Having said that, she didn’t give me a chance to speak, opened the door and went out.
I sat on the edge of the bed to calm down, wishing I could pick up Chu Xiaoxiao right now.
But I didn’t have too long to grieve before Lao Gan called me in a panic.
“Something’s happened, where are you now?” Lao Gan asked.
“I’m in Lutong, what’s wrong, take your time.”
Lao Gan’s voice was shaking, “It’s not safe to talk on the phone, come out, we’ll talk face to face.”
Even the night Old Gump and I were being chased by Liu Rong, he had never been this panicked, what had happened to make Old Gump so nervous, it must not be a trivial matter.
“Okay, I’ll be right over. You find a trustworthy place to wait for me.”
“I’ll send you the address on WeChat.”
After I hung up, Lao Gan sent me the address of a stall called Chai Huo Yuan Dong, which was quite close to my place, but not to Lao Gan’s. Maybe this place was more secluded.
“Mr. Zhang, are you going out? Didn’t you lose your driver’s licence?”
Qing Qing suddenly said to me when I was about to go out.
I slapped my head, almost forgetting about it.
Qingqing suddenly glared at me and told me not to say anything, then shouted at the top of her lungs, “Mr. Zhang, let me see you off.”
I thought to myself, “What the hell is she up to?
Qing Qing took my arm and headed outside, and just then, Lin Fang’s voice came from behind me.
“Zhang Chao, do you want to go out? You don’t have a driving licence, do you? I’ll give you a ride.”
Before I could say anything, Qingqing said, “What are you doing running around during work hours? And you’re dressed like this, aren’t you disgracing yourself by accompanying Mr. Zhang out? ”
Qingqing didn’t wait for Lin Fang’s answer and pulled me away. Lin Fang took a few steps after me, but after looking at her clothes, she really didn’t look like that and couldn’t go out, so she had to give up.
“What are you doing? I don’t know if I’m a man or a woman.” I said with tears of laughter.
Green let go of me in disgust and pressed the lift towards the bottom.
“You’ll have to thank me today and give me a raise.” As soon as the lift doors closed, Qing reached out at me.
“You’re asking me for this much money for sending me out for a trip, huh?” I laughed, “Then go back, I’ll take a taxi!”
“Do you have a conscience?” Suddenly, Qing Qing fished out a plastic bag wrapped in something from her bag and pressed it into my arms, “Look at it yourself.”
“What’s this.” I opened the plastic package and found that inside was a torn driving licence, and when I looked at the photo, it was my license, “Why is my license torn? Why do you have it here?”
I’ve never lost anything before, so it’s not like I didn’t suspect something when I lost my license. We as special forces are strictly trained in such private habits and usually don’t lose things. But I didn’t expect my driver’s licence to be shredded.
Qingqing said, “You asked me to find your driver’s licence for you that day and I never found it. I didn’t find it, but I didn’t think you’d be a man who would lose his license. So I pulled up the CCTV from that day and found this.”
I probably got the picture and pursed my lips as I asked, “Who did this?”
“Guess, you’ll never guess.”
I took a deep breath, the last bit of illusion in my heart shattered, and asked, “Was it Lin Fang?”
Qing Qing covered her mouth, “How did you guess?”
Of course I wouldn’t tell her that I had wondered why Lin Fang had appeared so promptly that day when I was stopped by the traffic police at the entrance. And the entrance of Lu Tong would not have been another traffic police, that traffic police and so good to talk, normal caught by the traffic police driving without a license, absolutely have to go to the traffic police brigade to walk.
The first thing you need to do is to guess, but there’s a difference between hearing a positive answer and hearing it for yourself, and I was frozen for a while.
“Can I see the surveillance now?”
“I knew you wouldn’t believe me, it’s being directed to my phone.”
“Let’s go to the car first.”
Qingqing and I went to the car park and when we got into the car, Qingqing turned up the air conditioning before handing me the phone, the video was edited but nothing had been tampered with as it clearly captured Lin Fang secretly taking my driving licence and tearing it to shreds on the spot.
My heart was as cold as death. I really couldn’t expect any half-truths from this woman’s mouth.
“She definitely did that for a purpose! She just wanted to take the opportunity to get close to you.” Qing Qing said, “You men can’t see it, but I can see it clearly, she just wants to take this opportunity to seduce you. The last two days Xiaoxiao has gone somewhere, so she’s just taking advantage of the situation. You need to hurry up and make some moves. ……”
I thought about it and uploaded that video to my own phone, then sat and fumed for a while until Qingqing nudged me.
“Don’t tell anyone about this for now.”
“What?! Qing Qing’s eyes glazed over. You don’t really still like Lin Fang, do you? I must tell Chu Xiaoxiao, you slag!”
I cried and laughed, “Calm down, Lin Fang will be leaving the city soon, her wedding and funeral will have nothing to do with me, forget about it, let’s stop here, don’t tell anyone, okay? Give me face.”
Qing Qing saw that I didn’t look like I was joking and was a bit shaken, but she still couldn’t swallow her anger.
I had to smile and say, “A promotion and a raise for you.”
Qingqing rolled her eyes, “You want to buy me off? Am I that kind of person?”
“Then will you give me this chance to corrupt you with money?”
Qing Qing smiled and patted her chest, “You guessed right, I really am that kind of person.”
I didn’t trust Qingqing enough, so I asked her to park the car about five hundred metres from the wood-fired wontons and threw her a card, telling her to buy whatever she liked and I would contact her in an hour, but not to say anything about coming here today.
Qing Qing made a motion of zipping her hand over her mouth, then gave me an OK, took the card from me and disappeared in a flash.
I arrived at Chai Huo Yuan Yuan and was just looking for a place to sit down when the owner came up and asked, “Aiya, why are you free to come today, as usual?”
I thought to myself, “What’s going on? This is the first time I’ve been here, I’m not sure if the boss is mistaken, or if I’m looking for the wrong place.
I took out my mobile phone, opened a dialogue box with Lao Gan on WeChat and asked the boss, “Is this the right place?”
Lao Gan smiled mysteriously and made a gesture of invitation for me to go upstairs and then shouted, “One VIP, no onions for prawns.”
I was confused when he winked at me and whispered, “Old Gan is waiting for you upstairs, Plum Blossom Spring.”
I went up to the first floor and was completely dumbfounded by the decor. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was a high cla*s Chinese restaurant, this could not be some kind of rip-off shop.
