CHAPTER XIX

Room

Cheng Jinyu's fall from the building was quickly forgotten.

Human beings are a very strange race, obviously with a short lifespan, but they like to spend a lot of time "eating melons" to satisfy their freshness and curiosity.

Among the Six Realms, only humans do not have a unified leader, perhaps because humans are only loyal to themselves.

After the detention is over, life continues. Xia Yue stubbornly refused Yutian's "alms", and the price was that he worked hard to find a part-time job to repay his debts.

Xiong Yuqi was very enthusiastic to help and recommended Xia Yue to work in Xie Guanyan's milk tea shop.

Xie Guanyan's family background is relatively solid, and he came out to open a milk tea shop, in Xiong Yuqi's words, it is a rich young master to experience life. Xia Yue works in a bubble tea shop, firstly, the work is easy and close to the school, and secondly, the remuneration is more generous than ordinary part-time jobs.

I can't find fault with all sides, and there really is no reason to refuse.

So Xia Yue followed Xiong Yuqi to the bubble tea shop and met the boss Xie Guanyan.

The first impression of this boy was a bit of a white-faced scholar, but after a little observation, Xia Yue was sure that he was not as simple as he looked.

His gaze was very sharp, with a sense of aggression that weighed and scrutinized, and only when he looked at Xiong Yuqi did he have a little bit of gentleness.

He wears a plate ring on the thumb of his left hand, which is completely black and the material is unrecognizable. The ring on the thumb is generally a symbol of power status.

Thinking of the ring, Xia Yue unconsciously rubbed her finger, but the place she touched was empty, which made her restless for no reason.

Xie Guanyan was also looking at her. He had heard a lot of things about this girl, who used to be a well-known bully, but later his temperament changed greatly, and he fought with Cheng Jinyu, and he went to the detention center because of this.

Although Xiong Yuqi mentioned her every time he mentioned her, he meant to appreciate and protect her, but Xie Guanyan had to be on guard, and now that they met, they deepened his vigilance.

This girl really doesn't look like a good stubble.

Whether it is an extremely relaxed state or an overly indifferent look, it is not like what a flower girl should have.

Xiong Yuqi stood between the two of them, inexplicably smelling the smell of gunpowder.

"You will communicate in detail about the specific work matters. I still have some homework to complete, so I'll go back first. ”

When he was about to walk out of the store, Xiong Yuqi turned around and admonished, "Xie Guanyan, Xia Yue is my friend, you take care of her, don't bully her." ”

Xie Guanyan secretly laughed, even if he was embarrassed, this Xia Yue was probably not a fish to be slaughtered. But despite this mental activity, he still responded with a careless voice.

After Xiong Yuqi's figure completely disappeared outside the door, the two people in the store didn't even bother to disguise a polite smile.

There was a long silence in the bubble tea shop. In the silent scorching, in the end, it was Xia Yue who lowered his head first. After all, she is "sending people under the fence", and she must show some sincerity.

"I'll be working here for a long time after that. If you don't see what you look up and don't see when you look down, it's better to tell each other first. ”

Xie Guanyan's expression did not ease because of this, "Guess why I am the only one to take care of this bubble tea shop." I didn't want to hire you, but I couldn't beat Xiong Yuqi...... You can stay here, but it's better to be smart and not ask about things that aren't related to work. ”

Xia Yue looked around when she heard this, thoughtfully, "This is beyond my expectations, there are secrets in the bubble tea shop that even Xiong Yuqi doesn't know." ”

Xie Guanyan clenched his back molars, and the corner of his forehead was faintly stretched.

In evenly matched matchups, victory or defeat is often decided in an instant.

He still underestimated the enemy, and his weakness was exposed in three or two sentences, and he was restrained by the opponent.

After a short stalemate, he stared at Xia Yue's eyes and said coldly, "I can hide it without it, but I hope you also know how to be measured." ”

"Don't worry, Xiong Yuqi won't know anything from me."

It's easy to deal with smart people, but it's dangerous. However, if Xia Yue is untrustworthy, Xie Guanyan also has corresponding means to solve the problem. For now, he believed her promise.

He called "Ao Chen" to himself, but there was clearly no one in the milk tea shop. Just as Xia Yue was about to ask, a secret door opened on the innermost wall of the bubble tea shop.

A thin and tall boy walked out, glanced at Xia Yue, and then said respectfully towards Xie Guanyan, "Boss." ”

Xie Guanyan nodded in response, and then made a "please" gesture to Xia Yue. Xia Yue was not timid, and walked straight through the secret door.

There was no small amount of space behind the door, but only a brown leather sofa and a wooden cabinet. Judging from the objects provided, there is nothing special about it. Xia Yue patiently waited for Xie Guanyan to explain in detail.

Xie Guanyan sat on the sofa, rubbing the plate ring of his thumb, weighing how much information to reveal. Ao Chen stood behind him with his eyes down.

"There are more or less ...... in every city Underground organizations, doing shady livelihoods. I joined the organization by chance five years ago. Because he studied finance and used relevant knowledge to help the organization make profits, he mixed up in a higher position...... It's just that I'm tired of it in the past two years, and I rarely bother with organizational matters. ”

"This room." Xie Guanyan raised his hand and gestured, "I used to deal with some unruly things, but I saw a lot of blood, and the white paint on the wall was layered on top of each other. ”

Xia Yue's expression was still unwavering. It's just a high-level member of the underground organization, and she's still a lonely soul attached to a person, which is really trivial.

However, speaking of which, the underground organization has a wide range of contacts, and there is one thing she is worried about, Xie Guanyan may be able to help.

"I'd like to ask you to help me find someone."

Xie Guanyan looked very surprised, but before he could speak, Ao Chen behind him exclaimed, "What do you think of the boss, do you think it's your private detective?" ”

"No offense, I'm sincere for help."

Xie Guanyan raised his hand to signal Ao Chen to be quiet, "Why should I help you?" But he also knew that his words were really unreliable. He was pinched by Xia Yue's weakness, and now that he has handed in his hole cards, he has no bargaining chips to negotiate conditions.

The phone rang at the right time, Xia Yue pressed to answer, and then clicked on the outside, Xiong Yuqi's voice came out of the speaker, "How's the talk?" If Xie Guanyan dares to embarrass you, you can tell me directly. ”

Xia Yue paused deliberately for a while, and did not reply immediately, as if she was embarrassed. In the end, Xie Guanyan couldn't bear it, lost the battle, and nodded resignedly.

Xia Yue accepted it when he saw it, and immediately said to the other end of the phone, "It's over, he's polite to me, you don't have to worry." Xiong Yuqi asked a few more questions, Xia Yue replied one by one, and finally ended the call peacefully.

"Tell me, who are you looking for? If there are any other requirements, they are all said for now. Xie Guanyan had a posture of breaking the jar and breaking it, rubbing his forehead in annoyance.

"A person named Zhou Ming should be a gangster. He went to blackmail You Zihui before, and he was instructed by someone, and I want to know who is behind him. ”

Xie Guanyan tilted his head and ordered, "Send someone to look for it, and if you find it, you will directly tie someone up, remember to be quiet." Ao Chen responded in a low voice and led the order out.

The room fell silent again, Xia Yue hesitated, but still asked, "Do you like Xiong Yuqi?" ”

Xie Guanyan chuckled lightly and was noncommittal. Xia Yue was puzzled, "Why? This so-called 'like' is clearly not beneficial, but rather makes you subject to others. ”

"Feelings can't be defined as good or bad, liking is liking, regardless of pros and cons." Xie Guanyan showed the first sincere smile since they met, "It's the weakness and the armor." If you have someone you like, you'll understand how it feels. ”

Xia Yue did not answer. She didn't know that this logic, which seemed absurd at the moment, would also engulf her in the future.
