Xu Xin's eyes widened in astonishment.
She didn't understand, but she was deeply moved.
Xu Xin quietly opened a crack in the door and saw her father half-lying on the sofa with his legs spread apart. Qin Huai was standing in front of her father, bending over and leaning forward.
Do you have a thing for both father and daughter?
When those four words came to mind, Xu Xin felt an immense sense of humiliation.
She gritted her teeth, pushed open the door, and went out.
"you……"
Xu Xin was about to angrily question him when the rest of her words got stuck in her throat.
Qin Huai was rubbing Xu Guojun's stomach, and a bottle of safflower oil was on the coffee table next to him.
The two looked at Xu Xin at the same time, and Xu Guojun said awkwardly, "Did I wake you up?"
"without……"
Seeing the redness and swelling on her father's shoulder and the bruises on his stomach, Xu Xin's previous wild thoughts vanished, and she frowned and asked, "How did you get hurt?"
"well!"
Just as Xu Guojun was about to speak, he heard Qin Huai sigh.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Huai said, "Uncle Xu was injured while protecting me from harm."
Xu Xin frowned: "Help you block the damage?"
"Yes, Uncle Xu underestimated my strength and was afraid something might happen to me. Although it was meaningless, I was still very touched. Thank you, Uncle Xu. I felt the warmth of a father from you," Qin Huai said with a grateful expression.
Xu Guojun was silent for two seconds, then waved his hand and revealed a fatherly smile: "How was I supposed to know you were such a good fighter? Sigh, I dragged you down. But even if we did it all over again, I still couldn't help but stand in front of you. It's my daughter who likes you, so it's what I should do."
"Uncle Xu, you're so kind!"
"Silly child, treat my daughter well, okay?"
"Yes! Uncle Xu!"
"Silly child!"
"Uncle Xu!"
"Silly child!"
"Uncle!"
"Fool……"
"That's enough!"
Xu Xin said irritably, "Stop pretending. Did Dad break any bones?"
"No, don't worry, Uncle. Even if you become disabled, I will still take care of you until the end."
"...Will they kowtow?"
"They will kowtow when seeing someone off at their deathbed."
"Let me see you kowtow a couple of times now, just to get familiar with it. I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself and you'll hurt your head."
"I said that's enough!"
Xu Xin couldn't help but want to explode.
Two unreliable people getting together, who knows what absurd things they'll do in the future.
"Shh!"
As if on the same wavelength, Qin Huai and Xu Guojun simultaneously raised their index fingers and whispered, "Don't wake Xiao Jing up."
"We're quite in sync now."
Xu Xin sneered and said, "So, you don't need to sleep anymore?"
"Go to sleep, I'll go to sleep right away."
Qin Huai and Xu Guojun immediately returned to their respective rooms.
Before closing the door, the two of them, as if by prior agreement, raised their middle fingers at each other.
He found that the other person had done the same thing, chuckled twice, and closed the door.
Xu Xin had a headache.
He put the safflower oil back in the drawer and paused before heading to Xu Jing's room.
Qin Huai was taking off his clothes to go to sleep when he saw Xu Xin come in. He was silent for three seconds before saying, "Come on. Let's fight until dawn."
Xu Xin rolled her eyes, lay down on the bed, and asked, "How did my dad get hurt?"
He wanted to settle things peacefully.
"Resolved?"
"It's solved."
"Then go to sleep."
"Um."
After Qin Huai lay down, he pulled Xu Xin into his arms from behind and said, "Your dad loves both of you very much."
"I know."
"Why don't you withdraw from Zhige?"
"On what grounds?"
"I'll take care of you."
"unnecessary."
You'll need this, won't you?
"Don't push me! Do you want me to break it? Ugh, you're so annoying... Ugh..."
After a brief moment of quiet, the bed frame began to creak incessantly.
Xu Guojun, who had come out with a cup to get some water, stood silently in place for a moment. After a while, he turned around and went back into the house. He lay on the bed with a blank look in his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Damn, young people have amazing stamina..."
Around 5 a.m., Xu Xin fled in panic and hurriedly went to Xu Jing's room.
Qin Huai smacked his lips, feeling that he was the one who had been hurt.
I glanced at the sky outside the window, which was already turning a pale white, yawned, and fell into a deep sleep.
"Boss, that lady called, is she going for free? Want to go? Want to go? Want to go?"
The ringing of the cell phone woke Qin Huai up.
He glanced at the time in a daze.
7:23 AM.
Looking at the three characters "Wei Shengnan" on the caller ID, Qin Huai sighed.
This is called karma in this lifetime.
"Hey, what do you want?" Qin Huai asked weakly.
“A body was found in Dongshui Bay last night. The facial features were severely damaged and could not be identified. However, DNA comparison confirmed the identity as Jiang Limou, the former deputy general manager of the Chongcheng branch of Tianhuai Group.”
"Oh? Why are you telling me this?"
“I found out that Jiang Limao once placed an order with an assassin to kill you.”
"Does that mean you doubt me?"
“You have a motive, but I believe it wasn’t you.”
Qin Huai sat up impatiently, scratched his messy hair, and said, "So what exactly do you want? Stop beating around the bush and just say it."
"I...I want you to help me investigate a case. I suspect that Jiang Limou was seriously injured and then drowned in the river by another group of people, but there are no clues at the moment..."
It has to be said that Wei Shengnan's intuition is really quite eerie.
