After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld
Chapter 14 Alley East Bar
There are not many dishes to choose from in the coffee shop. They are all spaghetti and steaks.Chen Xiaoling took a few photos in a row and sent them to Moments, with the text [This store is of average level, fortunately there is a handsome guy who came to chat with me~(love)(love)]
After a while, she added another comment [Don't get me wrong, we are just friends (love)]
Lu Yingjiu was cutting the steak, inexplicably feeling that the atmosphere on the table was a bit weird.He glanced at Chen Xiaoling, then at Jingxian, both of them seemed to be concentrating on eating, nothing special.
Is it an illusion?
Lu Ying took a sip of water, and before he put down the glass in his hand, he saw the two men staring at the glass.
Lu Yingjiu:?
He suddenly felt that the thing in his hand was like a ticking time bomb, and it didn't matter if he continued to drink it or put it down.
He hesitated for half a second, and just as he put it down, he saw the hands of the two people stretch out at the same time!
Jing Xian was obviously faster than Chen Xiaoling, and took the glass away: "I'll fill you with water."
Lu Yingjiu:? ? ?
Full of doubts, he watched Jing Xian get up, fill up the lemonade like a newly victorious lion patrolling the territory, and put it in front of him with a bewildered smile.
Lu Yingjiu: "Thank you?"
Jing Xian: "You're welcome."
Lu Yingjiu continued to bury her head in cutting the steak, thinking that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.Is it because these two people don't know each other, so they are embarrassed?But it doesn't look like...
He is not good at handling this kind of situation, and he knows the basic rule of "if you can't speak, don't speak at all", so he kept silent, and then was added water twice by Jing Xian in the silence.Chen Xiaoling had a false smile on her face, and her eyelashes that stood upright after wiping off mascara trembled uncontrollably.
A meal ended in a weird atmosphere.
Chen Xiaoling still has something to do in the afternoon, so she is in a hurry to leave.
Standing at the door of the coffee shop, she took a deep breath and said, "Xiaolu, come out to see my sister for dinner next time when I have time, let's chat alone." Gouged out his eyes and Jing Xian walked away stomping on his high heels.
As soon as Chen Xiaoling left, the atmosphere suddenly became normal.
According to the phone number given by Chen Xiaoling, Lu Yingjiu tried to call Jin Xiaoyang's cell phone.
The phone is off.
He said: "Let's go to Jin Xiaoyang's home first, at least to ensure his safety."
"En." Jing Xian responded.
The two got into the car and drove to the National Treasure Garden.Jingxian was still driving fiercely. The second-hand Honda shuttled through the traffic, overtaking all the way without delay.Lu Yingjiu got used to it a little this time, lowered the seat and began to catch up on sleep.
After he was half asleep and half asleep for more than ten minutes, the car stopped.
Outside is the National Treasure Garden, which is also an old community, and the outer walls of the buildings are dilapidated.
Taking the old elevator, they found the 5th floor of Building 12.
Jin Xiaoyang lives in 12B, and the door he mentioned is 12A, which is the residence of the old lady.
Jing Xian stood in front of Jin Xiaoyang's house and rang the doorbell several times, but no one came to answer the door.The waiters in the bar are always upside down day and night, Jin Xiaoyang doesn't know if he is catching up on sleep or not at home.
Lu Yingjiu stood in front of door 12A.There was a slight sound from behind the door, someone was walking, he stretched out his hand and pushed gently——
The door opened slowly, it turned out to be ajar.
Behind the door, standing in the middle of the living room was a man, about 50 to [-] years old, with a round figure and face, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.Everything in the house was turned upside down, all the drawers were pulled open, the sofa cushions were thrown on the floor, the dishes were broken by the table, the carpet was curled up in a corner, the wardrobe was open, and it was full of flimsy flowered shirts... It was the scene of a burglary, with a vicious gangster attached.
The "gangster" was taken aback when he saw Lu Yingjiu, and his tone was astonished: "It's you?"
Lu Yingjiu also felt that this face looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that the person in front of him was Chen Qi, the younger brother of Chen Zheng, the president of the Blue Lantern Society, and he had met him two or three times before.
Chen Qi is not from the club, he has been taking care of the Chen family.In Lu Yingjiu's impression, he was not as shrewd and capable as Chen Zheng, but rather honest, he greeted everyone with a smile, and he spoke with a unique middle-aged official accent.
Did not expect to meet here.
Lu Yingjiu asked, "Are you exorcising ghosts?"
"Oh yes," Chen Qi wiped the sweat off his face with the back of his hand, "It took us a long time to catch it."
He was holding a large handful of talisman papers in his hand, and his back was covered with sweat, which must have been left behind by hunting down the old lady.
Chen Qi added: "You came here for ghosts too? It's a pity that you came a step late, and I chased you away first hahaha." He laughed a few times, and poked his head into the corridor again: "You came with your friends ?”
"En." Seeing that Jing Xian couldn't knock on the door, Lu Yingjiu shouted, "Jing Xian, come here first."
Jing Xian entered the room, and the two introduced him briefly.
Another ghost exorcist poked out of the back room, and was a little dazed seeing them.
Chen Qi said: "It's okay, I just ran into a friend." He pointed to Lu Yingjiu and praised, "Do you know this one? The famous exorcist Lu Yingjiu, who can be the chief of the Blue Lantern Festival at the age of 19, He is the only one. Each of you should be half as powerful as him, and you are not afraid of others gossiping outside, saying that our Chen family is declining day by day."
The exorcist nodded nonchalantly towards the road, not knowing what to say, his eyes wandered.Chen Qi waved again: "Okay, go get busy, finish posting those two sets of charms, and I'll chat with my friends."
The ghost exorcist went back to the back room, rustling the talisman paper, ready to purify the yin energy.
Chen Qi wiped his sweat and sat on the bay window: "Let me tell you, I have never seen such an old lady who can run like a rabbit, and it is difficult to chase after letting the dog go out. I killed three people, one was guarding downstairs, and two followed me. The result was good. The two boys followed the old lady in the stairwell on the 29th floor. They ran around, maybe up and down, three or four times. Come back and forth, now they are all lying on their stomachs in the car. Why do you think this young man has such poor physical strength?"
Lu Yingjiu smiled and said, "Then you have good physical strength."
"No, no," Chen Qi waved his hands again and again, and smiled awkwardly, the flesh on his cheek squeezed his eyes into slits, "I stopped after running two floors, and let them chase after me. I haven't made a commission for several years, today is the Thinking about going out for a walk, who would have encountered such a troublesome thing. Hey, do you know what is going on with the person at the opposite door? I heard that he is still posting on the forum. "
"We can't get in touch." Lu Yingjiu replied simply.
"This is troublesome, and so are we." Chen Qi frowned, "If he was frightened just now, it would be easy to recruit ghosts when he goes out. He seems to work in some bar. I'll send someone to find him later and stuff him A few tips to ward off evil spirits."
It seems that this commission has ended before it even started.
After all, it is one of the aristocratic families, and there is someone from the Chen family, who is an old hand like Chen Qi, so it is definitely no problem to exorcise ghosts.
For the next 5 minutes, Chen Qi carefully pasted the talisman papers in his hand on the four corners of all the windows, covering doorknobs, table corners and sofa legs by the way—he was obviously clumsy when he squatted down, his legs were numb, and his old He couldn't stand up for a long time, so Jing Xian went over and pulled him up.
Jing Xian had great strength, and Chen Qi, who weighed almost 90 kilograms, was easily lifted up by him.
Chen Qi also praised: "Young man, you usually practice a lot, right? Which family's ghost exorcist are you?"
Jing Xian smiled: "I'm from Lu Yingjiu's family."
Chen Qi was stunned for half a second: "Oh, it's Xiaolu's office, right? It's a good idea. Sure enough, outstanding young people are attracted to each other. I'm ashamed of myself as a former wave." He wiped his hand with the back of his hand again Wiping off his sweat, he looked around the room, the talisman was almost pasted up, "It's rare for us to see each other, do you want to find a place nearby for tea?"
Lu Yingjiu wanted to refuse.
If it is not necessary, he doesn't like to deal with unfamiliar people, not to mention that the other party is about two rounds older than him. There must be no common topics when drinking tea, and it will eventually develop into awkward chats and awkward laughs.
But Chen Qi is an old fritter after all, and seemed to have sensed his intention to refuse, so he moved closer and whispered to him: "Since we just met, I have something to tell you."
Lu Yingjiu raised an eyebrow.
Chen Qi continued to whisper: "My brother... President Chen, didn't he say he was investigating you?"
"investigation".
Of course Lu Yingjiu remembered this word.
When Chen Zheng wanted him to step down as chief and transfer to another branch, he used the excuse of "investigating violations of discipline".As the person being investigated, he has never been aware of the specific situation, nor does he know where the current investigation procedure has come.
Lu Yingjiu joined the Blue Lantern Festival at the age of 16, became the chief executive at the age of 19, and resigned at the age of 26. It has been 10 years since she exorcised ghosts.After so long, even a saint can't say that he hasn't made any mistakes.Chen Zheng single-handedly promoted him, trying to find out a mistake from the past files, it is not too simple.
Chen Qi asked: "How did my brother tell you, do you know exactly which entrustment you were investigated for?"
"I don't know." Lu Yingjiu shook his head, "I have no right to know."
Chen Qi glanced into the back room, making sure that the ghost exorcist couldn't hear him, and then whispered: "I also heard a little bit of rumors, Xiaolu, you seem to be in serious trouble this time. I always appreciate it. Yours, therefore, wants to help you a little bit. Look, how about we go get some tea?"
Putting it on someone else, he should be extremely grateful, wishing to make a pot of good tea for Chen Qi now, and chat for a long time.
Lu Yingjiu said, "No need."
Chen Qi was taken aback.
Lu Yingjiu smiled: "I have a clear conscience, it has been the same for the past ten years, and it will be the same for the future."
"..." Chen Qi was speechless for a moment.
Lu Yingjiu's eyes that were as bright as a knife's light made his thousands of words stuck in his throat.
In just this second, he realized that this is a magnanimity that cannot be shaken even if the world is turned upside down.
Lu Yingjiu said: "We won't bother you any more." He greeted, "Jing Xian, let's go first."
Jing Xian responded and followed his leaving footsteps.
I still took the old elevator downstairs, and when I got downstairs, the sun was shining brightly.
The light was a bit harsh, and Lu Yingjiu subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
There was another "ding" from the elevator behind him, and it turned out that Chen Qi hurried to catch up.
He gasped and said, "Well, I thought about it, even if it's not convenient to drink tea, I have something for you." He pressed the car key, and not far away, there was an empty black Bentley with the trunk opened.
Chen Qi went over and took out a heavy book from inside.The book was brand new, the packaging film was still there, the whole body was pitch black and there was no title.
Chen Qi said: "This is the illustrated book of ghosts and ghosts that the Chen family has just revised. It hasn't been officially printed yet. I only have one or two copies on hand. You can take it and have a look. Just the category entries have increased by 79 and there are many pictures. It's all my choice."
"...Thank you." Lu Yingjiu did not refuse this time, and took the brick-like book.
Jing Xian who was beside him suddenly put his arms around his shoulders and put the belt in his arms.
This action was a bit abrupt and too intimate, just as Lu Yingjiu was about to speak——
boom! ! !
The three turned their heads.
Thirty meters away, the roof of a gray Jetta was smashed flat, countless fragments of glass flew out, reflected the sharp light in the sun, sprinkled half of Jing Xian and Chen Qi's bodies, and pricked several hands on their hands. Road bloodstains.Because Lu Yingjiu was protected by Jing Xian, he was fine, but he had no time to pay attention to this detail.
The roof of the Jetta is a corpse.
The blood flowed out in large swaths, gathered in the hollow of the roof, and flowed down his hand from the fingertips to the ground, bright red.
...I should know this guy.
Lu Yingjiu thought.
It took two seconds for the memory to become clear: this is Jin Xiaoyang.
Today Chen Xiaoling showed them his photo.
They all looked up instinctively, and saw that the windows on the 12th floor were wide open, and the beige lattice curtains were blown by the wind and fluttered outside the building.
……
The sound of police sirens pierced the sky, and the lights kept flashing.
Lu Yingjiu was standing by the side of the road, his eyes were lowered, no emotion could be seen on his face.After nightfall, the wind picked up a bit, raising his black hair and his thin white shirt.
He subconsciously rubbed the longevity lock.
He, Jing Xian, Chen Qi, and the exorcist in the room all took notes.
Afterwards, the ghost exorcists of the Chen family also went to Jin Xiaoyang's room to search, but found nothing unusual, and it must have been a simple suicide.
There were no traces of ghosts, so the members of the Chen family didn't intend to continue the investigation.
It was the evening rush hour, and the vehicles gathered on the road to form a sea of lights, and the sound of horns kept coming and going, and all the roads on the navigation map were red.Many people who eat melons try to look at them, wanting to see what happened.Jing Xian stood beside him: "It's getting late, let's go eat."
Lu Yingjiu said: "When you knocked on the door, was there no movement in the room?"
"Well," Jing Xian replied, "I'm sure."
"At that time, Jin Xiaoyang was at home." Lu Yingjiu murmured, "But why? Was it because of a ghost encounter..."
Perhaps only Jin Xiaoyang himself can answer this question.Lu Yingjiu was silent for two or three seconds, then suddenly asked: "At that time, why did you take me into your arms?"
The strength that Jing Xian showed before did not match this kind of reaction at all.
Jing Xian said: "My intuition for danger is very accurate, it can be regarded as innate."
A very well-behaved explanation, there is nothing wrong with it.
Lu Yingjiu tilted his head.
Jing Xian was half a head taller than him, he raised his gaze slightly, and met Jing Xian's gaze.Jing Xian's eyebrows are deep and handsome. At this time, street lamps and car lights hit his face alternately, carving out sharp lines. If you take a photo casually, you can use it as a poster for any literary movie.
This light is dim and gentle, and at the same time conceals the aggression in his appearance...or in other words, his expression in front of Lu Yingjiu is always extraordinarily relaxed, even soft, as if carefully hiding his minions .
The eye contact lasted only half a second, and the expressions on both sides were impeccable. Then Lu Yingjiu smiled lightly and quickly, "Oh, that's how it is. It's good. Thank you."
Jing Xian asked: "Would you like to visit the Lane East Bar again?"
"That's exactly what I meant." Lu Yingjiu said, "Let's go, let me drive instead. Are your hands okay now?"
The shards of glass scratched Jing Xian and Chen Qi, the wound was not deep, Jing Xian simply wrapped some gauze around his forearm.
"It's okay," Jing Xian said, "I like driving."
Lu Yingjiu: "...I can see it."
So their Honda SUV went on the road again, the traffic was so congested that even Jing Xian couldn't overtake this time, so he had to wait for the traffic lights in a respectful manner.
Just like this while walking and blocking, it took 15 minutes for a 40-minute drive before they returned to the entrance of the Lane East Bar.
When they went there in the morning, they saw the piano and guitar in the middle of the bar, and thought it was a literary and artistic establishment. Unexpectedly, the whole painting style changed at night, and deafening music came from inside.And it seems that it is not so easy to get in.
Two burly men in black clothes stood at the entrance of the bar, with their arms crossed, and stopped them: "What are you here for? Are you a member here?!"
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
This is a gay place, he and Jing Xian happened to come here alone, how could it be possible that they didn't know what the best excuse was?He is not the kind of person who can't lie at all. To be honest, he has deceived many people, including but not limited to poor Xiao Li.
It's just that at this moment, the former chief of the Green Lantern Club, who has seen all kinds of wind and waves, experienced a lot, is very rare... for a moment of embarrassment.
He really has never encountered a scene where he needs to pretend to be gay.
Especially near the door, there are two men groping together lingeringly, with their clothes open, wishing to have a sex on the spot.
Even so, two seconds later, under the increasingly suspicious eyes of the big man, Lu Yingjiu had already put away all his emotions.He knew that he looked too obedient on the outside and was out of place here, so he bent his peach blossom eyes: "Come here..."
Come here just to drink and have fun.
Before he finished speaking, he was pushed into his arms by Jing Xian.
Jing Xian had a handsome face that both men and gods were angry with, and his tone was extremely arrogant: "Nonsense, come here to be a man, get the hell out of me." After saying that, he rubbed Lu Yingjiu's head, looking like a cynical second-generation ancestor, She raised her eyebrows and said, "This is my daughter-in-law, isn't she pretty? Are you envious?"
Two big men: "..."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
The big man Qiqi took two steps back, afraid that Jing Xian would be the one who would do it to him in the next second.As the "target to be fucked", Lu Yingjiu was carried in by Jing Xian with a blank expression.
The author has something to say:
Others: Speak the truth after drinking
Jing Xian: Speak the truth at any time, the acting skills are not distracted at all hahaha
After a while, she added another comment [Don't get me wrong, we are just friends (love)]
Lu Yingjiu was cutting the steak, inexplicably feeling that the atmosphere on the table was a bit weird.He glanced at Chen Xiaoling, then at Jingxian, both of them seemed to be concentrating on eating, nothing special.
Is it an illusion?
Lu Ying took a sip of water, and before he put down the glass in his hand, he saw the two men staring at the glass.
Lu Yingjiu:?
He suddenly felt that the thing in his hand was like a ticking time bomb, and it didn't matter if he continued to drink it or put it down.
He hesitated for half a second, and just as he put it down, he saw the hands of the two people stretch out at the same time!
Jing Xian was obviously faster than Chen Xiaoling, and took the glass away: "I'll fill you with water."
Lu Yingjiu:? ? ?
Full of doubts, he watched Jing Xian get up, fill up the lemonade like a newly victorious lion patrolling the territory, and put it in front of him with a bewildered smile.
Lu Yingjiu: "Thank you?"
Jing Xian: "You're welcome."
Lu Yingjiu continued to bury her head in cutting the steak, thinking that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.Is it because these two people don't know each other, so they are embarrassed?But it doesn't look like...
He is not good at handling this kind of situation, and he knows the basic rule of "if you can't speak, don't speak at all", so he kept silent, and then was added water twice by Jing Xian in the silence.Chen Xiaoling had a false smile on her face, and her eyelashes that stood upright after wiping off mascara trembled uncontrollably.
A meal ended in a weird atmosphere.
Chen Xiaoling still has something to do in the afternoon, so she is in a hurry to leave.
Standing at the door of the coffee shop, she took a deep breath and said, "Xiaolu, come out to see my sister for dinner next time when I have time, let's chat alone." Gouged out his eyes and Jing Xian walked away stomping on his high heels.
As soon as Chen Xiaoling left, the atmosphere suddenly became normal.
According to the phone number given by Chen Xiaoling, Lu Yingjiu tried to call Jin Xiaoyang's cell phone.
The phone is off.
He said: "Let's go to Jin Xiaoyang's home first, at least to ensure his safety."
"En." Jing Xian responded.
The two got into the car and drove to the National Treasure Garden.Jingxian was still driving fiercely. The second-hand Honda shuttled through the traffic, overtaking all the way without delay.Lu Yingjiu got used to it a little this time, lowered the seat and began to catch up on sleep.
After he was half asleep and half asleep for more than ten minutes, the car stopped.
Outside is the National Treasure Garden, which is also an old community, and the outer walls of the buildings are dilapidated.
Taking the old elevator, they found the 5th floor of Building 12.
Jin Xiaoyang lives in 12B, and the door he mentioned is 12A, which is the residence of the old lady.
Jing Xian stood in front of Jin Xiaoyang's house and rang the doorbell several times, but no one came to answer the door.The waiters in the bar are always upside down day and night, Jin Xiaoyang doesn't know if he is catching up on sleep or not at home.
Lu Yingjiu stood in front of door 12A.There was a slight sound from behind the door, someone was walking, he stretched out his hand and pushed gently——
The door opened slowly, it turned out to be ajar.
Behind the door, standing in the middle of the living room was a man, about 50 to [-] years old, with a round figure and face, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.Everything in the house was turned upside down, all the drawers were pulled open, the sofa cushions were thrown on the floor, the dishes were broken by the table, the carpet was curled up in a corner, the wardrobe was open, and it was full of flimsy flowered shirts... It was the scene of a burglary, with a vicious gangster attached.
The "gangster" was taken aback when he saw Lu Yingjiu, and his tone was astonished: "It's you?"
Lu Yingjiu also felt that this face looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that the person in front of him was Chen Qi, the younger brother of Chen Zheng, the president of the Blue Lantern Society, and he had met him two or three times before.
Chen Qi is not from the club, he has been taking care of the Chen family.In Lu Yingjiu's impression, he was not as shrewd and capable as Chen Zheng, but rather honest, he greeted everyone with a smile, and he spoke with a unique middle-aged official accent.
Did not expect to meet here.
Lu Yingjiu asked, "Are you exorcising ghosts?"
"Oh yes," Chen Qi wiped the sweat off his face with the back of his hand, "It took us a long time to catch it."
He was holding a large handful of talisman papers in his hand, and his back was covered with sweat, which must have been left behind by hunting down the old lady.
Chen Qi added: "You came here for ghosts too? It's a pity that you came a step late, and I chased you away first hahaha." He laughed a few times, and poked his head into the corridor again: "You came with your friends ?”
"En." Seeing that Jing Xian couldn't knock on the door, Lu Yingjiu shouted, "Jing Xian, come here first."
Jing Xian entered the room, and the two introduced him briefly.
Another ghost exorcist poked out of the back room, and was a little dazed seeing them.
Chen Qi said: "It's okay, I just ran into a friend." He pointed to Lu Yingjiu and praised, "Do you know this one? The famous exorcist Lu Yingjiu, who can be the chief of the Blue Lantern Festival at the age of 19, He is the only one. Each of you should be half as powerful as him, and you are not afraid of others gossiping outside, saying that our Chen family is declining day by day."
The exorcist nodded nonchalantly towards the road, not knowing what to say, his eyes wandered.Chen Qi waved again: "Okay, go get busy, finish posting those two sets of charms, and I'll chat with my friends."
The ghost exorcist went back to the back room, rustling the talisman paper, ready to purify the yin energy.
Chen Qi wiped his sweat and sat on the bay window: "Let me tell you, I have never seen such an old lady who can run like a rabbit, and it is difficult to chase after letting the dog go out. I killed three people, one was guarding downstairs, and two followed me. The result was good. The two boys followed the old lady in the stairwell on the 29th floor. They ran around, maybe up and down, three or four times. Come back and forth, now they are all lying on their stomachs in the car. Why do you think this young man has such poor physical strength?"
Lu Yingjiu smiled and said, "Then you have good physical strength."
"No, no," Chen Qi waved his hands again and again, and smiled awkwardly, the flesh on his cheek squeezed his eyes into slits, "I stopped after running two floors, and let them chase after me. I haven't made a commission for several years, today is the Thinking about going out for a walk, who would have encountered such a troublesome thing. Hey, do you know what is going on with the person at the opposite door? I heard that he is still posting on the forum. "
"We can't get in touch." Lu Yingjiu replied simply.
"This is troublesome, and so are we." Chen Qi frowned, "If he was frightened just now, it would be easy to recruit ghosts when he goes out. He seems to work in some bar. I'll send someone to find him later and stuff him A few tips to ward off evil spirits."
It seems that this commission has ended before it even started.
After all, it is one of the aristocratic families, and there is someone from the Chen family, who is an old hand like Chen Qi, so it is definitely no problem to exorcise ghosts.
For the next 5 minutes, Chen Qi carefully pasted the talisman papers in his hand on the four corners of all the windows, covering doorknobs, table corners and sofa legs by the way—he was obviously clumsy when he squatted down, his legs were numb, and his old He couldn't stand up for a long time, so Jing Xian went over and pulled him up.
Jing Xian had great strength, and Chen Qi, who weighed almost 90 kilograms, was easily lifted up by him.
Chen Qi also praised: "Young man, you usually practice a lot, right? Which family's ghost exorcist are you?"
Jing Xian smiled: "I'm from Lu Yingjiu's family."
Chen Qi was stunned for half a second: "Oh, it's Xiaolu's office, right? It's a good idea. Sure enough, outstanding young people are attracted to each other. I'm ashamed of myself as a former wave." He wiped his hand with the back of his hand again Wiping off his sweat, he looked around the room, the talisman was almost pasted up, "It's rare for us to see each other, do you want to find a place nearby for tea?"
Lu Yingjiu wanted to refuse.
If it is not necessary, he doesn't like to deal with unfamiliar people, not to mention that the other party is about two rounds older than him. There must be no common topics when drinking tea, and it will eventually develop into awkward chats and awkward laughs.
But Chen Qi is an old fritter after all, and seemed to have sensed his intention to refuse, so he moved closer and whispered to him: "Since we just met, I have something to tell you."
Lu Yingjiu raised an eyebrow.
Chen Qi continued to whisper: "My brother... President Chen, didn't he say he was investigating you?"
"investigation".
Of course Lu Yingjiu remembered this word.
When Chen Zheng wanted him to step down as chief and transfer to another branch, he used the excuse of "investigating violations of discipline".As the person being investigated, he has never been aware of the specific situation, nor does he know where the current investigation procedure has come.
Lu Yingjiu joined the Blue Lantern Festival at the age of 16, became the chief executive at the age of 19, and resigned at the age of 26. It has been 10 years since she exorcised ghosts.After so long, even a saint can't say that he hasn't made any mistakes.Chen Zheng single-handedly promoted him, trying to find out a mistake from the past files, it is not too simple.
Chen Qi asked: "How did my brother tell you, do you know exactly which entrustment you were investigated for?"

I always appreciate it. Yours, therefore, wants to help you a little bit. Look, how about we go get some tea?"
Putting it on someone else, he should be extremely grateful, wishing to make a pot of good tea for Chen Qi now, and chat for a long time.
Lu Yingjiu said, "No need."
Chen Qi was taken aback.
Lu Yingjiu smiled: "I have a clear conscience, it has been the same for the past ten years, and it will be the same for the future."
"..." Chen Qi was speechless for a moment.
Lu Yingjiu's eyes that were as bright as a knife's light made his thousands of words stuck in his throat.
In just this second, he realized that this is a magnanimity that cannot be shaken even if the world is turned upside down.
Lu Yingjiu said: "We won't bother you any more." He greeted, "Jing Xian, let's go first."
Jing Xian responded and followed his leaving footsteps.

He gasped and said, "Well, I thought about it, even if it's not convenient to drink tea, I have something for you." He pressed the car key, and not far away, there was an empty black Bentley with the trunk opened.
Chen Qi went over and took out a heavy book from inside.The book was brand new, the packaging film was still there, the whole body was pitch black and there was no title.
Chen Qi said: "This is the illustrated book of ghosts and ghosts that the Chen family has just revised. It hasn't been officially printed yet. I only have one or two copies on hand. You can take it and have a look. Just the category entries have increased by 79 and there are many pictures. It's all my choice."
"...Thank you." Lu Yingjiu did not refuse this time, and took the brick-like book.
Jing Xian who was beside him suddenly put his arms around his shoulders and put the belt in his arms.
This action was a bit abrupt and too intimate, just as Lu Yingjiu was about to speak——
boom! ! !
The three turned their heads.
Thirty meters away, the roof of a gray Jetta was smashed flat, countless fragments of glass flew out, reflected the sharp light in the sun, sprinkled half of Jing Xian and Chen Qi's bodies, and pricked several hands on their hands. Road bloodstains.Because Lu Yingjiu was protected by Jing Xian, he was fine, but he had no time to pay attention to this detail.
The roof of the Jetta is a corpse.
The blood flowed out in large swaths, gathered in the hollow of the roof, and flowed down his hand from the fingertips to the ground, bright red.
...I should know this guy.
Lu Yingjiu thought.
It took two seconds for the memory to become clear: this is Jin Xiaoyang.
Today Chen Xiaoling showed them his photo.
They all looked up instinctively, and saw that the windows on the 12th floor were wide open, and the beige lattice curtains were blown by the wind and fluttered outside the building.
……
The sound of police sirens pierced the sky, and the lights kept flashing.
Lu Yingjiu was standing by the side of the road, his eyes were lowered, no emotion could be seen on his face.After nightfall, the wind picked up a bit, raising his black hair and his thin white shirt.
He subconsciously rubbed the longevity lock.
He, Jing Xian, Chen Qi, and the exorcist in the room all took notes.
Afterwards, the ghost exorcists of the Chen family also went to Jin Xiaoyang's room to search, but found nothing unusual, and it must have been a simple suicide.
There were no traces of ghosts, so the members of the Chen family didn't intend to continue the investigation.
It was the evening rush hour, and the vehicles gathered on the road to form a sea of lights, and the sound of horns kept coming and going, and all the roads on the navigation map were red.Many people who eat melons try to look at them, wanting to see what happened.Jing Xian stood beside him: "It's getting late, let's go eat."
Lu Yingjiu said: "When you knocked on the door, was there no movement in the room?"
"Well," Jing Xian replied, "I'm sure."
"At that time, Jin Xiaoyang was at home." Lu Yingjiu murmured, "But why? Was it because of a ghost encounter..."
Perhaps only Jin Xiaoyang himself can answer this question.Lu Yingjiu was silent for two or three seconds, then suddenly asked: "At that time, why did you take me into your arms?"
The strength that Jing Xian showed before did not match this kind of reaction at all.
Jing Xian said: "My intuition for danger is very accurate, it can be regarded as innate."
A very well-behaved explanation, there is nothing wrong with it.
Lu Yingjiu tilted his head.
Jing Xian was half a head taller than him, he raised his gaze slightly, and met Jing Xian's gaze.Jing Xian's eyebrows are deep and handsome. At this time, street lamps and car lights hit his face alternately, carving out sharp lines. If you take a photo casually, you can use it as a poster for any literary movie.
This light is dim and gentle, and at the same time conceals the aggression in his appearance...or in other words, his expression in front of Lu Yingjiu is always extraordinarily relaxed, even soft, as if carefully hiding his minions .
The eye contact lasted only half a second, and the expressions on both sides were impeccable. Then Lu Yingjiu smiled lightly and quickly, "Oh, that's how it is. It's good. Thank you."
Jing Xian asked: "Would you like to visit the Lane East Bar again?"
"That's exactly what I meant." Lu Yingjiu said, "Let's go, let me drive instead. Are your hands okay now?"
The shards of glass scratched Jing Xian and Chen Qi, the wound was not deep, Jing Xian simply wrapped some gauze around his forearm.
"It's okay," Jing Xian said, "I like driving."
Lu Yingjiu: "...I can see it."
So their Honda SUV went on the road again, the traffic was so congested that even Jing Xian couldn't overtake this time, so he had to wait for the traffic lights in a respectful manner.
Just like this while walking and blocking, it took 15 minutes for a 40-minute drive before they returned to the entrance of the Lane East Bar.
When they went there in the morning, they saw the piano and guitar in the middle of the bar, and thought it was a literary and artistic establishment. Unexpectedly, the whole painting style changed at night, and deafening music came from inside.And it seems that it is not so easy to get in.
Two burly men in black clothes stood at the entrance of the bar, with their arms crossed, and stopped them: "What are you here for? Are you a member here?!"
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
This is a gay place, he and Jing Xian happened to come here alone, how could it be possible that they didn't know what the best excuse was?He is not the kind of person who can't lie at all. To be honest, he has deceived many people, including but not limited to poor Xiao Li.
It's just that at this moment, the former chief of the Green Lantern Club, who has seen all kinds of wind and waves, experienced a lot, is very rare... for a moment of embarrassment.
He really has never encountered a scene where he needs to pretend to be gay.
Especially near the door, there are two men groping together lingeringly, with their clothes open, wishing to have a sex on the spot.
Even so, two seconds later, under the increasingly suspicious eyes of the big man, Lu Yingjiu had already put away all his emotions.He knew that he looked too obedient on the outside and was out of place here, so he bent his peach blossom eyes: "Come here..."
Come here just to drink and have fun.
Before he finished speaking, he was pushed into his arms by Jing Xian.
Jing Xian had a handsome face that both men and gods were angry with, and his tone was extremely arrogant: "Nonsense, come here to be a man, get the hell out of me." After saying that, he rubbed Lu Yingjiu's head, looking like a cynical second-generation ancestor, She raised her eyebrows and said, "This is my daughter-in-law, isn't she pretty? Are you envious?"
Two big men: "..."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
The big man Qiqi took two steps back, afraid that Jing Xian would be the one who would do it to him in the next second.As the "target to be fucked", Lu Yingjiu was carried in by Jing Xian with a blank expression.
The author has something to say:
Others: Speak the truth after drinking
Jing Xian: Speak the truth at any time, the acting skills are not distracted at all hahaha
