"What's going on?" Tang Yanxue asked with a frown.
She always felt that there was something mysterious about the conversation between Xu Bing and Xiaoxue, as if the layer of household paper had never been pierced.
"Why can't I understand what you are saying? Are you hiding anything from me?" Tang Yanxue asked.
Xu Bing smiled bitterly: "You can't ask about this matter."
"Why?"
"State secrets."
Xu Bing said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yanxue stopped asking. He still remembered that Xu Bing seemed to be a member of a secret department of the country, and it was normal to have some secrets.
Xiaoxue didn't come out for a long time, but after he came out, everything seemed to be fine, and he was very enthusiastic about Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue again.
After dinner, Xiaoxue suggested taking Xu Bing and Tang Yan out for a walk. Anyway, Tang Yanxue said she was here for a trip, so she wanted to be a free escort.
Neither Xu Bing nor Tang Yanxue objected to Xiaoxue's proposal.
Xiaoxue seems to have been carefully dressed. She doesn't wear makeup, so she looks more cute and pure. Her appearance may not be as good as Tang Yanxue, but her temperament is completely different from Tang Yanxue.
Xu Bing can be said to be hugging him from left to right now, and he keeps turning heads when walking on the road.
There is a large clothing store near the villa area. Xiaoxue didn't seem to be particularly familiar with it. She took Xu Bing around the clothing store for a long time and finally chose two sets of clothes. Xu Bing had to pay for it, and finally Xiaoxue swiped his card.
Xu Bing noticed that almost all the things Xiaoxue bought throughout the afternoon were swiped by credit card, and Xiaoxue was relatively generous with money. This was somewhat different from what Xu Bing had known before. Thinking about the villa where Xiaoxue now lives, Xu Bing's heart
It kept sinking.
Although Shentu's whereabouts have not yet been found, Xu Bing has become increasingly suspicious of whether Shentu has really rebelled. Otherwise, how could Xiaoxue be so rich all of a sudden?
There's really no way to explain this.
In the evening, everyone returned home. Xu Bing asked Xiaoxue to go out for dinner. Xiaoxue took the initiative to invite Xu Bing. Finally, the three of them went to the nearby Fengyun Restaurant.
This is a star hotel, very high-end. The three of them booked a private room. Xiaoxue called the waiter and asked Xu Bing to order. Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue ordered a few home-cooked dishes. Xiaoxue said no, and added a few more.
For the signature dish, I asked Xu Bing what kind of wine he wanted to drink. Xu Bing said it was casual, so Xiaoxue said to the waiter, "A bottle of red wine."
Soon, the waiter served the dishes and two bottles of red wine.
Xiaoxue probably didn't recognize the red wine, and she didn't drink it, but Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue's expressions changed drastically.
Lafite in 1982.
It's really not an ordinary product.
Even if it is a copycat version, the price is definitely not low.
Xu Bing stopped the waiter from opening the wine and said, "Exchange for two bottles of cheaper ones."
"This -" the waiter looked at Xiaoxue, a little embarrassed.
Xiaoxue smiled casually and said: "It's okay, Brother Bing, just drink from this bar. I don't drink anyway. It's rare for you to come here, so I have to entertain you well."
Xu Bing couldn't laugh or cry: "Then you don't need to order such a good bar. Do you know what kind of wine this is?"
Xiaoxue's face changed, and she shook her head in embarrassment.
Xu Bing spoke, his face became a little serious, and said: "I'm in a bad mood today, so I won't drink. Waiter, please take this wine away."
The waiter was reluctant and had to take the wine away. Xu Bing remained silent, but Xiaoxue was frightened and lowered her head as if she had done something wrong and didn't know how to speak.
"Xiaoxue——" Xu Bing shouted.
"Ah!" Xiaoxue was startled.
Xu Bing said earnestly: "I find that you are different from before. I don't know why you are so rich all of a sudden, but even if you are rich, you can't squander it like this."
Xiaoxue's face turned red and she felt a little aggrieved.
In fact, she was not like this usually. It was indeed because of Xu Bing's arrival that she was so generous. But she didn't expect that she would be lectured by Xu Bing.
However, Xiaoxue was really ashamed and lowered her head in shame.
"Brother Bing, I——"
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's eat. We can't stay for a few days before going back to Tianhai to celebrate the New Year. By the way, it's time for you to take the college entrance examination next year, right?" Xu Bing felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing and felt a little sorry, so he changed the topic.
Xiaoxue nodded: "Yes, I will take the college entrance examination next year."
"Which school are you going to take the exam for?" Xu Bing asked casually.
"China Academy of Art." Xiaoxue whispered: "I just don't know if I can get into it."
Xu Bing smiled and comforted and encouraged: "How could you fail the exam? I have confidence in you, so keep going."
Xiaoxue laughed and nodded heavily: "I will definitely work hard."
"That's good. As long as you are promising, your brother will not be disappointed." Xu Bing said with a smile.
Xiaoxue's expression changed, she quickly lowered her head and said yes.
Xu Bing was very depressed. He didn't expect that his words would make the atmosphere tense again.
Next, Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue kept trying to lighten the atmosphere, but ultimately failed.
Soon, after the meal was finished, the three of them went downstairs to pay the bill. Naturally, it was Xiaoxue who swiped the card again.
"Oh, I want to go to the bathroom, please wait for me here." Tang Yanxue gave Xiaoxue a meaningful look and said.
When she went to the bathroom, Xu Bing and Xiaoxue were the only two people left in the hall.
"Let's sit down over there and wait for her." Xu Bing pointed to the sofa not far away and said.
Xiaoxue nodded.
The two of them sat down. Xu Bing took a breath and said straight to the point: "Xiaoxue, I am your brother's best brother. You should know that, right?"
Xiaoxue became a little nervous, but she nodded naturally: "Yes, I know, I often mention you, saying that you saved his life, and he also saved your life."
"Yes, speaking of it, I still miss those experiences." Xu Bing sighed and said, "Then do you know why I came to you?"
Xiaoxue quickly shook her head, looking nervous.
"Because your brother is missing, I was asked to find her by the superiors. Let me tell you the truth. The superiors suspected that your brother had rebelled. This matter is very serious, so I must find your brother and clear his name."
, I can't watch him being suspected." Xu Bing no longer hid it, and said straight to the point.
Xiaoxue's face changed drastically, and she said excitedly: "What did you say? My brother rebelled?"
"No, no, definitely not." Xiaoxue said repeatedly: "How could he rebel? It must be a mistake, it must be a mistake, no, Brother Bing, you have to redress his grievances.
"
"It's natural." Xu Bing nodded: "But the problem is, I can't find him now. Xiaoxue, do you believe that Brother Bing will never do anything sorry to your brother? Tell me, the villa where you live now
, and the money you are using now, is it all given to you by your brother?"
Xiaoxue lowered her head and said nothing.
Xu Bing felt more confident and sighed: "I know even if you don't tell me, it must be the money he gave you. I know your family's situation best. Your villa should have just been moved in not long ago. It is not a resettlement house, but
Your brother bought it for you, and he also did your divination for you. He must have given you a lot of money recently, right?"
Xiaoxue still lowered her head and said nothing.
"I said, I'm not harming him. I'm looking for him to help him." Xu Bing continued: "It's good that I found him. If the people above find him, things will be in trouble. If he really does
We can still make up for whatever mistakes have been made, and we cannot let him make the same mistake again and again."
"My brother is not a bad person." Xiaoxue looked up, tears filling her eyes.
"I believe him too." Xu Bing said: "But the problem is, you have to let me find him, Xiaoxue, you have always been very sensible. The reason why I asked you so directly is because I believe you know the seriousness of the matter. Tell me
How can I find your brother?"
Xiaoxue gritted her teeth and said after a long time: "I don't know where he is."
"You don't know?" Xu Bing frowned: "Then tell me, how does he contact you?"
"He called me -" Xiaoxue suddenly stopped, with a look of regret on her face.
"Then tell me his phone number and I'll call him." Xu Bing struck while the iron was hot.
Xiaoxue hesitated for a while before saying seriously: "Brother Bing, are you really going to help him?"
Xu Bing nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I will."
"Then you promised me, you can't lie to me." Xiaoxue bit her lip.
Xu Bing nodded again.
Xiaoxue then gave Xu Bing a mobile phone number. Xu Bing was happy, but on the surface he remained calm. He wrote down the number and immediately called it impatiently.
There was a beeping sound from the phone, and then the other party hung up.
Xu Bing did not continue to fight, but said to Xiaoxue: "Let me borrow your mobile phone."
Xiaoxue handed over the phone, and Xu Bing used Xiaoxue's phone to dial Shentu's number again. Soon, the other party connected.
However, the other party was not in a hurry to speak. Xu Bing shouted excitedly: "Brother, it's me."
But the other party suddenly hung up. Xu Bing frowned and called again, turning off his phone.
Returning the phone to Xiaoxue, Xu Bing smiled bitterly and said, "He turned it off."
"What should we do?" Xiaoxue asked anxiously.
"Leave this matter to me." Xu Bing glanced not far away and saw Tang Yanxue coming out of the bathroom.
"Let's go!" Tang Yanxue gave Xu Bing a questioning look, and the latter nodded slightly.
"Okay!" Xu Bing stood up.
The three of them walked out of the door of the restaurant and were about to take a taxi to leave. Not far away, four or five vans suddenly drove over, followed by more than a dozen motorcycles. The sound of rumbling was loud and powerful.
More than fifty young people emerged from the car in a hurry. Each of them was holding a stick in his hand, and many of them were holding machetes in their hands. Together with the people who jumped out of the motorcycle behind, the total number of people was more than seventy.
, and I don’t know how those vans can fit so many people.
Xu Bing was stunned and frowned.
It can't be so bad, right? You can encounter gangsters doing things as soon as you go out? Is the Northeast really not peaceful?
If a handsome guy appeared in front of these gangsters with two beauties, nothing good would happen. Xu Bing had this realization, so he carefully prepared to leave.
It's a pity that he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble found him automatically.
"Brother Hei, that's him. That's the guy who beat us during the day." A young man shouted next to the leader of the red-haired ghost.
A young man next to the red-haired ghost whispered: "Brother Hei, we made an appointment with the frog to duel here."
"Brothers have a grudge, how can we not help avenge them?" The red-haired ghost licked his lips, stared at Tang Yanxue and Xiaoxue lustfully, and then led others to force them over.
Tang Yanxue and Xiaoxue rarely saw such group fights, so they immediately shrank behind Xu Bing.
Xu Bing smiled bitterly.
Looks like I need to stretch my muscles again tonight!
(I have a manuscript saved, but there was a power outage in the morning and I couldn’t upload it. Now that the call has come, I will upload it. The second update will be at 4 p.m.)
