Do not lie to me

Shang Xuechen grabbed the two sleeves of the suit covering his head and tied them around his chin, and happily picked up his favorite dishes with chopsticks.

Brother Zhou smiled when he saw his outfit, "You really look like... ouch..."

Yuan Li'an kicked him under the table, Brother Zhou glanced carefully at Shang Xuechen.

"Like what? Tell me." Shang Xuechen asked him bluntly.

Brother Zhou glanced at Yuan Li'an, twisted his body and moved his feet away from Yuan Li'an, then smiled and said to Shang Xuechen, "Like my mother. My mother used to tie a small square scarf on her head to buy vegetables in the vegetable market in the winter .”

Shang Xuechen bit his chopsticks and nodded. He didn't care about it, and he didn't take off the clothes on top of his head because of what Brother Zhou said. He just stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

Brother Zhou looked at him and didn't react at all, turned to Yuan Li'an and asked, "Oh, I don't think he's as sensitive as you think." After speaking, he turned around and saw Shang Xuechen smiling at him, delivering food with him. into his own bowl and said, "You guys eat too."

Brother Zhou picked up his chopsticks and looked at Shang Xuechen with a smile, "Oh, no matter what it turns into, he's still my brother."

Seeing Shang Xuechen like this, Yuan Li'an felt that he was overly worried, so he calmed down and picked up his chopsticks to eat something.Before I finished my mouthful, I heard Brother Zhou's cry, "Bah bah bah, I'm so miserable!"

Yuan Li'an glanced at the bitter gourd in Brother Zhou's bowl, and then saw that Shang Xuechen was pursing his lips and snickering, he also smiled, bowed his head and started eating by himself after laughing.

Shang Xuechen was complacent listening to Brother Zhou's cry, when he suddenly heard a crisp sound.He turned to look at Yuan Li'an, the smile on his face was gone.

Yuan Li'an was eating sullenly, always feeling that he was being stared at, and when he looked up, he saw Shang Xuechen staring at him.He was a little puzzled for a while, and after chewing and swallowing what was in his mouth, he asked Shang Xuechen, "What's wrong?"

Shang Xuechen shook his head, looked down at the half-eaten melon sticks that Yuan Li'an had eaten, clearly showing his displeasure.Yuan Li'an looked at Shang Xuechen who was frowning and couldn't help feeling a little worried, and asked him anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Shang Xuechen raised his head to look at Yuan Li'an, and asked in a cold tone, "Why are you here?"

"what?"

"No class today?"

Yuan Li'an was questioned. I don't know why Shang Xuechen suddenly became sober and serious again. Brother Zhou next to him took a sip of water before telling him, "You ate something he likes, and now he is driving you away. .”

Shang Xuechen turned his head and stared at Brother Zhou, who was so frightened by his sudden look that he choked on his drink and coughed while patting his chest.Shang Xuechen told Brother Zhou coldly, "You, send him back to school!"

Yuan Li'an quickly put down his chopsticks, "Brother Shang, I won't eat. You asked me to stay, you can't stay here alone now."

Brother Zhou clicked his tongue and took out his mobile phone to send a text message.Shang Xuechen peeked at him, Zhou Ge looked up and saw him, crossed his legs and sent a text message in front of his face, "You don't think that Ji Shuping can come back to accompany you when we are all gone."

Being knocked out of his little thoughts, Shang Xuechen touched his nose in embarrassment, "I... I... didn't."

Brother Zhou just smiled and didn't take his words seriously. He lowered his head and continued to send text messages with Yuan Li'an in his mouth, "Xiao Yuan, let's go. I'll take you to school. He only has one thing on this table Bitter melon is willing to be eaten by you, but I am not willing to give you anything else."

When Shang Xuechen heard this, he pulled the sleeve tied to his chin and tied it to his nose again, showing childish and guilty conscience.

Yuan Li'an didn't say anything and didn't leave, "No, he can't be left alone at this time of the confession. Anyway, I won't leave." Yuan Li'an said, crossing his arms and leaning back on the chair.

Brother Zhou finally put down his phone, turned around and patted Yuan Li'an on the shoulder, "Okay, let's go. I sent a text message to tell someone, and someone will come to accompany me."

Yuan Li'an turned his head to look at Brother Zhou, and just before he opened his mouth, he heard a surprised voice from the other side, "Really?"

Zhou Ge and Yuan Li'an tacitly turned around to look at Shang Xuechen, Shang Xuechen puffed his cheeks, but Zhou Ge still saw his snickering, he patted Yuan Li'an on the shoulder, "See, he I wish we could go away. Don't worry, when that person comes later, he will be obedient and not be a demon."

Yuan Li'an looked at Shang Xuechen, who was wearing a suit with his head covered, and was playing with his sleeves in knots on his face. He lowered his head and sighed, "Okay, I get it. I'll leave when someone comes."

Shang Xuechen was no longer in the mood to eat, got up and sat down on the sofa in the living room, staring at the door, waiting for someone to come in.

While tidying up the table, Yuan Li'an would look back at Shang Xuechen who was sitting on the sofa from time to time, for fear that something might happen to him again.

Brother Zhou found a cucumber from the refrigerator and chewed it loudly.Yuan Li'an remembered to ask Brother Zhou after clearing away the table, "Hey, can Ji Shuping come back at this time? I think he seems to be in a hurry this morning, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Brother Shang to us."

Brother Zhou took another bite of cucumber, smiled and raised his eyebrows to look at Yuan Li'an, "Did I say Ji Shuping is coming back?"

"Isn't Ji Shuping coming? Then who are you looking for?" Yuan Li'an looked at the person sitting obediently on the sofa in the living room, "Don't tempt him, or make him hide in the room again when the time comes. "

"Absolutely not." Brother Zhou said proudly, "The person who came will definitely make him obedient, so you can rest assured."

Shang Xuechen was sitting on the sofa when he heard the door lock, stood up excitedly, and grasped the two sleeves tied around his nose.When he saw the doorknob turning around, he happily ran towards the door, shouting excitedly, "You're back..."

Jiajia opened the door and came in, and saw Shang Xuechen who suddenly braked in front of her.The two looked at each other, Brother Zhou came out of the kitchen with half a cucumber with a smile, and said to Jiajia, "Here we come."

Jiajia glanced at Brother Zhou and then at Shang Xuechen standing in front of her. She carefully studied his current appearance, but she still couldn't understand after looking at it for a long time, so she turned to Brother Zhou and asked, "What is he doing?" What? What are you doing with your clothes tied on top of your head?"

"It's okay, he's just bored to play." Brother Zhou came forward, bent down and squatted down to find a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them in front of her for Jiajia to change into. Jiajia looked down at Brother Zhou and smiled. Put your feet into the slippers at once.

Shang Xuechen stood there and lowered his head, thinking, "Why not him?"

Brother Zhou smiled and got up and led Jiajia into the room, "Did I say he was here?" After speaking, he glanced at Yuan Li'an who was staying in the kitchen, "Now you can rest assured, I will take you to school. Jiajia is here , he is more honest."

Shang Xuechen glanced at Brother Zhou, and sat back at the table in the restaurant sullenly.Jiajia put the bag on the sofa in the living room, followed up the restaurant, looked at Shang Xuechen, and asked, "He is..."

Yuan Li'an stretched out his index finger to his lips, and made a "shh" gesture, signaling to go out and talk.Jia Jia followed Yuan Li'an back to the living room. Yuan Li'an looked at Shang Xuechen who was sitting muffled at the dining table, and lowered his voice to tell Jia Jia, "It seems to be ill. We don't know exactly what it is. We just know that we can't." Leave him alone."

"Sick?" Jia Jia took another look into the dining room, and turned to Yuan Li'an, "Then should I pay attention to him?"

Yuan Li'an propped his chin and thought for a while, but Brother Zhou rushed to answer, "No, he's just like a wayward kid now. Just don't grab his food."

Jiajia gave Brother Zhou a white look, and turned back to wait for Yuan Li'an's answer. Yuan Li'an thought for a while before saying, "It seems to be true. It's just a little willful, just follow his wishes."

"Well, I see. Then go about your business."

Yuan Li'an was still a little worried and wanted to say something to Monk Xuechen, but Brother Zhou stopped him directly, "Let's go. Don't worry, it will be safer for him to stay with Jiajia."

Brother Zhou just dragged Yuan Li'an downstairs and took the car.When they got in the car, Yuan Li'an still looked worried, and asked Brother Zhou, "Is it okay to let Brother Shang and Sister Jiajia stay like this?"

"I think it's okay." Brother Zhou replied to Yuan Li'an's words while turning the steering wheel, "Although his temper has become a little weird, he still seems to recognize people. Jiajia can take good care of him, and he doesn't dare to play tricks on Jiajia Little temper. Besides, after I see you off, don't you go back and look at him right away. Don't worry about it, and go to class well. "

When he arrived at school, Yuan Li'an still looked worried, but Brother Zhou had already sent him to school, so there was no reason to take him back.Brother Zhou watched Yuan Li'an standing beside his car dawdling, and simply got out of the car and twisted Yuan Li'an's wrist to send him to the teaching building.

Yuan Li'an was reluctantly sent to the front of the teaching building by Brother Zhou. It had reached this point, and Yuan Li'an could no longer find an excuse to let Brother Zhou take him back.Brother Zhou watched Yuan Li'an turn around and was about to walk into the teaching building, and he felt relieved before turning around and leaving.

"Brother Zhou!" Suddenly being called, Brother Zhou thought it was Yuan Li'an who wanted to follow him back without giving up, and turned his head to teach Yuan Li'an a lesson. Who knew that when he turned around and raised his fist, he saw Shao Ji running there behind myself.Brother Zhou put away his fists in a hurry, and Yuan Li'an was startled by Shao Ji who appeared suddenly without saying hello, and ran over in a hurry.

"What are you?" Before Brother Zhou could finish his question, Yuan Li'an ran over and pulled away Shao Ji who was standing in front of Brother Zhou, "Xiao Ji, don't ask Brother Zhou about Brother Shang anymore, Shang brother he..."

"I didn't want to inquire about this!" Shao Ji anxiously shook off Yuan Li'an's hand that was holding her.

"Didn't you ask about Brother Shang?" Yuan Li'an turned to look at Brother Zhou, who was also looking at him with a puzzled expression.Brother Zhou scratched the back of his head and asked Shao Ji, "Then why do you want me?"

Shao Ji nervously clenched the strap hanging from the side of his schoolbag, looked up at Brother Zhou, "Brother Zhou, I want to talk to you about business."

"Business? You want me to help you investigate? But what do you want to investigate?"

When Brother Zhou asked this question, Shao Ji first glanced at Yuan Li'an beside him, "Xiao An, please avoid me for a while. I have a personal matter to ask Brother Zhou for help."

Yuan Li'an glanced at Shao Ji and then at Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou waved at him, "Xiao Yuan, then you can enter the classroom."

Hearing what Brother Zhou said, Yuan Li'an took another look at Shao Ji before turning around and entering the teaching building.Brother Zhou glanced at the back of Yuan Li'an who had gone away, and then said to Shao Ji, "What do you want me to check? Yes. You know what we do is paid for hard work."

"The price is up to you. As long as you help me find it."

Brother Zhou glanced at Shao Ji in surprise. He originally said that to tell him to retreat in spite of the difficulties. A pen is a pen.Brother Zhou asked Shao Ji, "Then tell me, what do you want me to check?"

After hesitating for a moment, Shao Ji took out a textbook from his schoolbag and took out an old photo in the book.Shao Ji pointed to the old man in the photo and said, "This is a fortune teller. You help me find him, I have something to ask him."

Shao Ji had thought about it, his mother had made sufficient preparations before returning to China, and she would definitely not be found out so easily, and he didn't want to directly investigate his mother, for fear of attracting the attention of his mother and other covetous people.So Shao Ji planned to attack this old fortune-teller from the very beginning.

Brother Zhou took the photo in his hand and took a closer look, "I can't find out the old man. The man who took this photo was already very old, and I don't know if he is still there now."

Shao Ji lowered his head in disappointment after hearing this, Zhou Ge raised the photo and squinted his eyes, "But I do have clues about other things in this photo."

Shao Ji didn't want Zhou Ge to check Mrs. Shao, shook his head and said, "I don't want you to check the woman next to him."

Brother Zhou raised half of his mouth and said confidently, "Did I say it was this woman? I was talking about other things in this photo."

"Other things?" Shao Ji asked with some doubts.

Brother Zhou put down the photo. The private business is a hard-earned money, but he never thought that he would earn easy money today.He put the photo back into Shao Ji's palm, pointed to the upper corner of the photo and said, "See the corner of their signboard when they leaned back? I have investigated this before, and the person I investigated once worked in this company .”

Shao Ji lowered his head to look in the direction of Brother Zhou's finger, and the corner of the signboard exposed in the photo was so small that he couldn't see it clearly unless he looked carefully.He raised his head and asked Brother Zhou, "Where is that man now? Take me to see him."

"Well, it's a little troublesome."

"I'll add money!"

Brother Zhou squinted at him, "It's not about the money. The main reason is that this person just went in recently and has been involved with drugs. It's really difficult for you to arrange to see her."

Shao Ji anxiously grabbed Brother Zhou, "Brother Zhou, I know you must have a solution. I want to see him no matter what, and I need it now. I have something very important to ask."

Brother Zhou looked at Shao Ji with an anxious face, and wondered if it was a coincidence, why did Shang Xuechen finish looking for Hang Qing recently, and Shao Ji also came to look for him?If Brother Zhou hadn’t checked Hang Qing’s background when he was helping Shang Xuechen find Hang Qing’s whereabouts, he wouldn’t have recognized the entertainment city from the photo Shao Ji took today by such a coincidence. signboard.

Brother Zhou thought about it, but in the end he still felt that there was no reason not to want the money delivered to his door, so he finally agreed to Shao Ji, "Okay, I'll take you to see her. Anyway, I'm going to the bureau to check things out."

"En." Shao Ji nodded and followed Brother Zhou into the car.

Along the way, Shao Ji tightened his seat belt nervously. Brother Zhou occasionally looked back at him, and asked him when he couldn't help it, "Why are you checking this?"

Shao Ji lowered his head and didn't answer, so Brother Zhou stopped asking questions and whistled while driving the car carefree.And Shao Ji tightened his seat belt even more.

When they got to the place, Brother Zhou led Shao Ji in after finishing the preparations.Shao Ji saw Hang Qing who was pushed out, and when Hang Qing sat down opposite him, Shao Ji turned his head to look at Brother Zhou who was standing behind him, and Brother Zhou went out tactfully.

Only Shao Ji, Hang Qing and a guarding policeman were left in the room.When Shao Ji looked away from the policeman behind Hang Qing, he found that Hang Qing was looking at him.He lowered his head and bit his lips hard, then heard Hang Qing from the opposite side ask him, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Shao Ji looked up at her, and in order not to reveal his identity, he opened his mouth to lie, "I'm probably the son of a lady in the entertainment city where you worked before. I came to you just to find out who I was born to." Yes." Shao Ji took out the photo and pushed it in front of Hang Qing.

Hang Qing looked down at the photo, then raised his head and squinted at Shao Ji, "What's the benefit of telling you me?"

"I can give you money."

"Money?" Hang Qing sneered, "I want you to find a way to let me out."

"I can't do it." Shao Ji said bluntly, "I was adopted by a foreign couple, and I don't have any channels in China. I can't give you anything except money." Seeing that Hang Qing was not moved at all, he added, " I heard that your case is a bit strange, although I can't guarantee you to come out, but I can guarantee your life, and I won't let you disappear quietly inside."

Hang Qing relaxed a little, looked at Shao Ji and asked, "How old are you this year?"

Shao Ji pursed his lips and told her, "27."

"27?" Hang Qing looked at Shao Ji carefully again, "Why doesn't it look that big?"

Shao Ji pretended to be calm and told her, "Many people say that, the weather abroad is good, and my adoptive parents treat me very well. Maybe it's because I grew up in a carefree environment, so I look small."

Hang Qing looked down at the photo in his hand, "If you are 27 this year, then the woman in this photo is not your mother."

"Why are you so sure?" Shao Ji quickly took back the photo, carefully putting it away.

Hang Qing raised his head and squinted at him, "You look a bit like her. But she is not a young lady. Didn't you say you were born by a young lady?"

Shao Ji secretly let out a sigh of relief, "Isn't she a lady? Then what does she do?"

"Her." Hang Qing smiled, "Her life is much better than ours. The old man who told the fortune of the big brother in the entertainment city once said that she will be more expensive than mother. Here, the old man in the photo said Yes. In fact, she was supposed to be a lady like me. She was sold out when she was a teenager. Who knew that the first customer she received was the drunk second brother, and she was so lucky that she conceived him overnight. The second brother is very cold-hearted. Originally, the second brother’s own rules were not to keep seeds, but the eldest brother asked him to stay, because the fortune-telling old man told the eldest brother that their family would never be born again in the future, and also said that the second brother Brother is short-lived. Eldest brother believes in fate and is afraid of fate. When she was pregnant, elder brother was happier than second brother, because second brother would be considered to have a child. She really obeyed the fortune-telling sentence Gui, the young lady got rid of her just on her first day, and she has been offered abortion ever since."

"You said..." Shao Ji clenched his fists involuntarily, "What big brother and second brother are you talking about, what are their surnames?"

"Hiss~ what's your surname?" Hang Qing tilted his head and thought for a while, "I really can't remember what happened so long ago, after all, I only worked there for a few years."

Shao Ji's fist was clenched tighter because of his nervousness, "Ah!" Hang Qing yelled, which startled Shao Ji.

"It's really getting old, and my memory is bad. Their surname is Xu."

Shao Ji let go of his fist and smiled self-deprecatingly, as expected he was thinking too much.

"Huh? That's not right." Shao Ji looked up at Hang Qing, who was muttering something wrong, and asked her, "What's wrong."

"I really have a bad memory. What is the surname Xu? The original surname is Shang."

Shao Ji was stunned, "You said your surname is Shang?"

"Hey, I misremembered it because the eldest brother's son changed his surname. That's right, the surname is Shang. The Shang family, which was very famous in the Tao, was created by two brothers with bare hands, but at the most prestigious moment, it suddenly disappeared. gone."

"Then what happened later?" Shao Ji asked Hang Qing with trembling lips, "Where did the woman in the photo go after the Shang family disappeared?"

"So she has a good life. She left within a few years after giving birth. In fact, it was because of the fortune-teller's words. The fortune-teller said that her mother is more expensive than her child, so she felt that her own pattern should not be shameful. After giving birth, I often come to the entertainment city to hang around. At first I thought she was here to show off, but later I realized where it was. It turned out that she was going fishing. You know Yao Caier, she is the dead star. I also sat there before."

Shao Ji shook his head, "I grew up abroad. I don't know about this star."

"That Yao Caier's character is really not good. She lied to men and women. At that time, she was bragging to us all day long that she would be able to join Shaw Brothers, saying that she was the illegitimate son of Shaw Brothers and she was a childhood sweetheart. At that time, everyone lied all day long because of her. No one believed it. As a result, the woman in the photo believed it, and found a lot of it with Yao Caier. Later, it seemed that she really stepped on Yao Caier to get some rich money. After that, I didn’t hear anything about it. Passed. But I think it should be a good life, after all, the fortune teller is really accurate. Didn't the Shang family come true in his mouth?"

Shao Ji listened silently, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Brother Zhou became bored waiting outside, he had many acquaintances here, so he went to find an old acquaintance to catch up.

After finding an old acquaintance and typing a few words, Brother Zhou raised his head to look around. After confirming that there was no one around, Brother Zhou whispered to the acquaintance's ear, "Help me check someone's background."

The policeman who was questioned smiled and pointed at him with his index finger, "I said, how could you chat with me. Which bowl of rice you served, how could you catch up with me when you have nothing to do."

"This time, it's really reminiscing about the old days. I really don't want to inquire about it again. My friend asked me to check this before, but I had a lot of things to do before, so I postponed it later. Anyway, I'm here today, so I just check it out."

"Who are you looking for?"

"One named Wen Ting."

The entrusted policeman tapped the computer twice, "Yo, this girl died a long time ago."

"Then look up her family connections."

"Hey, what do you mean you won't inquire when you come back later? You have to wash your hands and quit."

Brother Zhou smiled, "Yes, wash your hands and quit. I'm getting married."
