Well of Mystery

After tactfully expressing that she was helpless, the translator took a step ahead and left.Leaving Bai Xiuqi to spend time alone, waiting for the time to make an appointment to remove the stitches.

With nothing else to do, he took out his mobile phone and called the grave relatives in the countryside, asking them to look through the family tree of the Bai family three generations ago when they are free, to see if there is an ancestor with the same name and surname as himself.

The grave relatives agreed very readily, but said that the recent busy farming season may take a few days.After talking on the phone, Bai Xiuqi knew that it was useless to struggle now, so she put this matter aside for the time being and called the waiter to check out.

Before, it was a male waiter who took the order for Bai Xiuqi, but now it was a young girl in her teens who delivered the bill.For some reason, the little girl blushed, and handed the bill to Bai Xiuqi with both hands, not even daring to look at him.

Bai Xiuqi knew that something was wrong, so he just held the bill and didn't move.

Sure enough, after a while, the little girl asked timidly, "Excuse me, are you Teacher Bai Xiuqibai?"

"……I'm."

Although she thought about lying, Bai Xiuqi couldn't bear to pierce the pink girl's heart, so she hesitated and nodded.

The girl's eyes lit up all of a sudden, as if she saw an idol: "Mr. Bai, can you do me a favor?"

Isn't it just to sign an autograph or take a photo together? As for being so cautious?I am not a man-eating tiger...

To be honest, the world of painting and calligraphy is no better than the idol entertainment industry. Bai Xiuqi has few chances of being asked for his autograph in this life, but he does not reject this novel experience, especially the admiration of a little girl.

But never expected that the girl took out a string of brown bean-shaped bracelets from her pocket.

"Can you help me pass this on to Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, just say that the girl named Feifei has liked him for a long time, I hope he can consider it."

I'll go, what kind of monster is this, Feifei?coffee coffee!Can coffee beans be refined?

Bai Xiuqi glanced at the name tag on the chest of the girl's uniform, which was engraved with the word "Fengfei".He suddenly felt dizzy, and couldn't help asking: "How do you know me? How do you know that I know that guy?"

Fifty girl told the truth: "I saw your photo in Brother Jiang's circle of friends, because of the previous murder case, so I know who you are."

Circle of friends, monsters also have circles of friends? !

Bai Xiuqi simply didn't know where to start complaining.

He reluctantly dealt with the girl Fifteen, accepted the red bean bracelet, paid the bill and walked out of the cafe, entered Jiang Chenglu's mobile phone number to search, and sure enough, he found his account number.The picture of the avatar is actually the black fish with sauerkraut that he cooked the night before... Really, why don't you be so frightened...

After a few insults, Bai Xiuqi decisively clicked on the friend invitation, almost waiting for him to walk to the door of the hospital.A verification message popped up on the phone.

Jiang Chenglu was the first to send a message: "Hey. My dear Bai Dada. Why do you want to add me on WeChat?"

"Come and check!" Bai Xiuqi deliberately put on a stern tone: "Someone told me that you made rumors about me on WeChat."

"I'm wronged!" Jiang Chenglu seemed to curl his lips: "I am willing to accept the organization's investigation."

Bai Xiuqi didn't reply.I have gone through Jiang Chenglu's personal photo album here.

In all fairness, Jiang Chenglu's content is not too much, and most of the previous content is "Safe Beijing"-style legal education, reminding all goblins and ghosts: the cycle of heaven and law.Don't do any evil, otherwise if something happens, you can only come to Xuanjing to be a tenant.

It's just that Jiang Chenglu did post some photos of his life recently.In addition to Bai Xiuqi himself, of course, the latest case of jealousy, a little bit of gossip about Zhou Yiliang's murder, and photos of food from the dinner the day before yesterday appeared.

... People in love have zero IQ.Bai Xiuqi remembered this sentence inexplicably.

While Bai Xiuqi was flipping through the content, Jiang Chenglu also intermittently learned about the setbacks encountered in the translation work from him.

"Some things are like this. The more anxious you want to know, the more secretive and mysterious they become. Why don't you put this matter aside for now. Anyway, it's been so many decades, it's not bad For a while."

Listening to his nagging reassurance, Bai Xiuqi nodded and said that he had temporarily put the matter aside, and it happened that the appointment time was coming, so he immediately ended the call.

10 minutes later.In the debridement room, the doctor stared at Bai Xiuqi's ankle in surprise.

"I heard that you asked to come to remove the stitches today. I originally planned to refuse. I didn't expect your wound to heal so quickly and so well."

Speaking of which, he had already cut off a section of black and green surgical thread and used tweezers to pull out the end of the thread, and then he saw the silver powder covering the wound.

"What is this?" he asked.

"Oh... a folk remedy." Bai Xiuqi had long thought of a countermeasure: "A mixture of pearl powder and fish scale powder."

Fortunately, the doctor was only dubious after hearing it, and did not intend to promote it.After removing the thread, he took the slip and prepared to pay. When he left the consultation room, he saw two little nurses secretly looking at him.

What kind of idea is this monster playing?

With the experience in the cafe, Bai Xiuqi decided not to be sentimental, and left as soon as he paid the money.He took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor, and the moment the elevator door opened, a large group of people swarmed in.The moment the elevator doors closed, Bai Xiuqi managed to squeeze out and passed a middle-aged man.

... This person seems a little familiar.

The feeling of déjà vu was just a passing calculation, Bai Xiuqi didn't think about it, and after leaving the hospital, he hailed a taxi and went back to the single apartment where he used to live to pick up his things.

It is nearly half an hour's drive from the hospital to the bachelor apartment.At the destination, Bai Xiuqi paid to get out of the car but did not rush upstairs. Instead, he stood behind the green belt in front of the apartment building for a while.

Soon, a silver-gray car drove up to the place where the taxi was parked just now. A middle-aged man opened the cab door and got out of the car.

Bai Xiuqi also came out from behind the green belt, and smiled at the man, "Mr. Jiang, you have worked hard with me all the way."

The middle-aged man, that is, Jiang Chao, a senior entertainment reporter, showed a "surprised" smile: "The painter's observation skills are indeed very keen. This is the first time that I was discovered by a stalker this year."

"If I hadn't met at the elevator in the hospital, I don't think I would have discovered your existence." Bai Xiuqi confessed frankly: "After all, I don't have as much experience in fighting against enemies as those in the entertainment industry."

"Hahaha, are you fighting against the enemy?"

Jiang Chao laughed out loud because of this metaphor.Showing yellow teeth: "Actually, the relationship between Yuji and the interviewee may not always be hostile."

"But cooperation should be proposed on the basis of mutual informed consent and profit, shouldn't it?"

"..."

Jiang Chao did not directly respond to this rhetorical question, but stared at Bai Xiuqi intently: "You have a very special aura about you, pure and beautiful... so special that I can't help but want to actively pursue it. You should cherish it." Don't waste this talent of yours..."

What's happening here?How can you behave like an entertainment reporter like a cult believer?Bai Xiuqi felt a chill all over his body, and couldn't help taking a step back.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I said that I declined all interviews. This is not a modest irony. What you are doing now has seriously affected my normal life and work. Please be careful to maintain a sense of proportion. Otherwise, I will call the police. "

"well."

Jiang Chao repeatedly agreed.But instead of getting closer, he backed away, and even reached out to grab Bai Xiuqi's wrist.

Of course, Bai Xiuqi was not easy to bully, twisting his wrist instead blocked Jiang Chao's veins, and at the same time noticed that there was a round tattoo on the inside of Jiang Chao's wrist.

"This time it's a formal warning." Bai Xiuqi stared into Jiang Chao's eyes: "Don't mess with me again. Otherwise... today's surveillance video will be the first evidence in court in the future."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Chao's expression froze for a moment, then he turned his head left and right and soon found the monitor set up under the streetlight not far away.

"I won't give up on you."

Although he continued to speak provocative words, Jiang Chao had already withdrawn his hand: "One day, you will regret your choice today."

Someone seemed to be approaching in the distance, Jiang Chao withdrew his hand from Bai Xiuqi, turned and left in a hurry.

--------------------------------

With Jiang Chao's episode, Bai Xiuqi has no intention of staying in the apartment for a long time.After he hastily packed his things, he set off to return to Xuanjing's apartment.He also paid attention to it along the way, and even asked the taxi driver to go around a few times for a hot run.Finally, it was confirmed that Jiang Chao did not follow.

When he returned to Xuanjing Apartment, Jiang Chenglu was leading the people from the elevator company to check the condition of the elevator shaft.Seeing that he was busy, Bai Xiuqi didn't mention meeting Jiang Chao to him.

The good news is that the quality of the elevator shaft is significantly better than expected, and it only needs to be slightly reinforced with steel at the top to further erect equipment and electrical equipment.Finally finalized the reinforcement plan.As soon as the professionals left, Le Yaochun from downstairs came up again.

This time he found Bai Xiuqi.

"My boss said that tomorrow morning I will call you to go to the pier to buy goods, and take a look at the seller of the East China Sea white crystal."

The wharf that Le Yaochun mentioned refers to the Harbor City in the east of the city, and it is also the delta area where the river flows into the sea.There are many streets and alleys scattered around the pier, hiding fish markets, handicrafts, cloth markets, dry goods and spices markets, etc. There are several cargo distribution centers. It can be said that there are goods from all over the world.

The jewelry and jade market is one of the very distinctive places.

At three o'clock in the morning of the next day, before even a trace of fish-belly white lighted up in the eastern sky, the alarm clock of Bai Xiuqi's mobile phone rang.He opened his eyes in pain and fumbled to turn off the alarm.

Jiang Chenglu next to him was still sound asleep, but his brows were frowned because of the alarm just now.Bai Xiuqi sighed, pressed lightly between Jiang Chenglu's brows, then pulled his hands from his waist, and tiptoed off the bed to wash up.
