"At this hour, you can just borrow the hotel's phone to call back to the brigade." Uncle Luo said as he drove the car out of the city.
"Will it affect your work?" Li Tingyun added.
"No, I was supposed to go to the city on a business trip for two days. If you come tomorrow, I will go to the city." Uncle Luo felt that Li Tingyun came at the right time. If he came tomorrow, he would not be able to meet him. If such an important thing stayed outside for one more day, it would delay their solving the case by one day.
"Then I am quite lucky." Li Tingyun nodded.
"You take a nap, we'll be there soon." Uncle Luo guessed that Li Tingyun was probably very tired too.
"I'm not sleepy. I'll chat with you so you can drive more energetically." Li Tingyun knew that it was easiest to feel sleepy while driving at night.
"You are just too sensible." Uncle Luo felt a little distressed about Li Tingyun's sensibleness.
Most sensible children lacked some kind of care since childhood. He also saw her family background and felt that the child was even more pitiful.
The car drove forward and they chatted until they arrived at Haishi.
That place was quite special and Li Tingyun couldn't go there, so Uncle Luo sent her to the hotel and gave her the certificate issued when she left, and told her to take it to the front desk.
Li Tingyun didn't ask anything. She took the certificate into the hotel and gave it to the front desk clerk. The female comrade at the front desk led her into a clean room.
"Comrade, if you need anything, just go to the front desk and tell us. The hot water is ready for you. If you want to take a shower tonight, you can do it tomorrow during the day." The female comrade had a smile on her face and spoke very politely.
Li Tingyun knew that Uncle Luo had probably called to arrange all this before he left.
"Thank you very much. Hot water is enough." She thanked the female comrade and saw her out the door.
The hotels in this city are cleaner and bigger than those in the county. This is a single room with a pretty good environment.
After closing the door, she opened the window and looked out. She found that the Public Security Bureau was right next to her, so she felt very safe living there.
She yawned and fell asleep without thinking much.
When it was almost dawn, there was a knock on the door. She jumped out of bed, walked to the door and looked through the hole. Seeing that it was Gu Xingwu standing at the door, she opened the door.
The door opened, and Gu Xingwu came in and hugged Li Tingyun tightly.
"You, what's wrong with you?" Li Tingyun didn't know why Gu Xingwu was so excited?
"I'm sorry, I, I..." Gu Xingwu was so excited that he couldn't say any of the words he had prepared.
Seeing that Gu Xingwu was in a bad mood, Li Tingyun pushed him away and poured him a cup of hot water.
Gu Xingwu then realized that he was too impulsive and had just hugged Li Tingyun. His face immediately turned red to his neck.
Li Tingyun turned around and looked at Gu Xingwu's blushing face, and couldn't help laughing: "You are like a child sometimes."
"I will be whatever you like me to be?" Gu Xingwu said embarrassedly.
"Okay, why are you running out at this time? Don't break the rules." Li Tingyun reminded Gu Xingwu.
Gu Xingwu's face darkened after hearing this. He really had sneaked out. Uncle Luo said that Li Tingyun was also here, so he couldn't wait to come over and see her.
Uncle Luo told him to go and come back quickly, and he couldn't stay too long and cause trouble for Uncle Luo.
Thinking of this, he quickly stood up, took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Li Tingyun. This was the money he borrowed from his leader and two colleagues before coming out.
Uncle Luo said that it was Tingyun’s first time in Hai City, so even if he couldn’t accompany her, he could give her some money so that she could buy some things to take home for the New Year.
"You really have a lot of money. You gave me so much before you got out. How come you have it now? Tell me, where did it come from? Did you borrow it?" Li Tingyun took a look and thought it must be at least two hundred yuan. How long would it take for a salaried worker to pay it back?
Gu Xingwu denied it and told a white lie: "No, this is the money a colleague borrowed from me before. I asked for the money and he returned it to me."
"Then I can't accept it. Before, you lived with me and paid for your food, which I thought was fine. But now you're back in the city, and there are so many places to spend money in the city!" Li Tingyun had just received several thousand yuan and was not short of this little money at all, but he didn't want to owe anyone a favor.
Gu Xingwu panicked when he saw Li Tingyun refused to take the money. "This, this won't do. My money is yours. You keep it."
"I'm not related to you. Why should I do that?" Li Tingyun saw that Gu Xingwu was anxious and teased him deliberately.
Gu Xingwu opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Okay, go back, otherwise you will be punished." Li Tingyun said and was about to push the person out.
Gu Xingwu blurted out anxiously: "You are my wife, it is only natural that I give you my money."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!" Li Tingyun blushed.
"Everyone in Kaoshan Village knows about this, so I didn't say anything nonsense. Don't worry, no matter what you buy, I won't say anything to you. As long as you are happy." After Gu Xingwu finished speaking, he stuffed the money into Li Tingyun's hand, opened the door and ran out.
Li Tingyun...
Did I just pick up a man who gave me money for free?
She felt a little conflicted. Holding the warm money, her heart was beating wildly.
By the time she reacted and ran out, the man had disappeared. She ran to the window and looked out, and saw Gu Xingwu running into the Public Security Bureau and never coming out again.
After she could no longer see the figure, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.
The stuttering dog in the space said sarcastically, "Why wouldn't you be happy if someone gave you money and flowers? Other girls wouldn't even think about it. Besides, this guy has good character and is kind. He's a good man you'd never find even with a lantern."
"Shut up, I'm not blind, what do you want me to say?" Li Tingyun has been with Gu Xingwu for so long, of course he knows Gu Xingwu's character.
She sat on the bed, looked at the money in her hand, and sighed.
Boom boom boom!
The door was knocked again. She hurriedly put the money into the space, took a look through the crack of the door, and found that it was the door next door that was knocked. She lay down on the bed in disappointment.
After taking a nap, around eleven o'clock, there was another knock on the door, and Uncle Luo's voice came from outside.
"Tingyun, are you up?"
Hearing Uncle Luo's voice, Li Tingyun opened the door.
Uncle Luo's eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had been up all night and looked very tired.
"Tingyun, you really solved a big problem for us. Let's go and have something delicious." Although he was tired, he looked very excited.
"Uncle Luo, you look so haggard. Just eat something and take a rest." Li Tingyun felt distressed just looking at you.
"Well, it's okay. He's nearby. Let's go. Chen Laoliu is waiting there." After Uncle Luo said this, he turned around and left with a happy face, without giving Li Tingyun any chance to refuse.
