Qiu Miao: General Gu’s future partner must be very happy.
As soon as Qiu Yanping stepped into Huang Qice's bedroom, he felt a negative energy surrounding the bedroom. He ignored it and didn't say much. Anyway, the reward he received did not include this.
He pulled out the nightmare beast that had invaded Huang Qice's dream. The beast, which was surrounded by a ferocious black aura, was trapped under the yellow talisman and could not escape.
Huang Yutian took two steps back in shock, looking at the scene in front of him that completely overturned his worldview. This thing in front of him came out of his father's mouth? Huang Yutian consciously turned his gaze to his father's stomach. How did such a lump of stuff get in there?
Qiu Yanping noticed the change in Huang Yutian's gaze and couldn't help but pause. He had never noticed this problem before...
The Nightmare Beast was caught, but Huang Qi Ce was still in a dream and could not be awakened by the outside world. This was the last nightmare that the Nightmare Beast left for Huang Qi Ce, and he had to finish it before he could get out; or he could break through by force like Gu Wenye did, but Qiu Yanping did not think that Huang Qi Ce had the ability and courage to do so.
Qiu Yanping was about to leave, but was stopped by Huang Yutian. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Huang Yutian who refused to let him go, and said, "Former General Huang wants to keep me for dinner?"
Huang Yutian was hurt by this title. He glared at Qiu Yanping and said, "Don't think you can get ahead of others just because you have some ability. Gu Wenye is an exception. Besides, his future life may not be easy. Don't learn from a negative example." He snorted and said, "You can't leave this prince's mansion until my father wakes up completely. How do I know if you are cheating?"
Qiu Yanping looked at him speechlessly. He thought this man was really relieved about him, but it turned out that he had a little trick up his sleeve. However, this trick was not very useful. If he wanted to leave the prince's mansion, there were many ways to do it. Did he need anyone's consent?
"Former young general Huang..." Qiu Yanping started to speak, but Huang Yutian couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted him, saying angrily, "Do you have to add those two words?!"
Qiu Yanping blinked his eyes and said, "If I don't add the word 'general', what else can I call you?"
Huang Yutian realized that Qiu Yanping was deliberately trying to make him angry. He snorted and said nothing more. He raised his chin to signal Qiu Yanping to continue talking.
Qiu Yanping shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am a businessman. I get paid to do things for people, so even if I don't like you, you don't have to mess with my reputation, right?"
Huang Yutian snorted again, "Your reputation? Who in our circle doesn't know your reputation? Do you still need to protect it?"
Now it was Qiu Yanping's turn to choke. The smooth progress during this period and the attitudes of the people he got along with made him temporarily forget the original owner of this body. At most, he left the impression of a good-looking, good-natured, and talented person to the outside world. In fact, he did not have a good reputation in the academic circle or the senior cadre circle.
He smacked his lips. He liked to choke others, but few people dared to choke him. Qiu Yanping felt that this former young general Huang was not very wise.
Qiu Yanping was about to speak when he heard Huang Qi Ce on the bed suddenly shouting something. Huang Yutian hurried forward and asked, "What's going on?!"
Qiu Yanping rolled his eyes in his heart, it was just a nightmare.
He walked over slowly, pretended to check it out, and said, "Isn't it normal to scream a few times when you have a nightmare?"
As he spoke, his attention was distracted by Huang Qice's intermittent shouting and large movements.
Huang Qi Ce's face was filled with extreme fear. He closed his eyes tightly, his eyeballs moving rapidly under his eyelids, his hands and feet swinging and kicking uncontrollably, and he shouted names one by one, "...Don't come over here, don't come over here!"
Qiu Yanping raised his eyebrows, took note of a few of them, and said, "It seems that this dream is quite perceptible."
Huang Yutian glared at Qiu Yanping who was speaking in a frivolous way and said, "Think of a solution quickly!"
"Former Young General Huang, I'm just a healer. How can I have so many magical powers to do whatever I want? Your father just had a nightmare. It will be fine when he wakes up." Qiu Yanping said, and found a place to sit down, resting his chin leisurely, watching Huang Qice's struggle on the bed.
The nightmares woven by the Nightmare Beast all originate from the dreamer's deepest fear, and this fear is mostly closely related to reality. It is not difficult for Qiu Yanping to guess that the names that Huang Qice kept repeating in his mouth might have some bloody relationship with Huang Qice.
"Your hospitality in the Prince's Mansion is not very good. It's time to eat, but you force the distinguished guests to stay without even preparing some dinner?" Qiu Yanping stayed for a while, and seeing that Huang Qice showed no signs of waking up, he touched his belly and spoke again.
Huang Yutian was somewhat speechless. He clapped his hands, called the servants and ordered them to prepare the dishes. He looked at Qiu Yanping and said, "You dare to eat with confidence."
"There's nothing to worry about. What if I really did something to your father and I get into trouble, your father will suffer as well. You don't dare to take this risk, do you?" Qiu Yanping said leisurely, resting his chin on his hand.
What Qiu Yanping said hit Huang Yutian's sore spot. He really didn't dare to take the risk. He wanted to say such words to at least make Qiu Yanping feel uneasy. However, he didn't expect that the other party saw through it so clearly and directly grasped his vital point. No wonder he dared to be so arrogant.
That day, Qiu Yanping did not come out of the Prince's Mansion until around nine or ten o'clock in the evening. He touched his satisfied belly and went home.
In the general's mansion, Gu Wenye was about to go to the prince's mansion to ask for someone, but Qiu Yanping had not returned yet. If the vital signs monitors he had placed on all of Qiu Yanping's coat buttons had not shown that he was safe, he would have left long ago.
Gu Wenye was relieved to see Qiu Yanping returned safely. Gu Wenle curiously asked him why he stayed in the Prince's Mansion for so long. Qiu Yanping briefly explained the situation and also talked about the food in the Prince's Mansion. The ingredients were fresh and varied, but it was a pity that the chef's skills were not up to par, and the food was not as delicious as that in the General's Mansion.
Gu Wenle's heart itched when he heard the list of dishes Qiu Yanping listed. He kept saying, "Mr. Qiu, please eat more. Don't waste these good things."
Qiu Yanping replied to his second brother Gu seriously, "Of course not. I ate all the dishes for two people. Huang Yutian looked so unhappy. Haha." He grinned and laughed particularly happily.
Gu Wenle felt extremely comfortable.
Gu Wenye smiled and shook his head as he looked at the two funny men, saying, "I was afraid that you would be hungry if you came back late, so I asked the imam to make some snacks for you as a midnight snack. Now it seems that they will be wasted."
Gu Wenle’s eyes suddenly widened, and he almost had no time to say “there’s me too”.
Qiu Yanping put on a false smile and said, "General Gu, you are joking. We had dinner at around 6pm. Have you digested it by now? It's time for a midnight snack. What do you think, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Wenle nodded repeatedly, "It's the right time, it's the right time!"
Gu Wenye laughed and called the imam to heat up the midnight snack and bring it up.
Qiu Yanping felt that his appetite was like a bottomless pit. He scooped a spoonful of fish soup. The soup was soft and had no fishy smell. It only had a light salty taste that whetted his appetite. Combined with the fragrance of mint, it was extremely delicious.
"General Gu is so considerate. His future partner will surely be very happy." Qiu Yanping squinted his eyes and held the hot soup, sipping it as he praised.
Gu Wenye's expression changed. He looked at Qiu Yanping's face, which showed a simple and happy expression. He smiled slightly and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Really?"
Qiu Yanping uttered a light nasal sound, which was considered a direct answer.
Gu Wenle ate a bowl of hot fish soup, nestled in a chair contentedly, and listened to the conversation between his brother and future sister-in-law.
He felt that his brother was like a fisherman who was slowly pulling in the net, and there was only one big fish in the net, which was his sister-in-law.
"You said before that Huang Qi Ce called out a lot of names in his dream. Do you remember who they were?" Gu Wenye asked after Qiu Yanping finished his midnight snack and took a short rest, then got to the point.
Qiu Yanping nodded, "I wrote down a few of them." He called out a few names. As the names were called out one by one, even Gu Wenle, who had been a little lazy before, sat up straight. Qiu Yanping raised his eyebrows and said, "These people are of high status?"
Gu Wenle swallowed his saliva and said, "Not only are they not low, they are also the ones who appear on Star Network every now and then. I was wondering why I haven't seen these people recently... What does it have to do with Huang Qi Ce?"
Gu Wenye said, "I sneaked into the prince's mansion before and followed two servants who were going to throw away garbage to a backyard where many strange rocks were placed. The thing the two servants wanted to throw away was a bag of minced meat, and I found half a finger with a nail attached in it."
Gu Wenle's expression changed twice, "Hand, finger?"
Qiu Yanping narrowed his eyes slightly. "You mean, all these missing people have become this bag of meat?"
"You may not be familiar with these people. They are all members of the Pro-Ren Party. They have repeatedly contradicted Huang Qi Ce's proposals. Huang Qi Ce definitely has the motive to catch all of them in one fell swoop." Gu Wenye said. When he found the bags of minced meat, he had already made a list of the politicians who had disappeared in recent years in his mind. When Qiu Yanping reported those names, almost all of them were on the list, and he realized that most of his guesses were correct.
"So many body parts were dumped in his own back garden... Huang Qi Ce is really ruthless." Qiu Yanping said, "No wonder his bedroom was filled with gloomy air and the whole prince's mansion was filled with an uncomfortable smell.
