    "Did you turn off the microphone?" Rosie was angry for a while, then sneaked over to check Deng Huailing's collar, trying to find the location of the miniature microphone.

    Deng Huailing raised her hand to hold Rosie's wrist, preventing the other party's natural intimacy. The other party seemed to have forgotten that they were still arguing, and made hands very skillfully.He said in a detached tone, "Closed."

    "...Oh, come with me." Rosie's eyes flashed with depression, just now he had an unrealistic idea, he almost thought that Deng Huailing kissed him in public was not out of humiliation, butOut of concern, but the idea is ridiculous, "find a quiet place to talk."

    He took Deng Huailing to the booth under the stairs. The shadow of the stairs completely covered the two of them, cutting off the curious eyes of the soldiers and hunters.Rosie leaned in the shadow and breathed a sigh of relief, he never liked crowded places, especially when everyone's attention was on him, the discomfort in his heart would suddenly increase.

    "Can we say now, what clue did 'Shu' find in the first location?" Deng Huailing asked.

    Rosie clung to the other party's ear, and with a weak volume, briefly narrated the source of the clues in the villa.This time he kept his distance, deliberately not touching Deng Huailing's shoulder.

    "That's roughly how things are." He ended the statement with a sentence, "I guess the clues in the last two locations are also words, but to determine what Cesina wants to express, at least one more location must be entered."

    "So you danced with him just to exchange clues? After all, only he can hear the code hidden in the music." Deng Huailing thought.

    "Who?" Rosie was stunned for half a second, unable to catch up with the other party's escaped thoughts, "You mean Parisa? Of course I agreed to him for the line... No, what does this have to do with the brain lock?"

    He stopped quickly, unable to understand what Deng Huailing's point was. After analyzing it methodically for a long time, the man asked an irrelevant question, which made him confused.

    Deng Huailing finally showed a faint smile. For the first time in these days, it wasn't revenge or ridicule, the real smile melted in his eyes.Rosie doesn't know the horror of bounty hunters. As the saying goes, the fallen leaves tell the autumn, and only a little evidence is needed to connect unrelated phenomena and restore the truth of the matter.

    This is true for the case, and it is also true for Rosie's well-designed lies.

    Rosie's jerky kissing skills in the gazebo and her innocence that can misunderstand the meaning may prove that the other party is not the rumored lewd leader, but the possibility of body trading with Parisa still cannot be ruled out.However, today Rosie completely revealed her secrets and accidentally leaked the news of exchanging clues with a dance.

    For ordinary people, it may be easy to ignore this detail, but Deng Huailing's professional habits developed over the years made him analyze the details of the conversation all the time.Rosie will accept some exchange conditions, but the balance in the other party's heart obviously has multiple standards - the same exchange of clues, Parisa only got the chance to dance, while Deng Huailing's retaliatory behavior received a kiss.

    Deng Huailing always thought that Rosie's balance towards him was the same as that towards others. Since Rosie kissed him casually, there was no guarantee that others would not get further rewards.But now he understood that Rosie treated Parisa so harshly, almost to the point of repulsion, that she wouldn't even give a waltz of social interest for free.

    If even something as trivial as dancing had to be traded for clues, at what price would it cost Rosie to willingly climb into bed and show him off shamelessly?In terms of Rosie's good face, even if the condition is set to break through the main city and kick Robert out of the mayor, it is impossible.

    Thinking of this, although the reason why Rosie lied is still unclear, the bone spur that was always stuck in Deng Huailing's heart disappeared.He smiled lightly, looked at the person in front of him and explained: "I only talked to Su Qing because of clues."

    "It's none of my business." Rosie said four words indifferently, turned her face away, her eyes dodged, "Who cares if you talk to other girls."

    "If I remember correctly, you were so angry that you threw the black ring away."

    "I think it's an eyesore, so throw it away, can't you?" Rosie said impatiently, "The transaction has been completed, we owe nothing to you, hurry up and take your people back."

    Deng Huailing folded his hands calmly, leaned against the wall, and looked at Rosie through the sunglasses, showing no intention of leaving.

    Rosie felt terrified at the sight, pretending to be calm and said: "Not leaving, right? I'll take my people away."

    He pulled the brim of his hat, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Deng Huailing say behind his back: "Wait, how can I prove that you just told the truth? I let you see the clues with your own eyes. If the information you gave me isIf it is false, the transaction will not be completed."

    "Believe it or not..." Rosie frowned and was about to explode when she suddenly thought of something, her brows relaxed helplessly.The corners of the lips were slightly raised, and a low smile floated up, "I swore to myself that I would never lie to you about your problems again. Even if there is no future, I won't."

    "Since that banquet, your answers are all the truth?"

    "Hmm," Rosie said softly, "I avoid answering directly when it comes to lying in order to keep my promise."

    "Then do you like me?" Deng Huailing asked trickyly quickly.

    Rosie was caught off guard by the question, her face turned red and white, and she said angrily, "Can't you see it yourself?!"

    "In my opinion, I don't like it anymore. You said that being with me is a waste of time and resources. Is this true?" Deng Huailing deliberately teased him, pretending to be decisive, "However,I also don't need the likes of some skittish leader."

    You're so stupid, Deng Huailing.Rosie rubbed her eyebrows, thinking viciously, doesn't this person have the ability to detect hints at all?Do you really want him to explain it to the other party by breaking it apart and smashing it into pieces?But ever since he was stopped by Parisa that day, he could no longer find the courage to explain back then, and could only do everything possible to hint to Deng Huailing that the so-called transaction did not happen.

    Rosie couldn't imagine bowing his head and apologizing to anyone, something he had little experience with.In the position of leader, he does not need and is not allowed to do so. In addition to his inherent arrogance, there is another important reason, and that is the disaster of losing authority.

    For those in power, more dangerous than doing wrong is apologizing for doing wrong.Although the apology sounds sincere, it virtually damages the absolute correctness among the people and the absolute prestige among the military.Rather than admitting that he was wrong, Rosie is more used to correcting mistakes quickly and silently, and doing practical things well. He vowed not to lie to answer Deng Huailing's questions, and he would really do it.

    ...Even though Deng Huailing was completely disappointed in him.Rosie looked at the other party's indifferent expression sadly, knowing that no matter the oath or the promise, Deng Huailing would never be moved again.On several occasions, he tried to say sorry, but flinched from the sarcastic remark.

    The man would probably take every opportunity, laugh at him, and keep him as a Rosie replacement as a charity.If he went to beg Deng Huailing humbly, it would definitely be like this.

    His eyes became cold, and he said indifferently: "I see, you said you hated me a long time ago, and this is not new. If there is nothing else, I will take someone back first."

    Before Deng Huailing could respond, Rosie turned back and walked out. Looking up, she found that Piper was standing outside the stairs waiting for him, with her hands in her pockets mysteriously, as if she was hiding something in her pockets.He stopped and asked, "Did you find anything?"

    Piper looked at Rosie, then at Deng Huailing, and stepped into the shadow of the stairs.She noticed the slight change in the atmosphere between the two at a glance. Ten minutes ago, behind the railing on the second floor, they were still facing each other. Although there was still a smell of gunpowder in the atmosphere at this time, it had already faded a lot, and there was even a hint of entanglement.

    She could easily see that Deng Huailing was one of her own, so she took out a business card in front of them without any hesitation.It was exactly the same as the one that Deng Huailing picked up in the gazebo, it was lavender, with Dashawn's name and contact information printed on it, but without the deceptive fragrance of evening primrose.

    "This is the business card that Dashawn took out from the deck just now, and he put a whole stack in his pocket." She held up the business card and said solemnly, "I strongly doubt that Dashawn WaughElkman is unfaithful to feelings... No, a person like him can’t talk about feelings, to be precise, he should have violated the professional ethics of serving only one customer at the same stage.”

    HOPE bar, in Deng Huailing's bedroom, the curtains are still tightly closed, but the light strips around the ceiling illuminate the room brightly.

    "You exchanged clues with Rosie?" Rolla leaned on a swivel chair, raising her eyebrows in surprise, "I thought you never wanted to see him again after being dumped by him for the second time."

    "It's just a matter of business, and more information is beneficial to you, isn't it? Rosie is a good partner," Deng Huailing sat opposite her, carefully oiling his Tang knife, and replied casually, "II've figured it out, he didn't change his mind, and he didn't do anything to betray me, he just refused to admit that he took a wrong step."

    "So are you planning to go back to him?" Rolla narrowed her eyes and smiled, pulled out a slim lady's cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a deep breath, blue smoke drifted among them.

    "Don't worry, Rolla, I will stay and complete your commission." Deng Huailing saw through the other party's hidden intentions, "And I don't plan to take the initiative to seek peace. Although it is not difficult to put down my figure, I don't want to do it."

    He lowered his head, stroking the slender and smooth blade with downcast eyes, "It doesn't matter if you give in once or twice, I'm just afraid that if you make more concessions like this, I won't love him that much...I want to love him forever, soSome things seem to be unavoidable."
