Chapter 467: Old man, please be more serious.
Twilight enveloped the sky, and the clouds and mist on the horizon gradually gathered into dark clouds. Thin raindrops slanted down, and the rain became heavier.
When Li Jiu came out, most of her hair was wet in an instant and scattered on her chest. Her eyes were condensed, and her whole body was filled with an aura of hostility that meant she should not approach strangers.
Jingyi was originally waiting for them in the car. When he saw her coming out, he quickly came over to greet her with an umbrella. When he got closer, he was startled by the cold look in her eyes.
…husband, madam?”
He called out in a low voice and acted cautiously. For some reason, Li Jiu's aura now made him even more frightened than his father.
What's going on here?
Li Jiu glanced at him lightly and said in a cold tone: "Give me the car keys."
“…Huh? Oh, okay.”
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment. He was so shocked by her eyes that he lost the ability to think. He subconsciously took out the car keys and handed them to her.
However, the next second, someone took him away again.
is Qi Jingci.
His shoulders were also mostly wet, and he chased after him all the way. His hair was slightly messy, with water droplets still dripping from the ends of his hair.
Qi Jingci: "Where are you going? I'll accompany you."
Li Jiu glanced at him and got into the car without saying anything.
This is considered the default.
Jingyi felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was not quite right. He frowned and asked, "Master, this..."
What happened?
Did something go wrong at the wine party?
However, Qi Jingci had no time to answer his doubts now, so he only said: "You go back first."
Then he followed Li Jiu into the car, started the car, and the car body rushed out like an arrow from a string.
Not knowing what happened, Du Jingyi stood there with a dazed expression on his face, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
“Where do you want to go?”
The scenery outside the window quickly receded, and the rain hit the windshield, blurring the vision. The constantly shaking wipers were clearly reflected in Li Jiu's eyes.
She lowered her eyes and said, "I want to go to the beach."
…”
Qi Jingci was a bit dumbfounded: "Jiujiu, what should I do if I go to the beach in this weather and get swept away by the waves?"
His tone was a bit joking, but Li Jiu was not in any mood now, let alone joking.
In fact, Qi Jingci didn't expect to make her laugh, he just wanted to distract her attention.
But now it seems that it has no effect at all.
A dark color flashed across Qi Jingci's eyes, and he said softly: "How about... let's go home?"
When the word "home" was mentioned, Li Jiu's expression finally changed a little, and he gave a faint hum.
Home?
It turns out she still has a family.
Back at the apartment, Qi Jingci immediately went to the bathroom, took a dry towel and put it on Li Jiu's head, drying her hair gently.
He held Li Jiu's face, his eyes met hers, and he said gently: "Jiujiu, go change your clothes first, and then take a hot bath, otherwise you will get sick."
Li Jiu looked a little absent-minded, bowed his head and entered the bedroom.
The door was closed, and not long after, the sound of rushing water could be vaguely heard from inside.
Qi Jingci stood there without moving, staring at the bedroom and deep in thought. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the pressure around him suddenly dropped.
Before, he knew that Li Jiu was not Li Hong's daughter, so he didn't pay much attention to the Li family's affairs.
But now, Li Jiu has become Li Chen's daughter inexplicably. It seems that there are some things that he can't do without investigating.
Qi Jingci returned to the room, took off his mostly wet coat, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of his old house.
“Third brother?” Mr. Qi was very surprised that Qi Jingci called him at this time. “Did the reception go well tonight?”
Qi Sijin and the others were still on their way home. At this time, nothing about what happened tonight had been spread, so Mr. Qi naturally knew nothing. Qi Jingci walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the curtains, looked at the increasing rain outside, and said in a deep voice: "Something unexpected happened."
Mr. Qi heard that something was wrong in his tone and frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
Qi Jingci was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked: "Dad, back then, Mr. Li had a granddaughter who was buried in a sea of fire, right?"
“Oh, you mean Xiao Xi.”
Hearing what he mentioned, Mr. Qi also remembered it. He sighed softly: "What a pity. That girl was just one month old at that time. I took you to the full moon party. By the way, you even hugged her."
Qi Jingci was slightly startled. He didn't expect that his fate with Li Jiu could be traced back so far.
“Was it an accident or...”
“It was an accident. I don’t know the details. I just heard that Mr. Shen’s wife took Xiao Xi to go shopping, but she accidentally ran into a kidnapper.”
Qi Jingci frowned: "Kidnapper?"
"Well, they went to the Li family with a plan. Within a few minutes of kidnapping Wen Wen and Li Xi, the Li family had already received the news. Lao Li sealed the Imperial Capital completely and almost broke the world, but he still couldn't find them. Traces of mother and daughter.”
Mr. Qi adjusted his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, frowned and said, "Later, for some reason, Lao Li and the others failed to reach an agreement with the kidnappers. By the time the police located them, the kidnappers had already broken up."
He let out a long sigh: "There are no bones left of mother and daughter. Mr. Shen went crazy on the spot."
He was also at the scene at the time. Li Chen was in such a state that he wished he could just follow his wife and daughter.
Had they not desperately pulled him, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Hearing the words "no bones left," Qi Jingci unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone and asked in a deep voice, "Have the kidnappers been found in the end?"
“No, this is also a strange place. That group of people seemed to have disappeared from the world, without any clues.”
Qi Jingci narrowed his eyes, saying that as long as he found the group of kidnappers, he might be able to know the truth.
"Lao San, why are you suddenly asking about this old thing?" Mr. Qi asked doubtfully.
Qi Jing paused and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Have Si Jin and the others gone back?"
“No, what’s wrong?”
Qi Jingci: "You can ask them after they go back."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Mr. Qi: “…”
This brat!
Make it clear that you are trying to seduce him!
Qi Jingci rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, then dialed another person's number.
“Hello? Who are you at this late hour?”
At the Superpower Association, Zhong Qing yawned drowsily, looking at his phone with sleepy eyes and an impatient face.
After seeing clearly who the caller was, he raised his eyebrows and suddenly became energetic. He said in a rather surprised tone: "Oh? Did I read it correctly? Isn't this my junior brother who has never seen the beginning and end of the Shenlong? It's so late at night. Call me, do you miss me?"
…”
Qi Jingci gritted his teeth, "Old man, please be more serious."
Zhong Qing leaned lazily on the head of the bed, tilting his head. His pajamas were worn diagonally on his body. The neckline was wide open, and the smooth lines of his waist were faintly visible.
He supported his chin with one hand and bent one leg. His expression was leisurely and casual, and his handsome features showed a dandy air.
Coupled with his face full of collagen, he looks nothing like an old man.
Hearing this, Zhong Qing complained lazily: "Who are you talking about, old man? I am young and in my prime now, and I have a lot of energy."
Qi Jingci sneered, "In that case, how about helping me investigate something?"
I almost forgot the name of the president, sin, sin, but... Originally the president was set to be an old man, but the more I wrote, the more wrong I became. As a result, now, I started to **** after his body...
