Xing Haodong stepped on his newly bought leather shoes, said nothing, and returned the photo to Gu Mingfeng.
Then he picked up the wine glass and took a full gulp.
Gu Mingfeng held up the photo nervously and looked at Jiang Bin for help, "Brother Bin, what's happening to Brother Dong..."
Jiang Bin hissed and waved his hands at him: "Oh, nothing, nothing! Brother Dong is just thirsty, thirsty, hehe."
Wow, yesterday this girl was still calling Brother Dong her husband on the street, but today Brother Dong was sitting at the same dinner table with her girlfriend.
If something really develops from this, wouldn't Brother Dong become a cuckolded mistress?
And what did he do then? Not only did he make a joke, he also called her "sister-in-law"!
It's over. It's all over.
Jiang Bin covered his face silently and poured himself three glasses of wine in a row, punishing himself and apologizing... His brother Dong was right, this beautiful woman was a disaster and he should not get close to her.
Seeing how much they could drink, everyone present, whether they could drink or not, stood up and toasted them.
After three rounds of drinks, Gu Mingfeng's face was flushed and he was a little drunk.
He stood up shakily and raised his glass to Xing Haodong again: "Brother Dong, don't worry, I will find out who the tomb robbers are who left the city as soon as I get back! Don't worry about me doing it!"
Xing Haodong lowered his eyes and fiddled with his wine glass. "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. I hope you'll pay more attention to the people's livelihood in your hometown in the future. Although we have reform and opening up, some people still have a hard time."
"Yes, Brother Dong is right! I was narrow-minded before, but after Brother Dong's reminder today, I was really enlightened and suddenly saw the light..." Gu Mingfeng raised his neck and drank another glass.
This time, he couldn't stand steadily and fell on Gu Wei.
Jiang Bin glanced at Xing Haodong's expression and cleared his throat. "Mingfeng, is that girl really your girlfriend? She's so beautiful. You've been pursuing her for quite a while, right?"
Gu Mingfeng chuckled, "Mingxin and I fell in love at first sight. We both have the word 'Ming' in our names, so it was a match made in heaven. Chasing her? She never let me chase her, she's always been devoted to me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the bachelors present whistled enviously and slammed the tables.
Gu Wei also joined in the fun: "Oh my, you're so beautiful, you little brat! I heard that you're engaged to her. She's the daughter of Director Bai from your Licheng County Public Security Bureau?"
Gu Mingfeng glanced at him with drunken eyes and didn't quite hear him clearly. "What did you say? Engaged? Oh, yes, I am engaged. Director Bai is her father, and her name is..."
"You just said it was Mingxin! That's Bai Mingxin. Look, this name is perfect for you."
Gu Wei patted his back enviously, "When is the wedding date? We'll all go then and we'll definitely get you drunk!"
Gu Mingfeng smiled so much that the corners of his mouth stretched to his ears. Although he was a little out of his mind, his vanity was greatly satisfied and he felt extremely satiated.
Seeing that everyone was pretty drunk, Jiang Bin stood up and said hello to the young master from the Municipal Bureau: "Brother Dong has things to attend to, so we'll leave first. Please take care of them and make sure nothing happens."
"Okay, don't worry, I've brought a driver with me. Brother Dong, take care!"
Xing Haodong nodded silently and left with Jiang Bin.
Jiang Bin took out his mobile phone and called his comrades to come and drive the car. He turned around and saw Xing Haodong leaning against the car with a sullen face. He couldn't help but sigh.
"Because of Bai Mingxin, you think of that woman again?"
Xing Haodong's eyes were filled with coldness. "If she hadn't suddenly sent the squad leader a letter saying she wanted to break up, how could such a steady and cautious person like the squad leader make such a mistake during the exercise?"
"Alas, the instructor has told me countless times that the squad leader's death was an accident." Jiang Bin patted his shoulder solemnly. "I know you're upset, but it's been so long. We've been here and haven't found him. Let's just let it go."
"I just don't understand. If he couldn't stand loneliness, why did he date the class monitor in the first place?" Xing Haodong's face was filled with dark clouds. "He shouldn't have dated someone like that in the first place. My mom was right. The more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy she is."
Jiang Bin felt both helpless and amused. "Hey, brother, you've never been in a relationship before, so you don't know how complicated relationships are. If someone wants to break up, it doesn't necessarily mean they dislike the squad leader. They might have other reasons."
Xing Haodong's voice deepened: "Then I must find her and ask her for the truth."
"But she left Jiangjiatun a long time ago." Jiang Bin jumped up and put his arm around his shoulders. "If the squad leader knew that you've been thinking about this for three years, do you think he can rest easy down there?"
There was a trace of pain in Xing Haodong's eyes. He looked at the busy street and didn't say anything for a long time.
Jiang Bin suddenly yelled, "Hey, you don't have any feelings for Bai Mingxin, do you? If I have to choose, I think that Iron Nail girl is better...hiss, why are you kicking me again?"
Xing Haodong rolled his eyes at him and said, "You've talked too much today."
Three days later.
Gu Mingfeng drove his family car to Jiangjiatun again, but still found nothing.
The village chief's wife said she hadn't seen Jiang Dawei since he was arrested that day. "Maybe he went to live with a classmate. The Jiang family's house was so dirty after being robbed by tomb robbers, how could anyone live there?"
"Then where does her classmate live?"
"I don't know, it should be in the county. You can go look for it there."
In fact, Jiang Mingxin had already expected that someone would come to look for her, so after moving into the rental house, she called the village branch and told the village chief that she had found a part-time job in the county and was staying at a classmate's house. If anyone asked, she would just say this.
