Chapter 198: The Employer Dies



Su Qianbai was about to scream, but when she saw who was holding her, she held it back.

The man pulled Su Qianbai to a deserted corner before letting her go.

Su Qianbai, who had been full of questions for a long time, followed the man to the corner and immediately couldn't help asking, "Why did Lord Ning and Madam Ning get into trouble?"

When Su Qianbai heard the news from other people that Ning Qiuze and his wife were murdered, she was stunned and her first reaction was to doubt her ears.

Ning Qiuze is the prefect. Who on earth has such ability and courage to wipe out the entire family of a prefect?

Finally, he couldn't help it and wandered outside the government office.

When he spoke to the man, he couldn't hide the panic in his voice: "They were fine, why were they wiped out? Who did it?"

The man's reaction was even greater than Su Qianbai's. After pulling the person over, he did not forget to observe his surroundings.

After making sure that no one else was around, he lowered his voice and said with a dark face: "If you ask me, who should I ask?"

He didn't care about the nonsense, and before Su Qianbai asked, he quickly said to him: "Now that the employer is dead, you don't have to do what I asked you to do before."

Hearing this, Su Qianbai was stunned and looked even more panicked: "What should I do in the future..."

Interrupting Su Qianbai, the man lowered his voice even more: "What you do is your own business. It has nothing to do with me. From now on, you can do whatever you want, including the things your employer told you to do. You don't have to do them anymore. Just pretend that nothing happened."

After speaking quickly, the man turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing the man about to leave, Su Qianbai subconsciously reached out and grabbed him: "Wait."

Being stopped by Su Qianbai, the man turned back with an impatient look and glared at him fiercely: "It was Madam Ning who hired you, not me. Now that your employer is dead, just pretend you've never seen me. If you see me again in the future, just pretend you don't know me."

"And." He gave Su Qianbai a warning look and snorted coldly, "Su Qianbai, you are a smart person. You know what to say and what not to say. If you dare to speak nonsense, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

When the man first learned that Ning Qiuze's entire family had been wiped out, he was almost scared to death.

He didn't know who had killed Ning Qiuze's family, but he could guess that the person who did it must be no ordinary person.

Although he was only working for his employer, a prefect could kill him at will, let alone a small follower like him, who could be killed with just a flick of his finger.

If those people wanted to attack him, he would definitely not be able to escape.

In order to prevent Su Qianbai from talking nonsense and getting himself into trouble, the man warned him several times before leaving in a panic.

Su Qianbai, who was left behind, looked at the man's back, opened and closed his mouth, but did not dare to call him to stop. His expression was panic-stricken.

After staying at the corner for almost half an incense stick of time, Su Qianbai came out and walked towards the restaurant.

On the way back to the restaurant, Su Qianbai was in a daze.

When Su Qianbai returned to the restaurant and was about to cheer up and work, Niu Dazhuang's voice came from behind her: "Qianbai, you're back just in time."

He paused, turned around and looked at Niu Dazhuang, trying hard to smile and pretending to be puzzled: "Brother Dazhuang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"It's not me, it's Miss Song who wants to see you."

"Song, Miss Song is looking for me?"

"right."

The smile froze for no reason, Su Qianbai's fingers began to tremble, and his voice was stiff: "Brother Dazhuang, did Miss Song tell me what she wanted to talk to me about?"

"I don't know either. Miss Song is waiting for you in the backyard. She told you to go find her directly when you come back." Niu Dazhuang didn't notice Su Qianbai's abnormality and scratched his head and said, "Go over quickly and don't let Miss Song wait anxiously."

"Thank you, Brother Dazhuang." Su Qianbai walked towards the backyard almost at the same time. Her steps were slower than ever before, and she was extremely panicked.

Ning Qiuze and his wife had just been silenced, and Song Qianning went looking for him. Could it be that she knew about him...

"No, it won't." Ning Qiuze shook his head frantically, trying to comfort himself in his heart.

It was Song Qianning who took him in on her own initiative, and he never revealed any flaws from beginning to end, so he couldn't scare himself.

backyard.

Seeing Su Qianbai coming towards him, Song Qianning's expression was normal: "Qianbai, you're here."

Noticing that Song Qianning's expression was normal, Su Qianbai's worries receded a bit: "Miss Song, I heard from Brother Dazhuang that you were looking for me."

"That's right." Song Qianning nodded: "I want to ask you a question."

"Excuse me, Miss Song."

"Are you in the restaurant because of the Ning family?"

When asking the question, Song Qianning looked calm, with a smile on his lips, without any sign of annoyance, as if he was just asking casually.

After hearing the question from her mouth, Su Qianbai's smile froze on her face and she denied it without thinking.

"No, no, no, Miss Song, I have nothing to do with Madam Ning... the Ning family." His voice trembled unnoticed as he tried to remain calm. "I fainted outside Miss Song's restaurant, not because of the Ning family."

Su Qianbai's answer was within Song Qianning's expectations, so she just raised her eyebrows without showing any surprise on her face.

She nodded as if suddenly realizing something, and continued following Su Qianbai's instructions, "That's right, you fainted outside the restaurant, so it's impossible for you to be related to the Ning family."

As if she believed him, Song Qianning didn't dwell on the matter any further and changed the subject: "Qianbai, you've been in the restaurant for a while now. What are your plans next?"

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Su Qianbai heard her words and froze in place, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

He had appeared in the restaurant before because of Ning's instructions. Now that his employer, Ning, was dead, he could have left the restaurant, but...

A hint of hesitation involuntarily appeared on my face, and I even forgot to ask you.

During this period, Song Qianning's eyes were always on Su Qianbai, secretly observing his reaction, while recalling the other party's performance over the past few days.

Song Qianning knew from the beginning that Su Qianbai's purpose and motive for appearing in the restaurant were not pure, but she just pretended not to know.

It is undeniable that since coming to the restaurant, Su Qianbai has been extremely serious in his work.

He will take the initiative to do any work, is very diligent and smart.

Even some regular customers of the restaurant knew that the restaurant had a new hardworking helper, and Song Qianning had also heard a lot of praise for Su Qianbai from the guests.

In addition, whenever he was given a task, he would always finish it ahead of time.

Even though she knew that Su Qianbai's motives were not pure, Song Qianning had to admit that the other party's existence saved her a lot of time and trouble.

Song Qianning asked herself, apart from the relationship between Su Qianbai and Ning, there was nothing about him that made her dissatisfied, and he was a perfectly qualified helper.

It's not impossible to let him continue working in the restaurant.
