Chapter 109: The Dawn of the Willow (continued)

Fu Liangtao sat in the shade of a tree and took a deep breath of the fresh air unique to nature, because he was so accustomed to indulging in his work that he had forgotten how long it had been since he had felt the breath of nature at such a close distance.

The sporadic sunlight shone on Fu Liangtao's face through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and the rare breeze blew lightly, taking away the stuffiness in the air.

On this sunny and sunny day, the lake is not a holiday, but it is better than a holiday. Although the scenery is good, there are more people and the wind is lighter.

Fu Liangtao couldn't bear the sweat on his body, approached the railing, looked at the gurgling water on the artificial lake in the center of the park, and thought that maybe it would be cooler to raft on the lake, so that there would be fewer people around him.

"Fu sir......" Fu Liangtao listened to the clear voice coming from behind him, like flowing water gently from his ears to his heart, Fu Liangtao knew that it was Xu Jingjia.

Fu Liangtao then turned to Xu Jingjia and bowed slightly, and said with a light smile, "Miss Xu."

Because he came for official business, Fu Liangtao wore shirts and trousers that were not suitable for outings out of time. However, the elegant atmosphere exuded by Fu Liangtao's gestures is very consistent with the scenery behind him, and people can't help but want to look at it again.

This scene fell in Xu Jingjia's eyes, which made her eyes a little stunned, and then quickly turned her gaze to the other side, no longer looking at Fu Liangtao. Xu Jingjia's ponytail that was neatly tied behind her head, with Xu Jingjia's movements, gently flicked it on her shoulder, and also patted Fu Liangtao's heart.

But seeing that Xu Jingjia's little face was slightly red, and beads of sweat were rising on the corners of her forehead. Fu Liangtao then remembered that it would take 20 to 30 minutes to get here from the subway station, so he asked again, "It's not too far from the subway station, right?"

"It's fine." Xu Jingjia replied casually without distinguishing her emotions. As she spoke, she approached Fu Liangtao, stood beside him, and turned her gaze to the lake.

Fu Liangtao continued: "There are a lot of people here, let's go, let's go to the lake to talk." After that, Fu Liangtao led Xu Jingjia to rent a two-person water bike and go to the lake.

When the bicycle drove away from the lake, Fu Liangtao enjoyed the lake and mountains in the garden from another angle, and the sweat had already disappeared, and he couldn't help but turn around and sigh to Xu Jingjia: "It's really cooler on the lake, don't you say?"

Fu Liangtao originally just wanted to walk around with Xu Jingjia on the shore at will, but he didn't admit that the quiet lake in the past was full of tourists on this day.

Xu Jingjia was looking at the surrounding scenery, and turned to look at him because of Fu Liangtao's words. I saw Fu Liangtao's expression, and the short hair on his head moved with the wind, and it could be seen that Fu Liangtao was indescribably happy in his heart.

Xu Jingjia was silent for a while, although she felt that her words were a little stunned, but she still said, "Fu Sir, isn't the holy hall we met in the past bad?"

Fu Liangtao looked at Xu Jingjia fixedly, smiled slightly, thought about it, and then asked, "I think it's not bad to change the environment like this once in a while."

Xu Jingjia did not refute Fu Liangtao's words, and turned her eyes away again.

Fu Liangtao noticed that from the time he saw Xu Jingjia on the shore, Xu Jingjia always avoided his gaze intentionally or unintentionally.

"Miss Xu, if you don't like it, just say it. I see that you are always bored at home, and it is rare to come to this place with a wide view, so I want to let you out of the confined space during the meeting time. Isn't it good for your body to spend more time in the sun?" Fu Liangtao said.

The only answer to Fu Liangtao was the regular sound of "Kaka" because of stepping on a jet bike.

After a while, Xu Jingjia asked and said, "Fu Sir, I hope you remember our agreement. This is the second time this week that you've asked me out."

No one could understand that Xu Jingjia was deliberately keeping a distance from Fu Liangtao, and Fu Liangtao was not annoyed, but talked to Xu Jingjia about business: "Yesterday, I went to Yu Xiucheng's studio to talk to him. Do you want to know what's going on?"

The gentle baritone came with the wind, which made Xu Jingjia's face soften slightly. I saw Xu Jingjia looking back at Fu Liangtao with a blank face, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she thought for a while before asking, "Who is Yu Xiucheng?" Obviously, Fu Liangtao's words are clueless.

Fu Liangtao couldn't help but say, "Yu Xiucheng is Owen's Chinese name." Because of Yu Xiucheng's matter, there were a lot of rumors about Xu Jingjia, but now, I didn't expect that Xu Jingjia didn't even know the other party's name for so many years.

The doubts in Xu Jingjia's eyes receded, and she let out an unfazed "oh", which was regarded as an answer.

Fu Liangtao's heart moved, and he looked at Xu Jingjia seriously and said, "My full name is Fu Liangtao. This one...... You know that, right?"

With inadvertent caution in his words, Fu Liangtao didn't understand why he wanted to be sure of this.

Xu Jingjia looked back at Fu Liangtao, as if he was the same as Fu Liangtao, feeling unclear about his question.

"Fu Liangtao......" looked at each other, Xu Jingjia silently repeated Fu Liangtao's name in a clear voice.

Xu Jingjia's voice was light and light, and it was clear that it could easily be covered by other voices on the lake, but it lingered in Fu Liangtao's ears for a long time.

The voices surrounding them seemed to exist only to isolate everything on the surface of the lake except them.

Fu Liangtao suddenly felt that the sound of stepping on the water bike disturbed the morning light, so he stopped his movements and approached Xu Jingjia slightly.

"Fu sir...... I'll still call you Fu sir!" Xu Jingjia's voice disrupted the beat in Fu Liangtao's heart and interrupted Fu Liangtao's movements.

Xu Jingjia pondered for a moment, and then said in a businesslike tone, "I understand that it is understandable that you are focusing on investigating the source of the rumors. However, these rumors really shouldn't be the focus of your current investigation. Have you ever considered what role Zhou Muqing and Li Bingde played in this case, while they were the victims?"

As he spoke, Xu Jingjia turned his gaze back to the front and no longer looked at Fu Liangtao.

Fu Liangtao looked at Xu Jingjia's side face, and saw that Xu Jingjia's head was slightly tilted because he was looking ahead intently, lengthening her neck line, adding a bit of ordinary elegance and arrogance to her.

Fu Liangtao suddenly felt that his expectations were disappointed, and his emotions gradually became complicated. He thought of every audio he had heard during the investigation, and the content of each audio had closely matched Xu Jingjia's image with various rumors about her, but the results of the investigation were all specious, and she herself did not refute the rumors about herself.

However, apart from the case, there was nothing else to talk about between Fu Liangtao and Xu Jingjia, and he could only hope that Xu Jingjia could tell some clues that would be useful for the investigation.

Just like now......
