sleepy tiger

Chapter 25

Mu Xu held the comb, was silent for a moment, and said, "Thank you." He couldn't taste what he felt in his heart, as if he was poked by the fluffy tail of some kind of animal.

Chi Juntao unscrewed the mineral water bottle, poured the water into the palm of his hand, wet his hands, stroked the limp hair on the back of Mu Xu's head, used a comb to make a fluffy shape, and said, "Just wait for a while to dry."

The detailed diagnosis is more touching than Qian Quan's. The light in Mu Xu's eyes softened slightly, and he decided not to use so much force when he grabbed Chi Juntao's neck next time.

Chi Juntao didn't know that a comb had exchanged him for a gold medal for avoiding death. He lightly twisted his index finger, secretly yearning for the thick feathers of the swan.

According to the address sent by Kan Mengran, the taxi arrived at the Public Security Bureau, and Mu Xu pushed the door to get off and walked around to the trunk to get his luggage.

The police station was quiet. Mu Xu walked to a window and took out his ID card registration information. A policeman walked up to Mu Xu: "Hello, Mr. Mu."

"Hello, I'm here to find Shao Zhixing." Mu Xu put his ID card in the middle of the wallet.

"Let's chat here." The police led Mu Xu to an empty conference room, and Mu Xu signaled Chi Juntao not to follow with his eyes.

"Do you know what Mr. Shao is investigating?" the policeman asked.

"What's your name?" Mu Xu asked cautiously.

"Zhu Xiaoming." The policeman said, pointing to his left chest, "This is my siren."

Mu Xu copied the police number to his mobile phone and said, "Know a little bit."

"Here are the materials." Zhu Xiaoming handed Mu Xu a stack of A4 paper, "I will take it after signing."

Mu Xu picked up the pen on the table and sat down to sign.

"We caught him before those people," Zhu Xiaoming said. "We didn't detain him intentionally."

"I know he is investigating a corruption case." Mu Xu said, "I don't know the specifics."

"What he did was very dangerous," Zhu Xiaoming said, "even if someone is behind him to protect him."

"One has to live first, then talk about backing, right." Zhu Xiaoming took the materials handed over by Mu Xu, "Come with me."

Chi Juntao was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone boredly, and Cao Hanyang sent a message [Zheng Qiliang can really carry it. 】

[Chi Juntao:? 】

[Cao Hanyang: Zheng Qiliang, the person your uncle called to help, the director of the Xicheng District Public Security Bureau. 】

[Chi Juntao: Oh. 】

[Cao Hanyang: Seriously, if it is found out that your uncle bribed Zheng Qiliang, you will be suspended from the civil service examination. 】

[Chi Juntao: Can't find out. 】

[Cao Hanyang:?It's not a good thing to say, brother. 】

Chi Juntao put down his phone, looked up and saw Mu Xu leading a strange man over.The man was carrying a big black bag, his eyes were black and blue, and he looked like he hadn't slept for a few days.

"Did you call Xing Yang?" Mu Xu asked.

"No." Shao Zhixing shook his head.

"He's not worried?" Mu Xu asked.

"I ran out after I quarreled with him." Shao Zhixing said, puffing his cheeks, "He's not worried about me."

"..." Mu Xu took out his mobile phone and threw it to Shao Zhixing, "Call him, I don't want to be scolded by him for oppressing employees."

Shao Zhixing clutched his cell phone, struggled alone for a while, and went to the side to make a call.

Mu Xu sat next to Chi Juntao, resting his cheeks and thinking about things.

"Who is he?" Chi Juntao touched Mu Xu on the shoulder.

"My employee." Mu Xu said, "Don't try to trick anyone, he has a family."

"..." Chi Juntao frowned, "Do I look so hungry?"

"Otherwise." Mu Xu said, "Take your hand off my back."

Chi Juntao withdrew his arm: "Stingy ghost."

"Mr. Mu." Shao Zhi walked to the sofa and returned the phone to Mu Xu, "I have a USB flash drive with a friend, and I can only go back after I get it."

"I'm with you." Mu Xu said, "What did Xing Yang say?"

"...He didn't say anything." Shao Zhixing shrank his shoulders, "He can't hit me from such a distance."

Mu Xu stopped talking, other people's affairs have nothing to do with him.

The three of them successfully found Shao Zhixing's friend, took back the USB flash drive, and got on the plane back to Beijing.

"How was the summit?" Shao Zhixing asked.

Mu Xu said, "It went well."

Chi Juntao said, "Employees in your company can also fly first class?"

"He is in economy class." Mu Xu said, "I upgraded him."

Chi Juntao: "Why?"

Shao Zhixing: "I don't mind economy class."

"It's lonely for him to be alone in the back." Mu Xu said.

Chi Juntao raised his hand in protest, Shao Zhixing hesitated to speak, Mu Xu said, "Okay, shut up." He called the flight attendant and asked for three blankets to share with the other two, "All sleep."

There are two seats in a row in the first class, Chi Juntao occupies the position on Mu Xu's left, and Shao Zhixing sits directly behind Mu Xu.The three-and-a-half-hour flight was long and difficult, and when we landed, everyone looked out to enjoy the bustling night view outside the porthole.

The night view of Beijing is like a glowing chessboard. Chi Juntao pointed to a small block next to the Forbidden City and said, "My family used to live here, but after the hutongs were remodeled, my grandfather thought the courtyard was too crowded, so he rented out the courtyard and moved it to Shijingshan."

Mu Xu listened to Chi Juntao's story about old Beijing, and he had some vague memories about Beijing before he was six years old. The most impressive part was the scene where Ji Ke took him to play with building blocks.

"Jajin is my grandfather's idea." Chi Juntao said, "It's a pity he doesn't have the energy to take care of it."

Mu Xu's eyes were suddenly deep, he closed his eyes, swallowed the sarcasm, obviously he didn't want to hear any more.

The plane taxied on the runway and docked at the corridor bridge. The speaker announced the reminder to bring your carry-on luggage. Shao Zhixing picked up his bag and trotted out of the cabin.

"What's his hurry?" Chi Juntao asked.

"Someone will pick me up." Mu Xu said.

The two walked slowly to the exit, and they saw Shao Zhixing arguing with a green-eyed man, no, it was a unilateral punishment.

"It's very strict." Chi Juntao sighed.

Mu Xu silently passed by the quarreling young couple, pretending not to see, Chi Juntao had to say loudly: "Mr. Mu, don't we go together?"

Mu Xu was immediately caught by Xing Yang. The green-eyed man was handsome and spoke extremely politely: "Mr. Mu, do you know what Zhixing is doing on this trip?"

"...I don't know." Mu Xu said, "I will definitely know next time."

Chi Juntao smiled and stood aside with folded arms, watching Xing Yang's first training and second training.

Mu Xu couldn't understand Chi Juntao's leisurely appearance, so he walked out of the terminal building by Chi Juntao's collar, and threw him into a taxi: "You go back by yourself, I have something to do."

"What's the matter?" Chi Juntao grabbed the car door with both hands, "It's already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and I can't get in."

"..." Mu Xu reluctantly sat in the back seat, closed the car door, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number, his voice was soft: "Hey, are you asleep?"

A gentle male voice sounded from the opposite side: "I'm going to bed, I can't contact you, I put the finished chicken in the refrigerator."

"I'm in a hurry, can I go eat tomorrow?" Mu Xu asked.

Li Hongyang said with a good temper: "Okay, have you had dinner yet?"

"The plane meal." Mu Xu said, "It's not good."

Hearing Mu Xu's coquettish complaints, Chi Juntao clenched his fists and turned his head to look out the window, forcing himself not to listen.Some things don't mean you really don't care if you just say you don't care. Chi Juntao realized that getting to know a person is a huge project.In the past, Chi Juntao had never thought of understanding others, and it was particularly difficult to accept the fragments of the past revealed by Mu Xu.

He listened to Mu Xu talking on the phone, talking softly, talking about the hard work of the business trip like a child, and a subtle bitterness rose in his heart.He rolled down the car window to let the evening wind blow in to wash his mind.

"Go home and sleep if you're tired." Li Hongyang said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Mu Xu hung up the phone, and after a day of running around, he was indeed exhausted. He leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyelids, and let out a deep breath.

The taxi drove into Beijing City and arrived at the gate of the community in about an hour and 10 minutes.Mu Xu was already sound asleep leaning on the car door, Chi Juntao paid the fare, opened the car door, and softly coaxed Mu Xu: "We're here, I'll help you up."

Mu Xu was sleepy, raised his arm, and let Chi Juntao play with it. He said in a drawn out voice, "The key is in the left pocket."

Chi Juntao took out the key, helped Mu Xu upstairs, opened the door, turned on the ceiling light in the living room, and said, "It's too late, go to bed directly."

"No." Aijie's President Mu sternly refused, put on slippers and staggered into the master bedroom, took off his shirt and trousers, passed the open master bedroom door and walked into the bathroom.

Chi Juntao's eyes caught the flash of the white body, raised his eyebrows and snapped his fingers.
