Chapter 63 The First Clue

Young man, who could it be?

Wen Zhile started with the people she knew, thinking back to the young men she knew in her previous life, and analyzing who was most likely to do something bad to her.

But she had known too many young men in her previous life, and she had never been close friends with them, so she didn't understand their temperaments. When she suddenly thought about it, she had no idea at all. The more she analyzed, the more confused she became.

This really can't be blamed on her. In her previous life, she focused on her studies, and the only people she interacted with were her childhood friends. Outsiders were just nodding acquaintances, and she didn't interact much with girls, let alone the opposite sex. How could she have the mind to care about that?

"You are a forgetful person. We met last year." Jiang Yuan was asked back and felt annoyed, so he said in a bad tone.

Jiang Zhao felt something was wrong after hearing this: "Jiang Yuan, come and sit down."

If Zhou Jihuai is unhappy, he won't give face to anyone. Why bother provoking him?

Although Jiang's father and mother seemed to be chatting with the elderly, they were actually staring at them all the time.

Seeing that their conversation had become awkward, Jiang's father started talking to Zhou Jihuai with a smile, "I got a few bottles of good wine a while ago. You can bring some back to your dad to try."

Zhou Jihuai's expression didn't soften at all, he was polite but didn't smile: "Uncle Jiang, what a coincidence, my dad just stopped drinking last month, you can keep this wine for yourself."

Father Jiang laughed: "Old Zhou is not going to have a good time."

"Jiang Yuan, come and meet the elders."

Jiang Yuan walked away from his seat.

Jiang Zhao immediately said, "Ji Huai, my parents were inconsiderate. I apologize to you on their behalf."

As soon as Jiang Yuan entered the door, Zhou Jihuai knew what the Jiang family meant.

What he hates most in his life is the use of marriage to exchange benefits. If the target doesn't target him, it's fine, but if it does, he's on his own.

"Okay." The man responded indifferently.

Jiang Zhao was feeling anxious. He glanced at Wen Zhile and put a bottle of juice in front of her: "Xiao Wen, this is a well-known juice brand in Shanghai. Try it."

"Thank you." Wen Zhile picked up the juice absentmindedly.

"Feeling uncomfortable?" Zhou Jihuai noticed that she was distracted, raised his hand and briefly touched the back of her hand for a second, and asked softly, "Are you cold?"

Wen Zhile stopped analyzing and nodded.

It's a good thing to have clues, but a clue is just a drop in the bucket. It alone can't help us find the murderer, so we can't rush this matter.

She paused, smiled and said, "The air conditioner is a little low."

Zhou Jihuai immediately went to find the waiter.

When he came back, he was carrying a thin blanket, and a waiter was following him, holding the remote control and pressing a few buttons on the air conditioner.

Zhou Jihuai put the blanket on her legs, took the glass bottle of juice from her hand and pried open the cap.

Jiang Yuan sat down on Jiang Zhao's left: "Brother, who is she?"

"The niece of Commander Shu of the Jingzhou Northern Military Region."

Jiang Yuan looked at Wen Zhile's profile obscurely: "What is her relationship with Zhou Jihuai? Why is Zhou Jihuai so nice to her?"

Jiang Zhao shook his head: "I don't know."

"Eat your meal quietly tonight and don't talk to Ji Huai."

Jiang Yuan frowned: "Didn't you ask me to go on a blind date?"

"What kind of dating? My dad is so passionate. I'm upset. Don't make things worse for me."

"Humph, it's like who wants to come." Jiang Yuan stood up to get a bottle of juice, and came back and said in a low voice, "Uncle wants to be transferred to Jingzhou, think of other ways quickly, don't try to be the commander's in-law, it's impossible."

Jiang Zhaohe didn't realize that the situation had come to a standstill.

Their best choice is the Zhou family. If the Zhou family is not suitable, they will take a step back and marry Commander Shu.

Commander Shu has a son and a niece. As for the niece... Jiang Zhao's eyes swept across Zhou Jihuai and Wen Zhile without leaving a trace.

"You really don't want to marry a policeman?"

"I don't want to." Jiang Yuan answered without hesitation.

Jiang Zhao sighed, poured a glass of wine, and went to apologize to Zhou Jihuai.

He was really afraid that what happened today would anger him and affect his father's career advancement.

His father was also confused! He was used to Zhou Jihuai calling him "Uncle Jiang" politely, but he actually took it seriously? He underestimated him too much.

Any child in the Zhou family's circle who is rude to outsiders is actually difficult to serve and has high standards.

When he is polite, he is really polite and you can't find any fault with him. When he is ruthless, he is really ruthless and he only picks on the sore spots.

The Jiang family’s current “pain point” is promotion.

Jiang Zhaocheng apologized earnestly, silently praying in his heart that his father's arrangement did not touch Zhou Jihuai's bottom line. He did not ask him for help now, but only asked him not to interfere.

The military and political circles in Jingzhou are like two tightly intertwined spider webs, and the young people are controlling the movement of each spider thread.

Compared with the interest-based social interactions of the older generation, the younger generation in the compound who have not yet been fully assimilated have another set of rules for doing things.

Zhou Jihuai is located in the central area of ​​the spider web, and just one word can make his father stand still.

-

The welcoming banquet ended peacefully in the evening. Before leaving, Jiang Zhao found Zhou Jihuai and apologized again.

Zhou Jihuai said calmly, "I won't make an exception for you."

Jiang Zhaosong breathed a sigh of relief, the matter was over.

After seeing off the four Jiang family members, Qu Jinghong and Ye Qin went back to their room to rest. Wen Zhile stood at the door and looked at Zhou Jihuai, saying softly, "Brother, I want to watch the fireworks show."

Zhou Jihuai saw that she had more to say and waited for her to finish.

"But I don't dare to go alone." Wen Zhile was a little embarrassed, his eyes full of anticipation.

Zhou Jihuai's eyes flickered, but he didn't meet her gaze. He turned and walked towards the elevator: "Come on, I'll take you there."

Zhou Jihuai is so good~

Wen Zhile quickly followed him: "Brother, I'll buy you something delicious later!"

In her previous life, she had come to Shanghai to watch a fireworks show, which was as lively as the temple fair in Jingzhou, with many street vendors selling snacks.

The two walked out of the hotel. There were a few private cars parked outside the door. Wen Zhile scanned the area with the help of the light and said, "Let's take a taxi."

It's dark now, the buses have stopped running, and it might be hard to find a taxi.

"Someone is here to pick us up." Zhou Jihuai replied in a low voice, then looked towards an eye-catching Mercedes-Benz not far away.

Wen Zhile followed his gaze and saw the fair-skinned young man who was standing by the car running over enthusiastically: "Ji Huai, I heard from Jiang Zhao that you came to Huzhou, so I came to see you."

Zhou Jihuai hummed: "I came here to accompany my family."

"What is this?" Tang Lin looked at Wen Zhile with surprise in his eyes.

"My friend."

Wen Zhile and Zhou Jihuai have been friends for so long that she understands the meaning behind every smile of his. His smile at this moment represents an average relationship with the visitor.

Come to think of it, his circle is in Jingzhou, and his childhood friends are all developing in Jingzhou, so why would they come to Shanghai?

"Ji Huai's friends are my friends." Tang Lin smiled at Wen Zhile, "Hello, my name is Tang Lin."

Wen Zhile said his name.

Tang Lin continued: "Ji Huai, my disco has just opened, would you mind going over to play for a while?"

"What's the address?"

Seeing that there was a chance, Tang Lin quickly told the address.

Zhou Jihuai thought about the route and said, "I'm going to watch the fireworks, it's not on my way."

Tang Lin smiled and said, "Let's go another day. It's hard to get a taxi at night. How about this, I'll let you drive my car. If you don't mind, you can drive my car before you return to Beijing."

He put the car key into Zhou Jihuai's hand.

Wen Zhile has really broadened his horizons.

Even after they drove away, Tang Lin stood at the hotel entrance and watched them go.

The little girl turned around and said, "Brother, what did Tang Lin ask you for? You are so humble."

Zhou Jihuai answered slowly, "He wants to open a disco in Jingzhou."

"Is this also for you?"

Zhou Jihuai laughed when he heard this: "Yeah, you asked me to do this as well."

He and Tang Lin knew each other through Jiang Zhao. Tang Lin estimated that he was the only one who knew him from Jingzhou, otherwise he would not have been able to find him.

He had no involvement in Jingzhou's business world and originally didn't want to get involved.

But Tang Lin showed up at a good time, so I'll give him a clue.

"Is he short of money? I want to invest." Wen Zhile suddenly had an idea.

Zhou Jihuai raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

The park was packed with people, and the Mercedes braked at the gate, so it couldn't go any further.

Zhou Jihuai unbuckled his seat belt. He saw Wen Zhile running out of the car impatiently, so he also got out faster: "This is not Jingzhou, don't run around."

Wen Zhile said “hmm hmm” while running to the stall at the entrance to the park and bought two green rice dumplings.

Qingtuan is wrapped in oil-proof and waterproof wax paper and is emerald green in color.

Zhou Jihuai went over helplessly. Wen Zhile paid the bill and turned around to hold up the qingtuan: "Brother, try it."

Zhou Jihuai didn't take it. He just lowered his head and took a bite, only biting off half of it.

Like the couple checking out the bill next to them.

Wen Zhile was startled for a moment, then came back to his senses and asked, "Do you like it?"

"I like it." Zhou Jihuai only likes sweet snacks of this kind.

Wen Zhile smiled happily as his recommendation was recognized.

She smelled the aroma of tofu along the breeze, and what was left in her hand was the red bean paste filling.

Her favorite.

The stall owner’s cooking skills are excellent. The light aroma of mugwort and the sweet aroma of red bean paste are combined together, making it soft, chewy and memorable.

The two of them walked inside. Zhou Jihuai observed the crowd around them, then held her back to prevent the little girl from being bumped into.

After Wen Zhile finished eating, he handed Zhou Jihuai the half-eaten Qingtuan he had left over: "Brother, you still have half. I'll go buy other snacks after you finish."

Zhou Jihuai still didn't take it and lowered his head to eat it.

The men and women who looked at them from time to time felt it was a pity.

How come such a beautiful and handsome guy already has a partner?

“Give me the trash.”

Wen Zhile rolled up the wax paper and put it into a transparent plastic bag: "Brother, you are so kind. My sister-in-law will be blessed in the future."

Zhou Jihuai smiled without saying anything and picked up the garbage in his hand.

"Let's go there!"

Wen Zhile grabbed the hem of his shirt and walked to the left.

No matter how crowded the park is, vendors can always find a place to set up their stalls.

The fireworks are in the preparation stage. At this stage, there will be delicious food in crowded places.

Wen Zhile chose to walk in crowded places and did not feel crowded at all along the way.

When she could no longer eat or carry anything else, she found the best place to watch the fireworks based on her memories of her past life.

There are already quite a few smart people here, and Wen Zhile luckily didn't get a seat.

Fortunately, Zhou Jihuai had long legs and was able to stand there first.

The young man who failed to rob him wanted to curse him immediately, but when he inadvertently saw the bulge on his lower back, he immediately shut up.

Who is this guy? He has a gun!

Wen Zhile was afraid that the young man would curse her, so she stood up and looked back.

Then the young woman next to him glared at him——
