Who moved my novel?

"Hey, Director Wang, do you have time to come over tomorrow morning?" Dong Peng asked while cleaning the blood on his hands.

"Tomorrow morning?" Director Wang thought for a moment on the other side of the phone: "Sure, what time?"

"Five is okay? I'll come to see you and try not to disturb your work." Dong Peng looked at the schedule.

"Yeah, sure." Director Wang hesitated for a moment. Five o'clock was a bit early, but he finally agreed.

...

"Hello, Director Wang." Xue Mo shook hands with Director Wang respectfully.

"Hello, Xue Mo, I didn't expect you to come too." Director Wang said with some surprise.

"Today I am a supporting role." Dong Peng smiled slightly and said to Director Wang: "The main purpose is to build a bridge for Xue Mo and let him see you."

"Well... OK, if you have anything to say, just tell me." The person was already standing in front of him, and Director Wang couldn't just turn around and leave.

"Let's go to another place." Dong Peng smiled: "We can't chat on the street in the winter, right?"

After saying that, without waiting for Director Wang to nod, he continued: "There is a quiet bar nearby, which is very suitable for chatting. Why don't we go there and sit down?"

"Okay." Director Wang nodded. As Dong Peng said, standing on the street, especially in the middle of the night in winter, is really cold.

After driving for a few minutes, the bar is approaching.

"Director Wang, I came to you mainly to clarify with you that I am really not an accomplice."

As soon as he sat down, Xue Mo got straight to the point.

"Three glasses of lemonade." Dong Peng, on the other hand, was much calmer. He ordered three glasses of lemonade first, and then explained to Director Wang: "You have to go to work at dawn, so don't drink."

"No, no." Director Wang nodded quickly: "I almost vomited during the New Year. Don't let me drink again. Xue Mo, what did you say just now?"

"I mean, those cases really have nothing to do with me." Xue Mo scratched his head awkwardly: "Although the novels I wrote are a little similar to those cases, I am really not an accomplice."

"When did I say you are Accomplice?" Director Wang frowned slightly, looked at Dong Peng, and asked Xue Mo: "Who told you that?"

"I'm sorry, Director Wang." Dong Peng apologized quickly: "I shouldn't have said this, but I know Xue Mo well. He is usually very honest. It's not too much to say that he is a coward. He can't do such a thing."

"Of course I believe you." Director Wang looked at Xue Mo intently: "I just said it casually that day, but since I met him today, I have something to ask you."

"Director Wang, please tell me." Xue Mo nodded quickly.

"Where did you get the inspiration for these cases you wrote?" Director Wang asked, and afraid that Xue Mo would not tell the truth, he added: "This is very critical, and it may even save lives. Even if you plagiarized, please tell me, I will keep it confidential for you, and my duty is only to protect the safety of Chixin City."

"I dreamed of it." Xue Mo remembered that he had told Director Wang this.

"This is really important." Director Wang reiterated.

"I really wrote it myself, there is no plagiarism." Xue Mo answered again very seriously.

I dare not say whether it is good or not, but Xue Mo has always insisted on originality.

"Well... okay." Director Wang nodded, but it was obvious that he had not given up his suspicion of Xue Mo.

"Hello, sir, your lemonade." At this time, the waiter walked towards the crowd with a plate.

However, just as the waiter was about to put the lemonade on the table in front of everyone, a drunk man suddenly stumbled past the waiter, stumbled, and hit the waiter directly.

"Crash!" The cups fell from the tray onto the table under the impact, and three cups of lemonade instantly rushed towards Director Wang mixed with broken glass.

"Sorry, sorry." The waiter apologized repeatedly.

However, Director Wang and Dong Peng's eyes were cast on the "drunk" just now.

Director Wang did not smell alcohol from the man at all, and... the man pretended to be a waiter and not only did not stop to check, but hurriedly slipped out of the back door of the bar.

All these behaviors are abnormal.

"You guys deal with it here, I'll go out first." Director Wang didn't care about the water stains and broken glass on his body, and hurried to chase the man to where he disappeared.

"I'll go too, Xue Mo, sorry, you pay the bill." Dong Peng apologized and followed Director Wang to the back door of the bar.

"What happened?" As soon as Director Wang and Dong Peng left, the duty manager of the bar hurried over: "Ah, how could you be so careless and spill the guests' drinks on the table."

First, he scolded the waiter, and then the manager looked at Xue Mo.

"Hello, sir, I'm the duty manager today. Are you not injured?"

This service attitude made Xue Mo unable to say anything even if he wanted to say something, not to mention that with Xue Mo's personality, he would not care about these things.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xue Mo waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm fine."

"Manager, this gentleman's companion was splashed with lemonade." Xue Mo didn't say anything, but the waiter told the situation himself.

"Oh! Really!" The duty manager looked anxious: "Sir, how is your companion now? Is he injured?"

"No, no." The duty manager was too enthusiastic, making Xue Mo feel uncomfortable: "He left first because of something urgent, don't worry about it."

"That's good." The manager on duty breathed a sigh of relief and patted the waiter beside him: "Don't be stunned and apologize to the guest quickly."

"I'm sorry, sir." The waiter acted quickly. Before Xue Mo could react, he bowed at a ninety-degree angle and apologized politely.

"No, no." Xue Mo waved his hands quickly: "It's not your fault. Someone bumped into you just now, and we all saw it."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, sir." The waiter bowed again.

"Okay, you go ahead. I'll take care of it here." Seeing Xue Mo, the manager relented and didn't embarrass the waiter any more.

"Sir." The manager on duty took out two cards from his pocket: "I have the final say on today's consumption, and I will give you all the bills for free. The things you just knocked over will be repaid to you later."

"It's not necessary." Xue Mo quickly refused. Anyway, it was just a few glasses of lemonade, so it wasn't expensive.

"I know this is not enough to express our apology. This is our SVIP membership card, which can enjoy a 15% discount. I'm sorry to disturb you and your friends. This is my business card. If your friend has one, If you feel any discomfort, please call me immediately and we will take full responsibility.”

After that, the manager handed the card to Xue Mo, then personally picked up the rag and wiped off the water stains on the table in front of Xue Mo.
