C1796 No It's Not Called Being Low-key It's Called Pretending to be a Cross
Wu Fangfang sighed. "This child seems to be carefree and open-minded, but his thoughts are very detailed. Deep down, he is also a little sad."
"As elders, we don't even know these things, it's really embarrassing." Ye Lingtian entered the living room and sat on the sofa. He was attracted by a photo and asked Wu Fangfang, "Teacher Wu has a twin sister?"
Sad flashed across Wu Fangfang's eyes as she nodded slightly. "I have an elder sister."
Seeing Wu Fangfang's expression, Ye Lingtian probed, "She's not in the same city as you?"
"She was in a city before she left." Wu Fangfang looked at the photo of the two on the tea table and squeezed out a smile, "Big Brother Sunn, you stay here for a while, I'll go cook."
"Oh." Ye Lingtian received a message when Wu Fangfang walked into the kitchen. He read the message and frowned more. He quickly scanned his surroundings and then stood up.
With his mind focused on Wu Fangfang, who was busy in the kitchen, Ye Lingtian quickly replied. He then walked into the kitchen and said to Wu Fangfang, "Teacher Wu, don't worry about it. Let's go outside to eat."
Go out and eat? Wu Fangfang was stunned and looked at Ye Lingtian in puzzlement. If she had decided to eat outside, she shouldn't have gone upstairs and asked, "Why?"
Ever since Ling Xi went to high school, Teacher Wu has helped her so much, and as the head of the family, he has to express that Ling Xi is not well-behaved. As elders, we can't not be sensible, we just have to be ignorant, and once we know, we can't just let it go like this.
"That's nothing. As long as Ling Xi has a good future, then it's fine. The rest is just for show." As Wu Fangfang said this, she thought about how there weren't many dishes in the fridge. At most, she would only cook noodles at home, and then she said, "I've been busy these two days, so I forgot to buy vegetables. Fine, let's go out for a meal, but I'll treat you to this meal in advance. If you really want to treat me to a meal, that's fine.
"If that's the case, then I'll let Teacher Wu spend tonight." As Ye Lingtian said this, he walked out of the kitchen and sent out the message while fiddling with the buttons.
Wu Fangfang originally wanted to go to her bedroom to change, but when she saw Ye Lingtian fiddling with his phone, she frowned, "Didn't your phone run out of battery?"
Ye Lingtian's face reddened and he scratched his head: "I was a bit nervous when I saw Teacher Wu. There was still some electricity on my phone, but that friend of mine couldn't get through …"
If he couldn't get through, then so be it. Why did he have to say that his phone ran out of battery? But then he thought about it and understood. It was still snowing outside waiting for that unreliable friend of his. The impression he gave was one of a bit of a fool.
Wu Fangfang smiled knowingly and didn't say anything further. She took out an umbrella and handed it to Ye Lingtian: "It's a lie if the phone doesn't have electricity. It's also a lie if it doesn't have an umbrella when it snows."
"Uh, this is true!" Ye Lingtian opened the door and followed Wu Fangfang downstairs.
Snow was finally falling. Wu Fangfang took out her cell phone and looked at the time. She hesitated a little. "It's not good to run outside in such a heavy snowfall, is it?"
"Nothing good, as long as you're happy." Ye Lingtian stood in the pitch-black courtyard, raised his head and looked at the snowy sky, and said softly, "I never thought that the snow falling from Gaixia would be this heavy as well."
Wu Fangfang held onto her umbrella as she stepped on the snow. She nodded and said, "It has indeed been quite some time since there has been snow this heavy for Gaixia, huh? Hearing Big Brother Sunn's words, every winter Tian Xue in your hometown is always very big? "
"My hometown isn't far from the Gaixia, so the climate of the two places is about the same. However, during winter, the snow is always very heavy." As Ye Lingtian said this, his head turned white.
Seeing him in such a state, Wu Fangfang hurriedly asked, "Aren't you cold wearing such thin clothes?"
Ye Lingtian shook his head: "I'm used to it."
It was only half past seven and there were very few people on the street. However, it was a different scene as they walked out of the alleyway.
Other than traffic jams, there were also many other benefits in the old district, such as the convenience of living. Just like now, after leaving the dark alleyway, they would have to head south on a road, which was only 500 meters away from the bustling commercial street.
The heavy snow did not stop the young men and women from shopping and having fun. On the contrary, due to the snow, there were a lot of young friends on the business street.
"Is it always so lively at night?" Ye Lingtian looked at the crowded pedestrian walkway not far away and turned to ask Wu Fangfang.
"Today is the weekend, so there's a lot of people." Wu Fangfang pointed at the street in front of them, saying to Ye Lingtian, "How about we go there?"
Ye Lingtian took out his cell phone to have a look and said to Wu Fangfang, "Didn't Teacher Wu say she has something to talk to me about? It's so noisy there you can't talk about anything. "
Every rainy and snowy day, the taxi was always hard to stop. The two of them stood by the roadside and waited for half an hour without stopping a single taxi.
The driver looked at Ye Lingtian in the snow, then looked at Wu Fangfang, who was holding an umbrella, and smiled, "Where are you two going? I'll give you a lift."
"Central Grand Hotel." Ye Lingtian answered without hesitation.
Central Grand Hotel? Wu Fangfang felt that something was not right, but after some thought, it was not bad. Directly across from Central Grand Hotel was Wanda Plaza. There were indeed a lot of places to eat, and the environment was elegant and not expensive.
"It's along the way, get in the car!" The driver snapped his fingers.
Ye Lingtian opened the back door and said to Wu Fangfang, "There are still good people in this world."
Wu Fangfang thought she was dreaming. The driver was too kind. She smiled at the driver gratefully and said, "Thank you. If it wasn't for your free ride, I don't know when I would have been able to get in the car."
"There's no need to thank me. After all, even if we passed by that place, if there are empty cars, we would still be able to run." The driver laughed heartily as he took the cigarette from Ye Lingtian and put it in his mouth. He observed Wu Fangfang through the rearview mirror and said, "It's been so many years since there was such a heavy snowfall. I remember it snowed for three days and three nights one year."
"Ten years ago!" Wu Fangfang turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, a layer of frost covering her face.
The driver slapped his thigh, "That's right, it's exactly ten years ago. I remember that after the snow stopped, something big happened at Gaixia and even the center was alarmed. It seems like a teenage girl died miserably, don't you know that this case has been solved?"
Wu Fangfang bit her lips, her eyes slightly red as she replied softly, "No."
Ye Lingtian looked at Wu Fangfang's expression and coughed lightly. He changed the subject: "Brother, how far is it from Central Grand Hotel?"
"A few minutes." The driver looked at Ye Lingtian's face through the rearview mirror, turned on the music and stopped talking.
When they arrived at the place, Ye Lingtian took out 20 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the driver: "Don't think that's too little, add some gas."
"I'm not bringing you guys for this little bit of money, even though my sideline is a sports car." The driver laughed heartily. When Ye Lingtian and Wu Fangfang got off the car, he quickly took out his phone and dialed a number. He said seriously, "It's done."
"Once that is done, we will go to the city police station," the middle-aged man's deep voice sounded from the receiver. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Have you confirmed our identity?"
"I have, Wu Fangfang. Ten years ago, she was the younger sister of the victim in the Gaixia case." Thinking about that case, the driver hesitated for a moment before probing, "Are we really going to investigate this case? "The police were so busy back then that we couldn't find the culprit despite there being a lot of commotion. So we can find out?"
"I say, brat, since you have nothing better to do, can you not ask me so much? This is what my superior wants!" Minister Sunn has already reached the Gaixia, and will be coming over once he finishes dealing with a meal.
The phone rang with a busy signal. The driver thought about the order he received not long ago, then recalled Ye Lingtian's facial expression and curled his lips, "Who are you? You obviously have a huge background, but you dressed up like a diaosi. This is not low-key, this is called pretending to be a fork in the park!"
He was in the middle of eating with his family when he suddenly received an order.
Furthermore, he had to rush to the police station to collect the information on Xiao Hong's shoes from ten years ago. The case had already been passed on for ten years, and the police department of the city police department and even the police department had wasted a lot of manpower and financial resources on this case. There were no clues at all, and he could just hand it over to National Security Agency?
As a native of the Gaixia, he clearly lacked confidence that National Security Agency would be able to solve this case.
Even though there were a lot of talented people in National Security Agency, they were not omnipotent. Furthermore, investigating this kind of criminal case was not a profession of National Security Agency. Their main task was to safeguard the security of the country and the stability of the society.
Ye Lingtian led Wu Fangfang directly towards the Central Grand Hotel, which was something Wu Fangfang did not expect.
She grabbed Ye Lingtian and said with a frown: "Big Brother Sunn, you want to go to the Central Grand Hotel for a meal?"
"Is there a problem?" Ye Lingtian asked.
Wu Fangfang was not stupid. From Ye Lingtian's posture, it was obvious that he was going to treat her to a banquet. Her face darkened as she said, "Big Brother Sunn, go in and eat yourself. This place is too high level for me to consume."
"It won't cost you much to go in and have a bite to eat." Ye Lingtian looked at Wu Fangfang's expression and explained, "I've already been arranged by my friends. If we don't go in, the money will be wasted."
How much can you earn by working as a handyman outside? Wu Fangfang's face became unsightly, and she said without any trace of politeness: "Big Brother Sunn, rather than inviting me here for a meal, why not save the money to buy Ling Xi some clothes or tools, what are you parents thinking? Was this for the sake of a child? No! You guys are suffering because of your pride! "
With that, she turned around and left, her good impression of Ye Lingtian completely gone.
Ye Lingtian pulled Wu Fangfang back and said with a small face, "I understand Teacher Wu's feelings, but I can't take back the money I spent. If I leave like this, it would be too much of a loss!" It's true that I want to live with my dignity, but if you think about it, it's a sign of my gratitude. "
