The bearded man stared gloomily into the empty corridor, his eyes narrowed, a feeling of being watched creeping into his heart.
But there was nothing in that direction.
The bearded man looked away and shook his head. "It's nothing, let's go."
Perhaps it was just his imagination.
A group of people walked past Qiqi and her friends, and the waiter standing in front of Qiqi was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.
But precisely because of this, she unintentionally cooperated with Qiqi and didn't let the other party find out.
The waiter only came to his senses after those people disappeared at the end of the corridor.
She gently patted her chest, looking as if she had just caught her breath after being frightened.
"My God, who are those people? They're terrifying!" the waiter muttered.
Qiqi frowned as soon as the other person spoke, threw a silencing note at them, and then turned around.
Sure enough, two of the people who had just left turned back.
Seeing that the spot was still empty and there was no sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
One of them raised his hand to his ear and said into the wireless earpiece, "Nobody's here."
After receiving the instructions, he turned and left in a hurry.
Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, took out a talisman from her bag, tore it into a paper figure, and then bit her finger and touched it to the center of the paper figure's forehead.
She whispered, "Keep an eye on them for me, don't let them hurt my second brother."
Let go and let the paper figure float to the ground.
The paper figure stuck to her calf, then took short steps and chased after the group of people who had left.
Qiqi then turned around, subtly removing the invisibility talisman and silencing talisman from the waitress's body, and tugged at her hem, "Sister, please take me to the restroom, I can't hold it in anymore."
The waiter seemed to suddenly realize what was happening, apologized repeatedly, and quickly led her to the restroom.
Qiqi pretended to go to the restroom, washed her hands after coming out, and then asked the waiter to take her back to the private room.
Inside the private room, the Ji family was still there. When Ji Jinnian saw her return, he immediately helped her into a high chair and asked with concern, "Why did you take so long? Did something happen?"
Qiqi didn't say anything, but just looked up at him for a while.
She hadn't looked closely before because she was scared, but she didn't expect that although her second brother's fate was considered wealthy, it was indeed a life full of ups and downs.
Moreover, judging from his appearance, he was originally destined to face a fatal calamity.
But now, they have been given a glimmer of hope and a chance to turn things around.
Is this dying appearance related to those few people?
Was this glimmer of hope because of her?
Thinking of this, Qiqi gently bit her finger, looking thoughtful.
Seeing the little girl staring at him, her expression changing every now and then, Ji Jinnian raised an eyebrow, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes behind his glasses. He raised his hand and touched his face. "Why are you staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Qiqi shook her head, her pretty little face beaming with a smile as bright as a flower. "No, I just think Second Brother is handsome."
"Is it pretty?" Ji Jinnian looked at Huo Yusen, who was about to pick up some food but paused when he heard this. "Then, compared to your little brother Jiu, who is prettier?"
Here it comes again, the drama of vying for favor is starting to unfold once more.
Qiqi was speechless. How come her taciturn scientist brother was also imitating her fourth and fifth brothers?
"They all look good!" No problem, she's a master of balancing things!
Not getting the answer she wanted from the little girl, Ji Jinnian wasn't annoyed. "Little rascal, eat up, it's getting cold!"
"Mmm, thank you, Second Brother." Qiqi smiled and continued eating.
Meat doesn't taste good when it gets cold.
Anyway, those bad guys have the little paper doll watching them. No matter what their plans are, the little paper doll will inform her immediately and will never let her second brother get into trouble.
I'll tell my parents about this when I get back, and then we'll figure out a solution together.
However, although Qiqi didn't say anything, Ji Jinnian still sensed something was wrong. He planned to find an opportunity to ask the waiter who had taken the little girl out earlier what had happened on the way.
Each of them was lost in their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke aloud.
After dinner, Qiqi took Madam Ji out to buy things again. She had sold some of her talismans to Elder Sheng and used some more, so she needed to restock.
After all, there was a group of bad guys secretly eyeing his second brother.
Ji Jinnian made an excuse that she had something to do and did not go with them. Instead, she took the opportunity to find out what had happened from the waiter she had just met.
They learned from the waiter that they had encountered a group of fierce-looking people who looked like they were not to be trifled with, but they did not have any conflict with them.
Ji Jinnian's intuition told her that her sister's unusual behavior was likely related to this group of people.
Ji Jinnian obtained the surveillance footage from the hotel for that period and decided to investigate thoroughly who these people were once she returned.
As it was getting dark, Qiqi happily prepared to go home with a bunch of her spoils.
As soon as she got in the car, the little girl fell asleep in her car seat and slept all the way to the villa, only waking up when the car stopped.
As soon as she opened her eyes and saw that she was back home, Qiqi immediately jumped out of the car with great energy and ran to the living room with all the fruit she had picked that day.
"Big brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, I bought lots of delicious fruit for you!"
Only Ji Zhixu, the eldest son of the Ji family, was in the living room.
The fourth and fifth children are doing their homework in their respective rooms, the third child hasn't come back, and the sixth child is nowhere to be found.
However, he usually appears immediately whenever he hears his sister's voice.
Ji Zhixu was reading on the sofa when he returned. Just then, Mrs. Ji and the others received a call that Qiqi had fainted and been taken to the hospital, and rushed over, missing him.
When he was about to rush to the hospital, he called and was told that Qiqi was not in any danger, had been discharged, and was eating out.
Dinner was ready at home, but he was too tired after a long day to bother with it, so he didn't go over.
Upon hearing Qiqi's voice, he quickly stood up from the sofa and walked towards the entrance.
I hadn't walked more than a few steps when I saw the little girl carrying a large fruit basket in one hand, filled with all sorts of fresh fruit.
The little girl carried the two large baskets, which were full, without any difficulty.
Upon seeing Ji Zhixu, the little girl flashed a sweet smile and called out, "Big brother."
"Mmm." Just that one sound made Ji Zhixu feel all her fatigue disappear. "You bought so much!"
"Mmm." Qiqi proudly raised her chin and pointed to the fruit in the basket, saying, "Big brother, Qiqi bought all of these for you brothers with her own money! And, Qiqi was amazing today! Not only did she catch a murderer, but she also saved everyone in the police station!"
As she spoke, she rattled off everything that had happened that day, and finally waved her little fists and made a few gestures.
"If anyone dares to bully you big brothers in the future, I will definitely beat them to a pulp!"
