The guards behind him were watching the leader's every move.
Seeing him staring at the stairs, I knew what I was going to do next.
"Thank you for your concern, Commander Ding. It's just a minor injury and you don't need to go to the hospital." Butler Wang nodded and bowed.
But his heart was full of doubts, as he clearly remembered that he saw the stairs clearly before taking a step.
But I still fell. It felt like an invisible leg tripped me. It was really weird.
However, as he had never seen any ghosts before, he did not think about it that way and just thought that his eyes were blurry.
Afterwards, Qi Beixiong took Colonel Ding to the restaurant.
The dining area is separate from the living room. When Colonel Ding passed by the living room, he noticed that there was nothing for girls in the living room, but there were quite a few daily necessities for boys.
After a while, the two arrived at the restaurant and saw more than a dozen delicious dishes on the jade dining table.
There are seafood and game, most of which are delicacies that are hard to find on the market.
The dishes are beautifully cooked, and you can tell at a glance that they were made by a master.
Seeing that the second young lady of the Bai family didn't even touch the spring water with her fingers, it was clear that these dishes could not have been made by her, but Colonel Ding did not expose her.
"Commander Ding, it's all homely, please take a seat!" Qi Beixiong took off his hat, and the butler took it and put it away.
"Mr. Qi, you are too polite. Didn't I tell you to make something casual? This meal costs more than my monthly salary. I don't even dare to pick up my chopsticks!" Colonel Ding said as he sat down.
Qi Beixiong explained with a smile: "Don't feel any psychological burden, Commander Ding. This is just an ordinary family dinner. When I entertain guests normally, sometimes the feast is even more sumptuous than this!" After saying that, he sat aside, while Bai Mengting accompanied him on the other side.
Colonel Ding just listened to this.
"Captain Ding, please ask your people to sit down and eat with us. This is a family dinner, there's no need to be so formal." Qi Beixiong said immediately when he saw the people brought by Commander Ding standing aside.
"No need, he can just stand there, or have your people take him to the kitchen to have a bite."
After listening to Colonel Ding's words, Qi Beixiong looked at his butler and said, "Why don't you take this little brother to the kitchen to eat? Remember to treat him well."
The butler bowed and said, "Sir, please follow me."
The guard glanced at the leader, and after receiving the leader's eye signal, he left.
"Come on, Commander Ding, I'll toast you." Qi Beixiong took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Colonel Ding.
"Don't be in a hurry. You just said it was a family dinner. I remember that Mr. Bai had three daughters. Why are there only two of you? Where are they?" Colonel Ding asked casually.
Qi Beixiong, who was pouring wine, paused, but soon returned to normal. He first filled the glass, then showed an uncomfortable look: "Officer Ding, you don't know, my sister-in-law rolled down the stairs four years ago, and she is still a vegetable. My brother-in-law was also hit by a car and became a fool. I couldn't keep an eye on him and he ran away. Now his life or death is unknown.
It's a pity that my eldest niece has no parents at such a young age. My wife and I can only take care of her as our own, hoping that one day her mother can wake up early and her father can return to normal and return to the Bai family."
He spoke sincerely and even shed a few tears.
Qin Han couldn't help but sneer. If he hadn't seen with his own eyes what kind of life his cousin's daughter lived, he would have been fooled by his acting skills.
I feel like his acting skills are better than those actors on TV.
If you can’t make it in the business world one day, you can become an actor.
Colonel Ding just listened to what he said.
During the meal, Qi Beixiong hinted that he wanted to cooperate with him, and the two formed a mutually beneficial relationship.
But Colonel Ding changed the subject and kept talking about things that had nothing to do with business.
The guard was in the kitchen, eating and chatting with the servants, and inadvertently brought the topic to the eldest daughter of the Bai family.
Except for one servant who spoke vaguely, everyone else said positive things, saying how well the second uncle took care of the eldest lady and her daughter.
But the guard could sense that the servant who spoke vaguely wanted to tell the truth, but couldn't say it out loud because of the crowd.
So after quickly finishing his meal, he made an excuse and asked the servant to take him to the bathroom.
Then the two of them walked to a deserted place, and the servant told the real story of the eldest lady and her daughter.
But the guard couldn't completely believe her words, after all, seeing is believing.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the maid told him to go to a room at the end of the second floor and see for himself.
The guard had wanted to go to the second floor for a long time, so when there was no one around, he sneaked up to the second floor.
However, there was a servant on the second floor guarding a room at the end, and just when he was thinking about how to lure the servant away.
Suddenly the maid had a stomachache and hurried to the toilet, fearing that if she was a little slower she would have diarrhea.
As for what the housekeeper had said, the room was locked and the people inside couldn't get out.
When the guard saw the man leave, he thought it was God's help, so he walked over quickly and looked at the closed door.
He reached out and tried to twist the door. He thought it was locked, but he managed to open it.
Seeing that the person had already entered, Qin Han's consciousness returned to his body.
Let the adults take care of what happens next. He should just be a good child. Worrying too much will only make him old.
Half an hour passed unknowingly. The housekeeper was still looking for the guard. He looked everywhere except upstairs.
So when he was about to go upstairs to look for him, he happened to see the guard coming down from upstairs.
Seeing the housekeeper, the guard showed an apologetic expression: "Sorry, there is someone in the bathroom downstairs, so I went upstairs."
Butler Wang smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's our fault for not hosting you well. Did you go to the bathroom? Do you want me to take you there?"
The guard shook his head repeatedly: "No need, I'm ready!" As he said that, he walked to the living room and then to the dining room.
After he left, the housekeeper hurried upstairs and found that the servant was not there, so he hurried to the innermost room and tried to open the door with his hand. He was relieved when he found that it could not be opened.
But think about it, how could Chief Ding come here to eat just for the eldest lady and her daughter?
If you really care about their situation, why wait until this day?
The second uncle is just too cautious and always thinks of the worst in everything.
When Colonel Ding saw the guard coming back, he knew that the matter was done, so he left the Bai family on the pretext that he had official business in the afternoon and could not stay long.
As for what Qi Beixiong said, he chose to pretend to be confused.
When Qi Beixiong saw that the man was about to leave, he quickly asked someone to deliver the best Dahongpao tea. He also put gold bars in the tea, wanting to give it to Commander Ding.
As a result, Chief Ding directly refused to accept it on the grounds that he was not used to drinking tea. The refusal was so obvious that it was clear that he did not want to be on the same page with him.
