Chapter 236 Extra 7 As expected, when people are confused, as long as...
Pang Le ran fast and came back fast.
Just two days after having a meal with Lu Tingfeng, Guan Xia received a call from Pang Le, who excitedly asked her if she wanted to go home with her to play for two days.
Guan Xia still remembered the promise she had made in Linchang City, and was naturally moved, but after taking a look at Xu Nian beside her, she hesitated again.
Guan Xia thought about it and did not agree immediately, but after hanging up the phone, she seriously discussed it with Xu Nian.
Xu Nian realized something from Guan Xia's expression, put down the half-read album, raised his eyebrows and waited for Guan Xia to speak.
Guan Xia felt a little embarrassed, but she still said honestly, "Pang Le just called me and asked if I wanted to go to her house. I agreed to this when we were chasing Wu Yang in Linchang City."
Even though Xu Nian was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, he was used to suppressing all his emotions in his heart, so his face didn't show any of it. He just gently brushed a tuft of Guan Xia's fallen hair, tucked it behind her ear, and asked gently, "Do you want to go?"
Guan Xia didn't intend to hide her true thoughts and nodded very frankly, "I want to go. I've been curious about Pang Le's family for a long time."
Xu Nian smiled and said, "Then go. My vacation only lasts two days. You and Pang Le go out and play, and I'll go back to work."
Guan Xia calculated the time. It had been almost a week since Xu Nian returned from Jianyang City. For a criminal policeman, it was indeed a long vacation.
Guan Xia was delighted to have found the best of both worlds so easily. She cupped Xu Nian's face and kissed him on the chin, then said excitedly, "That's perfect. I'll pack my suitcase in the next two days and buy some Yongquan City specialties as a gift. When you go to work, Pang Le and I will go to her house together."
There were clearly only two days left, but as Guan Xia spoke, she felt that time was running out. Before Xu Nian could react, she suddenly stood up, took out the suitcase and started busying around.
Xu Nian was originally distracted by Guan Xia's kiss. He reacted instinctively and wanted to grab Guan Xia and kiss her twice more. However, before he could reach out his hand, Guan Xia quickly left him and went to pack her luggage. He was at a loss for words.
Two days passed in a flash. With Xu Nian's help, Guan Xia didn't have to worry about anything. She just packed everything she needed to bring and prepare the gifts.
They had to separate after just a few days of being together. Guan Xia didn't think much of it at first, but when Xu Nian sent her to the airport, she felt reluctant to leave. However, she was not a clingy person, so she just hugged Pang Le reservedly to show her reluctance when they parted, and then happily went to security with Pang Le to board the plane.
Lu Tingfeng also came to see her off today. He was much more shameless than Guan Xia. Although he was a big man of almost 1.9 meters tall, he held Pang Le in his arms with a wronged look on his face and refused to let go. He even rubbed his face on Pang Le's shoulders in a coquettish manner, expressing his reluctance to leave. It was not until Pang Le got impatient and pushed him away that he reluctantly let go.
Guan Xia and Xu Nian both looked disgusted, but unlike Guan Xia's straightforward disgust, Xu Nian also had a hint of envy in his expression. He actually wanted to be a little shameless, but his personality was like that. No matter how much courage he mustered, he really couldn't do it in public. Therefore, Xu Nian's expression of disgust was particularly real and forced.
After finally saying goodbye to their respective boyfriends, Guan Xia and Pang Le walked into the waiting room. As they sat down on the chairs, they asked curiously, "Why are there just the two of us? You didn't call Sister Ji and Zhong Xiaoyu?"
Pang Le has always been a person who likes to be lively. Guan Xia originally thought that there would be several people together, but unexpectedly, there were only the two of them today.
Pang Le felt a little depressed when talking about this. He curled his lips and said, "Sister Ji's reinstatement into the police force happened to be completed two days ago. She has to report back to the precinct and can't leave. Zhong Xiaoyu originally wanted to go, but her father had some trouble again and she was in a hurry to go back and deal with it. So she can only go with me next time."
Guan Xia was both disappointed and happy for Ji An. She couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Ji is returning to the police force. That's great. But why didn't she tell us about such a big happy event? Otherwise, we should have celebrated it before she returned to Shangshuang City."
Pang Le stretched out his long legs lazily and said casually, "You know Sister Ji's personality. She's always been reserved and afraid of causing trouble for others. Also, her return to the police force is a great joy for us, but for her, it's like going home. It's normal that she doesn't want to celebrate."
Guan Xia nodded in agreement, "That's right, but this way, it won't be easy to see Sister Ji in the future."
After all, they had been through life and death together. Although Guan Xia was happy for Ji An, she still felt a little lost and reluctant. After all, the two provinces were quite far apart, and the nature of Ji An's work made it difficult for them to meet.
Pang Le was much more relaxed. He grinned and said, "What's so difficult about this? If you really miss her so much, the worst that can happen is that you go to their branch office and solve a couple of cases. With your great achievements, they'll definitely worship you if you go there. By then, they won't have to ask you to do anything; they'll send Sister Ji to work with you."
Guan Xia thought about it and immediately stopped feeling melancholy and started grinning.
The two looked at each other and laughed for a while. Pang Le finally regained his composure and nudged Guan Xia with his elbow, saying, "I forgot to ask you what's going on between you and Xu Nian. There wasn't even a hint of anything when I asked you last time. But I've only been away for a few days and you two are openly hugging each other. When did this happen? How come I didn't notice anything at all?"
Speaking of this, Guan Xia's face was filled with resentment. She looked at Pang Le and said dimly, "On the night when you and Lu Tingfeng got married, you were so obsessed with the beauty that day, how could you spare the time to pay attention to me?"
Pang Le felt guilty about this, scratching his cheek in embarrassment as he said, "My fault, my fault. I shouldn't have drunk so much in the heat of the moment, and even insisted that Lu Tingfeng take me home with ulterior motives, not letting you do it. If I had listened to you, I wouldn't have run away for several days to avoid him."
Guan Xia wasn't actually that curious, but after hearing that, she restrained herself for two seconds before leaning closer to Pang Le and whispering, "What's going on between you two? You were avoiding Lu Tingfeng like the plague before, but in less than two days, you two are inseparable. Look at how shy Lu Tingfeng is. It's almost unbearable to look at him. I don't know where he got such a thick skin."
Pang Le didn't think Lu Tingfeng was shameless, but rather that he was cute. He first revealed a somewhat sweet smile, and then whispered, "Actually, I don't know what happened, but he seemed to have suddenly figured it out overnight. He talked to me openly and frankly for a long time, saying that after Wu Yang's case and saving Meng Lan, he suddenly realized the true meaning of life. Life is too short, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow or in the future, so we should focus on the present and cherish every minute and every second we spend, rather than looking forward to the future. When I heard that, isn't this my philosophy? So I gritted my teeth and got together with him."
Guan Xia glanced at Pang Le and only believed her 80% of what she said. She gritted her teeth. Based on her understanding of Pang Le, she was afraid that there was no struggle at all. When she heard that Lu Tingfeng finally no longer wanted to be with her forever, she immediately agreed happily.
Faced with Guan Xia's suspicious eyes, Pang Le felt guilty for only a second, and then she immediately became confident. She did not lie. Although it was indeed a bit exaggerated, it was almost the same as before.
Pang Le’s home is not in Dingyuan Province, but in Xingyi Province, thousands of kilometers northeast of Dingyuan Province.
Compared to Dingyuan Province, Xingyi Province is colder and the air is a little drier, but Guan Xia has adapted well to the weather thanks to his running around for the past six months and the recent fitness exercises.
After the plane landed, the person who came to pick him up was Pang Le's younger brother Pang Qi. Guan Xia had met him twice. He was a tall and strong guy who didn't look much like Pang Le, but was also handsome and shy. Of course, shyness was just a stereotypical first impression. In fact, this guy was very outgoing. Since the first time he met Guan Xia, he called her Sister Guan Xia.
It was the same this time. Although they were not very familiar with each other and it had been almost a year since they last met, Pang Qi did not feel unfamiliar at all. He kept calling her "sister" and snatched the box from Guan Xia's hand very smoothly. He stuffed it into the trunk together with Pang Le's, one in each of his hands.
After Guan Xia and Pang Le got in the car, Pang Qi started the car and spoke enthusiastically, "You've been sitting on the plane for several hours. Are you tired? Are you hungry too? I put some snacks on the back window. Sister Guan Xia, you don't have to be polite. Just take whatever you want to eat. There is also water. You can eat something first and have a good meal when you get home. My father has already cooked the meal, and my mother has called several times to ask about it. The fruit has been washed and served on the table. We are just waiting for you to go back."
Even though Guan Xia had a very good relationship with Pang Le, he was still a little flattered when he heard this, and said that you are too polite.
Pang Qi smiled and said, "Sister Guan Xia, you are too polite. You and my sister are good friends, so you are one of us. When you get home, don't treat yourself as an outsider. Just treat it as your own home and do whatever you want. Don't be polite."
Even if Guan Xia was given another twenty years, she would not be able to be so awesome. She could only nod and say "okay, okay" all the time.
Pang Le knew Guan Xia's character very well. Seeing this, he patted the back of Pang Qi's chair and said as a matter of course: "I will take care of my friend myself. You just drive your car well and say less."
Pang Qi had been bullied by Pang Le for so many years, but he was not angry at all when he heard this. He still smiled and nodded in a good-tempered manner, "Okay, okay, then I'll concentrate on driving, you two chat, you two chat."
Without Pang Qi's enthusiastic chat, Guan Xia felt relieved and a little more at ease.
Pang Le's house was not far from the airport. Guan Xia and Pang Le chatted casually. Before they could take in the scenery along the way, they felt Pang Qi brake and they had arrived at their destination.
Pang Le was extremely excited and dragged Guan Xia out of the car. He didn't care about Pang Qi at all. He left him with a rather indifferent back, rushed into the unit with Guan Xia and ran up to the third floor.
As soon as I stepped onto the stairs to the third floor, a door on the left opened from the inside out, revealing a face that looked a bit like Pang Le, but more radiant. Time seemed to be particularly tolerant to this face. Even though there were fine lines on her face, it did not affect her beauty at all. Needless to say, this was Pang Le's mother.
Pang Le's mother was also tall and seemed very sociable. She smiled with surprise the moment she saw Pang Le and Guan Xia. She was very casual, pulling each of them in her arms and saying happily, "You're finally back. Her father and I have been missing you for the past two days. Her father even went out to buy groceries at daybreak, insisting that his daughter and her best friend were back and that they should be treated with the highest standards."
While dragging the two into the house, Pang Le's mother shouted, "Old Pang, stop messing with your dishes. Come out quickly. Your daughter has brought her friend back. Come and see her. She's a pretty and gentle girl. She's very pleasing to the eye."
Entering the house, Guan Xia noticed the kitchen door was closed. The rumbling sound of the range hood inside didn't mask the loud voice of another person, "Got it, I'll be right out."
Guan Xia was so enthusiastic that she was dragged by Pang Le's mother and forced to sit on the sofa. Then Pang Le's mother poured water for her and brought her fruits and snacks. She was so busy that Guan Xia felt flattered and uncomfortable. She wanted to get up and help out together.
Pang Le noticed Guan Xia's discomfort, laughed heartily, and pulled Guan Xia aside, saying, "My mother is like this. Ever since I can remember, she has always been particularly welcoming to guests who come to our house. If I go home once every year, I'll still receive this kind of treatment, but if it's been six months, she won't be treated this way. She even kind of dislikes you coming back too often."
Pang Le whispered something in Guan Xia's ear, and finally got her to sit down peacefully.
Two minutes later, the coffee table in front of Guan Xia was piled with fruits, snacks and local specialties. The kitchen door, which had been tightly closed, finally opened, and a tall, thin, and gentle-looking middle-aged man walked out, which was exactly in line with Guan Xia's stereotype of a high school teacher.
But at this time, the high school teacher was wearing an apron, holding a dish in one hand and a spatula in the other. She smiled shyly at Guan Xia, then said, "You are Pang Le's best friend Guan Xia, right? You are really a good kid. I heard that you are an artist. You look talented."
Guan Xia responded politely, but subconsciously she thought that she had figured out who Pang Qi looked like. Not only did he look like his father, but even the shyness on his face was exactly the same, which was very confusing.
While Guan Xia was trying to socialize, Pang Qi finally came up carrying two huge suitcases. He looked a bit troubled. After finally putting them down, he rubbed his wrist and yelled, "Hey, sister, what's in your suitcase? It's so heavy. Did you put two dumbbells in it? It's so heavy that I can't even balance it. I almost fell down the stairs just now."
Pang Le didn't feel sorry for his brother at all. Instead, he looked at him with disdain, "You've grown so big for nothing. You can't even lift a suitcase. And yet your mother asked you to test my skills. I'm just testing you."
Hearing that his martial arts skills were doubted, Pang Qi immediately became unhappy. Just as he was about to retort, Pang Le's mother skillfully hit him and said disdainfully, "You two are really something. You miss each other when you are not together, but when you see each other, you quarrel endlessly, just like you have hundreds of chickens at home. We have guests coming today, so you two should shut up and talk less. If you really can't stay idle, eat more."
Guan Xia sat quietly in the corner of the sofa, staring straight ahead, not daring to lift her head. But in her heart, she was thinking, Pang Le really looks like her mother, even their tone of voice is similar. Look at those four words, "Talk less!" Wasn't that what Pang Le said not long ago when she disliked Pang Qi? So this is the status chain in her family.
Although there was only one guest, Guan Xia, at home, Pang Le's father prepared a large table of dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, meat and shrimp. He filled the table so full that only a small space was left for rice.
I don’t know if it’s because the elders are afraid of the younger ones being hungry, but the rice in the bowl in front of Guan Xia is not only compacted but also raised. Guan Xia is drooling at the sight of it, and she’s really afraid that she won’t be able to finish it.
Pang Le was always good at helping Guan Xia out. Without Guan Xia asking for help, he naturally scooped out half of the rice in Guan Xia's bowl. Under her mother's glare, he said confidently, "Mom, you've given her too much. Guan Xia is so slim, do you think she can eat so much? She's used to eating small meals frequently. If you really care about her, just prepare some snacks. She'll eat them when she's hungry."
Pang Le's mother's expression improved a little, but she still glared at Pang Le and said, "How can you let guests eat snacks when they are hungry? It just so happens that your father made a lot of wontons on a whim during his holiday a few days ago. So, if she is hungry, you can cook wontons for her. Just add some seaweed and dried shrimp and some seasoning and she will be eating it."
Pang Le agreed happily, and Guan Xia also breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the meal started, Guan Xia finally understood why Pang Le's father cooked such a big table. She originally thought it was to entertain guests, but after seeing how much Pang Le's mother and Pang Qi ate, she realized that their family usually ate like this, and at most they would cook one or two more dishes when guests came.
Pang Qi was very young and in his prime, he wolfed down his rice. A bowl of rice that Guan Xia could never finish was gone in the blink of an eye. As she was getting her second bowl, she remembered something and glanced at Pang Le and asked, "By the way, sister, did you offend anyone recently?"
Guan Xia paused in her eating, and Pang Le also stopped eating. He turned to look at Pang Qi and said, "Did someone hit you? But how do you know it was me who offended them and not you? I'm running a gym now, and in my free time I just go to the mountains to play. I don't have time to offend anyone. I suspect you offended someone and don't want to admit that you wronged me."
Pang Le complained to her mother, "Mom, look at him. I just got home and he wants to put the blame on me. I think he offended someone and is afraid of getting beaten, so he's putting the blame on me."
Pang Le's mother was obviously used to the two of them constantly causing trouble. She continued eating, but her expression became a little more serious. She asked, "What's going on, Pang Qi?"
Pang Qi had a look of grievance and regret on his face, even slowing down his eating. He said aggrievedly, "Just a while ago, at the end of September, Dad caught a big fish and called me home to eat. I was going to sleep at home after dinner, but in the middle of the night I remembered something happened at the martial arts gym. Around four in the morning, I packed up and planned to go back to the gym. As soon as I went downstairs, I ran into a woman who came at me without any reason. I was so scared that I kicked her against the wall. It was you, Mom, who called the police."
Pang Le's mother also remembered and said suddenly, "Oh, this matter, it was so long ago that I forgot about it. It really happened. At that time, we analyzed it. Pang Qi, your brother, let alone offending women, doesn't even have any female friends around him. The martial arts school is also full of bachelors. We thought about it and couldn't think of who he could have offended to make a woman want to kill him, so we guessed that it must be you who did it."
Pang Le's mother immediately sat up straight with a stern expression as if she was telling the truth.
By the time Pang Qi finished speaking at the end of September, Guan Xia and Pang Le had vaguely realized something. When Pang Qi finished speaking, the two of them even looked at each other. Pang Le looked at her mother and said vaguely, "It was indeed my fault, but I didn't offend anyone. I was brave enough to do what was right, and my accomplices were dissatisfied and wanted to take revenge on me. Just like the night Pang Qi kicked the man against the wall, someone came to kill us too. But who am I? I solved it in no time. Now everyone is in jail. Don't worry, Mom, this matter has been resolved. There will be no future."
Pang Le's mother breathed a sigh of relief, but still took a close look at her daughter to make sure she had no missing limbs or scars on her exposed parts. Then she said angrily, "Child, you've been like this since you were little. No matter what I say, you won't change. I don't know who you took after. It just so happens that you're back, so I don't have to ask your brother to come look for you. Tomorrow, you and your brother go to the martial arts gym and let me see if your skills are rusty. If you can't even beat your brother, then don't think about going back anytime soon. I won't beat your brother to a pulp. If you dare to go back, I'll break your legs."
Pang Le's mother spoke harshly, but Pang Le was not afraid at all. He even made a face at Guan Xia. Only Pang Qi had a bitter face and lowered his head to continue eating.
Guan Xiazhi was amazed by what she saw. She asked how Pang Le could be so bold. It turned out that her mother seemed to be trying to dissuade her, but in fact she was fanning the flames. She was afraid that her daughter would suffer outside, so she trained her martial arts desperately. Isn't that fanning the flames?
After a sumptuous and delicious meal, Guan Xia went to the martial arts gym with Pang Le, Pang Qi and her mother the next day.
Unexpectedly and expectedly, the martial arts hall was indeed quite large and had an antique atmosphere. However, what Guan Xia had not expected was that there were not many adult members in the hall. It was full of children, ranging from teenagers to little kids, divided into different age groups, each led by a young man or a middle-aged man, practicing basic skills with a giggle.
Noticing Guan Xia's strange expression, Pang Le laughed and said, "You didn't expect that, did you? Did you think my brother's martial arts gym was just like in a TV show, with a bunch of strong men fighting each other shirtless?"
Guan Xia didn't want to admit it, but nodded honestly.
Pang Le put his arm around Guan Xia's shoulders and said, "That was a long time ago, probably during the time of my grandpa's grandfather. At that time, most people couldn't even get enough to eat, so how could they have the free time and energy to practice martial arts? Unlike now, maybe it's because they've watched too many martial arts dramas, or maybe it's because they want their children to become successful, there will always be parents or children clamoring to learn martial arts. As far as I remember, my grandpa had at least 80 apprentices, if not 100. How could we support so many people who have practiced martial arts for many years to stay in the martial arts hall? So as soon as they graduated, they would each find a way out. Some went to my mom's security company to be a security guard or bodyguard, some even took the exam to become a physical education teacher, and some even went into the entertainment industry. But they didn't do very well, and basically just served as stunt doubles."
It was the first time that Guan Xia heard Pang Le say this, and she couldn't help but listen very carefully.
Pang Le became proud as he spoke, "If you want to talk about the most promising one, it has to be me, the world champion. Even though my grandfather despises me, I am still a famous signboard of the martial arts school. Anyway, those who come here to learn martial arts on their own initiative are all here for my signboard."
Guan Xia looked at Pang Le's high spirits and laughed sincerely. She thought Pang Le was very powerful when she first met her. She was wearing a fishtail skirt and high heels, but she turned around and casually threw the person who sexually harassed them to the ground. At that time, she thought, how could there be such a beautiful and heroic girl in the world? Not to mention Lu Tingfeng, if she had changed her gender, she might have fallen in love with Pang Le a long time ago.
After taking Guan Xia for a walk around the martial arts gym, Pang Le quickly found a room and changed into light clothes. Then he hooked his finger at Pang Qi provocatively and jumped onto the ring.
Guan Xia has known Pang Le for a long time and has met Pang Qi twice, but this is the first time she has seen the two of them fight.
She couldn't understand what was going on. She just felt that the fight between the two was dazzling. Many of the moves were almost challenging the limits of the human body. Guan Xia couldn't imagine how a person could be so flexible.
No one knew how long the fight lasted. Guan Xia only knew that although Pang Qi looked tall and strong, and had great strength, he was no match for Pang Le in terms of skills. Finally, amid cheers, Pang Le threw Pang Qi to the ground and held him down until Pang Qi admitted defeat, then he shook his hair and let him go.
Pang Le fell off the ring. Pang Le's mother walked over, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Not bad. Although you are outside, your skills are still good. But your strength seems to be a little weaker than before. Have you neglected exercise recently?"
Pang Le said without any embarrassment: "No, I have been exercising all the time. It's just that I just found a boyfriend recently, and it's still new, so I haven't been exercising that long."
Pang Le didn't blush, but Guan Xia blushed a little when she heard it. She thought Pang Le would be scolded, but Pang Le's mother was not angry at all. She patted Pang Le's head with relief and said, "You are still young. You should find a few more men before considering marriage. Otherwise, you will have too little experience. What if you get cheated by a man? I'm not afraid that you will have a bad life. I'm just worried that you will lose control and beat your husband to death. Then you will go to jail at an old age. I don't expect you to find someone like your father. If you can find one tenth of your father, I will be relieved."
Guan Xia was stunned. Pang Le said impatiently, "I'm not a fool. How could I be easily deceived? Don't worry. I'm still young and I won't think about getting married."
"That's fine," Pang Le's mother said with a smile, "Then I'm relieved. Then you can go play with your friends. I'm going home. It's a rare day off recently. I plan to go to the vegetable market, buy some vegetables, and then pick up your dad from get off work."
After saying that, Pang Le’s mother greeted Guan Xia with a smile, searched the car keys from Pang Qi, and walked away happily.
Guan Xia watched Pang Le's mother walk away with admiration in her heart. No wonder Pang Le was so free and easy. It turned out that it was all inherited and influenced by her mother.
After touring the martial arts gym and engaging in a fight, Pang Qi treated the wounds on his face and body, then approached the two men and said, "It's almost noon. Let's find a place to eat, and then I'll take you home."
As Pang Qi spoke, the wound on his face moved. He couldn't help but hissed, then looked at Pang Le with resentment, "Sister, we agreed not to hit people in the face, why do you always break your promise and leave wounds on my face? I think you are taking this opportunity to take revenge and want to beat me into a pig's head."
Pang Le glanced at Pang Qi and said, "Mom didn't say anything, so stop yelling. You've grown up so big and have such a good face for nothing. You're old, but you can't even find a girlfriend, and you're afraid of pain. What's the use of you to Mom? You can't even lift my suitcase."
Pang Qi looked aggrieved and wanted to retort, but he opened his mouth and then closed it again, resigned to his fate and led the way. "Let's go, it's late now, Sister Guan Xia must be hungry, let's go eat."
When Guan Xia was mentioned, Pang Le regained his smile, and walked out of the martial arts hall with Guan Xia in his arms excitedly.
The martial arts school is not too close to the city center, but it is not in a remote place either. There are shopping malls and hospitals nearby, as well as snack streets and many restaurants.
Pang Qi led them through the streets and alleys like a familiar figure, and soon they arrived at a private restaurant with a relatively hidden storefront.
As Pang Le led Guan Xia deeper into the alley, he said, "This private restaurant has been open for many years. The craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors has only been around a little longer than my grandfather's martial arts school. I heard that one of our ancestors was a talented imperial chef. Of course, these are all rumors, and no one knows whether they are true or not. But the food there is indeed delicious. You should try it. If it tastes good, you can come back for another meal before we leave."
Guan Xia listened attentively at first, her eyes full of anticipation, but as she listened, her attention was quickly drawn to a middle-aged man walking towards them not far ahead.
The middle-aged man was in his forties, his hair was already balding, and he had a big belly that couldn't be covered even by a thick coat. A woman of about the same age was walking beside him. The two of them were talking and laughing, and they didn't pay any attention to Guan Xia and the others.
Having investigated so many cases with Guan Xia, Pang Le quickly realized that something was wrong with Guan Xia. He only took one look at the middle-aged man and knew what was going on. He patted Pang Qi and said, "Did you bring the things I asked you to bring this morning?"
Although Ponzi was a little puzzled, he shrugged the backpack on his shoulders and said, "I brought it. What's the matter? Do you need it?"
Pang Le hummed calmly, then whispered mysteriously in Pang Qi's ear: "Don't say that I treat you badly. I'll take you to see a magical scene later."
Pang Qi had been fooled by Pang Le many times and didn't believe it at all, but in order to avoid getting beaten, he still put on an expectant expression.
After brushing past the middle-aged couple, Guan Xia didn't smile until they entered the restaurant's private room. She looked at Pang Le and said, "Okay, it's time to get together. I never thought I'd run into them on the second day."
"It's that guy's retribution that I met you in such a huge crowd." Pang Le also laughed as he took out a sketchbook from the bag that Pang Qi was carrying.
Pang Qi didn't understand what was going on. Guan Xia and Pang Le were laughing happily. While Pang Qi was ordering food, they quickly finished a sketch.
Ponzi finally understood what was going on. He looked at the sketch and said, "Is this the middle-aged man we met in the alley just now? What happened to him? What's so special about him?"
"He's not a good person," Pang Le said casually as he took out his phone, then took a picture and started sending messages. "Luckily, he's coming home with me this time. I have some acquaintances in the police station here. You just wait and see, maybe we can catch him in the time it takes to have a meal."
Pang Qi finally understood and exclaimed in surprise, "Was that a criminal?"
Pang Le hummed, tilting his head and said, "Otherwise, what do you think your sister has been busy with for the past six months? It's all thanks to your sister Guan Xia. She is now a hot commodity in the police system."
Speaking of the case, Guan Xia remembered one thing. She had seen three other blood-colored soul light balls in Lijia Village last time. She had not had time to deal with them after Wu Yang's case was over. Now that the new year is approaching, she should take some time to go and check what happened.
Pang Le and Pang Qi were talking and listening, and they praised Guan Xia so much that she was almost inhuman. Guan Xia interrupted several times and finally stopped Pang Le from bragging about her great achievements.
In just this short while, Guan Xia's face turned red, while Pang Le and Pang Qi were still not satisfied.
After another big meal, just as Pang Le expected, the result of the middle-aged man came out as soon as the meal was over.
Pang Le put down his chopsticks, his eyes bright and he said excitedly: "It was a B who escaped. I said Guan Xia would take action, and I was absolutely right. See, I was right, wasn't I?"
Pang Qi nodded, perhaps because he had suffered a mental shock, and actually looked at Guan Xia with admiration.
Guan Xia couldn't stand this look, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Pang Le, I suddenly remembered that something was amiss when I saw it in Lijia Village. I plan to ask Xu Nian to go back to Lijia Village with me in a few days. Do you want to go back?"
Pang Le had been waiting for this day for a long time. Upon hearing this, he immediately sat up straight and nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes. I've been resting for more than two months and I've been bored for a long time. I've been waiting for you to say this."
Pang Le was still calculating as he spoke, "Sister Ji can't go, but we can ask Zhong Xiaoyu and Lu Tingfeng to come along. If we calculate it this way, isn't it almost the same as before?
