The aroma of hot pot wafted through the restaurant, and I started to feel hungry just by smelling it.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, I walked out with a spoon, wanting to tell Lu Zhiyuan the surprise, but unexpectedly saw him and Zhuo Hai enter at the same time.

I laughed and joked, "Hey, did you two make an appointment? What a coincidence! Could it be that you two went out together and did something behind my back?"

Lu Zhiyuan and Zhuo Hai looked at each other. Zhuo Hai didn't say anything, and his face looked a little solemn.

Just as I was wondering, Lu Zhiyuan walked towards me with a smile and explained, "Officer Zhuo and I met at the gate. Maybe this is our tacit understanding."

I didn't think much about it and couldn't wait to greet them: "I went to the supermarket to buy vegetables and cooked hot pot today. Come over and eat quickly!"

The three of us sat at the table. Lu Zhiyuan looked at the huge table of dishes and praised me in surprise: "You prepared so many dishes! Our Xiao Shan is really amazing!"

"That's right!" I said smugly without any hesitation. "Although I can't help with things outside, I can still contribute by taking care of your food and drink."

I handed the prepared dipping sauce to them, looked at the empty cups, and suddenly realized that something was missing.

"I remember there's some wine in the cellar here. I'll go get it."

Jin Shu seemed to like drinking very much, so she simply built a wine cellar in her mansion, which contained all kinds of wine.

Considering that we were having hot pot tonight, I took out a bottle of white wine from the wine cellar, cooled it in an ice bucket, and poured it into everyone's glasses.

"I just picked it up randomly, you guys try it!"

I don't know much about wine, so I only picked it based on some superficial knowledge.

Lu Zhiyuan took a sip and smacked his lips in satisfaction: "Not bad, very sweet taste."

I also took a sip and it was indeed delicious.

It seems that Jin Shu has a good taste in wine. Every bottle of wine in her wine cellar should be good.

With hot pot and wine, it is really comfortable.

These days, they have been busy with my affairs. It is rare that they can relax at this moment, which is also the purpose of my preparation.

I thought that a middle-aged man like Zhuo Hai should be able to drink a lot, but Zhuo Hai was not as good as I imagined. He just took a sip.

In front of you is a steaming hot pot and at hand is a refreshing and sweet wine.

But Zhuo Hai seemed absent-minded and was not even active in eating.

Seeing him like this, I asked with concern, "Zhuo Hai, what's wrong with you? Are you too stressed and tired recently because of Lucas's matter?"

It is not an easy task to persuade Interpol to talk to Lucas. They also have their own procedures to follow.

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at Zhuo Hai, sighed softly, and said, "Officer Zhuo has been running around looking for many people on your case recently, and even asked the leaders of Interpol to intervene, but Lucas still refuses to give in and is still unwilling to lend us the equipment."

Zhuo Hai was absent-minded because he felt that things had not been done, and he was also worried about my legs.

I don't know how to comfort him, and anything I say would seem hypocritical.

But I know Zhuo Hai has tried his best.

Lu Zhiyuan also put down the chopsticks in his hand at this time, and his eyes were filled with heaviness.

"Uncle Mingyuan introduced me to many technical experts, and everyone helped to investigate, but so far, there has been no new progress."
