his mermaid

***

The police cordoned off the scene where Yueguo was stolen. Although it was just an ordinary criminal case, the neighbors in the whole building were questioned by the police until very late.It is said that the police also went to the community to conduct inquiries, and they wanted to tune the video to check for suspicious people nearby. Once there was news, they would notify Yaochen, because it was Yaochen's phone number that was left behind.

Afterwards, Yaochen took Yueguo to a high-end hotel in the urban area, and the downstairs was a bustling commercial street.The room has a whole wall of glass floor-to-ceiling windows, surrounded by the night view of S city.

Yaochen went to take a shower first.He was going to stay and stay in the hotel, otherwise he wouldn't take a shower in the hotel, and he had booked a room with a double bed.

Yue Guo stared at the bathroom glass door, while eating the late-night snack brought by the waiter.As soon as the waiter was gone, he fastened the chain lock.Now, finally, he no longer worried about a thief appearing, but instead worried about how to get along with Yaochen for a while.They had been at odds many times, and neither of them mentioned the matter of reconciliation, but they were going to live together soon, and Yueguo had to take a bath after him, so as not to smell bad on his body.

"Is it done?" Yaochen knocked on the glass door with his knuckles.

"All right…"

"need my help?"

"No, I can handle it."

Yueguo has the habit of applying cream after bathing, and when there is no sound of water splashing in the bathroom, he is applying cream.After taking off the prosthesis, he first massaged his legs.The feeling of being held up will cause poor blood flow, obviously you can sit on the bedside to do these things, but you are just procrastinating until you have to come out.

Yue Guo crawled onto the bed by the bathroom light, and gently put down his crutches.Yaochen seemed to have fallen asleep.There was still a distance in the quilt they were covering together, and he was very afraid of bumping into each other while sleeping, so he chose to turn his back on purpose.

"You can't walk on foot yet." Yaochen turned around in the quilt and leaned over.

"...Right now, not yet."

"Why aren't you in a wheelchair?"

"I didn't take the previous one, and I didn't buy a new one."

"Go back and get it tomorrow. I'll go to AS by the way, and then I'll go to the hospital to have a look at the problem of limb repair."

"What are you going to do?"

"Just go with me, I will swipe the card."

AS is a chain of beauty salons that can do hairstyles.As Yaochen said, if it's the Chinese New Year, he should take care of himself, even if no one will reunite with him this year.

Yue Guo didn't speak.

Yaochen leaned over again and again, embraced Yue Guo's body from the back, and then kissed the back of the neck.This is the message of his interest, and it is also the usual sequence of intimacy when they were in love.After a while, the desk lamp was turned on, and he was obviously more excited when he saw Yue Guo's body.

I don't know what will happen if everything goes on, but in any case, the cracks are slowly being repaired.

It's really strange, Yueguo doesn't have any good qualities worth yearning for, and there are no benefits that can be coveted.There are countless excellent people in the world, and it is almost no difficulty to catch people like Yue Guo.But when we are together, we are happy and joyful.Such a mood is pure and purposeless, and a person chosen by his own eyes.

He had no way to describe this feeling more accurately in words, he only knew that once he got it, he would never let it go again, and the stupid behavior of abandoning Yueguo before would never happen again.

After an unknown amount of time, Yueguo closed his eyes sleepily, but couldn't really fall asleep.

He caressed Yaochen's hair. Yaochen's handsome facial features fascinated people. He imagined having a relationship with Yaochen more than once when he was in college, but it was too unrealistic to say it, so he never revealed it.Now, such a wish has come true, and they have spent half a year in the couple's life. Even if there was a conflict recently, they finally got back together.

"What are you thinking?" He grabbed him with both hands.

"nothing…"

If Yaochen didn't wake up suddenly, he would almost have kissed him.However, the imprisoned hands can't escape, on the contrary, it's more like a gesture of being kissed.

"I'm wondering how Xiaoxue is doing."

"Deposit it at Xiaohan's place."

"Can I take it back? If I buy dog ​​food during this period, I will give you the money..."

"Where do you bring it back?"

Yue Guo looked away, and suddenly his heart beat faster.

"You want to run away and regret reconciling with me, don't you?"

"I don't think so..."

"If you want to bring back the puppy, you can only bring it back to Guan Haiji's home."

"I see."

Yue Guo lowered his head, and there was something moist in his eyes, but he was genuinely happy.

***

The next morning, after breakfast at the hotel, get on the bus.

Yue Guo seemed to be in good spirits, after a night of rest, he seemed to have returned to the previous days.Although he didn't express it in words, Yao Chen was no longer angry with him without saying much.

The car drove to the police station.

"The police contacted us to make a detailed record and tell the details of what happened yesterday."

"Did they find any suspicious person?" Yue Guo asked.

"Probably not yet."

"Will it be nothing like last time..."

"The police think it is an ordinary theft for the time being. By the way, is the lost notebook important?"

"It has been used for many years, and there is nothing particularly important in it. I just use it to look up information on the Internet."

"The prisoner walked so fast without leaving any footprints or fingerprints. He should have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and he must have investigated the neighborhood in advance. But if the prisoner is familiar with the environment, he should target the richer residents."

"It's strange. I don't have anything of value in the house, how can this be..."

Yue Guo muttered and looked out the window.

"It's related to the previous prank."

"What?" Yue Guo came back to his senses and realized the coincidence of this incident. He hadn't analyzed it in that direction before because he didn't understand what the other party's purpose was.

"I was wondering if the prisoner had to put something on you before he would stop." Yao Chen took a deep breath.

"thing?"

Yue Guo has no clue at all.

"Didn't you tell me that my father said you were going to deliver something? What does that mean? You have what he wants here?"

"I don't know, don't ask..."

"Think about it carefully, anything that can be related to my father will do."

"I really don't know." Yue Guo lowered his head, "Is uncle a prisoner?"

"not sure."

"Is it because he is unhappy when he knows about my relationship with you?"

"It's not for this reason. From a very young age, he will investigate the people I have been with, so it may not be that others will be threatened. This time it should be something else."

"Then you have dated... there should be a lot of people." Yue Guo's eyes wandered to the glass panel.

"Where do you want to be?" The car stopped after a brake, and the destination was close at hand, Yueguo regretted saying those words that seemed to be jealous.

"You rarely show your jealousy. I'm very happy." Yaochen was quite surprised and smiled.

After turning off the power, he helped Yueguo unbuckle his seat belt.

"Has Xiaohui ever said anything strange to you?"

"I do not remember……"

"Have you mentioned the matter related to contraband?"

"No." Yue Guo shook his head, "I'll let you know when I think about it."

"Not telling me, but telling the police, now we can only rely on the police's search as much as possible."

Regarding last night's case, after the police went to the community to inquire, they stopped paying close attention.

After arriving at the police station, they re-recorded a more detailed statement, but it was also routine.It wasn't until Yue Guo mentioned that he had received threats that he attracted the attention of the criminal investigation team.They promised to send people to implement protective measures as much as possible, which sounded like polite words, and they also said to Yue Guo, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it is not impossible for some thieves to steal and sell things before the Chinese New Year and then go back to their hometown."

It would be great to be able to minimize these miscellaneous cases. Without conclusive evidence, no one can assert that all events are connected.

Back in the car, Yaochen turned on the music in the car, and his mood eased a lot.

"If there is no major incident, they will not realize the danger, let alone what they say is useless."

"Sorry, I don't know where I dropped that threatening letter."

If the threatening letter had not been lost at that time, it would have been more justified in front of the police.

"It's ok."

"The previous explosion was also..."

"If the police don't pay attention, we have to investigate by ourselves, and hope that there will be no more accidents in the future."

"Ourselves...then how do we investigate?" Yue Guo opened his eyes wide.

"I want to get as close as possible to my father so that I know what he's been up to and whether he's involved in these incidents."

Yaochen stretched out his hand and patted Yue Guo's leg. "S City invited him to participate in the New Year's performance. He will hold a press conference and New Year's reception the day before. There must be many people and reporters at the scene. I will enter the venue as a guest."

"Have you locked him down?"

"You can say that." Yaochen nodded affirmatively, "The driver who caused your car accident worked in our family, but I don't have any memory, probably when I was very young. But if it's true, my father must know him , and even kept in touch.”

"You suspect that uncle...is the person who caused the car accident..."

"It's not just that." Yaochen said, "Some time ago, one of my father's students was poisoned and died while smoking X, but the police concluded that he committed suicide. I very much suspect that my father took contraband, even bought murder secretly, and did something shameful. He has been abroad all year round, has a lot of friends, and has a private jet, and the police can't find many things that he can bring."

"The student who committed suicide, is that the one you called to ask me if I knew him..." Yue Guo recalled the situation that day. It turned out that Yaochen had been investigating for so long, but that call was interrupted because of Shijie's presence. Get hung up on, "I was... really sorry."

"It's okay. That person and Yue Hui are in the same class, I thought you might know each other."

"..."

Yue Guo showed a puzzled expression.

"how?"

"It's nothing, I'm just guessing, maybe Xiaohui knows something. Although she never told me, if it's her..."

An ominous and anxious feeling spread in my heart, "That's why she was killed. The target of the car accident was her."

***

The press corps of major news agencies surrounded the venue, it seemed that it was too late to wait for the end of the press conference, scrambling to shoot the scene live.

Celebrities and celebrities from all walks of life in the center of the venue started their social activities after entering the venue.

Tonight's dinner will be the last gathering of the upper class in S City before the arrival of the new year, and only those who have been invited are eligible to enter the venue.There's even an indoor swimming pool for entertaining in the heated, glass-enclosed room, surrounded by tables of stacked white wines.In a corner of the venue, the accompaniment of the piano and small orchestra came continuously.

Yue Guo was wearing the dress he bought yesterday and was sitting in a wheelchair.

"It shouldn't be strange for me to do this, right?" He looked behind him, and Yuhan was standing beside him, wearing a long dark red dress.Yueguo felt that his trousers looked unnatural, and he was not suitable for this party.

"It's not surprising, the dress fits well, and they can't tell that it's a prosthetic." Yuhan lowered her head and said in a low voice.

She knew that Yaochen was investigating his father, and Yaochen was worried that he would be overwhelmed when he came to the venue, so he asked Yuhan to come over and take care of Yueguo.

But Yue Guo came to the scene only as a bait.He wanted to know how his father would react when he saw himself standing with Yueguo. He had previously threatened Yueguo not to appear again, so tonight he could test his real purpose.

"Brother Yaochen, go and say hello to them, I'll just push Yueguo."

They thought that the people from the welcome department would stop them, but Yaochen went up and winked, and they let them go.

"They know Yaochen..."

"It should be." Yuhan agreed.

The host was Jiang Dewen, and their people recognized Yaochen as Mr. Jiang's second son, so even if they didn't show the invitation letter, they could still enter.

But Yaochen would come to the scene, and he didn't inform his father in advance.

Feeling a bit uneasy, this was the first time Yueguo attended such a formal occasion, luckily someone was with him.

If someone came to say hello to Yaochen, Yaochen would introduce Yuhan and Yueguo as his friends.As long as he mentions that he is Jiang Dewen's second son, other people will be very enthusiastic and invite him to drink, and it is not good for Yaochen to follow Yueguo's side, he said to deal with those people first.

At this time, the piano sound that had been playing continuously in the venue suddenly stopped.

The pianist in a white dress got off the stage and walked towards the center of the venue.The pianist was Ban Nian, he greeted several members of the orchestra, and took a glass of wine in the hand of a waiter.

After walking two steps, he saw Yue Guo.

"Hello." Pan Nian walked straight to the side of the wheelchair.

"The piano sound just now was you..."

Yue Guo looked up at him, guessing that Jiang Dewen might have invited him to accompany him.

"Yes. You heard it over here too, there's a microphone over there."

Pan Nian smiled and said, "I played for a long time, so I took a break. Why are you here?"

Yue Guo hesitated for a few seconds.

Yuhan's voice replaced her and replied, "We are here at the invitation of Mr. Jiang Yaochen."

"It's so strange, the invitation...I've seen that his name is not on the guest list, let alone your names, right?" Pan Nian looked at Yu Han, but it was not enough to arouse his interest. His focus was still on Yue Han. He lowered his head to observe Yue Guo's outfit today, "The first time I saw you, I thought you were here to apply for a job as an accompanist. But you haven't practiced the piano for a long time, can you do it?"

"He can play the piano at home." Yuhan said with a smile.

This made Bannian look at Yuhan again, but Yuhan was not the one he wanted to ask, so he was a little embarrassed.

"Didn't you move away from Yaochen's house? You should break up with him."

"I'm sorry, I didn't move away, and I didn't break up." Yuhan answered the third sentence again for Yueguo.

At this time, the atmosphere was a little stiff, Pan Nian had to turn around, "Sorry, I'll go there first."

Yueguo laughed amusedly, raised his head and straightened his back.

"Thank you for saving me."

"Yueguo, who is he?"

"He is a classmate who went to study in England with Yaochen."

"He can play the piano." Yuhan frowned.

"Yeah...he was one of the top students in our class at the time."

"It's him." Yuhan rolled her big eyes vigorously, deliberately letting Yueguo see, "So he is the person my mother said I hate several times, and he really hates him so much. No wonder when I saw him, I felt a kind of Innate hostility."

"Didn't you have it when you first met me?"

"Then how could it be the same. Look at the way he was showing off his power just now, as if he was scolding you. How could someone speak so badly."

"He always talks like that, but it's not malicious. I want to go to the bathroom."

Yue Guo didn't want to fight with Ban Nian anymore, he was already used to the way Ban Nian talked.

"Then be careful yourself." Yuhan watched him slide the wheelchair to the backstage.

Before arriving at the venue, they had discussed in the car what they might encounter. If Yue Guo met Jiang Dewen, there might be conflicts.

The bathroom here is very large, decorated like a palace, the entire wall is covered with mirrors, and there is even a fountain, and then two forks lead to bathrooms for different genders and rooms for the disabled.

Next to the lavatory leads to the lounge, which is not only luxurious in appearance, but also functional.

Yueguo moved to the sink. He stood up and stretched out his hand to turn on the faucet, but he couldn't stand stably. He quickly sat back on the wheelchair. After washing his hands, he also washed his face.

The door of the living room was opened, and a man stepped out.

From the mirror facing him, Yueguo saw his appearance.

"Hello, Mr. Gao."

The person who came in turned out to be Jiang Dewen.Yue Guo widened his eyes to confirm that he was not mistaken.No wonder I didn't see my uncle in the venue before, he has been in the lounge.

"meet again."

Jiang Dewen was wearing a tuxedo suitable for the show, and he smiled at Yue Guo, but this smile was very hypocritical.

Yue Guo turned the wheelchair, not knowing what to say.

"Did Yaochen bring you here? I heard that he was here, and I was very happy. Thank you very much. Without you, he would never have come."

There was some meaning in the words, Yue Guo shook his head and said, "It's nothing... Uncle, hello."

"However, have you forgotten what I warned you last time?"

After a while of silence, Jiang Dewen also went up and turned on the tap to wash his hands.

"You continue to associate with Yaochen, which has a great influence on him. I thought you would bring him some good influence."

The sound of the water stopped, and Jiang Dewen took out a handkerchief to wipe the water droplets on his hands, "Unfortunately, that's not the case. You have already caused him to misunderstand me greatly. I think you know what I'm talking about."

"what?"

"When will you hand over the things in your hand to me?"

Jiang Dewen took a step closer to him, and his leather shoes stepped on the ground without making any sound.

"Uncle, I would like to know what it is. I don't understand at all when you talk like that."

"I don't need to make it clearer. But that thing is in your hands. I won't do anything to you, of course, if you don't leak it out. But Yaochen's misunderstanding of me is getting bigger and bigger, I'm really scared, are you getting in the way. If you do something you shouldn't do, you should know how serious the consequences are."

Yue Guo tried hard to guess the meaning of his words, and he probably understood that Jiang Dewen mistakenly thought that he was threatening him, so he played a prank and wanted Yue Guo to hand over the so-called handle.But what is that?Yue Guo frowned and thought.He must have missed something, otherwise how could Jiang Dewen be so sure that the thing was in his hands.

"Uncle, this is a threat, I can call the police."

"Of course, you can call the police." Jiang Dewen tutted his head and shook his head, "But is it useful to call the police? Calling the police will make your legs come back? The police are so incompetent that they can't even catch the burglar. "

"How did you know that my house was robbed? You did all those pranks." A burst of cold sweat broke out on Yue Guo's back.

"Guess, I did it." Jiang Dewen smiled with his eyes bent.

"I don't want to guess. It was you who bought the murderer. Even Chu Quan's father was also your subordinate. You bribed him to hit my sister."

Yueguo felt the chill on his expression, but he didn't intend to escape, he wanted to face all this and know the truth sooner.

"That's what your sister asked for, and it has nothing to do with me."

"You know her." Yue Guo looked firmly at Jiang Dewen's face, "Besides, you asked someone to kill her."

"If I wanted to kill her, of course I could. I could even make you do the same thing as her. Have you forgotten how you drowned?"

What exactly does he want, what is that thing?what exactly is it?

Jiang Dewen was getting closer and closer to him, and Yue Guo couldn't help but tilt his head.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Dewen just took out a small card.

"This is my business card, remember to keep it carefully. When you go back tonight, give me an answer. If I don't get your call, I think I should find some more people to ask. Don't mind if I ask and enter the venue with you. the girl from?"

Jiang Dewen handed out his business card and put it on Yueguo's lap, and then he entered the lounge again, leaving Yueguo standing in front of the sink in a daze.

"Moon Country!"

It was Yaochen's voice, and Yueguo immediately put away the business card and put it in his pocket.

"What's wrong?" Yaochen's figure entered the mirror, "Xiaohan said you haven't come out since you entered the bathroom."

"fine……"

Yueguo concealed it with a smile, he didn't want to tell Yaochen that he met Jiang Dewen just now.

"Don't worry me, you should have told me in advance just now."

"It's just washing your hands, it's ok. And I've done it."

Yaochen pushed the wheelchair back to the venue, and at the same time, Jiang Dewen also entered the venue from the other end of the lounge.

Suddenly, the surrounding lights gathered around Jiang Dewen, and he walked to the stage in the middle of the venue.

"Everyone is welcome tonight."
