

"Brother Bao, I'm really sorry. My cousin had a car accident yesterday. I was busy and didn't notice your call. I'm sorry."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, what about the things I asked you to do? Have the cameras been installed?" Gao Yubao asked impatiently.

"installed."

"Where's that thing? Where's the video you took? Do you know that something happened to Liu Jie last night?"

Did something happen to Liu Jiejie? Li Zhendong's mind went blank. He drank too much last night and slept until now. As for the surveillance matter, he had long forgotten about it.

"I know, how could I not know? Is there any problem?"

"You know what, all your cameras are out of order before midnight."

"Something happened? What happened?"

"The Internet is disconnected! No one can connect to it."

Gao Yubao was completely irritated and slapped the table and roared loudly. Li Zhendong could feel the other party's anger through the microphone.

"Now I'll give you two choices, either fix it for me within ten minutes, or get out of here, as far away as you can."

"Brother Bao, I..."

Gao Yubao hung up the phone without waiting for Li Zhendong to explain, not giving Li Zhendong a chance to explain at all.

"When it's called, you know it's called chicken feathers."

Li Zhendong cursed and threw the phone aside, scratching his hair speechlessly.

This is not the first time Gao Yubao has scolded him.

Although Gao Yubao was very generous with his actions, he had a very bad temper and a bad mouth. He would often curse and didn't treat him as a human being.

Thinking about Li Zhendong, he became agitated and kicked the trash can away with his legs.

Li Zhendong stood up, took his bag, and was about to go out. He only took two steps and stopped.

He suddenly thought of the bones in Wu Xiaoxia's house.

Wu Xiaomei has a simple character, so it should not be her masterpiece. It is most likely left by Wu Xiaoxia.

I can definitely use this matter to capture Wu Xiaomei.

When the time comes, you can make money standing up without having to do anything.

Li Zhendong snapped his fingers and smiled proudly.

Seconds, too many seconds.

The sun sets in the west.

After a busy day, Jiang Xiaoyu packed up his things and walked out of the office building. As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the front desk.

"Xiaoyu, someone is looking for you."

"Who is looking for me?"

"I don't know him, but he is a handsome guy. He has been waiting for you outside the company gate."

Big handsome guy?

Jiang Xiaoyu snorted disdainfully and walked out of the company. She had never seen any handsome guy since she started working, but those guys were either flashy or slutty, and everyone could catch her eye.

People have come to send flowers from time to time before, but this time I don’t know which young master it is.

After just a few steps, Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned, because the person waiting for her was none other than Zhu Chen, whom she had always secretly loved.

"Is this true? I'm not dreaming, am I?" Jiang Xiaoyu's heart was so happy that she even thought she was seeing things wrong. She blinked to make sure she was not wrong.

Zhu Chen really came to pick her up.

"Hi, it's time to get off work." Zhu Chen waved and walked over with a smile.

"Don't tell me that you came here specifically to wait for me." Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and smiled happily with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Yes, are you free? Can I ask you to have dinner with me?"

Have a meal?

Zhu Chen came up with a big move, which made Jiang Xiaoyu feel a little unreal.

"Why did you ask me to dinner?"

"Of course it's to thank you for helping me collect tickets. Liu Jie told me everything, and it's for you." Zhu Chen handed over a pot of succulents.

Jiang Xiaoyu was a little surprised when he saw Duo Rou. This guy was really special. Everyone else gave him flowers, but he gave him Duo Su.

"Take it. In fact, I also wanted to send flowers, but Wu Xiaomei was not at home, so Liu Jie brought me a pot of succulents, saying that flowers will wither in one day, but succulents can last for many years."

"Really? As expected, you work in a flower shop. Your insights are very unique, so I'll accept it. Thank you."

"Yes, let's get in the car."

Zhu Chen took the initiative to open the rear door.

Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and glanced at Zhu Chen with some confusion.

Logically speaking, there were only two of them here, and Zhu Chen took the initiative to invite her, so should she be invited to sit in the passenger seat?

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Jiang Xiaoyu still sat in without thinking too much.

The car started slowly and drove into the distance facing the sunset.

Zhu Chen changed his cold demeanor before and became extremely enthusiastic. Jiang Xiaoyu found that Zhu Chen not only loved to laugh, but also spoke very humorously, as if he was a different person.

Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes fell on Zhu Chen's brocade bag again, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is in your brocade bag? Is it important?"

"It's my mother's hair."

"Auntie's hair?"

Jiang Xiaoyu was greatly surprised. The last time she touched it, she felt that there was something silk inside, but she didn't expect it to be hair.

"Yes, it's hair. When I was a child, I was very timid. I could only fall asleep holding my mother in my arms. The most profound smell in my memory is the smell of my mother's hair. It can be said that this smell has been with me until now.

The first time I encounter something, I can stand up again just by smelling it. Are you wondering why I didn’t let you sit in the passenger seat?”

"Why? Don't tell me that's my aunt's special seat?"

"You guessed it right, my mother is a very sensitive person and has extremely strict standards for the distance between seats. After someone else is sitting, she has to adjust for a long time before she can sit down."

"Oh, that's it. I can't tell you are so attentive and filial. This is really rare."

"Of course, my mother gave me life and raised me. I should be filial. What about your mother? Why have I never met your family?"

"Dead. My mother died more than ten years ago. As for my father, he is still in prison."

Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his head as he spoke.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter. Uncle, what mistake did he make?"

"Kill, kill my mother."

The corners of Zhu Chen's mouth twitched, and he raised his head and secretly glanced at the rearview mirror. Jiang Xiaoyu happened to be staring at the rearview mirror as well.

Their eyes met, and then both of them looked away.

Jiang Xiaoyu has never felt the warmth of home. In her memory, home is scary, bloody, and a terrible place full of violence.

My father beat my mother every day, even the siblings.

Her childhood was spent in fear.

She had never mentioned this kind of thing to anyone before, and today she didn't know if she was infected by Zhu Chen, but she poured out everything in one breath.

"It doesn't matter, it will get better in the future. Just like me, my parents divorced when I was very young. My childhood was as difficult as yours, but everything is different now. We have grown up. In the past,

Let the matter pass."

"You're right, we should look forward!"

Happy smiles appeared on both people's faces.

The dinner was very sumptuous. Jiang Xiaoyu was surprised to find that Zhu Chen ordered almost everything she liked. When she asked, she found out that Zhu Chen had followed her social account and knew her eating habits well.
