Chapter 140：

Tang Xi returned to her terrace like a thief, and tiptoedly opened the glass door to enter the room. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

However, closing the door with the backhand and pulling the curtains, she couldn't help but laugh.

When I was in the Zongmen before, I didn't get up in the middle of the night to go out to play. When I was discovered by the master, he scolded and checked whether he was injured. It seemed to overlap with the scene in front of him.

I was just looking for a nominal guardian who could spend a year, but I didn't expect to have more family members, which is actually not bad.

"Woo." The phone made a short earthquake. A few seconds later, it was another click.

Tang Xi was taken aback, looked down and laughed helplessly.

Chu Li: Go to bed now!

Pei Qing: Good night.

These two... Tang Xi sighed and threw the phone to the bedside.

sleep!

The next day was Saturday, and when she got up after nine o'clock in bed, Chu Li had already gone to the city bureau.

"Yun Qi, what kind of gifts do you think Professor Jiang likes?" Tang Xi asked while lying on the sun lounger on the terrace.

"Antique?" Yun Qi didn't think much about it.

"That's right, but I'm still a student, even if I give him antiques, he won't accept them." Tang Xi sighed.

Yun Qi thought for a while, turned around and went to the study to take something out and spread it out on the small table. It was impressively pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Are you asking me to paint by myself?" Tang Xi asked in surprise.

"Your handwriting is better than painting, and writing a handwriting by yourself is just right." Yun Qi said.

"It's been a long time since I practiced calligraphy." Tang Xi stood up excitedly, took off his coat and threw it on the recliner.

Yunqi helped her study ink.

Tang Xi thought for a while, rolled up her sleeves and picked up the brush.

She grew up in the sect, and she was more proficient in writing with a brush than with a pen.

"It's rare that I haven't written for so long, but I have made progress." Yun Qi raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I probably experienced a lot in the past two years." Because it was a calligraphy and painting, Tang Xi signed the contract with the real name "Tang Lingxi", and then wrote the date.

She started her piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy when she was young, but she was taught by Yunqi afterwards. Except for the messy learning of the piano, the other three are pretty good, especially the handwriting.

"Send it for mounting in a while, and you can pick it up tomorrow afternoon." Tang Xi nodded in satisfaction.

She wrote the chairman's "Qinyuan Chunxue", the majestic words are very suitable for her best at hand crazy grass, but it is difficult to see that this is a young girl's words.

"Actually, I prefer the phrase,'Why don't you bury your bones in the sangzi land, there are green hills everywhere in your life". Unfortunately, it is too unlucky for Professor Jiang who has been working under the ancient tomb all the year round." Tang Xi said regretfully.

"..." Yun Qi couldn't laugh or cry.

Tang Xi went back to the room and changed her clothes, just as the ink was also dry.

She carefully rolled up the rice paper, said to Aunt Zhang, and drove out.

After turning around, I found a calligraphy and painting shop, and agreed to pick up the paintings tomorrow afternoon, and then went to the city bureau.

There was nothing wrong, but I went to the logistics department and asked the **** duty for a set of law enforcement equipment, connected to the mobile phone.

Maybe it will be used anytime!

I looked at the time and it was already lunch time.

Tang Xi wanted to go to the cafeteria directly, but just received a text message from Gu Ran. After thinking about it, he drove to the PEI dormitory.

On the side of the road, Gu Ran wore a hooded sweater and pulled up his hat. He carried a guitar bag on his shoulders. He looked like a young man playing music, but I want to know that the guitar bag must contain a knife. .

He opened the door and got into the car, he put his bag under his feet, pulled off his hat, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Why, it's like being a thief." Tang Xi gave him a blank look.

"Isn't it to blame you?" Gu Ran complained, "It was good, but since I watched the video with you, I think everyone is like a rape."

"Puff--" Tang Xi couldn't help laughing.

"But, having said that, I've really gotten irritable these past two days." Gu Ran continued, "Obviously everyone is the same as usual, but I look like nothing is right."

"Young man, you lack social beatings." Tang Xi said sternly.

"Huh?" Gu Ran raised an eyebrow.

"Robbery! Someone robbed the bag!" At this moment, a sharp shout came from behind.

Tang Xi looked back and saw a bloated middle-aged woman running along the sidewalk on high heels. A dozen meters in front of her, a man in a leather jacket and helmet was riding an electric bike flexibly. In the driveway, a red lady's shoulder bag was pulled in one hand.

When Gu Ran saw this, he wanted to get off the car.

"Why, do you still want to use two legs to compare running speed with a battery car?" Tang Xi sneered and stepped on the accelerator.

It was lunch time at noon. There were few cars and people on the road. The battery car twisted its body, deviated from the sidewalk, rushed to the middle of the road, and was about to drive away.

Tang Xi's Lamborghini easily caught up to the speed of the battery car, slammed the steering wheel, got stuck in front of the battery car, and then unexpectedly opened the door.

"Bah!" The battery car was shot and flew out by the door, and slid out two or three meters sideways.

However, Tang Xi was able to calculate the strength, and the rider was wearing a helmet, and the fall was not too heavy, struggling to get up from under the overturned battery car, and crawling across the road to escape to the other side.

Almost at the same time, Gu Ran also opened the door of the co-pilot, perhaps because he thought it took time to go around to the other side of the car. With one hand on top of the car door, he got on the roof of the car neatly, running up, and jumping off again. With the condescending impact, the volley crossed a distance of four or five meters, fell behind the rider, stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of the jacket.

"Boom!" Before the rider could react, he was cut back with his arms and squatted on the ground with heavy pressure.

The onlookers froze for a long time before applause was heard, mixed with whistles.

Gu Ran pressed his knees against the rider's lower waist so that he could not struggle, and pulled the lady's handbag with one hand, and handed it to the middle-aged woman who ran over panting: "Yours?"

"Yes, it's mine, thank you, boy." The middle-aged woman held her bag with a look of gratitude.

Tang Xi got off the car slowly and walked over and threw a pair of handcuffs over.

Gu Ran took the handcuffs to handcuff the person, stood up, and patted the ashes on his pants: "You really have everything in your bag."

"Do you want to come to the Crime Squad? Handcuffs, just take them to play." Tang Xi smiled.

"Come on, Wang Ling is going crazy." Gu Ran shuddered.

The sirens were getting closer and closer, and soon, a patrol car drove over: "Who hit 110?"

Then, seeing the handcuffed rider and the scene of the accident, I felt dumb and said, "Who caught it?"

"We." Tang Xi raised her hand obediently.

"Are you... driving a Lamborghini to catch a thief?" The patrolman looked strange.

"I have money and there is no causal relationship between me and my courage?" Tang Xi tilted his head.

"That's what it said." The naive patrolman, who was obviously an intern, suddenly touched the back of his head.

Tang Xi couldn't help laughing again, and took out her credentials and flashed: "Tang Xi of the city bureau's crime team, that's my colleague. During the vacation, I heard someone shouting to catch the thief. I caught it easily. The report will be sent to you later."

"Ah, it turned out to be a comrade from the city bureau!" The patrolman was taken aback for a moment, and quickly saluted.

"Thank you." Tang Xi waved her hand and got into the car.

Gu Ran got into the car long ago, hiding his merit and fame.

"Speaking of which, next time you will need more handcuffs with logistics, you will need to use them every time you go out." Tang Xi sighed and stepped on the accelerator, reversed the car, and returned to the main lane.

As for the hapless robber, the victim and the crowd of onlookers naturally gave testimony and recorded it.

"Let's talk about it, what can I do?" Tang Xi said.

"Drive your car and find a place to have a meal." Gu Ran replied.

"Okay." Tang Xi was indeed hungry, not hypocritical, turned into an old road, and found a parking space on the side of the road to stop.

What they were looking for was a simple buffet-style meal. The two entered the door and took the plate, quickly picked a few favorite dishes, and sat in a corner with few people.

"Here you are." Gu Ran first opened the guitar bag, took out an envelope and threw it over.

"What?" Tang Xi opened curiously, and shook the envelope upside down.

Suddenly, a small black button-like object fell into the palm of his hand.

Of course, just the small but heavy weight knows that this is definitely not an ordinary button.

"I've seen the miniature law enforcement device of your serious crime team before I noticed that this is not right." Gu Ran said vaguely with food in his mouth.

"This is...a bug?" Tang Xi said after playing with it for a while, "but I have to take it back and check it until I know the specific range of functions and the origin of the model."

"I know if you want to investigate this, or your crime team has a way out." Gu Ran meant that.

"Where did you find it?" Tang Xi asked, and put the listening device into the bag.

"My house." Gu Ran rolled his eyes.

"What?" Tang Xi was stunned.

"I used the method taught by your Chu team to search for interference with mobile phone signals, and as expected, I found that there was an eavesdropping device in my house." Gu Ran said with a calm face.

"You will be bugged, don't you know?" Tang Xi was speechless.

"I don't know about this kind of high technology, let's talk about it..." Gu Ran looked at her angrily. If you go to southern Xinjiang and stay away for two days, anyone can come in and pretend!"

"However, your dormitory has an enchantment, and outsiders can't enter. As expected, there is still an insider." Tang Xi said.

"However, if there is a bug, it is not ruled out that there are other places in the dormitory. The **** may not necessarily be among the people present that day." Gu Ran said with a headache.

"But you can't search the entire dormitory directly." Tang Xi pointed out.

"So, what do you think?" Gu Ran asked.

"Yeah..." Tang Xi bit his chopsticks and fell into deep thought, before saying for a long time.

"Huh?" Gu Ran puzzled.

"Next week." Tang Xi didn't continue the topic, but said, "I will go to Chu Li to check the source of the bug, and then see if there is any other way-after all, even if all the people are removed to let you Search, you can’t find a button in a building to eavesdrop on it like this."

"Okay, then leave it to you. If you have a way, call me." Gu Ran said, and couldn't help sighing, "Speaking of it, it's better to be in Nanjiang. There are so many troubles. There is also water in the south of the Yangtze River. Too muddy, not happy."

"Do you want to go back?" Tang Xi asked.

"Well... if you come, you will be safe." Gu Ran thought for a while, and shrugged, "I'm on the thief ship. It's not my style to escape halfway."

"Then I am ready to inform you." Tang Xi stood up.

"..." Gu Ran was stunned looking at the empty plate opposite.

Obviously I didn't see you gobbled it up. Where did you eat all your food?

"Let's go." Tang Xi waved her hand, still turning the car key with her fingertips.

The next day was the weekend, Tang Xi left the bug about the device to Chu Li for investigation without burden, and went out with her bag on her own.

Now that she had an appointment with Pei Qingzhi, she did not drive by herself. In order to meet Professor Jiang’s preferences, she chose a light gray cashmere dress, leggings, lambskin boots, a white cashmere coat and long hair, and a beret of the same series as the dress. , Plus an orange silk scarf embellished, exquisite and elegant.

"I heard that Professor Jiang is going to close his disciples." Pei Qingzhi said.

Tang Xi couldn't help laughing: "It's not me anyway, I'm actually not interested in archaeology."

"I thought you actually liked those things with historical heritage." Pei Qingzhi said.

"I like it, but... just appreciate it." Tang Xi sighed, "To be honest, I have no patience. For example, in order not to damage the underground cultural relics, a pit needs to be dug carefully with a small shovel for a long time. Become me, impatiently going down with a thunder curse and exploding the soil."

"What do you plan to do after graduation?" Pei Qing asked, "Presumably you don't want to open an office or accept commissions."

"It's hard to tell." Tang Xi said with a relaxed expression, "It's still early, but it's not too late to think about it. Besides, it's not a big deal even if you don't have a superficial career."

"It's fine if you don't mind... By the way, I have something to tell you." Pei Qing said.

"Say."

"My aunt's family is back." Pei Qing said.

"Last time you said that the old man let go and they came back for the New Year, but why is it so early? Didn't Li Qingxue and her brother go to school?" Tang Xi asked in surprise.

"It's summer vacation in Australia." Pei Qingzhi is even more strange.

"I forgot." Tang Xi held his forehead.

"It's here, just ahead." Pei Qingzhi turned the car into a small road, but when he turned his eyes, he frowned slightly.

"What's the matter?" Tang Xi noticed the change in his breath.

"No, I just happened to see the car I knew." Pei Qingzhi said.

"Since it's the shop you introduced, it must be very famous. Pei's Christmas ball is coming soon. It's not surprising to meet a few celebrities." Tang Xi disapproved, and joked, "Isn't it always Mr. Pei's old peach blossom? "

"There is no such thing." Pei Qingzhi glanced at her calmly.

"Then what are you frowning." Tang Xi jumped out of the car and looked up at the sign that was a bit dated. It was actually written in handwriting, which should be a century-old shop.

"Last time you didn't come, you told me not to sell manuscripts. The teacher who made you Hanfu has wanted to see you for a long time." Pei Qing chuckled.

"Then he wants to see Yun Qi." Tang Xi pushed the door in.

"Dingling~" The crisp wind bell rang, making it even more obvious that this store has traces of history.

"..." The smile on Tang Xi's face was a bit stiff.

There are indeed acquaintances in the store, or two.

"Cousin?" The two girls turned their heads when they heard the voice, and said in unison.

Fu Xiao and Li Qingxue.

Tang Xi suddenly thought it was a bit funny. A cousin, a cousin, actually went to play together?

"The circle in Jiangnan City is so small." Pei Qingzhi was helpless.

"Isn't this...Miss Tang?" Fu Xiao smiled and stepped forward, "Yes, it's Tang Xuemei now, but I haven't lived in the dormitory, but I haven't seen it since the beginning of school. It's a roommate. ."

"Hello." She said a lot, Tang Xi just nodded, and returned two words.

"Cousin, did you bring your school girl here to order dresses?" Fu Xiao asked curiously.

"Well, my female companion." Pei Qingzhi affirmed.

"Why?" Li Qingxue raised her head with a gloomy expression, "Isn't the cousin's female companion always me for so many years?"

"I don't know you will be back before Christmas." Compared to her excitement, Pei Qingzhi's tone was calmer than ever.

"Then I'm back now, so I don't need her anymore." Li Qingxue said immediately, "Cousin, I have cooperated with you for so many years, so I don't have a tacit understanding with someone else?"

"Indeed, you have cooperated with me for many years." Pei Qingzhi nodded, but then said, "You have grown up now, and I can't delay your dating. It's not fair to you to be my female companion."

When Li Qingxue heard the second half of the sentence, the smiling face she had just raised suddenly froze, her eyes full of resentment when she looked at Tang Xi again.

"Hey, I remember this is your cousin, dear?" Tang Xi asked knowingly.

"It should be." Pei Qingzhi responded.

"Brother love complex isn't good. At first glance, you are the elder brother. Don't you know how to introduce a few reliable boys to your sister?" Tang Xi smiled.

"It's my fault, I will pay attention to it at the Christmas ball." Pei Qingzhi agreed with kindness.

"Cousin!" Li Qingxue looked at him with red eyes.

"Something?" Pei Qingzhi's eyes were calm and quiet.

"We haven't seen each other for a year, are you unhappy to see me?" Li Qingxue said aggrieved.

"What happened in a year?" Pei Qing asked in surprise, "I and Xiaoxiao often rarely see each other once in a few years."

The implication is that the same cousin, how can there be such a big gap.

"I'm too late." Tang Xi looked at the phone and reminded.

"Master Zhao, please help her measure her size, we are in a hurry." Pei Qingzhi walked to the counter.

"Hey, this is the little girl from the last few Hanfu design drafts? The temperament is really good, very suitable for Hanfu." The white-haired old woman smiled and pulled Tang Xi into the inner room.

"Grandma, even if you praise me, you still don't sell it." Tang Xi looked at her and felt kind, half-jokingly.

"Well, don't buy or sell." Grandma Zhao looked at her naughty junior, and while she brought the tape over, she whispered quietly, "Xiao Pei said this last time, and I'm still number one. I saw him being so concerned about girls’ clothes. The day before yesterday, I made an appointment to tell you to measure the size-come and see if you like them."

With that said, she first stuffed her a booklet and turned around to record the data.

Tang Xi turned over and saw the exquisite dresses inside, her eyes lit up.

Although she has very few opportunities to wear skirts because of her career, a girl would not really hate beautiful clothes.

"Mr. Zhao, this is pretty, but I don't like big red. Is there any other color? Is white all right?" Tang Xi asked, pointing to one of the pages.

"This one, you can do it." Granny Zhao looked at her up and down, nodded, and said with satisfaction, "Don't look at ordinary white, but there are not many girls who can wear white dresses. You...white Although not bad, black will be better."

"So?" Tang Xi thought for a while, and said readily, "Then it's black, I don't understand it very well."

"Don't worry, mother-in-law will dress you up as the most dazzling daughter in the audience!" Mother-in-law Zhao patted her chest, took the booklet, and tore off the page she was fancying.

"Hey?" Tang Xi puzzled.

"You can't let the two ladies wear the same skirt, right?" Mother Zhao replied with her refusal to sell Hanfu design drafts.

"I'm just helping President Pei set up a place." Tang Xi smiled.

"I watched Xiao Pei grow up, but I never saw him take the initiative to invite a girl to be a female companion." Mother Zhao's face was a little weird.

"Really?" Tang Xi was stunned, a strange trace across her heart.

When I went out, only Pei Qingzhi was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. Fu Xiao and Li Qingxue were gone.

"Alright?" Pei Qingzhi put down the magazine, a little surprised.

"Do you have any misunderstandings about me?" Tang Xi gave him a white look. "It's not just a skirt, just pick it up. Is it possible that it's like a blind date and refer to it again and again?"

"Cough cough cough..." Pei Qingzhi was choked by her saliva.

"Okay, okay, isn't it in a hurry?" Mother Zhao pushed Tang Xi and said with a smile, "Hurry up and go on a date. I will notify Xiao Pei as soon as the clothes are ready."

"Mother Zhao, we are not dating." Pei Qingzhi said embarrassedly.

"Anything, it's okay, don't disturb my design." Grandmother Zhao waved perfunctorily.

"Then let's go." Tang Xi couldn't see any caring expression on her face.

After returning to the car, Pei Qingzhi said uncomfortably: "Sorry, that grandmother Zhao..."

"Old man, just follow her." Tang Xi didn't care, paused, and suddenly laughed again, "I remember when I asked President Pei if his life-saving grace was promised, President Pei still disliked me when I was too old. Are you young? I'm an adult now."

"..." Pei Qing felt dumb.

"Speaking of which I have saved you so many times, you may not give me a few lifetimes, right?" Tang Xi said again.

"Don't you blush when you say this?" At least, Pei Qingzhi felt that the roots of her ears were a little hot.

"It doesn't seem to be." Tang Xi touched his face, then leaned over to look at him carefully.

"What's the matter?" Pei Qingzhi leaned back subconsciously, but with such a large space in the car, he couldn't avoid it.

"Why do I look like a bully who forced a good for a prostitution." Tang Xi laughed heartily.

"Sit down." Pei Qingzhi was helpless, pushed her back to the seat, and stretched out his hand to buckle her seat belt.

"I didn't expect you to be so casual." Tang Xi was still suffocating a smile.

"If you laugh again, Chu Li and I are asking for another training ground." Pei Qing said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Tang Xi was stunned.

"Although I have also practiced, is it not comparable to fighting professional combatants?" Pei Qing caused a headache.

"So when did you ever fight..." Tang Xi was confused.

No, so you two have such a good relationship, why do you have to fight?

Pei Qingzhi drove without squinting.

Or blame Chu Li.
