Xu Xuanming blushed at the warm sarcasm. He seemed a little angry and unhappy, but he didn't know how to refute it! He could only clenched his fists and pursed his lips without saying a word.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was getting more and more awkward, luckily Ye Qingling opened her mouth to change the topic in time and said: "Brother, really, why are you talking about this when you are having a good meal! Besides, this is dad's hobby, why do you care so much..."
Ye Qingyou shrugged with an indifferent expression and said: "Okay, let me meddle in other people's business. Anyway, this publisher is a small business, so you can just pay it, and you can't pay too much. Our Ye family is.
If you don’t miss this little money, just treat it as charity.”
Ye Qingling rolled her eyes at him, then smiled and said to Xu Xuanming: "Brother Xu, don't pay attention to my brother. In fact, I like to read your books. My dad also likes them very much. I believe that one day there will always be gold."
Glowing!"
Xu Xuanming nodded repeatedly with a look of emotion, and then Ye Qingling said: "But, then again, don't be so stubborn. In fact, what Sister Wenxin and Uncle Wu said makes sense. You should add a little bit of that to your reasoning.
What does it matter? It’s the 21st century now, and readers all like that tone..."
Xu Xuanming drooped his head, hesitated for a long time and said: "Okay, I will revise the new book..."
Bao You was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Yes, Miss Qingling's words are still effective. You didn't listen at all when I told you. You little Xu, you are too stubborn despite your young age. Haha, give me the manuscript again after you have finished revising it."
Let me take a good look..."
Lin Wenzhou watched the scene in front of him silently, frowning slightly. He suddenly discovered a small detail. It seemed that the relationship between the four people was not as simple as it seemed...
After the meal, a few people were chatting in the living room. Fatty suddenly saw a flag of the Four Kingdoms War and looked overjoyed. Ye Qingyou happened to be passing by. He took a look and said: "Oh. You can do this too? How about that?"
Come to compete and learn from each other? Who else will do it? I am worried that I can’t find an opponent. Not many people can do this these days!”
The fat man immediately said that my girlfriend and Lin Wenzhou would do the same. Ye Qingyou looked around again, but Xu Xuanming raised his hand timidly...
Since Lin Wenzhou said that he had the arduous task of finding a dog, in the end it was Fatty and Shen Yanting who paired up as a couple to face off against the combination of Ye Qingyou and Xu Xuanming.
It is said that one of them is a high-achieving Princeton student and the other is a writer of detective mystery novels. Their IQ combination is higher than that of the two rough guys, Fatty and Overlord Flower. However, Lin Wenzhou has quite confidence in the two of them. Because the main focus of the Four Kingdoms War is
Emotional intelligence and deception. Although the two guys should have no problem with their IQ, their emotional intelligence is flawed. One is arrogant and dandy, while the other is stubborn and refuses to change. He has been struggling to write a book until now...
Of course, they needed a referee to play chess, and in the end Bao You volunteered to sit next to them.
Lin Wenzhou did not forget his main responsibility here. He called Ye Qingling and asked her to take him around to look for any clues about Junzai.
An Zixin was just doing nothing. Naturally, she followed her boyfriend closely. Besides, when she left, she was followed by a champagne-colored and white puppy. It was said that this dog did not need a rein and walked very consciously.
He followed Zi Xin closely with his calves and would not run around at all, which once again subverted Lin Wenzhou's common sense.
In addition, Chen Jiayu was naturally right behind Ye Qingling. The final combination to find Junzai was four people and one dog. As for the remaining two people, Wenxin and the novel critic Wu Ka sat at the bar, drinking casually.
They were pre-mixing drinks and seemed to be discussing some work, but Lin Wenzhou glanced at their shadows from a distance, and he suddenly found that Wu Ka's shadow was emotionally unstable, while Wen Xin was somewhat impatient.
It’s unscientific to say that this is probably because the author is excited and nervous, while the critic is sitting on the Diaoyutai...
But he thought about it. Don't cause trouble that has nothing to do with him.
Ye Qingling first took the dog-hunting team to the garden outside the house and took them around. She mentioned by the way that the barbed wire fence around the villa was indeed electrified. Everyone should be careful not to accidentally touch it.
I met him. I especially reminded An Zixin to watch his puppy.
The garden in front of the villa has obviously been carefully constructed. According to Ye Qingling, the gardener comes to maintain it once a week. However, except for the garden in front of the villa, the rest of the place is a natural hillside without any trace of artificial carving. Not only does it have no normal roads.
The slope is very steep, so be careful when walking along it.
The team carefully walked around the villa in the mountains and fields, and the result was no surprise. Naturally, the dog was neither alive nor dead. Lin Wenzhou had expected this. I guess Miss Ye's family must have searched for the dog.
He mobilized his subordinates to sweep around the entire villa. If it was so easy to find, he would need to take action.
Lin Wenzhou was very interested in the barbed wire fence. He asked Ye Qingling: "Is the electricity here 24/7?"
Ye Qingling nodded seriously and said: "Yes, my dad pays great attention to safety. Because my brother was kidnapped and extorted when he was a child, he now pays special attention to the security of all residential places."
Lin Wenzhou took a look and saw that the barbed wire fence was three meters high. Not to mention a dog, even a high jump champion could not get over it. He asked again: "Are there any gaps in this barbed wire fence?"
Ye Qingling shook his head repeatedly and said: "How is it possible? There is only a gap at the winding mountain road at the entrance, but there are people on duty there 24 hours a day, and unless someone comes in, it is usually closed. There is no gap for Junzi to run out!"
Lin Wenzhou nodded, and then took them to circle carefully around the barbed wire fence. However, he did not forget to remind An Zixin to call "cow" quickly, just in case it accidentally touched the power grid and died...
Ye Qingling smiled and thoughtfully called the security guards and asked them to temporarily cut off the power. This made An Zixin and Lin Wenzhou feel relieved.
Lin Wenzhou explained to Ye Qingling that his main purpose of circling the barbed wire was to see if there was a protruding stone or a crooked tree nearby that could be used as a stepping stone, and then he could jump out of the barbed wire.
.
However, after looking around, he was a little disappointed and found that Ye Qingling and her father really paid special attention to security work. He did not miss this small detail. It was obvious that the rocks and trees near the barbed wire fence had been tidied up, and Lin Wenzhou was nowhere to be found.
imaginary possibilities.
The dog-finding team returned to the door of the villa a little disappointed. Lin Wenzhou thought for a long time and asked: "Qing Ling, is there a basement here?"
Ye Qingling smiled and said: "Of course there is, but of course we have looked for it two or three times to use it as a wine cellar and storage room... But okay, I will show you again..."
Ye Qingling brought a few people to the villa. The entrance to the basement was next to the kitchen. After four people and one dog walked down a section, they found that the basement was divided into two parts. Open the door on the left and enter a wine cellar with a lot of red wine hidden in it. Ye Qingling
According to the introduction, her father’s wine collection is mainly concentrated in their residence in the city. This place is only used for occasional vacations, so the wine collection is not particularly large, and the quality is not very high...
However, there was not much in Ye Qingling's mouth, but it was enough to amaze the other three. There were a total of six rows of shelves in the wine cellar, with a variety of red wines on them. Lin Wenzhou didn't know much about wine, but An Zixin did...
She held the cow and looked through it casually, and couldn't help but say: "These wines are not simple, they are all classics. I think some bottles are worth tens of thousands, and the cheapest ones cost several thousand yuan..."
"
While An Zixin was lamenting about the red wine, Lin Wenzhou had already dragged Chen Jiayu around the wine cellar, but found nothing.
After leaving the wine cellar, Ye Qingling opened another door in the basement. It was very cold inside. She introduced: "This is a cold storage room with various ingredients, which is enough for about 20 of us including the staff.
It’s been two months…”
Lin Wenzhou nodded. He endured the cold and walked around in the cold storage. He even took a closer look at the stored meat. Unfortunately, none of it was dog meat... so he still found nothing, no clues about 'Junzi'...
After leaving the basement, Ye Qingling spread her hands and said, "As for the bedrooms on the second and third floors, we have checked several times, but we really can't find Junzai..."
Lin Wenzhou frowned and thought for a while. He originally thought it would be best to go and have a look in the bedroom, but he didn't really think that the dog would hide in the bedroom. The main thing was that he didn't forget his other mission, to find the server...
However, he thought it would not be appropriate to check someone else's bedroom. Finally, he said forget it. Since the bedroom had been checked, it was unlikely that the puppy was hiding in it.
Ye Qingling smiled bitterly and said: "Classmate Wenzhou, forget it if you can't find it. Thank you for your hard work..."
Lin Wenzhou shook his head and said: "No, Qing Ling, I already have some ideas... but they are not mature yet. Give me some time to think about it..."
Ye Qingling said with a surprised look: "Really?!"
Chen Jiayu also looked at someone in surprise. He had participated in the whole process of searching for the dog just now. He had found everything that needed to be found, and considered all possibilities. There was no trace of any progress at all...
Lin Wenzhou said seriously: "Qing Ling, it's just a dog anyway. It can't disappear out of thin air for no reason. There must be a reason. Don't worry, I think I should be able to find it... But you must also be mentally prepared. If my guess is good,
, Junzai should be in a bad situation..."
Ye Qingling looked a little sad and said: "I know this..."
While Ye Qingling wasn't paying attention, An Zixin secretly asked someone: "Are you pretending?"
Lin Wenzhou shook his head repeatedly and said seriously: "I really guessed where Junzai is..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your support is mine
