head.
The night was bitterly cold and the fields were silent. Xu Xu felt a chill all over her body. The baby in her belly seemed to sense her silent fear and was kicking her gently. Xu Xu forced himself to breathe steadily, not looking at Yao Meng, but staring at Lin Qingyan: "Wait. Lin Qingyan, even if I die, let me die knowingly and willingly."
The gun in Yao Meng's hand immediately dropped, and his breathing became more and more rapid. Lin Qingyan looked at Xu Xu with a smile in his eyes: "What do you want to know?"
Xu Xu's heartbeat became faster and faster, but his tone was calm: "The first two cases were committed by you; the third was committed by Tan Liang. But I can't figure out when you two got in touch?"
Lin Qingyan smiled slightly: "It is not a good thing to ask questions knowing the answer and delay time. But it doesn't matter, I will still answer you - the second body was found by Tan Liang, and we all know what he did to the body. But he didn't know me at that time. Later, when the third case came out, I knew it was him. It would be unreasonable not to find him to take the blame."
Xu Xu’s heart trembled—after the third case occurred, Lin Qingyan was released. During that period, the entire case was taken over by the provincial department. The people that Ji Bai had originally arranged to follow Lin Qingyan were all transferred back, and all of them were required to search in the mountainous area. It turned out that Lin Qingyan took advantage of this time to find Tan Liang.
"The price you pay for persuading him is to use public opinion to bring down his former leader afterwards?" Xu Xu continued to ask, "Are there any other conditions?" At that time, there was news online that Tan Liang's former leader was placed under double supervision, and Xu Xu guessed it.
Lin Qingyan nodded: "You are very perceptive. I also gave a sum of money to his old mother anonymously. He is a filial son, but his method is too crude. He also knew that he would die, so he took the blame for me, which can be considered a worthy death."
As the two of them were asking and answering each other, Yao Meng stood motionless with her back to Lin Qingyan, tears continuously falling down her pale face.
At this time, Xu Xu changed the subject: "The Hong Kong case was also committed by you, right? Is Feng Ye another scapegoat?"
Yao Meng's body stiffened. Lin Qingyan looked at her, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he answered, "Yes."
Xu Xu wanted to ask more, but Lin Qingyan reached out and hooked his hand around Yao Meng's shoulder, saying, "Stop it, you scared her."
Xu Xu's heart sank.
He said this for this purpose.
The deadlock came again. Lin Qingyan raised his gun and pointed it at Yao Meng. Yao Meng, like a zombie, slowly raised his gun towards Xu Xu.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Xu Xu's mind like lightning. She tried hard to suppress the surging fear and panic, clenched her hands into fists, and met Yao Meng's desperate eyes head-on.
"Shoot, Yao Meng." She said softly, "He is right, this is your only choice. I won't blame you."
Yao Meng's pretty face was so tense that it was almost stiff, and her voice was choked: "You don't blame me?"
Xu Xu took a deep breath and said, "I don't blame you. Shoot."
It was late at night and the cold wind blew through the snow, making a rustling sound. Xu Xu shivered in the cold wind. Yao Meng's tears had dried up and she looked disheveled like a mad woman. Lin Qingyan held the gun in one hand and coughed repeatedly in the cold wind.
Xu Xu and Yao Meng looked at each other in silence.
Xu Xu looked at Yao Meng's painful eyes. Lin Qingyan behind her was coughing with his head down and didn't look over.
Xu Xu shook his head at her inaudibly.
No, Yao Meng, you can't act rashly. You have to shoot.
It's okay, just shoot.
Yao Meng's eyes flashed with determination. She turned around and shot at Lin Qingyan: "You pervert!"
There were a few empty clicks of the trigger, and there was no bullet in the gun.
Xu Xu's heart sank, Yao Meng's whole body stiffened, and Lin Qingyan slowly raised his head and looked at Yao Meng with a gloomy face.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Yao Meng's hands were tied, he raised the butt of the gun and hit Lin Qingyan on the head! But she had been drugged and her movements were weak and powerless. Lin Qingyan laughed, a very sad laugh, grabbed her wrist, twisted it backhand, and took away her gun. Xu Xu was a few steps away from them and was tied up, so there was no time to rescue him.
Lin Qingyan panted and pulled Yao Meng into his arms, pointing a gun at her head: "Is this your love? This is what you gave me - you pervert? It turns out that you have been coaxing me these days, hehe... Do you really think I can't bear to kill you? Can't bear to?!"
Yao Meng burst into tears and fell limp in his arms, her voice hysterical: "Love? I must have been blind to fall in love with you! Kill me, kill me! Why don't you just die? You are worse than an animal!"
Xu Xu felt a sharp pain in his heart just by looking at them. He stared at the two of them with tears streaming down his face.
She expected that since Lin Qingyan brought her to this place, he would not shoot her. After listening to his previous conversation with Yao Meng, she had guessed that this was a test of Yao Meng in his heart - a test to see if Yao Meng really accepted him as a criminal, and at the same time to force Yao Meng to stand on his side.
That's why she let Yao Meng shoot.
Yao Meng was already in a trance and extremely weak. Xu Xu did not expect that she would go all out at this moment, and was provoked into taking action. But this would undoubtedly push her towards death - Yao Meng would not be able to survive!
At this time, Lin Qingyan's expression gradually returned to calm, but there was no smile in his eyes anymore, instead they were cold. He put the gun aside, put his arms around Yao Meng's waist again as if no one was around, and bent down to kiss her. Yao Meng turned her head to avoid him, but he held her head and she couldn't move.
"Okay, in that case, we have no other choice." Lin Qingyan's voice was extremely gentle, but tears were hidden in his eyes. "I'll kill her first, and then take you away." After saying that, he let go of Yao Meng, stood up, took out a small black bottle from the bag on the ground next to him, and walked towards Xu Xu.
"Don't kill her!" Yao Meng shouted, and a smile appeared on Lin Qingyan's face.
Xu Xu watched him getting closer and closer, but his heart kept sinking, sinking to the bottom of a dead silence and despair.
——
Ji Bai drove the car at lightning speed, and they were the only ones running wildly in the night.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to their destination, Da Hu couldn't help but ask, "Are they really going to be here?"
Ji Bai remained silent with an expressionless face.
We were almost at the foot of the mountain. The forest was dense and the shadows of the trees were deep. There seemed to be a faint light on the mountain, but it also seemed as if there was nothing at all.
Ji Bai braked the car steadily and jumped out with Da Hu holding guns.
"Here." He seemed to be talking to Da Hu, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
It must be here, the place where the body of the third case was found.
☆、Chapter 66v
The temperature on the mountainside was getting lower and lower, the sky was gloomy and heavy, and snowflakes began to fall.
Lin Qingyan squatted down in front of Xu Xu, his thin and pale face showing a gentle smile. He reached out and brushed off the snow on Xu Xu's head, then gently pinched her chin.
"Open your mouth, little girl."
Xu Xu clenched his teeth, his stubborn eyes filled with tears. Whenever I think of Ji Bai and the child, my heart aches, the pain is endless.
Her silent and futile resistance made Lin Qingyan smile. Just as he was about to raise the medicine bottle and force her to drink it, he heard Yao Meng laughing behind him: "Ha... didn't you say you wanted and liked children? A pervert is a pervert. He even kills pregnant women. I'm so glad that I didn't get pregnant. If I did, the child would have been poisoned to death by you..." At the end, her tone became sad.
Lin Qingyan put down the medicine bottle, turned to look at her, and said in a very quiet and cold voice: "How can it be the same? If we had a child, how could it turn out like this?"
Yao Meng felt a sharp pain in her heart. She took a deep breath, stared at him and said, "Then let her go. I beg you to let her go! We don't have any children, so just consider it as letting go of my and your child."
Lin Qingyan lowered his head and remained motionless, looking extremely depressed and sad.
Yao Meng and Xu Xu both looked at him, their hearts ached, tears streaming down their cheeks, not daring to breathe.
After a while, Lin Qingyan looked up, there were tears in his eyes, but his expression was calm.
"Since you like this child...if you kill her, the child can go with us."
——
Ji Bai and Da Hu climbed up the mountain at high speed.
The thorny jungle was trampled on recklessly, and people ran wildly in the vast snow. However, the surroundings were silent and the snow was falling heavily, covering all traces. For a moment, the two were unable to confirm whether there was any hope ahead.
After climbing onto a bare rock with all his strength, Da Hu's cell phone rang. He quickly picked it up and reported to Ji Bai: "Boss, reinforcements are approaching here, and helicopters have taken off from the city!"
Ji Bai nodded.
Da Hu took a breath and couldn't help asking, "Boss, why is it the third corpse dumping site?"
Ji Bai raised his head, and saw heavy snow falling in front of him, and the mountains and rock walls stood like hideous ghosts.
"Perfect." He answered softly.
Xu Xu said that Lin Qingyan had invested a lot of emotion in the first two victims. The third case was committed by Tan Liang, who was rough and impatient, and the victim was also ordinary. How could Lin Qingyan tolerate the three cases being compared?
Psychopaths have their own paranoia, and when others are about to die, they will definitely repair this shortcoming.
——
The night sky is gloomy and the snow falls silently. Xu Xu's entire body was covered in snowflakes, and she sat there like a white sculpture, watching Lin Qingyan approach again.
Behind him, Yao Meng burst into tears: "Xu Xu... I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."
Lin Qingyan's expression was gentle and calm as he handed the poison to Xu Xu.
Xu Xu showed an equally pale and gentle smile: "Wait a minute, Lin Qingyan. If I drink potassium cyanide, I will die without any pain, but the child will be in great pain. Do you know what symptoms the fetus will have if the mother is poisoned? You can ask Yao Meng. We learned it in the police academy and have encountered similar cases. It's all very clear. Are you sure that's what you want?"
Lin Qingyan glanced at her, then turned his head quietly and looked at Yao Meng: "You say."
In fact, the police academy had never taught about such a special situation, and the two had never encountered such a case. Although Yao Meng did not understand Xu Xu's intention, his expression did not change. He only showed a sarcastic smile: "Do you care? Do you care about the child's pain? Then let me tell you, unlike adults, the toxin will slowly seep into the amniotic fluid, and he will feel a tightening in the throat and difficulty breathing. He will twitch, spasm, vomit, suffer circulatory failure, organ failure, and finally suffocate to death..."
Lin Qingyan looked at Yao Meng without saying anything. After a few seconds, he turned to look at Xu Xu, with a smile in his eyes: "What's your idea of letting Yao Meng tell me this? To delay time? Xu Xu, you're making it difficult for me. This is not good.
You should know that even if I don't kill you now, I can't let you go. This forest is very large. We are deep in the mountains, it is freezing cold. By the time the police find you, you will have frozen to death or starved to death and become a corpse. And this process will be long and painful.
But what now? It seems we have no other choice. Why did you choose such a way to die for yourself? ”
Xu Xu shook her head absentmindedly: "No, this is what I want. I know I will die, and there is no point in delaying. But potassium cyanide will make me feel relaxed and the child suffer. As a mother, I am willing to choose a way of death that will make me suffer and the child feel relaxed. In this way, the child will only fall into a deep sleep due to my exhaustion, and then never wake up again. He will not feel any pain, which is enough for me. Isn't this what you hope for too?"
Lin Qingyan was silent for a moment, put down the medicine bottle, and replied softly: "Okay. I'll send Yao Meng away first, and then come over to accompany the child. The three of us will be together forever."
——
When Ji Bai and Da Hu walked quietly into the woods, they saw from afar a snow-white blanket spread on the open space in front of them. Ji Bai's heart was gripped, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
The two men approached with guns in hand, only to see that the edge of the blanket was slightly wrinkled and there were a lot of footprints on the snow next to it. Despite the dim light, Ji Bai could still identify the smallest footprint at a glance, which was left by Xu Xu.
The snow was completely silent. Ji Bai and Da Hu exchanged glances, followed the footprints, and rushed into the forest from both sides. After running a few steps, they both stopped abruptly at the same time - because from behind the big tree in front of them came very low and slight breathing sounds, as well as the sound of heels rubbing against the snow.
While Da Hu was still on guard and hesitant, Ji Bai's face changed instantly. He took a step forward and rushed behind the tree!
The scene before him made him feel as if a huge rock had dropped heavily on his heart, shocking, painful, and happy at the same time - Xu Xu was tied tightly to the thick and rugged tree trunk, with his mouth sealed with tape. When she saw him, her clear black eyes suddenly lit up like stars and her eyes were filled with tears.
Ji Bai tore off the tape, and Da Hu had already taken out a dagger and cut the rope cleanly. Xu Xu's body softened and he fell into Ji Bai's arms: "Third brother..."
As soon as the person entered his arms, Ji Bai felt an indescribable pain in his heart - she was only wearing a thin maternity dress and her body was as cold as ice. Ji Bai immediately opened his down jacket and wrapped her in his arms: "It's okay...it's okay...my wife is okay..."
Da Hu's eyes became moist as he watched: "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay."
Xu Xu was indeed completely stiff and powerless, but she looked pale as she grabbed Ji Bai by the collar and said, "Go save Yao Meng! Go now!"
Ji Bai and Da Hu were both shocked and looked in the direction she pointed.
Da Hu: "Boss, take care of Xu Xu. I'll go!"
Ji Bai was silent for a moment, and his arms around Xu Xu suddenly tightened. His warm cheek, still dripping with sweat, gently touched her snow-cold little face, and he immediately put her down.
“I’ll go.” He took off his down jacket and put it on Xu Xu, “You protect her.” He took a deep look at Xu Xu and rushed into the forest without looking back.
The snow gradually stopped and the footprints on the ground became clearly visible. Ji Bai followed the deep and shallow footprints and walked through the forest for more than ten minutes. Da Hu and Xu Xu were left far behind and could no longer be seen.
Finally, after reaching a low mound, we could vaguely see a few people sitting on the ground in the forest ahead, and we could hear faint voices.
Ji Bai immediately hid behind a hill and looked out silently.
He saw a tall and thin man sitting opposite him, leaning against a tree, with blood gushing from his head, soaking most of his face. He was strangling a woman in his arms, with the gun pressed against her temple - who could it be but Lin Qingyan and Yao Meng?
Opposite them, behind a thick tree trunk, there was a person sitting. There was a pool of blood on the snow beneath the man. He was wearing the clothes of a forestry worker. He was tall and straight, with his back to Ji Bai, so it was impossible to see who he was.
Ji Bai had a full view of the three people's situation, and silently raised his gun and aimed at Lin Qingyan. However, Yao Meng was pressed tightly against him, almost blocking all his vital points, so he was unable to start.
At this moment, Lin Qingyan spoke very weakly: "Feng Ye, you really are haunting me."
Ji Bai was slightly startled and took another look at the man. He could vaguely see a bloody hole on his right shoulder. He must have been shot. He panted slightly and answered, "It's my destiny to not die, otherwise how could I have ever exposed your crimes as a beast in human clothing? Now I am willing to die."
Yao Meng's hair was disheveled and her face was covered in blood, and no one knew whose blood it was. Her voice was already very hoarse: "Why? Lin Qingyan, why is all this happening?"
——
Half an hour ago.
Xu Xu's words successfully convinced Lin Qingyan. Being so conceited, he didn't believe that the police would find this place so quickly.
After he tied Xu Xu to the tree, he dragged Yao Meng along and staggered forward in the snow. He hadn't decided where to go, he just wanted to find the most beautiful place. It’s a pity that there is no moonlight tonight, which will eventually leave me with regrets.
Yao Meng was like a walking corpse, following him in a daze. He liked this look very much, so he simply took her bound hands and walked quietly in the snow.
Feng Ye suddenly rushed out from the bushes, holding a wooden stick, and hit him hard on the back of the head. Lin Qingyan only felt a sharp pain, dizziness, and heat, and then fell in the snow.
Yao Meng stared blankly at the drastic changes in front of him. He saw Feng Ye, with a beard, standing in front of him, staring at him with dark eyes.
His appearance that night was like a dream, planting the seeds of doubt in Yao Meng's heart. Not telling the police about his existence was a completely subconscious reaction.
But when she realized that the suspicion was directed at Lin Qingyan, it was too late. Lin Qingyan seemed to be able to keenly sense her slightest emotional changes and quickly took control of her personal freedom.
She didn't expect Feng Ye to suddenly appear today and save her from her desperate situation.
Feng Ye's eyes were a little anxious, and his voice was low and powerful: "Don't be afraid, I will save you..." After that, he took out a dagger and cut the rope on her wrist. The cold blade touched Yao Meng's wrist. Her brain, which was confused by the drugs she had taken, suddenly shuddered. She remembered that Lin Qingyan was still behind her: "He has a gun! Let's kill him first..."
"Bang." It was too late.
Yao Meng only saw Feng Ye's expression freeze for a moment, and he looked down at his shoulder. There was a bloody hole there. The next moment, Yao Meng felt her waist tighten and she was pulled into Lin Qingyan's arms. They both sat down on the ground at the same time. Feng Ye struggled to climb behind a tree and took shelter temporarily.
Feng Ye hit Lin Qingyan on the back of the head with a stick, causing him to fall to the ground with his eyes black. He regained consciousness with his face touching the cold snow. In addition, he was still worried about something, and his strong will drove him to endure the chaos and pain, and he got up and shot Feng Ye.
When Ji Bai arrived, he saw the three people in a stalemate.
——
Perhaps it was because all three of them were determined to die. When Yao Meng asked the most painful and confusing question in his heart, the two men were silent and looked at each other quietly. One looked sarcastic, the other one was filled with deep hatred.
Lin Qingyan looked at her sideways and said softly, "Wife, it doesn't matter. Our affairs have nothing to do with him."
Feng Ye panted and said coldly, "Really? Isn't it because you took away everything that originally belonged to me, and now you want to take away the woman I love?
Yao Meng shuddered all over, and Lin Qingyan's face turned suddenly cold. The blood on his head was still flowing and had already covered his entire face. But those eyes suddenly became distracted and indifferent. When Ji Bai heard that the two were about to reveal the inside story of the Hong Kong Angel Case, he focused his attention on Lin Qingyan and listened carefully. If he makes any unusual movement, shoot him immediately.
Lin Qingyan smiled softly: "Yours? Why should it be yours? It's obviously mine."
Feng Ye looked at his bloody and hideous face, thinking of the past, and was a little dazed for a moment.
He was once an outstanding young man and a child of destiny, but he was very different from his deaf and mute parents since he was a child. When he turned eighteen, his parents told him that he was an abandoned baby and they were his adoptive parents. His parents might be from Hong Kong, because there was a Hong Kong hospital logo on the blanket he was wrapped in.
After graduation, Yao Meng proposed to break up, which finally made him make up his mind to go far away. He went to Hong Kong alone to work and look for his love.
At that time, Lin Qingyan was a senior executive of the cooperative company and also his personal friend. His life was peaceful, but he still had no clue about finding his relatives.
Until one day, Mr. Qin's assistant came to him with a DNA test report and said, "You are Mr. Qin's biological son."
Mr. Qin is the semi-retired chairman of the group behind Lin Qingyan. To Feng Ye’s company, Mr. Qin’s group is like a business giant. Feng Ye had heard the story of this legendary female billionaire in the business world a long time ago, but he never expected that she would turn out to be his biological mother.
The assistant revealed that it was the work materials that the subordinates sent to Mr. Qin’s email that contained Feng Ye’s profile and photo. Mr. Qin, who was over fifty years old and terminally ill, recognized the young boy at a glance because he looked exactly like his biological father. There was a secret DNA test, and an assistant was also commissioned to come forward and plead the case on the person's behalf.
Everything that happened afterwards was like a fog suddenly falling on Feng Ye, and everything turned upside down overnight. All kinds of evidence of the Angel Case, which was spreading like wildfire at the time, miraculously appeared in his apartment. Even Lin Qingyan's fiancée became a victim. The evidence was overwhelming and there was no way to defend himself...
After three years of fleeing, I heard about my mother's death and that Lin Qingyan's only beneficiary of his will had received all of my mother's property...
…
Yao Meng looked up at Lin Qingyan in a daze: "Is what he said true?"
Lin Qingyan suddenly smiled: "Yes, it's true."
Yao Meng's voice was almost dry: "You still haven't told me why you came to me. Do you hate Feng Ye so much? You destroyed him, and you want to destroy me too?"
Lin Qingyan was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "It has nothing to do with him. You are so unique, I love you, I really love you."
Yao Meng's heart was numb with pain and she stared at him motionlessly. Feng Ye said coldly: "Really? What is your relationship with my biological mother? You haven't told her, right?"
Lin Qingyan and Yao Meng's faces changed. Feng Ye's face turned pale, as if telling this fact made him feel difficult and humiliated: "Later, I found out that he was her adopted son in name only, and also her..."
"Shut up!" Lin Qingyan growled, his eyes full of cruelty. He suddenly let go of Yao Meng and raised his gun to shoot at Feng Ye! Yao Meng fell back reflexively, Lin Qingyan's hand shook, and the shot went into the sky. The situation was critical, Ji Bai no longer hesitated and shot Lin Qingyan accurately between the eyebrows!
The surroundings were silent, and light snow began to fall in the gloomy sky again. Ji Bai rushed out from behind the rock, pointed his gun at Lin Qingyan's body on the ground, and held Yao Meng in his arms. Yao Meng covered her face with her hands, stiff as a puppet, sobbing silently. Feng Ye let out a long breath, and finally ran out of strength. He fell on his back on the snow, looking at the distant night sky in silence.
——
The strong airflow from the helicopter made the trees rustle. Several searchlights shone from all directions, illuminating the mountains as bright as day. The criminal police ran back and forth, checking and collecting every piece of evidence and moving Lin Qingyan's body out of the snow.
Feng Ye was still a wanted criminal and was sent to an ambulance in handcuffs. Before closing the door, Ji Bai walked over and said to him, "I will truthfully report everything I heard today to my superiors and the Hong Kong police."
Feng Ye nodded, a bitter smile appeared on his lips, and he stretched out his hand to Ji Bai, who shook hands with him tightly.
Although Xu Xu and Yao Meng were weak, they only had superficial injuries and were placed side by side on stretchers and sent to the same ambulance. Ji Bai and Da Hu stayed by their side. Ji Bai held Xu Xu's hand without saying anything, and Xu Xu took his hand and placed it on her belly.
"It'll be fine." Ji Bai said in a deep voice.
Xu Xu nodded: "It will be fine."
Yao Meng stared at the ceiling. Xu Xu turned around and gently held her hand: "Thank you, Yao Meng. You saved my life and the child's life."
Da Hu also said beside him: "It's okay, Yao Meng, it's all over." Ji Bai also looked at her gently.
Yao Meng was silent for a moment, tears streaming down her face. After crying for a long time, she held Xu Xu's hand tightly and nodded gently to Ji Bai and Da Hu.
☆、Chapter 67v
Half a year later.
In Lin City in May, there is already a hint of heat in the warmth. However, it just rained a little this morning, and the air was so fresh and sweet in the thin sunshine that it made people feel comfortable all over.
Ji Baichaoshou stood at the airport exit. He wore a pure black suit today, which was rare for him. Standing in the crowd, he was tall and handsome like a male model. But his expression and temperament were quite calm and tough, which only attracted the sidelong glances of passers-by.
Ji Bai didn't have to wait long before he saw Shu Hang, Monkey and others, each carrying a small suitcase, walking out leisurely. When they saw each other, there was joy in everyone's eyes.
Shu Hang was the first to speak: "Hey Yue, it's different when you become a father. Look at how proud you are. You are showing off your winning style in every aspect!"
Everyone laughed, and the monkey said, "Of course, buy a big and get a small free, Ji San is good at everything he does."
Ji Bai smiled calmly: "There is nothing we can do. If a person's luck comes, it cannot be stopped."
Everyone burst into laughter and scolded - it was really too arrogant!
——
There were three cars in total, which took the childhood friends back to the city from the airport. Ji Bai drove one himself, Shu Hang sat in the passenger seat, and Monkey and another sat in the back. They had all been to Lin City, but it was the cool summer now, and the city was particularly lush, green, and refreshing. The monkey said: "This is much better than the dry, hot and irritating weather in Beijing."
Before Ji Bai could answer, Shu Hang interrupted: "What is this place? This is Ji San's blessed land!"
Another childhood friend laughed and said, "But seriously, when Ji Sange returned to Beijing two years ago, he said he didn't have a girlfriend. It's been less than two years now, and they've got their marriage certificate, and their child is already a month old. Are all criminal police like this? They're quick, accurate, and ruthless."
Ji Bai was in a good mood and answered, "Is it fast? I think two years is too slow to meet the right person."
This remark sounded a bit sour and romantic, and also seemed to be showing off. The remaining three people exchanged glances and said "tsk tsk tsk" together to express their envy, jealousy, hatred, contempt... and other complicated emotions. After sighing, they felt a little sad in their hearts. They haven't started a family yet, and they are a little envious of Ji Bai.
The right person. Not everyone can meet the right person in their lifetime. No matter you are a gifted one or an ordinary person. You really need a little more luck to be lucky enough to find your perfect match.
——
The full moon banquet was scheduled at a hotel in the city. There was still some time before the banquet ended, so Ji Bai led Shu Hang and the others to the room upstairs and returned home to pick up his wife and children.
Shu Hang and his friends couldn't sit still. What was there to sit for in a hotel room? After taking a shower and changing clothes, the group of people went downstairs neatly and wandered around.
The hotel is large and new, with green plants all over the garden and dappled sunlight. It is quiet and beautiful, making one feel relaxed and at ease. Shu Hang called a waiter and opened a lounge, where they drank tea, chatted and played cards. The lounge is covered with red velvet carpet and has several fabric sofas. A whole wall of floor-to-ceiling glass faces the garden, offering a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery.
Shu Hang was lucky today. He won three games in a row as soon as he sat down. He looked around with a happy attitude of a winner, but found that the monkey who lost the most was looking out the window with an absent-minded look on his face. He also followed the monkey's gaze and was stunned.
Not only was he stunned, but a man next to him raised his hand and nudged another man's arm. Everyone looked over there, and for a moment no one was bothered to play a card.
The sky outside the window is clear and blue. The sunlight shines across the grass and the lake, casting soft and bright lights. A very young woman was walking out from behind the green trees and slowly walking towards the lake. She was wearing a lotus-colored long skirt and matching high-heeled sandals, and her long black hair fell like silk. Shu Hang had never seen such beautiful hair. It was not deliberately straightened, nor permed or dyed. It was jet black, soft, and shiny, lightly sticking to the woman's white jade shoulders. And when the woman turned her face slightly, her long eyebrows like ink and her eyes full of sparkle made everyone's heart tremble.
The hotel glass was one-way translucent, so everyone could see the woman clearly, but the woman was unaware of their presence. I saw her walking slowly to the edge of the pool, looking at the quiet water surface with a frown on her face. She was originally extremely beautiful and elegant, but with this frown, she revealed a somewhat distant and indifferent temperament. Just like the originally glowing mutton-fat jade, it dims for a moment, but becomes even more charming.
She sat down on a bench by the lake, lost in thought. On this side, after a brief silence among the men, the atmosphere became noticeably more heated. Monkey stared at her intently: "It's definitely not from Ji San's side. How could he have any female friends that we don't know about? Oh my god, sister-in-law Arale actually has such powerful relatives and friends!"
——
As soon as Ji Bai entered the lounge, he saw these old guys, staring at Yao Meng outside the window and having a heated discussion.
As soon as they saw Ji Bai, someone immediately asked, "Ji San, who is she? Your sister-in-law?"
In fact, it’s not that they are surprised by what they have seen. Everyone present has a sharp eye and has seen all kinds of beauties. But precisely because of this, Yao Meng's beauty is unique in their eyes: there is heroism in her brightness, and a hint of decadence in her gentleness, making her even more mysterious. What men fear is the mystery of women. The less they understand, the more they become itchy. In addition to this situation, Yao Meng's appearance was a sudden surprise, and everyone was a little bit excited.
Ji Bai glanced at Yao Meng. It had only been half a year since the Lin Qingyan case, and she had been living a reclusive and low-key life. So he answered: "She is Xu Xu's friend, you should not provoke her."
Everyone laughed and someone said, "It's too late! The monkey has already gone!"
Ji Bai frowned and looked around, but sure enough, he didn't see the monkey. He is a man who has been through many beautiful women and is ruthless in destroying them. We must not let him harass Yao Meng. However, the guests had already entered the venue one after another, and Ji Bai still had to greet them, so he waved his hand and said, "No kidding - go and stop him for me!"
No matter what he said seriously, it was still very effective among this group of childhood friends. Several people stood up immediately. Shu Hang, who had been drinking tea in silence, also stood up and said, "I'll go."
Shu Hang was reliable, so Ji Bai felt relieved. He nodded and walked out with him. When they reached the fork in the corridor, they were heading in different directions. Shu Hang took two steps and turned back to ask, "By the way, what's the girl's name?"
Ji Bai was greeting several colleagues in the police station. He glanced at him and replied, "Yao Meng."
——
Shu Hang was familiar with Monkey's nature, and soon found him on the tree-lined avenue a few meters away from Yao Meng, where he had just received two glasses of wine from the waiter.
"Ji San is looking for you. It's urgent. Go quickly." Shu Hang said seriously.
The monkey was skeptical, so he returned the wine to the waiter and followed him back. When they reached the door of the lounge, Shu Hang paused, and Monkey walked in first.
"Catch it! Don't let it out before the dinner starts!" Shu Hang gave an order, and several men inside pushed the monkey back to the card table with a smile. Shu Hang turned and left. Someone asked, "Where are you going, Brother Shu?"
Shu Hang replied: "Ji San asked me to help."
He walked briskly back to the pool, ordered two drinks from the waiter, and walked towards Yao Meng. Everyone in the lounge was stunned. After a while, Yao Meng smiled at Shu Hang politely but distantly, then turned and left. Shu Hang took long steps and followed slowly, with a sly smile on his face: "Hey, don't go..."

The full moon banquet went smoothly that day. Everyone was in high spirits, whether it was his colleagues in the police station, Ji Bai's childhood friend, or Xu Xu's serious and arrogant junior and senior students in the police academy. Although the chubby and tender little baby only appeared briefly, he smiled unconsciously at everyone and caused everyone to cheer.
Ji Bai's father, eldest brother and second brother were all there and were arranged to sit in a separate private room. Although Ji's mother did not come, she asked Ji's father to bring a big red envelope and also gave Xu Xu a set of jewelry.
Xu Xu has now also been assimilated by Ji Bai and understands that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should not be rushed. Ji Bai accompanied her and called her mother-in-law. Their conversation was still polite and peaceful. As for the rest, they could only wait and see.
Time flies, and the baby is already two months old.
Xu Jun has also recovered from his injuries and been discharged from the hospital. Although he has lost some weight, he is in high spirits. There was only a dark red scar on the back of his head. Every time Xu Xu parted his hair and saw it, he would be silent and heartbroken, and would touch it again and again. Xu Juan would smile and comfort her: "Those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future. I, your brother, will be blessed in the future."
It was Saturday, and Ji Bai still went to work overtime. Xu Xu is still on maternity leave, and she and Xu Jun are at home taking care of the child.
It's said that there are two people taking care of it, but actually as long as Xu Jun has time to come here on weekends, he will take care of everything. Seeing that he liked his nephew so much, Xu Xu naturally let them get closer.
When Ji Bai got home from get off work, he saw Xu Xu with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding a diaper, standing aside with a smile. Xu Jun was bending over with his handsome profile looking extremely focused as he was changing the child's diaper.
Ji Bai greeted Xu Jun, then took Xu Xu's hand and led him into the room. After giving birth, Xu Xu gained a little weight, but her skin became whiter. In Ji Bai's eyes, she was even more well-proportioned and lovely than before. Whenever he saw her smiling face, Ji Bai had the urge to... kiss her.
After locking her behind the door and kissing her, Xu Xu blushed: "Brother is still busy outside!"
Ji Bai buried his head in her shoulder: "Let him be busy."
——
Although Xu Jun loves his nephew very much, he also has the consciousness that he doesn't want to be a third wheel. Seeing Ji Bai coming back, he quickly said goodbye. The baby was also coaxed to sleep by him. He is truly a good brother and uncle.
The night was cool and quiet. After Ji Bai finished his work in the study, he returned to the bedroom and saw Xu Xu sitting upright at the table, holding a pile of files and reading them with relish.
He brought the file back from the police station at Xu Xu's request. Since the Lin Qingyan case, Xu Xu has not been involved in any cases for more than half a year. In her own words, "I'm almost exhausted."
She was watching so intently that she didn't even hear Ji Bai come in. Ji Bai looked at her and started to take off his clothes.
Soon she was stripped down to her shorts.
