Chapter 167 So you two are together?
Lin Baozhu's face was so dark it could drip water. Her third brother's worries hit her sore spot—there were so many children in the family! That bastard Bi Yuntao, he dared to make a move on Hu Zi and Tian Tian back then! Who knows if he'll be even worse now that he's back!
A chilling killing intent surged into his heart instantly—why not... end it all!
Qin Haifeng keenly caught the fleeting cold glint in her eyes and immediately lowered his voice to warn her:
"Baozhu! I know what you're thinking! But the organization has their eyes on the Bi family! If they dare to make any move, they'll be trapped!"
Lin Baozhu scoffed coldly: "It's the organization's business to keep an eye on them! What does it have to do with me? Zhao Xiaoyu and Bi Yuntao are two poisonous snakes! I can't eat or sleep peacefully until I get rid of them completely, let alone concentrate on my research!"
Qin Haifeng frowned and explained, "The organization suspects that Zhao Xiaoyu is connected to some force in Beijing and wants to follow the trail to bring them down! If we kill them now, the clues will be cut off! And if the investigation traces back to you, the consequences would be unimaginable. You don't want to invite trouble, do you?"
"Tsk!"
Lin Baozhu pressed her tongue heavily against her back teeth, her frustration and resentment almost overflowing. Qin Haifeng was right; taking action now was indeed risky, but she would die of frustration if she did nothing.
She exhaled a heavy breath and gritted her teeth, saying:
"Okay! I promise—I won't kill them for now!"
This is already her biggest concession. If Qin Haifeng dares to nag again, she really doesn't mind giving him a good beating!
Qin Haifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Just be careful not to leave any traces."
He then looked at Lin Sanlang, who was still rubbing his hands together, looking indignant, and sighed helplessly, "Third Brother, when the Bi family comes back, you must keep your temper in check! You're really getting restless..."
He lowered his voice and said, "Call me tonight, and we'll... put a sack over his head so you can vent your anger!"
Lin Sanlang was slightly relieved and patted his chest to assure everyone: "Don't worry, I, Lin Sanlang, am not the kind of person who would act without thinking. Since you've said that, I naturally won't cause trouble for the family."
"Yes, yes, yes, Third Brother is wise and mighty!"
Qin Haifeng chuckled, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's getting late, I'll head back now. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
After speaking, his gaze seemingly casually swept across Lin Baozhu's face, and when he saw her looking over, he raised an eyebrow...
As Lin Baozhu watched Qin Haifeng push his bicycle away, her doubts grew stronger.
She had a strong intuition—because her third brother was there, Qin Haifeng hadn't told the truth about Zhao Xiaoyu! He must be hiding even more crucial information!
Her family's safety was at stake, and she had to get to the bottom of it!
Thinking of this, she patted Lin Sanlang's arm: "Third Brother, you stay home and look after the children, I'm going out for some fresh air."
Lin Baozhu left those words and strode towards the door.
Not far away.
Qin Haifeng pushed the cart, walking at a leisurely pace. Hearing hurried footsteps behind him, the corners of his tightly pressed lips curved upwards in a barely perceptible arc.
Sure enough... nothing can escape her eyes.
Lin Baozhu caught up with him in a few steps, grabbed the back seat of his bicycle, lowered her voice, and got straight to the point:
"Qin Haifeng, you weren't telling the truth just now, were you?"
"Yes!" Qin Haifeng answered crisply and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
This straightforward admission surprised Lin Baozhu, and the questions she had prepared got stuck in her throat, her expression slightly stunned.
"There are too many people and too many eyes in your yard, it's inconvenient," he explained briefly.
"Then let's go to your place! It's quiet there!" Lin Baozhu decided immediately. Before she finished speaking, she grabbed the back seat with both hands and nimbly jumped in!
"Ouch—!" The bike suddenly lurched and shook violently! Caught off guard, Qin Haifeng frantically steadied the handlebars, narrowly avoiding a fall.
"Lin Baozhu! Couldn't you wait until I've steadyed yourself before you jump?!" he growled in a low voice, still shaken. "If you had fallen, wouldn't you have been sitting on the ground crying your eyes out?" (His tone was tinged with lingering fear and a hint of barely perceptible indulgent reproach.)
Upon hearing this, Lin Baozhu lightly slapped him twice on the waist, her tone confident yet tinged with a hint of smugness:
"With you supporting me, how could I fall?"
These words seemed to possess a strange magic; Qin Haifeng instinctively straightened his back, as if he were about to shoulder a thousand-pound burden. His earlier stiffness vanished, and he chuckled softly, his voice softening slightly:
"I can't let you fall. Hold on tight! Here we go—!"
With that, he pushed off with all his might with his long legs! The bicycle shot forward like an arrow!
"Ah!" The immense inertia caused Lin Baozhu to lean back violently! In a moment of panic, she instinctively reached forward and grabbed his shirt tightly at his waist, her entire upper body pressed firmly against his broad back...
boom--!
The soft, full touch on his back felt like an electric current, instantly piercing Qin Haifeng! He felt the area that had been in contact with him burning hot, as if it could scorch through his clothes! His handsome face flushed bright red, the color spreading from his ears all the way down his neck, and his back instantly tensed like a steel plate!
Lin Baozhu also felt the overly intimate contact and the unnatural stiffness. Her face flushed, and she quickly moved back a little. She placed one hand on his back to try and keep some distance—was this guy's back made of iron? It hurt her terribly! She couldn't rub it, so in a fit of embarrassment and annoyance, she retaliated by pinching the soft flesh of his lower back hard!
"Hiss—!" Qin Haifeng gasped, a shiver running down his back.
"You still hiss?!" Lin Baozhu was furious and embarrassed, her voice rising, "Don't you know how strong you are? That last shove almost knocked the air out of me!"
Qin Haifeng: "..."
He felt the heat on his face, which had just subsided, suddenly rise even more intensely! Even his pedaling became a little stiff.
"You...you better hold on tight!"
His voice was a little strained, "Don't... bump into anything again."
Even so, I quietly reduced the force I used to pedal.
But the blush on her earlobes just wouldn't fade.
As night fell, the summer heat lingered. Many villagers squatted on their doorsteps or in front of their courtyards, eating from large, rough porcelain bowls, chatting and enjoying the cool air.
Qin Haifeng rode his bike, his cheeks burning, wishing he could bury his head in the handlebars and just want to get past this group of people as quickly as possible.
result……
Lin Baozhu, sitting in the back seat, not only failed to notice his embarrassment, but also waved enthusiastically to the crowd:
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang! Are you eating?"
"Hey! Eat up!" A middle-aged woman holding a bowl noticed their posture and chuckled, teasingly calling out, "Baozhu, you and Haifeng... you're getting together?"
Lin Baozhu laughed heartily and replied generously, "Haha! Auntie and I are still in the 'getting to know each other' stage!"
"Oh my! Look at Haifeng's face!"
