Chapter 62 Stealing

Summer is coming. This is the season that Xia Xiqing dislikes the least in the year. The sticky sweat, the endless cicadas, and the sun that is about to be roasted. Even finding a place to avoid the heat has become a luxury.

He was thinking about Zhou Ziheng's swimming pool, and finally took off his clothes and jumped in to swim one night. This guilt of entering the room without permission made him very happy. He rubbed his hair back and took a selfie in the swimming pool with his upper body naked, and shared it directly with Zhou Ziheng on WeChat.

Ah, he doesn't have a cell phone now and can't see it.

What a pity.

After receiving the final script sent to him by Xu Qichen, Xia Xiqing spent the whole night reading it. She felt very complicated, but he felt that if this drama could really make the core of the script well, it would definitely be very exciting.

"I think you are very selfish. This script is enough to read just by reading it." Xia Xiqing opened a tube of beer and took a big gulp, "I can even figure out the situation that those CP fans have discussed."

Xu Qichen's voice sounded very happy on the phone, "It's okay, I think I just wrote them into a mutual dependency relationship. As for what kind of relationship they have for each other, I actually didn't make a decision. I think it depends on the two of you injecting their own feelings during the performance, and then how the audience understands it."

"Understand?" Xia Xiqing smiled helplessly, "Self-study girls have first-class brain-study skills, and looking at each other in their eyes is equivalent to going to bed."

Hearing Xia Zhixu's urging sound from the opposite side, Xia Xiqing glanced at the clock. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. He really shouldn't continue to disturb them anymore. He also found an excuse to hang up the phone and couldn't sleep. He opened Weibo and browsed it and found a very strange hot search - Dongming Group's tax evasion.

Isn’t Dongming the grass-roots team of Wei Min?

This is so interesting. Xia Xi counted it into the hot searches. The first few were official blogs such as People's Daily and Financial News. The same news was published. The title was [Dongming Group's tax evasion was as high as 120 million yuan, and the company's legal person Wei was waiting for the court to summon him]

"The lawyer of the company's legal person, Wei, said that Wei is now... hospitalized due to illness, and will fully cooperate with the procuratorate's investigation after he recovers..." Xia Xiqing laughed at the news content and couldn't help laughing. However, according to his lawyer's tone, Wei Minba probably really made a fake account, otherwise he would not admit it. He said so ambiguously now, and he must be afraid that he would not be able to settle it.

But Wei Min is a local snake, with great power and his father protecting him. Who can tell this matter?

Xia Xiqing thought of Ruan Xiao. Although he didn't think it was Ruan Xiao's cause, he always felt that she should know something. He flipped into Ruan Xiao's WeChat to ask her out for coffee. Unexpectedly, when he met the next day, Ruan Xiao actually appeared with a man.

"You're not going to explain to me?" Xia Xiqing smiled and took a sip of coffee, her eyes falling on the two people sitting opposite her, "Why are you here together?"

Ruan Xiao's face remained unchanged, "I know why you came to me for. Didn't I bring the initiator to you?" The young boy glanced at her after hearing Ruan Xiao's words. Xia Xiqing looked at the boy sitting opposite him in a hooded sweatshirt and black-framed glasses. He looked at him like a familiar face.

This dressing style is comparable to that of Zhou Ziheng.

He suddenly realized that this was the boy staring at him at the last dinner, "Are you Zhao Ke?"

Zhao Ke nodded, pushed the glasses on his nose, and when he opened his mouth, he felt an authentic Beijing accent. Xia Xiqing couldn't help but think, everyone is from Beijing, why does Zhou Ziheng have no accent? Could it be because he acted since he was a child?

"Your health... is okay." Zhao Ke smiled a little embarrassedly. Xia Xiqing was drinking coffee. He almost choked when he heard him saying this, "Hey, can we not mention this?"

It's been hard to get over, but now it's wheeled again.

"Do you want to know about Wei Min's tax evasion when you asked me?" Ruan Xiao tweaked his hair and showed a sly smile. After saying that, he touched Zhao Ke's arm with his shoulder, "He did it."

"He?" Xia Xiqing suddenly remembered that Zhao Ke was Zhou Ziheng's childhood friend. Although he still doesn't know how old Zhou Ziheng's family is, the Zhao Ke family should be quite powerful when he thinks about this.

Ruan Xiao waved to Xia Xiqing, approached him through the table, lowered his voice and said, "He is Director Zhao's son."

As soon as Xia Xiqing heard this, Ruan Xiao was pulled back by Zhao Ke and pulled her off-shoulder T-shirt, "Your back is exposed!"

"It's not that exaggerating. This is the design." Ruan Xiao compared Xia Xiqing again, talking about Zhao Ke's father's department name. Xia Xiqing immediately understood. He said why Wei Min was shaking it out sooner or later, it turned out that it was because of Zhao Ke.

"How did you convince your dad to check him?" Xia Xiqing asked.

Zhao Ke grabbed the hair, "No, I mentioned this to my dad when I was having dinner. My dad didn't know that he had colluded with the people in the bureau in private, so he was very angry. It happened that my dad and the second-in-command were getting more and more common recently, and he was about to be promoted again. Before leaving, he wanted to take advantage of this matter to destroy the man's majesty and find an opportunity to punish him." He stirred up the ice American style in the cup, "In fact, he just used a knife to kill people. Wei Min was at best just that little blade."

Wei Min, who gave himself such a big face, in fact, everyone treated him as a chess piece. Xia Xiqing felt sarcastic and thought these people were also quite funny. "I didn't expect that this world is so small, and our table is all background residents."

Ruan Xiao flicked his fingers gently on the wall of the cup, "Everyone hides well. I really didn't expect your family to be so thick at first." She said that, and asked, "Well, Zhou Ziheng's family is the same as you?"

"No, no, no, it's almost done." Zhao Ke lowered his voice and made an example, "My family is a civil servant, his family is a military general. He is a third generation of reds with a strong root. His brother is also a big shot in the financial industry, so he dare not write this kind of TV series."

Ruan Xiao didn't understand, "Why is his family going to the entertainment industry?"

"His sister-in-law is a very powerful agent in the entertainment industry. Sister Yin, I don't know if you recognize him."

"Jiang Yin?" Xia Xiqing didn't expect this, "Is Jiang Yin his sister-in-law?"

"You know each other." Zhao Ke continued, "Anyway, Ziheng was brought out by his sister-in-law. Otherwise, you think he has been in the industry for so many years, and he has such good resources and no scandals at all. The only time he hyped up was with you."

Xia Xiqing was a little confused when Zhao Ke was so cueful.

"But that kid was determined to think that there were two reasons for acting. One was that he felt that the power of stars was actually very great and could influence a lot of people. He hoped that more people could understand and pay attention to some neglected social phenomena with the idol effect. To put it more vulgar, it was to spread positive energy. On the other hand..."

Ruan Xiao urged him to continue, and Zhao Ke then spoke, "He used to like a young lady when he was a child. He said that the young lady encouraged him when he was most afraid of it, so he had the courage to stand in front of the camera. He didn't want to let down the young lady's expectations, and hoped that one day she could recognize herself on the screen." Zhao Ke sighed, "Although I think maybe they have forgotten that he got married and had children long ago."

"What kind of fairy plot is this? I really can't tell that Zhou Ziheng is such a pure person."

The two of them were chatting enthusiastically, and they didn't notice that Xia Xiqing, who was sitting opposite, looked unwilling to speak. Even Xia Xiqing himself didn't know what was going on. When he mentioned his previous first love, he became angry. He lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, browsed WeChat twice and Weibo twice, trying to relieve this negative emotion.

"But he seems to have changed his mind now." Zhao Ke Yuguang glanced at Xia Xiqing who was sitting opposite him without saying a word. "He hasn't mentioned that young lady recently, and he is the other person after keeping his mouth shut."

"Who?" Ruan Xiao's question was full of twists and turns, and the ending sound was about to circumference into the sky.

"Who knows it in his heart."

Xia Xiqing only thought that he could not hear the two of them singing and reconciling. He suddenly found that the hot search list on Weibo had changed. The first place was [Sanqing CP] and the second place was [Self-study CP].

"Has this episode of "Escape" been broadcast?" Xia Xiqing raised her eyes and asked.

Ruan Xiao took out his cell phone and looked at the date, "Really, it's over, I'll definitely be scolded for this issue."

Zhao Ke said, "Why?"

"I almost threw Xi Qing out, but Ziheng protected him a little. I was really convinced by Ziheng. I finally managed to be a killer, but I actually protected Xi Qing everywhere. In the end, I really had to protect him. I was sure to win."

This made Xia Xiqing's ears soft. He pretended not to understand and clicked on the hot searches of him and Shang Sirui. The first one was a screenshot of Shang Sirui's Weibo post by a big CP fan. The last time Xia Xiqing leaned on Shang Sirui's shoulder to anger Zhou Ziheng.

[Sansan and Qingqing got married immediately: Oh my god, this is an old candy!! It turns out that the "self-destructing player" Sansan said is Xi Qing! I only realized after watching this episode. It turns out that I had spoiled so early. Sansan's tone is too spoiled.]

[San San San is the beautiful boy attack: San Qing has always been sweet. Do you have any questions? A certain CP will have an orgasm if it is okay. The main owner may not even hold his hands on the show.]

Xia Xiqing felt a little complicated when she saw this comment. She seemed to have never held hands on the show... but in private...

[Study girl: Is it okay to encircle the land? How sour? What kind of flowers can two people get together?]

Xia Xiqing: Little sister, although you are a self-study girl, I am not happy to say this. Who is the one who suffers?

[Sanqing Sai Gao: Can a certain CP dog have any other new tricks besides the saying "two people will not be happy together"? Is it annoying to drive the wheels every day! If you have nothing to do, what can I visit other squares!]

[Self-study is my little baby: the cheap ones will pick them up first and take them away from my home for self-study.]

The CP fans on both sides became more and more quarreled, and the battle situation suddenly escalated. Sanjia Weifan also participated, and the scene was out of control for a while. Xia Xiqing didn't understand why in the end, his fans and Zhou Ziheng's fans were the most fiercer, just like a group fight.

This time he understood how embarrassing it was to quarrel in the fan circle.

I originally wanted to share it with Zhou Ziheng, but I remembered that he was still in a confinement and his mobile phone could not be used, so Xia Xiqing had to settle for the second best and sent a WeChat message to Shang Sirui.

[Xi Qing: The combat effectiveness of star-chasing girls is so terrible.]

Unexpectedly, Shang Sirui, who was so busy, could even come back in seconds.

[Si Rui: I'm used to it hahaha.]

[Xi Qing: I don’t know what’s going on. I was scolding and became a fan of Zhou Ziheng and I slammed each other.]

[Si Rui: You scold me and I scold you, our brothers sleep together.]

I'll go.

Xia Xiqing was completely convinced by Shang Sirui. He returned to Weibo and checked whether he liked any Weibo when eating melons, so as not to cause bloody storms without knowing it. Unexpectedly, Ruan Xiao, who was sitting opposite, suddenly spoke, "Oh my God, Zhou Ziheng posted on Weibo?"

"No, he has lost his phone and what should he send? Could it be that Xiao Luo sent it for him?" Zhao Ke went to Weibo and took a look, "Damn it? Did he really post it?"

Xia Xiqing originally wanted to refresh her Weibo and see what Zhou Ziheng posted, but the two people on the other side looked at him with an indescribable smile on their faces.

It's just the smile of a CP fan...

"The last photo of you two! He actually posted it!" Ruan Xiao pushed his phone in front of Xia Xiqing, and he was still showing off to Zhao Ke happily, "I told you that this photo was taken by them with my own eyes. Have you seen the red sleeve in the lower left corner? It's my sleeve!"

Without even listening to the words of the two people on the other side, Xia Xiqing stared at Zhou Ziheng's Weibo in a daze, without writing anything, but just shared the photo. He was still at a loss in the camera. Zhou Ziheng's wide palm forced his head to his shoulder, laughing at himself with a sunny face.

Fool.

Xia Xiqing complained in her heart, but was also a little curious. How Zhou Ziheng posted on Weibo, she obviously didn't have a mobile phone.

"The case is solved, and it's really Xiao Luo." Zhao Ke put out his WeChat chat interface for them. "Xiao Luo went to send him a script. He chatted at his house for a while and mentioned to him what happened today's show. Unexpectedly, when he was leaving, Zhou Zihengfei pulled Xiao Luo and asked him to log in to his Weibo account and send the Weibo in the draft box."

Draft box? Xia Xiqing squinted his eyes and looked at Luo Luo’s chat history.

[Little Luo: Ziheng doesn't know what to do, so he insists that I post it now. When I saw the draft box, I only had a Weibo post, which was half a month ago. And it was a photo of him and Xi Qing, so I was puzzled and didn't send it to him and he was anxious.]

Zhao Ke and Ruan Xiao were laughing so hard that they couldn't see each other. Only Xia Xiqing didn't react. What the hell is Zhou Ziheng doing? He still thinks that the fan battle is not messy enough now?

After laughing enough, Zhao Ke's expression was a little calmer, "I just heard from Xiao Luo that Ziheng has lost a lot in the past two days, so he wouldn't have a hunger strike at home."

"How is it possible..." Xia Xiqing said, lowered her head and took a sip of the cold coffee.

"How is it impossible? Let me tell you, I have been the best friend of Zhou Ziheng since I was wearing open-crotch pants. I have never seen Zhou Ziheng get so angry. That day, you were in the car and didn't see what Zhou Ziheng did. Ruan Xiaoke and I were really scared." Zhao Ke curled his lips and hit Ruan Xiao's shoulder, "Yes, Zhou Ziheng smashed Wei Min's grandson's windshield with a baseball bat, Niu Pi."

Ruan Xiao nodded, "This is the first time I have seen Ziheng like this, really."

Xia Xiqing held his chin with his palm and stared at the bubbles floating in the coffee cup, "Isn't it common for him to be brave enough to act bravely?"

Zhao Ke shook his head, "Come on, I fought with the gangsters in the next high school in the third year of junior high school. He didn't come up to help me, so he called the police directly, which almost made me killed by my father. After that, the girl taught me earnestly, saying that I shouldn't fight with those people, it's too unpleasant."

Looking back on the expression on Zhou Ziheng's face that night, Xia Xiqing could probably imagine how Zhou Ziheng got himself back from Wei Min. But Zhao Ke's indirect stuttering was too straightforward, and Xia Xiqing didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Seeing that he was still silent, Zhao Ke simply turned aside and went straight to the topic, "Do you want to visit the prison with us?"

Xia Xiqing frowned and looked at the two guys opposite with a little disgusted look on their faces, "Visit the prison?"

Zhou Ziheng has been at home these days and said it was confinement, but it was better to say it was a physical and mental torture. In order to better fit Gao Kun's character image, his sister-in-law also specially invited a nutritionist and forced him to eat some nutritious meals that are hard to eat every day.
