John yelled at the other party on the phone, and finally ordered them to find the lost goods before dawn.

After hanging up the phone, he completely lost the idea of ​​enjoying a night out when he came out of the casino, and kept thinking about how to explain if something went wrong at work.

Standing at the door of 504, John took out his room card and prepared to open the door.

At this time, the feeling of being spied on that he had ignored came back.

Someone is following him...

John's movements did not stop, but he changed from taking out the room card to touching the gun.

His hand moved down from his chest, his face was expressionless, as if he didn't notice anything. When his hand was about to fall to his waist, a hand suddenly fell on his shoulder.

"!!!"

John's eyes widened, his body trembled, and he used all his strength to control himself from pulling out the gun and pointing it behind him.

The voice of the person behind him made him glad that he was not too impulsive.

"Mr. John, what's wrong with you? Why is there so much sweat on your head?"

An elegant and low voice sounded from behind him.

Xie Qi's face appeared in front of him.

There was almost half a head difference between the two of them. When the distance was close, John had to look up at the other person.

Seeing that it was Xie Qi coming over, John breathed a sigh of relief. The corners of his mouth stiffened, but he still smiled.

"It's you. Were you following me just now? Why didn't you call me?"

After saying this, John suddenly remembered whether he had exposed his identity when he called just now.

Although he didn't say the specific task, the information revealed in the words might make Xie Qi confused.

John couldn't help but clasped his hands hard and suppressed the idea of ​​asking directly.

Hearing his question, Xie Qi turned his head around and asked with a puzzled look: "When I went downstairs, I was a distance away from you, and I couldn't shout to stop you. I thought I would get closer and say hello. I didn't expect to scare you. This is my fault."

After saying this, he also showed an apologetic look.

Once Xie Qi wants to gain someone's trust or win someone's heart, it is extremely easy.

Whether it is his handsome appearance that can be regarded as handsome by both Chinese and Western aesthetics, or his noble, elegant and mysterious temperament, people who do not understand his nature are easily confused by his friendliness when they first meet him.

Thus, they feel that they are special and are used by him unknowingly.

In the end, after their value is drained and they are abandoned by Xie Qi, they will still be unable to extricate themselves from the good times they once had.

John was confused by Xie Qi's face and attitude, and let down his guard. The idea of ​​asking people to go back also disappeared.

"So that's the case. It's inconvenient for us to talk at the door. Come in with me. There is a good red wine inside. We can have a drink together."

He smiled meaningfully, then took out the room card and swiped it neatly, and the door opened.

The fifth floor of the cruise ship is a luxury suite reserved for distinguished guests. A room can be ten times larger than Xie Qi's.

As soon as he stepped in, John turned on the light.

A spacious and bright space appeared in front of Xie Qi. This was a suite. The outer living room was covered with a large soft and comfortable carpet, on which was placed a luxurious white sofa.

John took off his suit jacket and signaled Xie Qi to go in without changing shoes.

A quiet atmosphere is the easiest to breed ideas.

Xie Qi sat quietly on the sofa and saw John coming over with a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.

The mellow wine slowly poured into the glass, leaving some wine stains on the wall of the glass.

"Come, have a drink. This is Lafite from 2000. Although it is not from 1982, it is also called a century-old wine. I bought it from someone else at a high price."

John explained it specially for fear that Xie Qi did not understand the preciousness of this bottle of wine.

But Xie Qi had rich part-time experience and had worked as a waiter in a high-end restaurant. He knew the years, origins and tastes of various red and white wines. He only needed to smell it a little to know that John was deceived.

Although this wine is also Lafite, the vintage is not 2000, but 2005, which is the year before last.

Bordeaux was sunny that year, and the quality of the wine was also very high, but the aroma and taste could not be compared with that of 2000.

Not knowing whether the other party was really deceived or just pretending to be rich, Xie Qi did not expose his thoughts at present, but just smiled and took a sip.

After seeing him drink it, John wanted to ask him what he thought, but was interrupted by Xie Qi.

He looked around the room, turned his head and asked curiously: "Such a high-end room, one night should be very expensive, right?"

Xie Qi did not directly ask how John got in with his identity, after all, the room on this cruise ship is not something that can be booked with money.

Hearing Xie Qi's question, John also showed pride on his face.

He seemed to casually mention that the room price was 10,000 US dollars a night, and then said that it was nothing to him.

John also knew that his superficial identity was Brian's apprentice, and his words were not convincing, so he vaguely mentioned that he had other side jobs.

"Oh? What side job?"

Xie Qi looked very curious.

But seeing that John didn't want to mention it, he just said a few words and wanted to skip it.

But Xie Qi didn't want to let him go like this, he took out a few small balls from his arms. The small balls were made of glass and flashed colorful light under the light.

"It's meaningless for us to just drink. Do you want to play a little game with me? The winner can ask the other person a question, and the other person is not allowed to lie. How about it?"

Xie Qi's smile was particularly bright, which made people feel good.

Perhaps because of the influence of red wine and atmosphere, John thought about it and agreed.

Xie Qi saw that he was already a little tipsy, smiled, and briefly explained the rules.

"The game is very simple. You should have played it when you were a kid. It's about guessing odd or even numbers. One person holds a number of small balls in his hand, and the other person guesses whether the number inside is odd or even."

This game is indeed simple. John didn't say that he had never played it before, so he directly indicated that Xie Qi should start first.

Xie Qi hid his hand behind his back, and soon stretched it out in front of John.

His bony hands wrapped the small ball very well, without even a trace of it showing.

John raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and casually reported an odd number.

"Congratulations, you guessed it right."

Xie Qi smiled and opened his hand, with only one small ball inside.

"Haha, this game is indeed simple."

Although it is simple, winning the game does make people feel happy, so John asked a question casually.

"How old are you this year?"

Xie Qi tilted his head and said directly: "19."

"So young, I'm already 23."

John sighed, his eyes fell on Xie Qi's face and kept looking at him.

Xie Qi did not show his disgust for his rudeness, but handed the ball to John and asked him to start hiding the ball.

Soon, John also stretched out his hand in front of Xie Qi. Xie Qi seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "I guess it's an odd number."

"You are also very good."

John smiled and opened his hand, and there was also a small ball in it.

Xie Qi did not say anything in response to John's praise, but leaned forward, and the distance between the two of them was a little closer.

There was something inexplicable in his dark blue eyes, and he opened his lips and said lightly: "My question is, are you from the Church of Science?"
