Chapter 161 Chapter 161 (Two in One) Qingqing, I’m fine…
Two flights, one landed and one took off.
Ten thousand meters in the sky, Bai Qingqing was lying on a chair, bored, looking up at her phone.
Buzzing messages kept popping up from the top of the phone, all of which were greetings from her wealthy clients in Eastern Province.
The Bai family's incident was too superficial this time, and the means of covering it up were so poor that people almost thought the Bai family was acting. Who was the instigator of this incident has become an unspoken secret in the circle.
The wealthy people who came to Bai Qingqing to inquire about the situation all spoke in a very tactful and secretive way. Bai Qingqing took a quick look and was too lazy to open the pages to read the details, so she looked it up online herself.
In just over seven hours after leaving, the situation in the country...changed.
The Bai family and the Jiang family were pushed to the forefront, and the ones who received the most attention were Jiang Muning and Ao Xinyi.
Bai Qingqing frowned, recalling this part of the plot in the original text.
But I can think of all the things related to these contents, all of which happened because of Li Qingqing. Now she is already abroad, but the events that happened have not changed. It seems that they happened earlier because Jiang Mu Ning left the country earlier...
Is this driven by the Tiandao plot?
Bai Qingqing held the phone in her hand and tapped twice with her fingertips resting on the side. Recalling Ao Xinyi's abnormal state during this period, her fingertips stopped moving.
Ao Xinyi rushed to send her abroad just to do this?
What are Bai Shuting and Bai Lincheng doing now? They have been conducting an internal investigation for more than a month, but now they are offering the Bai family as a sacrifice?
What are these people planning?
Bai Qingqing couldn't understand the train of thought of this group of people from a normal perspective. She guessed that their behavior was probably related to her.
There were still more than six hours before arrival. Bai Qingqing moved her fingertips slightly, turned off her phone in the dim light, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Whatever they were doing, it wouldn't get in the way of what she was going to do next.
It doesn’t matter what happens in the country.
…
The other side.
Jiang Muning boarded a plane to the United States. Not long after meeting the person who came to pick him up at the Jiang family, he set off again and flew to Finland.
Luocheng, a two-story white building with a courtyard next to Finland Lake.
It was night time. The dark blue sky tilted down to the earth layer by layer, shrouding the small white building. Pale yellow lights shone through the windows into the night. A broad-shouldered figure stood by the window, holding a cup of coffee, looking down quietly with his eyes lowered.
Jiang Muning stood in front of the fence gate in the front yard and saw a silver-gray car parked in the yard. The dripping water from the air conditioner in the car gathered into a puddle on the ground.
Not runny, but not dry either.
In today's weather, which is around ten degrees, its owner must have just parked the car less than an hour ago.
But no one answered the doorbell.
Did he go out again?
Jiang Muning waited for a while, then patiently pressed the doorbell again.
Bai Siming on the second floor looked back, then looked at the figure in front of the door downstairs, turned around, put the coffee on the workbench, turned around, picked up a coat and went downstairs.
“Second brother!”
The last time they met was two years ago. Jiang Muning didn't meet much with his second brother who had left home at the age of seventeen and had no idea where he was going. Bai Siming would only come home once every one or two years, and he didn't stay at home for long. He always came and left in a hurry, quietly.
But perhaps it was because they only saw each other once in a very long time, she actually liked this second brother very much. Her feelings towards him were different from her feelings towards all her other brothers, and the relationship between the brother and sister was very good.
When she was a child, she thought her second brother was a bad boy, so she ran away from home and traveled around the country instead of going to college.
The first time he went home was three years later because he was afraid that his parents would beat him to death.
The thirteen-year-old girl took her second brother's hand and mysteriously pulled him aside, who had just returned home and had not yet seen his parents, to comfort him, saying that he should not be afraid and that even if he became a bad boy, his parents still loved him very much and would often remind him of him at home and would never beat him.
She will protect her second brother.
She took the twenty-year-old Bai Siming to Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting. Ao Xinyi started crying when he saw him, and the first thing he did after reacting was to spank him hard.
Bai Siming said nothing and just stood there being beaten by Ao Xinyi.
The thirteen-year-old girl wanted to stop him, but before she could persuade him, Ao Xinyi hugged Bai Siming and cried.
Five years after Bai Siming's death, this became the most vivid image in her memory.
In the midnight dreams after Bai Siming's tragic death, she repeatedly pulled the 20-year-old Bai Siming back home, saying that she would protect her second brother.
But in the end...it was she who pushed her second brother into death.
This was the only thing she felt sorry for the Bai family.
Now the slender boy in her memory has grown into a cold face with stern eyebrows and bones, and a broad body. He walked towards her steadily with big strides, looked at her face through the white fence, and opened the gate.
"Second brother." Jiang Mu Ning called out again, hiding the sadness in his eyes and smiling, revealing the appearance that an eighteen-year-old Jiang Mu Ning should have.
"Mu Ning?" Bai Siming was slightly surprised: "How did you find this place?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you," Jiang Muning walked into the yard through the door he opened and looked at his small building with a smile.
"You haven't been home for two years. Mom said that you haven't been contacted for the past four months. She was worried to death at home. So I asked her for the address of your studio and secretly came to see you. Second brother, why don't you call mom when you are fine?"
"We just contacted each other the day before yesterday." Bai Siming put his hands in his pockets, stood in the yard, and quietly watched Jiang Muning jumping around and looking at his small building.
Jiang Muning turned his back to him, and the smile on his face tightened.
According to the original story, Bai Siming returned home before his last mission and actually met Bai Qingqing at home.
Now that so much has changed since the last time, how much does Bai Siming know about Bai Qingqing?
"That's great, second brother. Are you going home now?" Jiang Mu Ning said, turning around and running to him, lowering his voice: "Are you done this time?"
Bai Siming did not answer, his brows slightly frowned, and he lowered his eyes to look into Jiang Mu Ning's eyes: "Did mom tell you the address of the studio?"
Of course not…
Ao Xinyi had always kept Bai Siming's whereabouts a secret. After Bai Siming's death, Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting went to his studio to pack up his belongings. She had secretly followed them out of guilt and had been here twice in her previous life.
"Of course, otherwise how would I know." Jiang Muning raised his head and smiled at Bai Siming's inquiring eyes without dodging.
"I feel relieved to see that you're okay." She smiled as if she was relieved, and looked at Bai Siming's face carefully. Her slightly shrunken pupils seemed to relax because the person in front of her was okay.
She reached out and hugged Bai Siming's body: "It's good that you're okay."
sorry.
Bai Siming pressed Jiang Mu Ning's hands and glanced in the direction of the small white building: "Come in, it's cold outside, you are wearing too little, I'll pour you a cup of hot water."
"Okay!" Jiang Muning happily spread his legs and ran towards the small white building. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted in surprise, and his voice was heard far away by Bai Siming who was a few steps behind.
"Brother! Don't tell me you did all this!"
Bai Siming's studio is no different from an ordinary house, with an open kitchen, living room, sofa and TV on the first floor.
There were two shotguns hanging on the wall of the restaurant. There was no food on the table below, but it was filled with various half-finished handicrafts and a pile of mechanical parts. Wood shavings were scattered everywhere, and even the pot on the bar was filled with half-cooled rabbit glue.
Jiang Muning walked around the first floor, then stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked towards the second floor. He did not go up, but saw two beautiful fat rabbits behind the stairs.
She picked it up carefully and said happily, "Second brother! You also raise rabbits!"
Bai Siming walked a few steps behind her and asked, "Well, do you want to eat?"
Jiang Mu Ning: "...If there is no meat, let's go to the supermarket to buy some...If it is inconvenient for you to go out, I will go."
Bai Siming smiled, picked up the broom to sweep the shavings on the ground, and after simply tidying up the table, he made room for a small area next to the dining table and poured a cup of hot water for Jiang Mu Ning.
"It's easy to get along with people here. One more person will attract a lot of attention. When are you going back? I'll take you back."
Jiang Mu Ning sat at the table holding the rabbit. He didn't expect that after two years of not seeing each other, Bai Siming's attitude had become so cold.
He used to be a man of few words, but his eyes always showed his affection for her. Now his eyes were cold and he seemed unkind.
"I just got here, why are you chasing me away? I came all the way here just to see if you're okay! Why are you so anxious to chase me away!"
Jiang Mu Ning snorted, obviously unhappy, pointed at his kitchen and said loudly: "Look at what your kitchen has become, second brother, are you really cooking?"
Bai Siming frowned.
Jiang Mu Ning was obviously very angry, and his momentum weakened a bit: "I don't need you to urge me, nor do I need you to send me off. I will leave by myself, tomorrow! Anyway, my second brother, whom I haven't seen for two years, doesn't miss me..."
Bai Siming: "I'll book you a flight ticket for tomorrow morning."
Jiang Muning felt a little flustered by his cold response.
She came here just to hook up with Bai Siming to recall the good old days, to keep him company when he was alone, to give him some warm family affection, and to increase his favorability. How could her favorability increase when Bai Siming was always so lukewarm?
Not to mention that perverted Bai You, she has to suffer here with Bai Siming.
Jiang Mu Ning seemed even angrier. He turned his head away, not noticing at all that he was resting his head quietly on the curved handrail on the second floor. He lowered his eyes to look at Bai Siming in the living room, and tapped the handrail lightly with his fingertips resting his chin.
Jiang Mu Ning said angrily: "I am so redundant. Looking at the mess in your kitchen, I still want to cook for you."
She stood up suddenly in anger, and when she turned around, she saw Bai Siming standing in the living room, seven or eight steps away from her, with an aisle and a coffee table between them. The expression on his face became aggrieved.
She sighed as if she was disappointed, put aside all her arrogance, and said in a muffled voice: "I saw the supermarket when I came here. It's still early now. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables. Dinner should be delicious."
Before leaving, she said:
"Brother, I don't care if you need family or not, but...we all need you."
Bai Siming's eyebrows were slightly startled, and his expression was somewhat moved.
Suddenly, a faint sound of breath was heard from the top of the stairs, and laughter fell lightly.
Bai Siming's ears moved slightly, accurately catching the laughter, but his eyes did not move, and it was not noticeable in front of Jiang Mu Ning.
Jiang Muning's heart was beating nervously, and he didn't notice the movement on the stairs. He turned around and looked at Bai Siming with attachment, and said the last sentence lightly: "...I need you too."
"Second brother, you've worked hard. Thank you for coming back safely again."
[Okay, okay, let her continue to develop like this. In time, Jiang Mu Ning will definitely win three gold medals and beautifully take over Ao Xinyi's position.]
['I need you, too.'] Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes to the sky:
[Don't you need your good second brother? If it weren't for Bai Siming's identity as a drug enforcement officer, what would you use to exchange with the drug lord to successfully escape from Boss Jin with Ji Ke?]
[Now you actually dare to come to Bai Siming. 】
But why did she come to see Bai Siming for no reason...
Jiang Muning looked up at Bai Siming with a lonely look, and suddenly saw a black shadow move at the corner of the stairs.
It was very quiet outside the small building. It didn't seem like the light and shadows were refracted in from outside, but rather like there were living things in the house.
Such a big shadow...
Jiang Muning frowned: "Second brother, you still have a dog?"
Bai Qingqing frowned, leaned over the railing and asked, "Jiang Mu Ning, what is the dog barking about?"
"Bai Qingqing?!"
A head suddenly appeared in his sight, and Jiang Mu Ning was startled. When he realized that it was Bai Qingqing who was here, he widened his eyes and looked at Bai Siming and then at Bai Qingqing without being able to react.
Bai Siming: "Slow down, don't fall."
The tone is flat and the expression is calm.
Bai Siming already knew that Bai Qingqing was here?
no.
Jiang Muning quickly realized that he had gone in the wrong order and thought again: Bai Qingqing had been here early in the morning? Had they been in contact for a long time?
When did Bai Siming know about Bai Qingqing's existence?
Why does their relationship seem... so good?
A huge sense of absurdity, of a world that was absurd and broken, came over her. The two faces appeared in the same space, making Jiang Muning feel like she was dreaming.
But this was the place she had just arrived after flying for more than twenty hours over two consecutive days, and nothing could be more real than what her tired body could feel at this moment.
If she hadn't just seen that shadow, wouldn't it be...
In other words, Bai Qingqing had been in this house the whole time and heard their entire conversation?
Somehow, in the midst of the sudden shock at this moment, Jiang Mu Ning remembered the feeling of the cold, hard turquoise dagger against his neck.
In the half minute that she was stunned, Bai Qingqing had already run down the wooden stairs with small steps, "dong dong dong dong", and stood beside Bai Siming, looking at her calmly.
"Brother, the refrigerator is empty. If you go to the supermarket, buy more. I haven't had dinner yet and I'm very hungry."
Jiang Muning: ...
Jiang Mu Ning's eyes flickered. Even though his brain had reacted, his body seemed to have not yet reacted. He did not know how to move, and not a single sound came out of his throat.
Bai Qingqing's presence here meant that Bai Siming had no chance here.
No need to try anything more.
"You should have brought your card, right? Have you exchanged it for Euros in Finland? Jiang Mu Ning, I'm talking to you, are you listening?" Bai Qingqing waved her hand in front of her eyes, looking at her doomed expression and sneered in her heart.
Although I don’t know what’s over, it’s a good thing that she’s over, isn’t it?
"...I have the card." Jiang Muning heard his own answer, but his mind did not think at all and he did not listen to her.
At this moment, I only felt that the five senses were divided into separate systems.
In front of her eyes, a fat, tan rabbit jumped to Bai Qingqing's feet. Bai Qingqing bent down, stretched out her hands and held the rabbit in her arms.
She felt her body turn in a different direction, and watched herself open the door and walk out.
It was not until the cold wind outside blew and hot tears flowed from her eyes that her body completely regained consciousness. She quickly quickened her pace, walked out of the yard regardless of anything, and walked quickly in a random direction.
Why?
Why is Bai Qingqing always one step ahead of her?
Why did Bai Qingqing ruin her wonderful life like this? Everything was different from her previous life. Everything she had slipped away from her hands one by one. Why did she do that? !
The streets of Luocheng were dim and blue in the evening, with sparse street lights on and no one around.
Jiang Muning walked quickly on the road, gradually sobbing, and his heart was filled with panic that he would never be the same as before.
Inside the studio.
Bai Siming looked at the fat rabbit in Bai Qingqing's arms, paused for a moment, went to close the door that Jiang Mu Ning had left in a hurry, turned around and said, "I asked you if you wanted to eat dinner just now, and you said no."
"Let's get down to business first. What are we going to eat?"
Bai Qingqing's plane landed and she was taken to the manor by people arranged by Ao Xinyi. After putting her luggage away, she took out a bronze dagger and prepared to do her business first.
Without the Heavenly Dao on him, Jiang Mu Ning's location was much easier to find than before.
Who knew that upon checking, I found out that she was on a plane to Finland.
Jiang Muning was not idle at all either.
She had heard from Ao Xinyi before that the second son of the Bai family had his studio in Finland, so she came here ahead of time to wait for him.
Not only did he rub the rabbit for a while, but he also witnessed a great drama with both sound and emotion.
Bai Qingqing patted the rabbit's head in her arms, and ran two fingers along the rabbit's long ears to the tip of the ears, flicking them between her fingers.
Bai Siming looked at her hands and asked, "Do you want to eat now? There are two."
Bai Qingqing covered the rabbit's ears with her palm and turned around holding the fat rabbit: "Don't listen, it's a bad review."
A deep laugh came from behind.
Bai Qingqing ignored Bai Siming and sat on the sofa playing with her rabbit. She paused when she heard the laughter beside her.
"But...Qingqing, is what you just said true?"
"What is real?" Bai Qingqing wrapped her palms around the rabbit's head, spread out her ten fingers, and rotated her palms to "bloom" on the rabbit's head.
Bai Siming: "Jiang Mu Ning will reveal my identity to the drug lord."
"Huh?" Bai Qingqing paused, turned her head and looked at Bai Siming, her face full of astonishment.
"When did I say..."
"When Jiang Mu Ning said she needed me, you seemed to have used magic to tell me alone, just like... the secret sound transmission technique in martial arts TV shows?"
When Bai Siming heard Bai Qingqing's voice, he was stunned for a moment.
After completing his mission the day before, he returned to the studio and while waiting for arrangements from above, he learned about what had happened at home in the past few months.
Fortunately, all the information was available on the Internet, and it didn't take him much effort to find out what happened to this rumored sister after she returned home. He also watched the entire variety show "Heart Signal" and replayed Bai Qingqing's solo live broadcast from beginning to end. While understanding her personality, he also had unshakable faith in her ability as a master of metaphysics.
And with Bai Qingqing's sudden appearance in Jinzhou last time, Bai Siming believed that everyone had seriously underestimated Bai Qingqing's ability.
She is more powerful than anyone imagined.
He had just heard Bai Qingqing's voice, the sound quality of which was obviously different from the sound of a human voice in the air. However, Jiang Mu Ning, who was being sentimental at the time, did not react at all. It was obvious that he was the only one who heard it.
So, that was Qingqing's reminder to him.
Tell him not to believe Jiang Mu Ning's words.
So many things happened in the Bai and Jiang families, and Mu Ning seemed to have changed a lot. She also inexplicably found his studio alone, claiming that Ao Xinyi told her the location, but she didn't know that they had contacted each other the day before.
Bai Siming already had some doubts in his heart.
Now while she was away, Bai Siming asked Bai Qingqing for confirmation, but he didn't expect to see Bai Qingqing looking completely puzzled.
Bai Siming, who had received good metaphysical cognitive training and had opened up his worldview, thought about it and felt that he had a reliable guess.
He pursed his lips, turned his head and looked outside the yard to make sure there was no one around.
Bai Siming approached Bai Qingqing on the sofa, lowered his voice, and spoke cautiously:
"Qingqing, I seem to be able to hear your voice."
