Gu Xisui looked at her departing back and sighed softly.

The rich woman's departure was like a brief turmoil, which quickly subsided. Gu Jisui regained his original calm, he looked down at the coffee cup in his hand, the cup of coffee was like his mood, slightly steaming, but it was never boiling.

Outside, the sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Blues Cafe and casts a warm light and shadow on the wooden tables covered with white tablecloths. The tablecloth looks as white as new in the sun, and the wooden top has a dark brown sheen, as if telling the story of the years.

A nimble bird suddenly landed on the windowsill, tilting its little head and observing the scene indoors curiously with its black bean-like eyes. Its feathers shimmer slightly in the sun, delicate and vivid. The bird's paws gently grasped the windowsill, and its slightly trembling wings revealed its vigilance.

Then, the bird flutters its wings lightly and flies away, leaving behind a string of crisp birdsong. It soars in the blue sky, free and cheerful, like those dust that flies in the sun, free and light.

The sunlight outside the window began to warm up, and the interior of the Blues Cafe became more welcoming and cozy. On the other side of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the tall plane tree swayed gently in the breeze, its leaves shimmering in the sunlight.

The interior of the café is simple and sophisticated. The pale yellow walls are hung with some old black and white photos and wooden murals, giving the whole space a retro and elegant atmosphere. Soft lighting sprinkles around every corner, making the whole space feel warm and serene.

The bird flew back out the window and stopped at the plane tree.

The café's doorbell rang sharply, shattering the otherwise quiet atmosphere of the room.

Gu Xisui put down the coffee cup in his hand and frowned, obviously a little impatient. He tapped on the table and motioned for Thord to sit down.

"You're looking for me?" A low, hoarse male voice rang out in the corner of the café, as if drifting through the night mist.

Gu Xisui turned his head and looked directly at Suo De with a pair of deep eyes, "Yes, I was looking for you." Sit down, let's talk. ”

Suo De didn't know why, looked at Gu Jisui's serious face, hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down. An ominous premonition welled up in his heart, as if he had been swept into an unknown storm.

"Who are you?" He asked suspiciously, trying to catch some clues from Gu Xisui's facial expression.

Gu Jisui didn't answer immediately, he was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to speak. His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, as if weaving a silent melody.

"You don't know me? But I know you. He suddenly raised his head, and a pair of sharp eyes looked directly at Soder, "Did you show up in the park a few days ago and talk to a woman named Bai Lan on the phone?" Do you know Bai Lan? ”

Thord was almost speechless in shock, his hands shaking, and his coffee cup swayed on the table. He tried his best to keep his composure, but the surprise and doubt in his heart had completely overwhelmed him.

"How do you know so well?" He finally asked, his voice dry and shaky.

Gu Xisui looked at him with a smile, and there was an inexplicable glint in those deep eyes, "I naturally have my own way." He said it lightly, but it made Sood feel a heavy sense of oppression.

Soder felt a chill hit him. The stranger seems to have some of his secrets, which fills his heart with unease. He tried to squeeze a smile out of his face, but I knew he might look worse than crying.

"So, what do you have to do with me?" Thord did his best to make his voice sound calm, even though his heart was already churning like a stormy wave.

Gu Jisui leaned back in his chair, folded his hands in front of his chest, and looked directly at Soder. His eyes became serious, sharp as a knife, as if he could see through all lies. The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.

"What is your relationship with Bai Lan?" Gu Jisui's voice was calm, but full of majesty.

Thord replied with some humility, "This is my personal matter. ”

Gu Xisui smiled coldly, "As far as I know, you have been very poor lately, and you owe a lot of money for gambling. ”

Sod's body trembled slightly, and he looked up at Gu Jisui, a trace of helplessness and fear flashed in his eyes. He knew he couldn't hide it anymore.

The wind outside the window gently blew the curtains, bringing in a burst of cool air. But Thord felt his sweat soaking through the clothes on his back. He licked his dry lips and finally spoke, "Yes, I owe a lot of money. But there is no improper relationship between me and Bai Lan. ”

Gu Jisui's sharp eyes seemed to be able to perceive everything, making Sood feel that there was nowhere to hide.

Gu Jisui didn't speak, just looked at Suo De quietly, waiting for his explanation. There was silence in the room, save for the heavy breathing of the two of them echoing through the air.

Soder licked his dry lips and continued, "Bai Lan and I were high school classmates, and we used to have a relationship. However, that is already in the past.

"I heard that you've been investigating Bai Lan's background recently and want to know everything about her. I can understand your feelings, however, I hope you don't misunderstand the relationship between Bai Lan and me. We have long since lost contact with each other, just ordinary old classmates. ”

Gu Xisui stared at Sod's eyes and was silent for a moment. His heart fluctuated, but he tried his best to stay calm.

"Really? Nothing else? Gu Xisui's voice was flat, but there was no doubt.

Sood hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "I owe a lot of people money, and they've been pushing me. I had no choice but to go to Bai Lan for help. I knew it wasn't good, but I had no other choice. ”

Gu Xisui didn't speak, but his eyes became sharper. He stared at Thord as if to read what was really going on in his heart.

The air seemed to be frozen by a thick block of ice, and the two fell into the abyss of silence. The wind outside the window gradually grew stronger like a beast, cutting the texture of the night like a knife, and in the strong wind, the curtains swayed in the wind, like a puppet controlled by the wind. Every swaying is like a silent resistance, revealing the tension and struggle between the two of them.

Gu Jisui sat at the shabby wooden table, his eyes as deep as a lake, staring at Soder. His hands are elegantly stacked on the table, his fingers like notes on a musical score, as if silently revealing his inner world. His voice was like a cold steel needle, piercing into the dull air, "As far as I know, you called Bai Lan a few days ago to ask for money, why haven't you paid it off yet?" Could it be that Bai Lan won't lend it to you? ”
