Chapter 277 "Love Relationship"

In Shenghai in October, the temperature at night was only [-] or [-] degrees Celsius.

The autumn evening breeze blew Xu Jie's bangs. At this moment, he suddenly understood what "social death" meant.

Seeing Zhang Yang stepping forward, he really wanted to tell the police:

I'm not familiar with him.

Don't let him come over!
But it was too late. Zhang Yang moved too quickly and was already asking the policeman with a smile:
"He is an employee of my company. Excuse me, has this happened?"

The policeman ignored the publicity and just urged Xu Jie to move forward.

Behind them, another girl in a red dress got out of the police car... No, the correct name should be aunt.

After all, Zhang Yang is only 21 years old, and this lady looks like she should be in her fourth year of life.

Does this woman look familiar?
Being arrested together with Xu Jie...couldn't he be his online dating partner?
Zhang Yang recalled that if she could do whitening, microdermabrasion, face slimming, freckle removal, and acne removal, this aunt with heavy makeup would really look a bit like the beauty in the photo.

He hurried forward a few steps and asked a man with his head lowered:

"Xu Jie, what's going on? Have you been defrauded of money?"

When Xu Jie heard this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly brightened a little.

He raised his head and said to the policeman behind him as he walked:
"Police officer, this is my family member, he is a witness in this case."

"He can prove that I really came here for online dating. You should also take him back for interrogation!"

"Is that so?" The policeman looked at Zhang Yang doubtfully.

"He is indeed dating online. Everyone in our company knows about this."

"If necessary, I can assist in the investigation." Zhang Yang nodded and said.

When he saw Xu Jie acting like this, it was as if he had suddenly awakened just before he was defrauded.

Of course, it's also possible that they just didn't reach an agreement and ended up falling out.

There were no other entertainment activities in the evening anyway, so of course Zhang Yang was willing to come and watch the show.

……

In the mediation room, Zhang Yang finally learned the reason for Xu Jie's arrest:
Fighting in public.

The aunt was his romantic partner. After the two met in front of a hotel, their conversation broke down due to visible fraud.

Xu Jie said: Sorry to bother you, I feel unwell and want to go back to the hotel first.

The aunt said: You are here, I will treat you to a meal before you leave, otherwise I will go back to the hotel with you.

Under coercion and inducement, the two entered the hotel.

Halfway through eating, Xu Jie faintly noticed something was wrong.

He suspected that his aunt was a "food supporter".

Because normal people would not be able to order more than 3000 dishes in one sitting in such an ordinary restaurant.

So when the aunt wanted to find an excuse to escape the bill, Xu Jie caught her.

The two got into a fight at the entrance of the hotel, and finally went to the police station...

"I really don't know him. We met on the road. He struck up a conversation with me and said he wanted to treat me to dinner. Of course I have no objection."

"I didn't expect that after eating, he wanted me to pay the bill. If I didn't pay, he would beat me!"

In the mediation room, the aunt bit her to death for not being familiar with Xu Jie.

Xu Jie took out photos and chat records of his online dating partner, trying to prove that he was here for a date.

But the aunt denied that the person in the photo was her because she didn't look like him at all.

There's no way to refute this point. It's true that he doesn't look like a person at all.

Xu Jie fell in love with a 20-year-old college student online, and now the person sitting across from her could be the mother of the class beauty.

Zhang Yang sat in the seat at the end of the mediation room and listened, suppressing laughter until his face turned red.

In the end, the police had experience and looked at the delivery address Xu Jie used when buying gifts for his girlfriend, and also looked at the delivery address commonly used by his aunt for online shopping, and finally determined the "love relationship" between the two.

Online dating, of course, is also considered love.

"Ahem, I can't do it anymore. I need to go out and take it easy."

Zhang Yang couldn't hold it in any longer, so he went out to wash his face and calm down.

But before he could go back and continue watching the show, he saw Xu Jie signing the mediation agreement and walking out of the conference room.

"Reconciliation?"

Zhang Yang is a little strange, is this too fast?Less than three minutes had passed since he came out of the mediation room.

We reached an agreement so quickly?
"Yeah, yeah, half of the meal is paid for each person, so everything is settled."

Xu Jie bit his lower lip and replied with a painful look on his face.

In fact, if he persisted, he might be able to define the other party as a fraud, but he really couldn't hold on anymore.

Zhang Yang patted Xu Jie on the shoulder sympathetically:

"Let's go back to Gotham. Batman said he won't hit you anymore."

……

After the two came out of the police station, Xu Jie suggested walking around.

In fact, it’s just aimless wandering.

As he walked, Zhang Yang found a long street on the side of the road. It was already early in the morning, but there were still people coming and going, and most of them were old people carrying bags.

"Why are there so many old men and women here in the middle of the night?"

"Maybe the supermarket distributes eggs." Xu Jie replied casually.

"Does your supermarket sell eggs at this time?"

"Let's go and have a look. Maybe it's a [ghost market]."

The only place Zhang Yang could think of that could attract so many elderly people at this hour in the morning was a ghost market.

I followed an old man and walked in, arriving at the end of the Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market on Lingshi Road, in front of a four-story old building.

There is a sign for an antique market on the first floor, but the door is locked.

The uncle who led the way was familiar with the road and walked directly in through a half-open small door next to it.

With Xu Jie accompanying him, Zhang Yang was certainly not afraid.

The two of them followed the uncle all the way through the door and up the stairs. After climbing a few steps, they already heard the bustle of people upstairs.

The ghost market here is actually in a building.

It is indeed Shenghai, a big city where every inch of land is precious.

Climb the stairs to the second floor and you will see the facade of the ghost market - [Collectibles Trading Center].

"I want to go in for a walk, what about you?"

Zhang Yang asked Xu Jie's opinion. Not everyone is interested in antiques.

"Then I'll go in and find a place and sit and wait for you." Xu Jie thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, just bring me something when you leave."

Zhang Yang rubbed his hands in anticipation.

ghost city?

Your leak-picking king is here!
When you walk into the market gate, the layout inside is a bit like a wholesale market, with long counters and glass cabinets behind each counter, which contain a variety of antiques and second-hand goods.

As for the counters next to the sidewalk, they are filled with treasures used to attract customers, and some are even placed on the road.

In front of Zhang Yang, there was a dense flow of people as far as the eye could see. On the contrary, the stalls entering the door were a little deserted.

What are you selling? No one is watching?

He walked over curiously and took a look.

It turned out to be jadeite.

Although they are all dyed with glass or quartz stone, no one buys these things in Shenghai?

It seems that the ghost market here is really different from that in Yangcheng.

Zhang Yang felt a little more hopeful.

He was going to take a look at the place in front where there were people watching. It seemed that someone was bargaining there, which was quite intense.

Before he could move forward, someone grabbed his arm.

When I turned around, it turned out to be the stall owner selling jade. She smiled and said to Zhang Yang:

"Brother, I see that you have a very kind face, and you look like a blessed person."

"Would you like to invite a Jade Buddha back? This is a Jade Buddha made from Hetian jade from the Qing Dynasty. It's very nurturing!"

　Thanks to Yang Xiaomen for the 100 coin reward!
