It was early in the winter, just after six in the evening. There was a steady stream of traffic on the streets. Cars were turning on their lights one after another, and neon lights were flas.h.i.+ng on both sides of the road. Countless workers came out of office buildings and hurried home on the crowded bus.
On the second floor of a high-cla.s.s western restaurant, Qin Hai and Bai Ruyan sat facing each other. The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food. Qin Hai withdrew his gaze from the window and raised his gla.s.s in a toast to Bai Ruyan. "Cheers!"
Qin Haiqi said, "How did you know I just came back from Beijing?"
Bai Ruyan took a sip of wine, put down her gla.s.s, cut off a small piece of steak and picked it up with her fork. After examining it for a while, she answered with a question, "Actually, I don't really like western cuisine, especially steak. Do you know why? "
"You like vegetarians?" Qin Hai asked.
The corner of Qin Hai's mouth twitched. He cut off a piece of steak and put it into his mouth. He said unclearly, "vinegar is a good thing. I like it too!"
Bai Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then stopped laughing. She also put the steak into her mouth, and after chewing it a few times, she nodded slightly, "The steak made in this restaurant is not bad. You chose a good place. I used to like steak, too, but since my mother died, I stopped eating meat. Today, on account of you treating me to dinner, I've decided to have a good meal. "Well, I mean well, don't I?"
Looking at the smiling Bai Ruyan, Qin Hai smiled. "It seems like I still don't understand you well enough. Next time I'm treating you to a meal, I must find a better vegetarian restaurant."
"Then it's a deal, we still need to invite you next time!" Bai Ruyan mischievously blinked her eyes at Qin Hai, then covered her mouth and laughed.
Then, without waiting for Qin Hai's reply, Bai Ruyan continued cutting the steak and said, "It's normal that you don't understand me. I'm not Lin Qingya, and you're not thinking about me. "If you still don't understand Lin Qingya up until now, it would really be a bit unreasonable."
Qin Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I can't even accept your words!"
Bai Ruyan looked up at Qin Hai and smiled. She then lowered her head and continued to cut the steak, "Actually, I know about what you did every day. I'm paying attention to everything that happened to you and I want to know everything that happened to you. Moreover, Liu Qingmei's injury is such a big matter and it is impossible for her to hide it from everyone so even if I did not pay attention to you, I would have heard about it the first thing I did. "
From the looks of it, Bai Ruyan had been paying close attention to his movements.
Qin Hai secretly sighed. He looked at Bai Ruyan and said, "It's really hard on you!"
Qin Hai straightforwardly bit down on the beef, chewing it twice before swallowing it. He smiled and said, "Don't mention you. When we were together with our brothers in the past, sometimes it was normal for us to eat in a bowl and drink a bottle of wine."
Bai Ruyan blinked her eyes and asked, "When was that? When you were a soldier?"
"Secrets!" Qin Hai smiled mysteriously.
Bai Ruyan made a face, pouted and said, "You keep it a secret from me, right? If you want to find me for something, I won't agree."
Qin Hai smiled, lifted his gla.s.s and clinked it with Bai Ruyan's, saying, "I do have something to talk to you about. A few nights ago, among the people who ambushed us, there was a group of people called Brother Panther. Later on, I realized that this Brother Panther was once a member of your family. Do you know him?"
Bai Ruyan frowned and thought for a while, "The person you're talking about doesn't have his right ear?"
Bai Ruyan slightly frowned, "His name is Zeng Bao. He was indeed a member of our family before, but because his hands and feet were dirty, my father sent someone to cut off his ears and chase him out."
"Then do you know who he is closer to now?"
"I'm not sure. I need to check it out." Bai Ruyan suddenly smiled. "You invited me to dinner today for this matter?"
Qin Hai said, "Not really. I'm going out again soon. I'll probably need a few days to go to Sichuan Province." So today, I invited you over to first ask about that Ceng Bao, and second, to help you push him a bit, so that I wouldn't delay my treatment in Sichuan Province. "
Bai Ruyan curiously asked, "Why are you going to Sichuan Province? Are you planning to take Lin Qingya on a tour?"
"No, I had some things to do in the past."
"Can you take me with you?" Bai Ruyan's eyes lit up.
Qin Hai shook his head, "I don't know what will happen this time. There are too many mountains over there, and there are too many uncertainties. You might not be safe."
Bai Ruyan nodded in disappointment, showing that she understood. Then he raised his wine gla.s.s and said, "Then let's hurry up and eat. After we're done, give me a push."
After the meal, Qin Hai and Bai Ruyan returned to the Bai Clan and did a second ma.s.sage to Bai Ruyan using the reverse mantra of the Daoist Canon. It was a pity that the innately broken meridians in Bai Ruyan's body did not change at all.
After leaving the Bai Clan, Qin Hai drove back to Jade Dragon Island, Building 1. However, not long after he left, he noticed that there was a car following him. While waiting for the red light, Qin Hai turned his head to take a closer look, only to find that the car at the back was actually Yu Zimeng.
Just as the green light turned on, Qin Hai's cell phone suddenly rang twice. An unfamiliar number sent a message. The message had an address on it. "Reach here within ten minutes. Otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"
Regardless of whether the person who sent the message was deliberately mystifying or not, Qin Hai felt that it was necessary to go over and take a look.
Qin Hai listened attentively for a while at the door of the bungalow before pus.h.i.+ng open the unlocked door.
Inside the house, a person was curled up on the floor, motionless. This person's body was covered with wounds, and his hands and feet were tied with hemp rope. It was unknown if he was alive or dead.
"Little Jing!" At this moment, a cry of surprise came from outside the door. Yu Zimeng quickly rushed in, pushed away the Qin Sea, and hugged the unconscious Huo Xiaojing in her arms. Chapter error, point this report (registered free)
