Chapter Sixty-Eight Snowfall

pear even more noble and elegant in this outfit.Before him stood a cup of tea, the water steaming gently, giving him an otherworldly air.Xu Yixue said to him after sweeping her cold gaze over him, "Co...When Gu Xicheng returned, it was not yet dark. Butler Gu saw him and greeted him, "Young Master."

Gu Xicheng took off his coat and gave it to him. From behind, Ji Chuan had already caught up. The two of them went directly upstairs to the study without a word.

"How is the investigation going" In the second-floor study, Gu Xi stood with his arms crossed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. His breathing was heavy, his gaze fierce, his chest rising and falling several times before he finally uttered this sentence.

"Everyone has been sent out, and I've also asked Ye Shao for help, but... but the other party is clearly very vigilant. They didn't leave any trace at all, everything was cleaned up perfectly." Ji Chuan's nerves were on edge, this was the first time in many years that he had been this careful.

"I'll ask S.S. for help," Gu Xicheng added.

Hao the assistant was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted that the CEO was using outside help.

I'll try to contact people from S.S.

No matter how well someone tries to hide something, S.S. people can almost always find out.

An organization that sells its life for money.

When Ji Chuan left, the sky had darkened completely.

The past two days in the capital have been gloomy with overcast skies and strong winds. Mid-March is typically a period of cold snaps, but after this, it gets warmer gradually. This year's cold snap has been particularly severe, dropping to several degrees below zero. Forecasts predict that the capital will experience its first major snowfall of the year in the next few days.

Snow!

For the capital city, this is a gift from heaven after the year's end. The capital city is located in the northernmost part of the south and close to the north. Although winter is very cold, it rarely snows.

The next day, the snowflakes arrived as promised, but they weren't very big. They were small and delicate, melting into water before even reaching the ground.

If you raise your eyes to the sky, you can also see a fluffy mass that blurs your vision.

.......

As soon as I woke up and picked up my phone, messages kept coming in. In the group chat, Liu Fangli excitedly said that Beijing had snowed. She repeated it several times: Beijing had snowed! It's very rare for Beijing to have snow, and it has been five years since the last snowfall. During her three years in Beijing, she hadn't seen it snow.

She left the imperial capital on the 10th night, and it started snowing on the 12th. She really missed the opportunity. The snow in the imperial capital should be very beautiful, right As someone who lives in the south, she almost never has a chance to see snow. Her family even took her abroad to see snow, but she's never seen the snow in her own country. Mostly because she rarely goes out and spends all her time with books.

Today is her brother's birthday. After quickly washing up, she went to the dressing room and changed into a thick, cozy house robe before going downstairs.

They were all waiting for her to come downstairs for breakfast. Xu Yixue ate in silence, her parents and brother spoke little as well. Moreover, her brother kept getting phone calls during the meal, not even having time to eat, let alone talk about her birthday.

Xu Yixue ate a bit too much, her older brother accompanied her for a walk in the courtyard.

He trailed behind her, recalling something and murmured, "I'm going to Jiang City later and will be back this evening."

Xu Yixue spoke softly, barely audible. "Hmm."

"Come back early, today is your birthday."

"He just chuckled helplessly, "Yes, my dear Snow always spends every year with me."

Xu Hengwen: “I rushed back before dinner tonight.”

"...The present..." Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Shen had already arrived. He thought they were going to give it to him now.

"You can give me the gift later tonight. I like whatever you get, brother." Before she could finish speaking, he interrupted her voice, a hint of teasing in his next words.

"Good."

Patting her shoulder, Xu Hengwen coaxed softly, "Go back to the house, it's still a little cold."

After finishing the conversation, they left with Chen Shen. soft voice suddenly rang out, "Cheapskate."Ji Chuan, who was driving, almost stepped on the brake instead of the accelerator!Silence descended upon the car, a suffocating stillness that was palpable....
