am i dead

The room was dark.

The curtains were not drawn tightly, revealing a gap, and the pale moonlight seeped in from the outside and fell on the wall, like a moon shadow on the dark lake.

Ji Yao lay on the bed, staring at the void for a long time.

Occasionally, a vehicle passed by outside, the light slipped by, and there was no time to blink.

He didn't ask about the details of what happened, because Ji Yao really didn't have the courage to listen.

When he couldn't sleep, Ji Yao forced himself not to think about the past, and only focused on counting sheep.

Tao He called after counting.

Originally, Ji Yao counted pretty well when he didn't call, but as soon as he called, Ji Yao immediately forgot where he was counting.

Sniffing, Ji Yao wiped his face and continued counting.

The phone rang endlessly.

Ji Yao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the phone, but didn't speak. After listening to Tao He babbling for a long time, he threw a few words, "Help me count the sheep."

Tao He was very happy to hear what he said. He started counting the cats under the covers, and after counting more than 1000 cats, he fell asleep instantly because of its unique hypnotic effect.

But the phone didn't hang up.

Listening to the even breathing sound on the other end, Ji Yao plugged in his phone and counted how many times he gasped.

It ended up counting until dawn.

It's true that he didn't think about it, but Ji Yao's mood was not so good, so that when he went to work, Ji Yao's eyes were full of black air, and his face seemed to be frozen with a layer of ice.

As soon as I entered the office, I bumped into Xiao Wang,

"Hey... Angry Xiaoji."

The colleague pouring water next to him laughed,

"Not Angry Chicken, Angry Birds."

Xiao Wang didn't explain, and threw a bag of chocolate beans on Ji Yao's table,

"Ji Yao, haven't you had no cases recently? Why are you still so angry? Exuberant anger is not good for your health."

Ji Yao didn't speak, walked to his desk and was about to sit down, but when he looked up, he saw Wang Dui entering the door and waving at him, "Xiao Ji, come here."

Ji Yao got up and followed Team Wang into the office.

Dui Wang pushed open the office door, "How is your rest recently?"

Ji Yao said quietly, "Enough rest."

Wang Dui smiled heartily, threw the car keys on the table, and took out a few file bags from the cabinet next to him, "These are all the case materials that have been sent over the past two days. You choose one, and I will make one for you." group."

Although Ji Yao had doubts about this, he didn't ask any further questions. He took an information bag casually, opened it and looked through it.

"It's an underworld homicide."

"It's actually this case...Xiao Ji, you're really unlucky." Dui Wang stretched his neck to look at the information in Ji Yao's hand, "Actually, it's nothing else, the main reason is that I always heard that these people were hired as killers." , but no case was filed before, if it’s really those people, you have to be careful not to find out anything related, it’s too tricky.”

Ji Yao glanced at Wang Dui, "What do you mean?"

Wang Dui patted him on the shoulder with a half-smile,

"You also know that officials and rich people like to do bad things these days, don't you... If you accidentally get involved, we can't hold it back."

Just after the meeting, Tao He walked in while making a phone call.

"I have already given him the benefit analysis of the project. I thought he had notified you."

The young lady secretary followed behind in her ten-centimeter high heels, holding a large stack of documents.

When the two of them saw the person on the sofa, they both froze for a moment, but the secretary was quick to respond, and she quickly smiled and showed her white teeth, "Hello, Mr. Dan."

Eggy looked at the little secretary's stockings, "Hey, Xiao Liu, why didn't I see you when I came here yesterday, did you ask for leave?"

The little secretary hunched over and tidied up beside Tao He, "Well, I didn't feel well yesterday, so I asked for leave."

Eggy turned around and fumbled for a cigarette in her bag, "If I had known you weren't here, I wouldn't have come, do you think I come every day just to see you Mr. Tao..."

"Okay, then I'll go to the new district to find Director Peng in person in the afternoon." Tao He hung up the phone, and cast a sideways glance, "You're fucking shameless..."

The little secretary smiled shyly, explained to Tao He the materials he had sorted out, then turned around and went out to make tea.

Eggy looked at her back, "The figure is pretty good, but the face is average."

Tao He sat on the chair and moved the mouse, "If you want to play, don't play with me. I can't bear to cry in front of me one day."

Eggy fiddled with the cigarette case in her hand, "I just said casually, hey, when can you come to my place to play once, I come to you all day long, my legs are worthless, right..."

The little secretary came in with a cup of tea, put it in front of Eggy and went out.

Tao He waved to Dandan, "Dandan, come and see."

Eggy leaned forward curiously, and then his face changed,

"Fuck, what is this...you are so perverted..."

Tao He leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, touched his chin,

"I think Ji Yao is annoying me recently... You know, he didn't answer my calls for a long time last night, and asked me to count sheep when he did. Tell me, he doesn't like to hear it. I was talking, it bothered me, and I fell asleep directly."

Eggy stared straight at the computer, "But what are you doing... You must have something wrong at work."

Tao Heshen pointed at the computer screen with one finger, "Look, I made a simple statistic for myself first. I am not happy recently, which may be caused by several reasons, but through comparison and elimination, we can determine the final result. The reason is Ji Yao, so if only he is happy, then I won't be so bothered for a day..."

Eggy was a little dumbfounded, "Then you don't have to make a PPT... Are you disgusting... I hate watching this..."

"The main reason is that I have a lot of templates, so I use them at will," Tao He scrolled down disapprovingly, "Here comes the important point, the important point...that is how to make Ji Yao happy, which involves two major aspects, one , is why Ji Yao is angry, this is also the fundamental solution to the problem, and second, how to coax Ji Yao, this is also an auxiliary solution to the problem." Eggy fidgets, "Don't be like this, I can't help but take meeting notes gone."

Tao He straightened up, turned the computer screen to Dandan, and paced back and forth in the office, "I don't think I told you before that I made Ji Yao angry because I disliked him looking for someone else, but in fact I didn't." I hate him, so I just asked casually... Really... I found it, it's not a big deal... So, I decided to find a chance to explain to him."

Eggy looked at him, "How are you going to explain it?"

Tao He frowned slightly, "This thing must not be said explicitly, it would be embarrassing to say so, and it would be a casual hint. I have already thought about it, and said that I have always been eager to find someone who has sexual experience... Hey... Why does it sound a bit brain-dead..."

Eggy interrupted him, "Why don't you just say it..."

Tao He turned to look at him, "Forget it, let's put this question aside for now, and I will analyze the second one for you."

Dandan picked up a document from Tao He's desktop, "This is useless, let me make a record."

Tao He took a look, "No, that's a contract, let me let it go!"

Then he said, "There are not many things, you can remember them with your brain."

Eggy put down the paper and pen nonchalantly, "I'm used to it. My dad has this habit, and he made it a habit for me too. Fuck, I'm going to have a meeting now, and I can write down more details than the secretary."

Tao He was completely immersed in his own thoughts, "The rest is how to coax Ji Yao, there are many sub-categories, let's look at the part that suits him first..."

Eggy jumped up and held Tao He down, "He, you don't have to be so troublesome, just fuck him a few more times, really, never heard that a bunch of love words are not as good as a dick."

Tao He looked sideways at Eggy, silent for a while,

Then came out another sentence, "Dan, you are too good!"

Eggy spread her hands and shrugged, "It's not bad, I also summed it up after years of painstaking research."

Tao He stretched his arms and sat on the desk, "I've thought about the matter you mentioned to me yesterday, and I've already hired a private detective to investigate which house the old man is looking for."

Eggy sat next to each other, her legs were still shaking, "Yes, I will find that person later, you call me, and I will take someone to get him."

Tao He glanced at him, "You're out of your wits, wouldn't you startle the snake? That's fine, don't meddle in it. I'll do it myself."

As a result, the two were talking when the door suddenly opened.

After seeing the person clearly, Tao He hurriedly got up from the desktop, turned around and deleted the things on the computer.

Eggy was a little surprised, but there was a smile on her face,

"Hello grandpa."

Tao Shu nodded, "Well, I saw your father a while ago."

Eggy rubbed her hands and stood aside, "My father mentioned it, but there were too many people at that time, and you were surrounded by many people, so you couldn't say a few more words."

Tao Shu found a place to sit down, "Your father's company went public recently, and the momentum is pretty good."

Eggy laughed dryly, "It's okay, it's okay, thanks for the compliment."

After speaking, he packed up his things wisely, "Since grandpa is here, I'll go first, I'm fine anyway, you guys talk."

Tao He was busy moving without raising his head, "Okay, I'll look for you later."

Eggy took her bag and turned to go out, "Goodbye, Grandpa."

Tao Shu nodded to him, "Goodbye."

After Dandan closed the door, Tao He raised his head,

"Why are you here? Just ask me to go over if there is something to do."

Tao Shu had a sullen face, but he was not fierce.

"I'll stop by and see what tricks you kid is up to."

Tao He's eyes were a little irritable, but it wasn't obvious.

"What can I do..."

Tao Shu slowly rubbed his cane with his thumb, his expression gloomy.

Tao He didn't speak, he was still fiddling with the matter at hand, but he was speculating in his heart.

Tao Shu cleared his throat, and finally spoke,

"I heard that you approached President Wang of the Longteng Group two days ago?"

Tao He looked calm, "Well, I asked him for a favor, but you don't need to repay this favor, I will find a way by myself in the future."

After saying this, Tao He didn't read Tao's book, he thought he would wait for a roar, but the result was unexpected.

Tao Shu's voice was flat, "What's wrong with that person and you that you care so much about it?"

"It's a big holiday," Tao He raised his eyes, "He slept with my sister for a long time as a gay, and I never let my sister be bullied like this since I was a child."

Tao Shu's expression was strange, and he sighed after a long time.

"Well, in fact, you visited Wang Deming that day, and he called me soon after and made friends with me."

Tao He's heart tightened, and he remained calm.

Tao Shu covered the five fingers of the cane, "I didn't think much about it at the time, it's not just a doctor. Although I care about you, in this regard, you can do whatever you like."

Then he tightened his grip again, "It seems that such a person should stay away from you and your sister."

Tao He was a little startled, "Oh."

Tao Shu stood up and swayed a few times, a little unsteady.

Seeing this, Tao He quickly reached out to support him,

"Are you OK……"

Tao Shu's tongue was bitter, and he pressed his temple with one hand, "It's okay, I have a headache."
