I was beyond shocked, Baldy had never told me any of this!
The sound of the key turning to the door came from outside and Xing’er whispered at me, “Don’t say anything to my brother about what you just said, my brother hates to hear that from me. Brother Zhang Chao, thank you for listening to my complaints.”
Just as her words fell, outside the door, Ah Yu walked in carrying a roast chicken, along with a number of other dishes.
These two siblings, who obviously don’t usually have a good time, were drooling over the roast chicken.
After I had a couple of bites, I was too sleepy to eat and fell straight to sleep on the sofa.
Only those who have been hungry know what it is like to be so hungry that you have no dignity.
Zhao Zichen will definitely not treat Baldy poorly, and Baldy will definitely not treat the siblings poorly either, it looks like it’s too much money for Apricot to be sick.
I thought, when all this was over, I could give Baldie another sum of money, just as if I were pulling his strings.
I fell asleep thinking about this, and slept until 3pm when Baldy called me to wake me up.
“How did it go?” I asked Baldy apprehensively.
“Can’t try.” Baldy replied, “The Dons didn’t ask me about you.”
What the hell is this? I can’t believe Zhao Zichen didn’t ask.
Baldy said, “You get Ah Yu to change your clothes and come straight to the night to incense, there’s a situation.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Baldy’s words left me in a cloud of confusion, what exactly was Zhao Zichen’s attitude?
I was now very confused, but one thing I could be very sure of was that I would definitely be recognised even if I changed my clothes and went to the nightclub.
It might still be possible to change one’s clothes and go to Xia Gehuai. That’s all I can do now, if Zhao Zichen really betrayed me, then I would be isolated.
Ah Yu was operating on his computer as if he was working on a piece of software.
I told him that Baldy had asked me to find him to change my clothes. Ayu stood up at once, and I thought he was going to change a set of clothes for me, but I didn’t expect him to go to Xing’er’s room and say at the door, “Xing’er, come out and change Zhang Chao’s face.
Change a face?
Seeing my dumbfounded look, Ah Yu laughed and said, “This is a stance of the Colour Gate, and my sister is the heir of the Colour Gate.”
Xing’er sat me down, stared at my face for a moment, nodded with a smile and turned her duck-tongue hat backwards, a move that was surprisingly identical to the one Baldy usually did.
“Brother Zhang Chao, this face of yours is perfect for disguise. But today the materials are limited, so only the simplest disguise is possible. You have to be careful not to get wet, otherwise the makeup will melt away.”
She brought over a gla*s bowl containing something in the shape of a greenish poultice, which she was stirring with a chopstick.
She told me to close my eyes and then rubbed the stuff onto my face, it was a bit cold and I didn’t know exactly what she was going to do, was she going to put a bunch of paste on my face?
I closed my eyes and let her do it for about a quarter of an hour, then she took a makeup brush and stroked it for a while before letting me open my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, there was a mirror in front of me, and when I saw myself in it, I was dumbfounded.
“Who is this?”
The person in the mirror was at least ten years older than me and had become a completely different person, not at all like the original me.
Apricot smiled and said, “It can be whoever you want it to be.”
I really couldn’t believe that a disguise change could look so much alike, and it was completely unnoticeable that I had something painted on my face.
Apricot said, “Make sure you remember, these make-ups must not touch water, as soon as they do, they will melt away.”
“Don’t worry, Xing’er, Ayu, thank you so much for today.”
When I left, I quietly left the money as my payment to them.
It was certain that Baldy was trustworthy, and he had asked me to come to Zhao Zichen in disguise; the problem was that he wouldn’t recognise what I looked like after the disguise, so he would never set out to trap me.
I took a taxi, first found a mall to change into a new outfit, then finished catching up with Night Coming, which was the first time I had ever gone to a bathing centre during the day.
There weren’t many people at the Night Laika now, and the precautions weren’t very strict, so I wiggled the security guard and went up the hallway.
I didn’t know where Baldy was, but the group of them must have gone to a place with very tight security. The best privacy at the Nightclub was above the eighth floor, which was full of johns, so I guessed Zhang Mei’s office was on the ninth or tenth floor.
I wanted to go to the ninth floor, but when I was on the eighth floor, I caught a glimpse of Baldy and Zhao Zichen, sitting in the common area on the eighth floor, the two of them chatting.
The public area on the eighth floor of the Nightclub was usually empty, and the people who came to this place would not be there to gossip, at most someone would occasionally walk out for a drink.
I pretended to be out to pour the wine to hear what these two were actually talking about, but at this time Shi Sheng walked out from the back.
“Young Master Zhao, long wait. Let me introduce to you, this is our Captain Xia.”
Without turning around, I glanced up through the reflective gla*s in front of me, and sure enough, it was Xia Gehuai who had followed Shi Sheng out.
Zhao Zichen smiled and said, “Boss Shi doesn’t know anything, soon our Captain Xia will become Chief Xia.”
Shi Sheng was surprised and said, “What? Older brother, you’re going to the police station? How good is it to be the captain of the criminal investigation brigade, but to go to a gra*sroots police station, that won’t be devolved?”
Zhao Zichen laughed loudly, “This is not devolution, this is obviously a regular operation before promotion. When he goes to the gra*sroots for a few years, I’m afraid Captain Xia will be the youngest captain in Tong City, so he’s young and talented.”
“Hey, that’s not true, it’s all because of Qi’s love.” Xia Gehuai had a shameless smile on his face, and said in a feigned modesty.
Shi Sheng said, “I also have to thank old brother Zhao for this matter, he did away with Zhang Chao, otherwise, you and I would still be suffering from it.”
Xia Ge Huai cried out in shock, “What?!”
Both Shi Sheng and Zhao Zichen were a little alarmed, and Zhao Zichen asked first, “What, old brother Xia didn’t want Zhang Chao to die?”
Xia Ge Huai had done everything that I had explained to him in advance, and I was pretty sure that he had definitely not betrayed me, so when Shi Sheng said that, it made Xia Ge Huai confused on the spot.
If I were him, I was also confused.
Because if I died, his identity would be completely unable to jump backwards, completely blacked out.
If he didn’t want to be a black cop, would Qi Bureau give him a good time once he jumped backwards?
Xia Gehuai reacted completely subconsciously, it was just a pity that he was too young and could not yet control his over-excited emotions, which were exposed all at once.
My heart was in my throat, these people were vicious, if they knew that Xia Ge Huai was a loyalist pretending to be a traitor, Xia Ge Huai would definitely die a very tragic death.
“I just didn’t think that someone as wild as him would die.”
Zhao Zichen said with a smile, “Even if a person is wild, as long as they are human, they may die. Captain Xia, Old Brother Shi and I came to you today to ask if Zhang Chao had said anything to you before he died?”
Xia Gehuai was still completely immersed in shock and had not yet come back to his senses at Zhao Zichen’s words.
In fact, Zhao Zichen was testing Xia Ge Huai to see if he was willing to reveal his secret or not. If he was not willing, Xia Ge Huai would be in danger.
