Chapter 61: Recuperation in peace
Walking into the gate of the comprehensive administrative building, Xiang Xiaotian looked at it, and there was no security guard. Needless to say, this place must have been cleaned up by Brad Peake.
"Why can't you even see the shadow of a security guard!" Ali said a little angrily, "Such a lazy guy, he must have taken advantage of the fact that there was no one here, and went to the security room to play cards again, and saw that I didn't clean them up!" β
As he spoke, Ali shook off his steps and was about to go to the security room to ask for the guilt.
"Don't worry about it so much!" Xiang Xiaotian said with some irritation.
Now he was concerned about only one thing, and that was whether the painting had been stolen or not. Tomorrow he's going to fly to Moscow to make a deal with the textile tycoon!
That secret room was very secret, it should be difficult to be discovered, under the effect of that trace of luck, Xiang Xiaotian unconsciously quickened the pace of his feet, and walked briskly in the direction of the elevator room.
On the 18th floor, as soon as he entered the corridor, Xiang Xiaotian smelled the smell of burnt plastic rushing into his nose.
"Is there a fire here?" Ali asked in surprise.
Xiang Xiaotian didn't say a word, his face was calm, and he walked quickly in the direction of his office.
As soon as he walked into the open office area, he saw the fallen angels under Ah Hao standing at the door of the principal's office with their heads down.
Seeing Xiang Xiaotian coming, several fallen angels immediately stood up straight, and their faces all showed a faint look of fear and anxiety.
"What's going on here?" Xiang Xiaotian's eyes looked coldly at the fallen angel who was the leader.
"No, I don't know." The fallen angel replied with a twitch of lips.
Xiang Xiaotian suddenly glared at him fiercely, and a faint blue murderous aura appeared in his eyes, "I don't know?!" β
The fallen angel dodged his gaze and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, boss. They...... They put smoke bombs and knocked us all out, so ......"
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the fallen angel's face had been slapped by Xiang Xiaotian.
"Are you all rice buckets? What about Howe? β
"I don't know."
"What do you all know about a bunch of trash?"
Xiang Xiaotian angrily pushed the fallen angel away, came to the door of the office, stretched out his right thumb, and successfully unlocked his fingerprint.
Xiang Xiaotian pulled the door open and shouted angrily inside: "Ah Hao." β
The office was silent, and there was no response.
Ignoring Ah Hao's affairs first, Xiang Xiaotian walked straight to the bookshelf behind his desk, took out the Bible, and pressed the mechanism inside.
There was a sound of track sliding, the bookshelves parted to both sides, and Xiang Xiaotian hurriedly walked into the secret room.
Seeing that the painting tube was still quietly resting in its original position, Xiang Xiaotian's heart was slightly settled, and he hurriedly opened the painting tube to take a look, and saw that the painting was still rolled up in it, and the brows that had been tangled stretched out.
But he was still a little uneasy, and pulled the painting out of the tube again, ready to unfold it and take a closer look, when he heard a cry of surprise from Ali as soon as he revealed a corner of the green forest.
"Boss, look, this is Ah Hao's mobile phone!"
Ali took his mobile phone and trotted to Xiang Xiaotian, his face full of surprise and unease.
Xiang Xiaotian rolled up the oil painting again, put it in the painting tube, and put it in its place, and began to focus on Ah Hao's mobile phone.
"Where did you find it?"
Ali pointed behind him and said, "On the carpet next to the sofa." β
Xiang Xiaotian walked over quickly, squatted down to take a closer look, and saw that there were still faint indentations on the carpet from when someone fell to the ground.
"There are traces of a fight here, it looks like Ah Hao was knocked down and fell here."
At a glance, Xiang Xiaotian suddenly found a disc-sized crack on the glass wall, so he walked over and took a closer look.
"It's like a crack left by a pedal." Xiang Xiaotian's mind came up with the look of Ah Hao fighting hard.
"Boss, there's blood here." Ali said, pointing to a carpet.
Xiang Xiaotian didn't go to check the bloodstain again, don't think about it, it must have been left by Ah Hao.
Ah Hao is probably already sacrificed! Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaotian sat down on the sofa a little depressed, and reached out to rub his somewhat sour eye sockets.
Fortunately, the painting is still there, and tomorrow's trade can continue. The cause of the fallen angels continues.
"Ah Hao, he won't be ......" Ah Li fell to his knees and cried loudly.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, do you still look like a man?!" Xiang Xiaotian was a little upset by Ali's crying, and scolded angrily.
Ali stopped crying, but still knelt on the ground with a sad face.
Seeing Ali like this, Xiang Xiaotian was a little unbearable, so he got up and patted him on the shoulder.
"The path we have chosen is originally nine deaths and one life, and any of our fallen angels should be ready to disappear from this world at any time!"
Xiang Xiaotian's gaze stretched out through the glass wall to the high and deep night sky, and a few lone stars flickered with a faint light, like a candle swaying in the wind, as if it might be extinguished at any time.

Grand Athenaeum Hotel.
After Dr. Xue left, Brad Peake said to Zheng Ziqi, "Oh, by the way, your oil painting of "Angels and Maidens" is now returned to its original owner, and I have placed it on the sofa in the living room outside. β
Zheng Ziqi just wanted to say "thank you", but Su Ruixi, who was lying on the bed, shouted out in surprise: "This is 200 million yuan, big brother, is your heart a little too big!" β
Brad Peake smiled disapprovingly and said, "Hehe, this is my territory, which thief is impatient enough to dare to come here to spread wild?!" β
Hey, you know bragging! The corners of Su Ruixi's mouth tugged disdainfully, and her heart was slandered.
"It's getting late, let's get some rest early."
Brad Peake took two steps in the direction of the door, suddenly stopped, turned to Su Ruixi and said, "Tomorrow I will ask someone to help you ask for leave, you can recuperate here for the next few days, don't go to school." β
"How? If you don't go to class suddenly, your classmates will find it very strange! Su Ruixi said very anxiously, she now completely regards herself as a college student, and angels or something, it seems that she only plays the role of an occasional cameo.
"This is actually for your safety, Xiang Xiaotian's office has just been broken into, and he may be searched everywhere in the past few days, so it's better not to show up!"
Su Ruixi thought about it, and what Brad Peake said was not unreasonable, so she didn't say anything more.
Zheng Ziqi patted Su Ruixi on the shoulder, then went out with Brad Peake, and gently closed the door.

The next morning, when Su Ruixi woke up, it was already more than 9 o'clock, and she habitually picked up her mobile phone and took a look, and found that there were more than a dozen unread WeChat messages.
Zhang Jingyi asked her why she didn't go back to the dormitory at night, was something wrong, and did she need help?
And Gu Xiaoying asked her heartlessly which handsome guy she went out to spend the night with, and asked if it was Xiang Jingwen?
Su Ruixi frowned a little speechlessly, and had to reply to them that she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable last night and went home.
"Are you sick? Why didn't I see you come to class? Xiang Jingwen's WeChat message suddenly popped up.
"Well, it's a little uncomfortable." Su Ruixi replied.
"It's good, how can it be uncomfortable? Weren't you okay when I saw you on campus last night? β
"It's nothing, it's just a little stomachache, girl, you know." Su Ruixi thought about it, but this reason is more reasonable.
After a long time, Xiang Jingwen called a line of words.
Oh, then you drink some brown sugar water and keep warm."
Su Ruixi didn't feel a little funny, this Xiang Jingwen held back for a long time before he said such a sentence, it was really embarrassing for him.
Su Ruixi seemed to be able to see Xiang Jingwen's face swollen and red at the moment, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved upward.
"You have a good class, I'm going to rest." It's class time, so it's better not to distract him.
"Okay, then don't bother."
Putting down the phone, Su Ruixi looked at the quiet lake outside the window for a while, the weather is very good today, the lake reflects the blue sky like a mirror, giving people the illusion of being suspended between the two skies. Fantastic and wonderful!
There was a knock on the door.
Su Ruixi shouted "Please come in" in the direction of the door, and soon, Zheng Ziqi pushed the door and walked in, followed by Dr. Xue.
Su Ruixi noticed that Dr. Xue was carrying a small suitcase in his hand, and if he guessed correctly, it should contain acupuncture tools.
"Hello, Dr. Xue." Su Ruixi sat on the bed and bowed to Dr. Xue.
"Hello Miss Su, I'm here to do acupuncture for you." Dr. Xue said with a smile.
Su Ruixi immediately said with a bitter face: "It seems that today is the bad luck of being pierced into a hedgehog!" β
Zheng Ziqi smiled: "Why are you still like a child who is afraid of injections?" It's just acupuncture, I'm afraid of it. β
"Please Miss Su prepare, I'll go out first, okay, call me." Dr. Xue said, walked out of the room, and gently closed the door again.
"Ready? What to prepare? Su Ruixi glanced at Zheng Ziqi in confusion.
Zheng Ziqi said with a smile: "Of course you took off your clothes, do you still prick needles through your clothes, so you can't find the acupuncture points on your back." β
Su Ruixi wrinkled her nose: "Huh?!" You have to take off your clothes! I don't want it, that's a male doctor! β
"What does it matter, it's just to show your back, and you can just go on vacation to the beach in a backless bikini."
"But I ......"
"Oh, it's okay, I'll always be here with you, you don't have to be afraid." Zheng Ziqi patted Su Ruixi's shoulder with a relaxed face.
Su Ruixi glanced at Zheng Ziqi gratefully, didn't say anything, took off her shirt cleanly, and then lay on the bed naked.
"Your back is beautiful, it's a perfect work of art." Zheng Ziqi crossed his arms and said in a tone of appreciating a work of art.
Su Ruixi's face turned red unconsciously, and being stared at her back by others playfully made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Sister Ziqi, don't make fun of me."
"I'm telling the truth! Then I'll call Dr. Xue in, you're ready, be careful not to go away. β
Zheng Ziqi winked playfully at Su Ruixi, turned around and walked towards the door.
Doctor Xue came in and glanced at Su Ruixi's beautiful back, there was not the slightest fluctuation in his eyes, in his eyes, it was just his next workbench. Dr. Xue took out the silver needle from the box and began to devote himself to his work meticulously.
