"Okay, I'll do it!" Zhou Xuan quickly agreed and prepared to open the car door and get out.
"Don't get out of the car, stay inside, I'll walk over you!" Fu Ying didn't dare look at him, lowering her head as she spoke, her face even redder, "There are so many cars outside, it's not safe to get out!"
The noise from the car behind started again: "Hey, can you drive? If you can't, get on my side!" The driver behind saw Fu Ying's face in the rearview mirror. Such a pretty girl, how could he not flirt with her!
Volume 1, Chapter 334: Fear
Fu Ying, feigning innocence, refused to drive. The driver behind them cursed, urged, and harassed her. Zhou Xuan, enraged, channeled his icy energy, transforming and devouring a tiny, crucial part of the engine core of the car behind him. ()
This guy will be very annoyed later. No matter how you check his appearance, you can't tell anything from it, but the car definitely won't start. Just based on his cursing and harassing tone, it wouldn't be unjust for Zhou Xuan to destroy his car. Fu Ying is too shy. When the driver behind her makes a fuss, she quickly stops changing seats, starts the car, fills up the gas, and drives off quickly.
The person behind was still swearing and making a scene, but when he saw Fu Ying's car drive away, he turned the key to start the car. However, no matter how many times he turned the key, he couldn't start the engine. In his panic, he forgot about swearing and harassing the other person and quickly checked the car.
The drivers of the cars that stopped behind him all shouted. The more anxious this man became, the less he could find the problem. Then a traffic police patrol car also stopped next to his car!
Fu Ying saw it in the rearview mirror from afar and said angrily, "That guy's mouth is so filthy, he deserves it!" After a pause, she suddenly turned to Zhou Xuan and asked, "Did you mess with his car?"
Zhou Xuan laughed and said, "Just because of his foul mouth, who else should we mess with if not him?"
Fu Ying smiled sweetly, but then put on a stern face and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to joke with me in public. Look at what you just said, it's so embarrassing!"
Zhou Xuan sighed for a moment before saying, "Yingying, do you mean that I can't say or do these things to you in public, but it's okay if it's not in public?"
Fu Ying snorted. Seeing Zhou Xuan's eyes light up and his eager expression, she was both annoyed and amused. Although she knew that Zhou Xuan was faking it, she still couldn't help but retort angrily, "You...you just know how to talk nonsense and bully me!"
The two joked and laughed as they returned home. Just then, Aunt Liu finished preparing dinner. Zhou Ying and Li Wei had returned, but Zhou Tao hadn't come home yet. Recently, Zhou's Jewelry business had been booming, and he and Li Li had to work overtime every day to keep up. Actually, it was all because Zhou Xuan had gambled away too many high-quality jadeite pieces and made too many new jewelry designs, so the surge in sales was to be expected.
After dinner, Zhou Xuan went upstairs to his room to rest alone, which was his routine. Whenever he was at home, he would absorb ice energy through the crystal at this time every day, and then read a book before going to bed to increase his knowledge of antiques.
Fu Ying was tricked by Zhou Xuan today, so she no longer dared to talk nonsense with Zhou Xuan, let alone go upstairs with him.
After returning to his room, Zhou Xuan opened the drawer but couldn't find the crystal. He was taken aback, as it had always been placed here before and definitely not somewhere else.
He searched other parts of the house but couldn't find it. After thinking for a moment, he immediately used his ice energy to sense the entire house, but he couldn't find any crystals.
If the ice energy doesn't find the crystal, Zhou Xuan is certain that the crystal isn't in this house!
Zhou Xuan was startled. Who would steal this crystal? He racked his brains but couldn't figure out who it was. Moreover, only he knew the secret of this crystal; even Fu Ying didn't know. Fu Ying only knew that he had the ability to use ice energy, but as for the crystal, ever since Zhou Xuan obtained it from the extraterrestrial gold mine that Shangguan Mingyue gave him, no outsider had any way of knowing its secret. Even if a thief came to his house, he would only steal valuables or cash. Why would he steal such a glass crystal?
Zhou Xuan couldn't figure it out. There were no stolen items left, and no way to detect any images. After thinking for a moment, he quickly ran downstairs and asked Jin Xiumei, "Mom, a thief broke into the house. Can you check if anything has been stolen?"
Jin Xiumei was taken aback and quickly called Liu Sao, Fu Ying, and Zhou Ying to check each room. They checked everything in about ten minutes, but strangely enough, Jin Xiumei had kept tens of thousands of yuan in cash, jewelry that Fu Ying had given to her and Zhou Ying, and watches that Zhou Tao and Zhou Cangsong had kept. These were all valuable items worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, but they were all intact and had not been stolen.
Jin Xiumei asked curiously, "Son, we didn't lose anything. What's missing? Is it something important? Liu Sao and I haven't left this house except to go grocery shopping. How did the thief get in?"
Zhou Xuan frowned. "Mom, it's nothing. I just lost a small thing. It's nothing serious. I'll just be more careful next time. I'm going back to my room to sleep!"
Jin Xiumei muttered to herself, "Why is this so strange?"
Zhou Xuan returned to his room. The crystal was gone, and he felt uneasy. However, since no one else could absorb the power from the crystal except him, he felt a little better. The energy in the crystal could only be absorbed if one had ice energy. Without ice energy, the crystal was no different from a piece of glass. Zhou Xuan guessed that he was probably the only person in the world with ice energy.
That night, Zhou Xuan had nightmares and couldn't sleep soundly at all.
For the next week, Zhou Xuan searched for the crystal but couldn't get any information about it.
If you really can't find it, you can only stop thinking about it; life goes on.
Zhou Xuan was groggily awakened by her phone ringing in the morning. She picked it up from her bedside table and saw that it was Fu Yuanshan calling. She quickly answered the call.
"Hey bro, what's up? About that case?"
Fu Yuanshan sounded a bit anxious: "Brother, this case is very tricky and involves a wide range of people. Secretary Wei of the Municipal Party Committee has personally selected and set up a special task force. You need to come over right away; there are some things I need to discuss with you in person!"
"Okay, I'll be right there." Zhou Xuan hung up the phone, got up to wash her face and brush her teeth, then changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Downstairs in the living room, Zhou Xuan's mother, Jin Xiumei, was still watching TV. He said, "Mom, Director Fu needs to see me. I'm going over there. I won't be home for dinner. Please tell Yingying!"
"Oh, okay!" Jin Xiumei was watching a TV series, waved her hand, and didn't say much to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan went out and hailed a taxi on the street outside Hongcheng Garden, heading directly to the Dongcheng Branch of the Public Security Bureau.
The security guard at the branch office gate recognized Zhou Xuan and, without even asking about registration, invited him in with a smile.
Zhou Xuan took the elevator to the floor of Fu Yuanshan's office building, walked to the door of his office, and gently knocked.
Fu Yuanshan seemed to be the quickest to know that Zhou Xuan had arrived. He opened the door, and as soon as he saw Zhou Xuan, he smiled and pulled him to the other side, saying as they walked, "Brother, let's go to the small conference room. There's an important guest here. Guess who it is?"
Zhou Xuan asked in surprise, "How would I possibly guess who it is? Brother, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me, who is it?"
Fu Yuanshan just smiled, dragged him to the door of the small conference room, and then pushed the door open and went in.
When Zhou Xuan entered, he saw a girl sitting on the sofa in the small conference room. She was wearing a green shirt, white pants, and white mesh shoes. Her shoulder-length black hair was tied in a ponytail at the back of her head. She was extremely beautiful and no less so than Fu Ying.
Zhou Xuan recognized the girl, but he didn't know if it was Wei Xiaoqing or Wei Xiaoyu, because he was seeing her from the right side. The only difference between the two sisters was that Wei Xiaoqing had a tiny black mole on her left temple. Wei Xiaoyu had the mole, and Wei Xiaoqing didn't.
Fu Yuanshan pulled Zhou Xuan to sit down on the sofa and said with a smile, "Brother, this naval colonel, hehe, I think you two know each other, right?"
Fu Yuanshan's words immediately made Zhou Xuan realize that this was Wei Xiaoyu!
But Wei Xiaoyu's temperament and expression are now very different from when we first met. Back then, Wei Xiaoyu was meticulous, always dressed in a crisp military uniform, proud and cold, extremely self-centered, and always looked down on others. Zhou Xuan also disliked her personality very much.
But Wei Xiaoyu is clearly different now. You can feel her obvious feminine gentleness and she can openly show her concern for her younger sister Wei Xiaoqing. Zhou Xuan doesn't think she's so annoying anymore. In any case, a person who can give everything for their family can't be an annoying person.
Wei Xiaoyu smiled faintly and extended her hand to Zhou Xuan, saying, "We meet again!"
Zhou Xuan shook hands with her; her hand was soft and cold, and he also felt that Wei Xiaoyu's face had become thinner.
Of course, he couldn't say such things out loud. It had been a long time since he had seen Wei Xiaoqing, and he wondered how that girl was doing. Although Zhou Xuan would not say that he had fallen in love with her, they had gone through life and death together, so he was naturally concerned.
