Midsummer Night's Ashes

"I'm sure he cheated."

This was the first sentence Li Zhao said after sitting down. The "he" refers to his boyfriend.

On the desk in front of him was a laptop computer and stacked document bags, which were full of "chips" that could change someone's life. However, there was no one on the chair, and he stared straight ahead, All I could see was the big window and the glare of the sun.

A glass of water with ice cubes was placed in front of him, and a tall and thin man sat down in front of him.

Li Zhao looked at him, sizing up this person carefully, trying to determine whether this person is credible or not through such observations.

High, as high as it should be over 1.9 meters.

Thin, so thin that it seems that only the skeleton is left.

Tall and thin, he looked like he was severely malnourished. He was only in his early thirties but his body was slightly bent, looking like an old man who was dying.

But just by looking at those eyes, you can tell that this man is not dying.

The eagle's sharp eyes fell on Li Zhao, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it didn't convey the kindness and affinity that should be in the smile.

"Since you can find me, it means that your ability is not small."

"of course."

"Then the person who introduced you should have told you what my fee level is like."

"of course."

"OK, if you're willing to pay the fee, I certainly don't mind one more client."

"of course."

"Then, please tell me the specific information about your boyfriend so that I can start my work."

Li Zhao raised his hand and held the paper cup in front of him.

The ice cubes are gradually melting, and the paper cups are slightly cool.

"Don't you want to hear how we met?"

"That's not going to help my job in any way."

"Perhaps, you can also ask how far our relationship has progressed."

The person opposite smiled: "Mr. Li, my time is precious."

Li Zhao looked at him coldly, got up suddenly, and left without looking back.

When he walked down the steps, he found that the business card was still in his pocket, took it out, tore it up two or three times, and threw it into the trash can on the street.

The midsummer noon sun dazzled him so much that he couldn't open his eyes, standing on the side of the road frowning, suddenly he couldn't remember where he had parked the car before.

The phone rang suddenly, and the caller displayed a string of unsaved numbers, but he knew who the caller was.

"Dinner together at noon?"

The man's voice came from the receiver, this voice used to make him orgasm just listening to it, but at the moment it only made him feel sick.

Li Zhao opened his mouth to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't help retching on the side of the road.

See, he said, now hearing this man's voice makes him want to throw up.

"what happened to you?"

The voice of the other party continued to come, and even the concern seemed ridiculous.

Li Zhao supported someone's car on the side of the road, slowly suppressed the desire to vomit, then took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible: "It's okay, maybe I have some heatstroke."

He raised his hand supporting the car and found that his palm was covered with a thick layer of dust.

He frowned and glanced at the car with some displeasure.

"Where are you? I'll pick you up for lunch."

"No need." Li Zhao said, "I'm out to do some errands, and I have an appointment at noon."

The other party hesitated for a moment, and then said to him: "Okay, then go home early after you finish your work, and I will go directly to the airport later."

"The business trip went well." Li Zhao looked directly at the sun, "Remember to bring me a souvenir."

After hanging up the phone, a plane rumbled overhead.

In front of a certain window of the two-story building behind him, a tall and thin man was looking at him coldly.

He turned around, just in time to meet the man's eyes.
