Bai Qi and Officer Yang talked with me in the ward for a whole morning. During that time, Zhang Qishan was so sleepy that he left to go home and rest. By noon, my medicine bottles had been completely hung up, and our conversation ended there. Officer Yang had a lot of follow-up work to do, so he rushed to the Bai Building to direct the scene before lunch. Bai Qi asked me to go out for lunch together. During the lunch, Bai Qi handed me an envelope wrapped in brown paper. I knew that was my reward this time.
This was the first time I didn't want money when I saw it. It wasn't because I was rich, but because I felt that I was unworthy of the money.
When it comes to money, Bai Qi has always been very generous to me. When he saw that I didn't want it, he just gave it to me. But then Bai Qi asked me a strange question.
"What do you think of Xiaolin?"
I don't know what got Bai Qi to ask me this, and I don't know how to answer, so I said, "She is very good, beautiful, responsible at work, and it is very rare to find a girl as beautiful as her who is not tainted by today's social trends. Uncle Bai, why are you asking me this?"
Bai Qi smiled mysteriously and said, "If she were with you, would you think it would be a good thing?"
Bai Qi completely confused me. I stared at his deep eyes for a long time, but I couldn't guess what he was going to say, so I said, "Uncle Bai, if Lin Yingxue can become my girlfriend, it would be a great honor for my ancestors. But I think it's impossible. After all, she's so perfect, and I'm still a poor bastard. If we really get together, it won't last long."
These words are indeed the truth in my heart. After these few contacts, I found that I really like Lin Yingxue a little, but I also have to keep my distance at all times. If I really develop this liking to the point where it is hopeless, then I will be the only one who will destroy myself.
Bai Qi shook his head disapprovingly and said, "You still don't know Xiao Lin very well. Although she targeted you before, I know that this girl rarely pays attention to other boys. Although her attitude towards you was cold before, she still has some attitude after all. I think she may be interested in you."
I almost spit out my food on Bai Qi's face. This is simply a fantasy. How could Lin Yingxue be interested in me? I would rather believe that I am a woman.
Bai Qi ignored my surprised look and continued, "Yesterday, I found out that the express was sent from Zhongwei City. Maybe Qiongqi is in Zhongwei City. That girl was so anxious that she arrived in Zhongwei City before me to support you. Isn't this a sign of concern for you? Don't feel inferior. I won't make promises to others easily, but once I make a promise, I will do my best to fulfill it. I promise you that as long as your performance is outstanding enough, I will risk my life to recruit you into our special case team. By then, your status will be equal, and you will naturally not have this feeling of inferiority, don't you think?"
I really wonder why Bai Qi has to use this rhetoric to make me feel that Lin Yingxue is interested in me. It seems that he is determined to bring Lin Yingxue and me together. Although I am still a little worried about such a future in my heart, I still have some expectations. If I can marry a beauty like Lin Yingxue as my wife, I will wake up smiling in my dreams.
In fact, Bai Qi is very good at observing others. I can't even begin to match his ability to judge people. Perhaps that is why he can sit in the top position of the special case team.
I suddenly remembered that Qiongqi and Xiyangyang seemed to have mentioned a person named Li Hua last night, and put this person in the same position as Bai Qi. I didn't ask much at the time, but now I suddenly remembered it, so I asked: "Uncle Bai, is there a person named Li Hua in your special case team?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Bai Qi looked at me in surprise.
"A criminal mentioned this person last night. What is his background that attracted the attention of Qiongqi and his gang?"
Bai Qi's eyes gradually became strange, and he said, "So they brought it up. I thought you had guessed some clues and scared me. This Li Hua is indeed a talent. He has been in our special case team for almost three years. He is young, smart, and trusted by his colleagues. He is currently investigating a case about the God Organization in Tianjin. I believe those people must have discovered Li Hua's ability through this case, but..."
Bai Qi seemed to be hesitant to speak, and I hurriedly urged him to continue. For some reason, I felt that I seemed to be very interested in this Li Hua, as if this person was a subtle threat to me.
"It's just that this Li Hua may be your future rival in love, because he has been pursuing Xiao Lin, but our Xiao Lin doesn't like him. This person has always been hailed as my successor, but I don't want him to take over my management of the special case team. Although this person is capable and smart, it's a pity that he is too ambitious. If he is given too much power, sooner or later he will get into trouble because of his ambition. That's why I hope to recruit you and train you to be my successor."
I basically didn't take Bai Qi's subsequent words to heart. I don't know why, but when I heard the word "love rival", my heart suddenly twitched violently. I seemed to have seen a handsome young man holding Lin Yingxue's hand, and a scene appeared in front of me, showing the talented man and beautiful woman walking past me with a smile.
Maybe it's because I can't hide my feelings, all my emotions are written on my face, Bai Qi reached out and patted my shoulder and said: "Don't worry, in my opinion, Xiao Lin cares more about you than Li Hua now. If you really don't want Xiao Lin to be snatched away by Li Hua, then you have to work hard and realize your plan as soon as possible. By then, you will be successful and famous, and maybe you can even marry a beautiful woman. It's killing two birds with one stone. It all depends on how hard you work."
At this moment, I was completely hostile to the Li Hua I had never met. I snorted coldly and said to Bai Qi, "Don't worry, I won't let that happen. But if I want to continue to implement my plan, I'm afraid that Lin Yingxue will look down on me for this."
"All this is only temporary. It won't be long before she knows your intentions. By then, you will definitely become great in her heart. Wouldn't your chances of pursuing her be greater?"
After Bai Qi finished speaking, he suddenly stared at me and asked, "You are from Sichuan Province, right? Since your last name is Ji, do you know a man named Ji Yong?"
"Ji Yong? That's my father, what's wrong? Uncle Bai, do you know my dad?" I didn't expect to hear my father's name from Bai Qi's mouth. It immediately made me feel a little magical. Could it be that these two people really knew each other before
After hearing my answer, Bai Qi nodded with an expression of "as expected". "No wonder. When I first saw you, I thought you two looked a bit similar. It turns out that old guy is your father. No wonder you have such excellent insight and reasoning ability. Your family's genes are really strong."
As far as I can remember, I don't remember my father being a policeman. Why did Bai Qi say that? I immediately asked, "Uncle Bai, could it be that my father was also a member of your special case team?"
"Since he hasn't told you yet, I won't say much. When he wants to tell you, you'll know. If you see him next time, remember to tell him that an old friend sends his regards."
I was very depressed during the lunch. Not only did I know the secret that my father had hidden for many years, but I also knew that I had a potential rival in love. This made me very upset. After saying goodbye to Bai Qi, I went back home to rest and never got involved in Bai Lou's affairs again.
A few days later, my fingers had almost recovered and I had basically no problem clicking the mouse. Just as I was working hard to play in the gold qualifying match, a WeChat message suddenly came to my phone. I opened it and saw that it was from Lin Yingxue, and the content only had two words.
coward.
When I saw these two words, I felt my heart suddenly go cold. Although I had known that this would be the result, when I really faced it, I was still confused and unable to accept these two words. I stared at the screen of my mobile phone for a long time and ignored the game on the computer in front of me.
I really wanted to tell Lin Yingxue that I was not a coward, but she had already blocked me on WeChat. I could only smile bitterly, turned around and left. I had nothing to say. I lay silently on the bed and began to recall the plan that I had talked about with Officer Yang and Bai Qi that day.
Ever since we parted at Bailou, I believe that even if Qiongqi knew that I was not dead, he would not attack me. He has his pride and would not attack someone like me who poses no threat, nor would he commit murder again to play with me. From now on, I am just an ordinary person in his eyes.
In other words, from now on, I will no longer have any intersection with Qiongqi, and the special case team will lose the best way to capture Qiongqi, so my plan is to make Qiongqi notice me again!
Only in this way can I have contact with Qiongqi again, so that his whereabouts can be known to the special case team. But if this is the case, I can no longer rely on the special case team, because this department is currently a completely confidential department to the outside world, and Bai Qi and I also feel that there seems to be a Qiongqi traitor inside the special case team. If I follow Bai Qi to continue solving the case, Qiongqi will probably know everything, and it will be difficult for Qiongqi to focus on me again. Besides, I always have the protection of the special case team, and I feel a little restrained.
So next, the special case team will also announce the termination of cooperation with me, and the reason may be that I am afraid and choose to withdraw, which is why Lin Yingxue said I am a coward. I want to participate in the investigation of some cases in my own name. Only in this way can my name gradually spread to the ears of Qiongqi, and only in this way can I attract the attention of Qiongqi's God Organization again.
Of course, to do this, I must perfectly solve all the cases that Officer Yang quietly provided to me in the next period of time. The faster I go, the more I can attract the attention of Qiongqi and make Qiongqi's whereabouts resurface. At the same time, the sooner I can meet Lin Yingxue again and let her understand that everything I do is well-intentioned!
"Lin Yingxue, wait for me. I will prove to you with my actions that I, Ji Wen, am not a coward!"
