The Wenhao system helped me become a killer

Chapter 377: The Heartbeat of the Past

Shen Wenjiao didn't have any other thoughts about Xiao Lei's departure. In fact, although she already knew Xiao Lei's original identity in secret, she didn't really hate him that much.

Xiao Lei probably grew up thinking he was Chinese, so he did some good things to help the civilians in the police station in the concession. After knowing his identity, Xiao Lei did not immediately turn his gun to help the Japanese even though he was confused.

Of course, these were all told to Shen Wenjiao by Jian Xingzhi. Because Xiao Lei trusted Jian Xingzhi very much, Jian Xingzhi knew everything about him. Of course, when Jian Xingzhi approached Xiao Lei, his purpose was not simple at the beginning. He just had his eyes on the transportation line of the Xiao family.

It was only after Xiao An was instigated to rebel that Xiao Lei's role became dispensable.

"Then I would like to thank Inspector Xiao~" Shen Wenjiao said with a smile and raised her glass to express her gratitude.

None of the three of them could cook and they were too lazy to go to the trouble, so they ordered a table of dishes from the restaurant they often went to.

While Shen Wenjiao went to order food, she had already assigned Jian Xingzhi the task of having someone monitor and follow Xiao Lei.

"You're welcome. I'm just a rough guy. It would be a waste if all these books were left to me! I wish you could write more books in the future, Mrs. Jane. I've always been a loyal fan of yours."

Xiao Lei drank two glasses of white wine, perhaps thinking that some things would be difficult to say after he left, so he spoke while drunk.

"Xingzhi is so lucky, it's really enviable~ We don't have a chance, alas~ good girls are hard to come by!" When Xiao Lei said this, his tone sounded a little resentful and unwilling.

A beautiful, simple, gentle, talented, and a female author that he likes very much, no man can help but be moved. Even if Xiao Lei has never planned to get married, he can't say that he has never been moved. Unfortunately, Shen Wenjiao acted too quickly. Before he realized his true feelings, she was already married.

Xiao Lei knew that many people had their eyes on Shen Wenjiao. Alas, in the end, Jian Xingzhi acted too quickly, and Shen Wenjiao was too homely and low-key.

Shen Wenjiao: Oh, she herself didn't even know that so many people liked her! Haha, thank you, thank you~

Jian Xingzhi raised his head and glanced at Xiao Lei, who looked a little tipsy. Then he looked at the wine the two men had drunk on the table and rolled his eyes at him.

With just this little bit of wine, for Xiao Lei, who often attends various banquets and feasts, it is just a base to moisten his throat a little, but it is far from enough to make him drunk.

Xiao Lei poured himself another glass of wine and clinked glasses with Jian Xingzhi with a little apology. A friend's wife should not be bullied. He was a little offended just now, but fortunately Xingzhi was not angry.

Shen Wenjiao can be quite thick-skinned sometimes. She had known for a long time that Xiao Lei had many female confidants, and she had never thought that this guy would have any feelings for her.

Although Shen Wenjiao has traveled through time for so many years and has witnessed various ways of getting along between men and women during the Republic of China period, her own experience is still very simple.

"Hehe, I think so too. Brother Jian got a great deal by marrying me! I am both civil and martial~" In order to match the atmosphere, Shen Wenjiao also drank a few glasses of wine with the other two friends as they had a small gathering.

Shen Wenjiao had never exercised before, so she felt a little dizzy at the moment. Her face was a little flushed, and she felt a little dizzy unconsciously. She blurted out some boastful words.

"Hehe, capable of both literature and martial arts?" Xiao Lei looked up and down with some suspicion at Shen Wenjiao's slender wrist that was exposed as she held the wine glass.

It must be fake. With such thin arms, he could break them with a little force. It's probably just some fancy moves~

Jian Xingzhi was not worried that Xiao Lei would see anything. His wife was born to be deceptive in appearance. Even if he went out and said that she was a tigress who could lift a tripod, no one would believe him.

"Are you full? Leave quickly after eating. By the way, remember to deliver the dishes and chopsticks to the restaurant at the corner of the street later." Jian Xingzhi rudely ordered Inspector Xiao to do the work. He thought he could just wipe his mouth and leave after eating. What a sweet dream!

Jian Xingzhi sent Shen Wenjiao back to her room and settled her down. He was much less polite to Xiao Lei. Why should he show any good face to the person who was eyeing his wife?

"Hehe, sorry, sorry. Xingzhi, I just spoke out of turn. I promise I don't have any other ideas." Even if I had one, it's useless now, Xiao Lei thought to himself with self-mockery.

"I know. By the way, be careful when you go out. It's always good to keep some precautions." Jian Xingzhi patted Xiao Lei's shoulder and said with some concern on his face.

Jian Xingzhi was giving this as a reminder and also as a test. He hoped that Xiao Lei's actions would be more obvious so that the people he arranged could discover something.

"Thank you~" Xiao Lei didn't know that Jian Xingzhi had set his eyes on the wealth intercepted by his father, and he was thanking Jian Xingzhi with great emotion! It was really difficult for Xingzhi to explain to him like this~

Unfortunately, Inspector Xiao Lei's emotion was quickly ended by the slamming of the door.

"You're welcome. If you're too poor to eat in the future, I can still introduce you to a suitable job."

Xiao Lei: Thank you, but this is really not necessary. Although he did not inherit most of the Xiao family's property, he is not the kind of person who is short of money.

Xiao Lei carried a heavy food box filled with empty bowls and plates, and went to the store Jian Xingzhi had asked him to return the bowls and chopsticks. He didn't notice that the waiter who took over from him looked at him a few more times.

Shen Wenjiao had no idea that Inspector Xiao Lei had once worked as an errand boy. She returned to her room half drunk and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Wenjiao: Who knew this liquor was so strong! She had drunk red wine a few times before, and it was no problem at all!

Perhaps the alcohol content of this white wine cannot be compared with that of red wine, and Shen Wenjiao always pretends to drink red wine and doesn't drink many glasses, so it's difficult for her to get drunk.

Originally, Shen Wenjiao's biological clock was a bit messed up. She was energetic at night, but couldn't get up in the morning. After getting a little tipsy, she slept better than anyone else, and didn't even notice that Jian Xingzhi had gone out again.

Shen Wenjiao slept very comfortably. She woke up in a daze to the sound of pots and pans making breakfast downstairs.

I looked at my watch. It was a little past five in the morning. It was just getting light outside, and Jian Xingzhi next to me was still sleeping soundly.

I have to say that it is very comfortable to have a good sleep according to the normal schedule. Shen Wenjiao is not going to continue sleeping now that she is awake.
