Because she was overthinking before going to bed, Li Xi woke up all night long and didn't get up until noon the next day. She was still tired when she woke up and felt very unhappy.
Thinking about meeting that so-called private detective later, he sighed again. After sighing for a long time, he washed up and went downstairs.
When I got downstairs, I met the servants, and they were all very polite. There wasn't any of those "You're the new wife, and the boss doesn't like you, so we're not in a good mood" kind of nasty servants like in novels.
At least on the surface, it was a formal employment relationship—you pay, I work—without much emotional connection. This situation might be because the villain's home wasn't the "main battlefield," so there weren't any additional settings, or it might simply be Luo Jingxuan's rules. Whatever the reason, it benefited Li Xi.
After a delicious brunch, Li Xi packed up and prepared to go out. As soon as she stepped out of the villa, she was in trouble.
How to get there!
No one was driving. Li Xi knew how to drive, but the original owner didn't seem to have a license. Damn.
After a long period of anger, Li Xi finally took out her phone and prepared to contact Assistant Jiang. She looked at her phone and saw that Assistant Jiang had just sent a message a few minutes ago.
Good morning, Ms. Li. I was busy with work yesterday and forgot to reply. I've asked my boss, and I'll give you the private investigator's contact information.
【Friends’ Business Card】
Li Xi raised her eyebrows. Assistant Jiang was really smart.
【receive】
[Assistant Jiang, I'm going out. Does the villa have a car? Is there anyone who can drive?]
After the message was sent, Li Xi retreated to the living room, plopped down on the sofa, and asked the servants to cut some fruit for her. Since she had to wait anyway, she might as well sit on the sofa and eat some fruit while she waited.
After finishing a large plate of fruit, Assistant Jiang's message finally arrived.
[There are idle vehicles in the villa. Please ask the housekeeper, Uncle Wu, and he will help arrange it.]
[Received. Thank you, Assistant Jiang.]
【Love Launch.jpg】
Let's not even talk about how Assistant Jiang felt after receiving the emoji. Li Xi, holding the chicken feather, immediately went to Uncle Wu to arrange a trip. Uncle Wu was quite approachable, asking no questions. He simply took the keys and arranged for someone to drive the car.
Li Xi sighed again, Boss Luo's people are all very sensible.
Li Xi's original plan was to leave early and arrive at the agreed location early to observe and evacuate in time if they encountered any dangerous people. However, due to this delay, by the time they arrived at the agreed location, the other party had already arrived.
Li Xi spent a long time checking the location of the coffee shop before finally confirming that the young man sitting by the window, with gray hair and a leather jacket and pants, was the private detective she had arranged to meet.
Yes, it's called Mian Lao Si. Li Xi was also curious about why he was called that. Of course, it must be a nickname. But since we're not familiar with each other yet, it's not easy to ask. I will definitely ask when we get to know each other better.
With trepidation and curiosity, Li Xi sat opposite the gray-haired young man.
"Mian Lao Si?"
"Pretty waste?"
"Uh. It's me." Li Xi smiled awkwardly. She didn't know what had gotten into her yesterday, but she changed her ID to "Pretty Waste." It fit her character perfectly, but she'd better change it later. It was a bit embarrassing to be called that.
“Why did you choose such an ID?”
Why are you asking! I didn't even ask you why you're called Mian Lao Si! Li Xi didn't know how many things she had complained about since she came here. It was really true. "Because you think you're a pretty loser?" Thinking about exposing her own shortcomings, she always felt a little upset. "Then why are you called Mian Lao Si?"
"My last name is Mian, and I'm the fourth child in my family."
…
"I don't believe you." Li Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes. Who was this guy trying to fool?
"Oh, it's just a code name, it doesn't mean anything."
"Oh." Li Xi continued to roll her eyes.
"Let's stop talking about this and get down to business. What do you want me to investigate? A mistress? Theft? Or a spy?"
This little detective is quite well-mannered. He doesn't even mind when I roll my eyes at him.
"I."
"What?"
"I said I wanted to check myself. My family structure, my relationships, my life experiences. I wanted all the information I could find about me."
"..." Even the calm and composed Lao Si didn't know how to respond for a moment. "You don't know your own information?"
"I forgot." Li Xi had made up an excuse long before coming here. "I had an accident some time ago and damaged my brain. I don't remember anything from before. But I can't let others know that I don't remember, so I need to investigate myself. Do you understand?"
"To be honest, I don't really understand, but." Mian Lao Si looked at the girl across from him who lied without blinking, and felt a little amused. He just smiled slightly and said, "As long as the money is in place, we can investigate anything."
"How much?" Although he knew that his reasons were untenable, private detective was a gray industry after all, and he thought the other party would not ask any questions, so Mian Lao Si agreed immediately, and Li Xi was not surprised at all.
"You need to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan first, and then set the price after checking. However, it is not difficult to check personal information. 200,000 or 300,000 yuan is about the same."
"make a deal!"
After saying that, Li Xi quickly transferred the money to Mian Lao Si. Anyway, I am not stupid now, but I have a lot of money.
After finishing the serious business, Li Xi had nothing to do next, and was curious about how private detectives worked, so she pulled Mian Lao Si to chat.
"You just said it's not difficult to check personal information. How do you usually do it? Where do you start?"
Mian Lao Si looked at Li Xi's eyes full of curiosity and suddenly wanted to tease her, so he said in a serious tone, "How can we investigate? This is an industry secret. If you come to snoop, you will be suspected of being a spy." He finished with a devilish smile. Of course, it was a devilish smile that he thought was his own.
