half thorns, half joy

"who is she?"

Listening to Tang Xuan's question, Ke Ke put her hand on the girl's shoulder and smiled softly, "She, she is our little helper."

Tang Xuan took a rough look, and found that the girl in front of her was about to become an adult, her face was still childish, her skin was sunburned, and her hair was rather dry. She didn't look like Coco, but her eyes were particularly determined.

Although she was full of doubts about this strange girl, she believed that Ke Ke was not the kind of person who was so boring as to make jokes, so she walked over and sat down opposite Ke Ke, and asked in a calmer tone as much as possible: "What's going on."

Ke Ke looked at the girl, patted the girl on the shoulder, and said softly: "This sister is also a good person, tell her what you told me."

"En." The girl gritted her teeth and began to narrate, "My name is Tian Jiangyan. I am eighteen today. My family is in Honghe Village. I also have a sister named Tian Yuying. She came to the city to work seven years ago and never went back. I'm here this time to find her."

Although the girl had an accent, it didn't affect Tang Xuan's ability to hear clearly.Tang Xuan felt that an answer was about to come out, and she couldn't help asking, "Do you know where your sister...before she disappeared?"

"I know." The girl nodded, "My sister called us many times at that time, and she said that the place where she works is called Xingda Hotel."

really.

Tang Xuan stared at the girl and asked again, "Are you sure, the place where your sister was working at that time was called Xingda Hotel?"

The girl nodded heavily, "Sure, I was still young at that time, just in the sixth grade. When my sister called, she specifically told me how to write the word Xingda. She also said that when I finished the exam for junior high school, she Just take me to the city to play."

"Before that time, there is no news of her sister." Ke Ke added, "People in her family came out to look for him, but Xingda said they had never seen this person, and went to the police station to call the police, and it was handled as a disappearance case. of."

Tang Xuan frowned. The level of sloppyness was very similar to that of her cousin's case back then.My cousin, who was in good shape, suddenly committed suicide by jumping off the building, but there was no further investigation or follow-up. This incident was so muddled.

"And then, did you go to the police station again?"

"I went, but they said they couldn't find it, so they told us to go back. Our family is in the countryside, and there is still a lot of farm work to do every day. There is no place to stay in the city, so we can only go back."

Tang Xuan smashed the table angrily, "Since we already know that the person was lost at the Xingda Hotel, let's check the Xingda Hotel. I think this group of people must belong to the same group!"

Ke Ke pushed the milk tea she had ordered earlier in front of Tang Xuan, and comforted Tang Xuan, "Calm down first, in fact, this matter is not necessarily what you said, the conditions back then were no better than now, migrant workers didn't sign the contract, and they would be fine if they went in." It’s done, just say that the person was lost in the Xingda Hotel, and it’s okay if they don’t admit it, and there is no surveillance on the road, so it’s hard to find someone lost.”

"But...but we can't just let it go." Tang Xuan's eyes turned red with anger.

Outsiders will never know how painful it is to lose a loved one suddenly.

Seeing that Tang Xuan was moved, the girl wiped away tears herself.

Seeing why all the seniors and juniors were crying, Ke Ke quickly said: "Okay, okay, let's get together today, we don't come to hold our heads and cry, we're here to discuss, what should we do next, we're here united."

"...Mmm." Tang Xuan took a deep breath and calmed down, "What did you mean when you said she was our little helper?"

Ke Ke: "When her sister disappeared, their family reported to the police, and they had a criminal record at the police station. This time she came out to look for her sister again. I want her to take the lead in digging out what happened back then."

Sounds okay, but...

"A case that the police station didn't pay attention to back then, but now that it's brought up, will it be ignored?" Tang Xuan expressed doubts, "Besides, the Xingda Hotel has been fine for so many years. I don't believe that the Xiao family has nothing to do with the police station. At least, There are their people in there. If we do this, will we expose ourselves?"

Ke Ke's serious face flashed fiercely, "It doesn't matter, no matter what the price is, I must seize this opportunity."

Tang Xuan: "Opportunity?"

"Yes, I heard the news that the purge activities above have begun. This is the only chance for us to start digging out the history of that year. If we miss this time, the Xiao family will join forces with the police again, and it will be difficult for us to find The truth, let those sinners be brought to justice."

Tang Xuan fell silent.Although she doesn't know much about the situation, as a high-achieving student in the university, she still knows the history books very well. If the upper levels really carry out the purge activities, then everything will be much easier.

Thinking of one day being able to clear up her cousin's filthy reputation and make the person who killed her cousin punishable, Tang Xuan immediately became excited.

Tang Xuan: "Then what should I do next?"

Coco: "You don't have to do anything."

Tang Xuan was puzzled, "Why? Aren't we going to take action?"

Ke Ke nodded, "It's time to act, but you can't move. Your position is too critical. You need to investigate many things. We can't let them notice your existence."

What Ke Ke said made sense, but Tang Xuan was always aggrieved that she couldn't fight on the front line. This matter was so important to her, she didn't want to just wait like this.

"Don't make that expression either." Ke Ke could see Tang Xuan's reluctance, and smiled, "Didn't you already become Xiao Zihan's secretary? Remember to copy all the documents you handled. On this basis, you can get Get as many things related to Xiao Mingyuan as you can get."

Tang Xuan pursed her lips, "Okay."

Thinking of Xiao Zihan's trust and love for her, a trace of guilt flashed across her heart.

Ke Ke asked again: "You and Xiao Zihan, the relationship is not bad recently, does he still trust you as before?"

Tang Xuan: "Yes."

Coco: "Keep this state, it's best to make him trust you enough to hand over the Xiao family's secrets to you. Remember, the more he trusts you, the more helpful it will be to us."

Tang Xuan: "But... Xiao Zihan really doesn't seem to know anything. He never hides from me. I didn't find anything wrong with him."

Ke Ke narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Even if he has no problems, you can't take it lightly. Although it seems that Xiao Mingyuan didn't let him participate in those shady things, he is the heir of the Xiao family after all. Those dirty deals, Sooner or later it will be handed over to him."

Ke Ke's attitude was very strong, Tang Xuan pinched the hand under the table, and after a long time, she hummed softly.

"Tang Xuan, you have to remember that what we bear is blood feud. It's not a joke. You can't let those people die for nothing just because of a momentary sympathy or something."

These words were so serious that Tang Xuan felt panicked when she heard them. She closed her eyes and drove out the distracting thoughts together with Xiao Zihan.

Opening her eyes again, Tang Xuan's eyes were firm and determined, "I know, don't worry."

After discussing some plans and details with Ke Ke, Tang Xuan left the milk tea shop. She was full of thoughts when she came, and she was still full of thoughts when she left.

After returning home, Xiao Zihan hadn't come back yet, so Tang Xuan went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles and sat at the dining table to eat.

Just after taking a few bites, the phone rang.

Tang Xuan took out and looked at Xiao Zihan's phone.After staring at Xiao Zihan's name flashing on the phone screen for several seconds, Tang Xuan took a mouthful of hot noodles and answered, "Hello?"

Xiao Zihan's voice came from the phone, "Xiaoxuan, it's me."

Tang Xuan: "Yes, I know."

"Well, I'm not going back tonight." Xiao Zihan's voice sounded a little helpless, "Jinyu is drunk, and he's drinking like crazy right now. I have to take care of him."

"Is he all right?"

"It's okay, it's just that we broke up, and now I'm really broken in love."

"Really?"

"Well. It's a long story. I'll tell you in detail tomorrow. Tonight... hey, what are you doing?" There was a sound of glass bottles breaking from Xiao Zihan's side, followed by Xiao Zihan Hastily said: "Xiaoxuan, I won't tell you now, this ancestor broke his hand, I will send him to the hospital to bandage it."

Before Tang Xuan could say yes, Xiao Zihan hung up the phone, apparently in a hurry.

Tang Xuan didn't have much appetite in the first place, but when she was interrupted by a phone call halfway through her meal, she lost her appetite even more.She simply poured out the remaining noodles and washed the dishes. Tang Xuan sat on the sofa in a daze.

She thought about what Ke Ke said in the afternoon.

From the day she got close to Xiao Zihan, she has been preparing for this matter, but recently, she seems to be more and more soft-hearted. She used to calmly analyze Xiao Zihan and get along with him in the most suitable way, but recently In time, she seemed to really like living with Xiao Zihan.

Tang Xuan's mind was in a mess, she raised her head and let out a long sigh.

The moment she lowered her head, Tang Xuan's gaze landed on Xiao Zihan's computer, which was casually placed on the tea table.

Could there be something in Xiao Zihan's computer?
Tang Xuan swallowed nervously, stretched out her arms, and hugged Xiao Zihan's computer.

After booting, it will display that a login password is required.

When Tang Xuan used Xiao Zihan's computer before, Xiao Zihan had already turned it on and unlocked it, so when she saw the password interface, she was taken aback.

Tang Xuan tried to enter the password to unlock Xiao Zihan's phone, but the computer prompted: The password is wrong.

If it's not a mobile phone password, what would it be?

Tang Xuan thought of a few combinations of numbers and English letters, but after inputting, it showed that the password was wrong.Xiao Zihan's computer had a setting that would shut down the computer if the password was incorrect many times, so Tang Xuan didn't dare to try again and put the computer aside helplessly.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zihan came back.

Tang Xuan had just finished her breakfast and was about to go to work, when she saw Xiao Zihan entering the room with bloodshot eyes, she showed distressed eyes, "Cai Jinyu is alright, you must have taken care of him all night."

"It's almost the same, it's really noisy. When he recovers this time, I must ask him to do a few projects for me to compensate for my mental loss. I was going crazy because of crying, making noise and getting hurt last night. gone."

Tang Xuan helped Xiao Zihan get the slippers and put them on, and thoughtfully suggested, "You're so tired, I don't think you'll go to work today. You can just rest at home, and let me do whatever work you have."

Xiao Zihan yawned and waved his hands, "That won't work, if I don't sit in charge, what if you are bullied."

Tang Xuan's heart warmed up, "We are a civilized society now, I go to my class and do what I should do, how can anyone bully me. But you, don't hold on, take a shower and go to sleep. .Even if you just sleep in the morning."

Xiao Zihan was really tired. After listening to Tang Xuan's suggestion, he also compromised, "Alright then, I'll take a nap for a few hours until noon."

"Don't worry, the sky won't fall without you." Tang Xuan coaxed and pushed Xiao Zihan into the bathroom, squeezed toothpaste onto Xiao Zihan's toothbrush, and the moment she handed the toothbrush over, she acted as if nothing had happened. Said: "By the way, my computer had some problems last night. I want to use your computer, but I don't know your computer password, so I can't use it."
