Chapter 15
Lu Miao didn't wake up until after seven o'clock the next day, and Qiao Ze also just woke up, so he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips: "Morning."
Thinking of last night, Lu Miao felt uncomfortable, and murmured "Morning".
The shy look made Qiao Ze feel a little ready to move.
Lu Miao saw the alarm clock next to the bed, and the time on the clock made her sit up immediately, but Qiao Ze suppressed it.
"I asked you for half a day's leave. Last night, the police cracked down on pornography, and everyone knew about it. You are in a bad mood and recuperate at home."
Lu Miao's movements stopped immediately, and she looked at him: "What did Wu Manman say?"
"What else can I say, she pushed you in, please apologize." Qiao Ze's tone was not salty, his eyelids were half closed, Lu Miao couldn't see his expression clearly, but he clearly felt his arms around her waist His palms are tightening.She wasn't sure if he was blaming himself or worried about her, so her heart softened and she took his hand: "I'm fine."
Qiao Ze glanced at her, stretched out his long arms, and wrapped her in his arms, clasped the back of her head with his palms, and pressed her against his chest.
"Daimao, no matter what, you must protect yourself.
"Although I have always told myself that I must be worthy of the police uniform on my body and the mission entrusted to us by this profession. However, I hope you are well, and we must always be well."
Lu Miao raised her head from his arms: "I will."
Qiao Ze stared at her for a long time, rubbed his palms on her hair, bowed his head and kissed her.
Lu Miao went to work in the afternoon, and met Wu Manman as soon as he arrived at the company.
Wu Manman greeted her with a smiling face, apologizing and worried about her situation.
Lu Miao was a little tired from being tormented by Qiao Ze last night, and her complexion was not very good. She didn't wear makeup on purpose today, and she looked haggard. It really seemed that she was affected by what happened last night.
She didn't say much, but returned Wu Manman with a forced smile, said "it's okay" and went back to the office.
Lu Miao's reaction also made Wu Manman a little uneasy, staring at her back figured out nothing.
Qiao Ze called her early this morning, his voice was so cold that it almost seemed to be frozen.
Wu Manman still remembers what he said at that time.
"Miss Wu, what do you mean by pushing my woman out?
"You're the one who wants to go there, you don't trust me, you want to use her to restrain me, I agree, but push her out to accompany those bad old men, have you asked me?
"You'd better figure it out, that's my person, not yours. I just lent her to you as a hostage, but it's not for you to use her as a prostitute.
"If there is another similar situation and the cooperation is terminated, I still have the decision-making power."
He dropped her phone without asking her to explain, and he didn't answer when he called again. She specially sent a text message to explain and apologize, but Qiao Ze didn't reply.
She couldn't figure out what Joze was thinking.
Looking at Lu Miao's situation now, she guessed whether Lu Miao was also taken care of by Qiao Ze last night, and she was a little worried that she would become Qiao Ze's abandoned pawn.
Just like what Qiao Ze said, when Lu Miao was arranged to join the company, on the one hand, he wanted to use her to get closer to Qiao Ze, and on the other hand, he wanted to use her to restrain Qiao Ze.But because of the separation and reunion of Lu Miao and Qiao Ze, she couldn't figure out how important Lu Miao was to Qiao Ze, and she was not sure whether the relationship between the two was based on emotion or cooperation.
The arrangement last night was indeed somewhat risky. One was for business considerations, and the other was to take the opportunity to test Lu Miao's status with Qiao Ze.
Now Qiao Ze gave her the answer clearly, Lu Miao is very important!
After Lu Miao went to work, Qiao Ze took the box of medicine she brought back to the anti-drug team and handed it over to the technicians for identification.
The identification results came out soon, and they were all new types of drugs, such as methamphetamine, K powder, LSD hallucinogens, psychedelic mushrooms...all of which were synthetic new types of drugs commonly found in the drug market.
Shen Yu and Deputy Liu were also there, they were invited by Qiao Ze.
Because Xiao Zhan was seriously injured, he is still recovering from his injuries. Deputy Liu invited Shen Yu back to the anti-narcotics team to take charge of Xiao Zhan temporarily.
Shen Yu was also a good player in the anti-drug team back then, but in those few years because of the Ancheng clan's fighting problem, he had a high reputation in the local area, so he resigned and became the patriarch.But for so many years, he has been leading the group of brothers under him to help Deputy Liu collect intelligence, and his relationship with the police force has not been broken, but it is equivalent to turning from a policeman on the surface to an informant.
"What's the situation?" As soon as Shen Yu entered the room, he sat down opposite Qiao Ze and got straight to the point.
Qiao Ze was holding the medicine box in his hand, thinking about it.
Seeing the two people come in, he turned the box over without delay: "Someone sent a message through this box." His long finger swiped across the barcode attached to the box, "The normal barcode number is 13 digits, the barcode here is 14 digits."
"Normal barcode, the first 3 digits represent the country and region, and 690-695 is the code of mainland China. The first 4 digits of this barcode are 0942, which is obviously inconsistent with the actual situation. The 4th to 8th digits normally represent the code of the manufacturer. Here The 6 digits in the middle are 256124, which has nothing to do with the manufacturer on the box. Therefore, it can be basically proved that this barcode is actually just a string of code words. 0942 is the city code of Ancheng, 256124, the postal code of Anmen District, Ancheng District, The last four are in 4. I read the local chronicles of Ancheng in the morning. In the 1998s, the fireworks factory in Ancheng developed rapidly. Especially in 90, the Xingsheng Fireworks Factory located in the suburb of Anmen flourished. But in that year, the gunpowder factory caught fire. After the explosion, the entire factory area was blown up, and that area became a wasteland, which the locals call '1998 Barren Ridge'."
Qiao Ze pushed the packing box: "That's probably where Shang Qi and Wu Manman secretly developed drugs."
Shen Yu and Liu Fu glanced at each other and quickly stood up.
"I'll make arrangements."
The next morning, the news of the destruction of a large-scale drug manufacturing den in the 98 barren hills of Ancheng made the headlines of the major media in Ancheng, and all the on-site drug manufacturing personnel were controlled by the police.
The arrest operation was completed in a surprise attack, and no news was leaked.
After listening to Qiao Ze's analysis, Shen Yu quickly analyzed the terrain and completed the deployment.
His familiarity with Ancheng, as well as the intelligence information of Shen Qiao and others, allowed him to arrange the entire arrest operation to be watertight. The thunderous attack hit the drug dealers on the scene by surprise, and they were all captured before they could resist. No one was injured. One pawn.
When the mission was successfully completed, Deputy Liu couldn't help making fun of the two of them. Wen had Qiao Ze and Wu had Shen Yu. One was in charge of spotting and the other was in charge of arresting. They cooperated tacitly. Zeneng is more focused on the plan itself.
The news of taking down the drug dealer's den was specially released the next morning.
Qiao Ze carried out this operation without telling Lu Miao.
This time, it was Shang Qi and Wu Manman's new drug manufacturing factory, which was their only source of supply to open up the drug market in the entertainment industry.
Lu Miao has to face them, he is both a newcomer and his own, any strangeness may arouse Wu Manman's suspicion.
No matter how good her acting skills are, she is no more real than being kept in the dark.
Joze didn't want her to be suspected at all.
Lurking in the world of drug dealers, as long as there is even the slightest possibility of being suspected, she will have a hard time. Various temptations continue, and she may even be forced to take drugs to prove her innocence.
So during breakfast, Lu Miao yelled at the news, and asked him which drug cartel this was, and whether he knew about it, but Qiao Ze just replied "I don't know" and brought the topic away.
Lu Miao didn't ask any further questions. Qiao Ze was at home the whole time last night, so she didn't think too much about it. She reckoned it was just some kind of small drug-making gang.
When going to work after dinner, Lu Miao didn't see Wu Manman, Su Ming and Shang Qi didn't come either, and it wasn't until near noon that they saw the three of them walking in with serious expressions.
Seeing that Wu Manman's face was different from before, Lu Miao couldn't help asking worriedly: "Sister Man, what happened?"
Wu Manman stared at her for a while, then shook her head: "It's okay."
Lu Miao couldn't ask any more questions, Su Ming also looked solemn after entering the office, and the whole office fell into a low pressure.
When he was about to get off work, Jie Dao called Lu Miao and wanted to ask her out for dinner.
When Lu Miao came to work yesterday morning, Director Xie called her, asked her about her situation, and apologized to her.
When Wu Manman went out in the afternoon, it seemed that Wu Manman had been dismissed from the director's appointment, and a cooperation was reached.
Last night Wu Manman happily called Lu Miao, and Lu Miao could barely hear from the phone that she and Director Xie had concluded a business deal.
It is reasonable to say that the business deal should be happy today, but her reaction seems to be clouded.
Lu Miao didn't know what was going on, but he knew that there was no need to deal with the guidance, so he rejected him because he was unwell.
She didn't know what Wu Manman had said to Xie Dao, and Jie Dao didn't make things difficult for her this time.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ming had already turned off his computer and was about to leave work. He still looked like he was in the morning, with a very serious expression on his face.
"Boss Su." Lu Miao couldn't help calling him back, "Did something happen? I think Sister Man and Boss Shang are not in a good mood today."
Su Ming looked back at her, shook his head, replied "it's all right", and left.
Shang Qi and Wu Manman were waiting for him outside, and the three left together.
According to the information Lu Miao has, Su Ming is currently Shang Qi's most important subordinate, and he always takes Su Ming with him wherever he goes. Even that time, Shang Qi sent someone to help Su Ming the next day.
From Lu Miao's recent observations, the two seem to be brothers and friends. Most of the time, Su Ming is more inclined to be Shang Qi's personal bodyguard, going in and out together. She has never seen Shang Qi go out. Without Su Ming.
The low air pressure in the office lasted for two days. On the third day, Wu Manman suddenly approached Lu Miao. During lunch, he began to insinuate her and Qiao Ze's recent situation.
Lu Miao couldn't figure out what she meant when she asked this question, so she replied "it's okay" conservatively.
"Then take a look, can you help me ask Mr. Qiao to have a meal together?" Wu Manman asked her hesitantly.
Lu Miao felt strange, but still nodded, and called Qiao Ze on the spot: "Mr. Qiao, Sister Man would like to invite you to dinner, do you have time here?"
Since Qiao Ze left Wu Manman on the phone that day, he deliberately left her alone for a few days, never meeting her appointments, not answering her phone calls, and not replying to her text messages.
Wu Manman and Jie Dao reached a cooperation, and she must supply them, but her drug manufacturing factory was destroyed, so it is impossible to find so many sources of supply in a short time, and the purity of drugs on the market cannot meet the purity she promised to Jie Dao. purity.
For a long time, the drug trafficking group behind Shang Qi and Wu Manman has followed the model of integrating production, transportation and sales, and the focus is still on traditional drugs such as heroin. The new drug market has not completely become the hegemony, and there are relatively few corresponding drug factories. Especially in the refining of such high-purity drugs, the requirements for technical personnel are also high.Inexplicably, he was taken to a stronghold. Wu Manman might not be able to find enough trustworthy people to refine this new type of high-purity drug in a short time. Therefore, we can only turn to Suo Fei, who has just established a cooperation.
Qiao Ze is the only person they can turn to for help, but because of Lu Miao's incident, Qiao Ze left Wu Manman alone for a few days.
Wu Manman couldn't contact Qiao Ze everywhere, so he could only ask Lu Miao for help.
Lu Miao was kept in the dark from Qiao Ze talking to Wu Manman to Wu Manman's drug manufacturing den. He didn't know what was going on, so he called Qiao Ze and told Wu Manman what Wu Manman meant. After conveying the message, Qiao Ze replied indifferently, "Tell her I'm not free" and then hung up the phone. Lu Miao looked at her phone in confusion, and then looked at Wu Manman blankly: "Joe Always said he wasn't available."
Wu Manman stared at her face and judged for a long time: "Didn't Mr. Qiao tell you anything?"
Lu Miao shook his head blankly: "What are you talking about?"
Wu Manman held the wine glass in his hand and pondered for a while, then stretched out his hand to Lu Miao: "Lend me your mobile phone, I'll call Mr. Qiao."
Lu Miao called Qiao Ze for her and handed her the phone.
Joze didn't answer this time.
Wu Manman hesitated for a long time, and finally looked at Lu Miao: "Miao Miao, we have encountered a little trouble this time, and we must ask Mr. Qiao to help. Can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Qiao?"
"What's the trouble?" Lu Miao really didn't know, she held the phone, a little strange, "Didn't you say that a cooperation has been reached? Is he busy with something and has no time to call you back?"
"No." Wu Manman saw that Lu Miao really didn't know, and it was not easy to explain too much to her.
Their cooperation with Suofei at the beginning was that Suofei was responsible for the supply, and they were responsible for the delivery and sales. Wu Manman also told Qiao Ze firmly that they did not have a production line.
Two days ago, when the factory was exposed by Duan's news, Qiao Ze made an appointment with Wu Manman and lost his temper again.
"Miss Wu, when you signed the agreement, didn't you tell me that you didn't have any goods, and we will be responsible for all the goods in the future, and you are responsible for the delivery and sales. Why is there a factory that was taken down by the police now?" ? Use my people to open the way for you, and all the money will go into your pockets in the end, play me for a fool, right?"
Wu Manman couldn't contact Qiao Ze for a few days after finishing talking. She and Shang Qi are really cornered now. The batch of goods they promised to explain is in the factory that was taken away by the police. Tomorrow night It's the delivery date, they can't come up with the goods, let alone lose the market, and it's hard to explain to the higher-ups.
Seeing that Lu Miao didn't know about these reasons, she didn't intend to talk to her more, and only urged her to make an appointment with Qiao Ze.
Lu Miao saw some clues from Wu Manman's anxiety. He held his mobile phone and looked a little embarrassed: "I'm not sure if I can persuade him. He was the one who went to the police station to protect me that night. I lost my temper a lot, and I haven't paid much attention to me these days, you see I called him just now...he also put down my phone coldly..."
"It's okay, you try first."
Lu Miao took the phone and called Qiao Ze five times in a row, but he didn't answer any of them.
Lu Miao's mood gradually sank down: "He won't answer." After thinking for a while, he said, "Let me try sending him a message. If he ignores me again, there's nothing I can do."
Qiao Ze finally replied to the message after half an hour and agreed to meet.
Wu Manman made an appointment at a golf course in the suburbs. She went there with Shang Qi and Su Ming. Qiao Ze arrived half an hour late. He played a round of golf with him, and only talked about business when he sat down for a rest. .Qiao Ze raised the price on the ground, and all the goods have increased by [-]% on the basis of the original price, which is completely a businessman's face.
Shang Qi and Wu Manman didn't agree, and they were so angry that they almost had a conflict.
Qiao Ze was also straightforward, spreading his hands together: "It's okay, the cooperation is over here." After talking, the man had got up, turned around and wanted to leave, and Wu Manman suppressed his temper and stopped Qiao Ze with a smile: "Mr. Qiao, it's easy to discuss if you have something to say. Isn't this the price we negotiated before? If you sit on the ground and raise the price like this, our future cooperation will not be safe."
Qiao Ze gave her a slight smile: "Miss Wu, we also discussed that I will supply the goods, what happened? If the police just took over your factory and the news broke out, how long are you going to play me for a fool? "
Shang Qi and Wu Manman have their own faults first, and they are also asking for help from others, so they are not good at speaking up.
"Just [-]%." Qiao Ze didn't back down at all, "Add another [-]%, or else, our cooperation will end here. We, Mr. Cai, agreed to cooperate with you, and we originally valued Mr. Huo's courage and ability to transport and sell goods. , everyone has money to earn together. In the end, you played tricks on me and jumped over us without saying a word, trying to eat the remaining half of the cake in the entertainment circle, and using my woman as bait. If this is the case, we will also do business When it comes to business on the field, if you can accept the price, then accept it; if you can’t accept it, it doesn’t matter, I still have some people in the entertainment industry, and my own people can still deliver goods. Cutting out the middlemen, our profit margins It's bigger."
Seeing that Qiao Ze wanted to leave, Wu Manman said with a smile on his face: "What is Mr. Qiao talking about? Don't we want to give Mr. Qiao a hand-holding gift? We will tell you when the cooperation with Director Jie is completed in the future." This is good news for you. As far as our small factory is concerned, how much goods can be produced is not enough to guide their needs, and we will not have to supply from you in the future."
Qiao Ze smiled slightly: "Miss Wu, anyone can say beautiful words, but you and I know the actual situation. The price is right there, and every penny is not bad."
Wu Manman looked back at Shang Qi hesitantly.
Shang Qi pondered for a while, then nodded.
Wu Manman looked at Qiao Ze and smiled apologetically: "Mr. Qiao, we are wrong this time. Whatever you say is what you say, but next time, I hope that Qiao will always consider everyone's long-term cooperation and stop sitting on the ground." The price has started."
Qiao Ze neither agreed nor refused, and looked a bit careless: "That depends on the sincerity of Mr. Shang and Ms. Wu."
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Tomorrow night at twelve o'clock, Malinpo, a small brick factory." He glanced at her again, "Miss Wu, the police have been investigating closely recently, and the rumors are also tight, everyone should take it easy , don’t be so petty. I’m going to take everyone into the ditch, and there won’t be a second Suo Fei to solve your urgent needs in a while.”
Putting down the words, the person turned and left.
The trading point that Qiao Ze arranged was an extremely barren hill.
If he wants to gain the absolute trust of Shang Qi and Wu Manman, the goods must be delivered to them according to their requirements, and there must be no accidents in the transaction process.
But correspondingly, this is drugs, and there are a lot of drugs. It is impossible for him to let this batch of drugs flow into the market, so the police can only choose to act when Shang Qifang and Xie Daofang trade.
Wu Manman didn't even tell him the time and place of the deal with Xie Dao, let alone let Lu Miao know.
As long as Lu Miao is completely unaware of their trading behavior, and does not inquire about or stay in the company, theoretically, the suspicion that Lu Miao is an insider can be ruled out.
They could suspect a few insiders, the drug transporters, and even the guidance, but they couldn't suspect Lu Miao.
Qiao Ze sent two face-to-face anti-drug policemen to deal with Shang Qifang. He and Shen Yu watched with binoculars on the slope not far away.
Shen Yu has already arranged everything to prevent any possible accidents.
At exactly twelve o'clock, a large van slowly drove over, and two young people jumped out of the vehicle, one tall and one short.
The short one is agile and seems to be the leader.
The tall one is thinner, and his movements are a little unhurried, not like the short one's urgency.
He had been standing by the car door since he got off the car, staring around, with his back to Qiao Ze and Shen Yu's direction.
Qiao Ze took out his mobile phone and secretly took pictures of the two of them.
After taking two shots in a row, the tall young man suddenly turned his head, and when his handsome face was reflected in the camera, Qiao Ze's hand paused.
Shen Yu was keenly aware of his subtle changes and turned to look at him.
Qiao Ze has already photographed the tall young man calmly.
Shen Yu saw that the two of them had already walked towards the person they arranged, so under the cover of the slope, he stood up carefully, approached their car step by step, and installed a small monitor on the base of the rearview mirror when the two were unaware.
The two quickly completed the inspection and drove away in the truck.
When Shen Yu returned to the slope, he found that Qiao Ze was staring at the direction of the truck thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" He asked, got up and finished work, ready to get in the car, and told others to keep an eye on the big truck.
"The situation doesn't seem very good." Qiao Ze whispered, and he stood up, "The tall one must be captured alive."
Shen Yu glanced at the direction where the big truck was leaving, nodded, and got on the truck to follow.
Qiao Ze was not involved in the arrest.
He sent Wu Manman a video of the completion of the transaction and the safe departure of her consignor, and then pressed the video call, still with that careless and somewhat arrogant look.
"Miss Wu, the goods have been delivered safely, when will the final payment be made?"
Wu Manman smiled: "What's the rush, Mr. Qiao? Waiting for us to receive the goods smoothly, are we still afraid of relying on you?"
Qiao Ze smiled and didn't pursue the debt. If Wu Manman really sent the money, and something happened to the returned goods, it would be easy to make people suspicious.
Wu Manman toasted him with a glass of wine: "It's rare to make a big deal, why doesn't Joe come to celebrate together?"
The corner of Qiao Ze's mouth ticked slightly: "Address."
Half an hour later, Qiao Ze had already appeared at the clubhouse that Wu Manman had booked.
Wu Manman was surprised: "Can't Miao Miao come here?"
Qiao Ze sat down opposite her: "Didn't she go with you this afternoon? Why did Miss Wu ask me?"
He picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine, gave her and Shang Qi a slight gesture, took a big sip, and sat on the back of the sofa chair relaxedly, then looked at Wu Manman: "Miss Wu, The goods are all given to you, but my woman still hasn't returned it?"
The smile on the corner of Wu Manman's mouth froze slightly, and then he smiled slowly: "What did Mr. Qiao say? I don't think Miao Miao has been too busy with work recently. She was shocked by the anti-pornography incident a few days ago. Let her friends go out to sea with her to relax."
With a smile on the corner of Qiao Ze's mouth, he turned his head to look at her and said nothing.
Lu Miao didn't come back in the afternoon, so he called him and said that the company held an employee birthday party and organized a cruise ship to go to sea together.
On the surface, it looks like Lu Miao is letting Lu Miao relax, but in fact, he just wants to use Lu Miao to restrain him and prevent any accidents during the transaction.
Wu Manman was still smiling, took out her mobile phone, and called Lu Miao: "Miao Miao, Mr. Qiao and I are at the Menwan Leisure Club. The activities of your department are almost over, do you want to come to Juju? "
Then she hung up the phone and looked at Qiao Ze with a smile: "Miao Miao said she will be there in about an hour."
Lu Miao came over in less than an hour, together with a few colleagues from the company, Su Ming was also there, it looked like he had just attended a staff birthday party.
When Lu Miao passed by Qiao Ze, he pulled him down and sat on his lap.Su Ming bypassed him and sat down beside Shang Qi.
Wu Manman turned his head to look at Su Ming: "How did you play tonight?"
"They're all very happy." Su Ming glanced at Lu Miao, "Especially Lu Miao, who spent the whole night playing mahjong with everyone."
Qiao Ze looked down at Lu Miao who was in his arms: "Can you still play mahjong?"
Lu Miao was a little embarrassed: "It's not very good, Mr. Su is a good teacher. He has been sitting next to me and taught me how to draw and play cards."
Wu Manman smiled: "Miaomiao, what you said... Mr. Qiao will be jealous."
Qiao Ze's expression was light: "After accompanying Mr. Xie and Mr. Su... Lu Miao, I'm not good enough for you?"
A sentence that was neither salty nor bland made the atmosphere in the box suddenly become more delicate.
Qiao Ze didn't seem to notice it, and looked at Su Ming with a half-smile: "Boss Su, Lu Miao is also my man, so let's do less about wearing a cuckold, okay?"
Su Ming smiled: "Mr. Qiao, what are you talking about. Everyone on the cruise ship is watching tonight. Dare I touch her one more hair?"
"Let's just say that the last time I was on a business trip, I was away for half a month. Ask her, have I touched her?" Su Ming looked up at the tall and thin man sitting next to Wu Manman, "Agao, in Guangzhou In those few days, you followed me every step of the way, tell Mr. Qiao, besides work, have I ever touched Lu Miao?"
The man named A Gao smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, our Mr. Su is not that kind of person, he can't do things like digging walls."
Qiao Ze just smiled and said nothing, his hands fell on Lu Miao's hair, and he stroked it once and for all.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Wu Manman poured wine and invited everyone to drink together.
Qiao Ze smiled, pushed Lu Miao away, picked up the wine expressionlessly, clinked glasses with everyone, and drank it all in one gulp.
Wu Manman saw Lu Miao sitting on the side, with embarrassment and loneliness in his expression, specially poured her a glass of wine and handed it to her.
Lu Miao laughed and reluctantly accepted it.
Wu Manman reckoned that it was the matter of accompanying her guide that night that made her in an awkward situation, and felt a little disgusted with Qiao Ze's appearance of declaring sovereignty and dislike, so she unconsciously said a few words for Lu Miao : "Mr. Qiao, speaking of it, it was also my problem that night. I took people there without notifying Miao Miao in advance. Miao Miao refused to comply at the time. Nothing really happened afterwards. Didn’t the police come? It really happened. Why can't she and Director Jie come out so quickly?"
"I don't know about the explanation." Qiao Ze smiled, "But she, I used a lot of connections to protect her back with real money. Did anything happen..."
He glanced at her: "Miss Wu, you are not there, how do you know?"
Wu Manman didn't dare to say anything more, neither did the others in the room.
Shang Qi smiled and smoothed things over: "Qiao Ze, what you said is wrong. Lu Miao has been with you for so many years. You can't trust us, you can't trust her?"
Qiao Ze smiled, but quickly suppressed his smile: "I really can't believe it."
He squinted at Lu Miao, and nodded his chin in Su Ming's direction: "Since you and Mr. Su are so close, and Mr. Su doesn't mind wearing second-hand shoes, I think it's better for you to follow him in the future."
"..." Lu Miao was stunned, with an expression of disbelief.
Wu Manman couldn't stand it anymore, Qiao Ze's words were a bit harsh, even she couldn't help it anymore, and pulled Lu Miao to her side.
"Mr. Qiao, you're done talking." As she was talking, her phone rang. She comforted Lu Miao a few words, then turned to answer the phone, her face slowly becoming serious.
Everyone in the room looked at her unconsciously.
Qiao Ze also smiled and looked at her steadily.
Wu Manman hung up the phone quickly, with a dignified face, but he managed to force a smile at Qiao Ze: "Mr. Qiao, our company has encountered something, we may have to go back to deal with it first, and I will invite you to dinner another day. "
Lu Miao stood up worriedly: "What happened?"
Wu Manman patted her on the shoulder to reassure her: "It's okay." Then he told her, "You and Mr. Qiao go back first, and talk to Mr. Qiao if you have anything to say."
Qiao Ze sat without moving, and looked at Wu Manman thoughtfully: "Miss Wu, what about our final payment?"
Wu Manman said: "The money will definitely be remitted to your account, so you and Mr. Cai can rest assured."
Qiao Ze nodded, without asking any further questions, he simply stood up, turned and walked towards the door.
Lu Miao got up and followed.
Qiao Ze turned his head and glanced at her: "Didn't I let you follow President Su?"
Embarrassment appeared on Lu Miao's face again, looking at Qiao Ze for a while, and Su Ming for a while, looking at a loss, almost crying.
Wu Manman couldn't let the two of them stay in such a stalemate, so he glanced at Su Ming.
Su Ming stood up and looked at Qiao Ze: "Mr. Qiao, believe it or not, Lu Miao and I are absolutely innocent. If you really dislike it, it's okay..." He glanced at Lu Miao, "Lu Miao, in the future You stay and follow me, and I will still make you delicious and spicy."
Qiao Ze chuckled, turned and left.
Lu Miao glanced at Su Ming hesitantly, bit her lip, and followed out.
Wu Manman shook his head and smiled: "Stupid."
Lu Miao followed Qiao Ze into the car.
After the car drove away from the clubhouse, Lu Miao couldn't help but turned to look at Qiao Ze: "What are you playing?"
Qiao Ze looked at her amusedly: "You don't even understand what I'm playing, so what are you doing?"
Lu Miao turned her head and simply ignored him, looking really annoyed.
Qiao Ze stretched out his arm towards her, and touched her head: "Are you angry?"
Lu Miao puffed her cheeks and didn't look at him: "I'm not angry, I'm thinking about Mr. Qiao's words."
Joze: "What?"
"Since Boss Su and I hit it off so well, Boss Su doesn't mind wearing second-hand shoes. In my opinion, I might as well follow him in the future." Lu Miao returned his words to him verbatim, and added, " I think Mr. Su is pretty good too."
Qiao Ze nodded: "It's pretty good." He glanced at her, "I asked you to establish a normal relationship with him, but what did you tell me? Chatting is also a normal relationship." He said what she said in Macau back then It was returned to her exactly.
Lu Miao was embarrassed all of a sudden, and didn't talk to him, and angrily didn't want to talk to him.After returning home, he wanted to go back to his room when he entered the house, but was pulled into his arms by Qiao Ze from behind, with his back pressed against his chest.
He bowed his head and kissed her: "Are you still angry?" The gentle voice was completely different from the teasing tone just now.
Lu Miao shrank her neck to avoid his kiss: "I won't be angry if you tell me what's going on."
Joze was amused by her childish words, pinched her cheek, and turned the person back to face him.
Lu Miao still puffed out her cheeks, and tugged at his cuff: "Hurry up and talk."
She looked really not angry, and she would not lose her temper with him. No matter how hurtful what he said just now, or how bad his attitude was, she simply believed that he was acting and didn't think much about it.
If he really had any second thoughts about her, she probably still wishful thinking that he was only for work.
Kind of silly.
Qiao Ze hugged her, rubbing his face against the top of her head, a little reluctant to let go.
Lu Miao also calmed down, and gently tugged at his cuff: "What's going on?"
"It's just a play." Qiao Ze hugged her and sat down on the sofa, "We have been visiting Shang Qi and Wu Manman's drug factory for the past two days. The call Wu Manman received just now may be The shipment they shipped at night was confiscated by the police."
"..." Lu Miao looked at him in surprise, she didn't know anything.
"What I want is your state where you don't know anything." Qiao Ze looked at her, "Lu Miao, no matter how good your acting skills are, there is always a possibility of revealing your secrets. As long as they stare into your eyes for more than 3 minutes, your Eyes and expressions cannot be 100% real. This matter is no small matter, and Wu Manman can't be fooled by you like before.
"There is basically no use for you in this matter, so it is completely meaningless for you to know, but it is easy to make you a target. You don't know anything. No matter what I say, do, or even scold, you are This kind of cloudy and unclear state is enough.
"I said that on purpose in the box at night, just to clear three messages to Shang Qi and Wu Manman through the dispute: First, you have been under their strict surveillance all night today, Su Ming can prove it, so no matter what You can’t even know what happened; second, I’m very concerned about Wu Manman arranging you to accompany him as a guide. , I will clean you up internally. In other words, you are very important to me, but this importance is only based on face, but not so important that I regard you as a human being.
"This is probably the current state of Shang Qi and Wu Manman, based on the combination of interests. This kind of treatment will make Wu Manman more or less concerned about my face in the future, and will not arrange those messy accompanying drinks for you. She feels a little bit of sympathy for you, so relax your vigilance."
Especially when he said those words, her confused and injured face easily fooled people.
Wu Manman has no humanity at all, but when he meets someone in a similar situation, he always has some empathy, and then he feels a little bit of pity.
People's vigilance is easily lost in this kind of pity and sympathy.
What Qiao Ze wants is for Wu Manman to relax his vigilance towards Lu Miao. The more Wu Manman leans toward her emotionally, the more inclined he is to trust her intellectually.
"What's the third message?" Lu Miao, who hadn't spoken yet, turned her head and asked him.
Qiao Ze didn't say clearly: "This has nothing to do with you. It's just to give them such an impression, in case they need it."
"It's a good thing for you to be a little confused once in a while. You're just being silly at this stage, and you're all about building a good relationship with Wu Manman." Qiao Ze raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "I'll go to the bureau first .you should rest earlier."
Lu Miao stood up subconsciously: "I will go too."
Qiao Ze sat her down: "Stay at home during this time, don't run around."
He didn't let her follow, and went to the bureau by himself.
Shen Yu just came out after interrogating the prisoner.
"How's the situation?" Joe asked.
Shen Yu: "I caught everyone, and basically brought back everyone, except for the one you specified to be captured alive."
Qiao Ze frowned: "What's the situation?"
"Run away, ate a bullet, let him run away." Shen Yu pressed the interrogation materials in his hand, "He is very familiar with the terrain over there, and his skills are not bad. He brought smoke bombs and fled in the chaos. gone."
He looked at Qiao Ze: "Why, do you know him?"
Qiao Ze shook his head slowly: "I'm not sure." Looking at Shen Yu, "What's your name?"
"They called him 'Brother Chao', and his identity and background are unknown. No one can tell where he is from or what his name is, and further investigation is needed."
Joze nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The police released a notice on the official Weibo that night about the arrest: Received reports from the masses that a certain director surnamed Jie had gathered crowds to take drugs in a certain community for many times. He was arrested and brought to justice during the drug trade. The amount of drugs involved is astonishing, and the police will conduct further investigations.
Turn the focus of the case to director Xie.
The next day, Qiao Ze took a newspaper and went to Qixun Venture Capital early in the morning, waiting for Shang Qi and Wu Manman in the reception room.
Shang Qi and Wu Manman finally appeared after half an hour, and Su Ming also came in together.
Seeing the people coming in, Qiao Ze smiled at them and fixed his eyes on Wu Manman's face: "Miss Wu, when will the final payment be settled?"
His attitude was ambiguous, Wu Manman couldn't figure out the meaning of his special trip here, she held the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Mr. Qiao, why are you free to come here today?"
"I'm afraid that if I don't come here again, I won't have a chance to collect the final payment." Qiao Ze threw the newspaper on the table, "Miss Wu, you hesitated to talk about it last night, isn't that the reason? I will ask you for the final payment immediately, or do you want to renege on the debt?"
He turned his head and glanced at the explanation in the newspaper: "Who are we looking for here? Don't you know that the police have already spotted it? If we follow this batch of goods and find us, we will all have to play."
He looked at her again: "Miss Wu, to be honest, are your people's mouths strict? If we dig deeper, should we continue this business?"
Shang Qi answered with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, when no one makes a mistake, how many people have been arrested inside and outside over the years, don't we still stand tall?"
Qiao Ze followed suit with a smile: "With Mr. Shang's words, our Chairman Cai can rest assured." The conversation changed, "Then Mr. Shang, when will you pay?"
Shang Qi was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Qiao, you see, this accident just happened, and the rumors are tight. The money is coming and going, so it is easy for the police to keep an eye on it. The final payment is estimated to be slow."
Qiao Ze pondered for a while, nodded, agreed, and stopped being aggressive.He came here today just to seize the opportunity, chatted in harmony for a while and left first.
His sense of hearing has not recovered, and his arguing with Shang Qi and Wu Manman is all based on lip reading. Once people leave that face-to-face environment, the surrounding world becomes silent, so when he got out of the elevator, he didn't notice the approaching footsteps After getting out of the elevator, he turned left and headed towards the gate. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a young woman at the corner.
She swayed, looking as if she was about to fall, he instinctively helped her, she looked up in thanks, her face froze instantly.
"Jiang Xing?" She cried out, her voice trembling.
Lu Miao also happened to go downstairs, and Huang Jiayin wanted to come over, so Wu Manman asked her to come down to pick him up.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw two people standing face to face, and the loss of control on Huang Jiayin's face.
But she couldn't see the look on Joze's face, he turned his back to her.
"Sister Jiayin." Lu Miao called her, walked towards her, and when she got to her side, she secretly glanced at Qiao Ze.
Joze's complexion was very pale.
In contrast, Huang Jiayin was much more excited. She held Qiao Ze's arm tightly and looked like she was about to cry: "You're not dead, you're not dead! Why did you keep it from me?"
Qiao Ze pursed his lips, and pulled her hand down, but she suddenly lost control, threw herself into Qiao Ze's arms, hugged him tightly, and cried, as if her heart was broken.
Lu Miao had never imagined such a situation, and Qiao Ze had never explained to her the past between him and Huang Jiayin. The scene in front of her was completely beyond her imagination. She didn't know how to deal with it, and she seemed a little helpless Taking measures, he subconsciously looked at Qiao Ze.
Qiao Ze froze and did not move, and returned her a comforting look, telling her to go back first.
Lu Miao nodded hesitantly, turned and left.
After walking a few steps, she unconsciously looked back at the two of them. The scene of Huang Jiayin holding Qiao Ze and crying made her a little uncomfortable, but right now she doesn't know anything about the situation, it's impossible for her to be like other girls, He stepped forward confidently and pulled the person away, and even slapped her.
Her job doesn't allow her any emotional displays.
She saw Qiao Ze pull Huang Jiayin away, she didn't hear what he said, only saw him and Huang Jiayin leaving together.
Her mood suddenly fell, and she met Wu Manman as soon as she returned to the office.
Wu Manman only saw her alone, and looked behind her in surprise: "Where's Jiayin?"
"She..." Lu Miao pointed behind her, "Leave."
Wu Manman: "Why did you leave suddenly? Didn't you say something happened?"
Lu Miao wanted to say that she didn't know, but thinking about the relationship between Huang Jiayin and Wu Manman, she would know that Qiao Ze might be the one Huang Jiayin was thinking about sooner or later, so she hesitated and said, "She...is with President Qiao. gone."
Wu Manman frowned: "Mr. Qiao?"
Lu Miao nodded and hummed: "I saw them leaving together."
Wu Manman looked a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions, just looked out of the window thoughtfully, then turned and left.
Lu Miao returned to his seat, but he was not in the mood, and all he wanted was to follow the two who left together.
Su Ming sat across from her, and just now listened to the conversation between her and Wu Manman. Seeing her sullen, she crossed her arms across the table and knocked on her table: "I'm worried that Mr. Qiao will be snatched away by Ms. Huang." ?”
Lu Miao didn't know what he meant by that, teasing was not like teasing, and comforting was not like comforting, so he just asked her this question very seriously.
She shook her head: "No."
Su Ming glanced at her, flipped through the documents in front of him casually: "Just because of the outburst you Mr. Qiao made at me last night, you Mr. Qiao don't seem like a person who is always in a hurry."
Lu Miao was still not sure whether he was probing or something else, so he remained silent and did not reply.
When she didn't speak, people looked a little depressed. Coupled with the injured look last night, Su Ming couldn't understand her thoughts for a while, shook his head, and didn't speak again.
Lu Miao managed to get off work with great difficulty, and when the time came, he picked up his bag and left. He wanted to call Qiao Ze on the way, but he was worried that he was for work and was afraid of disturbing him. He didn't dare to send text messages casually. I left home, but I didn't expect that there was no one at home, and Qiao Ze hadn't come back yet.
Lu Miao didn't call or send a message to Qiao Ze, and waited for him at home alone, and fell asleep while waiting.
Qiao Ze didn't come back until after nine o'clock. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lu Miao curled up on the sofa, covered only by a thin quilt.
He walked over and bent over to call her a few times.
Lu Miao opened her eyes in a daze, and her mind was still not clear, she muttered: "I'm back..." turned over and wanted to continue sleeping.
"Go back to the room and sleep, it's easy to catch cold here."
He gently persuaded her, bent over and picked her up, put her back on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover her and was about to get up when the corner of her clothes was gently grabbed.
He lowered his eyes to look at her. Her eyes, which were still drowsy a moment ago, had gradually cleared up now, and they were wide open, looking at him hesitantly.
"I'm full of sleep."
He rubbed her slightly messy hair with the palm of his hand: "Have you slept enough so soon?"
She nodded slightly, hesitated for a while, and met his eyes: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
She still cared more or less about the scene she saw in the afternoon.
Shang Qi and Wu Manman's drug factory involved work, he chose to hide it for her safety, she could understand him, but Huang Jiayin...
Thinking of Huang Jiayin holding him and crying hoarsely, she felt a little depressed.
He lowered his head slightly, looking into her eyes.
She avoided it in a little embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "You just left me and her in the afternoon. I feel uncomfortable. I don't know if you have anything with her. If you like her, we will break up." Even if you can never be together because of your position, as long as you like her in your heart, I don’t want to be with you anymore. I don’t like when you are holding me, but you are thinking of another person .”
"What nonsense?" He hooked her chin lightly, forcing her to look up at him.
"I don't like Huang Jiayin." He looked at her, saying every word seriously, "Never. Whether it's a matter of position or her character, I can't accept her. Of course, I don't deny it." , She did unilaterally fall in love with me, and she was very kind to me. She repeatedly rebelled against her father for me, unintentionally helped me a lot, and even... almost risked her own life to save me.
"She treats me just like Xu Jiayan treats you. She has wishful thinking and always does things that touch her, thinking that it is love and selflessness. Of course, if someone treats me so completely and selflessly, I will indeed be touched. , but more guilt and distress, especially the fact that she was injured. I can't take care of her for the rest of my life just because I am moved or guilty. This is irresponsible for each other's lives. My position does not allow me to do so. My heart doesn't like to do that either.
"Lu Miao, I've lived to this age, I've never seen anything, I can tell the difference between emotion and emotion.
"During this journey, there are many women who treat me well and don't want their lives for me. If I have to respond to each one, my women can probably form a few tables of mahjong now.
"Apart from laws and responsibilities, I have no right to ask others to do or not to do. Similarly, what others do or not to do cannot be a reason for me to compromise. I will be moved, feel guilty, and feel worthless for them. , but at the same time, I will also be troubled. I have never seduced or used any women, and I have no moral responsibility to them. Their selflessness may become a psychological burden on me. I cannot just because a person likes me, To bear the responsibility of her liking. The liking must be mutual."
His explanation made her a little embarrassed. Thinking of the little emotion just now, her cheeks burned hot again, she said "I'm sorry", she closed her eyes slightly and didn't dare to look at him, and it took a long time to hold back a word : "I didn't doubt you on purpose, but I saw that you have been out for so long and there is no news at all, which is enough to open several hourly rooms."
She almost muttered the second half of the sentence from her lips and teeth. Although her voice was small, Joze could still hear it.He was amused by her, his hands were a little itchy, and he pinched her cheek lightly: "There is something in the head.
"I wasn't with her in the afternoon. I just took her out, explained why I was still alive, and then they each left. For a woman who fell out with her father and didn't even want her life, she For this man, what else can't be done? Lu Miao, in that case, I don't want you to be her target. "
Lu Miao felt even more ashamed to see him, and her face was very hot.
He looked down at her: "Excuse me?"
Lu Miao pushed him awkwardly, avoiding his eyes and dared not look at him, and said "I'm sorry" again in a murmur.
Qiao Ze smiled and hugged her gently.
"Dai Miao, being jealous is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, I'm glad you gave me this reaction. You were half forced and half tricked by me. You've always given me the feeling of being ignorant and ignorant, which gives me a lot Uncertainty. I also hope that occasionally you can express your emotional appeal through your words, your emotions, instead of just waiting for me to guide you."
"I don't have it." She looked up at him, a little unconvinced, "I was the one who looked for you first that night."
As soon as the words fell into his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she became embarrassed again. She pushed him and turned over to rest, but he hugged her waist and pressed her forehead against hers.
"Not sad, huh?" He asked softly, looking into her eyes quietly, the doting in his eyes made her more embarrassed.
"I'm not really sad, it's just that I'm a little bored. At that time, she hugged you and cried, and you pushed me away and ran away with her. Later, I didn't even have a phone call or text message. Although I know you may be for work, But no matter how much I believe in you, I can't help but think wildly."
As she spoke, she looked up at him: "But I still say that, if you find that you like her, or feel ashamed of her, you go to her, and I won't stop you. What you should do I will still do my job well, and you don’t have to worry about me betraying you if you run away or something. Although I haven’t lived to your age, I can still distinguish between personal feelings and work.”
Qiao Ze was amused, and pinched her cheek: "What do you mean you won't stop her? You're willing to put it so lightly?"
Unexpectedly, she nodded seriously: "I'm thinking about others, what are you doing with it? Except that it can be used there, everything else is useless. It's not as good as Lubao's toys, at least they're clean..."
Qiao Ze lightly pinched her waist: "Could it be you who misunderstood?"
Lu Miao was ticklish, and he couldn't hold back when he pinched her. She was laughed at, and the depression in her heart had long since dissipated.
Instead, Qiao Ze withdrew his hand, and with one arm, he embraced her whole body in his arms, turned over and let her lie on his chest, with his chin resting lightly on the top of her head.
"Lu Miao, the problem you assumed will not exist at all. I have known Huang Jiayin since I was lurking next to Huang Chang the year before last, and she has been interested in me since then. If I really like her, I won't wait until this It’s time to realize it later.”
He looked down at her: "Not everyone is like you, dull and stupid, and you can't tell what liking is."
Lu Miao pushed him embarrassingly: "You are slow and stupid."
"Why aren't you dull and stupid?" Qiao Ze looked at her motionless, "If I hadn't forced you, wouldn't you have to shrink in your turtle shell for the rest of your life?"
"Then my brother forced me too...it was earlier than you." Lu Miao was not convinced, "I wasn't with him either."
These words pleased Qiao Ze, he bowed his head and kissed her forehead again, then hugged her into his arms and let her rest on his arms.
"Lu Miao, don't let me know later." He said, "If you tell me that you like Xu Jiayan, or other men, I won't be as light as you, casually Let you find him."
Lu Miao became interested, and looked up at him: "If there is an emergency, what do you want?"
Qiao Ze: "There is no chance."
Lu Miao: "I mean what if, what if there is?"
Joze: "No if."
Lu Miao: "..."
"Lu Miao." He looked at her seriously, "What won't happen to me, I don't want to happen to you either. Don't fall in love with others."
The word "love" made Lu Miao a little uncomfortable, but she still nodded uncomfortably: "I don't."
After some nonsense, Lu Miao had long forgotten what she was originally angry with. She was not a thoughtful person, and she didn't take it to heart when she said a few words. She was even a little childish, very independent, and trusted him unconditionally.
The person lay on his chest, fell asleep while chatting, curled up like a kitten, his slightly messy hair tickled his chest.
Qiao Ze looked down at her, not feeling sleepy.
He is not a person of lust, but every time he sees her, he wants to push her under him, bully her fiercely, and see her various postures under him, whether she is charming or charming or naive.It seemed that only when they were in harmony with each other, could he truly feel that they belonged to each other, no matter how the outside world was disturbing, there was only one of her left in his eyes.
There is only one her in this world.
Qiao Ze suddenly remembered meeting Huang Jiayin in the afternoon.
Her loss of control and her inability to let go were all within his expectations.He knew her obsession with him, as early as when he was still working under Huang Chang, she showed this liking unabashedly.It's just not what he wants, no matter how persistent she is, he still can't give her any response, and he can't let the task go halfway because of her personal feelings.The only thing he can guarantee is to make it clear and not to provoke.
But just like Lu Miao would provoke Lu Miao if he didn't provoke him, Lu Miao couldn't control his behavior, and likewise, he couldn't control Huang Jiayin's behavior either.
Her father suspected him, and she and his father almost broke up because of it.
In order to save Gao Yuan, he broke into the room with the explosive device alone, and she secretly followed him in, and even blocked him when the danger happened, and she almost crippled a pair of legs.
Whether it was due to his subjective will or not, it was a fact that she saved him. From this point of view, he owed her.But any compensation from him, except for emotional feedback, is not what she wants, but what she wants is something he can't afford and doesn't want to give.
The only thing he could do was to secretly ask an authoritative doctor for her to heal her leg.
When talking about this issue with her in the afternoon, Huang Jiayin became very excited. In her heart, she had already lost her leg because of him. How could he be indifferent to her?
Her obsession will make her feel unwilling, and even become hostile to any woman who gets him.
He had seen her ruthlessness before, back in Huang's villa, when she was not sure that he was Jiang Xing, she had already tested Lu Miao with a Tibetan mastiff. He saw her eyes and expression under the binoculars. Insignificant to death.
Now that she is sure that he is Jiang Xing, if she finds that his thoughts are on Lu Miao, it is impossible for her not to deal with Lu Miao.
Qiao Ze looked down at Lu Miao who was still sleeping soundly. She was still sleeping soundly. Probably only when they returned to this small space, where he and she were, could they let go of all their vigilance and defenses and have a good sleep. Sleep.
This road is always on the edge of a knife, and it is extremely dangerous, and then there is another Huang Jiayin who can't love her, saying that she is not worried about her is a lie.
All along, he has always avoided meeting Huang Jiayin head-on, just to buy more time for him and Lu Miao.
One reason is to buy enough time to officially establish a cooperative relationship with Shang Qi and Wu Manman, so that he can return to their sight as a drug dealer. This is the only reason he can explain his "fake death". He hated Huang Chang's credulous villain, set a trap to kill Gao Yuan, changed his name and surname after escaping from the dead, secretly developed his own drug trafficking network, devoured Huang Chang's drug market, and waited for revenge - this is what he gave Huang Jiayin. But hide the reason from her.
Another reason why he avoided meeting Huang Jiayin head-on was that he was worried that Lu Miao would become her target.Worried that Huang Jiayin would pass on all the unwillingness to Lu Miao.Lu Miao's responsibilities and tasks often make it impossible for her to let go or run away like them.But in this circle, it is impossible not to touch him, he can only delay as long as possible, until Lu Miao completely wins Wu Manman's trust, and until she has enough ability to handle all emergencies on her own.
He didn't expect to run into Huang Jiayin, but it happened at the juncture when Shangqi Group had accidents one after another.
All night, Qiao Ze was thinking about what might happen, but no matter what he had planned, he was not by Lu Miao's side after all, so he could only tell her to be more careful.
Even without Qiao Ze's entrustment, Lu Miao would naturally be wary of Huang Jiayin.
When she arrived at the company early in the morning, she met Huang Jiayin who came to look for Wu Manman.
Seeing her, Huang Jiayin still greeted her politely as usual, with a kind smile on her face, and even approached her intimately, holding her arm, and asked her if she was used to working here, and if there was anything wrong with her Yes, if you have, tell Wu Manman well, wait, after a warm exchange of greetings, even Wu Manman came over and smiled angrily, saying that Huang Jiayin's thoughts were all on Lu Miao, and she was going to be jealous .
Several people laughed and made a fuss, and Huang Jiayin followed Wu Manman to her office.
As soon as the office door was closed, Huang Jiayin smiled.
"What's the situation with Lu Miao and Qiao Ze now?" She asked with a pale face.
Wu Manman roughly talked about what happened in the past few days, and Qiao Ze's attitude towards Lu Miao in the box that day.
Huang Jiayin looked thoughtful: "Qiao Ze should not be that kind of person, he has always been honest with women. He is such a completely unfeminine person, how could he keep a little girl?"
"Men always have that kind of need." Although Wu Manman knew that Huang Jiayin and Qiao Ze went out yesterday afternoon, she didn't know that Qiao Ze was the man she had been thinking about for a year, and looked at her in confusion, "Jiayin, Do you know Mr. Joe?"
Huang Jiayin nodded, didn't talk much, and changed the topic: "I heard that you have been terminated for two consecutive deals recently, even the factory?"
As soon as Wu Manman was mentioned, he got a headache, and accidents happened one after another, not to mention losing the market, and it was difficult to explain to the higher-ups.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Huang Jiayin looked at her, "Even my father doesn't know the location of your factory, where did the police get the news? And your transaction, how could it be so coincidental, the explanation was that the police Who are you targeting?"
"We have also considered this issue and suspected that there is an insider, but everyone who should be investigated has been investigated, and there is nothing suspicious." Wu Manman's furrowed eyebrows have not been relaxed since Huang Jiayin came in, "Explain this matter It may also be the follow-up effect of Li Junhao's incident, after all, they are in the same circle. Li Junhao is in it, and he must explain it."
Huang Jiayin nodded ponderingly: "The others are not suspected, and Lu Miao is not suspected either?"
"It's been fine before, but accidents have happened one after another since she joined the company..." Huang Jiayin casually leaned on the desk, turned her head to look at Wu Manman, "Isn't this suspicious?"
"..." Wu Manman showed confusion on his face, "It's impossible, she has no access to any core information, the factory and the transaction have not been mentioned in front of her, and she was under our surveillance on the day of the accident. Every day Except for going to and from get off work, she has no contact with other people in the company, how can she get internal information?"
"She can't get it..." Huang Jiayin paused for a moment, "Her man can always get it, right?"
"..." Wu Manman quickly realized, "You mean Qiao Ze?"
Huang Jiayin didn't nod or shake his head, but kept turning his head to look at her: "Qiao Ze's real name is Jiang Xing."
Wu Manman opened his mouth, somewhat astonished.
She is no stranger to the word "Jiang Xing", it is the person around Huang Chang, the man Huang Jiayin misses.Although I hadn't seen it before, Jiang Xing was well-known among them, and he solved many problems for Huang Chang, but later on I don't know why something happened.There are internal rumors that he was an undercover police officer, and there are also rumors that he was shot and killed because he wanted to take Huang Chang's position. There are different opinions and no conclusion.
"At the beginning Jiang Xing happened because of Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan may be a policeman. Does this prove that...Jiang Xing may also be a policeman? If Jiang Xing is also a policeman, will everything be explained?"
Wu Manman's complexion gradually became serious, carefully recalling the things that happened during the period of cooperation with Qiao Ze, there was nothing suspicious about his behavior, but the accidents happened one after another, which really made people have to be suspicious.
"Is there any evidence?" After all, he has cooperated with Qiao Ze, and he doesn't look like a kind person, who can be easily fooled. Before he was sure, Wu Manman still didn't dare to draw conclusions easily.
After two accidents in a row, she and Shang Qi are already in a state of desperation, and Qiao Ze is pressing every step of the way. If there is an accidental injury, their cooperation with Suo Fei must be completely suspended.She didn't dare to take the risk without evidence.
Huang Jiayin spread his hands: "No. Some things don't have to be proved by evidence, you will know if you try it?"
Wu Manman looked at her: "How to try?"
Huang Jiayin: "Lu Miao belongs to him. Does she know if he is a policeman?"
Wu Manman has reservations. Judging from Qiao Ze's attitude towards Lu Miao in the past few days, it is normal for Lu Miao to not know about it.
Huang Jiayin's words were somewhat provocative.
Wu Manman approached Huang Jiayin more or less with a purpose. Their goal was Huang Chang. She was not sure whether Huang Jiayin was aware of her purpose and deliberately provoked their relationship with Suo Fei, or just wanted to borrow her Suppress Lu Miao with his hands.
Unable to understand Huang Jiayin's thoughts, Wu Manman stood still and looked at her with a little confusion: "Jiayin, don't you love Jiang Xing very much? Now you finally found out that he is still alive, shouldn't you be happy Is it? What do you mean, like wanting to put him to death?"
"Who said I wanted to put him to death?" Huang Jiayin glanced at her, "Jiang Xing has always been suspected of being a policeman. Especially my dad, who hates him because of my injury, will definitely do everything possible Destroy him. He will run into my dad sooner or later, and he will definitely reveal his secrets when he meets. My dad will tell you that he is a policeman. Can you not suspect him? Why don't you let me warn you first? Just try it and you will know, so that you can rest assured in future cooperation, and I will also dispel my doubts about him, a win-win result, why not do it?"
Wu Manman: "What if he is really a policeman?"
Huang Jiayin was silent for a while, then looked at her: "It's up to you."
Wu Manman was also silent for a moment: "How to try?"
Huang Jiayin waved at her, and whispered something in her ear when she came over.
Wu Manman's complexion gradually became serious, and he was a little worried.
Huang Jiayin didn't force her either: "I'm just giving you an idea, whether you want to adopt it or not is up to you." She glanced at her phone, "Okay, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first. After thinking about it, let me Telephone."
After Huang Jiayin left, Wu Manman went to Shang Qi's office and conveyed Huang Jiayin's words to Shang Qi. Although she was responsible for all the matters, Shang Qi was the one who made the decision.
Shang Qi was somewhat concerned about his relationship with Suo Fei, and the successive accidents really made him feel uneasy. It would be great to take this opportunity to find out about Qiao Ze's background.But correspondingly, he was also worried about backlash, fearing that his misjudgment would anger Qiao Ze instead.
"Let's observe first." After pondering for a while, Shang Qi finally only gave Wu Manman these few words.
Wu Manman understood and didn't dare to act privately. When facing Lu Miao, he still did what he should, and even became more intimate. He specially called Lu Miao to join him in the internal meeting a few days later, and Qiao Ze was also there. .
The meeting was held at Shang Qi's home, and the discussion was about a drug deal, or the entertainment industry market, and the big investors who were in charge of organizing the game in the circles that got online through the solution.
When talking about the specific transaction information, Lu Miao was paid out.
The meeting lasted until nearly one o'clock in the evening.
On the way back, Lu Miao couldn't help asking what was going on with Qiao Ze.
"Using Wu Manman's words, it's because the news has been tight recently and something happened just now. Everyone should take it easy and supply a small amount first. They still have a small amount of stock inside, so they can use it to explore the way first, and make sure there is no problem. Then fly away from Suofei." Qiao Ze turned the steering wheel unhurriedly, "The reason sounds good."
Lu Miao: "Really?"
Qiao Ze glanced at the rearview mirror: "Someone is following."
Lu Miao: "..."
Her complexion became serious, and she restrained herself from looking back. She just glanced in the rearview mirror without any trace. From the traffic behind her, it was not easy to judge whether the car behind was following her or happened to be on the same road.
"Black, tail number 034." Qiao Ze reminded, "Fasten your seat belt."
Lu Miao had already put on his seat belt when he got in the car, and now he subconsciously tightened it up.
"Sit tight."
After exhorting in a low voice, Qiao Ze stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the speed of the car almost reached the end in an instant. He was speeding up, but his driving skills were not as good as Qiao Ze's. There were no cars on the road in the middle of the night, which brought great convenience to Qiao Ze. After a few sharp turns, the car behind him disappeared without a trace.
When he got home, Qiao Ze threw the car keys on the coffee table, sat down on the sofa, pulled Lu Miao down on his lap, bowed his head and kissed her, and then looked into her eyes slowly. Slowly said: "Lu Miao, you may have to move out first during this time, can you do it alone?"
Lu Miao looked at him in surprise, nodded: "Yes."
But she was still a little confused: "Can I know why? Who is following us tonight?"
"It may be Huang Jiayin's person, or it may be Shang Qi or Wu Manman's person." He gently brushed away the bangs that slid down her forehead with the palm of his hand, "But no matter who sent it, there is no one in essence. What's the difference. The purpose is the same, someone is following you.
"During this time, I don't want you to get too close to me. You can be as alienated as you can be, and you don't care as much as you don't care. I will find you a house and I will give you a car from Shenqiao. Get one. In the future, you will live alone and commute to get off work alone, will that work?"
Lu Miao nodded, a little worried: "But your ears are not good yet, are you alright by yourself?"
"I'm fine, no one will do anything to me at this stage." He lowered his head and touched her forehead, "You must take care of yourself when I'm not here, and don't let anything happen to you. You take Lu Bao away, with him here, I'm more at ease."
"I don't want Lu Bao." Lu Miao was worried about him, "My ears are fine. It's good that Lu Bao is with you."
"My ears are already recovering, so there's no need for Lu Bao to accompany you." He stroked her forehead with his fingertips, "Be obedient, let Lu Bao follow you, it is highly vigilant."
"But..." Lu Miao frowned, still not at ease.
Qiao Ze kissed her: "This is an order."
He used his status to pressure her, and she couldn't compete with him anymore. Although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to agree.
"During this time, no matter what you hear or receive, you are not allowed to bypass me and report to the police. All messages must pass through my filtering first." Qiao Ze solemnly warned, "Like tonight, it is probably just A trap. So whatever you heard tonight, forget about it, do what you do or do what you do.
"In recent days, the enemy must move, but I won't move; the enemy won't move, but I still won't move. It's time to go to work, and it's time to relax. You must win Wu Manman to your side as soon as possible. She Although people are selfish, they still have a bit of sympathy for you, understand?"
Lu Miao nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that she understood, Qiao Ze wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but it was still heavy.After all, it was the first time that she was completely out of his sight. Although he trusted her on-the-spot reaction ability and believed that she could deal with any accidents properly, maybe he really cared about it, and he was not as relieved as before.
Lu Miao saw his worry and shook his hand: "I'll be fine. Anyway, I was honed by you in this circle for so long, you can't trust me, you can't trust yourself ah?"
Qiao Ze said nothing, but stretched out his arms to wrap her in his arms.
He didn't want him to be a bargaining chip for them to coerce her.
(End of this chapter)
Lu Miao didn't wake up until after seven o'clock the next day, and Qiao Ze also just woke up, so he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips: "Morning."
Thinking of last night, Lu Miao felt uncomfortable, and murmured "Morning".
The shy look made Qiao Ze feel a little ready to move.
Lu Miao saw the alarm clock next to the bed, and the time on the clock made her sit up immediately, but Qiao Ze suppressed it.
"I asked you for half a day's leave. Last night, the police cracked down on pornography, and everyone knew about it. You are in a bad mood and recuperate at home."
Lu Miao's movements stopped immediately, and she looked at him: "What did Wu Manman say?"
"What else can I say, she pushed you in, please apologize." Qiao Ze's tone was not salty, his eyelids were half closed, Lu Miao couldn't see his expression clearly, but he clearly felt his arms around her waist His palms are tightening.She wasn't sure if he was blaming himself or worried about her, so her heart softened and she took his hand: "I'm fine."
Qiao Ze glanced at her, stretched out his long arms, and wrapped her in his arms, clasped the back of her head with his palms, and pressed her against his chest.
"Daimao, no matter what, you must protect yourself.
"Although I have always told myself that I must be worthy of the police uniform on my body and the mission entrusted to us by this profession. However, I hope you are well, and we must always be well."
Lu Miao raised her head from his arms: "I will."
Qiao Ze stared at her for a long time, rubbed his palms on her hair, bowed his head and kissed her.
Lu Miao went to work in the afternoon, and met Wu Manman as soon as he arrived at the company.
Wu Manman greeted her with a smiling face, apologizing and worried about her situation.
Lu Miao was a little tired from being tormented by Qiao Ze last night, and her complexion was not very good. She didn't wear makeup on purpose today, and she looked haggard. It really seemed that she was affected by what happened last night.
She didn't say much, but returned Wu Manman with a forced smile, said "it's okay" and went back to the office.
Lu Miao's reaction also made Wu Manman a little uneasy, staring at her back figured out nothing.
Qiao Ze called her early this morning, his voice was so cold that it almost seemed to be frozen.
Wu Manman still remembers what he said at that time.
"Miss Wu, what do you mean by pushing my woman out?
"You're the one who wants to go there, you don't trust me, you want to use her to restrain me, I agree, but push her out to accompany those bad old men, have you asked me?
"You'd better figure it out, that's my person, not yours. I just lent her to you as a hostage, but it's not for you to use her as a prostitute.
"If there is another similar situation and the cooperation is terminated, I still have the decision-making power."
He dropped her phone without asking her to explain, and he didn't answer when he called again. She specially sent a text message to explain and apologize, but Qiao Ze didn't reply.
She couldn't figure out what Joze was thinking.
Looking at Lu Miao's situation now, she guessed whether Lu Miao was also taken care of by Qiao Ze last night, and she was a little worried that she would become Qiao Ze's abandoned pawn.
Just like what Qiao Ze said, when Lu Miao was arranged to join the company, on the one hand, he wanted to use her to get closer to Qiao Ze, and on the other hand, he wanted to use her to restrain Qiao Ze.But because of the separation and reunion of Lu Miao and Qiao Ze, she couldn't figure out how important Lu Miao was to Qiao Ze, and she was not sure whether the relationship between the two was based on emotion or cooperation.
The arrangement last night was indeed somewhat risky. One was for business considerations, and the other was to take the opportunity to test Lu Miao's status with Qiao Ze.
Now Qiao Ze gave her the answer clearly, Lu Miao is very important!
After Lu Miao went to work, Qiao Ze took the box of medicine she brought back to the anti-drug team and handed it over to the technicians for identification.
The identification results came out soon, and they were all new types of drugs, such as methamphetamine, K powder, LSD hallucinogens, psychedelic mushrooms...all of which were synthetic new types of drugs commonly found in the drug market.
Shen Yu and Deputy Liu were also there, they were invited by Qiao Ze.
Because Xiao Zhan was seriously injured, he is still recovering from his injuries. Deputy Liu invited Shen Yu back to the anti-narcotics team to take charge of Xiao Zhan temporarily.
Shen Yu was also a good player in the anti-drug team back then, but in those few years because of the Ancheng clan's fighting problem, he had a high reputation in the local area, so he resigned and became the patriarch.But for so many years, he has been leading the group of brothers under him to help Deputy Liu collect intelligence, and his relationship with the police force has not been broken, but it is equivalent to turning from a policeman on the surface to an informant.
"What's the situation?" As soon as Shen Yu entered the room, he sat down opposite Qiao Ze and got straight to the point.
Qiao Ze was holding the medicine box in his hand, thinking about it.
Seeing the two people come in, he turned the box over without delay: "Someone sent a message through this box." His long finger swiped across the barcode attached to the box, "The normal barcode number is 13 digits, the barcode here is 14 digits."
"Normal barcode, the first 3 digits represent the country and region, and 690-695 is the code of mainland China. The first 4 digits of this barcode are 0942, which is obviously inconsistent with the actual situation. The 4th to 8th digits normally represent the code of the manufacturer. Here The 6 digits in the middle are 256124, which has nothing to do with the manufacturer on the box. Therefore, it can be basically proved that this barcode is actually just a string of code words. 0942 is the city code of Ancheng, 256124, the postal code of Anmen District, Ancheng District, The last four are in 4. I read the local chronicles of Ancheng in the morning. In the 1998s, the fireworks factory in Ancheng developed rapidly. Especially in 90, the Xingsheng Fireworks Factory located in the suburb of Anmen flourished. But in that year, the gunpowder factory caught fire. After the explosion, the entire factory area was blown up, and that area became a wasteland, which the locals call '1998 Barren Ridge'."
Qiao Ze pushed the packing box: "That's probably where Shang Qi and Wu Manman secretly developed drugs."
Shen Yu and Liu Fu glanced at each other and quickly stood up.
"I'll make arrangements."
The next morning, the news of the destruction of a large-scale drug manufacturing den in the 98 barren hills of Ancheng made the headlines of the major media in Ancheng, and all the on-site drug manufacturing personnel were controlled by the police.
The arrest operation was completed in a surprise attack, and no news was leaked.
After listening to Qiao Ze's analysis, Shen Yu quickly analyzed the terrain and completed the deployment.
His familiarity with Ancheng, as well as the intelligence information of Shen Qiao and others, allowed him to arrange the entire arrest operation to be watertight. The thunderous attack hit the drug dealers on the scene by surprise, and they were all captured before they could resist. No one was injured. One pawn.
When the mission was successfully completed, Deputy Liu couldn't help making fun of the two of them. Wen had Qiao Ze and Wu had Shen Yu. One was in charge of spotting and the other was in charge of arresting. They cooperated tacitly. Zeneng is more focused on the plan itself.
The news of taking down the drug dealer's den was specially released the next morning.
Qiao Ze carried out this operation without telling Lu Miao.
This time, it was Shang Qi and Wu Manman's new drug manufacturing factory, which was their only source of supply to open up the drug market in the entertainment industry.
Lu Miao has to face them, he is both a newcomer and his own, any strangeness may arouse Wu Manman's suspicion.
No matter how good her acting skills are, she is no more real than being kept in the dark.
Joze didn't want her to be suspected at all.
Lurking in the world of drug dealers, as long as there is even the slightest possibility of being suspected, she will have a hard time. Various temptations continue, and she may even be forced to take drugs to prove her innocence.
So during breakfast, Lu Miao yelled at the news, and asked him which drug cartel this was, and whether he knew about it, but Qiao Ze just replied "I don't know" and brought the topic away.
Lu Miao didn't ask any further questions. Qiao Ze was at home the whole time last night, so she didn't think too much about it. She reckoned it was just some kind of small drug-making gang.
When going to work after dinner, Lu Miao didn't see Wu Manman, Su Ming and Shang Qi didn't come either, and it wasn't until near noon that they saw the three of them walking in with serious expressions.
Seeing that Wu Manman's face was different from before, Lu Miao couldn't help asking worriedly: "Sister Man, what happened?"
Wu Manman stared at her for a while, then shook her head: "It's okay."
Lu Miao couldn't ask any more questions, Su Ming also looked solemn after entering the office, and the whole office fell into a low pressure.
When he was about to get off work, Jie Dao called Lu Miao and wanted to ask her out for dinner.
When Lu Miao came to work yesterday morning, Director Xie called her, asked her about her situation, and apologized to her.
When Wu Manman went out in the afternoon, it seemed that Wu Manman had been dismissed from the director's appointment, and a cooperation was reached.
Last night Wu Manman happily called Lu Miao, and Lu Miao could barely hear from the phone that she and Director Xie had concluded a business deal.
It is reasonable to say that the business deal should be happy today, but her reaction seems to be clouded.
Lu Miao didn't know what was going on, but he knew that there was no need to deal with the guidance, so he rejected him because he was unwell.
She didn't know what Wu Manman had said to Xie Dao, and Jie Dao didn't make things difficult for her this time.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ming had already turned off his computer and was about to leave work. He still looked like he was in the morning, with a very serious expression on his face.
"Boss Su." Lu Miao couldn't help calling him back, "Did something happen? I think Sister Man and Boss Shang are not in a good mood today."
Su Ming looked back at her, shook his head, replied "it's all right", and left.
Shang Qi and Wu Manman were waiting for him outside, and the three left together.
According to the information Lu Miao has, Su Ming is currently Shang Qi's most important subordinate, and he always takes Su Ming with him wherever he goes. Even that time, Shang Qi sent someone to help Su Ming the next day.
From Lu Miao's recent observations, the two seem to be brothers and friends. Most of the time, Su Ming is more inclined to be Shang Qi's personal bodyguard, going in and out together. She has never seen Shang Qi go out. Without Su Ming.
The low air pressure in the office lasted for two days. On the third day, Wu Manman suddenly approached Lu Miao. During lunch, he began to insinuate her and Qiao Ze's recent situation.
Lu Miao couldn't figure out what she meant when she asked this question, so she replied "it's okay" conservatively.
"Then take a look, can you help me ask Mr. Qiao to have a meal together?" Wu Manman asked her hesitantly.
Lu Miao felt strange, but still nodded, and called Qiao Ze on the spot: "Mr. Qiao, Sister Man would like to invite you to dinner, do you have time here?"
Since Qiao Ze left Wu Manman on the phone that day, he deliberately left her alone for a few days, never meeting her appointments, not answering her phone calls, and not replying to her text messages.
Wu Manman and Jie Dao reached a cooperation, and she must supply them, but her drug manufacturing factory was destroyed, so it is impossible to find so many sources of supply in a short time, and the purity of drugs on the market cannot meet the purity she promised to Jie Dao. purity.
For a long time, the drug trafficking group behind Shang Qi and Wu Manman has followed the model of integrating production, transportation and sales, and the focus is still on traditional drugs such as heroin. The new drug market has not completely become the hegemony, and there are relatively few corresponding drug factories. Especially in the refining of such high-purity drugs, the requirements for technical personnel are also high.Inexplicably, he was taken to a stronghold. Wu Manman might not be able to find enough trustworthy people to refine this new type of high-purity drug in a short time. Therefore, we can only turn to Suo Fei, who has just established a cooperation.
Qiao Ze is the only person they can turn to for help, but because of Lu Miao's incident, Qiao Ze left Wu Manman alone for a few days.
Wu Manman couldn't contact Qiao Ze everywhere, so he could only ask Lu Miao for help.
Lu Miao was kept in the dark from Qiao Ze talking to Wu Manman to Wu Manman's drug manufacturing den. He didn't know what was going on, so he called Qiao Ze and told Wu Manman what Wu Manman meant. After conveying the message, Qiao Ze replied indifferently, "Tell her I'm not free" and then hung up the phone. Lu Miao looked at her phone in confusion, and then looked at Wu Manman blankly: "Joe Always said he wasn't available."
Wu Manman stared at her face and judged for a long time: "Didn't Mr. Qiao tell you anything?"
Lu Miao shook his head blankly: "What are you talking about?"
Wu Manman held the wine glass in his hand and pondered for a while, then stretched out his hand to Lu Miao: "Lend me your mobile phone, I'll call Mr. Qiao."
Lu Miao called Qiao Ze for her and handed her the phone.
Joze didn't answer this time.
Wu Manman hesitated for a long time, and finally looked at Lu Miao: "Miao Miao, we have encountered a little trouble this time, and we must ask Mr. Qiao to help. Can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Qiao?"
"What's the trouble?" Lu Miao really didn't know, she held the phone, a little strange, "Didn't you say that a cooperation has been reached? Is he busy with something and has no time to call you back?"
"No." Wu Manman saw that Lu Miao really didn't know, and it was not easy to explain too much to her.
Their cooperation with Suofei at the beginning was that Suofei was responsible for the supply, and they were responsible for the delivery and sales. Wu Manman also told Qiao Ze firmly that they did not have a production line.
Two days ago, when the factory was exposed by Duan's news, Qiao Ze made an appointment with Wu Manman and lost his temper again.
"Miss Wu, when you signed the agreement, didn't you tell me that you didn't have any goods, and we will be responsible for all the goods in the future, and you are responsible for the delivery and sales. Why is there a factory that was taken down by the police now?" ? Use my people to open the way for you, and all the money will go into your pockets in the end, play me for a fool, right?"
Wu Manman couldn't contact Qiao Ze for a few days after finishing talking. She and Shang Qi are really cornered now. The batch of goods they promised to explain is in the factory that was taken away by the police. Tomorrow night It's the delivery date, they can't come up with the goods, let alone lose the market, and it's hard to explain to the higher-ups.
Seeing that Lu Miao didn't know about these reasons, she didn't intend to talk to her more, and only urged her to make an appointment with Qiao Ze.
Lu Miao saw some clues from Wu Manman's anxiety. He held his mobile phone and looked a little embarrassed: "I'm not sure if I can persuade him. He was the one who went to the police station to protect me that night. I lost my temper a lot, and I haven't paid much attention to me these days, you see I called him just now...he also put down my phone coldly..."
"It's okay, you try first."
Lu Miao took the phone and called Qiao Ze five times in a row, but he didn't answer any of them.
Lu Miao's mood gradually sank down: "He won't answer." After thinking for a while, he said, "Let me try sending him a message. If he ignores me again, there's nothing I can do."
Qiao Ze finally replied to the message after half an hour and agreed to meet.
Wu Manman made an appointment at a golf course in the suburbs. She went there with Shang Qi and Su Ming. Qiao Ze arrived half an hour late. He played a round of golf with him, and only talked about business when he sat down for a rest. .Qiao Ze raised the price on the ground, and all the goods have increased by [-]% on the basis of the original price, which is completely a businessman's face.
Shang Qi and Wu Manman didn't agree, and they were so angry that they almost had a conflict.
Qiao Ze was also straightforward, spreading his hands together: "It's okay, the cooperation is over here." After talking, the man had got up, turned around and wanted to leave, and Wu Manman suppressed his temper and stopped Qiao Ze with a smile: "Mr. Qiao, it's easy to discuss if you have something to say. Isn't this the price we negotiated before? If you sit on the ground and raise the price like this, our future cooperation will not be safe."
Qiao Ze gave her a slight smile: "Miss Wu, we also discussed that I will supply the goods, what happened? If the police just took over your factory and the news broke out, how long are you going to play me for a fool? "
Shang Qi and Wu Manman have their own faults first, and they are also asking for help from others, so they are not good at speaking up.
"Just [-]%." Qiao Ze didn't back down at all, "Add another [-]%, or else, our cooperation will end here. We, Mr. Cai, agreed to cooperate with you, and we originally valued Mr. Huo's courage and ability to transport and sell goods. , everyone has money to earn together. In the end, you played tricks on me and jumped over us without saying a word, trying to eat the remaining half of the cake in the entertainment circle, and using my woman as bait. If this is the case, we will also do business When it comes to business on the field, if you can accept the price, then accept it; if you can’t accept it, it doesn’t matter, I still have some people in the entertainment industry, and my own people can still deliver goods. Cutting out the middlemen, our profit margins It's bigger."
Seeing that Qiao Ze wanted to leave, Wu Manman said with a smile on his face: "What is Mr. Qiao talking about? Don't we want to give Mr. Qiao a hand-holding gift? We will tell you when the cooperation with Director Jie is completed in the future." This is good news for you. As far as our small factory is concerned, how much goods can be produced is not enough to guide their needs, and we will not have to supply from you in the future."
Qiao Ze smiled slightly: "Miss Wu, anyone can say beautiful words, but you and I know the actual situation. The price is right there, and every penny is not bad."
Wu Manman looked back at Shang Qi hesitantly.
Shang Qi pondered for a while, then nodded.
Wu Manman looked at Qiao Ze and smiled apologetically: "Mr. Qiao, we are wrong this time. Whatever you say is what you say, but next time, I hope that Qiao will always consider everyone's long-term cooperation and stop sitting on the ground." The price has started."
Qiao Ze neither agreed nor refused, and looked a bit careless: "That depends on the sincerity of Mr. Shang and Ms. Wu."
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Tomorrow night at twelve o'clock, Malinpo, a small brick factory." He glanced at her again, "Miss Wu, the police have been investigating closely recently, and the rumors are also tight, everyone should take it easy , don’t be so petty. I’m going to take everyone into the ditch, and there won’t be a second Suo Fei to solve your urgent needs in a while.”
Putting down the words, the person turned and left.
The trading point that Qiao Ze arranged was an extremely barren hill.
If he wants to gain the absolute trust of Shang Qi and Wu Manman, the goods must be delivered to them according to their requirements, and there must be no accidents in the transaction process.
But correspondingly, this is drugs, and there are a lot of drugs. It is impossible for him to let this batch of drugs flow into the market, so the police can only choose to act when Shang Qifang and Xie Daofang trade.
Wu Manman didn't even tell him the time and place of the deal with Xie Dao, let alone let Lu Miao know.
As long as Lu Miao is completely unaware of their trading behavior, and does not inquire about or stay in the company, theoretically, the suspicion that Lu Miao is an insider can be ruled out.
They could suspect a few insiders, the drug transporters, and even the guidance, but they couldn't suspect Lu Miao.
Qiao Ze sent two face-to-face anti-drug policemen to deal with Shang Qifang. He and Shen Yu watched with binoculars on the slope not far away.
Shen Yu has already arranged everything to prevent any possible accidents.
At exactly twelve o'clock, a large van slowly drove over, and two young people jumped out of the vehicle, one tall and one short.
The short one is agile and seems to be the leader.
The tall one is thinner, and his movements are a little unhurried, not like the short one's urgency.
He had been standing by the car door since he got off the car, staring around, with his back to Qiao Ze and Shen Yu's direction.
Qiao Ze took out his mobile phone and secretly took pictures of the two of them.
After taking two shots in a row, the tall young man suddenly turned his head, and when his handsome face was reflected in the camera, Qiao Ze's hand paused.
Shen Yu was keenly aware of his subtle changes and turned to look at him.
Qiao Ze has already photographed the tall young man calmly.
Shen Yu saw that the two of them had already walked towards the person they arranged, so under the cover of the slope, he stood up carefully, approached their car step by step, and installed a small monitor on the base of the rearview mirror when the two were unaware.
The two quickly completed the inspection and drove away in the truck.
When Shen Yu returned to the slope, he found that Qiao Ze was staring at the direction of the truck thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" He asked, got up and finished work, ready to get in the car, and told others to keep an eye on the big truck.
"The situation doesn't seem very good." Qiao Ze whispered, and he stood up, "The tall one must be captured alive."
Shen Yu glanced at the direction where the big truck was leaving, nodded, and got on the truck to follow.
Qiao Ze was not involved in the arrest.
He sent Wu Manman a video of the completion of the transaction and the safe departure of her consignor, and then pressed the video call, still with that careless and somewhat arrogant look.
"Miss Wu, the goods have been delivered safely, when will the final payment be made?"
Wu Manman smiled: "What's the rush, Mr. Qiao? Waiting for us to receive the goods smoothly, are we still afraid of relying on you?"
Qiao Ze smiled and didn't pursue the debt. If Wu Manman really sent the money, and something happened to the returned goods, it would be easy to make people suspicious.
Wu Manman toasted him with a glass of wine: "It's rare to make a big deal, why doesn't Joe come to celebrate together?"
The corner of Qiao Ze's mouth ticked slightly: "Address."
Half an hour later, Qiao Ze had already appeared at the clubhouse that Wu Manman had booked.
Wu Manman was surprised: "Can't Miao Miao come here?"
Qiao Ze sat down opposite her: "Didn't she go with you this afternoon? Why did Miss Wu ask me?"
He picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine, gave her and Shang Qi a slight gesture, took a big sip, and sat on the back of the sofa chair relaxedly, then looked at Wu Manman: "Miss Wu, The goods are all given to you, but my woman still hasn't returned it?"
The smile on the corner of Wu Manman's mouth froze slightly, and then he smiled slowly: "What did Mr. Qiao say? I don't think Miao Miao has been too busy with work recently. She was shocked by the anti-pornography incident a few days ago. Let her friends go out to sea with her to relax."
With a smile on the corner of Qiao Ze's mouth, he turned his head to look at her and said nothing.
Lu Miao didn't come back in the afternoon, so he called him and said that the company held an employee birthday party and organized a cruise ship to go to sea together.
On the surface, it looks like Lu Miao is letting Lu Miao relax, but in fact, he just wants to use Lu Miao to restrain him and prevent any accidents during the transaction.
Wu Manman was still smiling, took out her mobile phone, and called Lu Miao: "Miao Miao, Mr. Qiao and I are at the Menwan Leisure Club. The activities of your department are almost over, do you want to come to Juju? "
Then she hung up the phone and looked at Qiao Ze with a smile: "Miao Miao said she will be there in about an hour."
Lu Miao came over in less than an hour, together with a few colleagues from the company, Su Ming was also there, it looked like he had just attended a staff birthday party.
When Lu Miao passed by Qiao Ze, he pulled him down and sat on his lap.Su Ming bypassed him and sat down beside Shang Qi.
Wu Manman turned his head to look at Su Ming: "How did you play tonight?"
"They're all very happy." Su Ming glanced at Lu Miao, "Especially Lu Miao, who spent the whole night playing mahjong with everyone."
Qiao Ze looked down at Lu Miao who was in his arms: "Can you still play mahjong?"
Lu Miao was a little embarrassed: "It's not very good, Mr. Su is a good teacher. He has been sitting next to me and taught me how to draw and play cards."
Wu Manman smiled: "Miaomiao, what you said... Mr. Qiao will be jealous."
Qiao Ze's expression was light: "After accompanying Mr. Xie and Mr. Su... Lu Miao, I'm not good enough for you?"
A sentence that was neither salty nor bland made the atmosphere in the box suddenly become more delicate.
Qiao Ze didn't seem to notice it, and looked at Su Ming with a half-smile: "Boss Su, Lu Miao is also my man, so let's do less about wearing a cuckold, okay?"
Su Ming smiled: "Mr. Qiao, what are you talking about. Everyone on the cruise ship is watching tonight. Dare I touch her one more hair?"
"Let's just say that the last time I was on a business trip, I was away for half a month. Ask her, have I touched her?" Su Ming looked up at the tall and thin man sitting next to Wu Manman, "Agao, in Guangzhou In those few days, you followed me every step of the way, tell Mr. Qiao, besides work, have I ever touched Lu Miao?"
The man named A Gao smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, our Mr. Su is not that kind of person, he can't do things like digging walls."
Qiao Ze just smiled and said nothing, his hands fell on Lu Miao's hair, and he stroked it once and for all.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Wu Manman poured wine and invited everyone to drink together.
Qiao Ze smiled, pushed Lu Miao away, picked up the wine expressionlessly, clinked glasses with everyone, and drank it all in one gulp.
Wu Manman saw Lu Miao sitting on the side, with embarrassment and loneliness in his expression, specially poured her a glass of wine and handed it to her.
Lu Miao laughed and reluctantly accepted it.
Wu Manman reckoned that it was the matter of accompanying her guide that night that made her in an awkward situation, and felt a little disgusted with Qiao Ze's appearance of declaring sovereignty and dislike, so she unconsciously said a few words for Lu Miao : "Mr. Qiao, speaking of it, it was also my problem that night. I took people there without notifying Miao Miao in advance. Miao Miao refused to comply at the time. Nothing really happened afterwards. Didn’t the police come? It really happened. Why can't she and Director Jie come out so quickly?"
"I don't know about the explanation." Qiao Ze smiled, "But she, I used a lot of connections to protect her back with real money. Did anything happen..."
He glanced at her: "Miss Wu, you are not there, how do you know?"
Wu Manman didn't dare to say anything more, neither did the others in the room.
Shang Qi smiled and smoothed things over: "Qiao Ze, what you said is wrong. Lu Miao has been with you for so many years. You can't trust us, you can't trust her?"
Qiao Ze smiled, but quickly suppressed his smile: "I really can't believe it."
He squinted at Lu Miao, and nodded his chin in Su Ming's direction: "Since you and Mr. Su are so close, and Mr. Su doesn't mind wearing second-hand shoes, I think it's better for you to follow him in the future."
"..." Lu Miao was stunned, with an expression of disbelief.
Wu Manman couldn't stand it anymore, Qiao Ze's words were a bit harsh, even she couldn't help it anymore, and pulled Lu Miao to her side.
"Mr. Qiao, you're done talking." As she was talking, her phone rang. She comforted Lu Miao a few words, then turned to answer the phone, her face slowly becoming serious.
Everyone in the room looked at her unconsciously.
Qiao Ze also smiled and looked at her steadily.
Wu Manman hung up the phone quickly, with a dignified face, but he managed to force a smile at Qiao Ze: "Mr. Qiao, our company has encountered something, we may have to go back to deal with it first, and I will invite you to dinner another day. "
Lu Miao stood up worriedly: "What happened?"
Wu Manman patted her on the shoulder to reassure her: "It's okay." Then he told her, "You and Mr. Qiao go back first, and talk to Mr. Qiao if you have anything to say."
Qiao Ze sat without moving, and looked at Wu Manman thoughtfully: "Miss Wu, what about our final payment?"
Wu Manman said: "The money will definitely be remitted to your account, so you and Mr. Cai can rest assured."
Qiao Ze nodded, without asking any further questions, he simply stood up, turned and walked towards the door.
Lu Miao got up and followed.
Qiao Ze turned his head and glanced at her: "Didn't I let you follow President Su?"
Embarrassment appeared on Lu Miao's face again, looking at Qiao Ze for a while, and Su Ming for a while, looking at a loss, almost crying.
Wu Manman couldn't let the two of them stay in such a stalemate, so he glanced at Su Ming.
Su Ming stood up and looked at Qiao Ze: "Mr. Qiao, believe it or not, Lu Miao and I are absolutely innocent. If you really dislike it, it's okay..." He glanced at Lu Miao, "Lu Miao, in the future You stay and follow me, and I will still make you delicious and spicy."
Qiao Ze chuckled, turned and left.
Lu Miao glanced at Su Ming hesitantly, bit her lip, and followed out.
Wu Manman shook his head and smiled: "Stupid."
Lu Miao followed Qiao Ze into the car.
After the car drove away from the clubhouse, Lu Miao couldn't help but turned to look at Qiao Ze: "What are you playing?"
Qiao Ze looked at her amusedly: "You don't even understand what I'm playing, so what are you doing?"
Lu Miao turned her head and simply ignored him, looking really annoyed.
Qiao Ze stretched out his arm towards her, and touched her head: "Are you angry?"
Lu Miao puffed her cheeks and didn't look at him: "I'm not angry, I'm thinking about Mr. Qiao's words."
Joze: "What?"
"Since Boss Su and I hit it off so well, Boss Su doesn't mind wearing second-hand shoes. In my opinion, I might as well follow him in the future." Lu Miao returned his words to him verbatim, and added, " I think Mr. Su is pretty good too."
Qiao Ze nodded: "It's pretty good." He glanced at her, "I asked you to establish a normal relationship with him, but what did you tell me? Chatting is also a normal relationship." He said what she said in Macau back then It was returned to her exactly.
Lu Miao was embarrassed all of a sudden, and didn't talk to him, and angrily didn't want to talk to him.After returning home, he wanted to go back to his room when he entered the house, but was pulled into his arms by Qiao Ze from behind, with his back pressed against his chest.
He bowed his head and kissed her: "Are you still angry?" The gentle voice was completely different from the teasing tone just now.
Lu Miao shrank her neck to avoid his kiss: "I won't be angry if you tell me what's going on."
Joze was amused by her childish words, pinched her cheek, and turned the person back to face him.
Lu Miao still puffed out her cheeks, and tugged at his cuff: "Hurry up and talk."
She looked really not angry, and she would not lose her temper with him. No matter how hurtful what he said just now, or how bad his attitude was, she simply believed that he was acting and didn't think much about it.
If he really had any second thoughts about her, she probably still wishful thinking that he was only for work.
Kind of silly.
Qiao Ze hugged her, rubbing his face against the top of her head, a little reluctant to let go.
Lu Miao also calmed down, and gently tugged at his cuff: "What's going on?"
"It's just a play." Qiao Ze hugged her and sat down on the sofa, "We have been visiting Shang Qi and Wu Manman's drug factory for the past two days. The call Wu Manman received just now may be The shipment they shipped at night was confiscated by the police."
"..." Lu Miao looked at him in surprise, she didn't know anything.
"What I want is your state where you don't know anything." Qiao Ze looked at her, "Lu Miao, no matter how good your acting skills are, there is always a possibility of revealing your secrets. As long as they stare into your eyes for more than 3 minutes, your Eyes and expressions cannot be 100% real. This matter is no small matter, and Wu Manman can't be fooled by you like before.
"There is basically no use for you in this matter, so it is completely meaningless for you to know, but it is easy to make you a target. You don't know anything. No matter what I say, do, or even scold, you are This kind of cloudy and unclear state is enough.
"I said that on purpose in the box at night, just to clear three messages to Shang Qi and Wu Manman through the dispute: First, you have been under their strict surveillance all night today, Su Ming can prove it, so no matter what You can’t even know what happened; second, I’m very concerned about Wu Manman arranging you to accompany him as a guide. , I will clean you up internally. In other words, you are very important to me, but this importance is only based on face, but not so important that I regard you as a human being.
"This is probably the current state of Shang Qi and Wu Manman, based on the combination of interests. This kind of treatment will make Wu Manman more or less concerned about my face in the future, and will not arrange those messy accompanying drinks for you. She feels a little bit of sympathy for you, so relax your vigilance."
Especially when he said those words, her confused and injured face easily fooled people.
Wu Manman has no humanity at all, but when he meets someone in a similar situation, he always has some empathy, and then he feels a little bit of pity.
People's vigilance is easily lost in this kind of pity and sympathy.
What Qiao Ze wants is for Wu Manman to relax his vigilance towards Lu Miao. The more Wu Manman leans toward her emotionally, the more inclined he is to trust her intellectually.
"What's the third message?" Lu Miao, who hadn't spoken yet, turned her head and asked him.
Qiao Ze didn't say clearly: "This has nothing to do with you. It's just to give them such an impression, in case they need it."
"It's a good thing for you to be a little confused once in a while. You're just being silly at this stage, and you're all about building a good relationship with Wu Manman." Qiao Ze raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "I'll go to the bureau first .you should rest earlier."
Lu Miao stood up subconsciously: "I will go too."
Qiao Ze sat her down: "Stay at home during this time, don't run around."
He didn't let her follow, and went to the bureau by himself.
Shen Yu just came out after interrogating the prisoner.
"How's the situation?" Joe asked.
Shen Yu: "I caught everyone, and basically brought back everyone, except for the one you specified to be captured alive."
Qiao Ze frowned: "What's the situation?"
"Run away, ate a bullet, let him run away." Shen Yu pressed the interrogation materials in his hand, "He is very familiar with the terrain over there, and his skills are not bad. He brought smoke bombs and fled in the chaos. gone."
He looked at Qiao Ze: "Why, do you know him?"
Qiao Ze shook his head slowly: "I'm not sure." Looking at Shen Yu, "What's your name?"
"They called him 'Brother Chao', and his identity and background are unknown. No one can tell where he is from or what his name is, and further investigation is needed."
Joze nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The police released a notice on the official Weibo that night about the arrest: Received reports from the masses that a certain director surnamed Jie had gathered crowds to take drugs in a certain community for many times. He was arrested and brought to justice during the drug trade. The amount of drugs involved is astonishing, and the police will conduct further investigations.
Turn the focus of the case to director Xie.
The next day, Qiao Ze took a newspaper and went to Qixun Venture Capital early in the morning, waiting for Shang Qi and Wu Manman in the reception room.
Shang Qi and Wu Manman finally appeared after half an hour, and Su Ming also came in together.
Seeing the people coming in, Qiao Ze smiled at them and fixed his eyes on Wu Manman's face: "Miss Wu, when will the final payment be settled?"
His attitude was ambiguous, Wu Manman couldn't figure out the meaning of his special trip here, she held the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Mr. Qiao, why are you free to come here today?"
"I'm afraid that if I don't come here again, I won't have a chance to collect the final payment." Qiao Ze threw the newspaper on the table, "Miss Wu, you hesitated to talk about it last night, isn't that the reason? I will ask you for the final payment immediately, or do you want to renege on the debt?"
He turned his head and glanced at the explanation in the newspaper: "Who are we looking for here? Don't you know that the police have already spotted it? If we follow this batch of goods and find us, we will all have to play."
He looked at her again: "Miss Wu, to be honest, are your people's mouths strict? If we dig deeper, should we continue this business?"
Shang Qi answered with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, when no one makes a mistake, how many people have been arrested inside and outside over the years, don't we still stand tall?"
Qiao Ze followed suit with a smile: "With Mr. Shang's words, our Chairman Cai can rest assured." The conversation changed, "Then Mr. Shang, when will you pay?"
Shang Qi was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Qiao, you see, this accident just happened, and the rumors are tight. The money is coming and going, so it is easy for the police to keep an eye on it. The final payment is estimated to be slow."
Qiao Ze pondered for a while, nodded, agreed, and stopped being aggressive.He came here today just to seize the opportunity, chatted in harmony for a while and left first.
His sense of hearing has not recovered, and his arguing with Shang Qi and Wu Manman is all based on lip reading. Once people leave that face-to-face environment, the surrounding world becomes silent, so when he got out of the elevator, he didn't notice the approaching footsteps After getting out of the elevator, he turned left and headed towards the gate. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a young woman at the corner.
She swayed, looking as if she was about to fall, he instinctively helped her, she looked up in thanks, her face froze instantly.
"Jiang Xing?" She cried out, her voice trembling.
Lu Miao also happened to go downstairs, and Huang Jiayin wanted to come over, so Wu Manman asked her to come down to pick him up.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw two people standing face to face, and the loss of control on Huang Jiayin's face.
But she couldn't see the look on Joze's face, he turned his back to her.
"Sister Jiayin." Lu Miao called her, walked towards her, and when she got to her side, she secretly glanced at Qiao Ze.
Joze's complexion was very pale.
In contrast, Huang Jiayin was much more excited. She held Qiao Ze's arm tightly and looked like she was about to cry: "You're not dead, you're not dead! Why did you keep it from me?"
Qiao Ze pursed his lips, and pulled her hand down, but she suddenly lost control, threw herself into Qiao Ze's arms, hugged him tightly, and cried, as if her heart was broken.
Lu Miao had never imagined such a situation, and Qiao Ze had never explained to her the past between him and Huang Jiayin. The scene in front of her was completely beyond her imagination. She didn't know how to deal with it, and she seemed a little helpless Taking measures, he subconsciously looked at Qiao Ze.
Qiao Ze froze and did not move, and returned her a comforting look, telling her to go back first.
Lu Miao nodded hesitantly, turned and left.
After walking a few steps, she unconsciously looked back at the two of them. The scene of Huang Jiayin holding Qiao Ze and crying made her a little uncomfortable, but right now she doesn't know anything about the situation, it's impossible for her to be like other girls, He stepped forward confidently and pulled the person away, and even slapped her.
Her job doesn't allow her any emotional displays.
She saw Qiao Ze pull Huang Jiayin away, she didn't hear what he said, only saw him and Huang Jiayin leaving together.
Her mood suddenly fell, and she met Wu Manman as soon as she returned to the office.
Wu Manman only saw her alone, and looked behind her in surprise: "Where's Jiayin?"
"She..." Lu Miao pointed behind her, "Leave."
Wu Manman: "Why did you leave suddenly? Didn't you say something happened?"
Lu Miao wanted to say that she didn't know, but thinking about the relationship between Huang Jiayin and Wu Manman, she would know that Qiao Ze might be the one Huang Jiayin was thinking about sooner or later, so she hesitated and said, "She...is with President Qiao. gone."
Wu Manman frowned: "Mr. Qiao?"
Lu Miao nodded and hummed: "I saw them leaving together."
Wu Manman looked a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions, just looked out of the window thoughtfully, then turned and left.
Lu Miao returned to his seat, but he was not in the mood, and all he wanted was to follow the two who left together.
Su Ming sat across from her, and just now listened to the conversation between her and Wu Manman. Seeing her sullen, she crossed her arms across the table and knocked on her table: "I'm worried that Mr. Qiao will be snatched away by Ms. Huang." ?”
Lu Miao didn't know what he meant by that, teasing was not like teasing, and comforting was not like comforting, so he just asked her this question very seriously.
She shook her head: "No."
Su Ming glanced at her, flipped through the documents in front of him casually: "Just because of the outburst you Mr. Qiao made at me last night, you Mr. Qiao don't seem like a person who is always in a hurry."
Lu Miao was still not sure whether he was probing or something else, so he remained silent and did not reply.
When she didn't speak, people looked a little depressed. Coupled with the injured look last night, Su Ming couldn't understand her thoughts for a while, shook his head, and didn't speak again.
Lu Miao managed to get off work with great difficulty, and when the time came, he picked up his bag and left. He wanted to call Qiao Ze on the way, but he was worried that he was for work and was afraid of disturbing him. He didn't dare to send text messages casually. I left home, but I didn't expect that there was no one at home, and Qiao Ze hadn't come back yet.
Lu Miao didn't call or send a message to Qiao Ze, and waited for him at home alone, and fell asleep while waiting.
Qiao Ze didn't come back until after nine o'clock. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lu Miao curled up on the sofa, covered only by a thin quilt.
He walked over and bent over to call her a few times.
Lu Miao opened her eyes in a daze, and her mind was still not clear, she muttered: "I'm back..." turned over and wanted to continue sleeping.
"Go back to the room and sleep, it's easy to catch cold here."
He gently persuaded her, bent over and picked her up, put her back on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover her and was about to get up when the corner of her clothes was gently grabbed.
He lowered his eyes to look at her. Her eyes, which were still drowsy a moment ago, had gradually cleared up now, and they were wide open, looking at him hesitantly.
"I'm full of sleep."
He rubbed her slightly messy hair with the palm of his hand: "Have you slept enough so soon?"
She nodded slightly, hesitated for a while, and met his eyes: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
She still cared more or less about the scene she saw in the afternoon.
Shang Qi and Wu Manman's drug factory involved work, he chose to hide it for her safety, she could understand him, but Huang Jiayin...
Thinking of Huang Jiayin holding him and crying hoarsely, she felt a little depressed.
He lowered his head slightly, looking into her eyes.
She avoided it in a little embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "You just left me and her in the afternoon. I feel uncomfortable. I don't know if you have anything with her. If you like her, we will break up." Even if you can never be together because of your position, as long as you like her in your heart, I don’t want to be with you anymore. I don’t like when you are holding me, but you are thinking of another person .”
"What nonsense?" He hooked her chin lightly, forcing her to look up at him.
"I don't like Huang Jiayin." He looked at her, saying every word seriously, "Never. Whether it's a matter of position or her character, I can't accept her. Of course, I don't deny it." , She did unilaterally fall in love with me, and she was very kind to me. She repeatedly rebelled against her father for me, unintentionally helped me a lot, and even... almost risked her own life to save me.
"She treats me just like Xu Jiayan treats you. She has wishful thinking and always does things that touch her, thinking that it is love and selflessness. Of course, if someone treats me so completely and selflessly, I will indeed be touched. , but more guilt and distress, especially the fact that she was injured. I can't take care of her for the rest of my life just because I am moved or guilty. This is irresponsible for each other's lives. My position does not allow me to do so. My heart doesn't like to do that either.
"Lu Miao, I've lived to this age, I've never seen anything, I can tell the difference between emotion and emotion.
"During this journey, there are many women who treat me well and don't want their lives for me. If I have to respond to each one, my women can probably form a few tables of mahjong now.
"Apart from laws and responsibilities, I have no right to ask others to do or not to do. Similarly, what others do or not to do cannot be a reason for me to compromise. I will be moved, feel guilty, and feel worthless for them. , but at the same time, I will also be troubled. I have never seduced or used any women, and I have no moral responsibility to them. Their selflessness may become a psychological burden on me. I cannot just because a person likes me, To bear the responsibility of her liking. The liking must be mutual."
His explanation made her a little embarrassed. Thinking of the little emotion just now, her cheeks burned hot again, she said "I'm sorry", she closed her eyes slightly and didn't dare to look at him, and it took a long time to hold back a word : "I didn't doubt you on purpose, but I saw that you have been out for so long and there is no news at all, which is enough to open several hourly rooms."
She almost muttered the second half of the sentence from her lips and teeth. Although her voice was small, Joze could still hear it.He was amused by her, his hands were a little itchy, and he pinched her cheek lightly: "There is something in the head.
"I wasn't with her in the afternoon. I just took her out, explained why I was still alive, and then they each left. For a woman who fell out with her father and didn't even want her life, she For this man, what else can't be done? Lu Miao, in that case, I don't want you to be her target. "
Lu Miao felt even more ashamed to see him, and her face was very hot.
He looked down at her: "Excuse me?"
Lu Miao pushed him awkwardly, avoiding his eyes and dared not look at him, and said "I'm sorry" again in a murmur.
Qiao Ze smiled and hugged her gently.
"Dai Miao, being jealous is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, I'm glad you gave me this reaction. You were half forced and half tricked by me. You've always given me the feeling of being ignorant and ignorant, which gives me a lot Uncertainty. I also hope that occasionally you can express your emotional appeal through your words, your emotions, instead of just waiting for me to guide you."
"I don't have it." She looked up at him, a little unconvinced, "I was the one who looked for you first that night."
As soon as the words fell into his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she became embarrassed again. She pushed him and turned over to rest, but he hugged her waist and pressed her forehead against hers.
"Not sad, huh?" He asked softly, looking into her eyes quietly, the doting in his eyes made her more embarrassed.
"I'm not really sad, it's just that I'm a little bored. At that time, she hugged you and cried, and you pushed me away and ran away with her. Later, I didn't even have a phone call or text message. Although I know you may be for work, But no matter how much I believe in you, I can't help but think wildly."
As she spoke, she looked up at him: "But I still say that, if you find that you like her, or feel ashamed of her, you go to her, and I won't stop you. What you should do I will still do my job well, and you don’t have to worry about me betraying you if you run away or something. Although I haven’t lived to your age, I can still distinguish between personal feelings and work.”
Qiao Ze was amused, and pinched her cheek: "What do you mean you won't stop her? You're willing to put it so lightly?"
Unexpectedly, she nodded seriously: "I'm thinking about others, what are you doing with it? Except that it can be used there, everything else is useless. It's not as good as Lubao's toys, at least they're clean..."
Qiao Ze lightly pinched her waist: "Could it be you who misunderstood?"
Lu Miao was ticklish, and he couldn't hold back when he pinched her. She was laughed at, and the depression in her heart had long since dissipated.
Instead, Qiao Ze withdrew his hand, and with one arm, he embraced her whole body in his arms, turned over and let her lie on his chest, with his chin resting lightly on the top of her head.
"Lu Miao, the problem you assumed will not exist at all. I have known Huang Jiayin since I was lurking next to Huang Chang the year before last, and she has been interested in me since then. If I really like her, I won't wait until this It’s time to realize it later.”
He looked down at her: "Not everyone is like you, dull and stupid, and you can't tell what liking is."
Lu Miao pushed him embarrassingly: "You are slow and stupid."
"Why aren't you dull and stupid?" Qiao Ze looked at her motionless, "If I hadn't forced you, wouldn't you have to shrink in your turtle shell for the rest of your life?"
"Then my brother forced me too...it was earlier than you." Lu Miao was not convinced, "I wasn't with him either."
These words pleased Qiao Ze, he bowed his head and kissed her forehead again, then hugged her into his arms and let her rest on his arms.
"Lu Miao, don't let me know later." He said, "If you tell me that you like Xu Jiayan, or other men, I won't be as light as you, casually Let you find him."
Lu Miao became interested, and looked up at him: "If there is an emergency, what do you want?"
Qiao Ze: "There is no chance."
Lu Miao: "I mean what if, what if there is?"
Joze: "No if."
Lu Miao: "..."
"Lu Miao." He looked at her seriously, "What won't happen to me, I don't want to happen to you either. Don't fall in love with others."
The word "love" made Lu Miao a little uncomfortable, but she still nodded uncomfortably: "I don't."
After some nonsense, Lu Miao had long forgotten what she was originally angry with. She was not a thoughtful person, and she didn't take it to heart when she said a few words. She was even a little childish, very independent, and trusted him unconditionally.
The person lay on his chest, fell asleep while chatting, curled up like a kitten, his slightly messy hair tickled his chest.
Qiao Ze looked down at her, not feeling sleepy.
He is not a person of lust, but every time he sees her, he wants to push her under him, bully her fiercely, and see her various postures under him, whether she is charming or charming or naive.It seemed that only when they were in harmony with each other, could he truly feel that they belonged to each other, no matter how the outside world was disturbing, there was only one of her left in his eyes.
There is only one her in this world.
Qiao Ze suddenly remembered meeting Huang Jiayin in the afternoon.
Her loss of control and her inability to let go were all within his expectations.He knew her obsession with him, as early as when he was still working under Huang Chang, she showed this liking unabashedly.It's just not what he wants, no matter how persistent she is, he still can't give her any response, and he can't let the task go halfway because of her personal feelings.The only thing he can guarantee is to make it clear and not to provoke.
But just like Lu Miao would provoke Lu Miao if he didn't provoke him, Lu Miao couldn't control his behavior, and likewise, he couldn't control Huang Jiayin's behavior either.
Her father suspected him, and she and his father almost broke up because of it.
In order to save Gao Yuan, he broke into the room with the explosive device alone, and she secretly followed him in, and even blocked him when the danger happened, and she almost crippled a pair of legs.
Whether it was due to his subjective will or not, it was a fact that she saved him. From this point of view, he owed her.But any compensation from him, except for emotional feedback, is not what she wants, but what she wants is something he can't afford and doesn't want to give.
The only thing he could do was to secretly ask an authoritative doctor for her to heal her leg.
When talking about this issue with her in the afternoon, Huang Jiayin became very excited. In her heart, she had already lost her leg because of him. How could he be indifferent to her?
Her obsession will make her feel unwilling, and even become hostile to any woman who gets him.
He had seen her ruthlessness before, back in Huang's villa, when she was not sure that he was Jiang Xing, she had already tested Lu Miao with a Tibetan mastiff. He saw her eyes and expression under the binoculars. Insignificant to death.
Now that she is sure that he is Jiang Xing, if she finds that his thoughts are on Lu Miao, it is impossible for her not to deal with Lu Miao.
Qiao Ze looked down at Lu Miao who was still sleeping soundly. She was still sleeping soundly. Probably only when they returned to this small space, where he and she were, could they let go of all their vigilance and defenses and have a good sleep. Sleep.
This road is always on the edge of a knife, and it is extremely dangerous, and then there is another Huang Jiayin who can't love her, saying that she is not worried about her is a lie.
All along, he has always avoided meeting Huang Jiayin head-on, just to buy more time for him and Lu Miao.
One reason is to buy enough time to officially establish a cooperative relationship with Shang Qi and Wu Manman, so that he can return to their sight as a drug dealer. This is the only reason he can explain his "fake death". He hated Huang Chang's credulous villain, set a trap to kill Gao Yuan, changed his name and surname after escaping from the dead, secretly developed his own drug trafficking network, devoured Huang Chang's drug market, and waited for revenge - this is what he gave Huang Jiayin. But hide the reason from her.
Another reason why he avoided meeting Huang Jiayin head-on was that he was worried that Lu Miao would become her target.Worried that Huang Jiayin would pass on all the unwillingness to Lu Miao.Lu Miao's responsibilities and tasks often make it impossible for her to let go or run away like them.But in this circle, it is impossible not to touch him, he can only delay as long as possible, until Lu Miao completely wins Wu Manman's trust, and until she has enough ability to handle all emergencies on her own.
He didn't expect to run into Huang Jiayin, but it happened at the juncture when Shangqi Group had accidents one after another.
All night, Qiao Ze was thinking about what might happen, but no matter what he had planned, he was not by Lu Miao's side after all, so he could only tell her to be more careful.
Even without Qiao Ze's entrustment, Lu Miao would naturally be wary of Huang Jiayin.
When she arrived at the company early in the morning, she met Huang Jiayin who came to look for Wu Manman.
Seeing her, Huang Jiayin still greeted her politely as usual, with a kind smile on her face, and even approached her intimately, holding her arm, and asked her if she was used to working here, and if there was anything wrong with her Yes, if you have, tell Wu Manman well, wait, after a warm exchange of greetings, even Wu Manman came over and smiled angrily, saying that Huang Jiayin's thoughts were all on Lu Miao, and she was going to be jealous .
Several people laughed and made a fuss, and Huang Jiayin followed Wu Manman to her office.
As soon as the office door was closed, Huang Jiayin smiled.
"What's the situation with Lu Miao and Qiao Ze now?" She asked with a pale face.
Wu Manman roughly talked about what happened in the past few days, and Qiao Ze's attitude towards Lu Miao in the box that day.
Huang Jiayin looked thoughtful: "Qiao Ze should not be that kind of person, he has always been honest with women. He is such a completely unfeminine person, how could he keep a little girl?"
"Men always have that kind of need." Although Wu Manman knew that Huang Jiayin and Qiao Ze went out yesterday afternoon, she didn't know that Qiao Ze was the man she had been thinking about for a year, and looked at her in confusion, "Jiayin, Do you know Mr. Joe?"
Huang Jiayin nodded, didn't talk much, and changed the topic: "I heard that you have been terminated for two consecutive deals recently, even the factory?"
As soon as Wu Manman was mentioned, he got a headache, and accidents happened one after another, not to mention losing the market, and it was difficult to explain to the higher-ups.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Huang Jiayin looked at her, "Even my father doesn't know the location of your factory, where did the police get the news? And your transaction, how could it be so coincidental, the explanation was that the police Who are you targeting?"
"We have also considered this issue and suspected that there is an insider, but everyone who should be investigated has been investigated, and there is nothing suspicious." Wu Manman's furrowed eyebrows have not been relaxed since Huang Jiayin came in, "Explain this matter It may also be the follow-up effect of Li Junhao's incident, after all, they are in the same circle. Li Junhao is in it, and he must explain it."
Huang Jiayin nodded ponderingly: "The others are not suspected, and Lu Miao is not suspected either?"
"It's been fine before, but accidents have happened one after another since she joined the company..." Huang Jiayin casually leaned on the desk, turned her head to look at Wu Manman, "Isn't this suspicious?"
"..." Wu Manman showed confusion on his face, "It's impossible, she has no access to any core information, the factory and the transaction have not been mentioned in front of her, and she was under our surveillance on the day of the accident. Every day Except for going to and from get off work, she has no contact with other people in the company, how can she get internal information?"
"She can't get it..." Huang Jiayin paused for a moment, "Her man can always get it, right?"
"..." Wu Manman quickly realized, "You mean Qiao Ze?"
Huang Jiayin didn't nod or shake his head, but kept turning his head to look at her: "Qiao Ze's real name is Jiang Xing."
Wu Manman opened his mouth, somewhat astonished.
She is no stranger to the word "Jiang Xing", it is the person around Huang Chang, the man Huang Jiayin misses.Although I hadn't seen it before, Jiang Xing was well-known among them, and he solved many problems for Huang Chang, but later on I don't know why something happened.There are internal rumors that he was an undercover police officer, and there are also rumors that he was shot and killed because he wanted to take Huang Chang's position. There are different opinions and no conclusion.
"At the beginning Jiang Xing happened because of Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan may be a policeman. Does this prove that...Jiang Xing may also be a policeman? If Jiang Xing is also a policeman, will everything be explained?"
Wu Manman's complexion gradually became serious, carefully recalling the things that happened during the period of cooperation with Qiao Ze, there was nothing suspicious about his behavior, but the accidents happened one after another, which really made people have to be suspicious.
"Is there any evidence?" After all, he has cooperated with Qiao Ze, and he doesn't look like a kind person, who can be easily fooled. Before he was sure, Wu Manman still didn't dare to draw conclusions easily.
After two accidents in a row, she and Shang Qi are already in a state of desperation, and Qiao Ze is pressing every step of the way. If there is an accidental injury, their cooperation with Suo Fei must be completely suspended.She didn't dare to take the risk without evidence.
Huang Jiayin spread his hands: "No. Some things don't have to be proved by evidence, you will know if you try it?"
Wu Manman looked at her: "How to try?"
Huang Jiayin: "Lu Miao belongs to him. Does she know if he is a policeman?"
Wu Manman has reservations. Judging from Qiao Ze's attitude towards Lu Miao in the past few days, it is normal for Lu Miao to not know about it.
Huang Jiayin's words were somewhat provocative.
Wu Manman approached Huang Jiayin more or less with a purpose. Their goal was Huang Chang. She was not sure whether Huang Jiayin was aware of her purpose and deliberately provoked their relationship with Suo Fei, or just wanted to borrow her Suppress Lu Miao with his hands.
Unable to understand Huang Jiayin's thoughts, Wu Manman stood still and looked at her with a little confusion: "Jiayin, don't you love Jiang Xing very much? Now you finally found out that he is still alive, shouldn't you be happy Is it? What do you mean, like wanting to put him to death?"
"Who said I wanted to put him to death?" Huang Jiayin glanced at her, "Jiang Xing has always been suspected of being a policeman. Especially my dad, who hates him because of my injury, will definitely do everything possible Destroy him. He will run into my dad sooner or later, and he will definitely reveal his secrets when he meets. My dad will tell you that he is a policeman. Can you not suspect him? Why don't you let me warn you first? Just try it and you will know, so that you can rest assured in future cooperation, and I will also dispel my doubts about him, a win-win result, why not do it?"
Wu Manman: "What if he is really a policeman?"
Huang Jiayin was silent for a while, then looked at her: "It's up to you."
Wu Manman was also silent for a moment: "How to try?"
Huang Jiayin waved at her, and whispered something in her ear when she came over.
Wu Manman's complexion gradually became serious, and he was a little worried.
Huang Jiayin didn't force her either: "I'm just giving you an idea, whether you want to adopt it or not is up to you." She glanced at her phone, "Okay, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first. After thinking about it, let me Telephone."
After Huang Jiayin left, Wu Manman went to Shang Qi's office and conveyed Huang Jiayin's words to Shang Qi. Although she was responsible for all the matters, Shang Qi was the one who made the decision.
Shang Qi was somewhat concerned about his relationship with Suo Fei, and the successive accidents really made him feel uneasy. It would be great to take this opportunity to find out about Qiao Ze's background.But correspondingly, he was also worried about backlash, fearing that his misjudgment would anger Qiao Ze instead.
"Let's observe first." After pondering for a while, Shang Qi finally only gave Wu Manman these few words.
Wu Manman understood and didn't dare to act privately. When facing Lu Miao, he still did what he should, and even became more intimate. He specially called Lu Miao to join him in the internal meeting a few days later, and Qiao Ze was also there. .
The meeting was held at Shang Qi's home, and the discussion was about a drug deal, or the entertainment industry market, and the big investors who were in charge of organizing the game in the circles that got online through the solution.
When talking about the specific transaction information, Lu Miao was paid out.
The meeting lasted until nearly one o'clock in the evening.
On the way back, Lu Miao couldn't help asking what was going on with Qiao Ze.
"Using Wu Manman's words, it's because the news has been tight recently and something happened just now. Everyone should take it easy and supply a small amount first. They still have a small amount of stock inside, so they can use it to explore the way first, and make sure there is no problem. Then fly away from Suofei." Qiao Ze turned the steering wheel unhurriedly, "The reason sounds good."
Lu Miao: "Really?"
Qiao Ze glanced at the rearview mirror: "Someone is following."
Lu Miao: "..."
Her complexion became serious, and she restrained herself from looking back. She just glanced in the rearview mirror without any trace. From the traffic behind her, it was not easy to judge whether the car behind was following her or happened to be on the same road.
"Black, tail number 034." Qiao Ze reminded, "Fasten your seat belt."
Lu Miao had already put on his seat belt when he got in the car, and now he subconsciously tightened it up.
"Sit tight."
After exhorting in a low voice, Qiao Ze stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the speed of the car almost reached the end in an instant. He was speeding up, but his driving skills were not as good as Qiao Ze's. There were no cars on the road in the middle of the night, which brought great convenience to Qiao Ze. After a few sharp turns, the car behind him disappeared without a trace.
When he got home, Qiao Ze threw the car keys on the coffee table, sat down on the sofa, pulled Lu Miao down on his lap, bowed his head and kissed her, and then looked into her eyes slowly. Slowly said: "Lu Miao, you may have to move out first during this time, can you do it alone?"
Lu Miao looked at him in surprise, nodded: "Yes."
But she was still a little confused: "Can I know why? Who is following us tonight?"
"It may be Huang Jiayin's person, or it may be Shang Qi or Wu Manman's person." He gently brushed away the bangs that slid down her forehead with the palm of his hand, "But no matter who sent it, there is no one in essence. What's the difference. The purpose is the same, someone is following you.
"During this time, I don't want you to get too close to me. You can be as alienated as you can be, and you don't care as much as you don't care. I will find you a house and I will give you a car from Shenqiao. Get one. In the future, you will live alone and commute to get off work alone, will that work?"
Lu Miao nodded, a little worried: "But your ears are not good yet, are you alright by yourself?"
"I'm fine, no one will do anything to me at this stage." He lowered his head and touched her forehead, "You must take care of yourself when I'm not here, and don't let anything happen to you. You take Lu Bao away, with him here, I'm more at ease."
"I don't want Lu Bao." Lu Miao was worried about him, "My ears are fine. It's good that Lu Bao is with you."
"My ears are already recovering, so there's no need for Lu Bao to accompany you." He stroked her forehead with his fingertips, "Be obedient, let Lu Bao follow you, it is highly vigilant."
"But..." Lu Miao frowned, still not at ease.
Qiao Ze kissed her: "This is an order."
He used his status to pressure her, and she couldn't compete with him anymore. Although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to agree.
"During this time, no matter what you hear or receive, you are not allowed to bypass me and report to the police. All messages must pass through my filtering first." Qiao Ze solemnly warned, "Like tonight, it is probably just A trap. So whatever you heard tonight, forget about it, do what you do or do what you do.
"In recent days, the enemy must move, but I won't move; the enemy won't move, but I still won't move. It's time to go to work, and it's time to relax. You must win Wu Manman to your side as soon as possible. She Although people are selfish, they still have a bit of sympathy for you, understand?"
Lu Miao nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that she understood, Qiao Ze wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but it was still heavy.After all, it was the first time that she was completely out of his sight. Although he trusted her on-the-spot reaction ability and believed that she could deal with any accidents properly, maybe he really cared about it, and he was not as relieved as before.
Lu Miao saw his worry and shook his hand: "I'll be fine. Anyway, I was honed by you in this circle for so long, you can't trust me, you can't trust yourself ah?"
Qiao Ze said nothing, but stretched out his arms to wrap her in his arms.
He didn't want him to be a bargaining chip for them to coerce her.
