Gu Xiaofan no longer had the energy to figure out what Zhong Han meant by "adding trouble". After Zhong Han agreed to help, she became a little excited, a little expectant, and a little nervous.
"What should I do first?" She took a deep breath and asked Zhong Han with a determined look."First..." Zhong Han thought seriously, "eat, and then pay for the meal.""You changed the subject again, I'm asking you seriously." Gu Xiaofan thought he was interrupting on purpose.Zhong Han looked innocent: "I answered very seriously. Didn't I tell you before? What you need to do now is not to always get close to Gao Xuan. You should think carefully about what he asks you to do. Don't agree to everything. I will act according to circumstances. You don't need to do anything.""Oh, okay." Seeing Zhong Han say this, although Gu Xiaofan still couldn't figure out what kind of so-called plan he would have, she became less worried when she saw his confident look. For some reason, she felt that Zhong Han would not cheat her. "Then I will treat you at noon. Let's eat whatever you want. Don't be polite with me. I will do what I say."Although she said it very generously, Gu Xiaofan was still a little worried. What if Zhong Han was too real and really drove to the seafood restaurant to eat a foot-long lobster, the pitiful money in her wallet might not be enough.Fortunately, her worry was completely unnecessary. Zhong Han did not go to any seafood restaurant, or even any big restaurant with gorgeous facades. Instead, he drove the car to a not particularly busy street and stopped at the door of a small restaurant with a simple facade, but it was very clean and bright."Private dishes?" Gu Xiaofan followed Zhong Han out of the car and looked up at the sign on the door. The aroma of food wafting from the restaurant was not strong, but very tempting. "It seems to be quite good. But how can you find this restaurant in such a location?""I live nearby. When I have nothing to do, I walk around. I will find it naturally after getting familiar with the environment. Let's go. There must be a seat at this time. If you come during the peak lunch time, I'm afraid you will have to wait." The place he chose was initially praised by Gu Xiaofan, and Zhong Han seemed a little proud.As soon as he entered the door, it was true. Almost half of the tables in the small restaurant were occupied by customers. Three waiters were tidying up the tables. When they heard someone coming in, one of them came up to show them the table. He took the menu and placed it in front of Gu Xiaofan in a gentlemanly manner."I'm most worried about ordering. You should order. First, it's my treat. Second, I think you have good taste in food." Gu Xiaofan handed the menu back to Zhong Han.Zhong Han didn't push and turn with her. He took the menu and flipped through it. He asked for a pork ribs and mushroom soup and a celery and peach kernel soup. The waiter neatly placed the order for them and brought a pot of hot barley tea.Gu Xiaofan drank the barley tea in small sips. The strong aroma of barley tea after stir-frying made her feel comfortable. After a while, the food was served, a soup, a dish and two bowls of rice. Zhong Han took the soup bowl in front of Gu Xiaofan and served her a bowl of soup, and then served himself. Gu Xiaofan scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon and drank it. She felt that the taste was great. The pork ribs soup was very rich and had a meaty aroma. The fungi in the soup removed the greasiness of the meat and added a unique fresh fragrance. The celery and peach kernels were mixed with sesame oil, which was green and shiny, and tasted fresh and refreshing, which made Gu Xiaofan feel more appetizing."Fortunately, I don't eat with you every day. You are the only one who eats so well. If I always eat with you, I'm afraid my weight will soar!" Gu Xiaofan said to Zhong Han. It sounded like he was criticizing him, but the satisfied tone was clearly a kind of praise.Zhong Han smiled. He ate a little faster than Gu Xiaofan and had already put down his chopsticks. He said to Gu Xiaofan, who had not finished eating yet, "Eat slowly first. I'll call Wen Jing and contact her."Gu Xiaofan nodded and finished the rest of the meal by herself. She wiped her mouth with satisfaction, grabbed her purse and went to pay the bill. The cashier smiled and pointed to Zhong Han standing on the roadside and making a phone call outside the glass window: "The gentleman has already paid."Gu Xiaofan was stunned, thanked him, and walked out of the store. It seemed that Zhong Han had contacted Wen Jing herself. She was tilting her head and holding the phone, freeing her hands to write down the address in a notebook."Have you finished eating? Then get in the car. We have contacted Wen Jing and got the address from her. It will be more convenient for her now. We can go there immediately." After Zhong Han hung up the phone, he saw Gu Xiaofan standing beside him, so he waved to her and signaled her to get in the car and get ready to go.Gu Xiaofan got into the car as she was told. When Zhong Han got in, she asked, "Didn't we agree that you would help me and I would treat you to a meal in return? Why did you pay for the meal?""It doesn't matter. I can watch the show at the same time, so it's not a loss. Besides, I don't like to owe others. I prefer others to owe me a favor, so that I can raise the price and get it back with interest later." Zhong Han said indifferently, "Besides, when I eat with you, it doesn't make sense for a grown man to wait for a woman to pay the bill.""You really care about your face!" Gu Xiaofan had to settle for the second best. "Okay, I'll keep my word and treat you to a meal. Since this meal didn't work out, I'll make it up to you later."Following the address Wen Jing gave Zhong Han, the two came to the door of a hotel. The hotel was not large, and it was obvious that it was originally converted from an ordinary first-floor residential building. In the yard in front of the door, there was a light box with the words "Available" and "Monthly Package Available". The cement bricks on the ground in the yard were broken, and there were dots of tender green grass sprouts just emerging in the cracks of the bricks. Instead of adding a little vitality to the place, it looked even more dilapidated."Are you sure it's here? Did you remember it wrong?" Seeing this state, Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but wonder if Zhong Han didn't hear the address or house number Wen Jing said clearly on the phone at that time."It can't be wrong. Look, she even gave me the room number." Zhong Han handed his notebook to Gu Xiaofan to prove his statement."Why does she live in such a place? Didn't the people at Hengjiu Media say that she had worked in the company for a long time and resigned last month under pressure? Didn't she live in the house arranged by the company before, so she had no place to live after being fired?" Gu Xiaofan felt that this small hotel was not a place to live for a long time, and couldn't understand why Wen Jing would live here.Zhong Han shrugged: "You have to ask her in person. Anyway, she is inside. We will know when we go in and ask!"The two walked into the small hotel side by side. It is estimated that there are no guests staying in this small hotel on weekdays. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a faint musty smell caused by humidity. There is a bar next to the door. Sitting at the bar is a middle-aged man in his forties, leaning against the table to watch TV programs. When he heard someone coming in, he looked up and saw that the people coming were a young couple. He immediately became energetic and asked enthusiastically and ambiguously: "You two, is it a small room or a stay?""Neither, I'm here to find someone. How do I get to room 215?" Zhong Han asked.The hotel owner's enthusiasm seemed to be poured with cold water in an instant, and he pointed to the stairs behind them with some disappointment: "Go upstairs, turn right, and go all the way to the left."The stairs were narrow and steep, and they creaked when stepped on. Gu Xiaofan wanted to use his hands and feet to prevent himself from accidentally rolling down the stairs. He finally got to the second floor and walked to the end of the corridor according to the owner's instructions. He found room 215, and Zhong Han raised his hand and knocked on the door.The door opened, and a young girl appeared at the door. She looked at the two people outside the door, turned around and made way for the door, saying, "Are you from the Public Security Bureau? Come in."Gu Xiaofan had to admit that Wen Jing looked very different from what she had imagined. She originally thought that the woman who was described by the people in the design department of Hengjiu Media as the dream lover of all the men in the company must be very beautiful, the kind that makes people's eyes light up. However, Wen Jing herself looked only delicate and charming, and looked weak and pure. She had fair skin and a few faint freckles on her face, giving people the feeling that she was more like a pitiful girl next door."Please sit down. The room is quite simple. You can only make do with it for a while." Wen Jing used her fingers to smooth the black straight hair hanging on her cheeks behind her ears, and took out two bottles of juice from the large plastic bag in the corner and handed them to them, "It's very dry outside, right? Drink some juice to moisten yourself!"Wen Jing's voice was particularly soft. Gu Xiaofan and Zhong Han thanked them while taking the juice. The room in the small hotel was quite small. There was no chair except a bed and a TV cabinet, so the two of them simply stood by the wall instead of sitting down. Wen Jing saw that they didn't want to sit down, so she didn't refuse them anymore. After handing them the drinks, she sat down by the bed. When she sat down, she didn't forget to adjust the wide skirt of her long skirt.Gu Xiaofan suddenly found that Wen Jing was wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger. The diamond was as big as a bean. Even in this room with insufficient light, it was still very shiny. It was obvious that it was not a cheap counterfeit jewelry.But such a diamond ring must be expensive, right? A young girl wearing an expensive diamond ring living in such a small hotel really made Gu Xiaofan feel very strange.
