You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Zhou Qi said she doesn't remember anything about her experiences during that period. Is she telling the truth?"

Xiao Yao sat up straight: "I think so - I can't really say for sure."

"Then do you know why Teacher Yao became like that?"

"I guess he was stimulated by something. I can't really say." Xiao Yao answered cautiously.

At this time, Xiao Yao's steak was also served.

He followed Liang Yanan's example and protected his front with a large napkin.

"Xiao Yao, what do you think?" Liang Yanan picked up the chopsticks again and picked up a few spaghetti noodles. "Since we are not familiar with each other, why would I give you the address you asked for?"

"Because you are Father Yu's friend?" Xiao Yao thought about it and deliberately answered: "Also because you are a kind and righteous person."

"I don't know if anyone has told you that you are quite good at lying." Although Liang Yanan was wearing tinted glasses and Xiao Yao could not see her eyes, he could still tell from the way she put down her chopsticks and the tenseness of other facial muscles that she was not very happy.

These words made the young man feel uneasy.

"At least, for the next question, I hope you tell the truth." Liang Yanan softened his tone.

"..." Xiao Yao continued to maintain respectful silence and picked up his knife and fork.

I first held the fork in my right hand, then thought it was wrong, so I switched to my left hand, and then to my right hand.

"What do you plan to do after you know where Shen Jie is?" Liang Yanan asked.

Xiao Yao opened his mouth and closed it again.

Liang Yanan was not in a hurry and waited for him to speak slowly.

"No matter what we prepare, we must find a way to restore her freedom in the end." Xiao Yao said this vaguely at last.

"Yu Bo said that you two have broken up?" Liang Yanan said, "You are dating Yu Bo's niece now, right?"

Xiao Yao remained silent, feeling like he couldn't take it anymore.

Fortunately, Liang Yanan did not continue to dwell on this issue: "What are you going to do?"

"I……"

"Let me tell you this," Liang Yanan said, "In my opinion, that place is like a heavily guarded fortress for you."

"How strict can the security be?" Xiao Yao asked Liang Yanan.

"We have the address, go check it out yourself," Liang Yanan smiled, "How do you know you can't do it if you don't try?"

"...Okay." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Thank you anyway, Sister Liang."

"By the way," Liang Yanan raised his eyebrows, "You can try, but I hope you'll be as careful as possible. If you alert the enemy... be careful not to ruin the possibility of trying again after failure."

"Are you so sure that I will fail?" Xiao Yao said stubbornly.

"I don't mind you proving me wrong." Liang Yanan shrugged.

……

Xiao Yao silently began to deal with the steak in front of him, which seemed to be a little cold.

"Oh, right," the boy suddenly thought of something and raised his head again: "You said try again? Do you mean you have a way? Will you help me?"

"Don't forget, we are not familiar with each other." Liang Yanan said, "I am a policeman. Illegally breaking into someone's house and kidnapping a minor will not only cost you your job, but you may even end up in jail. You can get a lighter sentence because you are a minor, but I can't, right?"

"Uh... there's no need to make it sound so serious. You've even brought up all the talk of kidnapping..." Xiao Yao said this, but in his heart he had indeed given up the idea of ​​convincing the other party to help further.

Not to mention that he and Liang Yanan were "not familiar" with each other, even if they were really good friends, there was no reason for him to use morality and human feelings to force the other party to take such a serious risk.

Moreover, strictly speaking, from the perspective of Liang Yanan as a bystander, there is actually no moral or particularly tenable reason to help Xiao Yao.

After all, he was the legal guardian of his daughter. Although it was wrong to force his daughter to get engaged, he did not have to tie her up and send her to someone else's bed tomorrow.

On the other hand, it was a little bastard who actually had no legal status. If something happened to the person after he was brought out, whose responsibility would he be held? If the person got pregnant, whose responsibility would he be held?

This is my war, and I have to face it alone.

One has to be strong and face it all, like a real man, and bear it all.

"I see," Xiao Yao chewed the beef silently, "Sister Liang, I'm very grateful that you can help me to this extent. By the way, how did you get the address?"

Liang Yanan did not answer his question, but put a cigarette in his mouth, and glanced at the waiter who was eager to come up to persuade him, but did not take out the lighter: "But after all, Yu Bo and I are old classmates. With this favor, I think it is not absolutely impossible to help you a little more."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yao raised his head.

"At least, I am 80% to 90% sure that I can let you meet her."

"Is it really possible?" Xiao Yao was overjoyed.

"What happened to Zhou Qi... and Yao Qi..." Liang Yanan leaned forward, took off her glasses, and looked up and down at the boy with interest through her squinting eyes, as if she was a drunk girl in a bar.

Damn it, I knew it, Xiao Yao thought.

Seeing Xiao Yao's embarrassment, Liang Yanan thought that he had actually wavered, and it was not appropriate to be aggressive at this time: "You only need to give me the correct answer to at least one of these two questions - you don't have to answer me in a hurry. When you figure it out, you have my number."

After saying this, Liang Yanan reached out and picked up the note with the address on the table, tore it into eight pieces, put it back in his coat pocket, and stood up: "I'm leaving first, you pay the bill after you finish eating, and we'll be done today."

"Ah...ah." Xiao Yao said.

When Liang Yanan passed by Xiao Yao, she pinched Xiao Yao's shoulders twice, put on her sunglasses, and left.

"Hiss—it hurts." Xiao Yao murmured to himself and complained, rubbing his shoulders: "Waiter, pay the bill!"

"Hello sir, the total is 678 yuan, do you need a receipt?"

"What's going on? The steak set costs more than 300 yuan. They know I'm a middle school student but they still rip me off. Sigh..." Xiao Yao took out his China Construction Bank zodiac card distressedly. "If I had known, I wouldn't have ordered my own portion. I would have ordered a glass of water instead."

Xiao Yao walked out of the door of "Wangpin Steak".

The address Liang Yanan gave was in the western suburbs.

At this moment, the young man wished he could grow wings and fly directly to the western suburbs.

Fly to her side immediately.

But if you think about it carefully, at this time, it will probably be almost ten o'clock by the time you take a taxi to the western suburbs.

If we go to check out the place at night... well, it seems a bit difficult no matter how you think about it.

But if I am blind at night, will the security guard also be blind?

Hmm, maybe they have night vision equipment?

There is no such thing!

Xiao Yao turned around three or four times and decided to be cautious.

He took a taxi and went straight to Yu Luying's home.

"Hello? Ping, I'm downstairs at your house. It's too late so I won't go up. Can you come down?"

With a creak, the small wooden door downstairs in Yu Luying's house opened, and a girl wearing bare feet and slippers and a nightgown walked out.

"Here you go." Xiao Yao stuffed the two bottles of red wine in his arms into Yu Luying's arms.

"What is this for?" Yu Luying was stunned.

"Take it up and give it to your mother, and tell her that it is a gift from me to show my filial piety." Xiao Yao said.

"You have a lot of money?" Yu Luying said.

"No, it's included in the fucking steak set." Xiao Yao said.

"You are eating Wangpin today, right?" Yu Luying said.

"Oh my miss, it's great. You can even taste it." Xiao Yao said.

"How did your talk with Sister Liang go? Did she give you the address? Why did I feel like you were fighting with her again?" Yu Luying asked.

"No, no," Xiao Yao said, "He just pressed my shoulder twice when he left."

Xiao Yao dictated to Yu Luying the exact record of his conversation with Liang Yanan at "Wangpin Steak" today.

"Then you have to discuss this matter with my uncle, don't act recklessly." Yu Luying said after listening.

"I can take care of myself." Xiao Yao said, "Don't worry, I didn't say anything to her."

"Uncle should be asleep by now," Yu Luying said, "We'll go there early tomorrow morning, and then I'll accompany you to the western suburbs."

"I can go by myself." Xiao Yao said.

"No, I'll go with you," Yu Luying objected after thinking for a moment, "Johns and Shen Jie's father have both seen you. Once they find you hanging around there, things might change. You just wait far away, and I'll get closer to investigate."

"Well... that's fine," Xiao Yao said, "but I'll have to trouble you again."

"Hmm." Yu Luying made a negative sound through her nose: "Now that things have come to this, don't say such things anymore. You, me, and Shen Jie, we are all partners, aren't we?"

Partner...that's great.

"Yes," Xiao Yao said, "I suddenly remembered that someone told me yesterday that my mother-in-law, Shen Jie's father, is going out tomorrow. If he's not around, will it be better?"

Yu Luying shook her head and said, "I don't know - maybe not. If the housekeeper is at home, it doesn't matter whether Shen Jie's father is there or not, right?"

"That's right." Xiao Yao thought to himself, no one would bring a butler with them when going abroad to discuss business... right?

"Okay, let's do this for now," Yu Luying said as she held the red wine bottle in one hand and reached behind her with the other hand. Like a magic trick, she handed over a black bag of something in a transparent plastic bag. "Go home to rest early tonight and get enough strength. We'll fight again tomorrow."

"Uh." Xiao Yao took the package and recognized that it was the black socks that Yu Luying wore today. They were neatly folded in a transparent plastic bag. He was a little dazed.

"Wash the gray pair and return them to me tomorrow," Yu Luying said, "and one more thing."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yao asked.

“You can bring…bring…bring your underwear to me in the future,” Yu Luying looked down at her toes, “I have to wash them every day anyway, so I’ll wash them for you.”

"No," Xiao Yao quickly shook his head and said, "I don't want to really treat you as Cinderella."

"Just give it to me when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much?" Yu Luying said angrily.

Xiao Yao suddenly began to doubt whether she really wanted to take it away to wash it.

"Call me when you get back... Do you understand?" Yu Luying turned around, holding two bottles of red wine in her arms, and said in a low voice with her back to Xiao Yao.

Before Xiao Yao could answer, he ran into the door as if escaping and locked it with his foot.

"boom!"

You, you're not? What's going on? Xiao Yao held the package in his hand, a little dazed.

Is this how you tell me to conserve my strength?

Xiao Yao returned home and called Yu Luying as agreed. He then washed the pair of black socks and hung them up to dry. He then took down the dried grey socks, rolled them into a ball, and stuffed them into the transparent plastic bag.

Xiao Yao suddenly had a feeling that the girl who once wore only plain white cotton socks had been soiled by his own hands.

Before going to bed, he sent several QQ messages to Shen Jie, telling her that he would come to rescue her soon.

The next morning, Yu Luying called Xiao Yao to wake him up, and the two rushed to the Sacred Heart Church to meet Yu Bo.

Xiao Yao reported everything about yesterday's meeting to Yu Bo, except for the part where Liang Yanan asked him about his relationship with Shen Jie.

"What should we do now?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Well, let me think about it." Yu Bo rubbed his temple and said, "Go ahead and do what you want to do, but be careful not to go too far. If you are not sure, don't cause trouble, and don't get yourself into trouble."

"Okay." Xiao Yao said.

Yu Bo had his own plans in mind.

At that time, he and Liang Yanan met again after a long separation, and he didn't know her position and background. Besides, she was a member of the "official family" after all. Therefore, he adopted a more cautious and conservative strategy and did not reveal anything about "that world" to her.

Over the past few days, the two had some contact. Yu Bo felt that Liang Yanan was still the same Liang Yanan, so he began to deliberately reveal some things to her to test the waters.

After all, the "organization" also believes that when dealing with these supernatural cases, it is not a bad thing to get secret support and assistance from within the police and from the official authorities.

only……

Yu Bo believed that he had to be extremely cautious when dealing with the authorities. After all... even if they could "believe", he couldn't judge whether they were more interested in "resisting the shadow" or combating "illegal organizations abroad".

Now that Liang Yanan was so enthusiastic and even used this as a condition to force Xiao Yao to "cooperate", this made Yu Bo somewhat hesitant.

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying said goodbye to Yu Bo and boarded the bus heading towards the western suburbs.

In the car, Xiao Yao returned the gray cotton socks in the transparent plastic bag to Yu Luying: "Here."

"What about yours?" Yu Luying asked him.

"Ah... do you really want it? I, I, I, will go back and get it for you." Xiao Yao was still a little embarrassed.

"Have you washed this?" Yu Luying turned the bag of socks in her hand over and over again with some suspicion.
