Hearing that familiar voice, I, who had been tense and stiff, suddenly felt relieved. Zhang Qishan and Pan An beside me also smiled at the same time, because we all knew that the person who arrived in time was Bai Qi!
Judging from the brake sound just now, Bai Qi must have driven here very fast, and he knew about Director Ouyang's plan to set a Hongmen Banquet for us as soon as he got out of the car. Obviously someone told him that we were in danger, so he hurried over to save us, and that person could only be Director Li who just left.
At this moment, in addition to being grateful to Bai Qi for his timely arrival, I am also very grateful to Director Li. I have not had much contact with this person, but he has secretly helped me time and time again. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay him well.
When Director Ouyang saw Bai Qi suddenly appear at this time, his expression froze for a moment, then he said with a fake smile: "It turned out to be Chief Bai. I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
Bai Qi smiled and walked up to Director Ouyang, blocking us in front of him and said, "No, it's just that there have been a lot of things going on here recently, and the traffic has been more frequent. Director Ouyang, I heard that the case has been solved by Ji Wen. I wonder if you are satisfied with this child?"
Director Ouyang smiled and said, "Of course, you can solve the case in such a short time. I'm afraid that Li Hua from your special case team would be ashamed of himself. Since Chief Bai has made an appointment, I won't take away his love. If we have time in the future, let's have a meal together and exchange ideas. The case has just been solved, and I have some things to do over there, so I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."
"Thank you Director Ouyang for your help. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely have a couple of drinks with Director Ouyang."
After Bai Qi and Director Ouyang exchanged some polite words, Director Ouyang reluctantly led his people out of the hotel. After Director Ouyang left, the smile on Bai Qi's face gradually became solemn. Finally, he sighed and said, "I should have told you before coming here to try to have as little contact with Director Ouyang as possible. Unfortunately, it's still a step too late."
After Director Ouyang left, I felt relieved, as if I had survived a disaster. I hurriedly asked, "Uncle Bai, why did you come here so suddenly? Who is this Director Ouyang? Why do I feel that he calls you "sir" on the surface, but he doesn't mean it with respect?"
"I arrived this morning and encountered something that I was investigating at the police station. Just as I was on my way here, Chief Li suddenly called me and said that you were in danger, so I hurried over. Fortunately, you didn't go with him, otherwise, who knows what would happen."
It was Director Li who helped me escape. But before I could ask him in detail, Bai Qi raised his hand to stop me from continuing and said, "There are too many people here. Let's go out and eat something and find a quiet place to talk slowly."
Anyway, the case here has been solved, and it’s none of my business what happens to this hotel next, so Zhang Qishan and Pan An and I returned to our respective rooms, took out our luggage and checked out, then we got in Bai Qi’s car and followed Bai Qi to a very remote noodle restaurant, found a quiet seat and started eating.
I originally thought that when Bai Qi treated us, it should be something grand and elegant at the very least, but who knew he would be so stingy and only bring us here to eat noodles.
I looked at this noodle shop which didn't look very good and seemed to have no one eating there and said, "Uncle Bai, why are you so stingy?"
Bai Qi laughed helplessly and scolded: "You still have the nerve to say that? Most of my monthly salary goes into paying you. I'm poorer than you now! But since you're still trying hard, I won't bother with you. Just have a bowl of noodles. When you really join our special case team, I'll definitely treat you to a big meal."
After hearing what Bai Qi said, I was a little speechless. I looked around and made sure that there was no one else here, then I asked, "Uncle Bai, who is that Director Ouyang?"
Bai Qi heard me ask this question again, and sighed, "Do you remember what I told you about your father before you came?"
"Remember, could it be that Director Ouyang is the person my father offended in the past?" I asked in surprise.
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No, but this person is also related to that person back then. This Director Ouyang is the favorite student of the person your father offended back then, and it seems that he already knows that your father is Ji Yong. In short, this person is extremely insidious and cunning. He might set a trap for you at some point in time. Once you fall into his trap, you will really be doomed. So, in the future, if there is nothing else, try not to come to Yinchuan City. This is for your own good."
Judging from the way Bai Qi spoke, it didn't seem like he was exaggerating, but I continued to ask, "Who did my father offend back then? How could he have such a powerful force?"
Bai Qi looked at me and shook his head, "It's better for your father to tell you this in person. If your father doesn't want you to know about this, I naturally won't tell you. But that man is really powerful. Back then, your father had his son sentenced to death, so he had no descendants. To him, you and your father are his sworn enemies. Now I just hope that if you can join the special case team in the future, this news won't be known to him. Otherwise, even if you can join the special case team, I'm afraid you will face many tests, and at that time, I won't be able to help you."
After saying that, Bai Qi patted my shoulder and said, "But don't be discouraged. The law of nature will not let anything slip through. Those who do evil will sooner or later receive the punishment they deserve, even if it's not us who punish them. Besides, the situation is so good now that person will definitely not dare to do anything to you openly. You just need to concentrate on doing your own thing now. As long as you catch Qiongqi and destroy the God Organization, your future will be bright!"
In fact, I never thought that the person my father offended back then would make Bai Qi so afraid. Now I finally understand why my father wanted to live in seclusion in that small city in his hometown and lead an ordinary life. Ordinary people like us really can't afford to play with that group of people.
Seeing that we were all silent, Pan An asked, "Commander Bai, do you have a mission this time?"
Bai Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I came here this time for a mission. A few days ago, our special case team received a tip-off that someone had found traces of Qiongqi in Ningxia Province!"
Hearing this, I was still thinking about my father's affairs, and I was immediately shocked and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation. Li Hua has already come to Yinchuan City and started to follow up on this matter. If Qiongqi is really in Ningxia, I'm afraid his target is still you."
No matter what the reason for Qiongqi's appearance this time, I still feel extremely excited when I hear this person's name again. Compared to the fear I had when I first met him, I have grown a lot now, and I also have the confidence to face him again.
"Could it be that my plan succeeded so quickly?"
"I'm not sure about this yet. Anyway, let's wait for news and see what the results of Li Hua's investigation are. But what is certain is that if Qiongqi's target is really you, then you may face another competitor, that is Li Hua!"
At this point, Bai Qi sighed and said, "You know, Li Hua is the most capable person in our special case team. If you two encounter the same case, there will definitely be competition. This person is arrogant and strives to be the best in everything he does. So if you really meet each other, I hope you don't pay too much attention to his work style. At the same time, I also hope you don't lose to him. After all, compared with the two of you, I am more optimistic about you."
The Qiongqi alone had already piqued my interest, and now with the addition of Li Hua, I suddenly felt as if my blood was flowing faster, and my hands were shaking with excitement. I was really looking forward to the day when I could face off against them head-on!
"Uncle Bai, don't worry. I've heard of Li Hua's name for a long time. Now that I can meet him, I will naturally not lose to him. I have confidence in this!"
Seeing my confident look, Bai Qi smiled again and said, "I just like your confident look. I hope you won't let me down. I will stay in Ningxia Province during this period. If you need any help, just give me a call!"
After the meal, Bai Qi drove Zhang Qishan and me back to Zhongwei City, and he took Pan An away with him, and I don’t know where he went to carry out his mission.
When we arrived in Zhongwei City, it was already dark. For some reason, the weather was unusually cold today and there were not many pedestrians on the road. It seemed as if there were only Zhang Qishan and I left in the whole world.
Along the way, Zhang Qishan looked troubled. I asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You look unhappy?"
Zhang Qishan looked up at me when she heard my question, then shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just kept thinking about what happened to Huang Xu today. I felt that the person named Wu Qian had been playing tricks on Huang Xu, but Huang Xu was able to do so much for her. I really felt sorry for Huang Xu."
I smiled, reached out and touched Zhang Qishan's hair and said, "But I think that Wu Qian has Huang Xu in her heart. If Wu Qian didn't have Huang Xu in her heart, why would she help him conceal the fact of murder, and before she died, she also persuaded Huang Xu to turn back? People are all made of flesh and blood. No matter how hard-hearted a person is, they will not remain indifferent to someone who cares about them. Compared with Huang Xu, Wu Qian's boyfriend who is far away in her hometown is really not worth mentioning. At least Huang Xu feels satisfied to see Wu Qian every day, but her boyfriend has never shown up from beginning to end, and even did not show up when Wu Qian was killed."
As I said that, I sighed and said, "In fact, they are a real couple. If so many things hadn't happened, and if Huang Xu's actions hadn't been so extreme, perhaps it wouldn't be long before these two people would really be together. You are my guardian angel. This sentence sounds like a promise."
Zhang Qishan seemed to be interested after hearing this. He pulled me to his side and stared at me and said, "You are also my guardian star. If one day I am bullied like Wu Qian, will you be as extreme as Huang Xu?"
After Zhang Qishan said this, she stared at me closely without blinking. I saw great expectations in her eyes, but I still shook my head and said, "No."
After hearing what I said, Zhang Qishan's expectant look instantly turned into despair, and he slowly lowered his head. He looked indescribably lost and disappointed.
Looking at Zhang Qishan's cute look, I smiled, reached out and held her chin, lifted her head up again, bent down and kissed her deeply, then whispered my answer in her ear.
"Because I can only be more extreme than him!"
