Reading Agreement

After buying the tickets for the next day, the two left the train station, wandered around, and found a hotel to pass the night by the way.

There is a small town outside the train station, it must be deserted inside, but the outside is very busy with people coming and going.Both sides of the street are full of stalls, leaving only a narrow path for pedestrians to pass.The street stalls sell everything, including food and clothing. The vendors turn on their horns to the loudest, and the sound of hawking is one after another on the long street.

At this time, the rain had stopped, the ground was wet and sticky, and the air was filled with a delicious smell of frying oil. The heat lingered in one food stall after another.

Walking in the bustling street, looking at the many delicacies and stalls of various flavors, Shi Zhen suddenly remembered that it was such a lively scene when he and Gao Yang went to the ancient town to investigate cases, so he tasted all kinds of delicious food with the little fox out of interest. Xiao Shi, this situation and this scene are just a little similar, but it makes him miss that little pet.

Extremely disgusting!Shi Zhen doesn't like to be entangled, and doesn't want the fox to control his thoughts, but he can't help but recall his cute and dumb expression sometimes.

Suddenly, a familiar scent wafted to his nose. Shi Zhen turned his head and saw a stinky tofu stand on the side, so he stopped and bought a box without hesitation, adding hot sauce and sweet noodle sauce.

"Do you like this?" Luo Nie, who was following on the side, pinched his nose, feeling a little disgusted, and saw two kinds of sauces, and complained: "Your way of eating is so strange."

Shi Zhen didn't bother to talk to him, and walked forward while eating.After eating a piece of stinky tofu, I didn't think it was very delicious, nor did I feel that it was very enjoyable. Anyway, it seemed that the little fox was not around, and it didn't taste very good.Extremely disgusting!He was a little annoyed, and the silly expression of that little fox passed before his eyes again.

"Where are we going now?" Luo Nie bought a bowl of skewers and followed behind Shi Zhen, looking around warily.

"What do you recommend?" Shi Zhen asked lightly.

"Me?" Luo Nie was taken aback, then shook his head: "No."

Shi Zhen stopped walking, looked back at Luo Nie, and said lightly: "Since it is agreed that I will send you back to Luo's house, for the sake of safety, it is best not to hide things that may be unfavorable to you."

Luo Nie blinked and asked, "For example?"

Throwing away the stinky tofu that didn't suit his taste, Shi Zhen replied: "For example, from the time your toes stepped onto the land of Gekou, your nerves have never been relaxed, and your whole body is in a state of extreme alertness. What is the relationship between you and Gekou?" What is the origin? Is this closely related to your safety? It is best to report in advance if there is a problem, so don’t stumble in this small place.”

"...haha" Luo Nie was noncommittal holding the skewers, with an expression on his face that he didn't want to answer.

"That's fine, it's fine if you don't say anything." Shi Zhen sped up his pace a little, and moved quickly on the trail: "I'll just pretend that the song has nothing to do with you, and I won't be extremely vigilant. , and it has nothing to do with me."

"No..." Luo Nie had no choice but to quicken his pace and walked to Shi Zhen's side, and said in a low voice: "There are some acquaintances here, it's embarrassing."

Shi Zhen sneered: "Oh, I see, you used to set up a stall here."

Luo Nie: "...If you want to understand like this, I can't help it."

"Understood." Shi Zhen said casually.

"Just be happy." Luo Nie didn't want to explain any more, and followed Shi Zhen all the way to the traffic lights.

"Where do you want to stay at night? You know this place well." While waiting for the red light, Shi Zhen asked Luo Nie for his suggestion.

"I don't know about this," Luo Nie spread his hands, mockingly said: "I'm just a trainer, I'm not qualified to stay in a hotel, and my family situation doesn't allow it."

"Oh. Then I chose." Shi Zhen calmed down, took out his mobile phone, quickly located, placed an order to book a hotel, and called a car. The whole process took no more than 5 minutes.

"You can do whatever you want." Luo Nie looked around, the whole process was not easy.

Shi Zhen looked at the phone and said, "Okay, I've ordered "Gekou Yilan". It's a 20-minute drive. I can bear it. Can you?"

"I'm fine." Luo Nie didn't want to disobey the other party, and indeed he didn't have a good recommendation, so he had to accept his fate.

Ten minutes later, the taxi called by Shi Zhen also arrived. The two got in the car and sat one behind the other, neither talking nor having anything to say.

The taxi driver is a middle-aged man in his 50s. Looking at the passengers in the back seat from the rearview mirror, he only sees a head looking down at the mobile phone. Start the car and drive to the hotel.

On the way, the driver tried to strike up a conversation with Shi Zhen, who was in the co-pilot seat, but unfortunately, the guest was colder than this weather, and the conversation was quite boring, so the driver gave up and drove quietly for 20 minutes to the hotel Door drop-off area.

After the two guests got out of the car, the driver wanted to look at the guests in the back seat again, but the other party walked in a hurry, leaving only a young figure behind. He entered the hotel in a hurry and was no longer seen.

"It's kind of like..." the driver murmured softly, started the car and drove away without much entanglement.

Gekou Yilan is a newly built super five-star hotel in the local area. It is a super high-rise building that stands out from the crowd. It has a streamlined design and is covered with glass curtain walls. It is particularly eye-catching in the bustling business center of Gekou.

Shi Zhen and Luo Nie entered the hotel, the marble floor under their feet was inlaid with gold threads, several huge crystal chandeliers above their heads were shining brightly, and the whole lobby was immersed in a kind of brightness that flickered so hard to open their eyes.

"How much is it for one night?" Luo Nie looked around, curious and gossiping.

"7200 per night, suite." Shi Zhen replied indifferently, and walked towards a service desk far away.The lobby is so spacious, it feels like everything is thousands of miles away, walking, walking, it's a bit annoying.

"7200? It's so expensive, you've really spent your money." Luo Nie grinned.

"Tomorrow, you have to have a meeting with me first, and then I will send you to Luo's house. I just received the news that the meeting has been brought forward." Shi Zhen looked up at the phone screen and said.

"Oh." Luo Niedi had no objection.

At this time, the two finally walked to the service desk and began to check in.Shi Zhen took out his ID card, and said to Luo Nie, "Your ID card."

"Here." Luo Nie put the ID card on the ground, leaned on the marble table at the front desk, and asked the waiter with a smile: "Sister, is 7200 a bed?"

The waitress smiled and replied: "No, big suite, two rooms, two beds."

"Oh." Ronie nodded and smiled, showing a row of neat teeth.

"This is your room card." The waiter handed over the card: "Please go to the left for the elevator."

"Thank you." Shi Zhen took the room card and went to the elevator.

"How much did you charge the Luo family for this contract? It's not a lot of money. The room of 7200 can be booked at will." Luo Nie followed Shi Zhen into the elevator, still full of curiosity and gossip, as if he had endless questions. topic.

"You are worried that the taxi driver will recognize you, but you are not worried that the hotel staff will recognize you. What kind of routine is this?" Shi Zhen pressed the button on the eleventh floor, and a word hit.

"Hehe." Luo Nie grinned, with the corners of his mouth raised, with the cuteness of a little boy: "When I came in, I took a closer look. They were all unfamiliar faces. I didn't recognize any of them, so I naturally relaxed.".

"Oh." Shi Zhen didn't believe it, and didn't bother to expose it. He just raised his eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions.

"Why do you think it is?" Luo Nie was unwilling to let go, and asked in front of Shi Zhen, his eyes were twinkling, full of sparkling light.

"Is this important?" Shi Zhen disdainfully.When the elevator reached the eleventh floor, there was a ding sound, and the elevator door opened, revealing a large lobby.Shi Zhen glanced outside, pushed Luo Nie away, and went straight out.

"Can't you just guess?" Luo Nie followed Shi Zhen endlessly. The man who was brought to escort him showed displeasure from the beginning to the end. If this is the case, why did he agree to escort him?

"Why do you talk so much nonsense when you enter the hotel?" Shi Zhen was impatient.

Luo Nie was still chattering: "How about I tell you the answer directly."

"I don't want to hear it." Shi Zhen was impatient. When he arrived at 1109, he swiped open the door and walked in.

"You..." Luo Nie reacted a little slower and didn't keep up with Shi Zhen's pace. As a result, the door closed in front of him, and it closed... Luo Nie was stunned for a moment, and without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and began to press the doorbell frantically. The music barely stopped.

"Come in." Shi Zhen opened the door two seconds later, with no expression on his face, watching Luo Nie walk in briskly.In the next second, he heard Luo Nie's endless beeping.

"Wow... 7200 has a living room... The sofa is so soft... Can you eat everything in the refrigerator?...Wow, there are really two rooms!... Hey, the bathtub in the toilet is It can be massaged...it's so hot!" Luo Nie suddenly came out of the toilet, with a surprised look on his face: "Can I lie in the bathtub, drink champagne, and watch movies?"

"Yes." Shi Zhen threw the briefcase aside, loosened his tie, and went to the French window to enjoy the scenery.

"Can I order something to eat?" Luo Nie asked again, flipping through the menus: "Do you have to pay extra?"

"If you want to eat, just call." Shi Zhen opened the curtains, the sky cleared up, and there was a lot of sunlight shining in. Unprepared, he dazzled.

Looking from the eleventh floor, without tall buildings, the small town can be seen almost at a glance.There are densely packed houses far and near, winding and long roads, and two large mirror-like lakes, all laid out layer by layer toward the horizon.

"What do you want to eat?" Luo Nie found an exquisite menu from the drawer of the coffee table, and asked while flipping through it, "Do you want spicy food? Do you want dessert? How about a bowl of noodles?"

Dessert?Shi Zhen frowned slightly, and the voice of the little fox flashed in his mind again, this little pet is not easy to feed, every time he was asked to eat something, he would whimper, as if afraid of being poisoned by others.

"Eat?" Ronie asked again.

"Don't eat." Shi Zhen refused, looking downstairs from a distance, the road was full of traffic and there was a bit of a traffic jam.He turned his back to the living room, and suddenly said in a somewhat cold tone: "All the activities today are in this hotel, try not to go out. Go to the train station early tomorrow to wait for the train, don't delay."

"What's wrong?" Luo Nie stood up from the sofa, walked to the seat by the window, and followed Shi Zhen's gaze.His eyesight was excellent, and he also recognized the dozen or so figures downstairs gathered at the door, so familiar, it made his scalp tingle.

"Nineteen, that's a lot of people." Shi Zhen looked at him with a neutral expression.

Luo Nie swallowed, hesitated and said: "Well...do you want to listen to my explanation of our current situation?"

"No." Shi Zhen refused, left the window, glanced at the menu on the table, and said coldly: "Call me a cup of coffee, latte, no sugar, hot." After finishing speaking, he went directly to the room he had chosen go.

"Wait, wait!" Luo Nie ran over and stood in front of Shi Zhen. If it wasn't for Shi Zhen's quick steps, he would almost bump into him.

"Why?" Shi Zhen said impatiently with a bit of displeasure on his face, "I know this hotel is your sanctuary, and people outside dare not come in. Now, as long as you don't go out, at least until we go out tomorrow, you It's absolutely safe." After speaking, he pushed Ronie away and continued to the room.

"Wait a minute," Luo Nie blocked Shi Zhen again, ignoring the other's unhappy face, and quickly asked: "Then what should we do when we go out tomorrow?"

Shi Zhen disdained: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Luo Nie: "..." I was even more worried.

"This hotel has a lot of indoor entertainment facilities, such as swimming pools, shopping malls, food, etc... Don't stay in the room stupidly, go and play." Shi Zhen sent Luo Nie out to play, so that he could be quiet for a while.

"Aren't you worried about them coming in?" Luo Nie blinked, very annoying.

Shi Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly who is running the business, but it's not just an ordinary high-rise building that can build a super high-rise building in such a small town. This person's means and background cannot be underestimated."

"Cut. Your eyes are really not ordinary poison." Luo Nie blinked and said suddenly, "If there is no shelter here, and the outside is surrounded by layers, will you give up on me? Even if there is an agreement with the Luo family , can't let you take risks?"

"Don't be delusional." Shi Zhen looked into Luo Nie's eyes indifferently and said, "Since I have agreed to the Luo family first, I will take you home safely, so you can rest assured."

"I'm afraid it's easy to come in, but difficult to get out." Luo Nie curled his lips to show his lack of confidence, but his tone was not heavy, and there was a bit of banter, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, which had little to do with him.

"Okay, I'll confirm it now." Shi Zhen said suddenly.

"What?" Ronie blinked.

"If it comes to the step of doing it, you don't care about those people, do you?" Shi Zhen asked coldly, "It means that I can deal with them as I like, right?"

Luo Nie was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Anything you want."

"Okay. That's easy." Shi Zhen twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he had got an answer that he was quite satisfied with, so he didn't enter the room, turned and left, and walked out the door.

Luo Nie didn't know why, so he followed up and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go get a cup of coffee, you don't have to call for me." Shi Zhen raised his hand and glanced at his watch, it was only two o'clock, and his colleagues should have arrived at their destination, why didn't they even reply a message.

"Are you really assured that I'm alone in the room? Or, go out and wander alone?" Luo Nie really admired Shi Zhen's big heart, and said he didn't care.

Shi Zhen sneered and said, "I've said it all, outsiders don't dare to come in and cause trouble. Since it's absolutely safe here, let's do our own thing and give each other some peace."

"What if something happens?" Luo Nie blinked and asked reluctantly.

"Collect the corpse for you." Shi Zhen replied directly, bypassing Luo Nie, walked to the door, and opened the door directly to go out.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, a cold smile appeared on Luo Nie's face, as if he saw a very interesting toy: "..." I really want to kill him, but unfortunately, I can't mess around.
