Chapter 498 Just colleagues
In the quiet community behind the Public Security Bureau, there are residential buildings scattered in an orderly manner. Luo Jinxi's private residence is hidden among them, warm and comfortable. At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window, gently sprinkled on every corner of the living room, covering the whole room with a layer of golden gauze.
Pei Huiping was wearing a cute little chef's skirt and concentrating on preparing dinner in the open kitchen. His eyes were focused, and the kitchen knife in his hand rose and fell rhythmically on the chopping board, making crisp sounds. Along with the aroma of fresh ingredients, the whole kitchen was filled with the taste of home.
Luo Jinxi lazily lay on the soft sofa, holding a mobile phone in his hand, chatting with Wu Lan, who was far away in Kuncheng, on WeChat. Wu Lan's concerned face was clearly visible on the mobile phone screen. Wu Lan frowned slightly and asked with a worried tone: "Jinxi, the G City news reported Mu Xiaoji's car accident yesterday, which scared me. Did you go to the hospital to see him? How badly is he injured?"
Luo Jinxi sighed softly, a bitter expression emerged on his face, and he said slowly: "Now that things have come to this, Xiaolan, don't be too sad. His life is not in danger for the time being, he just has multiple skin injuries all over his body, and the doctors have already sutured them carefully. It's just... the most heartbreaking thing is..." At this point, Luo Jinxi's voice gradually became low, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.
When Wu Lan heard Luo Jinxi say this, her heart skipped a beat. Her tone slowed down unconsciously. She was so nervous that even her breathing seemed to stagnate. She quickly asked, "What is the most troublesome thing? Tell me quickly!"
Luo Jinxi bit his lip and said with a heavy voice, "Yes... His right leg, which was not very agile to begin with, was cut off by the glass in the car accident. The injury was so serious that the doctor said there was no way to save him..."
At this moment, Pei Huiping placed the carefully prepared meals on the coffee table in the living room one by one, his movements were skillful and elegant. He turned his head slightly, looked at Luo Jinxi with gentle eyes, and said caringly: "Go wash your hands and eat, otherwise it will get cold in a while."
Wu Lan on the other end of the phone was immersed in the bad news about Mu Xiaoji and was very depressed. Suddenly, she heard a man's gentle voice and instantly perked up. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and the depression on her face was instantly replaced by a gossipy expression. She asked with a smile: "Luo Jinxi, what's going on? You're having sex so fast? Tell me the truth, who is this man?"
Luo Jinxi rolled her eyes helplessly and said to the phone, "Don't be so surprised, it's just a colleague. Hey, Xiaolan, I have something serious to tell you."
Wu Lan stuck out her tongue playfully and said with a grin, "Okay, okay, tell me what's the matter."
Luo Jinxi put away his joking expression, and said solemnly with a serious expression: "Yesterday I was in the hospital and heard a friend tell a very strange thing. Jiang Chengyu received a call from a woman. The woman on the phone said: Jiang Chengyu is hers, and she called to confirm that he is still alive. This sounds very wrong. Xiaolan, you have a wide network of contacts. Can you help me check who Jiang Chengyu had contact with when he was in Kuncheng before, or whether he had any enemies with anyone. You don’t know how nervous Mu Xiaoji is. He even hired a private bodyguard to protect Jiang Chengyu every step of the way."
When Wu Lan heard this, her jaw dropped in surprise. She widened her eyes and said, "Ah? Is this true? This is too bizarre. Why don't you just ask Song Shijie? During the three years when they were separated due to a misunderstanding, didn't Jiang Chengyu live with Song Shijie to take care of Chou Bao? Song Shijie must know something."
Luo Jinxi sighed, rubbed her temples slightly irritably, and said, "Song Shijie also said yesterday that in the past three years, Jiang Chengyu has been concentrating on taking care of Choubao at home. He has never left the house and has never contacted anyone. This is strange. Who is this woman who suddenly appeared? I have no clue at all. It's really a headache." She frowned, and her eyes revealed deep doubts and worries. The atmosphere in the living room also became more solemn because of this conversation, as if there was an invisible fog, shrouding this seemingly simple question, making people confused.
