If it were someone who was more superstitious, they might actually have been fooled by Wang Qian's pretentious manner.
But trying to play tricks on her is like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu.
"That's why I made the bet with you."
Wang Qian's lips curled into a sly smile. "If my prediction is correct, you can't bother me anymore. Go where you're supposed to go and do what you're supposed to do."
"What if you're wrong about your prediction?" He Miaoyin asked indignantly.
"If I'm wrong, I'll do whatever you want."
Wang Qian shrugged, looking like he was ready to be killed or tortured at will.
"Alright!"
He Miaoyin didn't make any unreasonable demands, but simply said, "We'll see in five days."
"So, you've agreed?" Wang Qian pressed.
He made a bet with He Miaoyin just to force her to leave.
Otherwise, staying by his side all the time would only be a waste of his abilities.
Of course, being by his side can indeed help him a lot.
For example, with Liu Qingqing's offensive this time, if it weren't for He Miaoyin, he wouldn't know how to deal with it.
only,
Everyone has their own life.
In this life, no matter how much he wants to improve, it shouldn't be based on destroying a world-class detective.
"Since you're so annoyed with me, I might as well leave!"
He Miaoyin curled her lip in disdain.
But then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she leaned closer and asked with a grin, "Are you trying so hard to get rid of me because you're afraid your wife, Lin Xiaoyu, will misunderstand?"
Wang Qian rolled his eyes. "What are you thinking? There's nothing wrong between us. What misunderstanding do I have to be afraid of?"
That's quite disappointing.
He Miaoyin smiled slyly, "I'm actually quite curious to see your wife, Lin Xiaoyu, and maybe create some misunderstandings to see how jealous she'll get."
Wang Qian's expression froze. "Your idea is very dangerous."
"I was just kidding."
He Miaoyin waved her slender hand and exclaimed, "Aside from being a bit shameless, you're not a bad person."
"Oh? What do you think is good about me?"
"Kind, principled, and intelligent."
At this point, He Miaoyin looked Wang Qian up and down again, "Although I don't really want to admit it, you are... quite handsome."
After speaking, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she was somewhat hesitant to meet Wang Qian's gaze.
Wang Qian was stunned.
So even such a brilliant sage can be shy?
This is indeed quite different from the mysterious, brilliant, and world-class detective he had imagined, someone who could always see through human nature.
But then he thought about it again and felt relieved.
Every human being is made of flesh and blood and has feelings.
He Miaoyin was no exception.
Moreover, He Miaoyin is still a young woman, and she is still susceptible to feelings between men and women.
"Alright, I'm off then!"
He Miaoyin didn't waste any time, put away her crossed legs, and smiled nonchalantly, "I'll be back in five days."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you then!"
Wang Qian waved goodbye to He Miaoyin.
He Miaoyin didn't linger; she packed her things and left.
Why did you let her leave?
Huang Bo leaned closer and said regretfully, "How could you let such a smart, beautiful woman get away?"
You'll find out why later!
Wang Qian didn't explain much, but simply asked, "How are your law firm's preparations going?"
During this period, Huang Bo and Yao Xishui had already found a suitable location and rented a house. They were just waiting for an auspicious day to officially open for business.
"You don't need to worry about my affairs."
Huang Bo waved his hand and forced back to the previous topic, "Do you know He Miaoyin well? Tell me, what's her background?"
"Let's leave this topic here!"
Wang Qian waved his hand dismissively, "If you ask again, I'm leaving!"
"Still playing mysterious with me?"
Huang Bo pursed his lips, but seeing Wang Qian's serious expression, he didn't press the matter.
Although he and Wang Qian were usually quite informal with each other, they had a great understanding of each other, knowing each other's bottom line and principles, and what level of conversation and jokes the other could accept.
"Let's get down to business. You sent Liu Qingqing to prison with one move. Do you think the Liu family will let you off the hook?"
"Liu Qingqing brought this on herself!"
Wang Qian's face turned cold. "If it weren't for He Miaoyin, Ren Guoliang would have really been killed by her. That's a human life, and a father at that. If Ren Guoliang had died, how pitiful would Ren Xiaoqiao have been?"
"But the Liu family wouldn't think that way."
Huang Bo said meaningfully, "Especially Liu Qingqing's father, Liu Jingzhong. He doesn't care about the lives of Ren Guoliang and Ren Xiaoqiao. He only knows that you sent his daughter Liu Qingqing to prison."
He paused, then added, "And then guess whether Liu Jingzhong will let this go?"
"If he really dares to lay a hand on me, I'll take it all."
Wang Qian sneered, "Liu Qingqing has crossed my bottom line. If Liu Jingzhong has any conscience, he shouldn't keep bothering me."
He then added, "If he insists on doing something underhanded, I wouldn't mind letting him and his daughter reunite in prison."
"But can you withstand the Liu family's all-out attack?" Huang Bo asked solemnly.
"No way!"
Wang Qian shook his head. "If the head of the Liu family had any brains, he wouldn't have mobilized the entire Liu Group to attack me."
"Where do you get such confidence?" Huang Bo asked.
