Bai Qi had originally said that he would give us a day off today to have a good rest, but suddenly he wanted to hold a meeting. This surprised me a little, after all, this kind of thing had never happened to Bai Qi before.
In my opinion, either some strange case has occurred again and time is running out so Bai Qi needs us to investigate it as soon as possible, or it is related to Bai Qi’s disappearance last night. In short, in my heart, the Bai Qi who has gradually become a family member has become a stranger again.
Bai Longfei and I walked towards the office together. On the way, I noticed that Bai Longfei seemed to have just taken a shower, and there were obvious traces of sweat in his hair, so I asked him where he had been.
Bai Longfei chuckled and said, "Of course I went to exercise. I have seldom exercised since I graduated, and my physical fitness is totally different from before. After all, I will be fighting with that Titan soon. No matter what, I have to restore my strength to its peak state, otherwise I really have no confidence in facing him."
Bai Longfei said that he had no confidence, but his eyes seemed to be burning at this moment, and it seemed that he was very much looking forward to the duel with Titan.
It has been a long time since I saw him so motivated. I was silent for a while, then said, "Brother Long, you don't have to fight Titan. It's not that I don't believe you, but I think that if you want to defeat Titan, you will have to pay a price. The relationship between Titan and Qiongqi seems to be the best at the moment. As long as we can catch him, Qiongqi will definitely be exposed. Don't you think so?"
Before I finished speaking, Bai Longfei raised his hand to stop me from continuing, then sighed and said, "I understand what you mean. The day when I dueled with Titan was indeed the best way to catch Titan, but I won't allow you to do that. No one can stop me from dueling with him. You can't understand how I feel when I meet an opponent. It's like Qiongqi wants to compete with you in solving a case. Would you easily let someone interrupt you?"
Bai Longfei's words really touched my heart. From another perspective, I couldn't easily give up the opportunity to compete fairly with Qiongqi. Bai Longfei smiled and said, "I finally met an opponent. I can't let him go so easily, right? I can find someone to catch him under the pretext of competing with him, but after catching him, I'm afraid I will never live with my conscience. Don't worry, after I defeat him, I will catch him and bring him back to the special case team. You can interrogate him however you want, but when we duel, I hope you don't interfere."
Looking at Bai Longfei's determined eyes, I really had no way to refuse, so I could only sigh and say, "Then you must win! I will come over to cheer you up when the time comes. Don't worry, it's just me, and at most Xiaoxue, and I will definitely not disturb you."
Bai Longfei smiled relievedly, patted my shoulder and said, "This is my good brother! But come to think of it, don't just worry about me, you should solve your own problems first."
"My business? What's that?"
Bai Longfei rolled his eyes at me and said, "Why are you pretending to be so rude to me? I heard everything you said to Lin Yingxue last night. How come I didn't realize you were such a cheesy person before? But since you admitted your feelings for her yesterday, why did you ignore her on purpose? Didn't you feel that Lin Yingxue was about to cry on the way back?"
When I mentioned Lin Yingxue again, I felt my brain suddenly go numb, and my heart seemed to be tightly squeezed by something, making it hard for me to breathe.
When I thought of Lin Yingxue about to cry, I felt a pang of pain in my heart, but I was also very scared. I was afraid that if I really got together with Lin Yingxue, how would I face Zhang Qishan in the future? What would it be like if I met Zhang Qishan again one day? What kind of situation would I be in then
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Bai Longfei sighed and said, "I know you are worried about Zhang Qishan, but let the past be the past. Since she left on her own initiative and didn't leave you any contact information, and even didn't come back to find you for such a long time, can't you see that? She wants to completely sever this relationship with you, which means that the two of you are not from the same world at all. Why make yourself so miserable?"
"I think Lin Yingxue is a very good girl. She is so beautiful and can cook. Although she seems a little cold and unapproachable on the surface, this is also one of her advantages. If you are together in the future, she will definitely be devoted to you. Besides, when you are really together, maybe she will become gentle for you. I dare to bet with you that if you lose Lin Yingxue, you will never find such a good girl in your life. You can decide for yourself."
As we were talking, we had already arrived at the downstairs of the office building. I looked up at the stairs in front of me and sighed, "Give me some time to think about it. This is a responsible decision. If we make such a hasty decision, wouldn't it hurt the girl? Anyway, don't worry, Brother Long, I can handle this matter."
Bai Longfei then chuckled and said, "Okay, then hurry up. Your sister-in-law and I are planning to get married at the end of this year. Then maybe we can hold the wedding together. What a lively scene that would be, haha!"
We went upstairs while talking and soon arrived at the conference room. Bai Qi was already sitting inside, rubbing his eyes and resting. I took a quick glance at the conference room and found that almost everyone from the special case team was already there, including Ding Yang, Pan An, Lu Feng, and of course Lin Yingxue.
Bai Qi saw us coming in and shook his head helplessly, "Long Fei, are you always late? I'll deduct your attendance record later. Hurry up and sit down!"
Bai Longfei stuck out his tongue, then took me into the conference room and sat directly next to Lin Yingxue. Lin Yingxue and I sat together, and I glanced at her secretly, but found that she seemed not to see me at all. Her eyes were fixed on Bai Qi in front of her, and she ignored me.
Seeing Lin Yingxue like this, I didn't know what to do. I suddenly felt a little flustered. Just as I was about to speak to Lin Yingxue, Bai Qi on the stage cleared his throat and said, "I asked everyone to come to the meeting today because I want to announce something. Before the announcement, let me briefly summarize the achievements of our special case team from the second half of last year to now. Although our special case team has fewer cases during this period, the number of cases we have solved has caught up with our usual annual plan. This is something worth celebrating!"
Bai Qi listed some of the key cases in recent period of time on the stage and praised them. There were many cases that I participated in, and there were many cases that I had not heard of, but were completed by other members of the special case team. In short, when Bai Qi announced them, everyone in the audience was excited, expecting Bai Qi to praise them, but I felt more and more confused. Why did Bai Qi suddenly do this? Normally, this kind of summary meeting should be held at the end of the year
Bai Qi talked nonstop for nearly an hour. When I was almost falling asleep, he finally finished his summary and said seriously, "Due to the excellent performance of our special case team during this period, I decided to reward each member appropriately."
"Everyone has been so busy with their own things that they have no time to rest. Sometimes during the holidays, we have to work overtime. This is not good for your body and mind. So I decided that from today on, the special case team will officially enter the holiday period. The holiday will last for two months. The special case team will restart after two months. Now everyone should start packing their luggage and enjoy your precious holiday life!"
Bai Qi's tone became passionate at the end, and everyone in the audience was silent for a while, and then burst into enthusiastic carnival! Some people even stood on the table and started dancing, just like students who were happy to hear the teacher say that tomorrow would be a holiday.
However, when everyone was happy, Bai Longfei, Lin Yingxue beside me and I were all shocked. Others didn’t know what happened yesterday, but the three of us knew it very well!
You have to know that the special case team, or Bai Qi's biggest wish, is to eradicate the God Organization and capture Qiongqi, so he asked me to come to the special case team to help. The biggest reason is that I can lure out the mysterious Qiongqi himself.
Last night, Qiongqi personally issued a declaration of war to me, proving that our plan has finally succeeded after such a long time. I also successfully lured Qiongqi out alone. This is also a major event in the special case team. If this matter is handled well, Qiongqi will be arrested and the God Organization will be completely eradicated.
But I really can't understand why Bai Qi decided to give the special case team a holiday at this critical moment? This sounds like a fantasy!
I turned to look at Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue. Lin Yingxue had a bewildered look on her face, while Bai Longfei was so anxious that he could no longer sit still. He stood up and was about to question Bai Qi's decision in public. I immediately stopped him and said, "Don't panic. Uncle Bai might have other plans. After all, only a few of us know about what happened yesterday. We will ask after everyone leaves. If you question him now, it will definitely arouse public anger."
Bai Longfei sat back in his chair unwillingly, gritting his teeth and said, "What's wrong with this old man recently? Why does he always make such weird decisions? Do you think he has Alzheimer's disease?"
I did not answer Bai Longfei's words, but kept staring at Bai Qi who was smiling on the stage, wondering why he did this. Bai Qi inadvertently saw me looking at him, but he did not dare to meet my eyes and immediately turned his head away!
