Chapter 97 I’m afraid it’s poisonous, you can eat it
Qiao Bei smacked his lips at the cake.
It looks delicious.
Just as I was about to open the box, I remembered that this was given by Fu Tanxiu.
She stopped and walked up to Zong Bo with the cake.
He stretched out his hand and said, "Here you go."
Zong Bo laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared.
"Hey, a cake, is it for me?"
"Um."
"Didn't your father buy this for you?"
"I'm afraid it's poisonous, you can eat it."
Zong Bo: “…”
Qiao Bei put down the cake and walked away quickly.
I’m afraid that I’ll regret it if I’m a step late.
Zong Bo opened the box and took a bite. "It's delicious, sweet but not greasy, and has an excellent taste. The blueberries are very fresh..."
"Zong Bo, can you please not talk while you eat?"
Zong Bo: "Sorry, I won't say anymore."
Qiao Bei glanced at the time and it was almost time to get off work.
She picked up her bag and said, "Uncle Zong, I'm leaving."
She is going to buy a cake.
I looked around the square but couldn't find the cake that Fu Tanxiu bought.
I had no choice but to buy a pound of egg cake from the roadside to satisfy my craving.
…
A bar box.
The man leaned on the black leather sofa, his legs crossed, long and straight.
His narrow eyes, lacking their usual sharpness, stared blankly at something in front of him. His overly white fingers gripped the carved glass, his thoughts unclear.
Shi Qian bumped into his friend's arm.
"What are you thinking about?"
Fu Tanxiu came back to his senses: "Nothing."
"Nothing, you look like you've been dumped. Are you going to be dumped by Qiao Bei again?"
Fu Tanxiu said nothing.
Shi Qian: "This must be the legendary crematorium for chasing one's wife. I sympathize with you."
Fu Tanxiu glanced at him.
"I heard that your cooperation this time fell through, and you even beat up the other party."
Shi Qian: "Even if that kind of scum begs me to cooperate with him, I won't bother him anymore."
Fu Tanxiu remained silent.
Shi Qian took a sip of wine and suddenly asked, "Have you heard about the Li family in Gangcheng?"
Fu Tanxiu nodded: "I heard a little bit."
"It's said the kidnappers had received the ransom and were planning to kill the hostage. Fortunately, someone intervened and rescued the Li family's only son. However, the kidnappers haven't been caught yet. The Li family's son is practically useless. He was tortured beyond recognition, his legs are broken, and he's probably also suffered tremendous psychological trauma."
Fu Tanxiu's eyes turned a little colder.
"Be careful recently, that guy has started committing crimes again."
"Um."
Shi Qian nodded.
The kidnapper specializes in kidnapping wealthy people or their families and extorting money.
The most hateful thing is that even if he is paid a ransom, he will still kill the victim. He is betting that these wealthy families will not sit idly by and will pay as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
After giving the money, he killed the person.
Over the years, he has committed many crimes and is very rampant.
The upper classes everywhere were in a state of panic.
The next morning, as soon as Qiao Bei arrived at the gate of the community, he saw Fu Tanxiu, wearing a long black coat, leaning against the car door and talking on the phone.
Especially eye-catching.
People passing by looked at him sideways.
Perhaps he was used to being stared at, so he didn't feel anything and continued talking on the phone calmly.
Qiao Bei covered her face with her bag and prepared to blend in with the crowd going to work.
He had only taken two steps when someone grabbed his collar from behind.
She sighed, put her bag down and turned away.
Fu Tanxiu looked at her with cold eyes.
Then he forcefully pulled her into the car.
"Uncle Chen, go to the clinic."
Old Chen responded and started the car.
Qiao Bei sat against the car door, not wanting to pay attention to Fu Tanxiu.
Fu Tanxiu didn't touch her again.
After a long silence, he said, "I'm going on a business trip to Country F. It might take a week, or at most half a month. I'll be back as soon as possible."
Qiao Bei's eyes lit up and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Finally, he said, "Take care of yourself."
Fu Tanxiu did not miss her little look.
His eyes darkened.
"Are you happy I'm leaving?"
Qiao Bei really wanted to answer yes, but when she saw Fu Tanxiu's gloomy face, she changed her words.
"No, I'm not happy, nor am I sad. Your business trip is your business, it has nothing to do with me."
Fu Tanxiu took a look outside and immediately went to the clinic. He didn't dwell on this issue anymore.
"If you have any questions while I'm away, please contact Secretary Yu. I'll send you his phone number, please save it."
"Go home early after get off work and don't walk at night."
“Eat well, but don’t overeat.”
Qiao Bei: “…”
Why is this person so long-winded? It's as if he is about to die and is making arrangements for his funeral.
Fu Tanxiu thought about it and that seemed to be all.
After the car stopped, he got out and opened the door for Qiao Bei.
Qiao Bei got out of the car and waved to him. Just as she was about to turn around, Fu Tanxiu grabbed her and held her in his arms.
Qiao Bei was furious: "Fu Tanxiu, let me go!"
"Be good, just hold me for a while."
"No hug! Let me go!"
Fu Tanxiu let her go with a smile: "Come in quickly."
Qiao Bei's face flushed red, and he made a fierce expression: "What do you care? Of course I'll go in!"
Then he ran into the clinic angrily.
Fu Tanxiu watched her go in before he opened the car door and got in.
After a long while, Qiao Bei still felt his cheeks burning.
The nasty man always takes advantage of her.
However, she would not be harassed by him for the next period of time, and she felt much better.
…
In a dilapidated residential building.
A gloomy-looking, pale man leaned on the sofa, rubbing his temples with his fingers.
Because of the pain, he kept frowning and closing his eyes.
The room had thick curtains drawn and no lights on.
In the darkness, another man stood in front of the gloomy man: "Eagle, why don't you find a doctor to see you? It's not a solution to continue in such pain."
The man named Eagle didn't respond.
Two minutes later, he asked, "How's the exit process going?"
The other party replied: "They are searching very closely and we can't leave for the time being. We may have to stay here for a while until they relax their search before we can take action."
There was another silence in the room.
A piercing pain came over him, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The gloomy man fell directly onto the sofa.
The standing man immediately walked up to him.
"Eagle! Eagle! Are you okay?"
"Medicine...Give me a pill."
The man got up and went to the room. After a while, he came back with a medicine bottle, took out a pill and stuffed it into the gloomy man's mouth.
A few more minutes passed.
The gloomy man felt less pain and sat up.
"How many pills are left?"
"There's only one left."
The man closed his eyes and said, "Let's go find a doctor. Let's go to a small clinic."
"Eagle, when I went upstairs just now, I heard a few old ladies chatting downstairs. They said there's a Master Qiao, a Chinese medicine practitioner with great medical skills. How about I get her over to show you?"
"It's not appropriate to make a commotion now. Go find out where Master Qiao is and I'll go there myself."
…
Qiao Bei was about to get off work.
A tall, thin, gloomy-looking man came in. His face was as pale as a ghost, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was enduring something.
"Excuse me, who is Master Qiao?"
