Since he was a child, because he was the heir of the empire, whether it was his parents, himself or others, they had very high requirements for him.

He's always been outstanding, which means that even if he does well, he takes it for granted.

Praise him so bluntly because of a little thing like this, after he is sensible, it is rare to have it.

Therefore, when he saw this sentence, he couldn't tell what it was like for a while.

This complex emotion didn't stay in his heart for long, and when Gu Hazhi put his attention back on the light screen again, the corners of his mouth that had been tense all night also let go a lot.

All in all, she's fine.

……

After Shen Mian left a message to Gu Haozhi, she waited for about an hour or so before the person who had just left appeared in front of her again.

To her surprise, Yin Jinchuan asked her directly:

"Is it okay to let her stay with you tonight?"

The "she" here refers to Qiao Jiaying.

Shen Mian glanced at Qiao Jiaying, and when he saw her faintly expectant expression, he suddenly smiled: "That house is not mine, you have the final say." There is nothing wrong with having a little beauty together. ”

She saw that although Qiao Jiaying's face was still nervous, it was much better than when she left here before, and it should be that the conversation just now was relatively smooth.

Judging from Qiao Jiaying's reluctance to call her mother, at least tonight, she is probably reluctant to go home to live.

Yin Jinchuan's consideration is probably that she lives with himself and Wei Duo, at least to ensure her safety temporarily.

Shen Mian passed by Yin Jinchuan's side before leaving: "Is it overtime?" ”

"Count." Yin Jinchuan's voice replied.

Shen Mian hooked the corners of his mouth and chuckled: "I don't have to pay overtime in vain, look at your mobile phone, I just sent you something, maybe you will be interested." ”

After speaking, she left the police station with Qiao Jiaying and Wei Duo.

Originally, Wei Duo had to stay and continue to work overtime, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he said that he would change the schedule with others.

At least, after Shen Mian sent Yin Jinchuan that picture, and they got important information from Qiao Jiaying, some of the people in their criminal investigation team were busy this night.

On the way back, Wei Duo asked curiously, "What did you send to the captain?" ”

She had just seen the captain's face change.

"What will help you solve the case......" Shen Mian smiled, not too bluntly.

Shen Mian looked at the girl who had not made a sound since the beginning, and after the other party met her gaze, his eyes shrank for some reason, but in the next second, she seemed to have mustered up enough courage, and finally opened her mouth under Shen Mian's curiosity: "That ......"

"Huh?"

"You threw your phone out to save me before, I ...... I'll give it back to you! It's just that...... My recent part-time salary is still ...... It hasn't been sent yet, so can you ...... it then?"

Qiao Jiaying spoke a little slurred.

However, after hearing this, Shen Mian probably understood where her twist came from.

Let's just say, I dared to come back with myself as a stranger before, and there is no reason why I didn't dare to talk to myself after a trip to the police.

It turned out that when the tension was mostly gone, I began to think of something else.

"You think it's a cell phone? I'm not in the habit of carrying two phones with me. Shen Mian wanted her to relax a little more from just now, so the smile on her face magnified a little.

"Huh?"

So, isn't it?

Qiao Jiaying was stunned for a moment, and her appearance was exactly the same as when she saw Shen Mian take out her mobile phone from her clothes pocket in the lounge before.

"That's a gadget I bought on the way to the sacrificial ceremony, if it's really a mobile phone, throw it out like that, not to mention the question of whether it's expensive or not, the phone will probably be scrapped at the same time as it lands, but it won't play a big role."

No matter how strong the phone is, it can't help but fall like that.

"I heard that you have been working part-time, and the money to buy a mobile phone is not a decimal, so I won't cheat you on this. If you really thank me, when you invite me to a meal when I get back, the little thing for a meal can be considered an equivalent exchange. Shen Mian smiled and patted Qiao Jiaying's shoulder.

She didn't say anything worthless and didn't have to pay it back, which would probably hurt the other party's pride.

Even if they haven't been together for a long time, she can see that Qiao Jiaying is a girl with strong self-esteem.

Asking her to invite herself to dinner actually made Qiao Jiaying feel better.

Sure enough, after she said those words, Qiao Jiaying's eyes lit up obviously, and then nodded vigorously: "Okay!" ”

Wei Duo, who was listening to the conversation between them on the side, hooked the corners of his mouth.

Sleep is still as gentle as before.

Since he was a child, Shen Mian always seemed to be like this, never comforting people directly, but taking care of others' feelings when they were unconscious.

This has not changed even since I grew up.

As an adult, Qiao Jiaying is naturally not a fool, and naturally can understand the meaning of Shen Mian.

As a result, the smile on his face became more and more real.

Qiao Jiaying sped up his original pace by two steps, narrowing the distance between himself and Shen Mian.

……

Rewind time to when Shen Mian and Qiao Jiaying had just arrived at the police station.

Several men searched the girl's voice in the darkness for each other's whereabouts. From the very beginning, though, they felt that something wasn't quite right.

When they finally got closer to the voice, the strange feeling became more and more apparent.

"Not quite right......" said the man at the head. We're probably fooled. ”

"No......" the tone of the person next to him was a little hesitant.

They hadn't found Qiao Jiaying's figure along the way, and because it was several people together, they observed more carefully than one person. In addition, because it is night, if the other party is hiding somewhere, there are shadows that can help them find it.

What's more, at night, a girl, when shouting for help, shouldn't go to a place that is too dark.

Think about it this way......

"Over there!"

Eventually, several people found the source of the sound.

When they finally got closer, they finally understood what the strange feeling that had been haunting their hearts was.

Under the light of a few flashlights, a brown bear the size of a palm lay in the grass.

From Xiao Xiong's body, Qiao Jiaying's voice came out: "Help! Who's going to save me? Someone kidnapped! ”

Happy New Year
