Back at the club, Rosé went directly to the bar and ordered a drink.
The flowing light and shadow on the dance floor, driven by Qin Xiaohuan's sweet singing, are like ripples on the water, touching people's hearts.
Because of the incident between Xu Huanyan and Fan Li, Luo Sai was uneasy. He took a sip of wine, listened to the music, looked at the laughing faces of the men and women, and temporarily forgot his worries. His eyes swept through the crowd and inadvertently saw Da Feng sitting in the shadows by the wall.
Leaning on the sofa, Dafeng was staring at Qin Xiaohuan attentively, his deep eyes full of tenderness. Whenever he is free, he will come to the Jasmine Club to watch Qin Xiaohuan's performance. It can be said that he is Qin Xiaohuan's most loyal audience. In his eyes, Qin Xiaohuan, who was dressed up beautifully, was like a fairy descending to earth, and he never got tired of it.
Unfortunately, because of his dull personality, he is often at a loss especially when dealing with girls, so to this day, he has not said a word to Qin Xiaohuan. Sometimes, he would bring a bouquet of flowers and wanted to give it to Qin Xiaohuan, but in the end he was always too shy to express it, so he had to leave the flowers on the sofa and leave. Perhaps for him, being able to sit down and watch Qin Xiaohuan peacefully and listen to music makes him feel extremely comfortable and satisfied.
Luo Sai noticed that Da Feng often came to the club to listen to Qin Xiaohuan's singing, and he could guess the emotions hidden in the melody. He couldn't help but smile, picked up the wine glass, and wanted to go over and tease Da Feng, but he was stopped by Yue Xin.
"You're back? How are things going? Is it going well?" Yue Xin came over and asked.
Luo Sai put on a troubled expression, curled his lips, frowned, and said , " You are right, Xu Huanyan and Fan Li are really a match made in heaven. The combined IQ of the two people is more than I still have a lot of hair. No evidence has been found. If they really did it, they must have made a confession long ago. They were very careful about what they said, but it seems that Fan Li didn’t want us to get involved. "
Yue Xin consoled , " Even if they really did it, what can you do to them? In my opinion, Brother Li is cautious and considerate. I haven't seen him kill anyone in so many years. Maybe we have misunderstood him." . Wait and see, maybe Zhao Yingtong will catch the murderer in a few days."
As she was talking, she suddenly remembered something and grabbed Luo Sai's arm, "Oh, I forgot to mention the key thing! Just now Qi Xuan came to see you, and I told him that you hadn't come back yet, so he left."
"When?" Rossay asked hurriedly.
"Just now, I thought you didn't come back, so -"
Before Yue Xin finished speaking, Luo Sai hurriedly put down his wine glass and went straight to the door.
Under the shadow of the neon lights, a familiar figure was standing at the foot of the steps, talking to two girls.
It turned out that Qi Xuan came to see Luo Sai after get off work. After entering the door, he met Yue Xin. Hearing that Luo Sai had not returned, he prepared to go home. I happened to meet Qian Yuqiao's daughter Qian Yunqiao at the door, and the two started chatting.
"Let me introduce you," Qian Yunqiao said softly , " This girl is my friend, Xiaotong. She has never been here before, so she asked me to bring her here to play for a while. This is Qi Xuan, I have met him once before."
Qi Xuan greeted Xiaotong and then said to Qian Yunqiao , " I was thinking about visiting Mr. Qian's house when I have time. I wonder how Mr. Qian's creation is progressing?"
Speaking of her father, Qian Yunqiao smiled helplessly, "I may disappoint you. My father has not been in good health recently and has a headache again. I asked him to go to Lingshan Temple to recuperate for a while. But don't worry, since he promised you, he will definitely complete it seriously, it just takes more time, I hope you understand."
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. What's more important is to take good care of my health. I will definitely visit him when I have time."
They chatted and laughed for a few more words. Seeing that the two ladies were walking home, Qi Xuan was ready to see them off. At this moment, he turned around and saw a figure coming quickly and put his arm heavily around his shoulders. Taking a closer look, it was Rossai.
"We are really destined. Just now Yue Xin said you were leaving, so I immediately came out to take a look. I really did meet you."
Rossay was talking to Qi Xuan, but his eyes were looking at the two girls.
A beautiful woman with short hair, wearing a fashionable shirt and trousers, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, looks like a beautiful woman in an ancient painting. She is Qian Yunqiao. One person has pigtails and a yellow dress. She is slightly chubby and has a pair of big dimples on her face when she smiles. It is Xiaotong. The two of them looked at Luo Sai, wondering who he was, and waited for Qi Xuan to introduce him.
After everyone got to know each other, Luo Sai finally put down his arm on Qi Xuan's shoulders, patted Qi Xuan's back gently, and smiled at the two ladies , " Sorry, Qi Xuan and I still have something to do." Let’s talk, you two go back first.”
"Otherwise, I'll come back tomorrow and I promise to take them home."
"Just ask Xiaotian to send them off." Luo Sai gave Qi Xuan an idea.
Qi Xuan looked at Luo Sai and couldn't help but smile. He turned around and said a few words to Xiaotian, then invited the two ladies to get in the car.
After the car drove away, Luo Sai pulled Qi Xuan into the club.
In a corner of the restaurant, Roselle pulled up a chair for Qi Xuan to sit down, while he went to the kitchen to order a few dishes. After a while, the chef personally brought out the food and delivered it to their table. Qi Xuan didn't eat dinner, but Luo Sai had a good meal at Fan Li's house. When they saw the steaming food on the table, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Qi Xuan raised his chopsticks and picked up a piece of scrambled eggs and brought it to his mouth. He was eating when he suddenly stopped. He took a closer look at the sweet and sour pork slices, scrambled eggs, and fried tofu with green peppers on the table. They turned out to be some of his favorite dishes.
He raised his eyes and looked at Luo Sai, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile in his eyes , " I guessed that you must have investigated me, but I didn't expect that you would also investigate what I like to eat."
"How can we call it an investigation? This is called caring. Last time I was at your house, Yuan'er and I chatted and said that you were picky about food, so I asked you what you usually like to eat. Yuan'er told me everything Mine. You like soup, right? It’s too troublesome to cook, so I didn’t ask the chef to make it. I’ll let you try the soup made by Jasmine Club next time, I guarantee you will have endless aftertaste.”
They chatted while eating, and Luo Sai told them about today's visit to Xu Huanyan and Fan Li. Qi Xuan also told about his letter to Zhao Yingtong.
"I thought you would be worried about your relationship with Fan Li and not want to go to the police station to explain the facts, so I wrote a letter first. Unexpectedly, you went there in person."
In fact, in Qi Xuan's view, it was no accident that Luo Sai was able to stand on the side of justice and report Fan Li. Some people have a shadow of justice in their bones, and no matter how much they are oppressed, they will never be complicit in evil. Luo Sai immersed himself in the dye vat, and it was not easy to get out of the mud without being dyed. If it were him, Qi Xuan, he might not be able to do better than Luo Sai.
Luo Sai was also very distressed and extremely entangled. He said to Qi Xuan , " I hope our guess is wrong. After all, Fan Li is my brother who has known me for many years. I don't want him to embark on a road of no return."
While the two were talking, Luo Sai looked into the distance and seemed to remember something, "I always feel like I've seen that Qian Yunqiao just now somewhere."
"What, do you want to say that you have met in a dream?" Qi Xuan said with a smirk , " Look, you have been staring at her just now. Don't think I didn't notice. If you like her, I can do it for you. " You make the connection.”
Rosé glared at him, wanted to laugh but held back, and kicked him hard under the table. Qi Xuan realized that he was kicked and it still hurt, so he quickly retracted his legs under the chair.
"I want to help you connect, and you still kick me? Do you have any conscience?" Qi Xuan said.
"You should worry about yourself. I have high standards, and not just anyone can catch my eye."
"Then what kind of person can catch your eye?" Qi Xuan asked curiously.
Luo Sai pushed the bowl and chopsticks aside, looked at Qi Xuan pretending to be serious, then leaned over and whispered , " You can do it."
After saying that, he couldn't hold back himself, and a smile suddenly appeared on his tense face. In fact, he just wanted to tease the handsome man sitting opposite, but when he said the words, he regretted it. He felt his body burning like a fever, and his neck and face must have turned red.
Qi Xuan frowned in disgust, leaned back in his chair, tapped his fingers on the dining table, and stared at Luo Sai thoughtfully for a while.
Roselle raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds before both couldn't help but laugh.
They left the restaurant, wandered around the dance floor, and met Qin Xiaohuan who had already got off work.
Seeing Luo Sai, Qin Xiaohuan naturally couldn't let him go, and came up to him with a smile and asked him to dance. Before Luo Sai could react, she took Luo Sai's arm and pulled him onto the dance floor.
"Hey! Luo Sai!" Qi Xuan shouted.
He saw Luo Sai and Qin Xiaohuan embracing each other and dancing on the dance floor, swinging to the lyrical and melodious music. Luo Sai left him alone, leaving Qi Xuan at a loss. He looked around, not knowing where to go, so he walked to the gate, faced the night wind, leaned against the pillar, and waited for Lian Xiaotian to come back to pick him up.
On the steps not far from him, there was a man sitting, wearing a round hat, jacket and leather boots, smoking a cigarette alone.
Qi Xuan took a look and remembered that this person was Fan Li's assistant Dafeng. Unexpectedly, he would meet him here. Qi Xuan smiled to himself, thinking that he and Mao Ying really had an inescapable fate.
Time passed by, and even Xiaotian didn't come. Dafeng was still smoking cigarettes, one after another. Dafeng thought about Qin Xiaohuan, and her soulful singing seemed to still linger in his ears. He didn't have the courage to ask the girl he liked to dance. If he saw Qin Xiaohuan raising her eyes and staring at Luo Sai, his heart would be broken, and the air would be full of sorrow.
Qi Xuan thought about Luo Sai, the man who suddenly broke into his life. It was like a dull punch hitting him hard in the chest. The originally peaceful life gradually set off ripples, one after another. He felt as if he couldn't live without this person. He would think of him consciously or unconsciously, and even his eyes would stay on him for a few more minutes. Qi Xuan knew that he had regarded Luo Sai as a very important friend, so important that even he was surprised, and he couldn't help but ask himself why he cared so much.
The colorful light and shadow cast by the neon lights reflected the figures of two lonely men, Qi Xuan and Dafeng. They were silent, but they felt more powerful than the loud and noisy people walking by. Red light flowed, green shadows floated around, the men and women at the door came and went, but no one noticed these two lonely souls.Qi Xuan raised his collar, crossed his arms across his chest, and looked at the neon lights that were also flashing on the opposite street.After a while, a car parked on the opposite side of the street turned on its headlights, and the driver turned a corner and turned the car in front of the club. The two young men got out of the car and walked toward Gale. At this time, two more people came around from the side of the club and came behind Dafeng.Gale stood up alertly and put out the cigarette between his fingers. He quickly looked at the four people surrounding him, all of them were sturdy young men."Brother Dafen
Maoying's work efficiency is unquestionable, and he quickly launched a series of follow-up investigations on Liu Jingyun.Xiao Hei, who was in charge of the investigation, found that Liu Jingyun was very popular among the neighbors. He would go to the market on time every day to buy vegetables and keep his home in order. She is not particularly good-looking, but she is very good at dressing up and often hangs out in clothing stores. The only thing that is questionable is that she often goes to dance at the Petit Paris Ballroom, once every three days.Therefore, he focused his investigation on the Little Paris Ballroom. According to Xiao Hei's judgment, among the men who had contact with Liu Jingyun, her lover must be among them. Feng Shaowen, the owner of the Little Paris Ballroom, is the most suspicious. Every time she arrived at the ballroom, Liu Jingyun would dance for a while and then run to the lounge on the second floor, and it would take a long time for her
Da Feng had several men who could fight with great skills, and soon Mao Ying gained the upper hand. Seeing this, Feng Shaowen's legs became weak, and the hand holding the gun began to tremble. This time he came with only his personal bodyguards, but he didn't expect that Mao Ying would secretly arrange to trap him in a cage.Soon, his brother was subdued. At this time, Dafeng said calmly , " I'll put down the gun first. You take your people and go back and forth wherever you go. Since Liu Jingyun has found Mao Ying, her business is my business. I, Dafeng, will protect her for even one day." It doesn’t matter if it’s two days, I won’t let you hurt her.”"Would I hurt her? I love her! I'm worried about her! She's the one who's sorry for my feelings!"When Feng Shaowen got excited, he pulled the trigger without thinking, and the bullet went straight into the strong wind.Fortunately, Dafeng was alert and evaded in time, so he was not injured by the flying
Feng Shaowen has too many tricks, and the torture techniques are not high-level, just like children's tricks, but it is true that he can make his life loveless by inviting blood. When he was tired of swinging the whip, he threw the whip on the table, opened the door and left. Dafeng and Qi Xuan were left breathing heavily, enduring physical and mental trauma.Dafeng turned to Qi Xuan and said , " You've never been injured before, right?"Qi Xuan reluctantly shook his head and squeezed out a smile."Actually, our bodies are stronger than we think, and our will cannot fail. If you hold on, I believe reinforcements will arrive soon." Gale encouraged.In fact, he himself was not having a good time, but he couldn't bear to see the innocent Qi Xuan being tortured like this. If Qi Xuan really had an accident and lost his life, he would never be able to repay this debt in his lifetime. He just hoped that Maoying's people would come to rescue him quickly. With
Xiaotong blinked, revealing her big dimples again, and said with a smile , " I know there is a place, you must have never looked for it.""Where is it? Sister Xiaotong, you must help us." Yue Xin walked up to Xiaotong excitedly, her eyes full of sincerity.This place is the basement of the Little Paris Ballroom. Xiaotong often plays in the dance hall and knows a lot about the people and things there. In addition, she is Feng Shaowen's cousin, so no one is suspicious of where she goes or what she does. By chance, she saw Feng Shaowen's men quietly opening the secret door and entering the basement. Only then did she know that there was such a place under the dance hall.There is no point in talking. The conditions of Dafeng and Qi Xuan are unknown and they must act immediately. So everyone discussed a plan and asked Zhao Yingtong to find Feng Shaowen to divert their attention. Several of Maoying's brothers were squatting at the front and back doors, waiting fo
She stopped, turned around and looked at the angry Feng Shaowen standing on the stairs, and summoned up the courage to shout , " Feng Shaowen, before the flowers and under the moon, I will always remember your kindness to me. I am older than you, but you don't You hate me and blame me. It's my own fault that I took the wrong path. As long as you promise to let go of Chen Lixiang and my children. , let them return to Jiangcheng to live a stable life, and I can die in front of you today to relieve your hatred! Just shoot me!"Unable to tell, this Liu Jingyun is also a fierce woman. Yue Xin ran over and grabbed her arm, persuading her , " Sister, he is a madman. Are you crazy too? What will happen to your little baby if you die?" Come with me!"Feng Shaowen was completely irritated. When he saw that Liu Jingyun would rather die than be with him, he felt angry. He pulled out his pistol and pointed the gun at Liu Jingyun.At this time, Zhao Yingtong, who was chas
Seeing Qi Xuan's pale face and the blood stains on his shirt, Zhao Yingtong couldn't help but be moved , " Master Qi, you have suffered a series of accidents. You are really ill-fated. Do you have to tell me what happened this time?"Qi Xuan didn't sleep all night. Feng Shaowen poured cold water on him from time to time, which made his heart feel cold. The whip wounds on his body made him miserable. Just now, he had used all his strength to race to save Luo Sai, but now his body was exhausted and his spirit was listless. But he still stood up, and in a weak voice, told a series of facts such as helping Da Feng in front of the Jasmine Club, and then being taken to the basement of the Little Paris Ballroom.Yue Xin and others who had taken refuge in the tailor shop also rushed over. When Liu Jingyun heard the news of Feng Shaowen's escape, her mood that had just eased fluctuated again. She introduced the situation at home to Zhao Yingtong and begged him to arrest Fe
Before Luo Sai could speak, Qi Xuan interjected , " Auntie, don't say that. It's not his fault. He didn't do anything wrong.""Don't say nice things for him. You have been soft-hearted since you were a child. Look at what you are like now. The suffering you have suffered in the past thirty years combined is not even one-tenth of what it is now. You are the only child in our Qi family. If something goes wrong, will your father and I still survive?" Qi Mei's anger was still lingering, and she turned to look at Roselle with a solemn expression , " Who is that Da Feng?"When Qi Mei said this, Luo Sai felt both aggrieved and self-blame. The mixed emotions that had accumulated in his heart during this period surged out. He could not control his emotions and his eyes were red , " I'm sorry, I didn't protect Qi Xuan, let him-" —”Before he finished speaking, Qi Xuan couldn't listen anymore. He pressed the wound excitedly, looked at Luo Sai affectionately and said ,
