Do not lie to me

Shang Xuechen was absent-mindedly eating the breakfast in front of him. There were only a few kinds of breakfast in the hotel. After eating for a long time, he felt monotonous and boring. In fact, it was not because the breakfast was bad, but because he was restless. He raised his eyes and saw Ji Shuping on the opposite side. When I looked down at the breakfast in front of me, I felt even more irritable.

Uncle Kang, who sent the police away, came in again. He saw them eating breakfast, but walked to Ji Shuping silently, picked up the water bottle and refilled the water glass next to Ji Shuping. What is being said beside Ji Shuping.Seeing him raise his head, he paused, as if he was afraid that he would hear.

Shang Xuechen was actually not looking at them, he only looked up at the water glass when he heard the sound of water.Shao Ling is alcoholism?He remembered that when he met him at the bar yesterday, he seemed to be sane and logical when talking to himself, and he was not so drunk that his tongue was tied and unresponsive. Many wine bottles.

He was so engrossed in thinking about things that he didn't notice that Ji Shuping got up and went outside the living room to discuss something with Uncle Kang.When Ji Shuping came back and sat down at the dining table again, he came back to his senses.

As soon as Ji Shuping sat down, he heard him ask, "How does Shao Ling usually drink?"

"His drinking capacity?" Ji Shuping didn't quite understand why Shang Xuechen asked this suddenly, but he just answered truthfully, "People in the mall have to practice even if they don't have a good drinking capacity. I think Shao Ling should have a good drinking capacity. He didn't manage to be a manager." When I was in the position, I was just working as a salesman in front of Shaw, running business all day long to treat me to dinner, whoever gave me the wine had to drink, I should drink better than you and me."

How can that be alcohol poisoning?He remembered that Shao Ling didn't show any obvious physical discomfort except that he was sad.He was talking to himself, and gradually became confused. He thought he was drunk, because he didn't fall down suddenly, so he didn't think about the shock.

"We have to go today."

"So soon?" Shang Xuechen thought that Ji Shuping would not let him off so easily, but he didn't expect him to decide to go back so soon.As long as you go back by yourself, it's not easy to hide.

"Why are you reluctant?"

"I can't wait to go back soon." When he said this, he was actually a little bit reluctant, not willing to part with that piece of sea, that piece of starry sky, but when he thought that it was all fake, he didn't want to part with it and forced himself to part with it.

"The Shao family has already received a notice. This matter is rather troublesome. Shao Ling died in Ji's hotel. When the reporter hears about it, tomorrow's news will have to be added to the news, and the old things from that year will be revealed again. explain."

"So, you, Ji, have to leave the scene of the incident to avoid the limelight?" Shang Xuechen thought that this would be fine, Ji Shuping was in a hurry to leave, and he would stay for a few more days to separate from him, "Maybe the police have to find I asked, I still cooperate to stay here for a few more days, besides, I haven't stayed here enough."

Ji Shuping didn't give him any room, "You have to go with me!"

Shang Xuechen was dissatisfied with the tone of his order, and insisted on retorting, "Why?!"

"I booked two hotel rooms together. You came with me. When the reporter finds something, it will be exaggerated again."

Shang Xuechen said it casually and bluntly, "Say it straight, you are afraid that reporters will find out that you brought a bed partner to vacation and that he is a man, which will affect your business image."

"I'm protecting you!" Ji Shuping suppressed his emotions and calmed down his unrepressed voice, "If you don't want to be thoroughly investigated by reporters, then stay as a source of gossip."

Shang Xuechen remembered that his life experience was not very glorious, especially he didn't want to bring up the matter of his father and uncle. The reporter of Gossip Weekly not only has investigative power but also imagination. Thinking to the end, he only answered Ji Shuping in a muffled voice, "Got it."

Hearing his answer like this, Ji Shuping picked up the napkin at hand and wiped the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.Shang Xuechen watched him wipe the corners of his mouth with a napkin, stared at the white napkin in his hand, and remembered that he was hiding behind the door yesterday and saw Zhou Yuan waiting for Shao Ling to go out and then appearing in front of Shao Ling's door.He clearly saw that Zhou Yuan stuffed a white handkerchief into her bag when she turned to leave.

Ji Shuping saw him lost in thought, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"If Shao Ling was poisoned by alcohol, it should be regarded as an accidental death. The police came to ask me for questioning, and felt that they regarded me as a suspect. Could it be that the police suspect that Shao Ling's death was not an accident?"

"Why did you go to the bar yesterday? It was a coincidence to meet Shao Ling."

Shang Xuechen looked up at him, then lowered his head to poke the eggs on the plate, as if he didn't want to talk.

Ji Shuping pursued him closely, and did not let him go because of his reluctance to speak, "You squatted in Shao Ling's room? The bar you went to with him?"

Shang Xuechen raised his head to look at him, with a bit of anger showing on his pale face, "You doubt me after using me?"

"When Uncle Kang was looking for you yesterday, he found out that you were pretending to be my employee and asked the hotel staff about the location of Shaoling's room. The surveillance did not capture you taking the elevator to the fifth floor. You asked someone in the corridor, maybe it was Go straight down the stairs. The surveillance on the 5th floor corridor was on, and you happened to be photographed. I don’t want you to continue to have anything to do with Shao Ling’s death. I didn’t tell the police about this, but you’d better tell me the truth .”

"I..." Shang Xuechen didn't want to tell Ji Shuping about his original plan to ask Zhou Yuan to take him away, for fear that he would take a closer look at him and it would be even more difficult to get away in the future, "Believe it or not, I met Shao Ling at the bar. It was really a coincidence. I was entangled and pushed down on the sofa to see Shao Ling. As for why I went to the bar, I was too hungry at the time, and I just wanted to go there to find something to eat."

"Then why did you beat around the bush to inquire about Shao Ling's room?"

Shang Xuechen clenched the knife and fork in his hand, and was quickly searching for some useful information in his mind to make up a lie that could fool him, "The car that Yao Caier got in was driven by Xu Xueshi, and Zhou Yuan came back. However, Yao Caier did not come back. I asked Xu Xueshi, and Xu Xueshi only said that Yao Caier was not kidnapped. But yesterday morning, Shao Ling made a deal with you, and it was clearly a ransom. I thought it was strange, so I wanted to ask Shao Ling for clarification. "

Ji Shuping didn't ask any more questions, nor did he delve into the credibility of Shang Xuechen's words.He also asked someone to investigate, but he didn't care about Yao Cai'er's whereabouts. He just wanted to force Shao Ling to make a deal with him as soon as possible, so he asked someone to pretend to be a kidnapper and send Shao Ling a text message asking for a ransom.Now the transaction is completed, but Shao Ling is dead, so he can only hold down the matter of getting the shares of Shao Group.

"I heard from Uncle Kang that the cause of Shao Ling's death is a bit weird, and the exact cause of death can only be found out after an autopsy. Although it seems like an accident now, the main reason why the police are holding on to it is that no fingerprints were found on the doorknob of Shao Ling's room. No outsiders, not even Shao Ling's own fingerprints. It seems to have been wiped off on purpose. This is very strange, so the police will be suspicious. This kind of thing happened to happen in a hotel under the Ji family, so we can only go first , to save a lot of twists and turns."

"No fingerprints?" Shang Xuechen thought of Zhou Yuan?Did Zhou Yuan go back to wipe her fingerprints?She knew Shao Ling would die?But she deliberately wiped off her fingerprints and exposed them. What exactly is Zhou Yuan trying to do?

Seeing that Shang Xuechen was distracted again, Ji Shuping called out to him, "What are you thinking?"

Shang Xuechen looked up at Ji Shuping, and remembered that when Yao Caier disappeared, he didn't care about Zhou Yuan's safety. If he told him what he saw at that time, and didn't mention how the police investigated, Zhou Yuan might be pushed away. To the reporters, to be a smoke bomb between Ji and Shaw.

He himself has tasted how uncomfortable it is to be calculated to make a smoke bomb. He put down the knife and fork in his hand and no longer has the appetite to eat. "It's okay, I just stared blankly when I was full."

"Are you full?" Ji Shuping glanced at his dinner plate, but only ate a few slices of ham, and reminded him kindly, "It's not clear whether the reporter has received the wind, and it will definitely not be so easy for us to go out later. You should eat more and save some energy."

"Don't eat when you're full." Shang Xuechen was really not in the mood to continue eating breakfast.

Ji Shuping was still persevering in persuading, "Your health is not good, and your stomach will hurt again if you don't eat more."

hypocritically!Shang Xuechen looked at Ji Shuping's face and woke up the alarm in his heart, don't let him be nice to you, you will lose your head, think about how he suppressed and humiliated you just now, and now he put on a The look of concern is just tricking you!Shang Xuechen pushed away the chair and got up, and walked to the sofa, "I don't need others to remind me of my own body!"

Shang Xuechen walked to the side of the sofa, found his bag, and looked through it twice. Fortunately, everything was still intact and Ji Shuping didn't hold it down.Holding her bag tightly, she sat down on the sofa and asked Ji Shuping, "When are you leaving?"

"Wait for Uncle Kang to arrange."

After Ji Shuping finished speaking, he was about to walk towards Shang Xuechen but was stopped, "Don't come here!" Shang Xuechen grabbed the bag in his hand tightly, "I want to stay by myself!"

Ji Shuping didn't go over, and sat at the dining table and asked him, "You haven't said anything about your relationship with Xu Xueshi. He called you Xiaochen, and you seem to have a very close relationship."

Now Ji Shuping is some distance away from him, and he is not restrained by him, so Shang Xuechen can feel at ease and say to him, "When you knew me, you didn't know that my private life was very messy. I don't know how many people like this and that have dated." .”

No, this explanation is wrong.It's not that Ji Shuping is unaware of Shang Xuechen's promiscuity, but he's also heard about the affairs between Shang Xuechen and his previous sex friends. It seems that no one like Xu Xueshi appeared in the stories he told himself.Either Xu Xueshi is not as good as other friends with benefits for him to tell an ordinary story, or he deliberately misleads himself by describing Xu Xueshi as his ordinary friend with benefits, thereby hiding Xu Xueshi's true identity.In short, Xu Xueshi was a special person to him, that's why he clenched his mouth tightly.

The more Shang Xuechen concealed it like this, the more Ji Shuping liked it. He believed that Shang Xuechen couldn't let go of himself, but what if he was compared with Xu Xueshi?Between Xu Xueshi and himself, which one would make him more reluctant to let go?

The atmosphere in the living room was not very good. One of them sat on the sofa and the other sat at the dining table, and neither of them spoke.Shang Xuechen wondered if he would go directly to Ji Shuping's house if he went back in Uncle Kang's car, and Ji Shuping didn't seem to let him go, so he desperately thought about how to escape.Ji Shuping was thinking about how to break off the relationship between Xu Xueshi and Shang Xuechen so that he only cared about himself.

Each had something on their minds, no one said a word, and they waited for Uncle Kang to come in again, so that they all came back to look at Uncle Kang who was standing at the door of the room.

Uncle Kang never thought that he would receive so much attention as soon as he came in. He thought they knew the current situation in the hotel lobby, and he hesitated to explain, "A reporter has already rushed over after hearing the news, and the police came to investigate. Well, let’s go now, I’m afraid we won’t leave until the afternoon, when the hotel lobby will be full of reporters looking for news.”

Ji Shuping slightly nodded at Uncle Kang, "Understood." Then he said to Shang Xuechen, "Let's go."

Shang Xuechen hadn't figured out a countermeasure yet, he just got up, thinking to wait until he got out of the hotel, if he got into the car as soon as he got out of the hotel, he would run from the service area when he passed by the service area.Thinking about it this way, it seems to be the most feasible solution at present. I am planning carefully. When I passed by the dining table, Ji Shuping grabbed his arm, and he screamed in shock, "Ah! What are you arresting me for? Let go!"

Shang Xuechen shook his arm and wanted to shake off Ji Shuping. Usually he shakes it because Ji Shuping doesn't cooperate much, so he can get rid of it easily. Now he can't shake it because Ji Shuping doesn't want to let go at all. Just now, he looks so preoccupied , I don’t know how to escape from my side again.

Ji Shuping grabbed him tightly, pulled him, and directly wrapped his arms around his waist in front of Uncle Kang. Shang Xuechen was still struggling with his bag, "Let go! The reporters below are waiting, you are not afraid of being photographed." ?” After speaking, his eyes flew straight to Uncle Kang, thinking that Uncle Kang could help out and say a few words, but Uncle Kang just lowered his head and pretended that he didn’t see it.

"It's just that there are so many people down here, I'm afraid the flow of people will disperse us. I brought you here, so naturally I have to take you away." Ji Shuping wrapped his arms around his waist, lowered his head to his ear, and said softly, "I Of course I won't give you a chance to escape."

Ji Shuping was worried, because Shang Xuechen was too cunning and let him escape once yesterday. If he hadn't shown himself, he was really afraid that Shang Xuechen would just leave the hotel without saying hello.Last night, I obviously kept a close eye on him, and he was able to hide the phone under the pillow, obviously just waiting for an opportunity to escape, but fortunately he was discovered by myself.So he had to keep Shang Xuechen by his side all the time, not give him the slightest chance to escape, especially he didn't want him to see Xu Xueshi.In the phone call this morning, Xu Xueshi clearly mentioned that he wanted to send Shang Xuechen away.

Send Shang Xuechen abroad?Let's not mention the relationship between them, but why do you say you want to send Shang Xuechen abroad?Was it because he had already contacted Xu Xueshi during the period when he hadn't found Shang Xuechen?If they really agreed, then he couldn't let Shang Xuechen get too far away from him.You need to be able to touch him with your hands all the time, so that you can feel at ease.

Ji Shuping went out with his arms around Shang Xuechen. Before going out, Shang Xuechen was still struggling. When he saw the staff waiting at the door, he didn't struggle much because he was afraid that his movements would attract other tenants to watch. He just scolded Ji Shuping in his heart. Face.Because Shang Xuechen calmed down a bit, Ji Shuping carried him into the elevator smoothly.

Besides the two of them and Uncle Kang, two bodyguards also entered the elevator, Shang Xuechen began to twist restlessly again, Ji Shuping insisted on not letting go, "They are all in the elevator, you can let me go."

Ji Shuping still lowered his head and pressed his ear, whispering, "What? So that you can run as soon as you get out of the elevator."

Shang Xuechen turned his face and just brushed Ji Shuping's nose. He wanted to turn his head to avoid it, but he didn't want to lose his momentum in front of Ji Shuping. Isn't he just thicker-skinned than anyone else?

"Are the two tall and burly bodyguards standing in front of you a display? They are blocking the front, did I run to me?"

"Yes, actually I wasn't worried that you would run away after getting out of the elevator." Ji Shuping moved closer, causing Shang Xuechen to shrink his neck back, "I just like to hug you like this and let you cling to me."

Shang Xuechen wanted to reply him with a word or two, but before he could say anything, the elevator door opened, and the bright camera lights flashed in front of his eyes.Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping turned their heads to look at the same time, but they didn't expect that there were so many reporters, and they blocked the elevator door directly.Ji Shuping's first reaction was to take off his jacket and put it on Shang Xuechen's head. He was afraid that Shang Xuechen would not be able to see the flashlight, and he was afraid that Shang Xuechen's face would appear on the headlines tomorrow.

Uncle Kang, who was always behind them, did not expect so many reporters to come, and even blocked the elevator door, preventing them from closing the elevator door and going back upstairs. Obviously, there were not so many reporters when he went downstairs to check.Now is not the time to reflect, Uncle Kang walked around Ji Shuping and Shang Xuechen to block the two of them, and ordered the two bodyguards in front to block the reporters and open the way.

As soon as the elevator opened, Shang Xuechen was blinded by the flashlight, and then Ji Shuping directly covered him with his clothes.His heart was beating too fast, and he was trembling all over. He could only hear the voices of many people very close to him, and from time to time, someone pushed him, as if the reporter wanted to lift the clothes covering his head to see what happened.

Shang Xuechen's mind was in a mess, but fortunately Ji Shuping really kept his arms around him and never let go, leading him straight forward.It's just that there are too many reporters blocking them, and it is difficult to move two steps forward.I don't know how long I moved before the surroundings became quiet, but it seemed that I was still indoors, not in the car.

Ji Shuping was really blocked by reporters, and he was still hugging people, unable to move an inch.There is still a distance from the hotel lobby, so many people can't walk outside the hotel.Ji Shuping had no choice but to let the bodyguards open the way, and asked Uncle Kang to find the hotel staff to help.In the end, there was no other way, so with the help of the hotel staff, he hid in the office of the customer service department.

As soon as he entered the office, Ji Shuping lifted Shang Xuechen's clothes off his head and asked him, "How are you? Is there anything wrong?"

Shang Xuechen was stunned for a while before he came back to look at Ji Shuping, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Seeing that his breathing was unsteady, Ji Shuping stretched out his hand to bring him into his arms, and helped him stroke his back, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Shang Xuechen originally decided not to be coaxed by Ji Shuping anymore, but at this moment, he still wanted to stay in Ji Shuping's arms. There are really few people who can give him comfort like Ji Shuping, make him feel peaceful and depend on.He violated his vowed determination again, and leaned on Ji Shuping's shoulder, wanting him to hug him tightly.

Although there was no one else in the office, Uncle Kang followed in, and he didn't want to be a light bulb, but the situation was too anxious right now, and it couldn't be used as a place to talk about love, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Master?"

Shang Xuechen forgets himself for a moment, and when he lifted the clothes on his head, he only saw Ji Shuping and didn't notice that Uncle Kang was there.Hearing Uncle Kang's voice, he tried to pop out of Ji Shuping's arms.But Ji Shuping didn't let him leave, he held him tightly in his arms, and continued to pat him on the back, "It's okay. If you're scared, lean on him first."

After comforting Shang Xuechen, he looked up at Uncle Kang, "What's going on? Why are there so many reporters here, and the police just left not long ago."

Uncle Kang felt a little wronged, "Master, I don't know either. When I sent the police away, I saw that there were no people in the lobby. I didn't know that so many reporters suddenly appeared in a short while."

That is to say, someone gave reporters a break?They only found out about Shao Ling's death this morning, and the reporter rushed over immediately, and judging by their posture, they seemed to know that they had brought someone into the hotel.

"Find a way to arrange for us to leave." If someone really released the news to the reporter, then the reporter probably knew the car driven by Uncle Kang, "The hall can't leave, you arrange another car to take us away from the back door."

After Uncle Kang left, Ji Shuping asked Shang Xuechen worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Shang Xuechen nestled in his arms, "I..."

He originally wanted to say that I was fine, but before he could say it, Ji Shuping kissed his forehead and hugged him tightly, "It's fine, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shang Xuechen was angry, not because of the bad situation right now, nor because of Ji Shuping's hugging him tightly, but because he was angry with himself for wavering at Ji Shuping in a disappointing manner.
