Zhao Heizi was taken aback by me, "What's wrong?" ”

"I haven't returned the "Sunrise Ida Biography" I borrowed from Molu Books, and tonight is the deadline." I patted my head again, "I almost made a big mistake, if I can't return it as scheduled, the ghost knows what tricks Boss Ma will come up with to torture me." ”

Zhao Heizi stretched his brows and said with a smile, "No, I guess he is just trying to add some suspense, and it is impossible to really have any problems to make it difficult for you." ”

I shook my head and said seriously, "No, my intuition tells me that this Ma Yuan has something to do with Lin Jun, his identity is very suspicious, and the consequences he said may be true, before I don't understand what medicine the other party sells in the gourd, I should follow his script first." ”

"Alright then, you hurry over and return the book, and call me if there's a situation."

I nodded, walked briskly out of the office, and drove straight to my home to pick up my books.

Ma Yuan wouldn't do it directly with me, he should be ready to put a long line to catch big fish, and a quick battle is something that low-level demons do.

When I got home, I picked up the book, and Wang Haitang heard the voice and came out, and stopped me who was about to go out.

"Begonia, you haven't slept yet, it's so late." I looked back at her and smiled.

Wang Haitang frowned, and said faintly, "Cousin, you are still going out at this time, seeing that you are in a hurry, you won't encounter anything, right?" ”

She's getting more and more suspicious now, and I'm worried she's going to have a sudden nervous breakdown.

"No, I borrowed a book from the bookstore before, and I almost forgot about it when it was the day to return the book today, so I'm going to return the book now, it's okay, you can rest first."

"It's almost twelve o'clock, will the bookstore still open?" Wang Haitang frowned and asked.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered that I had forgotten the time, and I was rushing back just now, but there was a voice in my subconscious saying that Boss Ma was not closing, he was waiting for me to return the book.

I sneered, "I'll just call the boss in the past, we agreed before." ”

Wang Haitang still frowned and looked puzzled, "What books must be returned today, even if it is a day late, isn't it okay to pay the rent?" ”

Her repeated questioning made my heart misch, and I don't know why I look at her now, and it feels like her eyes are hollow, like a corpse.

This feeling gave me goosebumps all over my body, not because of fear, but because I would have an indescribable worry and horror in the face of such a strange state of familiar people, lest she would really become a corpse in the next second.

"Hehe, it's not that I'm afraid that I won't be free tomorrow, I can just have a drink with the boss." I laughed.

Wang Haitang let out an "oh" and said expressionlessly, "Then you drink less, and you will drive when you come back." ”

"Of course, if I can't drive the car, I'll ask for a substitute driver."

Wang Haitang glanced at me, squeezed a smile from the corner of his mouth, and turned into the room.

I looked at the closed bedroom door, and suddenly a suspicious thought welled up, could she be a ...... High-level demons, similar to Ma Yuan, they are good at disguise and communication, and there is no trace of human society at all?

I put this thought aside for a moment, turned around and went out, and drove towards the Molu Bookstore.

I looked at the time when I drove into that street, it was already twelve o'clock, and it was only six or seven minutes away, was Ma Yuan still in the bookstore?

Seeing the lights of the Molu Bookstore from a distance, my heart was immediately excited and complicated, Ma Yuan was really waiting for me to return the book, and he expected that I "wouldn't dare" to exceed the time.

I parked the car at the door, got out of the car and ran in quickly, Ma Yuan, who was sitting behind the cash register, raised his head when he heard the sound, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, Boss Ma, I almost forgot to return the book." I smiled and placed the cloth bag containing "The Legend of Hirise Ida" in front of him, "Please check it, I promise there is no damage or dirt." ”

Ma Yuan didn't move, he didn't even look at it, he just looked at me like this, and his smile looked deep and weird.

"Why hasn't Boss Ma closed yet, won't he be waiting for me to return the book?" I asked, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Ma Yuan took a sip of tea from the purple sand teapot and pointed to the mahogany Taishi chair next to him, "Mr. Zhang, please take a seat." ”

I walked over and sat down, and said flamboyantly, "This mahogany wood is so pure, it's hard to buy it in the world."

"Mr. Zhang finished reading the book, did you get the result you wanted?" Ma Yuan asked very calmly, but it made my heart rise to my throat.

This old guy is starting to talk to me.

I pinched my chin and pretended to think for a moment, "Well, the special thing about this book is that the words it uses have never been recorded in human history, and I read the content very interestingly, and I was just curious to see it." ”

I deliberately didn't answer his question, and Ma Yuan didn't continue to ask, just laughed and drank tea.

"Thank you Boss Ma for waiting for me to this time, it's not too early, Boss Ma, you better check the book!"

Ma Yuan smiled, "This book will be given to Mr. Zhang, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for you when we know each other." ”

I was surprised, "Boss Ma, but this book is very precious to you, why did you give it to me like this?" I'm a little bit hard to accept. ”

"What don't you dare, this is fate, this book has been placed in the bookstore, and it is estimated that I can't find the second person who will open it, so it's better to give it to you who like this book." Ma Yuan looked directly at me, his smiling eyes were like deep seawater, and I was a little confused for a while.

Ma Yuan pushed the book in front of me, "I can see that Mr. Zhang likes this book very much, no matter what reason you like it, you deserve it, take it back, don't be polite to me, accept this book, we will be friends." ”

I waved my hand, "It's better not to be like this, Boss Ma, thank you for your willingness to lend me this book to read, I'm done with it now, it's better to leave this book here." ”

Ma Yuan laughed, "Then Mr. Zhang just doesn't want to be friends with me?" ”

I leaned back and explained, "How can it be, it's my honor to be able to meet Boss Ma, after all, as a businessman, the most I face every day is the face of businessmen who are intriguing for interests, and the worldly atmosphere around me makes me feel sometimes breathless, and Boss Ma is a fresh and refined person, Zhang has always regarded you as a high friend." ”

I'm just now realizing that in a hurry, I'm really good at blowing, and I can't say this kind of thing in normal times.

Ma Yuan smiled and nodded, "That's good, just ask Mr. Zhang to accept this book, I think it may help you in the future." ”

My heart tightened, and this old guy laid a foreshadowing here.

I pretended not to understand what he meant, and jumped over directly, "Okay, it's better to be respectful, Boss Ma, I'll take this book, and I'll invite you to dinner another day." ”

Boss Ma waved his hand, "I'm sorry, I don't like to socialize, if you really look up to me, come to my bookstore another day, and we'll chat while drinking tea." ”

"Okay, Boss Ma seems to like tea very much, I will definitely bring you to taste the good tea when I go back."

"That's good, tea is a good thing, I like it." Boss Ma said briskly.

None of us seemed to be able to figure out what to say next, but I think he was waiting for me to speak.

I raised my wrist and pretended to look at my watch, "Oh, it's all this time, and I've been delaying Boss Ma for so long before I know it, now hurry back and rest, I don't think Boss Ma is a person who sleeps late." ”

Ma Yuan shook his head, "Don't be so polite, I know you will definitely come tonight, so wait for you, Mr. Zhang go back and rest, and see you another day." ”

"Boss Ma, then I'll go first." I stood up, carefully picked up the cloth bag containing "The Legend of Hirise Ida", smiled gratefully at him, and walked out of the bookstore door.

Sitting in the car, I deliberately pretended to put things away, but Boss Ma didn't mean to close the door immediately, and I realized that it was very likely that he wanted me to leave before closing the door, or he had other plans.

I stepped on the gas pedal and galloped away, since he was going to give me "The Legend of Sunrise Ida", no matter what his intentions were, I would take it first and see what he planned to do next.

This old guy has a very deep routine, and he starts to trick me before he says three sentences, and pretending to be stupid is the best way to deal with an old fox like him.

Two days later.

At noon, I was just about to go to the hotel restaurant for lunch, Ai Linglong called, anxious to talk to me about important things, in the phone she refused to tell me what the specific thing was, repeatedly emphasized that we must meet before I would say.

It was likely that the little girl was just going to eat with me, but she probably had something to talk about, so I drove out of the hotel and went to the restaurant she said.

As soon as she saw me, she immediately stood up, clapping her hands and stomping her feet, especially not calm, attracting strange glances from the customers around her.

I was a little embarrassed and said, "Miss, it's not that a child hasn't seen the world, can you calm down, others are watching!" ”

"No, I have to tell you right away, I can't bear it at all, I can't wait to come to you when I went to work just now."

I raised an eyebrow, "Oh, what's so urgent?" ”

She took me by the arm and sat down, leaned into my ear and whispered, "I know where Huangliang County is, am I excited, not surprised?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, "You really went to investigate?" ”

Ai Linglong pushed me and said unhappily, "What do you mean I really went to investigate?" I've always put your affairs in the most important place in my heart, seeing what you say is so heartless. ”

I smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, you think too much, I'm just a little surprised and touched that you actually took the time to investigate this matter." ”
