Chapter 125: What's in it for me if you die
Back in the room, Bai He was helped to bed, and she asked casually, "Hasn't anyone sent my money back?" Today is the eighth day. ”
In the past few days, because Bai He has been sleeping and has not woken up, he has almost forgotten about it, but now when he heard her mention it, he remembered it again, shook his head and said, "No Miss." ”
"Looks like I have to ask someone from the patrol room to come over. Got it, then you can run for me tomorrow. Bai He said lightly.
Zhi nodded and said okay.
Bai He asked her to give her the book, and then asked her to rest too, saying that I will sleep after reading a book, and you don't have to worry about me.
Knowing this, he put the milk on the bedside table and slowly exited the room.
Looking at the book quietly, Bai He's thoughts drifted away uncontrollably, so she simply put down the book and lay down, and put out the light.
She told herself not to think about it anymore.
There are many things that she thinks about a thousand times and ten thousand times may not be as effective as asking her in person, so she has already made a decision, and tomorrow she will go to Zhu Dongfeng to find an answer to her doubts.
Bai He closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
At the same time, in the western suburbs of the Golden Horse Casino, an army is quietly surrounding it.
Fu Jinghuai stood in front of the casino, and as soon as he gave an order, Bai Ziyi led people to rush into the casino, and the smoky casino suddenly turned on its back.
"No one in the room allowed them to escape! Take it all back! Bai Ziyi said sharply, and his men had already begun to act.
The gamblers in the casino panicked as soon as the soldiers arrested them, and ran around trying to find a way out of the chaos, but the army had already surrounded the place, and even if they ran out of the casino, they could not escape the encirclement of the army.
"Deputy Commander, two people escaped and were caught by us!"
Bai Ziyi looked back, his brows suddenly furrowed, and Bai Zhengting, who was pinned to his arm, didn't even dare to raise his head at this time.
"Get him back!" Bai Ziyi said angrily.
Bai Zhengting hurriedly said: "Zi Yi, I was wrong, Zi Yi, Zi Yi......" He struggled twice and couldn't break free, and was caught and walked out of the casino.
Fu Jinghuai said: "Your father? ”
Bai Ziyi nodded silently, his face was extremely pale.
The next morning, Zhizhi ran to the patrol room and called people, Bai He looked at it and said, "Why are you?" What about Li Yan? ”
Qi Tai led the two brothers and said with a smile: "Miss Bai, Mr. Li's identity is different now, how can he do everything by himself like before?" I'm the head catcher of the patrol house now, if you have something to do, I'll just come. ”
"Oh yes, I forgot, he's now the official Jinzhou chief catcher." Bai He smiled and glanced at Qi Tai, they were not strangers, "Then sit down, let me tell you why I came here." ”
"Hey, Miss Bai, you say." Qi Tai sat down and served tea.
Bai He said slowly: "I lost 100,000 yuan, I hope you can help me get the money back." ”
Qi Tai just picked up the tea bowl and didn't drink it, when he heard the words, he immediately put down the tea bowl, he looked at the two brothers who came with him, swallowed his saliva, and hesitated: "Miss Bai, how much money did you say you lost?" ”
"One hundred thousand." The index finger of Bai He's right hand drew circles in the air, and said with a smile: "Right here, in my room, disappeared for no reason." ”
"This ......" Qi Tai was dumbfounded for a moment, and only after a moment did he say tentatively, "Did Miss Bai ask your family?" Maybe they didn't tell you about it? ”
Bai He said, "If that's the case, will I invite you to come?" ”
Qi Tai was speechless, and felt that what he said was also true.
"It means that Miss Bai's money is missing in Miss Bai's room, and Miss Bai's family doesn't know where the money went, right?"
Bai He supported his chin with one hand and nodded slowly.
"Okay, I see." Qi Tai coughed, this must have been the work of the thief, he asked Bai He to tell him the specific time and process of finding that the money was missing, and he planned where to start.
However, as soon as he heard that the 100,000 yuan was taken in three times, he was a little confused, he had never seen a thief who stole money would do such a stupid thing, the people who steal things are insatiable people, and it is the norm for thieves not to go empty, what does it mean to steal a little and keep a little?
He was puzzled, and Bai He may not be puzzled, "When you help me find out the person, don't you know why the other party is doing this?" ”
Qi Tai smiled embarrassedly, and wrote down the general things that Bai He told him in the small notebook he brought, and then he nodded, saying that he wanted to ask the Bai family's servants a few questions first, and trouble Bai He to gather people.
Knowing that he went to call everyone over, Qi Tai asked some questions in public, nothing more than where and what he was doing at the time of the incident, no one can prove it for you, but it has been a long time since the incident happened, who can remember it so clearly? So most of the answers they got were vague, and most of them were sure that they hadn't stepped into Bai He's room, only two maids went in to clean it, or because they knew that they were not free to go out with Bai He.
"But we haven't touched anything other than cleaning the room for Miss Four! It's true! Yahuan hurriedly explained.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be nervous, I'm just doing a survey now." Qi Tai wrote in his notebook, and then asked them to go and ask if the rest of Bai He's family was there.
Coincidentally, today, in addition to Bai Zhengting and Bai Ziyi, there is also Bai Yuewei who went to a painting class, and the eldest wife and the two aunts are there.
Qi Tai first asked a few questions from the eldest wife, and then asked two aunts, of course, in the end, he didn't get any useful clues, and he also knew that asking questions couldn't ask anything, but the process had to go through again.
The fourth aunt also muttered: "This is treating us as thieves!" ”
After taking notes, Qi Tai said something to Bai He alone, saying that he would first investigate everyone's money transactions one by one, and then come to Bai He when he had clues, and let her wait patiently during this period.
After finishing speaking, Qi Tai took the two brothers away, Bai He looked at their backs, thinking that such an unprofessional catcher could be promoted to the head catcher, and there was really no one in the patrol room.
"Got it, pack it up and go out with me." She stood up and said.
When she came to Zhu's mansion, she was told by the servant that Zhu Dongfeng had not come back for two days after returning to the old mansion, she frowned and asked if she could give him a call, and said that someone was looking for him, but don't say who it was.
Bai He was the Ninth Lady in the eyes of the servant, she didn't dare not listen, so the servant really called the old house, and after she finished speaking according to Bai He's instructions, she put down the receiver and said, "Mr. will come back soon, Miss Bai, you can sit down and wait for a while." ”
"Okay, thank you." Bai He nodded and went to sit on the sofa.
She didn't expect Zhu Dongfeng to come so quickly, only more than half an hour later, there was movement at the entrance, Bai He got up and walked over gently, Zhu Dongfeng just took off his coat and handed it to Zhu Xing, he was rarely stunned when he saw Bai He.
"Are you awake?" The words blurted out, and Zhu Dongfeng realized that he would say such stupid things.
Bai He tilted his head to look at him and smiled: "I woke up yesterday and didn't let them notify you, I want to surprise you." So, surprise? ”
"Surprise." Zhu Dongfeng stepped forward, his eyes wandered on her face, he raised his hand to comb her long hair that was a little messy, and his eyes were as deep as a pool of lake water and looked straight at her beautiful face, such an undisguised strong look.
Bai He had seen such a look countless times in the past few years, and she knew what would happen next, and she looked at him with a smile on her face, waiting for him.
She shuddered slightly as her cool hand touched her baby-like skin, and then the shadow pressed against her, her red lips seemed to be encroached upon by a raging storm, and she reflexively held his chest with both hands, and her feet stepped back again and again.
Because he couldn't see it, Bai He's steps were a little anxious, and he felt that his waist was tightly wrapped by Zhu Dongfeng's strong arms, and his two long legs were pressing step by step, and all his actions were strong that could not be refused.
Her back slammed against the wall.
There is no turning back.
Bai He gasped slightly, and his beautiful eyes widened as he looked at the face that was slowly moving away.
Zhu Dongfeng's lips were dyed with a faint layer of red, the tip of his tongue licked, the water was shining, he looked at Bai He's eyes became more and more intense, and his voice was hoarse: "Bai He, respond to me." ”
Bai He's long, straight eyelashes trembled, and then she closed her eyes and put her arms around his neck.
Such an action was her response, and Zhu Dongfeng's arm around her willow waist became harder and harder with the degree of this kiss, until Bai He felt that it was difficult to breathe.
"Hmm......"
Bai He slapped him on the back, but in exchange for his more than he could have wreaked havoc, she knew that his seemingly gentle but strong personality had to lick his lips delicately, once, twice, three times......
The force gradually decreased, and Bai He was finally able to lie on him and breathe fresh air.
"I've wanted to do this for a long time." Zhu Dongfeng sighed softly in her ear. In the past few days that she has been asleep, Zhu Dongfeng has been inexplicably irritable every day, which is a feeling he has never felt. He prides himself on being an unusually calm man, able to keep his composure in whatever he is facing, because he is a businessman who needs the clearest mind to get the most out of himself. However, Bai He broke his calm, and although Zhao Yuan repeatedly told him that Bai He did not have any problems with his body, he was still anxious when he looked at the sleeping Bai He.
Bai He snuggled up to him and smiled slightly: "Did I worry you?" ”
"Hmm." Zhu Dongfeng responded.
Bai He raised his face to look at him, Zhu Dongfeng stared at her lips and smiled, "I think you need to go and make up for it." ”
Walking to the bathroom, Bai He looked at himself in the mirror. 77 eBooks
Her lips were slightly swollen, and her lipstick was already flowering, a little light, a little thick, and a little overflowing beyond the lip line.
She wiped it gently with her water-soaked fingertips.
After making up the makeup, Bai Lotus went out, and wished Dongfeng's face the same smile as always.
Bai He felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that she had seen such an intimate appearance just now, but she just said, "If you can try to restrain yourself a little, I don't think I need to touch up my makeup." ”
Zhu Dongfeng said: "You can give it a try next time." He put down his glass and got up, "Go upstairs, together?" ”
Suddenly going upstairs?
Bai He didn't agree, and said with a smile: "I think it's good to sit in the living room." "The main purpose of her coming here today is not to fall in love with him.
However, Zhu Dongfeng was silent for a long time, then picked her up, walked to the stairs and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, it's just that I haven't rested for a few days, and I want you to lie down with me for a while." ”
"How many days without a break? Why? Bai He asked, putting his arms around his neck.
"It's okay, I'm just busy." Zhu Dongfeng replied casually.
Bai He could see that he didn't want to let him know the reason, so he didn't ask anymore.
Although Zhu Dongfeng said that he just wanted to lie down and rest for a while, many things were not easy to say once men and women got to bed, especially when Bai He's soft body was close to him, he couldn't control his reaction at all.
He gently kissed Bai He's forehead, Bai He sensed what he wanted to do, and immediately said out loud: "I have some things I can't figure out, can you explain it to me?" ”
Zhu Dongfeng's movements stopped, looking into her eyes, he didn't speak.
The silence may be for a second or two, or for a long, long time.
"I know what you're asking." He smiled knowingly and kissed her in the eye, "But can you wait until I wake up?" ”
Bai He nodded: "Okay." ”
I wish Dongfeng Waner, and did not move her again.
Watching him slowly close his eyes, Bai He felt a desolation for some reason, as if something was quietly changing between the two of them.
She lowered her eyes, thinking about the question she would ask when he woke up, and she gradually lost her energy when she thought about it.
When Bai He opened her eyes groggily, the scorching sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window was in the sky, she was stabbed and closed her eyes reflexively, and then pulled the pillow with her hand to prepare to change to a flat lying position.
But when the back of her hand touched a hard and cold object, she suddenly lifted her eyes, and her eyes instantly became clear.
She carefully discerned the shape and determined that it was a gun.
Right under her pillow.
Bai He's heart was beating like a drum, she looked down, an arm was on her waist, and Zhu Dongfeng was sleeping behind her at the moment.
Bai He slowly pulled the gun from under the pillow, trying to take it aside.
"Awake?"
Behind him, a man's deep, magnetic voice suddenly sounded.
Bai He was startled, the hand holding the gun trembled, she turned her head and said, "You didn't sleep?" ”
"Huh? How do you know? ”
Zhu Dongfeng didn't seem to see the gun in her hand, lowered his head and kissed her on the side of the face, and chuckled: "Just close your eyes and rest for a while, you fell asleep before me." ”
"I heard it." There was no drowsiness in his voice.
Bai He sat up, handed him the gun, twisted his eyebrows and said, "When did you put a gun under your pillow?" "Her heartbeat stopped beating when she first touched it, what if she went off?
Zhu Dongfeng took the gun and said, "Five days ago." ”
Zhu Dongfeng said lightly: "Don't you ask why?" ”
After following him for a few years, the best thing Bai He did was to be obedient and adaptable, she asked, "Why?" ”
"Because someone wanted to kill me."
Zhu Dongfeng's voice calmly couldn't hear a trace of emotion, but Bai He's hand trembled inexplicably, and after about three seconds, she looked back at him, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth: "Who dares to touch you?" ”
In her eyes, the man's figure approached abruptly, and his thin lips almost touched her, "You're right, no one dares to touch me." ”
Bai He lowered his eyes, still smiling.
"Will you shoot?" Zhu Dongfeng asked.
"Isn't that it?" Bai He raised his arms and made a standard shooting stance, "Then pull the trigger." Her index finger twitched slightly.
"That's how it should be."
Zhu Dongfeng gently took her hand, stuffed the gun into her palm, and then aimed the muzzle of the gun at his heart.
He looked at Bai He's suddenly widened eyes, and said with a pun: "Only in this way can it be foolproof." ”
Bai He pulled back his hand vigorously, threw the gun aside casually, frowned and said, "I don't want to learn this!" Don't do it either, it's too dangerous! ”
She lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but her wrist was pulled into the man's arms with a sudden tightness, and Zhu Dongfeng's slightly cool fingers touched her skin, "I thought you would try to shoot." ”
“…… What are you talking about? Bai He looked at him directly, a little dissatisfied, "Why should I shoot you?" It's just that after squinting for more than two hours, Zhu Dongfeng became strange, which made Bai He feel very uncomfortable.
She glanced at the gun thrown on the quilt and kicked it a little farther away, "What's in it for me if you're dead?" ”
"Maybe you'll be happy." Zhu Dongfeng said half-guessingly and half-sincerely.
"Why?" Bai He was really confused, she subconsciously wanted to touch his forehead to see if he had a fever and was talking nonsense, but he grabbed his hand, "No reason, it's a joke I made." ”
"You!" Bai He pretended to glare at him in annoyance, then pushed him away and walked quickly into the bathroom.
There was a sound of running water in the bathroom, and Zhu Dongfeng took his gun, which seemed to have left the smell of white lotus on the gun, a light and refreshing fragrance.
He looked at it and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Then he put the gun in the bedside table.
Zhu Dongfeng also walked into the bathroom, and when he saw Bai He glaring at him in the mirror, he smiled silently, he washed up briefly, and walked downstairs with Bai He.
Aunt Zhu made dinner and served it on the table early.
"Don't you have a lot of questions for me? We ate and talked, how about it? Zhu Dongfeng pulled the chair away and let her sit down, Bai He smiled, and said Isn't it too rich to eat only the two of us?
Zhu Dongfeng smiled without saying a word, and went to sit down opposite her.
He poured her a glass of juice and a glass of red wine for himself, "You are recovering from a serious illness, of course you have to eat a good meal to make up for it." ”
"I'm not sick, I'm just sleeping a little longer." Bai He corrected him, saying that there was a fundamental difference, and the doctors said that my physical condition was very good.
Zhu Dongfeng nodded in agreement with her, "Well, I know you're in good health. ”
Bai He paused, couldn't help laughing, and then asked, "I didn't affect their wedding that day, right?" ”
"Nope. Do not worry. Zhu Dongfeng peeled a shrimp and put it on her plate, "Even if it is affected, who of them dares to say something?" ”
Bai He looked at him, bowed his head and smiled.
The two of them were chatting and eating, and the strange thing was that the topic was Zhu Dongfeng taking the initiative to find it, and he said more than before, but Bai He was mostly echoing him.
I don't know how long later, Zhu Dongfeng suddenly talked about his youth.
Despite his doubts, Bai He listened carefully.
