i must be in hell

Since the last guild incident, Ning Xiao and the police force in Liming City have become acquainted.Coupled with the reputation brought about by breaking the guild hall case, the news that a little detective came to the police force spread like wildfire.

Now, anyone who follows the news of the criminal case in Liming City knows that such a special consultant has been recruited into the Liming City Criminal Police Team [-].Not only has he helped the police solve cases several times in a row, but he also seems to be a writer of mystery novels.As soon as this news leaked out, all the reasoning enthusiasts in Liming City were overwhelmed.

"This is a good time, a perfect time!"

The editor who was on a video call with Ning Xiao said: "Take this opportunity to do a promotion in your city and republish all the previous books. There will definitely be a trend of big sales."

Ning Xiao himself was not very motivated.

"What do you write? 'Mystery novelist writes and directs himself, claiming that the detective is actually a criminal gang'. Is this slogan powerful enough?"

"Who would say that! Ning Xiao, don't be too sensitive." Editor Mo Mo disagreed and said, "You are helping the police solve the case entirely on your own. ?”

"It's not necessarily slander." Ning Xiao whispered.

"Ah? What did you say?"

"It's nothing. I'll leave the republishing to you. This is your specialty. I have no objection." In the end, he chose to compromise, and Ning Xiao handed over the republishing of the novel to the publishing editor.After all, publishing novels is what he earns a living from, and it is impossible for him to refuse the advice of professionals.

"That's wise. That's right! Ning Xiao, you haven't given me the manuscript from last week, you—"

beep—

Without waiting for the editor to speak, Ning Xiao cut off the video neatly, logged out and shut down the computer within a second.The action was done in one go, and it was obviously not the first time he did this.Going offline like this to avoid the editor's pursuit of manuscripts, I felt a little guilty when I first started doing it, but now Ning Xiao has already mastered it with ease and practiced a good skill.

However, the persistent editor obviously won't just let him go.

Not even a minute after the computer shut down, the phone rang again.Ning Xiao glanced at the caller ID on the mobile phone——the maniac of the press release.He stayed where he was for a second, then turned around and went to the toilet with a newspaper.He needs to think now, how to continue to avoid the editor's reminder, and how to solve the current situation of Cavin.

Squatting in the toilet, the non-stop ringing of the phone outside was much quieter. When Ning Xiao finally got a little inspiration and was about to go out to find a piece of paper to write it down, the phone rang again like a wake-up call.And this time it was quite long-lasting, as if Ning Xiao didn't answer, he would definitely not hang up.

Forced to do nothing, Ning Xiao could only put down the scrap of paper with inspiration in his hand, and connected the phone.

"Ah Mo, do you know how to write the words "kill the chicken and take the egg?"

"Who is Ah Mo?" However, another voice came from the phone, with a slight tease. "Is it your little lover? Why, is he dissatisfied with desire?"

"..." As soon as Ning Xiao heard this flattering tone, Ning Xiao knew who was calling.He checked the caller ID to make sure he hadn't entered the caller's number, and he couldn't remember giving him his number.Of course, it is not excluded that he did some irrational behavior when he temporarily lost his memory.

"Xu Shangyu, are you investigating my contact information from the internal system of the police station?" Ning Xiaoyu said angrily, "Is this how you protect the safety of citizens? Well, you want to violate the privacy of an innocent citizen at will."

"It's not infringement, it's protection." Xu Shangyu, who called, said eloquently: "Since you are currently being entangled by criminal gangs with grievous records, the police force has decided to take 24-hour protection measures for you. As an important part of protecting you Member, I have the mobile phone number of the protected object, is it not an exaggeration?"

"24 hours?" Ning Xiao went to the window and pulled up the curtains to have a look. "Does that mean someone is staring at me every day?"

"Yes, I have."

"who is it?"

"I'm sorry, it's just me." Xu Shangyu's tone revealed a hint of complacency. "It was hard for me to apply to the director for the position of full-time bodyguard. So, hurry up and pack your bags, Comrade Ning Xiao."

Upon hearing these words, Ning Xiao immediately had a bad feeling.

"What are you packing for?"

"What are you doing, of course..." In the communication, Xu Shangyu chuckled. "Of course it is to protect you 24 hours a day, so from today on, you will come to my house."

what? !

If it wasn't for his rationality and sobriety, Ning Xiao almost threw the phone out.He was asked to live together by a man. He has never had contact with any woman above second base in his 24 years of life, and now he wants to live with a man!Why is there an illusion of a bright future for a moment?

Before Ning Xiao could figure out how to say no, Xu Shangyu over there had already started talking.

"First of all, given that Heye's armed strength far exceeds that of ordinary criminal groups, and your address has already been known by him. It is very dangerous for you to continue to live there. Secondly, the police force The family courtyard not only has good security measures, but also ensures that you will be informed of all kinds of news at the first time, so that you will not be completely passive. Of course, the most important thing is the last point—”

Ning Xiao held his breath, only to hear Xu Shangyu say over there: "I'm already standing at the door of your house, do you have the heart to just drive me back like this?"

"..."

After hearing these words, Ning Xiao quickly ran to the door and opened it.Sure enough, he saw a harmlessly smiling face appearing in front of his eyes.

"good afternoon."

Xu Shangyu held his mobile phone while raising his other hand to greet him. "I'm here to obligate you to move, you're welcome."

I'm so thankful...thank you all!

Ning Xiao held back his breath and told himself to be calm, he is a gentleman, not a thug, and he shouldn't mess with others casually.

"Do you have to move there?" He fought for room for change. "Maybe I can find another place to live."

Xu Shangyu had already walked into his house, and when he heard these words, he looked back at Ning Xiao.

"Another place? Then continue to fight He Ye at the risk of putting the lives of the new neighbors at risk?"

This sentence silenced Ning Xiao's subsequent excuses.Indeed, people around Ning Xiao may be involved in the battle that is still unknown in the future. Even if Ning Xiao doesn't want to, that is an inevitable result.

Xu Shangyu saw that he was in a low mood, and stepped forward to comfort him: "So come and live in my house. I promise you will stand up to fights and falls. No matter how hard you fight, you will not be easily affected to your death. Don't you think there is someone like me?" Does your roommate feel safe?"

"Yes, a sense of security." Ning Xiao glanced at him. "Do you think you are a condom and still have a sense of security?"

Xu Shangyu's eyes widened slightly.

"Ning Xiao, for the first time I discovered that you are really an ordinary man."

No matter how brave the performance is, the brain is still violent. This is a common problem of men.But Ning Xiao is generally not like this, he will only swear when he is very impatient and helpless.Thanks to Xu Shangyu, he made Comrade Ning Xiao, who had been a gentleman for seven months and twelve days, relapse after a long time.

Now that he knew that struggling was useless, Ning Xiao no longer hesitated, but started to pack his luggage.A single man didn't have much personal belongings, and with the help of Xu Shangyu, within 10 minutes, all the things Ning Xiao needed to bring were packed in his backpack.

"Let's go to your house now?" Ning Xiao asked.

He thought Xu Shangyu would immediately nod his head in agreement, but the police officer looked at his watch and then frowned.

"Sorry, can you go somewhere else with me first?"

somewhere else?It's the time for the police to get off work, so he shouldn't have lost something in the police station and need to go back to get it, right?

Ning Xiao followed Xu Shangyu downstairs, feeling puzzled, when he saw Xu Shangyu open the door of a Swift, sitting in the driver's seat and waving at him.

"Hurry up! If you slow down, it will be too late to pick up my son from school."

"..."

Ning Xiao sat in the passenger seat in silence, watched Xu Shangyu drive the car out of the community in silence, watched him park the car in front of an elementary school, and continued to look out the window in silence.There are elementary school students walking out of the school one by one outside. This time is the end of school for the upper grades of elementary school.Children in the sixth grade are generally 12 years old, but Xu Shangyu is 27 this year.Ning Xiao felt as if he understood something.

"Your 15-year-old son?"

"what?"

"Where's the child's mother?"

"..."

"No wonder I always feel that there is something wrong with you. I had a child when I was a teenager. Could it be for this reason that I am not interested in women now..."

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Xu Shangyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The son I'm talking about is not my own, but I just treat him as a son. Now I am his temporary guardian."

Ning Xiao finally stopped the endless brainstorming.

Xu Shangyu said: "Speaking of which, you also know him. A while ago, didn't you keep asking me where he was going?"

No way, could it be... Impossible...

"uncle."

Just when Ning Xiao couldn't believe it, a child walked up to their car window and stopped, skillfully opened the back door and got in.

Ning Xiao looked at the child through the rearview mirror. Although he was a little thinner than before, and although the expression on his face was less, he was sure that this child was the one he had met several times at the door of the bookstore——Zhang Weiwei !
