Jiang Mingxin couldn't sleep for half the night.
She pretended to be crazy to test the waters, but she actually felt very bad.
Before the fire, she felt that she and Xing Haodong could become partners, friends, siblings, and even sex partners.
After the fire, she felt a little shaken.
On the one hand, she wanted to know how sincere Xing Haodong was towards her, but on the other hand, she was worried that the answer was not what she wanted, so she deliberately went crazy in front of him.
Now she feels depressed and trapped, and a little guilty.
She doesn't want to end this relationship, nor does she want Xing Haodong to fall deeply in love with her.
This was a wake-up call for Xing Haodong and also a reminder for herself.
After this incident, he should consciously keep his distance from her.
However, what Jiang Mingxin did not expect was that the Roman Jeep appeared at the school gate again.
"Why are you here again?"
Looking at Xing Haodong, who was wearing a denim suit and looked so handsome to a new level, Jiang Mingxin was stunned for two seconds, feeling extremely complicated.
Apart from anything else, Xing Haodong was really kind to her eyes.
"I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to tell you some things..." He suddenly took a step forward and extended his hand to Jiang Mingxin.
Jiang Mingxin instinctively took a step back, "What are you going to do..."
Before she finished speaking, Xing Haodong reached out to help her adjust the shoulder strap of her backpack. "It's the wrong way around. Let's go. I just bought some daily necessities at the market. Sister Hong and Brother Han might need them. Let's take them over together."
Jiang Mingxin couldn't find any reason to object.
After getting into his car, she frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong.
Why does Xing Haodong act like nothing happened?
Didn’t she make it clear enough yesterday?
"By the way, you just transferred here. Are you getting along well with your classmates? If you have any difficulties, remember to tell me."
"It's pretty good. The classmates and teachers are very easy to get along with. Look over there, aren't several classmates looking at me?" Jiang Mingxin pointed out the window.
Wang Jue was standing with a few other boys, staring at her sinisterly.
He got up early today on purpose. In order to punish Jiang Mingxin, he applied super glue on her bench and desk. However, Jiang Mingxin saw through his trick and snatched his books away and spread them on the desk and chair.
Wang Jue was so angry that he was fuming, but he couldn't beat her or scold her, so he could only stare at her secretly, hoping to stare a hole in her.
"What's that boy's look?"
Xing Haodong's expression instantly turned grim, and his hawk-like sharp eyes shot straight over, like a sharp and murderous sword, chopping Wang Bing into several pieces.
Wang Bing broke out in a cold sweat and quickly grabbed his companion and ran away.
Jiang Mingxin laughed out loud, "Oh, don't scare him. He's just a little mouse with bared teeth. It's fun to tease him."
Xing Haodong looked at her in disbelief, pursed his lips, and seemed to be thinking about his words.
Jiang Mingxin waited for a long while, and then heard someone say, "Stop teasing me."
"What?" Jiang Ming couldn't help but smile, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes, "Why can't you tease me? Um...Uncle Policeman?"
Xing Haodong was helpless and speechless. After thinking for a while, he had no idea what to do with her, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
After delivering the daily necessities to Sister Hong and the others, he took Jiang Mingxin to eat soup dumplings.
"The owner of this shop is from Kaifeng. The skin is thin and the filling is big. When you lift it up, it looks like a lantern, and when you put it down, it looks like a chrysanthemum. You open the window first and then drink the soup. It's very fragrant."
Xing Haodong ordered a large basket and shared it with Jiang Mingxin.
The two of them have become accustomed to not talking while eating. After they are full, they return to the car to discuss business.
"The method you mentioned will definitely not work. I thought of one. Let me see if it works."
Jiang Mingxin leaned against the window with his chin in his hand, "Okay, go ahead."
Xing Haodong's voice was crystal clear. "I've pretty much investigated everything Zhou Jing did over the past two days. As you said, Zhou Jing unilaterally wanted to take Zhou Suyun for himself. Because he didn't succeed, he harbored a grudge. Not only did he hire thugs to spread rumors to ruin her reputation, he even paid thugs to set her on fire."
"There are actually quite a few people who know about this matter, but they are afraid to tell the truth due to the influence of the Zhou family. If we want to convince these people to come forward and testify, we must let them know that the Zhou family cannot cover up everything. Therefore, I decided to first collect evidence of Zhou Jing and Zhou Kui's crimes, and then strike at the source! But to obtain this evidence, there is a tiger's den that must be braved."
Jiang Mingxin unconsciously turned his head, "Tiger's den? Where is that place?"
Xing Haodong took out a flyer and handed it to her, "Feihuang Dance Hall."
"This place, filled with wine, women, and revelry, looks shady. And it's members-only? Could it be a place where Zhou Kui meets with the tomb-robbing gang and sells stolen goods?"
Jiang Mingxin made a bold guess and hit the key points directly.
"I told you that you have a talent for criminal investigation, and this is the reason." Xing Haodong nodded, but his expression was not very good.
"Our people have found out that Zhou Kui sometimes holds underground auctions there, selling unearthed cultural relics on the spot. These artifacts are purchased not only by Chinese but also by many foreign antique dealers."
Jiang Mingxin curled her lips slightly: "I understand, you want to take me in to identify the authenticity of the cultural relics? But you are afraid that I will suffer if I go, so you are hesitant, right?"
Xing Haodong smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Sometimes I really doubt you have X-ray vision. I've been through a lot, but why do I feel like I'm being seen through by you?"
"No, no, I don't have that ability!" Jiang Ming was inadvertently pleased by this remark. "Didn't you say that as long as you're here, I'll never have to sell my body again? Then what am I afraid of? Let's go!"
