Chapter 98 Is there something wrong with this wine?
When I woke up, it was already past midnight, and the sound of a phone call came from the living room. I turned around and looked at Wei Liang. She was sleeping soundly and was not awakened by the phone call. I carefully got up from the bed and opened the bedroom door.
Then he closed it gently, walked to the sofa, and answered the phone.
"Lin Duoduo, are you a pig? Why are you picking up the phone now?" It was Xia Haoyu who called.
"I just got up. Last night...last night I was chatting with Wei Liang." I answered honestly, but my eyes wandered indoors. Ever since I realized last night that Han Wenhao and I had a relationship, I actually felt a little afraid.
Facing Xia Haoyu’s psychology,
You haven't become a thief yet, why is this mentality so strong?
"Aren't you going to go out with Lin Kejia today? He has already eaten breakfast and you haven't gotten up yet..." Xia Haoyu said with helplessness in his voice.
"I forgot..." I said apologetically into the phone: "How about you take Lin Kejia to play first, and I'll take a taxi?"
"Lin Duoduo, I really want to pry open your head and see what's inside? Do you know what time it is? Forget it, you'd better spend time with your friend. Your brother happened to say he was going to the bookstore.
If you don’t worry about buying books..." Xia Haoyu said helplessly: "By the way, what happened to you last night? Did you run away in such a panic? Did something happen to Ye Weiliang?"
"No...no, it's been taken care of now." I stammered in reply, "Brother Yu, I'll leave it to you first, Lin Kejia. I happen to have something to do here..."
"Well, let's do your work first. After we finish buying the books, we can go watch a movie together in the evening." Xia Haoyu said in a good tone.
After hanging up the phone, I thought about it, but I still felt uncomfortable. What kind of temper did Xia Haoyu have? If he found out that Han Wenhao and I and those little Jiujiu were discovered, wouldn't I be dead... thinking about Chen last night
The way Luoluo looked at me, I always felt that she knew about this matter. If she said something in front of Xia Haoyu, wouldn't I...
I think I need to talk to Chen Luoluo. After all, she is now Han Wenhao's official girlfriend. No matter what the angle is, she is most likely to reveal my old past.
The phone rang again. I picked it up hurriedly and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, do you have any other instructions?"
"Duoduo, it's me." Could this deep and plain voice be...
"Hello Zhang Ju, long time no see..." I answered him gently, but couldn't restrain my trembling hands.
"Duoduo, I know you were at Ye Weiliang's place last night, so I called you directly. I just came back from a meeting in the province and wanted to see you right away."
"Today...it may not be convenient for me." Han Wenhao's matter is already a big one for me, why are you getting involved?
"Duoduo, you must see me, because... there are some things about Xia Haoyu that I want to talk to you about." Zhang Youze's voice suddenly became cautious.
"What time?" I still have plenty of time to talk about Xia Haoyu.
"It's lunch time, I'll pick you up later."
"OK."
What is Zhang Youze going to tell me this time? About the mysterious organization in Beijing? That has nothing to do with Xia Haoyu, right? What else is there? Has anyone found out that Xia Haoyu has done anything illegal?
Xia Haoyu is with me almost every day. He has no time to do illegal and criminal things. I really think too much, but when Zhang Youze said that, I was really scared.
"Duoduo, what are you thinking about?" Wei Liang walked out of the bedroom, looked at me sitting on the sofa in a daze, and said, "Who called?"
"Oh, Brother Yu..." I pointed to the phone, "I'm going to make you something to eat first. I won't be at home for lunch. I have to go out for something."
"No, you can eat the food you cooked yesterday as soon as it is hot. If you have something to do, you can leave first. I will take good care of myself."
I nodded and went indoors to change clothes. I don't know why, but my right eyelid suddenly jumped violently, which always made me a little uneasy.
When I got downstairs, I saw the black Audi. When I walked in, I saw that it was Zhang Youze. He was wearing a beige coat and a white knitted sweater as a base. His hair was also shortened. He looked energetic. He
Pointing to the passenger seat, I turned around and sat in the car.
"What's for lunch?" Zhang Youze asked me.
"Zhang Ju, what happened to Xia Haoyu? Does it have anything to do with your trip to the province this time?" I asked bluntly.
Zhang Youze glanced at me awkwardly and said, "Duoduo, if I asked you out for dinner alone today and didn't talk about Xia Haoyu, would you be too lazy to even talk to me?"
"Zhang Ju...I, that's not what I meant," I hurriedly explained, "I'm just worried about Brother Yu, so..."
Zhang Youze waved his hand. The pleasant look he had just now had long since disappeared. I heard him say, "Let's go eat first. I'm a little hungry."
The car stopped downstairs at the Sichuan restaurant. Zhang Youze got out of the car and walked over to open the door for me. The two of us walked in one after another. After reaching the second floor, we entered the private room. Zhang Youze sat down casually, and
I sat across from him.
Leaders like to reserve a private room for meals, even if there are only two people.
The waiter poured us tea and then walked out. The door of the private room was closed tightly. Only Zhang Youze and I were left in the room. He didn't speak, and neither did I. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Zhang Bureau..."
"Duoduo, I still like you to call me Zhang Youze..." Zhang Youze interrupted me and said.
"That's not good," I smiled awkwardly, "Where is your official position? I..."
"You and I are so familiar, but you calling me Zhang Ju seems a bit strange..." Zhang Youze raised his eyes and looked at me. I just felt that this look seemed a bit straightforward, so I could only lower my head and say nothing.
"Duoduo, on Christmas Day, I went to look for you..." Zhang Youze saw that I didn't speak, and said again, "But I didn't find you. I heard from Ye Weiliang that you didn't go back in those days."
"Yes, I...I'm at Brother Yu's place..." I explained. But after saying that, I felt strange again. I was at Brother Yu's place, why should I explain to Zhang Youze.
"On Christmas Day, a big event happened in Philadelphia, did you know?" Zhang Youze continued to stare at me and said slowly.
"What's the big deal?"
"Someone died." Zhang Youze looked at me. Although his voice was calm, it had a scary tone.
"This...has nothing to do with me, right?"
"Duoduo..." Zhang Youze did not answer me immediately, "Did you go somewhere else on Christmas Day, for example, a strange place, a place you have never been to?"
A strange place? Why do I become more and more confused the more I think about it?
"No, I can't remember clearly..." I shook my head and said, "Did something happen? Zhang... Zhang Youze, please explain it clearly."
"Um..." Zhang Youze looked at me and said, "Duoduo, let's eat first."
After Zhang Youze ordered a few simple Sichuan dishes, he asked the waiter for a bottle of wine, white. The waiter very wisely served two glasses, filled them up and walked out.
"Duoduo, I care about you so much, you should have a drink..." Zhang Youze pointed to the liquor in front of him and told me.
"I don't know how to drink. You know, I can drink just one drink." If Xia Haoyu knew that I was drinking with other men behind his back, wouldn't he be dead?
"Duoduo, I have always told you everything about Xia Haoyu. Just for this, you have to give me a toast." Zhang Youze looked at me and said.
"Then let me drink a little." I picked up the bar and said calmly: "Thank you very much, I'll do it first."
Zhang Youze's eyes were staring at me closely. It wasn't until I swallowed the spicy white wine that he withdrew his eyes with satisfaction and smiled faintly.
"I've finished drinking. Can you tell me now?" There was a choking smell in my mouth. I squinted my eyes and continued to ask.
"Duoduo, do you still remember the minor who had an accident in Juese?" Zhang Youze looked at me, picked up the liquor bottle on the table, poured me another glass, and continued: "Three days ago, the police were behind bars in the north of the city.
The mountain found his body..."
"What does that have to do with Xia Haoyu? What do you mean? Could it be..."
"Don't worry, have a drink first, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it if I say it..." Zhang Youze said, then handed me the liquor in front of me and gave me a confirming look.
I took one look at the liquor and drank it directly. I grabbed the bar, raised my fingers, and drank again. This sip was not as spicy as the previous sip. It went straight down my stomach without even tasting the taste.
"Zhang Youze, tell me directly. What do you mean? Is it possible that the minor's death has something to do with Xia Haoyu? Please tell me quickly, I'm ready!" Although my mind seems to be in a state of mush now.
, but I am more concerned about the central point of the topic of our meeting this time.
A few days ago, I had doubts in my heart, because I really lived in a daze that week. I originally thought that I could forget it if I didn't care, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case!
"The minor has a scar on his body, and it is exactly the same as the method used by one of the mysterious organizations I told you about before. If Xia Haoyu is Uncle De's disciple, then the case will be very clear." Zhang Youze handed me over.
He took away the wine glass and said calmly.
"I'm afraid you didn't come here for such a simple thing, right?" My head was heavy. I knew I shouldn't have had this second cup. I slowly raised my head and suddenly found Zhang Youze's face close at hand, and I was stunned.
For a moment.
"Zhang Ju...you..."
"You're right, I didn't come here for this little thing..." Zhang Youze looked at me, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "You know, I have other things to do...
"
"Zhang Ju, is there something wrong with this wine...is there something wrong with this wine?"
