Chapter 19: Human Affection
I haven't seen her for many days, but I didn't expect Hei Mei to appear in this way, Jiang Qing's heart was cold. Although she has not yet arrived at the place of the incident, she knows very well that Hei Mei's methods will be a killer move once she makes a move.
By the time she and Ji Chen got there, Hei Mei had long since disappeared. There was nothing left at the scene, and there were only two men who had lost their breath.
Jiang Qing was about to step forward to check the wounds of the deceased, when suddenly, the entrance was surrounded by a group of policemen. The policeman's shouts rang out: "Don't move! Stand by the wall with your head in your hands!"
Seeing this, Jiang Qing frowned deeply, how could the police come so quickly? Her mind spun quickly, and she thought of a possibility, and her pretty face was frosty.
"What a black rose, it turns out that I have dug a pit and waited for me to jump!" Jiang Qing hated itchy, but she was not afraid, she didn't kill anyone, she didn't do it, she sat upright.
Not only Jiang Qing, but even Ji Chen was taken away by the police. This made Ji Chen very depressed, now he is only a second ha at best, as for escorting him to the police station?
When she arrived at the police station, Jiang Qing did not hide anything and cooperated very much with the police interrogation. Ji Chen was not worried that something would happen to him and Jiang Qing, the reason was very simple, first, they didn't kill anyone, and second, someone would fish them out soon.
As Ji Chen expected, a lawyer claiming to be sent by the Ji family came to negotiate with the police, and in less than half an hour, Ji Chen and Jiang Qing walked out of the gate of the police station.
At this moment, a black sedan slowly drove from a distance. From a distance, Jiang Qing recognized the person sitting in the driver's seat.
It was the person who drove for Ji's mother before, if she remembered correctly, this old man was the housekeeper of the Ji family.
Jiang Qing learned from Ji Chen that the housekeeper's name was Ji San, and when he saw the old housekeeper, he would cordially call the third grandfather. Ji San has followed the Ji family for many years, working hard and complaining. It is said that since Ji Chen was born, Ji San has been in the Ji family, and he has been diligent and diligent for decades, and he is a responsible person.
Ji Chen's words made Jiang Qing feel strange, Ji Chen had told her about the bitter struggle in the past, how could he hear him say this now, the Ji family can afford to use servants, not to mention how solid the family is, but it won't be too bad, right?
Who knew that her words were like stepping on Ji Chen's tail, and Ji Chen became angry all of a sudden, "Do you think I'm stupid, I don't know how to spend the money in the family?" It's really my parents who are ruthless enough, they said that they went to the sea to do business and started from scratch, although I am their only son, but I also have to experience this hard life." ”
Jiang Qing: "......"
Sure enough, it's biological.
Now she seemed to understand why when she met Ji Chen's parents for the first time, the second elder didn't seem to know much about Ji Chen. It turned out that this son had resentment in his heart, so he hid many things from his parents.
Regarding Ji Chen's past, Jiang Qing will not ask about it, nor will he be involved. She is just an outsider and is not qualified to comment on the practices of Ji's father and Ji's mother, but there is no doubt about one thing, that is, Ji Chen is alive and well now, and he still has a certain status and financial resources in Beihai City.
Between the thoughts, Ji San had already gotten out of the car, smiled at Jiang Qing, and said respectfully, "Miss Jiang, Madam asked me to send you back." ”
Jiang Qing nodded, sat in the car, looked at the speeding scenery outside the window, and sighed faintly in her heart: This love debt is not easy to repay!
It was late at night when Jiang Qing and Ji Chen returned home, and Ji Chen was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, urging Jiang Qing to cook.
Jiang Qing glanced at him angrily: "When are you still cooking, eat instant noodles!"
"......" Ji Chen could only express his protest with silence.
Instant noodles? What is that?
When Ji Chen was eating instant noodles in the living room, Jiang Qing was speechless for a while.
She raised her leg and kicked Ji Chen, and said dissatisfiedly: "The voice is quieter, I don't know that I raised a pig!"
"You're a pig! your whole family is a pig!" Ji Chen secretly scolded in his heart, although his face was reluctant, his voice was still a little quieter after all.
After eating and drinking, Ji Chen lay directly on the sofa, drooping his eyelids, looking sleepy.
Jiang Qing said casually: "150,000 yuan has arrived." ”
"Really?!" As soon as he heard that the 150,000 yuan had arrived, Ji Chen immediately sat up, sticking out his tongue, and his eyes were full of essence.
"Don't get excited, the money is available now, but don't forget what I told you before, to restore your human form, you need tourmaline to do it. Jiang Qing said slowly.
"I understand this, let's just go buy it!" As soon as Ji Chen spoke, he realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Jiang Qing glanced at him lightly, and said unhurriedly: "I'm afraid you forgot, the tourmaline I want is probably difficult to buy in ordinary jade stores." ”
Being reminded by Jiang Qing like this, Ji Chen remembered that there was still such a stubble, and his enthusiastic heart suddenly became a lot colder.
Jiang Qing had not been in Beihai for a long time, but she did not know much about the local jade market. And Ji Chen is in charge of film and television, although he knows some basic conditions in Beihai City, but these news alone are far from enough!
150,000 yuan, it is not easy to buy a batch of jade that can meet Jiang Qing's requirements.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, Ji Chen gritted his teeth, looked at Jiang Qing, and said solemnly: "I know there is a place where we can try our luck." ”
"Where?" Jiang Qing asked subconsciously.
Ji Chen took a deep breath and slowly spit out two words: "Night market." ”
"Night market?" Jiang Qing raised her eyebrows, "What kind of place is that." ”
"A place to trade in the dark. Ji Chen stared at Jiang Qing's face, and then said, "Do you know where I bought that fake piece of alexandrite?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qing asked uncertainly, "Is this the night market?"
Ji Chen let out a "hmm" and nodded slightly.
Because of Ji Chen's words, Jiang Qing suddenly became quite interested in this night market. Since the alexandrite came from this place, she really wanted to go there.
This is also what Ji Chen meant, since he promised to help Jiang Qing find the Philosopher's Stone, he will spare no effort.
Besides, he spent a lot of money in this place at the beginning and finally bought a fake, just thinking about this made Ji Chen angry!
From before to now, he has been in this Beihai City for so many years, and he has never been so.
So this time, he had to go to the night market.
Jiang Qing's heart was not much calmer than Ji Chen's, these small fights before had nothing to do with her interests, and she had not forgotten the purpose of her trip. Now Ji Chen is going to start investigating the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone, although it is only a beginning, but for her, it means a lot!
Take the first step, and next, she will get closer and closer to the Philosopher's Stone!
