Chapter 147 Do you still like it when I kiss you?
A sound came from his arms, and Zhou Yanchuan turned his head and looked down.
He met the girl's beautiful, curious eyes, and his gaze flickered slightly.
"how?"
"Why is there a wardrobe there?" she asked, trying to keep her tone innocent.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Tinghe chimed in, "Little Jiu, are you curious?"
Wen Jiu nodded.
He gave Zhou Yanchuan a meaningful look.
Wen Jiu felt even more puzzled.
At this moment, Xie Tinghe asked, "Should we go take a look with Yanchuan?"
"May I?"
"You'll have to ask him about that."
Wen Jiu hesitated for a moment, then looked up. Before she could speak, Zhou Yanchuan glanced down at her and slowly uttered three words: "No."
"..."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to."
After Zhou Yanchuan finished speaking, he looked at the person who was standing still without saying a word or moving. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard her say, "Can you show me around?"
Facing Xie Tinghe.
Even the habitually lazy Xie Tinghe couldn't help but panic upon hearing this. "Little Jiu, are you trying to kill me?"
Even if you gave him a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare take her there.
"It's just looking at a wardrobe, isn't it?"
"This is no ordinary wardrobe."
Wen Jiu's doubts deepened.
However, her relationship with Zhou Yanchuan is not quite the same as before.
Everyone in the private room was afraid of him. No one dared to take her to see him unless he spoke, but she didn't know how to get him to agree.
It can't be like before, and he might not even be buying it anymore. Wen Jiu lowered her eyelashes, feeling inexplicably sad.
Zhou Yanchuan looked down at her, but didn't say anything.
After an unknown amount of time, she looked up and met those emotionless eyes.
In fact, Wen Jiu discovered that Zhou Yanchuan was very charming when he was indifferent, as if he was always meant to be that way.
Those affectionate glances from back then seemed like a dream bestowed upon her by heaven.
Her heart ached slightly, her fingertips twitched at her sides, and then she tilted her head closer to him.
Do you still like it when I kiss you?
She spoke in a very low voice, so low that even Xie Tinghe, who was standing to the side, couldn't hear her.
But Zhou Yanchuan heard it clearly, he heard the caution and probing in the tone, and his calm eyes underwent a subtle change.
It was heartache, heartache for the way she looked in front of him now, as if she had returned to the beginning, repeatedly confirming with him whether he liked her.
Zhou Yanchuan tightened his grip on her waist, pulling her closer to him. He didn't answer whether he liked her or not, but...
He gestured to the waiter next to him to open the door, then put his arm around her and slowly walked towards it.
The man's attitude suddenly changed, and the group of people couldn't help but wonder what the girl had said.
The atmosphere between the two of them was truly indescribably subtle.
It sounds indifferent, but for some reason I feel very concerned.
As Wen Jiu was led by Zhou Yanchuan toward the wardrobe, a hint of confusion and bewilderment flickered in her eyes.
In the silent private room, the wardrobe door slowly opened, and Wen Jiu's attention immediately shifted to it. When she saw the scene inside, her gaze suddenly froze.
yes--
There is a hidden door in the wardrobe.
It's a room inside!
In that instant, details of the case flooded her mind uncontrollably, along with a cacophony of voices.
“I saw a wardrobe.”
"Walnut wood colored, with diamond-shaped handles."
"Captain Liu, did you find anything in the wardrobe?"
"No, it was cleaned very thoroughly, there wasn't a single trace left."
"However, there is one difference from what Li Xingzhou said: the handle is square, not diamond-shaped."
"The cabinet was empty, just a back panel, nothing else."
...
Wen Jiu had always been curious as to why it was cleaned so thoroughly, without even scratches. She firmly believed that if someone had ever existed, it was impossible for them not to leave any trace, unless—
The wardrobe at the crime scene was no longer the one where Zhiyi was hidden.
"So that's how it is."
She murmured to herself, then turned to the waiter beside her and asked, "Does every private room in our bar have a room like this?"
The man replied respectfully, "These private rooms are only available to VIP members."
"So, every VIP member's private room must have a wardrobe with a hidden compartment like this; it's impossible for it to just have a regular wardrobe?"
"That's one way to understand it."
Upon confirming it once again, Wen Jiu's eyes shone with a light she had never noticed before. She was excited and wanted to tell Sun Jin the news, but then she suddenly remembered where she was and who was with her.
Wen Jiu raised her head and met the eyes that were staring at her, and pursed her lips somewhat awkwardly.
Zhou Yanchuan asked, "Have you finished thinking about it?"
She was surprised by his reaction, but then she realized that he seemed to have guessed it from the beginning.
So he nodded and said, "Mm."
Looking into those clear eyes, Zhou Yanchuan realized that, perhaps without her even realizing it, she was exuding a professional confidence and aura.
Seeing this, Xie Tinghe could pretty much confirm that after five years, Zhou Yanchuan still hadn't let go of the woman in his arms.
Despite his tough exterior, his protective instincts are exactly the same as they were back then.
Once he confirmed this, he fanned the flames from behind: "The door's open, why aren't you going in? Little Jiu, didn't you say you wanted to see?"
After Xie Tinghe mentioned it, Wen Jiu remembered to look inside the house. She raised her eyes and took a serious look at the room for the first time.
It would have been better if you hadn't seen it, but once you did, you immediately understood why Xie Tinghe reacted the way he did when she asked him, "Can you take me to see it?"
She was shocked, and at that moment, she finally learned what Zhiyi had gone through.
The room in front of me was filled with all sorts of things that resembled torture instruments.
Zhou Yanchuan looked down at the girl's slowly changing expression, his expression shifting from shock to a frown of heartache, as if he had remembered something.
He saw the sadness in her eyes, looked at the waiter beside him, and told him to close the door.
The gazes that had been focused on the two of them shifted again because of Zhou Yanchuan's action. He didn't even want anyone to see something so commonplace, let alone use it.
Wen Jiu looked up, the light casting a thin shadow on his handsome face. The more she got into their circle, the more afraid she became, afraid that he would also become a stranger.
But subconsciously, he knew he wouldn't.
As soon as Wen Jiu got out of the bar, she called Lao Liu and told him that the wardrobe they had checked last time had been switched, and asked him to send someone to search it again.
Sun Jin exclaimed with relief, "Finally, we've made a good discovery."
"yes."
Wen Jiu put her phone aside, and her anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
Just then, a voice sounded from beside me, "Xiao Jiu, who was that man who helped you in the earphone just now?"
Wen Jiu was taken aback, then whispered, "Ex-boyfriend."
To Sun Jin's surprise, the moment the man spoke, everyone in the private room fell silent.
Those who can go there are either rich or powerful. The fact that this person can still have such a high status among such a group of people speaks volumes about their background and status.
