deep white secret

Chapter 145 Another life choice
Xu Jie received a call from Lin Chengtian in his sleep. The surroundings were quiet. Lin Chengtian was in his car in the parking lot, and Xu Jie was immersed in darkness.

"Xu Jie, I saw Ningxia."

Xu Jieyou opened his eyes suddenly and woke up instantly.

"Yes, just now, she was working as a bartender at the Ruby Club."

Xu Jie lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and opened the curtains with a loud noise.

The night poured in like water, and Xu Jie's body felt numb.

"What do you want to say?"

Xu Jie was thinking about thousands of possibilities in his mind like a movie, and his voice was trembling.

"Xu Jie, your voice betrays you."

Lin Chengtian on the other side of the phone suddenly laughed.

"Lin Chengtian, what do you want to do?"

Xu Jie thought of the worst possibility, no matter what Lin Chengtian wanted, he could trade himself for Ningxia's peace.

"Scared?"

Lin Chengtian's voice was brisk and full of pride, and Xu Jie heard the sound of the car starting.

"Give me your address, and I'll see you."

Xu Jie was immersed in the darkness alone, feeling panic for the first time.

Since joining the criminal investigation team, Xu Jie has never been afraid of anything. He is always the first to catch suspects.

But now he was afraid, and his body was getting colder and colder. He didn't know how long it took until there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, the light from the corridor shone on Lin Chengtian. He smiled and held the door frame with one hand and touched his chin with the other:

"Captain Xu, are you not inviting me in?"

Xu Jie dodged, and Lin Chengtian walked in carelessly.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and there were a few lights on in the building opposite. Xu Jie didn't turn on the lights, so the two of them stood in front of the window, letting the moonlight shine on them.

"Xu Jie, do you have nothing to say to me?"

Lin Chengtian smelled of alcohol, but Xu Jie knew that he was not drunk, and Lin Chengtian's eyes were burning, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock tonight.

Xu Jie remained silent. He looked back at Lin Chengtian and lowered his head slightly.

"You are so brave, you really scared me, but who am I? After all, I am also a criminal police officer."

When Lin Chengtian said this, Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Ningxia must be fine, that's great!
"Xu Jie, what are you doing?"

This time Xu Jie raised his head:
"Tell me about the experience. Did you meet Ningxia?"

"Of course, otherwise how would I know what Ningxia is doing?"

"Do you know now?"

Xu Jie didn't want to say too much. Even at this moment, he still doubted Lin Chengtian.

"Shi Yihang and I talked on the phone, and Ningxia also said part of it, Xu Jie, I know you don't trust me."

Lin Chengtian saw Xu Jie lowering his eyebrows and smiled again:
"I can't cheat Shi Yihang. I didn't talk to him on the phone. I want you to tell me, Xu Jie, Ningxia is your girlfriend. For you, I gave up pursuing Ningxia."

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Lin Chengtian walked to the refrigerator and opened the door, reached for a can of beer, opened it by himself, and then threw another bottle to Xu Jie after thinking about it.

The two of them sat on the floor like this. Lin Chengtian took off his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"My eyesight has remained the same and is very good. But after I left the criminal investigation team, I put on these glasses. Why? I wanted to change my appearance and look more like a businessman."

Lin Chengtian was a little different under the moonlight.

Xu Jie silently took a sip of beer. When Lin Chengtian was in the criminal police team, the two of them never had such an open and honest chat.

"Xu Jie, I regret it very much."

Without waiting for Xu Jie's reply, Lin Chengtian went on talking on his own:

"Especially today I recognized Ning Xia. I thought she was on a mission. At that moment, I felt very unbearable. I have never felt this way before."

Lin Chengtian put the beer to his mouth and took a big gulp:

"This is my life now. It revolves around money. I only have money in my eyes, but apart from money, I have nothing else."

Maybe it was the moonlight, maybe it was the darkness, but Xu Jie actually saw a sparkle in Lin Chengtian's eyes.

Once Xu Jie had nothing but resentment towards Lin Chengtian, and the arm of the policeman Li was a painful blow to Xu Jie.Xu Jie blamed all this on Lin Chengtian.

"I have made mistakes, Xu Jie, but who is young and has no blood? I have always been unconvinced by you. Looking at it now, it is really ridiculous."

Xu Jie picked up the beer and put it in front of Lin Chengtian. Lin Chengtian held his own beer bottle and thought for two seconds, then gently clinked the glass with Xu Jie.

"Now, have we settled our differences?"

"Have you seen Police Officer Li in the past two years?"

Lin Chengtian shook his head.

Xu Jie said in a low voice, quietly:
"I can't help it, because Police Officer Li is a good detective, but his arms still can't lift heavy objects. To be honest, they are useless."

"It's my reason."

This is two years since Lin Chengtian left the police force.For the first time, I faced this matter calmly.

"Xu Jie, now I know I was wrong."

Lin Chengtian is a man, a shrewd businessman, he is arrogant, and he has goals. At this moment, he apologized to Xu Jie, and Xu Jie knew that Lin Chengtian had changed.

"If you have the chance, tell Police Officer Li in person, Lin Chengtian, everyone will make mistakes in their life. It just depends on whether the mistake is big or small, and whether the person who made the mistake can bear it."

"Xu Jie, I thought I could surpass you if I left the criminal investigation team. I only found out tonight that you have left me far behind."

"The path you chose is different, Lin Chengtian, you are outstanding in your field."

"No, anyone can do business, but not everyone can be a criminal police officer."

Xu Jie shook his head, took another sip of beer with Lin Chengtian, and looked at him intently:
"Tell me about Ningxia, is she on a mission?"

"Yes."

"She was very witty and managed to change the subject when I almost blurted out and identified her!"

Xu Jie felt a little sad. He could understand Ningxia's mood at that moment. Was she panicked?Are you ready to escape?
"How is she now?"

"I realized what Ningxia might be doing, so I didn't say a word. Then I took the initiative to look for her. I didn't understand what she said, but I guess she must have known that I would look for you."

"What's the original story?"

"There was a man named Meng Xiangren, who was her brother, but Meng Xiangren seemed to have been killed."

Xu Jie lowered his eyebrows and smiled. Yes, Ning Xia's meaning was very clear. Lin Chengtian would definitely come to him to verify.

"How is your relationship with Li Wenhai from Ruby Club?"

"That's a man who is all-around well-hidden. What could Ruby do? Who doesn't know? With him protecting her, nothing will happen."

"what for?"

Lin Chengtian smiled:
"Captain Xu is still so cautious. Let's put it this way, it's half illegal."

"You know him very well?"

"It's hard to say. In the financial circle, I'm considered a talent. People look for me in many investment projects, but I have a bottom line. I will never do anything I can't do."

"Li Wenhai came to see you?"

"I have looked for him, and my investment in him has never failed. I am his black gold client. How ridiculous it is to think about it. What have I been doing in the past few years?"

"Do you also know about Li Wenhai's illegal activities?"

"I know a little bit, this time...is this the purpose?"

Xu Jie really couldn't say.

Xu Jie didn't say anything, but Lin Chengtian also guessed it.

"Li Wenhai is very cautious, Xu Jie, we have a long way to go."

Lin Chengtian could say this, Xu Jie believed that Lin Chengtian had once again made a choice in life.
