After the two of them finished their dinner, Ji Fengfan went back to the study, while Xia Qingqian quickly cleaned up the dishes. She looked at the plate of fried shrimps, only two or three of them were left on the plate. She seemed to have only used two chopsticks to pick them up. There wasn't much choy sum left, and most of the beef had been eaten...

Xia Qingqian raised the corner of her mouth silently, glanced in the direction of the study, and muttered, "You said this is bland and that is sweet, but you ate a lot."

She put the dishes in the dishwasher. Then she cleaned the kitchen, wiped the table, and put her apron back in its place. She often helped her parents with housework before, so these things were nothing to her, and she quickly cleaned them all up.

She took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was already past nine o'clock, so she had to hurry back. She walked gently to the door of the study room, which was open. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Ji Fengfan sitting behind the desk, staring intently at the computer screen.

He was still wearing the shirt and trousers he wore during the day, but his hair was a little messy, which made him look more intimate. Maybe it was because the light in the study was too soft, or maybe the two of them had just had dinner together at the same table. Xia Qingqian looked at Ji Fengfan sitting behind the computer and felt that he looked more humane than the serious and cold one in the company.

While Xia Qingqian was in a daze, Ji Fengfan looked up from the computer. Their eyes met in the air. Xia Qingqian smiled awkwardly and walked in. "Boss Ji, the kitchen is cleaned up. I'll go back first. Do you want to eat anything tomorrow? I'll prepare it in advance."

Ji Fengfan nodded, "Well, I'm not picky about food."

Xia Qingqian felt even more embarrassed. She turned around and prepared to take a taxi back to her small apartment. Suddenly, she remembered that she didn't have Ji Fengfan's contact information yet, so she turned back and said, "Um... Mr. Ji..."

"Anything else?" Ji Fengfan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Can you add me on WeChat? And can you give me a key so that I can come early to prepare dinner if I don't have to work?" Xia Qingqian was worried that he would think she had some intentions, so she raised her hand and hurriedly assured him, "Don't worry, I will only be in the kitchen and living room and will never enter the room. I will also send you a WeChat message before I come and will not come directly."

She really felt that she had nothing to do recently, so she could come early to prepare dinner and eat it when Ji Fengfan got home from get off work. After eating, she could go back early. Otherwise, squatting at the gate every time to wait was really... a bit difficult to wait...

Ji Fengfan stood up, walked out from behind the desk, and stopped in front of Xia Qingqian. Xia Qingqian thought he was unwilling, "It doesn't matter. If it's inconvenient, forget it. Then... add WeChat. If you have to work overtime, I'll come later." Xia Qingqian looked at Ji Fengfan's silent expression, not knowing what he meant, "Delete me after a month..." She thought he was unwilling to add WeChat, and thought that he could delete her after a month. Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Ji Fengfan.

"Cell phone." Ji Fengfan stretched out his hand towards Xia Qingqian.

Xia Qingqian reacted and quickly took out her phone, unlocked it, opened WeChat, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to scan me or do I scan you?"

Ji Fengfan took out his phone and said, "I'll scan you."

Xia Qingqian hurriedly clicked on her QR code and handed it over, waiting with a smile.

Ji Fengfan glanced at her and scanned the QR code. Xia Qingqian soon received a friend request. When she clicked on it, the profile picture was a landscape painting, nothing special. She clicked yes and put away her phone. "I'll be leaving first, Mr. Ji." After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute." Xia Qingqian just walked to the door and opened it when she was stopped by Ji Fengfan. Then she watched Ji Fengfan walk towards her with his long straight legs wrapped in a suit. Then he bent down to operate the fingerprint lock for a while, raised his head and said to her, "Okay, press your finger."

Xia Qingqian blankly pressed her right index finger on it, and it made a beeping sound.

Ji Fengfan said again, "Press it again."

Xia Qingqian obediently pressed her finger on it again, and the "beep" sound was heard again.

She couldn't help but ask, "Boss Ji, what are you doing..."

"Don't you need a key?" Ji Fengfan asked back, "If you don't have a key, I'll record your fingerprint."

Xia Qingqian realized belatedly that she had the fingerprint of Ji Fengfan's apartment door.

"Then I'll be leaving first, Mr. Ji."

"Yeah." The door of the apartment closed in front of the two of them. Ji Fengfan turned around and went back to the study, while Xia Qingqian quickly jumped and ran to press the elevator button.

On the computer in the study, the screen was paused on a video. Ji Fengfan was watching the surveillance video that Assistant Wu had brought back from the hotel. After watching it for more than an hour, he had not found any unusual people in the surveillance, but he was sure that the surveillance video on the 12nd floor was deleted from 32 pm on the evening of the celebration banquet to noon the next day. The person who deleted the video had a little bit of technology and made it look like the surveillance was broken and did not record it, but Ji Fengfan could see the traces of deletion at a glance.

But he still couldn't be sure who did it. The last time he went back, he didn't feel like it was done by someone from Ji's house. However, Ji Fengchuan kept persuading him to go back and help. He didn't know how much of his sincerity was and it was hard to judge.

Ji Fengfan returned to the computer, pressed the play button and continued watching. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure. He pressed the pause button, staring at the screen on the computer with a sharp gaze and a frown.

In the picture, a somewhat familiar figure was frozen there.

She was wearing a black slim-fitting dress, with her wavy chestnut hair casually spread out, covering most of her face. She was leaning unsteadily against the wall of the hotel corridor, and her facial expression was not very clear, but she seemed uncomfortable and a little anxious.

The person Ji Fengfan was paying attention to was none other than Xia Qingqian, who had just left his house. The reason why he noticed her at first sight was because she was wearing the same outfit that night when she splashed red wine all over him.

So, impressed.

Ji Fengfan rewound the footage before Xia Qingqian entered the elevator and watched it over and over again. He saw her take the juice handed to her by a girl, then stand and chat with the girl for a while. Then the girl handed her something, and she walked out of the banquet hall and walked towards the elevator. She only took a few steps and seemed to be uncomfortable. She stood against the wall of the corridor for a while, and then continued to walk towards the elevator. After getting on the elevator, her figure could not be found in the video, and he was not sure where she went.

Ji Fengfan frowned and his expression did not look very good.

He was now a little curious about where Xia Qingqian went that night. He specifically looked at the surveillance footage on the first floor and found that she should not have left the hotel.
