"Are you hungry? Can I give you some noodles? Or do you want to eat something else?"
Lan Zheng now wanted to find an excuse to avoid it so he could take out the painting hidden in his sleeve and hide it in another place.
But he can't let the other party find out that he has her painting.
"No, I'm not hungry tonight."
Susu looked at Lan Zheng and asked him: "What are you hiding behind you?"
He wasn't holding his hands behind his back just now, but now that he was holding his hands behind his back, she had to wonder what he was hiding behind his back.
Look at the coffee table again, it's clean.
When she came over, she clearly saw a piece of paper on the coffee table, but he suddenly rushed over and threw himself on the coffee table, leaving her no chance to see clearly what was on the paper.
"No. I'm going to get you a cup of warm water. The night in Wangcheng is colder than the day. A cup of hot water can warm you up."
Lan Zheng walked away as if nothing had happened and poured water for Susu.
Su Su saw that his hands were indeed empty and he was not holding anything. He looked at the coffee table suspiciously and then looked at the ground. She did not see the piece of paper. The piece of paper disappeared out of thin air?
Lan Zheng took the opportunity of pouring water to hide the crumpled painting.
When he returned to Su Su, he was more natural and had no feeling of guilt.
"Drink a glass of water."
Lan Zheng put a glass of warm water in front of Su Su, then turned around to get the various snacks that women love to eat.
It only took a few minutes to fill up the coffee table. Su Su looked at the snacks on the table and said with a smile: "It's been a while, Master Lan, there are so many snacks here, and they are all girls.
Love food.”
Lan Zheng sat down opposite her, stared at her silver mask, and said, "My sister likes snacks very much. She said that most girls like to eat these snacks, so I prepared some."
"We can't have nothing to entertain you every time we come over."
Lan Zheng found a good excuse to prepare snacks for himself, which was the way of hospitality.
Su Su picked up the glass of water. The water was just right, so she took a few sips and felt warmer inside.
Autumn in Wangcheng is just like winter in City A, especially when it gets colder at night.
Fortunately, she came here this time and the equipment she brought included thick clothes, otherwise her speed would have been affected by the cold when she fought with Lan Zheng's bodyguards outside just now.
"Last time, I'm sorry."
Lan Zheng apologized to Su Su for what happened last time, "My sister is back and lives next door to me. I forgot to tell you."
Susu remembered the last crisis and coughed twice. She drank another sip of water to ease her coughing and said, "It's a good thing that your sister is back. How do you arrange for your sister to live in the guest room?"
"
Lan Zheng explained: "The two guest rooms have been opened and renovated to make the space larger."
Su Su hummed, "I see. Speaking of which, your sister is quite cunning."
After Lan Zheng smiled, he still looked at Su Su with burning eyes and asked tentatively: "Since my sister has seen my benefactor's true face, can you take off the mask tonight and let me see my benefactor's face?"
"In case someone impersonates you in the future, I can identify them."
"Someone is pretending to be me. Young Master Lan can recognize it just by listening to his voice. There is no need for me to take off my mask. My sister has already seen my true face. It is true that my appearance under the mask is too ugly. At that time, I thought my sister was too ugly."
I was so petrified that I really didn’t dare to take it off, which also scared Young Master Lan.”
"Young Master Lan is the proud son of heaven. The worst woman I have ever seen is also a beautiful woman. Suddenly seeing my ugliness will frighten Young Master Lan to nausea and vomiting, and even give me nightmares at night. Young Master Lan knows why I am
Do you want to wear a mask? I just don’t want to scare people to death.”
"An ugly person like me can scare children into tears even if they go out at night without makeup."
Su Su tried her best to ruin her own appearance.
After Lan Zheng was silent, he said, "I'm not a superficial person, and I won't judge people by their appearance."
"I know that Young Master Lan is a true man and has a noble character, but this is my last dignity. I hope Young Master Lan will not force me."
Su Su has said this, what else can Lan Zheng say?
"You, have something to eat."
"good."
Susu was not polite to him and tasted several kinds of snacks.
She often sees Mu Qing and Yang Xi eating these snacks. It has to be said that Mu Qing and Yang Xi have the same taste. They both like to eat, can eat, and like to eat similar things.
No wonder they are so good that they can wear the same pair of pants.
Lan Zheng felt a little happy when he saw her eating with gusto.
It seemed like watching her eat was a very happy thing, mainly because the snacks she ate were all prepared by him for her.
"Young Master Lan, I'm coming here tonight mainly to report to you the progress of the investigation you entrusted me with."
After Su Su ate some snacks, drank a few more water, and then stopped.
I had a full dinner and drank enough, and I didn’t exercise, so I didn’t consume much. Now I’m not hungry, so I can’t eat that much.
Lan Zheng hummed warmly and said, "Don't worry, investigate slowly. It's an old case. Even the police can't investigate it clearly in a short time. I have my own connections and power after I become an adult."
, we started investigating, and six years passed, and we didn’t get much evidence.”
He still can't serve everyone he wants to serve.
Su Su nodded, "It seems that Young Master Lan is very aware of how difficult the task you entrusted us to do is. Young Master Lan, you see that you are much more powerful than our firm. After six years of investigation, you have mastered
The evidence is not enough to catch all those people in one fell swoop. Our temple is small and there are few people, so it will be even more difficult."
"I haven't spent a penny of the deposit you gave us. I can cancel the employment relationship at any time. Can you... I really have no way to help you. But if I am somewhat sure that I can help you, I
I will definitely help, the deposit given by Young Master Lan is too tempting."
"I do this business not only because I like it, but also to make money. There is no reason to let the money go unearned. It is really Young Master Lan's money, and I really can't earn it."
"I have been groping for a while and found that I have no way to start. Master Lan, let me return the deposit to you. If you cancel the order like last time, we will definitely be able to help you if you can find us in the future. You
Just say it, I’ll help you for free.”
Susu felt embarrassed after asking him to cancel the order twice.
Thinking that she could help Lan Zheng in the future, she helped him for free.
But there was really nothing she could do to help him investigate twenty years of old events.
When Mu Qing was taken away, there were too many people who reached out, and those people wiped away the traces in time. Even if there was suspicion, there was no evidence to prove who did it.
This is a very depressing thing.
Lan Zheng looked at her quietly.
Susu looked at him.
For a long time, Lan Zheng leaned back on the chair and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrests of the chair. Su Su watched him tapping and simply picked up the snacks and started eating again.
