"Are you looking for Xiao Zhuang? Xiao Zhuang isn't here. He went out for some matters and hasn't returned yet.”Jenny said without any ulterior motives. Or rather, the world she came into contact with didn't make her wary of everyone she met.
Zhuo Mingcheng was a little disappointed." Oh, I see. If he comes back, please tell him that Aidi Xi is looking for him. Just let him make this call."”Then, he said a string of numbers.
"Wait a minute…Alright, Xi Sheng, right? Alright, I'll pass the message.”Jenny gladly agreed and wrote down the number on a piece of paper.
It seemed that Jenny's importance in Zhuang's eyes had risen to a level higher than his own life. After completing the mission, he was hunted down. Not only did he not take the opportunity to escape, but he found a dark corner to lick. He licked his wounds like a lone wolf.
After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Mingcheng looked at his watch and did not choose to leave. Instead, he leaned against the phone booth and smoked one cigarette after another. When he was bored, he would size up the pedestrians who were in a hurry and guess the story between them based on their physical characteristics.
" This person must have just had an argument with his wife or family. There are three red marks on his neck…This one must have business to discuss. Unfortunately, he didn't notice the white dirt on his back. It must have been stuck to the wall for some time…" Zhuo Mingcheng's sharp gaze swept over him again and again. After a long while, he was stunned and couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm becoming more and more like a detective.”
Habits could really change a person.
A young man walked to the phone booth and saw a person standing next to him waiting. However, he looked around and realized that the phone booth was not used at all. He felt a little strange.
Just as he walked in, Zhuo Mingcheng flashed his badge." I'm sorry, police officers use the badge over there.”
Just like that, everyone who wanted to use the phone booth was dissuaded by Zhuo Mingcheng with a few words. Occasionally, when they met unreasonable people, they only needed to be a little more serious and most of them would leave while cursing.
Fortunately, there were quite a few phone booths along the road. They only needed to walk a few hundred meters more. The timid citizens would not talk too much, but the stubborn ones were unwilling to get into a conflict with the police over the few hundred meters. Otherwise, if they really obstructed the case, who would they reason with if they were detained for 24 hours?
For ninety-five percent of people, this was just a small matter in their lives. They would forget it in a flash, and they would not even pay more attention to it. However, for some people, this small matter was extremely important.
……
"Hello?" In the evening, when Jenny was about to go to work, her phone rang again.
This time, it was Xiao Zhuang.
"Jenny, it's me."
"Zhuang?" Jenny was pleasantly surprised. You're back? Are you done?"
"Not yet. I should be back in a few days. I can't wait for you at home for the next two days. You must be careful when you go to and from work.”
Jenny was a little disappointed, but she still said sensibly,""Okay, I got it. You have to take care of yourself too. I'll wait for you at home.”
At the same time, in a certain room, the thick curtains were tightly drawn. Although it was only sunset, no light could penetrate through, making the entire room seem gloomy.
Xiao Zhuang sat in the shadows as if he was walking in the dark. After hearing what his sweetheart said, the corners of his mouth could not help but reveal a smile.
"Alright, I understand."
Just as he was about to hang up, he heard Jenny suddenly say,"By the way, a Xi Sheng called this afternoon. He said that he's your friend and wants to look for you.”
"Xi Sheng?" Xiao Zhuang smelled a hint of danger and hurriedly asked,"Which Xi Sheng?"
"You don't even know your friends.”Jenny said with a smile. She was naive enough to think that Zhuo Mingcheng was Xiao Zhuang's friend." It's Xi Aidi and Xi Sheng.”
" Xi Aidi…" Xiao Zhuang repeated subconsciously. Suddenly, his pupils contracted violently." Interpol!”
Jenny was shocked by Zhuang's reaction." What…what's wrong?”
Xiao Zhuang's fists were clenched tightly, and his veins were bulging. After trying hard to adjust his tone, he tried his best to be as friendly as possible."Oh…it's him. We've met once and have some business dealings, but I forgot about him for a moment.”
"Did he say what it was?"
"No, he just wanted me to tell you that he came to look for you. Also, he left his phone number. Why can't I contact him?"
Xiao Zhuang frowned deeply and made up an excuse."This person is so annoying. In order to avoid trouble, I left your number.”
"You're so bad! Hehehe…Then I'll say it and you can write it down. His number is XXXXXX.”After Jenny finished speaking, she muttered to herself," This Xi Sheng's voice sounds so familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before.”
Xiao Zhuang's heart tightened when he heard this, and he made the same decision as Zhuo Mingcheng.
"Let's not bother about him. He's probably looking for me to drink. By the way, Jenny, I was thinking about it again. You should take leave from work for the next two days. We'll talk when I get back.”
"How can that do? I can do it alone!”Jenny insisted.
"It's like this. I plan to bring you to another place in two days. I think a change of environment might be better for your eyes.”Xiao Zhuang thought of a wonderful reason.
"Move somewhere else…?" Jenny repeated, her heart filled with joy. She threw away the argument just now and said happily: "Sure, I want to live by the sea and listen to the sound of the waves.”
Jenny's longing kept coming from the phone, but Xiao Zhuang thought of the danger he was in now. He gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. "Alright, we'll live by the sea."”
"Zhuang, what's wrong with your voice?”
"It's okay. I'm soaking my feet. The water is too hot.”After Zhuang made a few weird noises, Jenny giggled and said a few more sweet nothings before hanging up.
After hanging up, Xiao Zhuang looked at the string of numbers in front of him and his smile gradually disappeared.
