"It's a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding. X23US. Updates the fastest." Zhu Xiaojun looked at Wen Ziqing with a strange look.
This was the first time Zhu Xiaojun had seen a man as protective of his wife as Wen Ziqing. In modern society, isn't it normal for gay men and women to shake hands? Even if they put their arm around each other's shoulders, at least they're wearing clothes!
"Hmph!" Wen Ziqing snorted coldly, put his arm around Zhou Yuanyuan's shoulders, turned around, and used his body to separate Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhu Xiaojun.
Zhu Xiaojun was stunned by Wen Ziqing's move. Zhu Xiaojun swore that he wanted to grab Zhou Yuanyuan just now not to take advantage of her, but because he was so frightened that he forgot that Yuanyuan was actually a little girl!
Zhou Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smiled. However, she had no objection to Wen Ziqing's actions. She disliked physical contact, and even if Wen Ziqing hadn't stopped Zhu Xiaojun, she would have avoided him.
Zhu Xiaojun immediately corrected himself and instead pulled Wen Ziqing's arm, asking anxiously, "Brother Ziqing, can you explain to me what happened in the movie just now? Was it true or false?"
At that moment, Zhu Xiaojun felt an unprecedented sense of conflict. He didn't know whether he wanted Wen Ziqing to say "true" or "false." In his 24 years of life, this was the first time he had witnessed such a bizarre thing. Could there really be a pendant that could "eat people"? But this pendant had been in Zhu Xiaojun's pocket for four or five hours before he gave it to Liu Meiling!
Zhu Xiaojun's previous impression of Zhou Yuanyuan was limited to the words "General Zhou's great-granddaughter." Seeing her today, he realized that appearances are not the only true.
When Cao kept telling Zhu Xiaojun that Zhou Yuanyuan might be able to solve the mystery of Liu Meiling's disappearance, Zhu Xiaojun was a bit skeptical. Thinking he'd just give it a try, Zhu Xiaojun called Zhou Yuanyuan. To his surprise, Zhou Yuanyuan actually had a surprise for him.
After Liu Meiling disappeared, Zhu Xiaojun immediately requested an inspection of the surveillance cameras in the Qingxin Bar. Unfortunately, the management at the Qingxin Bar wasn't stupid; they definitely wouldn't have installed surveillance cameras in a place like the restroom. Otherwise, who would dare enter the Qingxin Bar?
At this moment, Zhu Xiaojun's mind was confused. It seemed that he was thinking about a lot of things, but also seemed that he was thinking about nothing.
"Brother Xiaojun, whether it's true or not, you can find out if you go in and see if there's a hole in the wall where the pendant went through it." Wen Ziqing patted Zhu Xiaojun on the shoulder and offered a suggestion. Wen Ziqing understood Zhu Xiaojun's inner struggle. More than ten years ago, when Wen Ziqing first saw Zhou Yuanyuan's fingers suddenly emit high-temperature flames, his surprise was no less than Zhu Xiaojun's.
"Yes, yes, yes, let me take a look, let me take a look." Zhu Xiaojun quickly took out the key from his pocket, opened the bathroom door and rushed in.
After Liu Meiling's accident, Zhu Xiaojun insisted that the restroom be locked, and he kept the key. Aside from the police coming over to inspect the scene, no one else had come in during the past few days.
Zhu Xiaojun raised his head and leaned against the outer wall of the back street. A small hole the size of a little finger suddenly appeared in front of him.
What surprised Zhu Xiaojun even more was that the tiny hole was large at one end and small at the other, shaped like a teardrop. It was about the same size as the pendant Zhu Xiaojun had given Liu Meiling. Even a drill wouldn't have been able to create this shape. Zhu Xiaojun had good eyesight, and from where he stood, the teardrop-shaped hole was perfectly smooth, as if it had been there originally. No wonder the police had overlooked the hole during their inspection.
It's true. Normally, Liu Meiling couldn't possibly fit through that tiny hole in the wall. But what had Zhu Xiaojun witnessed was a "supernatural" version of Liu Meiling's disappearance! This really left Zhu Xiaojun at a loss for words.
His family heirloom, a seemingly ordinary necklace, had become the "culprit" in Liu Meiling's disappearance. Zhu Xiaojun felt deeply uneasy. But strangely, after seeing Liu Meiling's two different faces in public and behind her back, Zhu Xiaojun's guilt inexplicably faded.
Zhu Xiaojun stared blankly at the small hole for half a minute before running out. He nodded to Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan and said, "There really is a small hole. It seems Meiling has really been eaten by the pendant spirit."
In Zhu Xiaojun's opinion, a pendant that eats people is nothing but a spirit.
After Zhu Xiaojun said this, there was a hint of sadness in his expression, as if he was relieved.
Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at Zhu Xiaojun and said nothing.
After discovering Liu Meiling's true identity, Zhu Xiaojun would no longer be as obsessed with her as before. Men, when not impulsive, still have plenty of brains. Surely, Zhu Xiaojun wouldn't be so heartbroken by Liu Meiling's disappearance by now, right?
Wen Ziqing was speechless. Was he telling Zhu Xiaojun that Yuanyuan's "time travel" was a powerful technique? Or was he telling Zhu Xiaojun that a man of integrity should always have a wife? Neither seemed entirely appropriate.
Zhu Xiaojun rubbed his face with his hands, finally clearing himself up a bit. He hadn't slept for two days and two nights because of Liu Meiling's disappearance, relying solely on his determination to find her. Now that he'd relaxed, Zhu Xiaojun felt incredibly tired and sleepy.
"Sister Yuanyuan, what should we do next?" Zhu Xiaojun shook his head, clearing his mind a little before looking eagerly at Zhou Yuanyuan and asking. He didn't dare ask another question: The pendant flew away, could Liu Meiling still find it?
"Next, let's go home and sleep first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow." Zhou Yuanyuan waved her hand, took Wen Ziqing's arm in a heroic manner, and walked in front.
Zhou Yuanyuan really wanted to go home. When they left, General Zhou had told her to go back as soon as possible. Zhou Yuanyuan was afraid that if she went back too late, General Zhou would not be able to sleep well.
Now that they knew how Liu Meiling disappeared, no matter how anxious they were, it was useless. To find the pendant's whereabouts, they still needed the Chaos Pearl to follow the pendant's aura. Zhou Yuanyuan, the Chaos Pearl's owner, only had to wait for her spirit treasure to return and report the results.
Wen Ziqing glanced at Zhou Yuanyuan and felt that Zhou Yuanyuan had put away the barrier with a wave of her hand.
Without the barrier, the noise in the bar poured into the ears of Zhou Yuanyuan and the others.
Zhu Xiaojun was stunned for a moment, but this time he didn't say anything. He just followed Wen Ziqing out. What a master! Who doesn't have a few hidden tricks? Soundproofing, for example, should be pretty common, right?
