Zhao Mian, Li Ci and others were waiting at the arrival gate. When they saw Shi Xiao and others coming out of the arrival gate, they immediately went to greet them.

When Zhao Mian saw her brother Zhao Cheng who had been missing for more than two months, her eyes filled with tears and she couldn't help crying.

Zhao Cheng didn't know how to comfort people, so he patted Zhao Mian's shoulder with his strong hands, "It's okay, sister, I'm back, don't worry."

It would have been fine if Zhao Cheng didn't comfort her, but once he did, Zhao Mian's tears flowed even more. Zhao Cheng panicked and hurried to find a tissue, but Zhao Mian smiled and wiped her tears, "Okay, don't look at me, I'm fine."

Li Ci also came up and looked at Shi Xiao. Shi Xiao looked a little haggard. In just two months, his skin had become much darker, and he had lost a lot of weight. His handsome face also looked more defined.

Li Ci looked at him, and the only words that came to his mind were "surviving a disaster". When he received news about him before, he was shocked, but he also felt that he was very far away from him. Now that he saw him in person, he truly realized that this person had almost disappeared from this world forever, and he would never see him again.

Li Ci lamented the impermanence of life, but in the end he just said calmly: "Long time no see."

Shi Xiao's attitude became much colder, "Long time no see."

During the two months that he was away, Li Ci definitely did not cooperate with the Shi family, and maybe he did something behind the scenes. Shi Xiao knew Li Ci too well to pretend to be happy about their reunion.

Shi Xiao continued to walk out of the airport. His most urgent thing now was to return to Shi Group immediately and deal with the things left behind in the past two months as soon as possible, and at the same time check if there was any suspicious behavior among the people in Shi Group.

Shi Xiao was originally facing Li Ci, just blocking Li Ci's line of sight so that Li Ci could not see Liu Lan behind him. At this time, Shi Xiao walked forward and saw Liu Lan, who was wearing a white dress and looked timid.

Li Ci was stunned. He didn't expect that after two months, Shi Xiao would bring back a woman. Who is this woman?

Just when Li Ci was stunned, Zhao Mian had caught up with him. She walked to Shi Xiao's side, copied the information she had prepared earlier onto Shi Xiao's tablet, and then handed it to Shi Xiao.

Shi Xiao was not idle either. While looking through the books, he asked, "Are you ready for the house I asked you to prepare?"

Zhao Mian nodded. Shi Xiao's steps were a bit too big, so Liu Lan could only trot to keep up. "It's a four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in the Jiangbian New District, on the 23rd floor. You can see the river view and the lighting is very good."

Shi Xiao nodded slightly. The house with four bedrooms and two living rooms was completely enough for Liu Lan to live in alone. This was not unfair to her.

When Li Ci heard them mention the house, he guessed that the house was prepared for Liu Lan. Moreover, it was impossible for her to live alone in such a big house. But if Shi Xiao wanted to accompany her, what should Yuan Shu do?

Li Ci couldn't help but worry about Yuan Shu.

Zhao Cheng’s case is relatively simple. He only focuses on one point: four bedrooms and two living rooms!

She lives in a four-bedroom apartment by herself? Is she going to use such a big house for running? He and his sister only live in a two-bedroom apartment!

Shi Xiao walked to the underground parking lot and was about to get into the Shi family's car when Li Ci stopped him and said, "Are you in such a hurry to get to the company? Come on, I've booked a private room for you in an uninhabited area. The band that's performing tonight is the recently popular Reef Band."

Shi Xiao frowned slightly. He had known Li Ci for so many years, how could he not know that he had gone to a place like an uninhabited area?

Moreover, based on Shi Xiao's understanding of Li Ci, there must be something fishy going on as this guy prevented him from returning to the company!

Shi Xiao refused coldly: "No, I have something else to do."

Li Ci did not stop him, but stood aside with his arms folded, "Three months ago, you drank a glass of wine in the no-man's land, which led to your marriage. Don't you want to see who did it?"

As expected, Shi Xiao stopped pulling the door handle and gave a cold look at the confident Li Ci.

Li Ci would never do anything that he was not sure of. He could say that, so he must have found some clues.

Shi Xiao was well-known in the upper class for his drinking capacity. It was rumored that he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and even if he mixed four or five kinds of alcohol together, he would not get drunk.

However, that night in the no-man's land, just a glass of Sky Castle made by the bartender made him lose his mind, and he even had sex with Yuan Shu. Then, he had to marry Yuan Shu.

A month after the marriage, he was busy dealing with the matters at hand and preparing to travel to Africa. He didn't investigate this matter and forgot about it. Now that he is back, it seems that he still needs to deal with it.

He let go of the door handle, a smile on his face, "Let's go then."

He turned around and told Zhao Mian: "Send Liu Lan back and stay with her tonight. Call me if you have anything."

Liu Lan's eyes were full of fear for the strangers in front of her. She was like a frightened deer. She clenched her fists, placed them in front of her chest, and stared at Shi Xiao, as if she didn't want him to leave.

Shi Xiao stood in front of her and said, "I've found a place for you to stay. My secretary will accompany you at night. As for Zhao Cheng, he will be watching downstairs. You don't have to worry."

Zhao Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect Shi Xiao to not let him follow him. He said anxiously, "Master, the no-man's land is dangerous. I want to follow you!"

Shi Xiao did not agree. After looking at Zhao Cheng, he pointed at the two people behind Zhao Cheng and said, "Just follow me. You just need to take good care of Liu Lan."

Zhao Cheng had no choice but to give up and watched Shi Xiao get into Li Ci's car.

Most people come to the no-man's land to listen to music and drink. Zhang Zhang and Shi Lu have already had two glasses of wine. They are both a little tipsy and can't help but twist their bodies to the rhythm of the music.

In such a lively atmosphere, Yuan Shu listened to the band playing on the stage while occasionally taking a sip of the wine in front of him.

She was more interested in the man sitting behind the singer and playing the drums. The drummer had strong wrists, good control of strength, and a full sense of rhythm. If he was brought back to the military camp, he would definitely be a good drummer!

Before we knew it, it was midnight and the atmosphere reached its climax. Countless people crowded into the dance floor in front of the stage and danced to their heart's content. The corridors and aisles were also packed with people.

When it comes to the most exciting part, the lighting technician in No Man's Land will sweep the searchlight across the entire venue, and the people where the searchlight falls will be invited to the stage.

A dazzling white beam of light swept across the entire venue and finally stopped in front of Yuan Shu's booth.

The whole audience screamed continuously, and Zhang Zhang and Shi Lu swayed their bodies excitedly to the music. Zhang Zhang took Yuan Shu's arm and pulled her onto the stage under the lights.

Yuan Shu had experienced such scenes too many times and was not afraid of the public's gaze at all. However, she was not used to such a noisy environment and did not know what to do after going on stage.

Shi Lu followed Yuan Shu considerately and explained, "After midnight, it's time to dance. Just dance to the rhythm of the music."

Don't worry, sister-in-law. Stand at the back and we will block it for you."

Yuan Shu nodded. Yuan Shu was good at martial arts, but asking her to dance would be more painful than killing her!

But this is actually the rule of the game here. It would be inappropriate not to go on stage, so she had no choice but to go on stage.

The venue was much more lively than before. Li Ci, with Shi Xiao and two bodyguards, led by their agent and with the bodyguards clearing the way, walked towards the box opposite the stage.

As soon as he sat down at the booth, Shi Xiao saw a familiar cup of "Castle in the Sky" made up of three colors on the table next to him.

But there was a difference between this cup of Castle in the Sky and the one that made him drunk, because he remembered very clearly that the cup he drank had a red cherry at the bottom of the cup, but this one did not.

Just as Shi Xiao was about to ask, the bodyguard beside him suddenly came closer and said, "Master, the person on the stage looks like your wife!"
