In the next few days, Zhuo Mingcheng would go to Ling Bar for a while after work, whether it was early or late, rain or shine. Unfortunately, he couldn't find Jenny. Without this key person, there was no way to find Xiao Zhuang.
He was not anxious. Instead, he became calmer and calmer. He hid his ultimate goal deeply and treated himself more and more like a customer. Being cautious by nature, he was now in a dilemma. He wanted to grasp Xiao Zhuang's movements as soon as possible, but he was not prepared to face a professional killer.
He simply emptied his mind and focused on escorting Annie home from work every day. This was the second step of preparation. He would use the least conspicuous method to obtain some information he needed.
Annie was gradually getting used to having a humorous man waiting at the corner of the bar after work. Even when it suddenly rained one day, she still saw a familiar figure at the familiar corner, waiting for her with an umbrella.
Every time Zhuo Mingcheng sent her downstairs, he would turn around and leave without hesitation. Annie had also hinted that she could invite him up for a cup of tea, but Zhuo Mingcheng had pretended not to understand. Annie rolled her eyes in her heart. Why was this usually humorous person so unromantic?
That day, because the bar owner had something to do, he got off work an hour and a half earlier than usual. When Annie came out, she didn't see Zhuo Mingcheng. She just thought that the time wasn't right and he didn't come.
"Annie, are you waiting for Li Sheng again?”A few of her good friends who had just gotten off work teased her.
"I didn't!" Annie pouted her lips in disdain and then walked away, leaving the girls dumbfounded.
Who knew that after they left, Annie would turn around and come back. After making sure that the bar was closed and no one she knew would pass by, she then waited for Zhuo Mingcheng at the usual place. She had already decided that when she saw Zhuo Mingcheng, she would definitely mock him. How could she chase after a girl without patience?
However, after waiting for two hours, Zhuo Mingcheng still did not appear. Annie rubbed her sore calf and left angrily.
What was Zhuo Mingcheng doing? He wasn't trying to keep them in suspense, but it was a sudden mission from the higher-ups, so he followed Li Ying for the entire night. Although plainclothes detectives could hold guns during off-duty hours, their phones had to be kept open 24(7 to ensure that they could contact people at any time. Once there was a mission, they could forget about sleeping. He was lucky enough to be able to send Annie home safely for almost a month.
The
next night, Zhuo Mingcheng dressed up meticulously and stood at the corner of Darling's Bar, smoking. When it was past one in the morning, the singing girls in the bar began to leave one after another. Annie had yet to come out.
Zhuo Mingcheng put out the cigarette butt and chewed two pieces of gum to get rid of the smoke in his mouth. He patiently waited.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted slightly because a girl was walking out of the bar. She was holding a stick in her hand and was slowly groping her way forward. Her eyes were invisible!
Zhuo Mingcheng chewed faster and faster, hoping to use this to eliminate the tension in his heart. He was about to chase after her when he suddenly woke up. Since Jenny had already appeared, would Xiao Zhuang be far away?
He couldn't be exposed! He quickly made a decision. Although he didn't know if Zhuang had discovered Jenny's condition and was moved by compassion, he couldn't take the risk!
At this moment, Zhuo Mingcheng had already raised one of his legs. His actions were very obvious. In the blink of an eye, his forehead was already covered in sweat.
Coincidentally, Annie, who was wearing a red dress, also walked out.
Zhuo Mingcheng's reaction was extremely fast. He took the opportunity to walk towards Jenny's direction.
"Jenny, are you okay? Do you want me to send you home?" Annie asked with concern.
"No need, I can go back by myself.”Jenny's soft and weak voice sounded. She was soft on the outside but tough on the inside, and she declined Annie's kindness.
"Annie." Zhuo Mingcheng smiled as he stepped forward to greet him.
Annie's expression changed when she saw him. She turned around and said,""It's better for me to give it to you so that you won't meet any 'shady' men on the way.”
In her tone, she emphasized that she was a "no three no four". It was self-evident who she was referring to.
Zhuo Mingcheng rubbed his nose awkwardly and apologized,""Anne, I'm sorry. Yesterday was
…" Excuse me, sir. I want to send my friend home.”
Zhuo Mingcheng laughed bitterly.
Jenny covered her mouth and snickered. Instead, she pushed Annie and said,"Don't throw a tantrum. Isn't Li Sheng here? Hurry up and find him. I don't want to be an eyesore among you.”
Zhuo Mingcheng glanced at Jenny without batting an eyelid. To be honest, her looks were average, and she wasn't as sexy as Annie. Beautiful. However, even though his eyes had suffered an unexpected disaster and could not see clearly, he could still maintain such an optimistic attitude. Perhaps this was what attracted Xiao Zhuang the most.
One was a killer who killed without batting an eye, and the other was a kind-hearted girl who was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. They were obviously a couple!
"Who's looking for her?" Annie grumbled, but her attitude had already softened.
Zhuo Mingcheng smiled and pulled Annie over.
"Hey, what are you doing! Let me go!"
When Jenny heard the voice, she looked around in confusion. Unfortunately, she couldn't see anything clearly. She could only ask,"Annie? What's wrong with you?"
"Hehe, you're throwing a tantrum. Then Miss Jenny, we'll be leaving first.”Zhuo Mingcheng deliberately shouted, and at the same time, he made a "shh" gesture to Annie. He pointed at Annie and gave her a look.
Annie didn't understand what Zhuo Mingcheng meant, but she didn't make any noise. She was curious to see what Zhuo Mingcheng was up to.
"Jenny, be careful!”
"Okay, I will. Have a good chat with Li Sheng.”Jenny smiled mischievously and tried to move forward.
Zhuo Mingcheng whispered into Annie's ear,""We'll follow her and send her home.”
The hot steam from the drink made Annie twist her cheeks unnaturally. It was only then that she came to a realization. So that was what Zhuo Mingcheng meant!
He didn't want to hurt Jenny's self-esteem, but he also didn't want to let her leave alone.
What a meticulous man. Annie couldn't help but think about how she had stood Jenny up last night despite being so attentive to her. This made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
It was only now that she felt Zhuo Mingcheng holding her hand. She quickly shook off the unruly Zhuo Mingcheng and tiptoed to catch up with Jenny.
Zhuo Mingcheng chuckled, but he wasn't angry and followed behind.
