I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 319 The backstage is very hard

"Check someone? Okay."

Although Chu Qingmian was a little confused about Su Chengyi's request, she immediately agreed.

She had just finished drinking tea with the other party's staff, and with the Chu family's usual ability to spend a lot of money, things went smoothly.

At this time, she had returned to the huge lounge, and the dazzling sunshine of Seoul could be seen outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Without hanging up the phone, Chu Qingmian just nodded to the person at the door, and then handed over the message he had just written on the paper.

"Check it out."

Her tone was calm. Su Chengyi listened on the other side, a little surprised by her contrast.

"But what is it~"

The next second she returned to her usual soft tone.

Su Chengyi thought for a while and simply re-explained today's events, of course omitting many details.

"My God."

Chu Qingmian couldn't help but sigh.

"Su Chengyi, are you a detective?"

This section sounds like a mystery novel. If it were her, she would have stopped at the first step of tracing the identity of the weirdo in the raincoat.

"If I were a detective, would I still have to ask you for help?"

Madam, times have changed.

It’s no longer possible to solve the case just by smoking a pipe!

Su Chengyi held the phone in one hand and put the other in his pocket, and said casually.

Deyue Restaurant is located in a remote location, and there are basically no people in this area, so Su Chengyi decided to walk around nearby.

Miss Chu's phone call apparently hasn't been finished yet.

"Su Chengyi, I could have come back tomorrow, but my mother said there was a fashion week in Milan and she hoped I could go.

Do you think I should go? If you go, maybe you can sign a few models back. "

"."

Su Chengyi was a little silent for the first time.

What he said was as casual as buying two popsicles on the roadside!

If we were in a feudal society, this guy would be the kind of dandy who would buy back a few maids just by going to the streets!

Just as he was about to reply that he was happy to see you, Su Chengyi's heart suddenly went off.

Something is wrong, Milan, a city in Italy, is known as the fashion capital, with Prada, Armani, Gucci, and Valentino.

Of course, compared to these, Su Chengyi is more concerned about AC Milan Football Club and Inter Milan Football Club.

But these are not important. What is important is that Italy is also rich in pizza.

Pizza country, fashion show.

"Otherwise, it's better not to go."

Su Chengyi said quietly.

"Ah? Why."

Chu Qingmian huddled on the large sofa and opened the box on the coffee table. A piece of exquisite chocolate cake lay inside.

This was a specially prepared snack after the other party inquired about his preferences.

How should I put it, should I be glad that it is not a kimchi-related food? Kimchi potato chips and the like.

Chu Qingmian shook the spoon, scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth.

"I don't think catwalks are interesting."

On the other side of the receiver, Su Chengyi said dryly.

The chocolate cream melted in the mouth and was slightly bitter. Chu Qingmian laughed and replied:

"Humph, what does a straight man of steel know?"

Su Chengyi didn't know what to say, so she said "hmm" and her eyes wandered unnaturally. Fortunately, she was just on the phone at this time and couldn't see any clues.

This time he actually saw a stall selling popsicles from a cart on the street.

"Okay, then I'll be back tomorrow. We have to prepare for the birthday anyway! Su Chengyi, you won't regret not coming at the moment, right?"

"will not."

Su Chengyi glanced at the traffic light and prepared to cross the road.

"You promised me!"

"accepted."

"whee."

Chu Qingmian made a deliberately funny laugh like in a cartoon, which sounded a bit funny.

But soon her tone became serious again.

"okay."

After the door closed, she explained:

"The things you asked me to check just now have results. I'll take a photo of it and send it to you."

Is this efficiency a bit too high?

Su Chengyi couldn't help but lament the importance of the backstage again.

At this time, the red light turned into green. Su Chengyi put down her mobile phone and strode across the zebra crossing.

The popsicle seller was an elderly woman, wearing a simple and old cotton coat, but the cart was kept clean.

"Grandma, how do you sell popsicles?"

"A dollar a piece, boy."

"Please give me one."

Su Chengyi took out a coin from his windbreaker pocket and handed it to her hand.

The popsicles are very old-fashioned and come in soda and milk flavors.

Su Chengyi took a bite. It smelled of refreshing lemonade, and she felt enlightened when the ice melted.

He clicked on the information sent by Chu Qingmian on his phone.

The investor behind Deyue Restaurant is named Wu Shaobo. There is a photo next to it. He has a typical three-eye look and his face looks a bit sinister.

The file record below shows that he has a lot of criminal records and has stepped on the sewing machine several times. However, the charges were not too serious, and he came out again after a few years.

He was not the first owner of this restaurant, and the time he took over was coincidentally the first day of the 100th birthday party.

In order to avoid being cheated when paying the contribution, Su Chengyi specially wrote down the last name of the so-called centenarian, Mr. Wu.

So in fact, the existence of this centenarian old man is still a question. The birthday party is actually a reception party for the new boss to take office?

In addition, the information of the manager in charge of recruitment was also revealed.

Sun Ke, who has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks in the photo, is nicknamed Sun Er. He and Wu Shaobo can be said to be close brothers, and he is also a guy with a lot of criminal records.

It seems that he is Wu Shaobo's talker, and he is the one who takes the lead most of the time.

Sun Er would often issue some high-paying short-term part-time orders. Normally, this would only happen when there was an extreme shortage of manpower.

The strange thing is that most of the time, all comers are not rejected. Applicants will be screened in several rounds.

The problems exposed by such information are already obvious. Unfortunately, the last time these two people appeared was a few months ago. Now it is difficult for anyone to find their whereabouts.

Su Chengyi threw the wooden stick in his hand into the trash can and bought another milk-flavored one.

It still tastes like soda, but the milk taste is a bit like an overly sweet pudding.

“Mother-in-law, have you been selling around here?”

"Yes. It's been sold for decades, except when it's windy or rainy."

The winter wind was biting, and Su Chengyi stood on the roadside with her mother-in-law, somewhat blocking the wind.

"Do you know that restaurant next door?"

"I know, I've been locked up for several months."

The mother-in-law coughed and continued:

"Young man, you are young, don't have anything to do with the people inside, it is unclean."

"Ok?"

Su Chengyi pretended not to know anything.

"They are not serious businessmen."

The old woman sighed and spoke slowly.

Su Chengyi originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but after thinking about it, he stopped talking.

When disaster comes from his mouth, he doesn't ask too many questions, which is a kind of protection.

"About when did it close?"

"When July 30 came, it was no longer open."

Although my mother-in-law is old, she has a good memory and can even tell the specific days.

But is July 30 too early?

When Su Chengyi walked home carrying a bag of popsicles, he couldn't help but think about it in his mind.

After a while, he thought.

The older generation does not count days by looking at the Gregorian calendar, but the lunar calendar.

July 30th, converted to the Gregorian calendar, happens to be September 10th.

Su Chengyi gave the old woman all the cash he had, which was not much, about a thousand dollars.

But it was enough for her to sell popsicles for a while.

Su Chengyi specifically asked her to rest at home for a while. If she must go out, she should go to another neighborhood to sell.

Although the matter didn't seem that exaggerated, he always felt that it would make people feel more at ease.

His willingness to investigate this matter was his own personal wish, so he did not want to involve others.

Su Chengyi thought as he took out another soda popsicle from the bag.

As soon as the wrapping paper was opened, a black Maybach slowly parked on the side of the road.

Su Chengyi's eyes had already caught the tracks of the wheels, but he kept walking forward as if he didn't see them.

The closed windows in the back seat were lowered, and most of Chu Yuanjiang's body was hidden in the shadows, making his smile look a bit unreal.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

As if Su Chengyi had just come to his senses, he paused slightly and nodded sideways. "Hello, Uncle Chu."

"Want a ride?"

Chu Yuanjiang asked with a smile.

But the car door on the other side opened in response.

Su Chengyi didn't refuse and got into the car.

There is a lot of space in the back row of the Maybach. One person can sit on the left and the other can sit on the right. There seems to be a Milky Way between them.

Uncle Gao in the front row kept his eyes and nose in mind and just focused on driving.

Su Chengyi weighed the bag of popsicles in his hand. If it melted, it would leak, so he didn't put it on the leather seat.

"What are you carrying?"

Chu Yuanjiang asked.

Su Chengyi opened the bag and handed it to him.

Chu Yuanjiang was not polite and quickly picked out a milk-flavored stick.

"This is what we ate when we were young. I miss it. It only cost a dime a piece at that time.

In the hot weather, I ran errands for people from the east of the city to the west of the city just to have a taste of this stuff. "

He bit off most of the popsicle in one bite and was so cold that he could barely speak.

Just when Su Chengyi thought he was going to talk nonsense again, Chu Yuanjiang's tone suddenly dropped a few degrees.

"What about you? Why did you come here?"

The atmosphere in the car also dropped with his tone, reaching freezing point.

Asking knowingly.

Su Chengyi thought that if he had known about asking Miss Chu for help, Chu Yuanjiang would also know about it.

But he didn't expect it to be so fast, and he came to the door immediately.

Could there be more to this than meets the eye? Or maybe Deyue Restaurant itself has something to do with the Chu family?

Su Chengyi stared at the water stains seeping out of the popsicle wrapper in the bag, feeling a bit dangerous for a moment.

But he soon dismissed the second possibility.

Because he thought of the flower baskets he saw at the door on the day of the centenary banquet, one of which was signed by Hou Yuqian.

Anyone may have a relationship with the Chu family, but not the Hou family.

So after excluding the second type, the remaining possibility is the first type.

Then, at least communicating with Chu Yuanjiang is safe.

After thinking of this, Su Chengyi became a little less wary.

"What do you think?"

he asked casually.

Chu Yuanjiang seemed a little tired today, and he turned the watch on his hand.

After taking off the mask of the approachable and nice guy, he finally looked like the gloomy man behind the scenes.

"I don't know how you, a student, got yourself into this muddy water. But no matter why, it's enough for now."

There was a warning in his tone.

Ordinary young people might give up once they are frightened by his momentum.

It's a pity that the other party is Su Chengyi.

"To where?"

He said calmly.

"I've done nothing but make a few phone calls."

The atmosphere was deadlocked for a long time, and Su Chengyi glanced at the car navigation in front of him.

It’s also hard work for Uncle Gao. Until the boss’s business is finished, he can’t stop the car and can only keep driving around the outer city.

Chu Yuanjiang tapped the dial, thinking about the meeting half an hour later, and suddenly felt helpless.

Every time I meet this kid, countless troubles happen one after another.

Strong species.

In the end, it was Chu Yuanjiang who relaxed first.

"Whenever you think about Mianmian, you will know that I am not planning to harm you."

He looked at Uncle Gao in the rearview mirror, and the vehicle returned to the navigation route.

"If you want to harm me, you don't have to go to such trouble."

Su Chengyi laughed.

"Tell me what's going on."

Chu Yuanjiang sighed and propped up his elbows to look at him.

A great new way to show off your watch.

Okay, okay, I know you have a customized version of Patek Philippe in your hands.

Su Chengyi was secretly laughing when he saw Chu Yuanjiang starting to untie his watch strap.

"Do you like it? I'll give it to you."

".That's not necessary."

Su Chengyi made a "daa" gesture. The Richard Mille piece from before was still lying in a drawer at home.

Because of this, I feel that my home is not very safe.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with a thief, but with the gifts given by the father and daughter, everything in the house was at risk.

After sorting out his thoughts, Su Chengyi told the whole story again.

Of course, it is the same as what was said in front of Miss Chu, but it is a simplified version that omits some details.

After Chu Yuanjiang heard this, his reaction was different from Chu Qingmian's.

"You go to such great lengths just to help someone you've only met once, and not to get any benefits from it?"

He frowned, as if he didn't understand.

"Maybe so."

Su Chengyi thought for a while, but couldn't think of a better explanation.

"To be honest, I'm not very interested in those things behind the scenes. So if you want to say that I'm wading through muddy waters, it doesn't count. I'm just passing through this muddy water."

"Do you have to go?"

Su Chengyi nodded and lowered his eyes.

He looked very quiet with his eyes lowered and looked like a talkative person.

However, Chu Yuanjiang knew that this was completely an appearance.

"I don't ask you to understand, but I have promised Zhou Yan's family to help find him, so I won't give up halfway.

What's more, I feel like I haven't made any efforts towards this yet. "

Su Chengyi paused and then continued:

"In addition, I also know the things behind your concerns, so I will try to avoid them."

".Please bring up the missing person notice just now and let me take a look."

Chu Yuanjiang closed his eyes and pressed his temples.

He then turned on his phone and took a photo.

"I will tell you the results in three days at the latest. You stop here."

Chu Yuanjiang put away his phone and glanced at Su Chengyi with a complicated expression.

The latter laughed, looking quite harmless.

In fact, it was all his words that drove him here.

"Go! Go! Go."

Chu Yuanjiang was not happy to be tricked by a young man, so he waved his hand to drive them away.

Su Chengyi looked sideways and saw that he was already at the entrance of his alley.

"Uncle Chu, see you in two days."

Su Chengyi jumped out of the Maybach and leaned against the car window and said.

"What's going on?"

Chu Yuanjiang subconsciously thought that what had just happened was not over yet, and immediately frowned.

"Your daughter's birthday dinner."

Su Chengyi said with a smile.

"."

This guy seemed to be provoking.

I got a favor out of nowhere, and in two days I had to watch my daughter's elbow turn outward with my own eyes.

The more Chu Yuanjiang thought about it, the more he felt frustrated.

"Stop! Leave the popsicle on your hand."

"okay."

Su Chengyi smiled and handed the bag back through the window.

It seems that a deal that is not a loss has been reached.
