Chapter 69 She wants to tell the father of the child
Thinking that there was a child in her belly, she couldn't starve herself. Even though she had no appetite and didn't feel like eating, she still snatched the lotus seed porridge from Bai Yicheng's hands and drank it in big gulps. Because she drank too hastily, she was choked by the porridge liquid going down her throat and coughed repeatedly.
"Doesn't Ling Han usually feed you? Why do you look like you haven't seen food in hundreds of years...?" Looking at her with a reddened face and puffed up cheeks, her small face turned red just like a hungry rabbit's eyes, the cute appearance made one want to laugh, but it also gave off a subtle feeling of heartache. Subconsciously wanting to comfort her.
Bai Yicheng slightly bent down beside her, stretching out his palm to gently stroke her back.
As he drew closer to her, Leng Creek felt a sense of unease, especially when he touched her, making her feel even more uncomfortable, reminding her of the scene in the hotel where she was completely exposed in front of him, and he had even kissed her.
A flush of shame suddenly climbed up her small face, the pale pink complexion was suddenly covered with a layer of crimson, and her body also stiffened, subconsciously shrinking back.
Feeling her rejection, Bai Yicheng's smile on his face paused for a moment, and then he recovered that gentle smile, pampering her by stroking her head, "Eat quickly, aren't you curious about the outcome of Ling Han's case? After eating, you'll know the answer." Bai Yicheng stood up and kept a distance from her, with a sour ache in his heart.
He never thought that Xi Er would be so repelled by him, even to the point of being on guard against him. The girl in his heart, the elf-like girl who would shine brightly and smile radiantly in front of him, now felt fear towards him.
This is not the result he wanted, but a heart-wrenching one. Deep down, he didn't want Xi'er to drift further away from him. Perhaps it's better for her to see things clearly, at least so she wouldn't misunderstand him and be more afraid of him than strangers.
Actually, Leng Xi didn't intentionally want to alienate him, it's just that the barrier in her heart couldn't be crossed for a while. Seeing Bai Li Cheng's eyebrows slightly tinged with sorrow but still smiling at her, she also felt uneasy. It seemed like her reaction was a bit excessive.
But some things are clear in one's heart, yet it's inconvenient to break them, so let it be separated by a layer of gauze, perhaps the awkwardness will be reduced a bit.
Leng Xi lowered his head and was also anxious to know the truth from Bai Li Cheng's mouth. He quickly and steadily ate it up, and now he felt much better, without being in such a hurry that he choked himself.
Bai Yicheng took her to the secret base office of the police station. This is a place where ordinary people are not allowed to enter, but for Xi'er, Bai Yicheng still brought her in.
"Ah, Old White..." Originally standing guard and working beside the computer, Xiao Lin saw Bai Yicheng enter and immediately stood up to greet him. However, upon seeing Leng Xi behind Bai Yicheng, he became somewhat flustered and embarrassed.
"Uh, Kobayashi, show her that video we recorded the other day..." Bai Yicheng ordered calmly.
"But boss, this is a confidential document..." Little Lin's face was awkward, his words trailed off, implying that outsiders shouldn't casually enter or look at it.
"I know, with me taking the blame for you, I'll bear all the consequences..." Bai Yicheng said with a slight frown, his tone slightly displeased, but his words were without any hesitation, this small matter he didn't even put in his eyes.
Leng Xi raised her eyes slightly and saw Bai Yi Cheng frowning, feeling that she had put him in a difficult position, and felt a bit embarrassed. She thought about retreating, but thinking of Ling Han, thinking that she was about to find out what was going on, she steeled herself and stayed.
Kobayashi had no choice, but since his superior said so, he didn't have any reason to refuse, and opened the computer screen as instructed.
This is a surveillance video, in the sauna with steam rising from the bathtub, two men are soaking in the bathtub, revealing their robust arms and handsome faces.
As soon as the screen appeared, the familiar face immediately raised Leng Xi's nerves. She stared at the person on the computer screen with wide eyes.
Ling Han is Ling Han
The excitement is evident in his words and expressions, his eyes can't help but feel a little sour, as long as he sees him, that familiarity and dependence rise in his heart, there's a kind of lingering nostalgia and sweet pain.
Standing beside her, Bai Yicheng saw Lu Jing's reaction clearly, as well as the nostalgia that flowed out from the crystal-like bottom of her eyes. It was like salt water, dripping drop by drop into his wounded heart, causing a dull ache. He lowered his eyelids, and there was darkness at the bottom of his eyes.
Another man sitting opposite Ling Han in the sauna was Murong Xiaozi. Both of their expressions were arrogant and domineering, with Ling Han having an additional hint of laziness and casualness, while Murong Xiaozi was serious and cold.
The man on the screen spoke up, and it was Murong Shaozhe who first opened his mouth. "You and I are facing each other, honest enough, true or false you can also hear with one ear, this is your territory, but I believe I won't die..." Murong Shaozhe still had that arrogant confidence to the point of being cold-blooded.
Ling Han's lips curled up in a faint smile. "You won't die because only dogs that bite have the value of loyalty..."
Murong Xiaozi's face visibly darkened and tensed up, but he still maintained his calm composure. "Ling Han, being overly confident is the same as being arrogant. Who is loyal to whom is not necessarily certain..."
"Ling Han sneered, 'You think just your snipers can defeat me? Under the siege of swords and guns, I'm still standing alive in front of you. How disappointing for you.'"
Leng Xi was shocked upon hearing this. Was Ling Han referring to the shooting incident at the Japanese restaurant last time?
Did Ling Han know it was done by Murong Xiaozi all along?
At the moment when Leng Creek was distracted, Ling Han and Murong Xiao had already clashed, their faces cold and serious as they dueled, the sharp sword tips flashing out from their eyes.
But Leng Han noticed that on his left arm, there was a bandage wrapped around it, and due to excessive force, bright red blood seeped out from the gunshot wound he had previously suffered.
Her heart suddenly ached, her eyes grew hot and Leng Xi immediately covered her mouth, not allowing herself to cry out loud.
She remembered that last time Ling Han came back in the middle of the night, she saw the scratch marks on his chest and the torn wounds on his arm, and she thought he had gone to look for a woman.
But she didn't think that it was because of Murong Xiao's gift to her that he was still so disobedient and pinched his wound, making him hurt... As soon as she thought of this, Leng Xi regretted and felt heartache, only wanting to shed tears.
It turns out that Ling Han isn't someone who doesn't care about anything, he actually has everything under control, it's just that he doesn't make a big deal out of solving things...
Wait, it's not that Aunt Cao wanted to kill Ling Han, so everything Aunt Cao said was a lie just to get her back by Bai Yicheng's side.
She was too anxious and worried about Ling Han at the time, her mind was preoccupied with not wanting anything to happen to him, she was so anxious that she didn't have a clear head to analyze things and would do something irrational.
She unintentionally hurt Ling Han, it was her fault... with a heartache that felt particularly unbearable, Leng Xi covered her mouth, tears streaming out.
She wants to find Ling Han and tell him that she didn't do anything wrong to him, tell him that she has his child, a baby, and he is going to be a father.
Excitement was about to burst out of Qingxi's heart, stimulating her nerves. In her mind, there was only one voice echoing - she had to see the father of her child. Even if he didn't want to see her, she still had to see him. She knew she was wrong, and she really knew she was wrong...
Impulsive as she was, she really didn't care about anything else, biting her lip and holding back tears, turning around and running out.
"Ah, what's wrong with you?" Leng Xi rushed out excitedly and collided with someone who was about to enter. The other person complained, but she didn't have the time or mental space to apologize, covering her mouth as she ran straight out.
"brook"
"Stop right there!"
Bai Yicheng was just about to chase out when he was sternly stopped by the person who had just come in and whom Leng Xi had bumped into earlier.
With a closer look, Bai Yicheng had a bad feeling, but he remained calm and said faintly, "Director Zhang, are you looking for me?"
Director Zhang glared at Bai Yicheng with a cold gaze and said sternly, "You're fired. Come to my office to sort out your resignation report." After finishing speaking, he snorted in anger and turned around to leave, as if daring Bai Yicheng not to come.
Bai Yicheng was confused and furrowed his brow, but still followed him to the director's office.
"What's going on..." Bai Yicheng didn't show any humility as a subordinate at all, standing in front of the director with an air of superiority.
He didn't do anything wrong, the director has no right to fire him.
"What's going on you don't even know yourself, look at the trouble you've gotten into with Xu Lang's case. You don't have to worry about it anymore, I've already closed the case. Afraid of punishment and framing others will leave a stench for a thousand years. And from today on, you don't have to come to the police station again, not for the rest of your life as a policeman." Director Zhang waved his hand, feeling extremely disappointed.
Bai Yicheng was furious, "What qualifications do you have in this life?"
"Just because I demoted your military rank, you secretly brought people to the secret place and exposed the secrets to outsiders. This is not considered a serious mistake, this punishment is still light." Director Zhang's finger pointed heavily in the air, taking out the director's severe intimidation.
Bai Yicheng gritted his teeth, wanting to punch the director in the face, but restrained himself. He was clear in his mind, "It's Ling Han, he made you do this." Who else could he offend? Wasn't it just Ling Han? These days, he worked hard, adding glory to the police station.
The director was unreasonable to fire him. Moreover, he had just led people into the secret base, and his punishment order came down. This is too hasty, I'm afraid it was already prepared, and they took advantage of this opportunity to make an example out of him.
Director Zhang's face turned iron-green as he glanced at Bai Yicheng, let out a cold snort, and didn't say anything else. "In short, you don't have to come to work anymore, pack up your things and leave." He waved his hand, with a belly full of not wanting to see him again.
Bai Yicheng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "You're really ruthless, Ling Han!"
On the other hand, in the office of the president of Lingyun Group, Ling Han sat with a cold and ruthless face, his expression was calm and carefree, as if nothing mattered to him. However, at the bottom of his narrow eyes, there was a chill that could freeze people's souls.
"Chairman Ling, this is not our fault. Our Tongshi Group's inventory has been stockpiled and the warehouse is already full to bursting. However, these products do not have a brand name and have not passed quality inspection, so we cannot sell them. We have invested billions of dollars in costs and cannot just lose it all like this. Chairman Ling, we are really at our wit's end... can you please help us out..."
A youthful face full of worry stands beside Ling Han, his words all pleas.
Wish everyone a happy National Day, white teeth shining towards the sun with a smile always on their face.
