Chapter 853: Tang Yi is the one who suffers in the end
After boarding the helicopter, Xiao Shiqiu fastened my seat belt for me, and the helicopter took off into the air with the roar of the propeller.
After a while, I saw us flying towards a huge lake, with volcanoes in the distance and pine forests and rows of holiday homes on the shore.
The lake looked exceptionally blue from above. I leaned over the window to look down and couldn't help but exclaim, "This lake is so blue! It's so beautiful."
Xiao Shiqiu also came over to take a look and said in agreement, "Yeah, it's quite blue, just like toilet cleaner."
I turned and glared at him. He blinked at me innocently and said, "Isn't that a bad description? The water we flush in our toilet is also this blue."
I remembered that Huang Tianyi used the same metaphor to describe Blue Coke, and said with some annoyance, "Yes, your romantic genes are exactly the same as Tianyi's."
Xiao Shiqiu nodded seriously, "It's possible. She and I both have Caucasian genes."
The helicopter landed on a lawn by the lake. He carried me down the helicopter and took me along the gravel path to a restaurant with a black lintel and the word "Bistro" written above the door.
I looked at Xiao Shiqiu with some surprise: "Is this the restaurant they posted in the group?"
"Yeah, you've been craving it all afternoon. I promised to bring you here to make up for it, so I have to keep my word."
Although I have always been spoiled by him because of my ability, every time I see him take his promise to me seriously, my heart still jumps with joy.
The waiter came over and Xiao Shiqiu gave a number. The other party immediately and respectfully led us to a table next to the floor-to-ceiling window with a lake view outside.
Although it was evening, the lake and the volcano in the distance were coated with a layer of golden light under the setting sun, which complemented the crispy roast pork belly beautifully!
Xiao Shiqiu had already ordered several dishes that I had mentioned during the day, and they were served quickly after we sat down.
"Besides these, what else do you want to eat? Order some more."
Xiao Shiqiu took the menu from the waiter and handed it to me, while he helped me cut the roast pork.
"You just got out of the hospital, so you can't eat anything too greasy." He cut off the fat layer under the skin cleanly, leaving only a layer of crispy pork skin on my plate.
I picked up a piece of pork skin with a fork and dipped it in the sweet and sour apple sauce. The crispy crunch exploded between my teeth. It was delicious!
Outside the window, the setting sun was sinking behind the volcano, and ripples were appearing on the deep blue lake.
Xiao Shiqiu suddenly reached out and wiped the sauce off the corner of my mouth: "Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you." His thumb paused at his lips for half a second, then he retracted it and licked the sauce off as if nothing had happened.
When the lights in the holiday homes on the other side of the lake came on one after another, I had eaten and drunk my fill. The two bodyguards brought by Xiao Shiqiu arranged a car to take us to the hotel where the main group was staying.
If no one was thinking about my parts, I think life would be carefree and comfortable.
Since Xiao Shiqiu came, I naturally lived in the same room with him.
I went to Huang Tianyi's room to get my luggage. She looked at me and said quietly, "Alas, a girl can't be kept at home when she grows up."
I glanced at the room with only a large bed and said, "You didn't even plan to let me come back to stay here, but you just asked for a king-size bed room."
"You already have Old Man Xiao, why are you still sleeping with me? When will he leave?"
This guy is quite resentful. He was originally Old Xiao, but now he has been upgraded to Old Man Xiao. Fortunately, Xiao Shiqiu is not here, otherwise the two of them would have been bickering again.
"He will follow us and return to China together."
Huang Tianyi was a little surprised. "He's been out for so long? The company doesn't need to care about him?"
"There are people who take care of the company's affairs for him..." I said with a little guilt.
Huang Tianyi then reacted, "He's treating my Ayi like a donkey again! Old man Xiao is really something!" Amid her roar, I quickly evacuated!
As usual, Xiao Shiqiu booked the best suite. As soon as I entered the room, I complained to him about being blamed by Huang Tianyi.
"She said you treated Tang Yi like a donkey, and she's even treating me badly."
Xiao Shiqiu pulled me into his arms and said, "Donkey work is not that easy. If she keeps complaining, I'll send Ayi to the mine for six months."
I can see that no matter who wins the argument between the two of them, Tang Yi will be the one who suffers in the end.
Just as he was about to make advances towards me, there was a knock on the door.
He said angrily, "Anyone who comes knocking on the door now should be sent to the mines!"
Although he said so, when Zhao Hu's voice was heard outside, Xiao Shiqiu immediately went to open the door with a serious face.
Standing at the door were Zhao Hu, Song Ci, Xiao Yan and Azhi.
Xiao Shiqiu turned sideways and motioned them to come in. When Song Ci looked at me, he looked a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Xiao, we are taking a flight back to China tonight and would like to borrow Xiaoyan and Azhi from you." Zhao Hu said straight to the point.
Qian Hongcai and Song Ci escorted two prisoners back to China. Worried about accidents on the way, they wanted Xiaoyan and Azhi to follow.
He thought that now that the person had been caught, and Xiao Shiqiu had brought two bodyguards with him, it would be fine if Xiaoyan and Azhi didn't follow us.
Xiao Shiqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Azhi can go back with you. Xiaoyan is a girl, so it will be more convenient for her to stay with my wife.
I'll have Lao Wen contact the police here and have them send someone to put you on a plane, flying directly to City A. I'll have Lao Wen arrange for someone to pick you up there, and that way the three of you shouldn't be in any trouble."
Qian Hongcai thought it was feasible and his expression relaxed. "Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Xiao."
"Officer Qian, have you found out anything during the interrogation?" Xiao Shiqiu asked calmly.
Qian Hongcai, using the alias Zhao Hu, shook his head and said, "Not yet. One of them is a repeat offender. After returning to China, fingerprints and DNA were found. I suspect he has a criminal record."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Song Ci, who looked as if he had done something wrong and took half a step forward. "Mengmeng, that day I..." He pursed his lips. "As a police officer, my mission this time was to protect you. I should have rushed forward immediately."
I could see that he felt quite guilty and his words were a little incoherent.
"If I had it to do over again, I might still... I admit that I had selfish motives when I took this mission...
No matter what, this is my fault." He suddenly bowed to me and said, "I'm sorry~!"
Xiao Shiqiu suddenly chuckled, "I understand. If it were me, I would also protect my fiancée first. So, mixing work and personal matters is a potential risk in itself. It's best not to have to choose between these two things in the future."
Qian Hongcai slapped Song Ci on the back: "Did you hear that? Go back and write a 3,000-word self-criticism!"
He turned to me and sighed, "This kid could have been rewarded with merit, but now his merits and demerits probably cancel each other out."
