deep white secret

Chapter 58 This smile is not simple

The two people walked out of the parking lot and quickly bought meat and vegetables at the community supermarket.

Ning Xia is now very familiar with Xu Jie's family. Except for Xu Jie occasionally forcing Ning Xia to eat some carrots, the two of them are also in harmony with each other when it comes to eating.

Xu Jie washed and chopped vegetables as if he were investigating a case, moving quickly and orderly. Ningxia wore an apron and prepared onions, ginger, garlic and various seasonings.

Half an hour later, the two of them sat at the dining table and prepared for a simple dinner:

Rice, stir-fried macaroni, stir-fried pork.

When Ning Xia picked up the rice, she smiled happily at Xu Jie, and Xu Jie sighed:
"Life is so good."

After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Ning Xia raised her head and asked Xu Jie:

"Captain Xu, why do you want to be a detective?"

"this problem?"

Xu Jie thought:

"A boy's ultimate dream. When I was a child, I liked to catch bad guys with a wooden pistol. Maybe this sense of accomplishment stayed deep in my heart until I became an adult."

"What about you? Not many girls want to be criminal police officers. You still have an obsession with joining the criminal investigation team."

Ning Xia thought for a moment and looked at Xu Jie intently:

"I feel guilty and sorry. I want to tell someone that he is great, but it's a bit late. Captain Xu, I will tell you when I have the chance."

Xu Jie's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly with a hint of a smile, and Ning Xia's words made him understand that this person was a man.

But Li Xinyao once said that Ningxia doesn't have a boyfriend. Could it be her ex-boyfriend?This recognition made Xu Jie feel slightly jealous in his heart.

"man?"

"Ah."

"A very important person?"

"Well, it's very important."

Ningxia finally understood what Xu Jie meant and blinked:
"Captain Xu, I can't say anything right now, so I will tell you when the right opportunity comes. Give me some time."

Xu Jie had no choice but to agree dully. Ningxia looked so close and distant under the lights. Xu Jie hoped that this mystery could be solved soon.

When Xu Jie sent Ning Xia home, the community had fallen into silence.

Ning Xia walked beside Xu Jie and said softly:
"Captain Xu, you don't have to send me off."

Xu Jie shook his head and said firmly:
"I know you have no problem capturing and fighting, but now...I'm pursuing you."

Ningxia covered her face.

The two people walked into the elevator room. The elevator was coming down from upstairs. The door opened and a woman in her 30s hurriedly walked out of the elevator.

Ningxia nodded slightly. This is Ningxia's neighbor who lives next door.

Women are very enthusiastic:
"came back!"

"Ah."

The woman looked at Xu Jie intently, said hello with a smile and left.

The two people walked into the elevator, Xu Jie smiled and said:

"You haven't lived here long and you already know your neighbors? I've lived here for almost five years and I don't know anyone except the doorman."

"No, when I first moved in, there were always quarrels next door, which were very loud. One time we happened to go home together and opened the door together, so I paid special attention to her."

Ningxia has some feelings:

"I grew up in a very simple environment. After I entered the police academy and studied cases, I realized that many people's lives are not satisfactory, and the same happened after I joined the criminal investigation team. These cases opened my eyes."

Xu Jie lowered his eyes:

"It's not an eye-opener, but it's also unpredictable. Just now you said that Li Wenrui's case has subverted your three views. Apart from poetry and distant places, most of the time life is just a piece of cake."

This is the feeling I experienced when investigating a case in Ningxia not long ago. I didn't expect Xu Jie to have the same idea.

"Captain Xu, do you think we will be disappointed with life if we fight criminals all day long?"

"What about you? Are you disappointed now?"

"No."

Ningxia wants to say that I haven't bought a big house yet, and I haven't brought my mother to Jinghai City yet. There is also a more hazy and longing thought. Ningxia hasn't fallen in love yet, and she hasn't given Xu Jie a clear answer yet.

When Ning Xia was delivered to his doorstep, Xu Jie was reluctant to leave. He really wished he could be closer to Ning Xia. Xu Jie touched his chin. He was 30 years old, but he was still panicking about relationships.

"Okay, let's go in. You're going to see Zhou Xiaodan tomorrow. Do you need me?"

"No, I can. With Captain Xu by his side, Zhou Xiaodan may not be able to tell the truth."

"Well, I'll go see Zhang Jiafu tomorrow."

As soon as the case was mentioned, Ningxia became interested again:
"Captain Xu, why don't we discuss the case further?"

Xu Jie looked at the time and saw that it was close to eleven o'clock. He reached out and rubbed Ning Xia's head:
"Go back to sleep quickly."

Ningxia curled her lips in disappointment.

"We have already discussed this in the meeting before get off work. You should go back and rest."

Ningxia still wanted to talk, but Xu Jie forced the door to close. Xu Jie wanted to say that if he didn't close the door, it would be difficult for him to leave.

Xu Jie stood at the door for a while, and then heard Ning Xia's door being locked, and then slowly walked to the elevator. Ning Xia had been hiding in the peephole to peek at Xu Jie.

Seeing this, Ningxia slapped her face, and her heart was pounding.

Before falling asleep, Ningxia thought about Xu Jie's voice and smile for a while. Is love like this feeling of pounding heartbeat?
Ning Xia hugged the quilt tightly, closed her eyes with a smile on her lips.

Ningxia rushed to the city hospital early the next day. When Zhou Xiaodan saw that it was Ningxia, he praised:
"Your police are so efficient in handling cases. I heard that Li Juan has been caught."

Zhou Xiaodan smiled.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhou for providing the information yesterday, I'm here again today."

Ning Xia stared at Zhou Xiaodan, always feeling that there was something inexplicable in her eyes.

But Ningxia couldn't tell. Zhou Xiaodan was a businessman, and she said she wanted to maximize her profits.

Maybe this sentence had too much impact on Ningxia, so Ningxia always felt that Zhou Xiaodan knew a lot, but she didn't say it.

"Mr. Zhou, you look good today."

"Is it okay to watch? The scratches on your face may leave scars."

Zhou Xiaodan held the mirror in his hand and looked at his face carefully. Today, the gauze on Zhou Xiaodan's face came off in two places, revealing red scars on his cheeks.

Ning Xia wanted to say words of comfort, but the wound on Zhou Xiaodan's face was long and deep. Ning Xia couldn't say anything against her will, especially to someone who loves beauty like Zhou Xiaodan.

"You see, I have asked the plastic surgeon that this scar cannot be eliminated no matter what. I am only 32 years old this year, which means that even if Li Wenrui dies, I will think of him whenever I see this face in my life."

"Is there anything else you can tell me about Li Wenrui?"

Zhou Xiaodan looked out the window and said nothing.

"Li Wenrui is your husband, and he is the deceased to us. Now the police are investigating in all aspects. If they can't find out in one day, two days, three days after two days, the truth will come to light one day."

"I look forward to the day when the truth comes out."

Zhou Xiaodan's eyes were always looking out the window, his voice was cold and clear, and an idea suddenly flashed through Ning Xia's mind.

"Zhou Xiaodan, how is the company now? Is it on the right track?"

Zhou Xiaodan turned his head, then looked at Ning Xia and nodded slowly:
"Fortunately, all the old employees of the company are helping me."

"When you take over the company this time, I'm afraid there will be big changes in personnel. I met Yang Zhenzhen and Xiao Song yesterday, and also visited many people in the company."

"As an emperor and a courtier, Li Wenrui has been in the company for so long and has his confidants. However, our company does not engage in individualism. As long as everyone is willing to follow me, I will not lay off employees."

"Is anyone resigning now?"

Zhou Xiaodan snorted coldly:
"Yang Pearl, but she thinks she can leave with a pat on the butt?"

Zhou Xiaodan had a nice smile, but Ning Xia knew that this smile was not simple.
