” … let them eat first. there’s still a bit of traffic right now, so they’ll probably be back at 12:30. ”

” i know. how are things over there? ” fu chen stood in the yard. perhaps he had been doing this for a long time, but his hand kept wanting to touch something. he picked up a pair of scissors used to trim the flowers and casually cut off a bud on the branch.

” i’m not too sure. there shouldn’t be a problem. i just feel that it’s strange. why would a reporter go to her house? ”

“such remarkable words? wouldn’t it be more explosive if he just directly revealed it? why do you want to go to their house to verify?”

” he also said some unpleasant things. his parents thought that dr. xu and lin bai had an improper relationship, so they rushed over and hit him without a word. ”

……

everything had happened too suddenly just now, and he didn’t have time to think about it. now that he thought about it, he felt that there were many suspicious points about this matter.

if the reporters had really captured something, they could have made a profit by directly exposing it or asking duan linbai to pay for the photos. there was no need to go through so much trouble.

fu chen narrowed his eyes. ” i’m afraid … ”

someone had dug a hole, and everything that had happened before was just a foreshadowing.

after the appetizer was served, it was time for the main course.

he had always been far-reaching, and he didn’t think that things would be the same as he thought. he frowned slightly and his hands moved even faster.

on the side, shi fang was already dumbfounded and really wanted to stop him.

my third master, if you continue like this, half of the flowers in this garden will be ruined.

“afraid of what?” song fengwan pursed her lips.

“it’s fine. i’ll wait for you to come back.” fu chen was also worried that he was overthinking and that song fengwan would be worried for nothing.

he hung up the phone and turned to look at shi fang. ” “how’s the matter i asked you to investigate?”

“you mean the reporter who went to doctor xu’s house?” shi fang bowed and walked over.

“yes.”

” that place is being demolished. apart from the water and electricity supply, many of the surrounding street lamps have been removed. the surveillance cameras have also been removed. it’s also very chaotic there and the personnel is complicated. it’s difficult to investigate. ”

“you asked the jing clan?”

” there’s no news from sixth master’s side for the time being. it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. it’ll probably be difficult for the jing family to find out. i wonder which reporter is so bold. ” shi fang couldn’t help but ridicule.

“i’m just afraid it’s not a reporter.” fu chen muttered.

“what did you just say?” shi fang really didn’t understand what he meant.

how could he not be a reporter?

” actually, it’s very difficult for normal people to tell whether a reporter is real or fake. you might think that he’s real just because he’s carrying a camera. even if he shows his id, ordinary people are afraid that they’ll shamelessly tell. ”

shi fang furrowed his brows. ” third master, what are you worried about? ”

fu chen was about to speak when he heard old fu’s bell-like voice behind him.

” you’re so wicked. i’ve just said a little bit, how did you end it … ” the old man was so anxious that he even started to speak in local dialect.

fu chen held the scissors, looking confused.

“don’t pretend to be innocent, you brat. we’ve caught you red-handed!” master fu was furious.

this wicked little rascal, couldn’t he see him raising some flowers and taoming his sentiments?

“i’m just fixing it for you. don’t you think it’ll look better after it’s done?”

“get lost!” master fu was furious. this kid was trying to piss him off.

“what’s wrong? isn’t it embarrassing to be so noisy in the middle of the day?” the old lady walked out and looked at the flower. was this third brother a destructive maniac? “third brother, when will wanwan be back?”

” there’s a traffic jam. you guys eat first. second brother and second sister-in-law have something to do in the afternoon. i’ll wait for her. ”

they were all family, so there was no need to be so polite.

” hehe, what are you eating for? just leave some food for wanwan. this kid won’t let you eat. if you want to eat, go back to your own house! ” the old man waved his hand and entered the house in a huff.

fu chen looked at the flowers on the ground and frowned slightly. was there a need to be so angry?

……

after song fengwan hung up, qian jiang suddenly coughed and said, ” “miss song, i wasn’t the one who was in charge of reversing the car just now,”

“what?” song fengwan didn’t expect him to suddenly speak. she was stunned. ” what? ”

” it was young master duan’s own problem. he couldn’t get it out when he drove in and didn’t let me help, so he was delayed in the alley for a long time. ”

song fengwan lowered her head and chuckled. why didn’t she realize that qian jiang was such a serious person?

“i’m third master’s man, so i’m pretty good at all my skills.”

qian jiang was just unhappy. why did duan linbai throw dirty water on him and insist on bringing his third master along?

song fengwan never thought that qian jiang would be such a protective person.

” then why didn’t you expose him on the spot just now? ”

“first, give him some face.” qian jiang grabbed the steering wheel.

“second, i value my life!”

song fengwan laughed out loud.

however, with duan linbai’s temper, he would really rush over and blow his head off. haha …

**

on duan linbai’s side,

he drove straight to his house, but xu jiamu didn’t want to go at first. he said that there was no one at home, and how could she go out with a swollen face?

xu jiamu’s skin wasn’t very good. at that moment, the heat on his face had already subsided, but the swelling hadn’t gone away. on his small, white face, it looked even more frightening.

after arriving at the duan family’s house, duan linbai took some ice from the refrigerator and wrapped it in a plastic bag and a towel. ” do you want to eat anything? i’ll order a takeaway.”

“no need for now.”

xu jiamu was about to take the ice pack from him, but duan linbai reached out to avoid it. ” don’t move, let me do it. ”

“no need … ah yingluo.”

before xu jiamu could finish his sentence, the ice pack landed on her arm. the bone-piercing cold made her cry out in shock, and her whole body trembled.

“what are you doing?”

“don’t move, i’ll do it.”

xu jiamu had no choice but to tuck his hair behind his ears, revealing his face that had been slapped. he looked away uneasily.

duan linbai narrowed his eyes and gently put the ice bag next to her face. her body trembled and she quickly cooled down.

“very cold?”

“a little.”

xu jiamu didn’t know how to face him, especially when it came to family matters. it was always hard to talk about them.

“mu zi,”

“what?” her eyes turned and subconsciously looked at duan linbai, only to find that a certain someone had already leaned over and their noses were touching …

her breathing was intertwined, and she subconsciously held her breath. then, she felt something soft and warm fall on the corner of her lips.

“this ice?”

xu jiamu’s breathing stopped, not knowing how to answer.

duan linbai had already held her face and leaned down …

*

she didn’t know how long the kiss lasted, but when the doorbell rang, he handed her the ice pack. ” put this on yourself first. ”

“yes.”

duan linbai was too carefree and was rarely so serious, causing her heart to beat chaotically because he had just whispered in her ear, ” “i will never let you feel cold.”

xu jiamu’s heart was in chaos.

to her, these words were too cowardly!

she held the ice pack and gently leaned against her face. her whole body was filled with an unknown thing, and her whole body was warm.

the one who rang the doorbell was his assistant, little jiang. he had the password to the duan family’s house, but he was worried that he would come at the wrong time, so he didn’t dare to knock on the door. he had some food, a bag of medicine, and even a bag of loquats in his hand.

he was surprised to see xu jiamu’s swollen face, but when he looked closer, his mouth was swollen too.

she heard that something had happened at home.

other people’s families were in trouble. what was his little boss doing to them?

“everything is here. please take a look, is there anything else you need?” xiaojiang put down the things.

duan linbai counted his things and said unhurriedly, ” you can go now. ”

xiaojiang was speechless. even if he didn’t say it, he wouldn’t be so insensible.

” by the way, send the documents to the house in the afternoon. ”

“alright,” he said. xiaojiang’s phone rang before he could walk out of the duan family’s gate.

closely after that, news came one after another, blowing up the entire capital!
