Shen Shizhen

Chapter 124 The Pendulum

"Millie is missing?" Carter couldn't help raising his voice to ask for responsibility.

Only the intelligence team was dispatched on this business trip, and Carter and Mold stayed in the bureau.

As soon as Ai Fan and Ji Chuan came back from there, they approached Carter, told him the exact progress of the matter, and explained why they had come to find him.

The three of them secretly stayed in Ai Fan's spacious office after get off work, and did not turn on the lights, only a desk lamp on Ai Fan's desk was on.

Carter was terribly anxious the whole time, as if there were barbs growing on the chair under his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still.

Just walking back and forth in the office, constantly considering how feasible Ai Fan's proposal is.

The first back and forth: "You want me to go to Mount Fowler to guard your sister?"

Evan: "We will switch shifts."

The second back and forth: "You still let me pretend to be a psychic?"

Ji Chuan: "You still use Kirk's ID. The photo he changed for you last time hasn't been changed yet."

The third back and forth: "But Kirk is not a psychic, why do I have to pretend to be a psychic?"

Evan: "They don't know about Kirk's specific job, so let's just say yes."

Ji Chuan: "Just fool around, anyway, many wild psychics don't have a specific ability system, and there are not many who can only read minds like Church."

In the fourth back and forth, Carter failed to smooth the wrinkles on his brows.

Until Evan said: "Lester will go too."

Carter stopped, looked at him sideways, and his attitude changed quickly: "Come on, let's talk about our plan in detail."

Ji Chuan admired Carter's obsession with Lester. He was unwilling to listen to it just now, but now "we" are on it in a blink of an eye.

Evan laughed, stroked his forehead and didn't know what to say about Carter, why did Lester fall for him.

"Didn't you all... have opened a room before? Why haven't you settled it yet?" But Ji Chuan couldn't help it first, and opened his mouth without any taboo.

Speaking of this, Carter's head hurts, and he finally sat down on the chair: "I can't really blame me for being omnipresent. The main reason is that Mrs. Lester... you know."

Ai Fan and Ji Chuan shook their heads together: "We don't understand."

"..." Carter was speechless, "It's just...he refuses to admit it openly, it's awkward!"

Ai Fan and Ji Chuanqiqi nodded: "Oh--"

Carter waved his hand, not wanting to talk more.

Every time he talked about Leicester, he twisted from body to heart. You said that you are so old, why is it awkward to sleep on the bed? It is also unimaginable.

Ji Chuan glanced at Ai Fan, obviously wanting to ask something.

Without thinking too much, Ai Fan understood what Ji Chuan meant at a glance, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Ji Chuan squeezed his eyebrows: I'm really just curious...

Ai Fan lowered his head and propped his forehead, pretending that he didn't know anything, which meant that if you want to ask, you can ask.

"Then... who of you is going up and who's going down?" When Ji Chuan said this, half of his fair face was faintly visible under the dim light of the desk lamp, and Carter was caught off guard by the question.

Carter almost subconsciously glanced at Ivan, who was staring at the table, "Although I have never doubted the two of you, I believe you must have experienced it, Ji."

Ji Chuan: "..."

It was already an hour after the three of them actually finished their small meeting.

With the deepening of Lester's investigation over there in the past few days, Kirk properly edited all the details of the case and posted them on the Internet, and finally the gate of Lance Headquarters finally calmed down.

Recently, Ai Fan and Ji Chuan, who finally had the opportunity to walk through the main entrance once, extended a sincere invitation to Carter, who was single.

Carter was still arranging the coat he had just put on when he came downstairs. Before he knew it, the summer was over, and it was getting cold at night.

Just as he was straightening his collar, he heard the two of them say something so abruptly, and Carter was shocked at the time: "Invite me to finish the meal?"

Ji Chuan nodded, and Ai Fan nodded too.

Carter paused, hesitating through the night: "Then...to Desi Square or...Forod?"

Ji Chuan glanced at Ai Fan, shook his head and smiled, "Go home."

Carter's hand, which was about to turn over his collar, stopped again, and said in disbelief, "Home? Whose house? My house? It can't be... your house?"

"Inviting you, can I still invite you to your home?" Ji Chuan laughed, turned his head and thumped Ai Fan's shoulder, "How exaggerated are you, is it so unconvincing to invite colleagues to your home as a guest? "

Ivan shrugged, raised his chin to Carter and said, "Let's go."

This moment really surprised Carter, it was incredible, he was promoted to become the first "outsider" to enter their Benson's house.

As soon as Carter walked into Ivan's house, he really felt that everything was strange, and he couldn't help but play a few more times while sitting on the sofa.

Ji Chuan was pouring water for him, joking while pouring: "How about it, do you see anything special?"

Carter joked back directly: "I don't need to see it, the one in front of me is the most special."

"Ah?" Ji Chuan was a little unresponsive, and subconsciously looked back to find out what Carter was referring to.

"It's the first time I drink Chinese tea. Almost none of us drink tea. It's really fragrant." Carter picked up the teacup and smelled it, "Isn't it you?"

"Pfft——" Ji Chuan laughed, "I thought it was exaggerated at first, and I even asked him why I could come in, but you couldn't."

Carter really wanted to taste it when he smelled it, and when it was still hot, he wanted to drink it. After hearing what Ji Chuan said, he also smiled: "It goes without saying, you are his insider that his father recognized a long time ago, how can outsiders like us compare? Aww!"

Just as Ji Chuan wanted to stop him, he was a step too late: "The boiling water I just poured scalded my tongue."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Ji Chuanzhi poured cold water for him again: "The tea leaves have just steeped, and the tea leaves haven't boiled even after you drink them so fast."

Carter downed a whole cup in one breath before recovering to speak: "I'm really envious of Ivan, why didn't my dad find me such a virtuous wife."

Ji Chuan smiled, shaking his head and shaking his head: "I also know how to make tea, and he does all the cooking and housework."

Carter glanced at the direction of the kitchen. Ai Fan was busy working in the kitchen, and he also felt amazing: "I never thought that Ai Fan would have such a skill. What about when he couldn't see it before? Could it be? Does he do it?"

Ji Chuan also glanced over there, and Ai Fan was standing in front of the chopping board chopping vegetables: "You can tell by the sound of him chopping vegetables, I can't do it, he always does it."

Carter's face was full of delicacy that could only be understood and could not be expressed in words. After doing this for a long time, it turned out that Ji Chuan was chatting with him outside, and he, Ai Fan, went into the kitchen to cook.

When Ai Fan couldn't see before, he always thought that Ji Chuan took care of all the daily chores for Ai Fan.

The two chatted for a few more words, and at this moment Ji Chuan pointed to the tea leaves on the coffee table and said, "You can drink it now."

Carter was in a trance after taking the first sip, and he could taste the difference when his tongue was burned: "Is there anything else, can I take some home?"

Just as Ji Chuan was about to nod his head, Ai Fan from the kitchen came out with food: "Come here to eat and drink and bring them home? No wonder you got Lester in bed."

Sitting at the dining table in Ai Fan's house, Carter felt as if he had opened the door to a new world, and as soon as he tasted it, he responded with a compliment to Ai Fan: "It's amazing, I thought you were just a vase, no wonder Ji Neng is loved by you." Get in bed."

Ai Fan: "..." Are you really praising him?

Ji Chuan smiled happily. In fact, he is the vase: "Ai Fan has always taken care of me. If I don't sleep in his bed, whose bed is it?"

After saying this, Carter gave Ivan a thumbs up, raised his eyebrows and said: "I think you couldn't get such a sentence back then by burning incense and worshiping Buddha."

Alluding to Ai Fan's goodness.

Ji Chuan didn't speak, but brought a piece of tofu for Carter: "Tofu mixed with preserved eggs, try it."

Carter obviously couldn't react to the fact that someone brought food for him, and he was a little worried that Ivan would mind if they didn't have the habit of helping others.

And—"So this is tofu! Isn't that the name of your cat? It took me a long time to pronounce it correctly."

Ai Fan received Carter's gaze, and he smiled indifferently: "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to pinch it and lose face, so try it."

Carter didn't believe in evil, and looked at the white and tender thing in the bowl, which was so crystal clear that people's appetite whetted his appetite: "How can..."

Before he finished speaking, he slapped his face. Carter looked at the white square in the bowl that was broken in half in astonishment: "It, it... I obviously didn't use much force... How is it weaker than jelly..."

Responding to the laughter of the two homeowners, Genuine Tofu also let out a soft cry at the side, really like a person.

In the end, Carter still failed to pick up the tofu with chopsticks. The smaller the pieces of tender tofu, the harder it is to pick them up.

So he chose to give up and fed all the brains into his mouth with a spoon.

But in fact, the two homeowners didn't say anything, and he, Carter, also knew that after this serious family dinner, he would really be his own in the future.
