Chapter 125 Three people sharing a table
Liang Gezhou locked onto Xia Lili at first sight, and quickly stepped forward. In front of everyone's shocked gazes—
Bow deeply!
"Officer Xia!" His voice trembled with fear. "I'm Liang Gezhou, chairman of Ruiling Airlines, and Liang Chuyue's father."
Everyone was shocked!
Liang Chuyue, who had been so arrogant just now, now looked pale. She stood behind her father with her head down, her fingers tightly grasping the hem of her skirt. She was as obedient as a rabbit. Where was the arrogance left?
Liang Gezhou stood up and said solemnly, "We did find undeclared high-energy-density lithium batteries in the cargo hold. If you hadn't insisted on checking, once we took off..."
"Thank you very much for your persistence this time. You saved our Ruiling Airlines."
Liang Gezhou pulled out a black card inlaid with diamonds from his suit pocket and presented it with both hands. "This is the Ruiling Airlines Diamond Card. In the future, if you want to fly to any city in China or abroad, we can arrange any flight for you, even if it's an hour before departure."
Liang Chuyue finally raised her head and bowed with red eyes: "I'm sorry... I was ignorant before..."
Before Xia Lili could say anything, Liang Gezhou handed over a gold-stamped document: "This is a lifetime free stay at a five-star hotel under the Ruiling Group. Just a small token of my gratitude."
Liang Gezhou owns not only an airline but also a large membership supermarket, hotels, restaurants, a golf course, and more. He then offered his business card with both hands: "If you have any questions, feel free to call me."
Liang Gezhou gave the business card along with a check: "This is a gift from me, please accept it, otherwise I will feel guilty."
Liang Gezhou kept bowing, as if he would not leave unless Xia Lili accepted him.
Xia Lili had no choice but to accept it.
Liang Gezhou breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly, "I still need to talk to security. Excuse me."
He came and left in a hurry, leaving Xia Lili, who was holding the card, business card, and check, confused.

When she arrived at the door of the VIP lounge, Xia Lili saw Jiang Yun at a glance.
He was sunken in the large single sofa in the VIP lounge, his slender knuckles pressed against his temples. The light from his cell phone screen reflected on his well-defined face, but it could not illuminate the gloom between his brows.
His eyes were fixed on the screen, his fingertips sliding unconsciously, and with every swipe, his jawline tightened a little.
"Jiang Yun!"
Xia Lili shouted and trotted over.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Yun looked up suddenly, and the haze in his eyes disappeared, as if a star suddenly fell into the night sky after the dark clouds had dispersed.
His neat black hair hung down in front of his forehead, slightly covering his eyebrows and eyes, but it stretched out the moment he saw her clearly, and her clear figure was reflected in his eyes.
"Lili."
He stood up, his voice clear and warm. "How is it? Is the matter resolved? I heard there was a conflict at Gate B27, and I was worried about whether you would be in trouble."
Xia Lili keenly caught his tenseness at that moment, and her eyes subconsciously swept over to the phone he was holding tightly - the screen was full of the hot search interface, and the entry #Jiang Yun fans disrupt airport order# was followed by a glaring word "explosion".
Her heart suddenly tightened.
"I'm fine." She grabbed his sleeve, exerting a little force with her fingertips, as if to pull him out of the vortex of malice.
"I've seen all the trending searches. Don't pay attention to those people talking nonsense! I felt something was wrong when I picked them up at the airport. I even wrote down the face of the black masked man who organized the pick-up. I'll definitely help you find out!"
She was so angry that her cheeks puffed up slightly and her eyes were surprisingly bright, like a little tiger with its fur standing on end. She wanted to pounce on him and tear apart the slanderous remarks he made.
Jiang Yun looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness. He chuckled softly and tapped her angry cheek: "Okay, I'll wait for the little heroine to support me."
Before he finished speaking, his gaze passed her and fell behind her - more than a dozen uniformed police officers were walking into the VIP lounge. Li Qihan, who was in the lead, had an upright figure and a stern aura, making him particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
Li Qihan was keenly aware of the gaze, and his sharp eyes swept over and met Jiang Yun's gaze. Their gazes collided in mid-air, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and silent sparks flew.
Xia Lili had her back to them, completely unaware. She just looked up and asked apologetically, "Jiang Yun, have you eaten?"
Jiang Yun retracted his gaze, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Not yet, I'm waiting for you."
"I've never been to an airport VIP lounge before." Xia Lili blinked, trying to dispel the gloom that remained between his brows.
He chuckled and pushed her towards the restaurant. "Come on, I'll show you what delicious food there is."
Xia Lili and Jiang Yun carried their plates and walked around the buffet table filled with a wide variety of food.
She stood on tiptoe, pointed at a dessert, and excitedly tugged at Jiang Yun's sleeve: "This! This is super delicious, I saw it in a magazine before!"
Jiang Yun chuckled, took the tongs from her hand, picked up a piece for her, and took another piece under her sparkling gaze. Soon, the two plates of food piled up into a small mountain.
Xia Lili and Jiang Yun huddled together, whispering and laughing from time to time, like two greedy little animals. Even the air around them was filled with youthfulness.
Not far away, Li Qihan picked up his plate expressionlessly and walked in the opposite direction of them.
His movements were neat and tidy, as if he was not selecting food but performing some precise task - picking up dishes, serving soup, and taking cutlery, without a single unnecessary movement.
Luo Xiao followed him with a plate in hand. His eyes couldn't help but drift towards Xia Lili. He couldn't help but sigh, "Captain Li, look at Xiao Xia and Jiang Yun. It feels like she comes alive when she's with him. She's chirping like a little sparrow."
He paused, shook his head, and smiled like an auntie. "When they stand together, they have an inexplicable sense of being a perfect match, like two childhood sweethearts. Don't you think so?"
Li Qihan's hand paused imperceptibly.
He glanced sideways, his gaze coldly sweeping over the two people laughing and joking not far away, then withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, his voice so calm that no emotion could be heard: "Focus on eating, and stop gossiping."
"If you had used your gossipy energy to solve cases, you should have been promoted to my boss by now."
The smile on Luo Xiao's face suddenly disappeared: "......?"
Luo Xiao blinked in confusion, and before he could react, Li Qihan had already strode away with the dinner tray. His back was as straight as a pine tree, but he exuded an inexplicable coldness that kept strangers away.
Did he say something wrong???
Captain Li is so scary today!
After Xia Lili and Jiang Yun finished choosing their meals, they looked around and found that the restaurant was already mostly occupied.
The other police officers gathered at a table in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing, but Li Qihan was the only one sitting alone by the window, eating a simple meal in front of him slowly.
The table could obviously seat four people, but the aura around him was so strong that others didn't dare to get close, so the two chairs next to him were empty, which seemed particularly abrupt.
Xia Lili opened her eyes wide and shrank her neck.
She and Jiang Yun exchanged a glance and whispered, "...It seems I can only share the table with Captain Li?"
