dark crossing

The ability to investigate vicious murders is completely incomparable to the luck of blindly guessing the murderer in a TV series.

But Chu Huainan still let out a "huh".

Seeing that he didn't object, Shen Ting enthusiastically said: "Let me help you deal with the case first. The murderer killed a policeman, and even used errands and fast delivery to throw the body on the pedestrian street built by you Far Nantou..."

Chu Huainan served him a bowl of lily and gorgon soup, "Eat first, and talk to me about the case after eating." The eyes hidden behind the gold-rimmed mirror frame, with hooks, are like gold wires trying to tease the viewer Finches poke their pointed beaks out of the cage.

Shen Ting felt that she was pecked by that look, and couldn't help dodging a little.

Chu Huainan's subtext was originally: the restaurant is crowded and not the best place to analyze a murder case.

But Shen Ting, who was sitting across from him, would obviously be wrong.After a short period of hesitation, his eyes moved away from his face dodgingly, but the corners of his lips hooked into a smile: "Hey, let's go to your house?" After only escaping for a moment, the bright eyes looked back again, with some intention Pointing to the ground and blinking: "Mr. Chu is so efficient even when dealing with a partner..."

The ambiguous and frivolous blink did not attract too much attention from Chu Huainan.From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the young man with a flirty and ambiguous face in front of him clenched his fist slightly unnaturally.

Chu Huainan, who was misunderstood, was not in a hurry to explain, but said ambiguously: "I have always been a very efficient person."

For this dinner, both of them were ulterior motives.

Not long after the dishes were served, Shen Ting put down his chopsticks.To be realistic, he even burped a little.

Chu Huainan smiled knowingly, and called the waiter to quickly pay the bill.Standing up, Shen Wen heard to Shen who was still downcast and didn't know what he was thinking: "Let's go."

The other party still sat in the seat and did not move. Instead, he picked up a towel beside him, wiped his hands slowly and heavily, and then raised his head and asked, "We both drank, who is driving?".

Chu Huainan glanced at those clean hands, and said leisurely, "The driver has arrived."

Shen Ting ground her teeth subconsciously, grabbed her coat without any choice, followed behind Chu Huainan, and the two walked out of the restaurant together side by side intimately.

The iron-gray convertible Bentley that Chu Huainan had brought him to the restaurant earlier had already been driven away.Under the street lamp, a black Sprinter with faint light was waiting at the door for a long time.

Between the rear seat and the front row in the car, there is a TV curtain wall with sound and light insulation.The surrounding windows are tightly covered with electric light khaki curtains.

The car is equipped with a pantry and bar.Next to the coffee machine is a pair of simple and elegant bone china cups, and in the hidden wine cabinet is a row of red wine with no discernible year, and next to it is a small built-in car refrigerator.

The privacy and comfort of this nanny car are excellent, and even the conversation between the driver and the owner needs to go through the built-in intercom device in the car.

There's even a safe with a fingerprint lock next to the inconspicuous rear seat.

But to Shen Ting, this well-equipped commercial vehicle is like an airtight iron cage. ——It’s still the kind of cage used in ancient times to hold condemned prisoners to go to Caishikou.

This trip is a dead end, but I still have to pretend that I don't want to leave.

Just when he was laughing so much that even the muscles on his face were about to cramp, the driver in the front row finally got into the owner's seat in the back seat and made a call in the car.

The destination has arrived.

Chu Huainan's residence is located in Tangcheng Binjiang developed by his own group, which is the one facing the river.

There are two households on the first floor of Tangcheng Binjiang, which adopts the design of two elevators and one household.Residents not only do not need to share elevators with neighbors.At the beginning of the design, the developer thoughtfully separated the owner's elevator from the nanny's elevator.

The design of separation of movement and static not only ensures the privacy of the owners, but also greatly satisfies the sense of superiority of "the master and servant are different" who can afford the property here.

Obviously, as the head of Yuannan, Chu Huainan does not need to rely on expensive properties to flaunt his superior material conditions.

The reason why he chose the large flat floor on the top floor of Binjiang, Tangcheng is entirely because this real estate is very close to the headquarters of Far South Group.He lives here most of the weekday.

"Excuse me, what kind of experience is it to be worth more than one billion?" 』

On a well-known question-and-answer platform, there was a post with the title above, which sparked many discussions.The vast majority of the answers below are the lives of the so-called rich people that the people who eat melons have worked hard to lust for.

And there is an answer that is quite close to reality, which reads:

"Thank you for the invitation. My family is rich, and I am barely qualified to answer this question.In fact, rich people also have one mouth and two eyes, just like ordinary people.It's just driving a car worth 700 million yuan and living in a house worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions.When traveling, I will fly first class, and occasionally take a luxury private jet, yacht or something. 』

The accompanying picture is a photo of the steering wheel of Zhang Hao's car.The seven-figure watch on the driver's hand is shining brightly in the sun.

Under this answer, except for a few who expressed "real name envy", there was a lot of bitter ridicule.

"How can someone who is worth a billion dollars have the time to 'know' to show off his superiority?" 』

"Your nails are a bit yellow, how could you be a rich man!Did you move bricks? 』

"Ha ha ha ha!Come and line up!Let's wake him up with piss! 』

"A private jet and yacht?Lord, do you know!Really rich people don't pay attention to these imaginary things!They pay more attention to cost performance!Is it all about saving time by flying a private jet? 』

"People with this wealth never show it off!Look at this photo you posted, hey!Honestly tell me where you stole the picture from! 』

……

In the imagination of the mediocre people, the rich must be busy with their careers all day long, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, have no desires, no vanity, and will not show off their wealth to anyone.In short, there are great Confucian scholars in talking and laughing, and there are no white people in communication. Everyone is a sage.

But the reality is that rich people also have bad roots in being born as human beings.Following the trend and comparing with each other, this trend is especially prevalent in the circle of the rich and powerful.

Just like ordinary people are keen to compare annual salary, electronic equipment, just-needed housing, or whose boyfriend is more handsome and whose girlfriend is more beautiful.The upstarts compare cars, houses, and the number of male and female stars they have won.

The comparison of the rich cannot escape the hundreds or even thousands of times of returns in luxury cars, mansions, yachts, airplanes, or investment reports.

After learning that Chu Huainan himself lives in Tangcheng Binjiang, Tangcheng Binjiang has become the best choice for rich people who like to get together and choose real estate.

A business upstart who just moved in, when chatting with the property manager, said happily with a smile: "I have worked hard for so many years, just to be the owner of this 'Dream Disk'."

Tangcheng Binjiang, which was chosen by a large number of top dignitaries as their long-term residence, naturally occupied the top of the list of luxury houses in Jianghu City for a long time.

The average price per square meter of real estate in Tangcheng Binjiang is as high as hundreds of thousands.Before the house is handed over, the developer will decorate the interior in a unified style according to the decoration standard of [-] per square meter, so that the owner can move in with their bags.

But even if they are already the wealthiest group of people, the rich are still committed to using their financial resources to draw a clear-cut "[-]th line" between themselves and other rich people.

Cunning businessmen are best at using this "self-promotion" mentality shared by all human beings to confuse these target customers with huge wealth and fall into one consumption trap after another.

In Binjiang, Tangcheng, owners of a basic house of [-] to [-] square meters can only choose their favorite design style from a few fixed templates.

In the real estate, all the extra-large units located on the top floor are more than [-] square meters.

In order to please these super owners, the developer will provide additional individual designs according to their preferences when decorating.In order to ensure that all the details of the interior can perfectly meet the aesthetic taste of the owner.

For example, as a close friend and neighbor of Chu Huainan, Lin Youbandi prefers light luxury Hong Kong style.

His house took into account the different aesthetics of Chinese and Western cultures.The whole house is not only modern and fashionable, but also reveals an atmosphere of low-key luxury.

However, Chu Huainan, who looked dignified, was not a fan of luxury style.

Most of his preferred styles are simple and clean, so the decoration style of the residence is also a minimalist style that suits his preferences.

Shen Ting was a little surprised when he entered the door.

In his imagination, the residence of Chu Huainan, who emits hormones all the time, should be a luxurious palace full of resplendent gold and jade and numerous servants.

But the apartment in front of me, although very large, has either black or white colors.The overall gray-toned decoration exudes a coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away.

This "capitalist's lair" is too cold.

If it wasn't for when entering the door, Shen Ting saw a few couriers neatly placed at the door.He even wondered if this place was just a temporary residence for Chu Huainan to "date" with people.

Chu Huainan has never brought anyone home, and even found his slippers.

His parents died early, and his grandfather has also passed away.The old house in the suburbs, which only covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, is now only lived by his grandma, Xu Jingping.

The old lady said that there are few people living in the old house, so there is no need for so many people.So he appointed the most caring Aunt Zhao to help him with housework and daily life.

This Aunt Zhao has been serving the Chu family since she was in her thirties.She is now over half a hundred years old, and she is the confidant of the old lady of the Chu family.Aunt Zhao also had several middle-aged aunts with quick hands and feet and strict mouths.

But compared to having outsiders at home, Chu Huainan prefers to be alone.

Therefore, Aunt Zhao and her "subordinates", who were sent by Xu Jingping to be full-time nanny, automatically became "part-time workers" based on their appearance.

Aunt Zhao has worked in the old house for more than 20 years, and has a lot of experience in how to cater to the living habits of the Chu family.In the first cabinet that he opened casually, Chu Huainan found the pairs of unopened guest slippers that she had prepared earlier.

Shen Ting changed her shoes and followed Chu Huainan into the house.

In the most conspicuous position of the living room, there is a four-seater couch against the wall.Shen Ting didn't want to sit with Chu Huainan, so he naturally walked to the single sofa on the far left.

Chu Huainan handed him a cup of warm water: "I won't invite you to drink tea at night, for fear of affecting sleep."

Perhaps it was because the interior was brightly lit.

In the dimly lit car, Chu Huainan was exuding masculine attraction, as if he was ready to invite him to do something together at any time.At this moment, he was so dignified that he was almost abstinent.

From entering the door until now, Chu Huainan only took off his coat, and didn't even unbutton the collar of his shirt.

The dark shirt, which had been worn all day but still had few folds, had a romantic button-down collar, and probably had a custom-made concealed button at the end.

The collar points on both sides hang rigorously in the slightly concave collarbone socket, and a light silver-gray tie is tied in the middle of the collar—and a half-Windsor knot in a regular triangle is also tied.

After handing him the water, Chu Huainan disappeared for a few minutes.When I came back, I had an extra thin and light laptop in my hand.

Shen Ting had noticed the footsteps a long time ago, but deliberately didn't raise his head, holding the water glass with lowered eyes, and pretended to take a sip.

When he lowered his head to drink water, he clasped his thumb on the cup, unconsciously caressing the smooth handle.

Chu Huainan saw that the two very plump lips were lightly holding the rim of the cup, and they only touched the surface of the water lightly.

From his point of view, the young man who always deliberately acted like a prodigal son, with deep thoughts, was actually a little pitifully well-behaved.

The evil thoughts in my heart that were finally calmed down suddenly intensified.

Chu Huainan sat silently on the left side of the couch, and sat down in a seat closest to Shen Ting.

For this young man, although he was thirsty, he knew that he should not act too hastily.

Sitting here, the two of them will not be too far apart, but they can still maintain a small distance that is reassuring.In this way, this little villain who claims to be "experienced in same-sex relationships", but swallows his saliva silently and silently all the way here will not be scared away.

Shen Ting, who sat very cautiously on the only single sofa in the room, only raised his eyes when Chu Huainan approached.

The capitalist who was suspected of "hands-on" in the car just now smiled very gentlemanly at the moment: "I took you home because I felt that discussing the murder in public would not be very friendly to the audience who had dinner together."

Putting the computer in his hand on the coffee table, he added: "It's not very moral to discuss information that even the police have not yet grasped openly."

Does the male vixen know morality?Shen Ting glanced at him suspiciously.

The capitalist who speaks righteously, with a really serious expression, pressed the start button of the laptop: "You continue to analyze, let me also see your intuition."

After confirming that the other party had no other intentions, Shen Ting breathed a sigh of relief, but sighed regretfully: "Just chatting?" Shrugged, spread his hands, and said: "It's really boring."

This little bastard, how dare he act good when he gets cheap?

Chu Huainan, who was staring at the screen, gave Shen Ting loudly to "Zip Cannon", and cast a deep glance, "I want to have a serious and long-term relationship with you, and I also hope that after we get to know each other better, further contact."

The capitalists just speak differently, and even the threats are very euphemistic, "But if you think the progress is too slow, of course I don't mind... develop faster."
