Transformation
Seeing the group name on Xu Qing's phone, Li Xingzang sensed something was amiss and quickly pulled out his phone. Ha! She had already officially announced it in multiple groups, including the family group, the restaurant regulars group, and the bathhouse group.
Gossip is a common problem among human beings.
Honestly, if something happened between a girl she knew and a handsome guy, she might ask a few questions, but the key point is, there was nothing going on between them! This was only the third time they had met today!
It’s all his fault!
Li Xingzang glared at Yu Shishi who was drinking over there and said something about last night. Look, the rumor was blown into the forest by the wind!
"Sister-in-law, there's nothing between him and me." She herself felt pale after saying this. But Xu Qing understood, "Ah, in this world, it doesn't matter what you have or don't have. Just be happy!" She winked, "But my sister has good taste. A lively young man is the best! Even if we're just playing around, we have to find someone good-looking!"
Li Xingzang thought what she said made sense. After nodding, he realized something was wrong. There was really nothing between her and Yu Sishi!
It takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them! What a golden sentence!
Li Xingzang sighed helplessly and picked up the wine glass on the table. Since he couldn't beat them, he might as well join them!
"Xiao Yu, how did you and Zang Zang know each other?" After drinking for a while, Brother Qian felt almost familiar with each other, so he received Xu Qing's gaze and asked.
Yu Sishi looked at Li Xingzang opposite him. She had already completely laid down, even raising her eyebrows as if she was enjoying the show.
"Ah! Boss Li and I met in Hecheng." Yu Sishi looked thoughtful, as if he was genuinely recalling how they met. "The apartment complex she rented in was very close to where I worked, and we bumped into each other occasionally on the way to work. Later, I went to their apartment complex to do some work, and that's how we got to know each other."
Li Xingzang was simply stunned by his ability to tell lies. Who would want to go along with him?
"Oh? Is it so fate?" Brother Qian said exaggeratedly. Li Xingzang couldn't stand it anymore and sneered, "You should eat more shrimp."
After hearing this, Li Long shouted, "What do you mean? Are you saying Xiao Yu is blind?" He knew that this guy had no good intentions. So, he was exposed by his eldest daughter.
Yu Sishi looked at her innocently. "Boss Li, you're right. We met in your neighborhood! There was a dent in the floor of the house you rented, and I was there when they were looking for someone to fix it!"
"Bang!" Everyone looked at the broken wine glass in her hand in surprise. Li Xingzang stood up hurriedly, "I said this thing is not strong. Uncle, just get some plastic ones next time! They won't break even if you drop them to the ground." By squatting, the wound that was slowly healing was quietly hidden.
"That plastic one is so low-class! I'll just pick something better next time." Zidane quickly added, "Come on, why weren't you paying attention? That glass is going to shatter if it hits the marble!"
"Didn't I notice it?" The two of them said one by one, attracting the attention of the people around them. No one thought about what Yu Shishi had just said.
Yu Si Shi raised his wine glass and gestured to Li Long who was sitting at the top of the table. If he still didn't know where he was, then all his work over the years would have been in vain.
Boss Li, you are really not simple!
The meal lasted from noon to night. Even though there were scrutinizing eyes behind him, Yu Sishi still walked out of the restaurant with grace and elegance.
"Old Bai, what do you think?" Li Long stretched out his arms, leaned back in his chair, and asked with his head slightly tilted.
"The young man is quite down-to-earth." A tall and beautiful woman slowly walked in from the back door of the restaurant.
The bathhouse has five floors. The first floor houses the reception hall, which includes bathing areas for men and women, as well as a steam room. The second floor is the leisure area, offering massage, foot massage, and karaoke. The third floor houses the restaurant, which, in addition to the main hall Li Xingzang and his companions visited today, also offers private rooms of varying sizes, catering to different groups of people. From the fourth floor up, accommodations are located, offering standard rooms and the suite Yu Sishi had reserved.
Yu Sishi did not take the elevator, but slowly walked back to the fifth floor along the fire escape.
It was evening, and the setting sun streamed through the stairwell windows. The gentle light caressed his features, yet only reflected a coldness.
At this moment, the entire Baishan Bath Center, along with the adjacent Old Li Family Restaurant, was enveloped in a massive barrier. During the day, it was a normal bathing place, even the front desk staff consisting of college students working part-time during winter break. But now? Look at their backyard: stone spirits, tiger demons, red-robed ghosts, pine tree people... a whole riot of demons, not to mention the mysterious and complex aura that had just filled the restaurant.
Then he thought of the old zombies lurking in the street ahead, the vampires who were clearly newborns but whose fighting power was no less than his, and those two legendary figures who were now opening a bathhouse...
Yu Sishi sighed. Is the Special Intelligence Bureau of Ice City only concerned with making ice sculptures?
He could almost imagine the piles of documents and reports on his desk, and his resentment towards work made him look gloomier than the monsters in the backyard.
Li Xingzang stood in the corridor waiting for him for a long time. Seeing that he looked like he had lost his parents, he asked curiously, "Hey, why do you look so sad after not seeing you for a while?"
Yu Sishi was speechless when he saw her looking at the show. His behavior was not unrelated to her.
"Boss Li, do you have something to talk to me about?" Yu Sishi scratched his hair. Now Li Xingzang could see that he was really in a bad mood.
"What's wrong with you?" Who provoked him? It couldn't be her, she just arrived!
Yu Sishi looked at her helplessly for a moment, then saw that her eyes were truly clear, so he could only sigh, "Come in." After swiping the room card and about to walk in, he suddenly turned back to look at her: "We're alone, at night, Boss Li. Will this affect your reputation?"
I just saw him being a little serious, but now he's starting over again.
Li Xingzang rolled his eyes and said, "Thanks to Officer Yu, I am no longer single in Xuecheng." She was not polite and pushed him away and walked in.
Yu Sishi felt helpless when he thought of the new WeChat friend he had added on his phone. He just said a few words casually, intending to test Li Xingzang, but he didn't expect the ending to be so unexpected.
"Come on, let's stop beating around the bush and talk it out frankly." Let's resolve the matter as soon as possible and get him out of here as soon as possible.
Yu Sishi agreed with Li Xingzang's idea. Rather, he was surprised by her frankness. He hadn't expected her to be so concerned about the scandal. Yu Sishi felt he had discovered a shortcut.
"Who's going first?" Since the other party was cooperating, his attitude should of course be better. At this moment, he placed the water in front of Li Xingzang, and his gentlemanly demeanor was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Unfortunately, Li Xingzang had already seen how vicious he was when he lied with his eyes open in the daytime, so he naturally would not be easily tempted by beauty. "You go first." Although he wanted to show his cards, he still had to fight for the initiative.
Yu Sishi looked at Li Xingzang, who was leaning on the sofa with a big horse and a golden sword, and was a little amused. He straightened his attitude and said, "What I told you is true. There was a series of falling cases in Hecheng, and He Yishu was one of the victims. That's why I came to you."
"Victim?" Li Xingzang noticed his choice of words. He didn't say that this morning.
"That's right. The people who fell from the building were all employees of a chain club in Hecheng. They didn't commit suicide on their own initiative. They were deliberately killed."
"And..." Yu Sishi looked at her inquiringly, "Their souls are all gone."
Li Xingzang looked up in astonishment, then realized that this was the reason why Yu Sishi was in charge of this case.
"I discovered your scent during my investigation. All the vampires in Hecheng are registered, and you are not one of them. A wild vampire was found near He Yishu's death scene, so we naturally connected you to all of this."
Li Xingzang understood what he meant. If it were her, and she found another mysterious creature at the crime scene, she would not let go of this clue.
"But I really don't know anything about the falling case." Li Xingzang licked his lips. Gao Yuan had sent her a WeChat message, and today she also asked Aunt Guan about the Special Intelligence Bureau. Yu Shishi's identity was real.
"I didn't explain the matter of Alfred clearly, but I really have nothing to do with it." Li Xingzang didn't know how to prove her innocence. After all, He Yishu fell in front of her, and her soul followed her back to Snow City. She looked very suspicious now, and Yu Sishi was very polite not to arrest her at the beginning.
Yu Sishi looked at her seriously, his red eyes showing thought and inquiry, but without fear or concealment.
"I didn't come to you just because of He Yishu." Li Xingzang was thinking about how to prove his innocence when Yu Sishi changed the subject and asked, "Did you go to Yuncheng before you resigned?"
His eyes suddenly widened as he looked at her shocked expression, realizing he had hit the nail on the head. This was also his true purpose for coming to Snow City.
"If I'm not mistaken, something happened to you in Cloud City that turned you into a vampire."
Although she had confirmed his position, Li Xingzang still looked at him warily. After a while, she asked, "Can I trust you?"
Yu Sishi was stunned for a moment. Why would she ask that?
But this was a great opportunity. Yu Sishi immediately realized, "This is my police ID. You've seen it before. You can check with the relevant department. My name is indeed in the system." He then took out other documents, "This is my ID card—"
Before he could finish, Li Xingzang interrupted him. She leaned towards Yu Sishi and stared at him closely. "What I'm asking is, can I trust you?"
This time, Yu Sishi was sure that he understood what she meant.
"You can," he replied just as seriously.
The air seemed to be stagnant, leaving only the shouting of the little monsters outside the window and the sable's impatient scolding.
"Come with me." Li Xingzang didn't say anything else, but Yu Shishi had a hunch that she might have something very important to say.
It always gets dark early in the winter in the Northeast. The sun was setting just now, but after talking for a while, the sky outside had become very dark.
Li Xingzang walked in silence. Since Yu Sishi was so sincere and dared to swear under the gaze of the mountain god and the dragon god, she might as well take a gamble.
After entering the hotel, Li Xingzang was about to go upstairs to get the evidence she had recorded, but when she turned around, she was stunned.
"What's going on?!" Where is Yu Shishi!
The originally tall figure disappeared, replaced by a huge... "Samoyed"?
