Qiqi rolled her eyes and said, "You win!"
Turning to look at Liao Gang, a sweet smile appeared on her delicate, porcelain-like face. "It's nothing bad, I just thought about it carefully. I feel that upholding justice and protecting the innocent is our inescapable responsibility! So I've decided to go with you to meet that old man!"
The little girl's sudden change made Liao Gang ecstatic.
He jumped up, as if afraid the girl would change her mind, and hurriedly started to walk out, saying, "Great, let's go over there right away!"
That was a great hero with outstanding military achievements, and he really dared not keep the other party waiting for long!
"Wait a minute!" Qiqi swung her little legs and glanced at Yan Zheng, who was guarding the door. "Uncle Liao, ordinary police officers can't handle this case. Don't you have Qingyi's phone number? Let him come over!"
It's just a simple love potion that devours the heart; having Qingyi handle it should solve the problem.
"Okay, I'll call Master Qingyi right now." Liao Gang didn't dare to call Qingyi by his name like Qiqi did.
He was still very respectful to Qingyi.
After all, she is also a capable person, but she might be weaker than Qiqi... more than just a little weaker.
Liao Gang immediately called Qingyi to briefly explain the situation.
When Qingyi heard that Qiqi had sent him, he agreed without saying a word.
After being rejected by Qiqi last time, he had been struggling with how to persuade the little master to agree to his request.
Unexpectedly, before he could even come up with an excuse, Qiqi assigned him a task.
He had to do his best to complete the young master's instructions!
Qingyi took a taxi and arrived.
He had originally planned to make a good impression on his master, but when he arrived, Qiqi had already left.
Only one big, dumb detective remained, the kind who was even more clueless than Liao Gang.
Qingyi's face immediately fell!
After Liao Gang finished making the call to Qingyi, he and Qiqi left the Shen family.
Before leaving, he instructed Shen Xuan to cooperate fully with the police investigation.
We'll go to the Ji family to find her again tomorrow morning, and together we'll get rid of the love curse on Ji Beichen.
Originally, Qiqi planned to stay at the Shen family's house tonight and take care of Shen's parents' affairs.
But now I have to go see that old man at the last minute, so I have to change my plans.
Fortunately, Shen Xuan's kinship with the Shen family has been severed, so the remaining minor issues will not have a significant impact and can be resolved quickly.
Shen Xuan was initially a little uneasy, worried that Qi Qi would abandon her after leaving. But upon hearing what she said, she immediately felt relieved and even a little touched, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Young master, you must be careful by yourself. If anything happens..."
Shen Xuan wanted to tell him to call her if anything happened.
But then I realized I was pretty useless, and calling her probably wouldn't do any good, so I figured I might as well call the police!
However, she was accompanied by the captain of the criminal investigation team, so she awkwardly got stuck there.
Fortunately, Qiqi understood her and took the initiative to ease her embarrassment, "Don't worry, Sister Chen, with Uncle Liao here, I'll be fine!"
Liao Gang: ...
He couldn't help but touch his beard, looking somewhat melancholy.
Is it because he grows a beard that he looks old?
Why does this young master call that girl "sister" but him "uncle"?
He doesn't look much older than that girl, does he?
Little did he know that Qiqi was addressed according to her cousin's generational naming convention.
Sister Shen is my eldest cousin's destined soulmate, the one who will become his cousin's wife in the future. So naturally, I can't just call her "auntie" because she's a senior!
Liao Gang looked at Qi Qi, then at Shen Xuan, and made a decision in his heart.
I'll shave my beard when I get back!
***
The meeting place was a quaint teahouse.
It's a very traditional Chinese-style building, and the greeters and waitresses inside are all dressed in traditional Chinese cheongsams.
The tea room is designed as a private room, ensuring absolute privacy for guests.
A beautiful and elegant hostess led Liao Gang, who had a thick beard, inside. Beside the burly and rugged man was a delicate and pretty little girl.
The little girl had two little pigtails, wore a white t-shirt and a red mini skirt, white knee-high socks and black leather shoes, and carried a HelloKetty crossbody bag. Her big, dark eyes looked around, and she was so cute that it made people's noses bleed.
The greeters here are all professionally trained and generally won't stare at a guest unless they can't help it!
When the Yin soldiers couldn't help but let their gaze fall on Qiqi for the nth time, they met the little girl's big, dark, and bright eyes.
The little girl wasn't shy at all; she grinned and gave her a bright smile, which melted the heart of the hostess.
Ahhh... What a beautiful and adorable child! I want to steal her home!
Today is another day I've been tricked into wanting to have a daughter!
The greeter, caught red-handed, smiled sheepishly at Qiqi, her earlobes flushing slightly as she looked away.
Soon, we arrived at the door of the private room.
The private room was named "High Mountains and Flowing Water." Qiqi glanced at the name written in cursive script above the door and couldn't help but click her tongue in her mind.
The saying goes, "High mountains and flowing water seek a kindred spirit." These adults, even when choosing a private room, have to play mind games.
But she's still a child, and children can't understand the intricacies of adult thinking!
After the greeter led them there, he tactfully turned and left.
Liao Gang waited until she was out of sight before raising his hand to knock on the door.
An old, yet powerful voice came from inside.
"Enter!"
Liao Gang reached for the doorknob, and before opening the door, he turned back anxiously to instruct, "Young Master, the man inside is an old revolutionary hero, and also my former leader. Could you please, for the sake of his contributions to the country and the people, be a little more polite when you speak to him later?!"
Although the little master is actually very well-behaved and polite compared to other children his age.
However, after experiencing a ghostly encounter with the little master, and with the government's decision to establish a special department, he learned many things he had never known before.
It turns out that over the years, countless paranormal events have occurred across the country, with numerous bizarre deaths and even the deaths of many police officers involved.
The establishment of a special department to reduce such sacrifices has been a major concern for the old leader for the past two years.
The old leader is eager to set up the special department as soon as possible, and he will be very sad if Qiqi refuses again.
Qiqi sighed, then nodded like a little adult, "Don't worry, Uncle Liao, I know!"
Liao Gang: You better be!
However, he shouldn't have expected a young girl to know anything about social etiquette.
Liao Gang took a deep breath and resignedly pushed open the door to go inside.
Inside the private room, the incense burner emitted a delicate sandalwood fragrance, and wisps of incense smoke drifted in the air, creating a calming and pleasant aroma.
Liao Gang's initial anxiety subsided!
