Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 65: Acting like a spoiled child
"What situation do you want to break?" Tang Butian asked.
Jiang You propped his head up with his hands and looked into the yard. From his position he could just see a corner of the greenhouse. "I want to know, too."
"I don't understand, speak human language."
Jiang You was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and saw Tang Butian lying on the long table with the lower half of his face almost buried in his arms.
Tang Butian added, "I can't think of moving."
"Are you okay?"
"fine."
"Go upstairs and get some sleep? Get some rest?"
“Not sleepy.”
"Want some candy?"
“So full.”
"Are you being coquettish?"
Tang Butian opened her eyes wide.
"That's good," Jiang You patted his chest, then pointed outside the door, "Do you think he can figure it out?"
"have no idea."
Guan Nuo walked back and forth in the greenhouse, constantly bending and unfolding the fingers of his right hand.
The door of the greenhouse was closed.
The sprouts in the flowerpots swayed gently.
Guan Nuo stopped and closed his eyes. In the darkness, countless lines seemed to interweave in front of him, expanding outwards.
Jiang Mo stood up.
Tang Butian sat up straight as if by reflex.
"Don't be nervous," Jiang You waved his hand at Jiang Mo, "If it's still not accurate for me, I think he should study hard and go to the construction site to move bricks after graduation, and stop pretending to be a charlatan."
Jiang Mo went back to his nest.
Tang Butian also continued to lie down.
"I think so. Everything is from one stable state to another. The process may be ups and downs, left and right." Jiang You stood up, walked to the counter, took a yogurt ball from the sugar bowl, peeled it and stuffed it into Jiang Minced's mouth. Then he picked up the bowl and walked back to the long table.
He placed the sugar bowl in front of Tang Butian.
Tang Butian picked up a piece of jelly candy, tore open the wrapper and put it in his mouth.
The sweetness spreads on the tip of the tongue.
The faint taste of blood in the mouth was covered up.
"You were in a stable state on the mountain," Jiang You said lazily, "Now, it's also stable, right?"
Tang Butian thought about it and said, "If Zhuang Zekun doesn't show up, it will be about the same."
“He’s a bad guy.”
"right."
Jiang You smiled, "As for me, I was sleeping soundly, but he pulled me here," he sighed, "I had a miserable life in the first few years."
"Is it miserable?" The word disbelief was clearly written in Tang Butian's eyes.
"Really, I have to understand the rules here, stand in line, and figure out what I can eat and what I can't eat. It's really hard work." Jiang You touched a chocolate behind him and began to complain, "He came here and just acted like a hands-off boss, pretending to be a little animal..."
A ball of spider silk hit him in the face.
Jiang You pulled it off with his hands, rolled it up and stuffed it into his pocket. "After a few days of peace, my tenant got into trouble and you came."
"Are you blaming me?"
"No, no, I didn't expect to live in peace for long. Do you still remember Sun Fang?"
"Remember, what happened to her?"
"In one area, within one time frame, there will definitely be a few ghosts that will appear. If we expand it a little, there will definitely be a few people or organizations that cross that line and connect with some beings in the chaos," Jiang You said, his voice a little fuzzy, holding a piece of chocolate in his mouth. "The reading club, the Jinghu Club, all of them."
"So you originally didn't plan to care about Lei Yao, Jiang Yunxian and the others?" Tang Butian's eyes were sharp.
"Leader, if you let me manage it, I will do it. If I expand it a little bit, there will always be some beings that can break through the restrictions and enter the rules."
"You mean yourself?"
“Maybe.”
"what happens?"
"Under the influence of Sailor Moon Tang Butian, we will build the four modernizations..."
Tang Butian punched the long table, leaving a shallow mark.
She sat up straight again.
"You are injured, don't get angry," Jiang You advised, "Don't leave hidden injuries at such a young age. When you get old, you can only soak wolfberries in hot water every day..."
Tang Butian raised his chin, "What will happen?"
"I can't tell fortunes, so I'll just stand on your side."
"What does this have to do with Naguannuo's breaking of the situation?"
"He has strong execution ability, is not afraid of trouble, and can endure hardships. In this kind of weather, late at night, he squatted for so long. Although he is too well protected, he is a bit stupid." Jiang You pointed at himself, "As for me, it's better to have less trouble than more. As for you, you are just a responsible person. As for Sun Yu, he wants to do something, but his talent lies in internal coordination and recruiting talents. Well, he will have a hammock to sleep in on Monday..."
Jiang Mo raised his head and glanced at Jiang You.
"You can knit one yourself."
"Okay, okay, I'll buy you one too," Jiang You took out his cell phone, "With him in charge of bumping into things, there's someone to clean up the mess if we get into trouble. We can live in peace now."
"What if he chooses to leave Teko?"
"Leave?" Jiang You raised his voice a little, "We helped him avenge his father's death, and he can just leave if he wants to? Are you kidding? Do you think I'm doing charity?"
"Isn't it?" Tang Butian asked back.
"Found it!" Guan Nuo opened his eyes.
He stepped forward and opened the flower room door.
The sound of water in the pond and the sound of wind blowing through leaves filled his ears.
He took a deep breath of cold air, then walked towards the insect house with a slightly unsteady step.
Tang Butian peeled another fruit jelly candy and put it in her mouth. She said, "The one million raised by Little Naughty was taken away by Lei Yao."
"Have you found out?"
"Yes, Zhu Yigang confessed. After the news that Cen Te wanted to invest in Pa Zi came out, Hui Chen invested a lot of money in Pa Zi. As a result, Pa Zi was investigated and Hui Chen's cash flow was tight. Jiang Yunxian was in urgent need of cash at the time."
"Isn't it used to buy my house?"
Tang Butian did not answer Jiang You's question, but asked: "What would have happened if I had followed this clue and investigated it with all my strength?"
"Find evidence of illegal activities, find evidence of ghost control and harming people, find a series of related companies, and arrest Lei Yao, Jiang Yunxian, and other persons involved in the case in accordance with laws and regulations."
“This could save many lives.”
Guan Nuo stepped into the store. He heard what Tang Butian said and asked, "Are you discussing the Xueshan Lake Resort case?"
"Yeah," Jiang You waved at him, "Come over and sit and chat with me. Have you figured out anything?"
Guan Nuo replied, "Judging from the range, one of the ghosts is wandering near the Yushui District. If I catch this one, I can calculate the location of the other two."
"Can it be accurate to the street level?" Jiang You asked.
Guan Nuo shook his head, "No, but I know the general direction."
"Is that so?" Jiang You was a little disappointed. He turned to look at Tang Butian and said, "Say hello to the Yushui District Police Station?"
"I'm looking for Ji Feng." Tang Bu Tian said, she took out her cell phone.
"Should we take action now?" Guan Nuo asked.
"Let's wait until night. During the day, and on weekends, there will be a lot of people on the road, so it's not convenient."
"How long do we have to wait?"
"Wait until your brother Sun comes and has enough food and drink. It will be dark by then. Let your brother Sun drive us and you can just show us the way."
Guan Nuo said enthusiastically, "Okay."
Chapter 248
After Guan Nuo sat down, Jiang You went to the kitchen to make three cups of black tea, and took out a bag of pine nuts and a bag of almonds.
"Has our New Year goods been distributed yet?" Jiang You asked as he tore off the wrapping paper and poured the nuts onto the table.
"No." Tang Butian said
"Oh, I see..." Jiang You took two paper towels and placed them on the table. He peeled the pine nuts and placed them on top.
Guan Nuo ate a pine nut, drank a sip of black tea, and asked casually, "Brother Jiang, are you not going to open the door recently?"
Jiang You turned his head and Guan Nuo met his gaze. He added nervously, "Yes, just now when I came here, the gate to the yard was closed."
"I've almost cleared out my inventory," Jiang You pointed to the empty shelves. "It's cold and there's not much business. I might as well wait until March or April to see which types sell well and then buy some. By then, the flowers and plants in the flower beds will have grown."
Guan Nuo nodded, and then asked, "How is the business?"
"Business..." Jiang You quickly peeled off a small pile of pine nuts. He pinched the four corners of the paper towel and lifted it up, then stood up, walked to Jiang Mo and put the paper towel on the counter.
He turned around, looked at Guan Nuo and said, "Raising a child now means burning money."
He walked back to sit next to Guan Nuo and said, "Before, in order to get a good school district, I moved my house to Qingshui Bay. I paid tens of thousands in taxes. When he goes to school, the cost will be even higher."
Jiang You complained to Guan Nuo, "He has a weak constitution and is introverted. What if he gets bullied at school?"
“No way…”
"Of course not. Wasn't there a news story about school bullying not long ago?" Jiang You looked at Guan Nuo, "So, Xiao Nuo, when he plays basketball, you must watch him, don't let him get bumped into intentionally..."
Tang Butian supported her head with her hands and looked quietly at the pomegranate tree in the yard.
When it was almost five o'clock, Jiang You suggested going to the restaurant. He said, "Sun Yu said he was out ten minutes ago. Let's go over and order food first."
Guan Nuo, who had been fed with a lot of parenting tips, immediately stood up and said, "Okay."
The Cantonese restaurant is very close to the bug house.
Jiang You asked for a small private room.
Not long after we ordered, Sun Yu arrived. He opened the door of the private room and said, "I'm sorry I'm late. There was a bit of traffic on the road."
After he sat down, Jiang You handed him the bill and menu. "These are what we ordered. You can add two more dishes. We ordered Coke as a drink. See what else you want to drink."
"Let's have Coke," Sun Yu flipped through the menu, "This is a Cantonese restaurant, right? Why does it have boiled fish?"
"Just order it and try it."
"Let's add this." Sun Yu closed the menu, called the waiter in, and ordered more dishes. After the door of the private room was closed, he asked Tang Butian, "Chief, I heard that Xue Shanhu got into trouble again?"
"Three ghosts escaped. Let's go find them after dinner. Guan Nuo will show you the way."
"OK."
The dishes were served one after another. Tang Butian focused on eating the dishes, Jiang You focused on feeding the minced ginger, and Guan Nuo tried to test Jiang You several times, but was either fed a lot of parenting tips or changed the subject by Sun Yu.
After eating, they sent Jiang Mo back to sleep. Then they sat in Sun Yu's car and started looking for ghosts.
Sun Yu drove the car, Guan Nuo sat in the passenger seat and gave directions, while Jiang You and Tang Butian sat in the back seat.
After getting in the car, Jiang You said, "I'll take a nap. Call me when you find them." Then he closed his eyes and leaned his head against the window.
Guan Nuo saw from the rearview mirror that Tang Butian also closed his eyes.
"Which way are we going now?" Sun Yu started the car.
"Drive straight ahead first." Guan Nuo said.
"OK."
The light from the street lamp flashed across Guan Nuo's face.
"Turn left at the next intersection."
"Then..." Guan Nuo bent his fingers, "Keep going straight..."
While waiting at a red light, Sun-woo asked, “Did you calculate it?”
"Yes."
"Did your mother teach you?"
Guan Nuo shook his head and said, "No, I learned it by reading books and taking notes."
"notes?"
"My mother took notes very clearly. There are many practical techniques, as well as some of her improved formulas and mental methods."
The green light came on and the car drove forward again.
"I've read quite a few case files, and your mother was mentioned in them," Sun Yu said.
"files?"
"Well, you're an intern now and you don't have any authority yet. Your mother is very powerful."
Guan Nuo remembered Guan Qingtong's back as she walked down the stairs carrying a suitcase, and worry appeared in his eyes.
Sun-woo noticed his expression and asked, "Is it okay for you to be out so late?"
Guan Nuo shook his head and said, "It's okay. Just go to the path ahead and go in."
"OK."
"Then, have you seen the case file about my father?" Guan Nuo asked.
Sun Yu shook his head. "Your father's should be in the confidential file. I saw that a lot of key information in the file has been redacted."
"Yeah……"
"What to do next?"
"Keep going, we're almost there." Guan's expression turned serious.
Tang Butian opened her eyes.
After driving a few hundred meters forward, Guan Nuo said, "It's probably in this area. Let's get off."
Tang Butian turned her head and looked at Jiang You who was sleeping unconscious. She took the wooden sword and hit him on the shoulder.
No movement.
After hitting it again with force, Jiang You stretched out his hand and grabbed the blade. Then he opened his eyes and saw Tang Butian. "It's you. You scared me to death."
He let go of her hand, "Are we there yet?"
"It's nearby." Guan Nuo said.
Sun-woo pulled over to the side of the road and they got out.
Guan Nuo took a few steps forward and moved a little to the left. He frowned. The originally clear lines in his mind became blurred and unclear.
The streetlight flickered.
" Where?" Tang Butian asked Jiang You.
Jiang You pushed his glasses and said, "I didn't see any spiritual particles."
Hearing Jiang You's words, Guan Nuo said, "I can't have calculated it wrong!"
"Then continue."
Guan Nuo calculated again, and after a few minutes he said, "It's right here."
"There's nothing here, really." Jiang You took out a cigarette from his pocket, took two steps towards the street light and lit it. "You continue to calculate, I'll have a cigarette."
Guan Nuo closed his eyes.
The smoke drifted into his nostrils, and he felt restless and irritable.
The line is completely disconnected.
He opened his eyes and scratched his hair in annoyance, "There is another formula, but I didn't remember it clearly..."
"Why don't you call your mother and ask?" Jiang You suggested.
"No, she..."
"She went to Yanjing to help Zhuang Zekun?"
"If it weren't for you..." Guan Nuo couldn't control his tone for a moment.
"What if it wasn't me?" Jiang You asked back.
"Nothing." Guan Nuo took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. "Maybe it found someone to possess..."
A black cat appeared from nowhere, ran past Guan Nuo's feet, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
"That's it!" Guan Nuo chased after it.
