    ?

    Su Lang put the USB flash drive into his bag, went upstairs, knocked on the door of the study room, and asked, "How's it going, did you find it?"

    However, there was no one in my sister's study

    Where did Xu Peiye go?  Su Lang stood where he was, muttering something strange.  Suddenly, a figure stood behind her as if descending from the sky.

    "Youyou scared me to death." Su Lang turned her head abruptly, stroked her chest, and looked at Xu Peiye.

    Why does this man walk without making a sound?  Besides, her hearing is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people!

    Xu Peiye seemed amused by her undecided appearance.  "Did it really scare you?" He held the door frame with one hand, approached Su Lang condescendingly, and smiled apologetically.

    This action easily enveloped Su Lang under his shadow, and easily reminded Su Lang of Xu Xuanzhe who used a similar action to seduce her in the office that night.

    Su Lang suddenly turned around uncomfortably, walked out of the other party's control, and asked, "Where did you go? Did you find the pen?"

    "Not yet." Xu Peiye seemed to feel her resistance, looked back at her slightly disappointed and said, "I just came out of the study and was going to the next room when you came up."

    "Really? Then you go ahead, and I'll help you too." Su Lang smiled calmly.

    "Thank you." Xu Peiye turned his head and walked towards the next room.

    Staring at his tall and majestic back, Su Lang frowned in confusion.  Is she overthinking?  When she just opened the door and walked in, she clearly felt that there was no trace of being searched in the study!

    and¡­¡­

    Su Lang took advantage of the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but glanced at the study again.  Even on the dusty floor, there are no footprints left by someone walking by.

    Why did this man lie to her?

    "Didn't you say you wanted to help me?" Xu Peiye stood at the door of the next room and said to her with a smile, "Then why are you still standing there?"

    "Oh," Su Lang slapped his forehead and concealed, "I'm just thinking about it. When I came here last time, have I seen the pen you mentioned?"

    Xu Peiye suddenly smiled, turned back into the room without doubting it.

    Su Lang followed without haste, but she was still guessing like a female detective: the room next door is exactly her sister's bedroom.  What is this man looking for in a woman's bedroom?  And sister, will you put a borrowed pen in the bedroom?

    Su Lang squatted in front of the bed, while opening the bedside table that had been tidied up last time, pretending to turn it over with his hands, while secretly watching Xu Peiye behind him from time to time.

    But seeing that he was just looking carefully around Susie's dressing table, he didn't rashly reach out to rummage through the cabinets. His calm and elegant posture made him look like a very educated and modest gentleman.

    "Found it." He suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

    Su Lang quickly stood up, saw him with his back to her, bent down to pick up something from the corner under the dressing table.

    "I couldn't find it in the study, so I guessed that your sister had written something in front of the dressing table, and then, without paying attention, let it roll to the ground. It seems that my reasoning is completely correct!" Xu Xuanzhe took out the silk  Pa wiped it carefully, and smiled contentedly at Su Lang.

    It was a shiny black fountain pen with a round cap and a gold hoop.

    It seems that I am really overthinking!  Thinking that Xu Xuanzhe had satirized her on the phone as a poor detective, Su Lang couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth in self-deprecating.

    "I will treat you to dinner another day!" Xu Peiye said sincerely.

    "No need." Su Lang glanced at the time, for fear of delaying the appointment at noon.

    "Tell me! Where are you going later, I will drive you there." Xu Peiye said again obliged.

    "Will thiswould it be too much trouble for you?" Su Lang was still ashamed for the doubt he had just now.

    "How can it be troublesome. I am still worried about how to spend the next time when I have nothing to do after I send you to your destination." Xu Peiye joked half-truthfully.

    "Then" Su Lang saw that there was still plenty of time, so he proposed, "Can you take a detour to Hongcheng Road for a while before sending me to the Langham Hotel?"

    "Of course no problem." Xu Peiye agreed readily, and walked out of the apartment with her while changing shoes.

    The black r8, carrying a man and a woman with different thoughts, is heading for a new destination quickly.

    However, following the ever-changing scenery outside the window, Su Lang became excited and became more and more restless.

    Hongcheng Road - is her fournbsp;At this time, there was only a faint click from the phone, as if the person on the other end hung up the phone without a trace.

    Su Lang shivered suddenly. The anxiety and uneasiness she felt when she received a call from a stranger in the morning swept over her like a virus.

    "By the way, did you call me two days ago?" She asked reflexively.

    "No!" Xu Peiye didn't understand why she suddenly looked like a different person with a panicked expression.

    As for Su Lang, he clicked on the phone's call history in a panic.  I saw that the phone call I received when I was sick a few days ago was exactly the same as today's number, but it was equally strange.

    Could this be the old devil, or his subordinate's cell phone number?

    Otherwise, in this city, apart from him, Su Lang really can't think of anyone else who would call her number again and again, but keep silent.

    She looked at the phone in dismay, as if there was a voice in her heart, urging her like a demon: take courage, call back once just call back once, maybe you can confirm the identity of the old devil, you don't have to  If you run around looking around like this, you can even ask for it directly from the other party, the child you miss so much!

    "What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable? Or" Xu Peiye saw her pale face and breaking out in cold sweat, glanced at her mobile phone and asked, "Have you received a harassing call?"

    "Nono!" Su Lang came back to his senses, put away his phone in a restless mood, and forced a smile at him, "Maybe I got up too early today, a little hypoglycemia, and dizzy."

    Speaking of dizziness, Su Lang really didn't lie.

    After all, she had just recovered from a serious illness, and her frail body had been tossed this morning, coupled with the repeated harassment and shock of the mysterious phone call, which had already made her feel exhausted and unbearable.

    "Then I'll take you to the hospital!" Xu Peiye never forgot to show his gentlemanly demeanor.

    "No, no need." Su Lang shook his head hastily, "Please, take me to the Langham Hotel as soon as possible! Today's appointment at noon is very important to me."

    "But your complexion looks terrible!" Xu Peiye said worriedly.

    "It's okay. I'll rest for a while, and I should be fine." Su Lang said, closing her eyes, leaning against the back of the chair motionless, continuing to struggle with the question of whether to make a call back.

    Seeing that she couldn't resist her, Xu Peiye had no choice but to start the car and drive towards the Langham Hotel.

    For the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke.

    Until Xu Peiye parked the r8 smoothly at the foot of the Langham Hotel.

    Su Lang unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car with a heavy heart.  He finally couldn't help but asked, "By the way, you haven't told me, what is the last name of the friend you're looking for? Otherwise, how can I look it up for you!"

    Su Lang raised his head, thought for a while, and smiled at him, "Forget it. It's not urgent anyway, let's talk about it later!"

    "That's good!" Xu Peiye raised the corner of his lips, and there was a bit of reluctance in his eyes.

    As if to conceal his reluctance, he subconsciously touched the pocket of his suit, and then his expression changed.

    "What's the matter?" Su Lang cast aside the shadow brought by the old devil and asked.

    Xu Peiye smiled wryly, "Excuse me, have you seen my handkerchief?"

    "Handkerchief?" Su Lang shook his head blankly, "I saw you in the apartment, and you used it to wipe the pen!"

    "I also remember that it seems to be" Xu Peiye looked back into the car, and touched his forehead in a daze, "Could it be that after I wiped it, I just threw it on the dresser."

    Su Lang didn't expect that such a shrewd man like him would sometimes forget things.

    "Fortunately, it's not something important." He tried to smooth things over for himself in embarrassment, "Next time I invite you to dinner, just go around and grab it."

    Su Lang's mind suddenly turned around.

    I'm afraid this man didn't lose his handkerchief, but he was laying the groundwork for the next time he just asked her out!

    Could it be that the second young master of the Xu family has taken a fancy to her?

    Is she so attractive?  Su Lang didn't know what kind of luck he had.

    She hesitated for a moment, then took out the key to her sister's apartment from her bag, and handed it over generously.

    Xu Peiye's expression was slightly surprised, so he didn't reach out to pick it up.

    "Don't get me wrong." Su Lang pursed her lips, and said straightforwardly, "I'll give you the key. First, I think you can find your handkerchief right away when you're free. Second, you also need this key."  Don't return it to me, just return it to your elder brother!"

    It was only then that Xu Peiye suddenly realized: "Su Lang, your sister was my elder brother's fiancee before she was alive, and it's only natural for him to give you a house"

    Before Su Lang could finish his sentence, he interrupted him full of resentment, "Your elder brother has a lot of money, and he thinks it's his business, our Su family can't bear it."

    "This" Xu Peiye saw that her temper was coming up, and he was afraid of setting fire to the mountain, so he had to accept the key: "Alright then! But, I don't guarantee that my elder brother will definitely accept it."
