Chapter 628: Mrs. Qian's warning
Xue Xiaxia's face instantly stiffened, "So she is a special character who is very deeply hidden?" β
I nodded, "Yes, it does take a lot of time to investigate her, I'm not sure if she was a helper who was temporarily selected by Wan Junyou, or if they were originally from the same organization, if she was selected later, then her fate would be too tortuous, to put it mildly, she is likely to become the second Su Xiaoli, and her soul is going farther and farther on the road of loss, and it can't be saved in the end." β
Xue Xiaxia was silent, and the night outside shone on her face, making her look much more melancholy.
On Thursday afternoon, I went to the bookstore again, and the clerk named Geng Xiaomin was there.
I asked him when Boss Wang would come to the bookstore, and he said that from the time he came to work until now, he was alone in the bookstore every day, and he worked full-time, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
In my clichΓ©, he was embarrassed to say that although he said that he had worked for a longer time, the salary offered by the other party was more attractive, not to mention that a game otaku like him was not suitable to go to work elsewhere, and there was nothing to deal with sitting here, and he could spend a lot of time playing games every day, so he was naturally willing to do this job.
I went to the second floor to take a look, and found that all the old books that Ma Yuan had put on several bookshelves were gone, and they were replaced with various literary books published in modern times, and I couldn't find the ancient and mysterious atmosphere at all.
In short, the taste of the whole bookstore has changed, I guess this is probably Ma Yuan's intention, and this bookstore is estimated to be abandoned by him in the later period, so from now on he will change the appearance of the bookstore, little by little let the bookstore fade out of my sight, or other people's memories.
Two days later.
Early in the morning, I sat in the hotel office, I haven't fully woken up from the drowsiness, I stayed up late last night to watch a movie, and before I knew it, it was more than 4 o'clock, and this morning I rushed to a meeting in a certain unit, and now I really want to lie down and sleep.
The phone rang suddenly, and I grabbed the phone impatiently, thinking that there was another meeting to be held, but it was Qian Siming calling, and most of my drowsiness was dispelled in an instant.
I picked up the phone and pretended to be calm and asked, "Boss Qian, how are you doing?" β
"Mr. Zhang, thanks to you, I've been going well lately, hehehe." Qian Siming smiled greasyly, judging from his tone of wanting to speak, it is estimated that this guy has something to do with me again.
Sure enough, after a lot of words, he said that he wanted to come back and take care of some things before going back.
I asked him why, if he wasn't used to it over there, he immediately said no, he just thought that there should be nothing wrong now, he wanted to come back and see, he would meet old friends, and deal with some things by the way, after all, he had been away for some days.
I guess he can't rest assured about the business here, after all, he is a businessman, and his interests are the most important.
However, I refused him without hesitation, and told him to stay for half a year before coming back, and although he was very reluctant, he still agreed for the sake of my face.
However, what I didn't expect was that the next day, Mrs. Qian, who had not shown up for a long time, suddenly came to the hotel to look for me.
Her face was a little solemn, and before she could speak, my heart was a little heavy.
"Mr. Zhang, is it true that the person surnamed Qian has recently started pestering you again?" Mrs. Qian asked with a frown.
I smiled, "How could it be, it's nothing, how could he still come to me, not to mention that we haven't had any contact during this time, is something wrong, Mrs. Qian." β
Mrs. Qian took a deep breath, grabbed the strap of the bag tightly with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhang, I have completed all the formalities for divorce with him, now he is him and I am me, I am about to settle abroad, I want to come and say a few words to you before leaving." β
"Mrs. Qian is going to settle abroad, that's good, you should really put your business and career aside at your age and enjoy the blessings." I said politely.
From her expression, I could see a trace of worry and sadness, no matter what kind of trouble she had with Qian Siming, after all, as an original partner, her worries and feelings for Qian Siming could not fade all at once.
Mrs. Qian closed her eyes and inhaled hard, opened her eyes and looked directly at me, "Mr. Zhang, if that bastard comes to you again and asks you to help him, you must ignore him, he really doesn't deserve your help to help him anymore." β
"Thank you Mrs. Qian for reminding me, I want to live the rest of my life, and Boss Qian will not need my help with anything."
Mrs. Qian shook her head vigorously, "No, you don't know him at all, he is a person who is very deep in the city, once he gets entangled with a person, it is really like a dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off, in short, with my understanding of him for so many years, I advise you to really ignore him, even if his life is in danger, you don't have the slightest sympathy and pity for him, he is really not worthy of your help, even if you are to rescue a dog on the side of the road, you don't give him the slightest chance." β
I looked at her with a smile on her face.
I paused, smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mrs. Qian, and if there is anything inconvenient to say now, then we can find another time to talk about it." β
Mrs. Qian sighed deeply, rubbed her temples, and shook her head slowly, "I didn't come today to tell you anything specific, I really just want to give you some reminders, Mr. Zhang, you are too kind, it is easy to be used by others, you must stay away from Qian Siming, really, otherwise he will drag you into the water." β
"Hahaha, that's not it, I'm an adult after all, I have my own judgment, not to mention that my relationship with Boss Qian can only be said to be an ordinary friend, I won't believe everything he says so easily."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, you have to worry." When Mrs. Qian said this, the big stone that weighed on my heart immediately became heavier.
She seemed to have something to tell me, but she couldn't say anything specific, not because she didn't want to tell me directly, but because she didn't know exactly what to say, which made me feel very uneasy.
A woman's intuition is very accurate, she just has a hunch, but she can't say it.
After sending Mrs. Qian away, I sat in the office with Zhao Heizi and sorted out the contact with Qian Siming.
Zhao Heizi felt that the reason why Mrs. Qian suddenly came to me at this time and asked me not to deal with Qian Siming anymore should be that their divorce farce made her disheartened, and she came to persuade me with some personal feelings.
And my own judgment is the same, in the past so long since I have been in contact with Qian Siming, in addition to feeling that this person is greedy for money and lustful, and attaches great importance to interests, I have not found any other problems in him.
But when I thought of Manman's entanglement with Qian Siming before, if it was just for that document, it seemed a little unreasonable, didn't she want to die? There should be something that makes her rather put her life and death on the line.
If we can't find Qian Siming's problem for the time being, we can only give up.
I asked Zhao Heizi to arrange for someone to keep an eye on him, and notify me as soon as I found out that Qian Siming came back.
A few hours later, still feeling that something was wrong, I took the soul chaser charm and immediately sensed where Manman was now.
To my surprise, I was able to easily identify a city where she was out of town.
Now that she can track down where she is, she shouldn't be doing anything dangerous right now.
After thinking about it, I felt that I couldn't strain my nerves too much, maybe Mrs. Qian was a kind reminder, I don't need to think too much.
After dinner that night, I wanted to go out for a walk with Xue Xiaxia, but she was sorry to say that she was a little sleepy and wanted to go to the bedroom to rest for a while.
She is now in a special period, and pregnant women have slept a lot, so I accompanied her to the bedroom to lie down, and after she fell asleep, I went back to the study to sort out the previous case materials.
As soon as I got into thinking about the case, I lost track of time.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a piercing scream from the bedroom, it was Xue Xiaxia!
I threw down the pen in my hand, pulled out the chair and rushed out of the study, "Xia Xia, what's wrong with you?" β
I pushed the bedroom door open and rushed in, and she was already sitting up, her chest heaving violently, her face full of horror.
I threw myself over and hugged her, "What's going on, is it a nightmare?" β
There was no movement in the formation at all, so I judged that she was probably having another nightmare.
"I ...... I just dreamed of a woman...... She...... She ......"
I patted her on the back, "It's okay, you speak slowly, don't be afraid." β
Xue Xiaxia was frightened, gasping for breath, and it took more than 20 seconds for her to gradually calm down, holding my hand tightly, "How could I have such a terrible dream, it's really creepy." β
She exhaled with difficulty, and said the dream in tatters.
She dreamed that she was walking by a river filled with dust and mist, the water of this river was very turbulent, the banks of the river were planted with very tall unknown plants, and the soil under the ground was wet, it should have rained before.
At this moment, she saw a woman wearing a white dress lying not far in front of her, lying on the ground struggling with difficulty, there was a lot of blood on her body, especially her abdomen, the white skirt fabric was completely stained red with blood, which looked shocking.
The woman's long hair covered her entire face, and she was close to the ground, so Xue Xiaxia couldn't see her face clearly.
The woman let out a painful moan, and Xue Xiaxia cautiously walked over and asked her what was wrong and if she needed help, but the woman couldn't say anything.
