Zhou Yi fled all the way back home. She knew that she had to stay calm at this moment and never let anyone see that there was something wrong with her.

"Han Yao was killed by Gui... She was supposed to die tonight... It has nothing to do with me... I just helped relieve her pain..."

"Yes... She should thank me... Otherwise, her death might be more painful than this... She should thank me..."

Zhou Yi kept numbing her mind, but her palms were still cold and numb. After all, she had killed someone and she must still be feeling guilty and scared.

Zhou Yi glanced at her phone with trembling eyes... Three days left... She still had three days to find a way to keep herself alive...

There must be another way...

...

Jun Li barely woke up at 4:30 in the afternoon. He slept from a little after six to a little after four, which meant he slept for ten hours. During this time, Bai Ze held him like this the whole time. Even though he couldn't fall asleep, he just looked at his face quietly.

"wake up?"

"Hmm... I was a little sleepy..."

Jun Li's voice was a little hoarse. He propped himself up, yawned, and glanced at his phone.

"I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth. I have to have dinner with Jiang Jincheng after six o'clock."

Jun Li casually rubbed Bai Ze's face and was about to go to the bathroom with his clothes. Bai Ze frowned slightly and then immediately reacted: "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as eating, right?"

Jun Li paused, a little surprised that Bai Ze could react so quickly, and then he nodded slowly: "I guess he was seen doing what happened last night, and he suddenly asked us to have dinner because he must have seen us."

"What are you going to do?"

Bai Ze lowered his eyes and buttoned his clothes while talking to himself: "Tell him everything? What's the point of telling an ordinary person?"

Jun Li didn't speak immediately, but just sighed and shook his head: "I'll think about it."

Seeing that he had already turned into the bathroom, Bai Ze didn't say anything else. He squatted down and looked for his pants that Jun Li had thrown away somewhere.

"Jun Li! Don't get on my bed if you dare to throw my clothes around again!"

"cough…"

Jun Li choked on the toothpaste, scratched his head guiltily, and quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face.

He put the towel on his shoulders and then pulled Bai Ze up and pushed him to the bathroom: "Wife, go wash up, I'll find your pants. If there's anything you haven't found, I'll help you look for it."

Bai Ze rolled his eyes and went into the bathroom. Before closing the door, he said, "I haven't found any underwear or socks yet. You can handle it yourself!"

"Snapped!"

As soon as the bathroom door was closed, Jun Li hurriedly lay on the ground to look for his underwear. Fortunately, he finally found it under the bed. Jun Li didn't even know how he had thrown it down there last night.

He actually doesn't like sleeping naked, but he likes to watch Bai Ze sleeping naked, mainly because it makes it convenient for him to touch her.

Bai Ze was sleeping soundly, but he insisted on taking off his clothes and stripping him naked and hugging him. At first, Bai Ze was reluctant, but later he couldn't stand Jun Li's moving around in the middle of the night, so he finally decided to just sleep naked.

But Jun Li had a bad habit of taking off other people's clothes and throwing them around. Every time, Bai Ze would worry about not being able to find socks today or underwear tomorrow.

After Bai Ze finished washing up, Jun Li knelt on one knee to put on Bai Ze's socks and shoes to apologize. They waited until six o'clock when Jiang Jincheng sent their location information before they prepared to go out.

The barbecue restaurant that Jiang Jincheng booked is not far from the school, just two blocks away.

When Jun Li came over, Jiang Jincheng was already sitting with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette and looking at the menu.

"Officer Jiang."

Jun Li greeted him directly and sat down with Bai Ze naturally. Jiang Jincheng said "hmm" softly, then immediately put out the cigarette and looked at Bai Ze again.

"What do you want to eat? Order whatever you want. It's my treat."

Jun Li took the menu and skillfully selected the shrimps that Bai Ze liked to eat, but specially noted that it should be less spicy, less oily, and without cilantro. He himself didn't dislike anything, but he had to serve Bai Ze well first. After all, he couldn't eat anything. But Bai Ze really couldn't give in. His little mouth was very picky and needed him to serve him.

"Okay, my wife and I don't eat much, so we just ordered some. Officer Jiang can just take care of the order. I'm not picky."

"Oh, there's more."

Jun Li took a sip of tea and laughed: "I don't drink alcohol. My wife doesn't like the taste of alcohol."

After Jun Li ordered the menu, he handed it directly to Jiang Jincheng. Jiang Jincheng was relieved to hear him say that. He was worried that he might not be able to entertain Jun Li well this time, so he took out two thousand yuan specifically, in case Jun Li wanted to drink something and he wouldn't be able to afford it.

Now, Jun Li took the initiative to say that he would not drink, which saved trouble and money. Jiang Jincheng said happily: "I finally came out for this trip and you ruined the fun by doing this."

In his heart, he was still secretly laughing at Jun Li for being a henpecked husband. He saved his wallet. What could three people order at a food stall? Even if they ordered a flower, it would not be more than a thousand!

Jiang Jincheng wanted to see what Jun Li ordered. He had already planned to have a meaty meal today, such as abalone and lobster, to enjoy.

Sautéed big prawns with soy sauce 238 yuan/catties (four pieces)

Salt-grilled giant squid 68 yuan/portion (two portions)

Three cups of abalone 198 yuan/portion (three portions)

Thai style pineapple shrimp fried rice 128/portion

Freshly squeezed strawberry juice 30/cup (three cups)

Meal fee: 15/person (three persons)

Paper napkins 10/piece

Seasoning 10/portion

Jiang Jincheng: …

"cough…"

Jiang Jincheng held the menu in his hand and forced a smile. He called the waiter and pointed at the napkin and said, "I brought one myself. Can this be returned?"

The waiter pointed at Jun Li opposite him with some embarrassment, only to see that Jun Li had already taken off the napkin, crossed his legs and wiped the mud splashed on his leather shoes.

Jun Li just finished wiping and threw the paper into the trash can and then noticed that Jiang Jincheng and the waiter were looking at him. He looked at them a little confused and then whispered: "No... why are you looking at me?"

Jiang Jincheng: …

"Ahem... it's okay... I... just give me twenty skewers of lamb, ten skewers of beef and a serving of fried noodles."

Upon hearing this, the waiter smiled and nodded, took the menu and went to the kitchen to urge the food to be prepared.

Jun Li's main point is that he would just pretend to be deaf and dumb unless Jiang Jincheng spoke first. Under the table, Jun Li's hand was playing with Bai Ze's fingers from time to time, and his other hand was supporting his face, but his expression was calm.

Jiang Jincheng drank his tea painfully while silently calculating the price. Those four big sand turtles alone would cost him more than nine hundred!

It's broken! Two thousand fucking dollars is not enough for this young couple!

"Don't you want to chat? There's no point in just sitting there. Officer Jiang is treating me, so I can't play with my phone."

So I can only play with my wife's fingers secretly under the table...

Jun Li pinched Bai Ze's fingertips with his right hand. He was so nervous that he couldn't help but speak.

Jiang Jincheng finally remembered that he had spent so much money to come here just to ask questions. He gently put down the teacup and then laughed.

"I've been catching up on a lot of horror movies lately. I wonder if Mr. Jun is interested."

Jiang Jincheng stared at Jun Li quietly. Jun Li knew he was going to do this, so he just smiled and replied, "I seldom watch horror movies. I have been brave since I was a child, so I don't find them scary no matter how scary they are. Besides, those movies are too fake, and I feel sleepy when I watch them."

"Oh? Too fake?"

Jiang Jincheng sat up straight and leaned closer: "So what Mr. Jun means is... you have seen the real thing so you think the movie is too fake, right?"

Jun Li's face froze for a moment but he immediately regained his composure. Jiang Jincheng was indeed a criminal policeman, speaking so sharply and picking on loopholes.

"It's just that you can tell at a glance that they are special effects. It makes me sleepy to watch those 50-cent special effects."

Jun Li saw a pot of fried rice being served and immediately changed the subject: "Come on Officer Jiang, I'll give you a bowl of rice to fill your mouth... oh no... fill your stomach."

Jiang Jincheng's bowl was taken away before he even opened his mouth. Jun Li filled his bowl with a large spoon and pressed it down very firmly as if he was afraid that he would not be full.

"Hey, hey, hey! Enough is enough!"

Jiang Jincheng tremblingly took the 128 yuan portion of shrimp fried rice and finished it with tears in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and thought that he would have to order two big shrimps when they came.

"Why don't you eat?"

Jiang Jincheng took two more bites of rice and looked at Jun Li and Bai Ze, who had no intention of picking up their chopsticks. Suddenly, he felt a little suspicious.

"We're not hungry yet, Officer Jiang, eat first and leave us alone."
