When it was nearly ten o 'clock at night, Zeng Jing dragged her tired body back home. After a busy day, Zeng Jing could only truly feel relaxed when she was home.
Sitting quietly on the sofa, staring at the ceiling above her head, Zeng Jing's eyes were unfocused. Her brain seemed to be empty. She didn't think or see anything. She just lay on her back and didn't need to pay attention to any sitting posture. She just sat in her favorite and most relaxed posture.
The light on the ceiling was slightly dazzling, but Zeng Jing didn't feel it at all. She was indeed tired, both physically and mentally. She could finally relax after a day's tension.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when his phone rang, Zeng Jing finally moved. His pupils slowly focused as he turned his head to look at his phone, which was casually placed on the sofa. When he saw the number, he frowned and hung up.
Just a moment later, the phone rang again. It was still the same number. Zeng Jing didn't answer it and hung up again.
Both sides seemed to be in a stalemate. When Zeng Jing hung up, the other side immediately called again.
This time, Zeng Jing was a little angry. She picked up the phone and said impatiently, "Mr. Zhao, I'm not free now. Please don't keep calling me.
Miss Zeng, I don't mean to disturb you. I just want to meet you and have a chat. " On the other end of the phone, Zhao Mingcheng, who had been pursuing Zeng Jing recently, didn't flinch because of Zeng Jing's tone.
"Mr. Zhao, don't you understand what I'm talking about? I'm sorry, I'm not free now." Zeng Jing was a little annoyed. "Mr. Zhao, don't you know that calling me so late at night will disturb my rest?"
"Miss Zeng, if I'm disturbing you, I'm really sorry. But I really want to have a chat with you."
"I'm not free now. I need to rest. Mr. Zhao …"
Before Zeng Jing finished her words, Zhao Mingcheng interrupted her. "Miss Zeng, I saw you in Shengshi Haoyuan last night."
Silence. A deathly silence. Zeng Jing's pupils contracted violently. She didn't know what Zhao Mingcheng was trying to express, or what he was hinting at, but it was obvious that his words made her unable to calm down.
Where is Mr. Zhao now? With a light sigh, Zeng Jing adjusted his state of mind and asked calmly.
I'm at the entrance of your neighborhood. Zhao Mingcheng said.
It seems that Mr. Zhao must think that I will see you. When Zeng Jing heard that the other party was already waiting outside the neighborhood, his eyes flashed with a fierce look. Fine, then Mr. Zhao can come up.
As Zeng Jing spoke, she told him the unit number where she lived. Zhao Mingcheng had never been to her apartment before.
At the entrance of the neighborhood, Zhao Mingcheng was sitting alone in his Mercedes-Benz. At night, he deliberately sent the driver away and drove here alone. When Zeng Jing drove out of the police station, Zhao Mingcheng followed her. To be exact, he had been waiting for Zeng Jing for a long time. On the ground near the driver's seat, there were several cigarette butts, which were smoked by Zhao Mingcheng just now. There was no doubt that before he decided to make this call to Zeng Jing, Zhao Mingcheng was not in a calm mood. He even went through a fierce mental struggle before he finally decided to make this call. The cigarette butts on the ground, which were not even finished, fully showed Zhao Mingcheng's chaotic state of mind.
At this moment, after getting a positive answer from Zeng Jing, Zhao Mingcheng put away his phone and took a deep breath of the cigarette. Zhao Mingcheng got out of the car, threw the cigarette in his hand that had only been smoked a few times on the ground, and stamped it out. Zhao Mingcheng walked into the neighborhood.
When Zhao Mingcheng went upstairs, Zeng Jing was already waiting at the door. Staring at Zhao Mingcheng, Zeng Jing did not say anything, turned around and went into the house. Zhao Mingcheng, who was behind, saw this, smiled helplessly, and followed Zeng Jing into the house.
Miss Zeng, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest so late. After entering the house, Zhao Mingcheng apologized first.
It turned out that Mr. Zhao also knew that coming so late would disturb others. Zeng Jing said sarcastically. Although she said that, Zeng Jing still poured a glass of water for Zhao Mingcheng politely.
The two sat opposite each other, and Zeng Jing looked at Zhao Mingcheng. Actually, Zeng Jing did not pay much attention to this pursuer. Apart from hearing from the elders in her family that Zhao Mingcheng was successful in his career and had excellent financial conditions, Zeng Jing did not know much about Zhao Mingcheng, nor was she interested in him. Therefore, she actually did not know what kind of business Zhao Mingcheng was in.
Mr. Zhao, did you see me in your neighborhood last night? After a short look, Zeng Jing asked calmly.
Hehe, I did see someone who looked like Miss Zeng, but it might not be you. Maybe I saw wrong. Zhao Mingcheng smiled and shook his head. I said that just now because I wanted to see Miss Zeng. To be honest, it was really not easy to see Miss Zeng.
Zhao Mingcheng's words stunned Zeng Jing. She looked at Zhao Mingcheng meaningfully. Zeng Jing was not a fool. If she could not hear the contradiction between Zhao Mingcheng's words and what he said just now, then she really had a problem with her brain.
Mr. Zhao wanted to see me, but he picked this time to see me? Can't we do it another day? Also, Mr. Zhao called me just after I came back, and he is waiting outside the neighborhood. Is Mr. Zhao following me? Zeng Jing stared at Zhao Mingcheng. At this moment, she thought of the time when she followed Lin Mao, she met Zhao Mingcheng outside the entrance of Shengshi Haoyuan. Although Zhao Mingcheng also lived there, the coincidence was really suspicious.
Maybe I came at the right time. Zhao Mingcheng smiled. He did not want to admit that he followed Zeng Jing, so he changed the topic. Miss Zeng, let me ask you a very real question. If I asked you out at another time, do you think you would come out to see me?
Zeng Jing was silent for a while. Although she did not want to answer this question, she finally said that she would not.
That's right. Actually, it is not important when I meet you. What is important is that Miss Zeng does not want to see me, so I can only use this method. Zhao Mingcheng put on a helpless expression.
Mr. Zhao said that you did not see me last night? Zeng Jing looked at Zhao Mingcheng deeply.
No, I did not see you. You do not live in Shengshi Haoyuan. I did not have the chance to see you even if I wanted to. Zhao Mingcheng smiled. But last night, an unfortunate thing happened in Shengshi Haoyuan. Sigh, someone fell from a building. I heard that he was drunk and fell down. Some people said that he was killed, but I do not know whether it is true or not. Anyway, a lot of police came, and it was said that the identity of the victim was not simple.
Mr. Zhao seems to know a lot. Zeng Jing looked at Zhao Mingcheng.
It happened in our neighborhood. Even if I did not want to know, I would have heard some rumors. Zhao Mingcheng smiled.
