"Mr. Yu, what do you mean?" Lin Xi sat in the bathtub and took off her hair. She leaned back and soaked it, letting her dark hair spread softly in the warm water like water plants. "You want to support me?"

 Yu Xiucheng was noncommittal, A pair of dark eyes were extremely deep: "That's okay."

 That's okay? Lin Xi sat up holding the edge of the bathtub with her hands, her completely wet hair clinging to her scalp and cheeks, and the steaming water vapor caused ripples in her eyes.

 "What else is that?"

 Yu Xiucheng met Lin Xi's eyes. Without answering, he raised his hand and began to unbutton the metal cufflinks of his shirt.

 "Pack up your things and call me tomorrow."

 He took off his clothes and walked under the shower head to turn on the switch. The water flowed rapidly down the muscle lines on his back, like a short but tempting shot in a men's shower gel commercial. Lin Xi Da calmed his eyes for a while, then slowly stood up with his hands on the edge of the bathtub.

 "You're too domineering..." The words of complaint in a coquettish tone were even more touching than the words of coquettishness: "You decided such a big matter unilaterally?"

 Yu Xiucheng turned around and cast a indifferent look: "Not willing?"

 "That's not..." Lin Xi had already stretched out her arms to hug his strong waist from behind: "But my job at Yesan still has a contract for more than half a year..."

 The woman's Her hands roamed freely around his lower abdomen, using her fingertips to outline the well-defined muscle lines of Yu Xiucheng's abdomen.

 "I want to resign as soon as you give me the Hundred Cup Tower tonight. Who doesn't know that I was hired by you? It seems a bit unethical to resign after climbing a high branch... Can you let me wait until the contract expires before I leave?" "

 Yu Xiucheng effortlessly grabbed her igniting hand and squeezed it into his hand. He looked at her nails that were evenly covered with red hair. After a while, he let out a deep sigh.

 Yu Xiucheng seemed a little different tonight, surprisingly easy to talk to. Lin Xi's thirst for knowledge was fully aroused, but she knew that tonight was enough to push the envelope.

 Late at night, at Lin Xi's request, Yu Xiucheng sent her back to his current residence. After getting off the car, Lin Xi watched the driver turn around and drive away, then took out his cell phone from his bag and called Luo Quan back.

 This phone call was made two hours ago. At that time, she was sitting on Yu Xiucheng's lap and flirting with him. Fortunately, her phone was always silent, so quiet that it didn't even vibrate.

 "Hello, Lin Xi?"

 Fortunately, Luo Quan on the other end didn't seem to be asleep, and his voice was still sober.

 "I'm sorry I just had something to do and didn't receive your call." She walked into the elevator. "Is there any progress over there?"

 "A little bit, just now... not just now, we were in Dongdaemun two days ago. A river drifter was found in the suburbs," Luo Quan said as he opened the door and walked out of the office. He went straight in and said, "Shoot him dead, right between the eyebrows."

 "This body had been dead for two months when it was found. It's almost rotten, and the facial reconstruction results from the technical side came out this afternoon.

 "A Chinese-shaped face, a flat nose, and thick lips."

 The familiar description made Lin Xi's spine tighten more and more.

 Luo Quan walked to the door, his voice getting colder and colder: "Do you think he is the man with the gun you met at the C4 bar?"

 "What do you need me to do?"

 The conversation continued here. Lin Xi already fully understood the purpose of Luo Quan's call.

 "Two of my men went to the C4 bar yesterday, but they didn't get much." Luo Quan paused: "So I want to go by myself tomorrow... Can you go with me? After all, you are in this field. He has always been better than me."

 "Okay, yes," Lin Xi agreed readily, then changed the subject: "I heard that you were promoted to team leader recently, congratulations."

 "What's so congratulatory? The team was promoted to a detachment, and our team just asked me to take over for a while."

 Luo Quan got into his black pickup truck and closed the door, and understood the meaning behind Lin Xi's congratulations.

 "Let's meet and talk about your matter tomorrow."

 "Okay."

 After Lin Xi hung up the phone, she entered the house, threw her bag at the entrance, walked into the living room barefoot without turning on the light, and then threw herself Into the sofa.

 After standing up for a while, Lin Xi recalled Luo Quan's words and felt her body gradually gain strength. She got up from the sofa and went back to the entrance to find her mobile phone in her bag, and clicked on WeChat to find Yu Xiucheng.

 West: I'm home. Thank you for seeing me off. I'm really happy tonight. See you tomorrow.

 This is called consolidating customer relationships, and it is a habit taught to Lin Xi by Ye Tan. In the past, every time Yu Xiucheng came over, Lin Xi would send him this sentence after he left, but he never replied.

 Lin Xi didn't care about any of this. After finishing the process, he locked the screen and prepared to take off her makeup and go to bed. However, before she even took two steps out, her phone in her bag vibrated.

 Cheng: Yeah.

 He actually came back.

 But maybe there were too many unusual things tonight, so Lin Xi didn't feel surprised at all. She casually nodded with a kiss emoji and said good night, then shut down her phone for the whole day.

 On the other side, Yu Xiucheng looked at the exaggerated animated expressions on his phone and quietly locked the screen. On the 4K screen in front of him, which almost occupied the entire wall, was a girl wearing a snow-white performance costume sitting in front of a grand piano. The image of being completely immersed in your own playing.

 The movement of her fingers on the keys was so fast that even the cameras at the time could not perfectly capture it. The camera would occasionally insert a long shot to capture the entire splendid venue and the judges sitting at the front who occasionally exchanged glances and nodded frequently.

 Obviously, this is a piano competition.

 Yu Xiucheng has watched the video of this competition countless times over the years. Even the time of the judging footage inserted into the video can be accurate to the second.

 When he closed his eyes, he could picture the girl gracefully bowing to the audience on stage and then trotting and jumping backstage, smiling easily and lively in front of the camera that was going to interview her after the game.

 "I've finally finished the competition. I want to go back to China right away and have hotpot with my parents for ten meals!"

 She was really excited. She was so excited that she spoke Chinese directly in front of a bunch of foreign media, and after saying it, she felt like she was being The little bird released from the birdcage rushed to the preparation room with excitement on its face, and then was called back by the dumbfounding foreign media reporter to ask for its name. This time it was changed to English:

 "Oh, oh yes, hello everyone, my name is Lin Xi, I hope you can If you like my playing, bye!"
