Last night, Long Xinyu drove out of the company and ran into Xiang Ze, who was driving back to the company, at the entrance. Both of them were in their cars. Long Xinyu rolled down the car window and told Xiang Ze something. At this time, Long Xinyu saw Luo Pingping standing across the street in the distance, staring at him gloomily. When she saw him looking over, Luo Pingping showed a strange smile on her pale face.
Then she made a throat-cutting gesture with her hand on her neck, a clear threat. Long Xinyu quickly called Xiang Ze to look, but in the blink of an eye, Luo Pingping was gone. Xiang Ze looked back from the car, but didn’t see anyone. Then Xiang Ze and Long Xinyu got out of the car and looked across the street, but they didn’t find anyone either, making Long Xinyu think he had seen a ghost, and he got goosebumps all over. However, Long Xinyu firmly believed that dead people would not reappear, and that someone must be scaring him, so he cursed a few times.
Then, Xiang Ze was too talkative and reported this matter to Long Xiuyu—Long Xiuyu was having dinner with his parents at home, so Long Xinyu’s threat and seeing a “ghost” was known to Long’s parents.
Since the last Li Xu incident, Long Xinyu dragged Rao Xian back from the brink of death. The Long family was very angry, but the instigator Li Xu burned herself to death, and Min Bocai had a stroke and was hospitalized. No one knew what Li Xu had added to his medicine. The current Min Bocai was like a vegetable, unresponsive, neither alive nor dead. There was no way to investigate Li Xu and Xu Ming’s identities and pasts.
No one knew what Li Xu was thinking. She set up a trap, killed people, painstakingly captured Long Xinyu, arranged roses, and sprinkled gasoline, but in the end, she stabbed Long Xinyu and let him go. This woman’s behavior had no logic to follow. Long Xinyu only thought he had encountered a madwoman, but his family was nervous for a while. During the days when Long Xinyu was hospitalized, they wanted to arrange a string of bodyguards at the door of the hospital room. If Long Xinyu hadn’t stopped them, his family would have probably blockaded the hospital.
Fortunately, with Li Xu’s death, things had been calm for the past few months, and the family slowly relaxed their “protection” of him when they saw that nothing was happening—in Long Xinyu’s view, these few months were almost like surveillance plus imprisonment.
This is also why Long Xinyu was willing to convince himself that it was a prank after receiving items like skulls, bloody clothes, and puppet dolls. He didn’t want a string of bodyguards following him wherever he went.
Now, his father and his brother knew that Luo Pingping, who was clearly already dead, had appeared, and they subjected Xiang Ze to “torture to extract a confession.” Xiang Ze not only told them about “Luo Pingping,” but also confessed about the threatening items mailed to the company. Long’s father was terribly nervous and sent someone to Long Xinyu’s apartment yesterday to take him home. Thinking of his old man’s extreme paranoia.
Long Xinyu found an opportunity to slip out. Originally, he planned to go to “seek refuge” with Wenren Ying or Li Guang, but he knew that his father could also think of the people he could think of. Long Xinyu was also worried that if he ran around, there would be real danger. So, after thinking it over, the Second Young Master Long felt that Rao Xian was a better person to seek refuge with and could also ask for help.

After all, Rao Xian is a policeman, and his identity has no deterrent effect; moreover, Rao Xian has no “life-or-death” relationship with him and would not put him in danger; the most important thing is that Rao Xian would not “betray” him.
He secretly ran out, and Long’s father’s firepower must be aimed at Wenren Ying and Li Guang. If he hid with Wenren Ying and Li Guang, these two would most likely “betray” him when facing his father, but Rao Xian had no such worries because his father did not know Rao Xian and could not suppress Rao Xian as an elder, so Rao Xian’s place was temporarily safe.
In summary, Rao Xian’s place is a safe and perfect foothold that is not easily caught by his father!
After listening to Long Xinyu’s analysis, Rao Xian really wanted to slap him: “What exactly are you thinking?”
Long Xinyu, seeing that Rao Xian’s expression was not bad, didn’t quite understand: “Didn’t you just analyze it with me?”
Rao Xian, seeing Long Xinyu’s confused look, supported his forehead: “Have you considered how serious this matter is?”
“How serious can it be?” Long Xinyu didn’t think so, he didn’t know what Rao Xian was worried about.
Rao Xian took a deep breath and told himself that this young master was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was spoiled by his family. He had to reason with him. After calming down, Rao Xian analyzed the nature of the situation with Long Xinyu: “Luo Pingping is already dead, right?”
Long Xinyu nodded.
“You’re sure you saw her, not that you were seeing things, right!”
Long Xinyu continued to nod.
“What does this mean?”
Long Xinyu said matter-of-factly: “Someone wants to pretend to be Luo Pingping to scare you, and, successfully scared you.”
“You think it’s that simple?”
“Then what else!”
Rao Xian looked at Long Xinyu, unable to understand how this person could still be so “no big deal” after experiencing the Li Xu incident. But like Long Xinyu said, the two of them had a “life-or-death” relationship. This person, whether it was protecting Li Xu when he was a child, helping Luo Pingping out of trouble when he grew up, or saving that little girl during the shooting in the restaurant, showed that he was a person with a strong sense of justice and protectiveness. Also, when Li Xu pushed them off the boat, Li Xu wanted to let Long Xinyu go, but it didn’t mean she wanted to let him go, so she didn’t cut open the restraints on his hands.
At that time, Long Xinyu was injured. Long Xinyu could have ignored himself at that time, but Rao Xian always remembered that Long Xinyu dragged him towards the shore. The seawater irritated the wound on his body so much, his hands were tied, and he wanted to give up, but Long Xinyu pulled him out of the water again and again to breathe, without considering abandoning him at all—this person, even in desperate situations, never thought of escaping by himself.
Even Rao Xian himself didn’t know if he would choose to save Long Xinyu when the shooting happened if he could choose again, but Long Xinyu still chose to take him to escape during the Li Xu incident—there are not many such “idiots”!
Therefore, he also didn’t want anything to happen to Long Xinyu.
So Rao Xian calmed down and patiently explained to Long Xinyu: “Crime is a continuous development result. Some criminal acts often only occur at a certain moment in a person’s life and are sudden, but some criminal acts are the accumulation of some behaviors. You received those threatening items, which were malicious. If you let it go and don’t investigate, it is likely to cause the escalation of the behavior, and the reappearance of Luo Pingping, who is already dead, whether it is someone pretending to be her, will not have good intentions towards you. These may eventually lead to ordinary crimes evolving into vicious cases.”
Long Xinyu suspected that Rao Xian was exaggerating. He frowned his heroic eyebrows: “It won’t be, right? Li Xu is dead, and she killed Luo Pingping. You haven’t done anything bad, so why would anyone want to harm you? Also, the way I am now, it’s especially like giving a lecture.”
“My legs are like this now, and I’m not suitable for investigating cases on the front line anymore. There’s an advanced exam in criminal psychology next year. Because of the Li Xu case, I’ve become interested in criminal psychology. If I pass that exam, I might switch to clerical work.” Rao Xian replied to Long Xinyu, only to realize that he had almost let him lead the topic astray.
He saw Long Xinyu looking indifferent and got a little angry: “Don’t say those useless things. Luo Pingping’s death was quite a hot topic online for a while. That well-intentioned editing is also circulating online. Our Long family is small, but we can join forces with Li Guang to suppress the news, but because Li Xu is dead, many things have no evidence to publicly release the investigation results, so the public perception is that you are very likely to be regarded as the murderer who harmed Luo Pingping and Min Jun, attracting attacks from extremists. My family is so nervous for a reason!”
Long Xinyu looked surprised: “Ah?” He never thought that it wasn’t him who did it, and he himself was the victim, but he would be regarded as the murderer.
Rao Xian: “Do you know how serious things are?”
Long Xinyu nodded solemnly: “I know,” then smiled mischievously, pointed his finger at the kitchen: “I also know that the water you’re boiling is boiling!”
Rao Xian turned his head, and sure enough, the water in the pot in the kitchen was bubbling over. He slowly got up and went to the kitchen to make noodles.
Rao Xian’s cooking skills are average, all thanks to the spicy hot pot base and sesame sauce, but it’s actually quite delicious.
Long Xinyu said while slurping noodles: “After this analysis by me, you feel that you can’t condone and indulge, and you should pull out the person who sent you things and pretended to be Luo Pingping. That’s the root cause. Could the person who pretended to be Luo Pingping send you things?”
Rao Xian said while eating: “Not necessarily. Where are those things? I’ll go with you to take a look tomorrow. If necessary, say hello to Shao Hui and the others, don’t wait for the situation to become serious!”
Long Xinyu said disdainfully: “Who would keep those bloody things? I threw them away a long time ago.”
Rao Xian couldn’t help but want to splash a bowl of noodles on Long Xinyu’s face: “That’s evidence, maybe you can find out who’s threatening you, you…”
Long Xinyu “pfft” and laughed: “What’s the hurry? I’m kidding you. Since the Li Xu incident, I’ve been very smart. Those messy things, you had the assistant put them away. You spent a few months in the hospital with me anyway, listening to my subordinates discussing the case with me when they had nothing to do. You learned a lot!” His tone was full of smugness.
Rao Xian was helpless with such a Long Xinyu. He glared at Long Xinyu irritably before saying: “Eat quickly, wash the dishes after eating, I’ll go with you to take a look tomorrow.”
“Okay!” Long Xinyu agreed, and then wanted to protest. He was a guest, why should he wash the dishes? Then he reacted and smiled: “So, you agreed to take me in?”
Rao Xian sighed helplessly: “You, Second Young Master Long, have condescended to come to seek refuge, can I still chase you out? But you should still say hello to your family after sneaking out, so they don’t worry.”
“Okay!” Long Xinyu agreed in one breath. He felt that the current Rao Xian had more of a human touch than he did during the months he lived in the hospital. So, washing the dishes is washing the dishes!
Night, under the flashing neon lights, seemed to carry the taste of blood. The bright lights could not cover up the No jealousy of the darkness.
Li Guang sat on the sofa, shaking the champagne in his glass, watching the people twisting in the dance floor.
The small hall, decorated gorgeously, was full of colored lights, flowers, crystal tassels, and a large stage. There was a band playing below, and not far away there was a large pool spraying water.
The long table by the pool was decorated with flowers and ribbons. Food and wine were arranged in rows, like a buffet dinner—a very common party layout.
A movie invested by Li Guang’s company became a hit, so there was this Party.
Li Guang finished the champagne in his glass in one gulp, beckoned the waiter to put the empty glass on the waiter’s tray, and wanted to get another glass, but the champagne that had just reached his hand was intercepted halfway by a slender hand. The owner of the hand was a very beautiful woman, her face flushed, smiling, she put Li Guang’s wine back on the waiter’s plate, and went to pull Li Guang: “President Li, drinking alone is so boring, let’s dance!”
Li Guang refused with a thick smile and came to get the wine from the tray again.
The woman pouted, picked up the wine in one hand, and then sat down beside Li Guang with the glass, her body softly leaning towards Li Guang, and brought the wine to Li Guang’s mouth.
Li Guang turned his head to look at the boy’s charming face. The boy almost snuggled into Li Guang’s arms, his voice lazy: “Since President Li wants to drink, then I’ll accompany you!”
Li Guang smiled, did not push away the soft body that was leaning on him, but pushed away the wine that was sent to his lips, and leaned over to her ear and said: “Luo Wenwen, are you drunk, or is this your true nature? You and your sister are really not alike!”
Luo Wenwen turned her head and looked at Li Guang’s angular face in the flashing lights. She lightly licked the corner of her mouth with her tongue, swaying the wine in her hand, her eyes blurred and said: “It’s good to drink less, it’s good to be yourself, it’s all you, your sister is your sister, you are you, do you like my sister or do you like me?” Her voice carried a hint of charm.
Li Guang looked at Luo Wenwen, the woman’s skin was fair and her eye makeup was slightly thick, her eyes were very bright.
Li Guang said coolly: “Luo Pingping took the jade girl route, which is different from my style, but I appreciate her very much.”
Luo Wenwen’s eyes narrowed slightly, the grafted false eyelashes were very long, casting a shadow under her eyes, making her eyes dark and unclear, but her voice was still so charming: “President Li, does the meaning in your words mean that you don’t appreciate me? How unromantic, how much it hurts my heart?”
Li Guang said meaningfully: “I have signed a contract with the company, it is good to do your job well, heartbreak is always better than hurting your wallet.”
Luo Wenwen giggled, her tone full of coquettishness, she leaned close to Li Guang’s ear and said: “That’s right, you are my boss, then I have to thank President Li for signing me and giving me food to eat!”
As she approached, a faint fragrance lingered in Li Guang’s nose. Li Guang did not push away Luo Wenwen, who was almost lying on him, but his eyes were more intriguing.
Seeing that Li Guang did not cater to her, Luo Wenwen smiled charmingly, drank the champagne in her hand in one gulp, blew a breath of alcohol on Li Guang’s face and said: “I’m going to touch up my makeup, I’ll chat with President Li later.” Saying that, she got up from the sofa and walked away swaying.
Li Guang sat on the sofa, watching Luo Wenwen’s back, still with the strong, charming, and soul-stirring fragrance in his nose. He frowned slightly and beckoned to a young man in a suit, with his hair combed neatly, who had been paying attention to the situation here not far away.
The young man hurried over and said ingratiatingly: “President Li, what are your orders?”
Li Guang raised his chin slightly, pointing at Luo Wenwen’s back that was turning away and said: “Liang Qin, isn’t Luo Wenwen Luo Pingping’s sister, how can there be such a big difference in appearance and temperament?”
Liang Qin explained diligently: “Ah, girls, the makeup is different, the difference in temperament is big. Wenwen is only one year younger than Pingping. After Pingping is gone, I contacted her, and she said that she wanted to sing and act like her sister. I think she looks good. Although she is not from a professional background, she is very smart and has strong plasticity. I thought about using Pingping’s popularity to package her and sign her.”
Li Guang glanced at Liang Qin and said: “It was me who brought Luo Pingping to Long’s wine party, Luo Pingping had an accident, and the gossip and public opinion wrote nonsense. You see that I handled it well, and Luo Pingping also died in vain, so you agreed to sign someone from our economic company again. This Luo Wenwen, I want you to take good care of her, don’t let her go astray when she’s signed in the company!”
Liang Qin nodded and bowed: “President Li, you are right, you are right, I will go back and talk to her!”
Li Guang nodded and sent Liang Qin away.
