11. The storm rises
After having some food in the restaurant casually, Ji Xu got up and left.
Even though it was getting late, he didn't mean to stay in this hotel. It was not that he didn't have enough money, but that he subconsciously didn't want to meet Dong Huangyi, which was embarrassing.
I can't tell why, maybe this subconscious change occurred in my heart after the other party told me about the identity of Mr. Da and Mi Jiajia.
The idea of avoiding it.
But things are often coincidental. When he walked out of the restaurant, he met Dong Huangyi who was walking inward.
"Have you eaten?" Donghuang chuckled and asked casually.
"Well, you come here to eat too." Ji Xu looked at her and replied casually.
"Um."
"Then you eat, I have something to do, let's go first." As he said that, Ji Xu was about to bypass her and leave.
"Wait a minute." Donghuang called him and asked, "Aren't you staying here?"
Ji Xu smiled, "No, I'll go to the branch of the Executive Board here."
Donghuang nodded and watched him leave.
After a long time, she stood there and dialed a phone number.
"How is it?" The sound from inside was a little low, as if he was in a sealed place of space. The sound was somewhat dull after it was transmitted.
"He seemed to be avoiding me intentionally."
"You shouldn't tell him Dashiming and Yili's identity, so he will definitely doubt it in his heart."
"But." Donghuang pursed his lips, "I couldn't refuse when he asked me."
The voice inside was silent for a while, and then said, "Don't forget your 'Tao'. You need to grasp the truth and the false."
"I can." Donghuang shook his eyes and replied softly.
"Also, you should know which is more important between your enlightenment and that thing. If the descendants of the 'shackle' have an impact on us, you should know what to do."
"I see."
When Donghuang looked at the hanging-up phone, a sudden pain flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The coldness, like the snow that has not melted for years, emerged deep in the eyes again.
She turned around and went upstairs, leaving only a plausible sigh.
...
Ji Xu walked out of the hotel without taking a ride, but walked aimlessly under the night with his backpack on his backpack.
From the conversation just now, he could clearly feel the pressure from Dong Huangyi or her.
He didn't think the encounter just happened just a coincidence, and he knew that he had not set up a room in the hotel, so he obviously investigated it at the front desk.
Although I don’t know why I spent this effort, since it’s related to me, I won’t avoid it if I can’t afford to offend me for the time being.
Ji Xu sighed, reached out and clenched his fists in front of him. The street lights were bright, cars came and went, and the bustling night life in the Magic City had arrived.
While he was thinking about it, the cell phone in his pocket vibrated.
Seeing that it was Ji Lian's phone call, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, guessing that maybe it was asking about that netizen.
Just as he was about to scold him, Ji Lian could lower his voice came over.
"You big-eyed friend, have you contacted you these two days?"
"Big-eyed friend?" Ji Xu rolled his eyes when he heard this, "You mean Cheng Yuan, no, what's wrong?"
"He and Ning Duo are in the coffee shop."
"I'm going, you're not giving up." Ji Xu was speechless, "You will follow me when I'm on a date. Do you want to be so vulgar?"
"No, where do you want to go?" Ji Lian was speechless first and then said seriously: "I found something wrong with your friend."
"Tell me, what's wrong?" Ji Xu asked as he walked.
"I suspect he was taken over by a ghost."
“…”
Ji Xu took out his ears, "Are you idle?"
"Damn, I'll send you the photos, you can see them yourself!"
Ji Lian was speechless, and his voice subconsciously raised. When he saw many people in the store looking here, he quickly pressed the brim of his hat and sat down aside.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yuan asked on the table on the other side.
"It's nothing, it just sounds familiar." Ning Duo glanced at Ji Lian, then shook his head, "Maybe it's an illusion."
She smiled and looked at Cheng Yuan sitting opposite her, with light in her eyes.
Cheng Yuan also smiled, and while lowering his head to drink coffee, he glanced at Ji Lian's direction quietly.
"Does it sound familiar?"
...
Ji Xu leaned against the street light, his fingertips streaked by the photos coming from him, and his eyes fell on the right smile that Ji Lian took.
"How is it, isn't it a bit weird?"
On WeChat, Ji Lian sent a message at a loss, and followed by a panda-headed expression of "Praise Me".
"You are not a fool either." Ji Xu said with a smile, of course he didn't send it.
After all, the manly dignity of a cheap cousin still needs to be considered.
"I'll call him and ask him, you should be there?" Ji Xu sent him.
“oj8k.”
Seeing the news about Ji Lian’s reply, Ji Xu couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
After finding Cheng Yuan’s mobile phone number, Ji Xu dialed it directly.
On the other side, Cheng Yuan, who was talking and laughing with Ning Duo, frowned, and then said apologetically: "I'll go to the toilet first."
"Okay." Ning Duo smiled, "We'll leave when you come back."
"Yeah." Cheng Yuan nodded, got up and walked towards the toilet.
Ji Lian looked at him secretly, and when he saw him get up, he pressed the brim of his hat again, coughed lowly, followed with his hands down with his head down.
The corridor of the toilet was a bit narrow, and Ji Lian pressed the brim of the hat.
As soon as I walked by the corner, I saw a huge fist coming towards me.
...
"What's the matter with me?"
Just when Ji Xu was a little impatient, Cheng Yuan finally answered the phone.
The voice was a little depressed and inactive, just like I didn't sleep well for several days and then played games all night and was still abused all night.
"Where are you?" Ji Xu asked.
"Where are you outside, why are you going to make a fuss?"
"Tell me a location and see if I'm close." Ji Xu raised his foot from time to time and stepped on the shadow under the street lights and said casually.
"Then you must be far away." Cheng Yuan paused and said, "A case just broke out in Qianyang District, and he is walking back."
"Really?" Ji Xu narrowed his eyes.
"Let me hear the bustling streets of the capital." Cheng Yuan said, and then the sound of the horns of the car came from the receiver. The noise of the crowd was all in my ears, and it was extremely clear.
"I believe it this time, sir." Cheng Yuan teased and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is something wrong with you?"
"Ning Duo is with you." Ji Xu said.
"Stop talking nonsense, we're fine long ago." Cheng Yuan said: "She has a new boyfriend."
Ji Xu was stunned and asked in a deep voice: "Are you saying true?"
"Have you told you and me lies, what's wrong?" Cheng Yuan heard what was wrong with him and asked quickly.
"My cousin, I've photographed you and Ning Duo drinking coffee together." Ji Xu said, "I'll send you the photo."
Ji Xu hung up the phone and sent Cheng Yuan a photo. At the end, he added, "Don't act rashly, I'll ask someone to go over and take a look."
He looked at the shadow under his feet, and thoughts flashed in his eyes, thinking about who might have set the plan.
If what Cheng Yuan said is true, it would be not difficult to guess the goal of the person hiding behind the scenes.
It can only be his cheap cousin, Ji Lian.
