The Secret Emerges (4)
Qiao Yan looked at him in astonishment. "What about you?"
"I'm not going, I'll leave the space to you." Yu Chihong's voice was very soft, but it had a great and terrifying power.
Qiao Yan frowned and opened her mouth in amazement: "What does this mean?" β
Wei Chihong glanced at Zhong Kai, and Zhong Kai looked at him expressionlessly. "Go outside and talk about it." Yu Chihong took Qiao Yan's arm and led her to the courtyard outside.
The cold wind was bleak, Qiao Yan was not wearing a coat, her face was snow-white, and her eyes were black. Wei Chihong took off his coat and wanted to put it on her, but she stubbornly refused. "Did you hear what your brother said to me when you came in over the wall last night?" She stared at Yu Chihong, her lips trembling, and asked in a low voice.
"Yes," Wei Chihong breathed heavily, his chest rising and falling violently.
Qiao Yan's eyes were round and wide, and those eyes looked dark and deep. "You're trying to ...... me Let it be given to your brother? β
Yu Chihong's heart twisted, and his lips lost their blood. The feeling of pain in his heart burned her like a flame, and in the scorching of this flame, he shouted silently: "If it weren't for my brother, how could I give up my beloved woman." That's because, you're Gorge's daughter. But I can't tell you, and I can't leave you with the heart to leave, and the current situation, such a misunderstanding, may give me the best excuse and reason. β
His eyes looked deep into her eyes, filled with pain, helplessness, and pity. This vision speaks too much of the language of the heart and the depth of affection. Qiao Yan's eyes were wet in an instant, and tears poured into her eyes crazily, and she threw herself into his arms and buried her head in his chest.
"Don't let it." She murmured, "I have only you in my heart, and I can't accept anyone else." I know you're sorry for your brother, but there are many ways to make amends......"
"Don't talk about it." He cupped her chin with his hand and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks. Then, he let go of his hand and took a step back. His lips were dry and hot, and his voice was hoarse, "I'm sorry, whether you accept my brother or not, we can't continue." I can't cross this gap. β
Qiao Yan even lost the color of her lips, and her voice was so cold and deep, low as a whisper: "It turns out that I have no status in your mind at all." No wonder you didn't dare ask me last night, you had already decided to let go then, right? β
Wei Chihong only felt that deep in his heart, a sharp, tearing pain was violently and violently eroding every nerve in him. He couldn't face Qiao Yan anymore, so he only shouted "yes" in a low and short voice, turned around and strode towards the gate.
"Wei Chihongβ" Qiao Yan shouted behind him, "I always thought you were a warrior, but I didn't expect you to be a coward!" β
Wei Chihong stopped his steps abruptly, but only paused for a few seconds, and he restarted his steps and quickly disappeared.
Qiao Yan's vision was blurred, and her eyes were full of tears.
Zhong Kai took Beibei's hand and walked out. Bei Bei tilted her head and shouted happily, "Sister, come with us to dinner." β
"My sister is not feeling well, so I won't go." Qiao Yan screamed vaguely, gritted her teeth, rushed into the living room, and rushed into the upstairs room in one breath. She was already in tears, and at this moment, she understood what "pain" was, what "sadness" was, and what "heartbreak" was!
Zhong Kai took Bei Bei away, he knew that Qiao Yan and Wei Chihong had an unpleasant quarrel, and if they tried to stir up at this time, it would only backfire.
In the blink of an eye, December 31 has arrived, and since that day Wei Chi Hong left Qiao's Mansion, he and Qiao Yan have not seen each other again. There have been no major cases in the past few days, and he deliberately avoided it, although the two were in the same public security bureau, there was no chance to meet.
Qiao Yan became depressed, she didn't like anything, she didn't do anything, she was upset and emotionally unstable. The rest of the department saw that something was wrong and asked with concern, but she wouldn't reveal anything. It's not that she's afraid that people will know, but she still has hope in her subconscious, hoping that Yu Chihong will figure it out and resume her previous relationship with her.
"Miss Melancholiac." Mo Yuqing put her hand on Qiao Yan's shoulder, "Hai Haoyi called to urge, how many of us are going to attend tonight's New Year's Eve cocktail party, we must hurry up in the morning, he will send invitations in the afternoon." All three of us will go, and you'll be left alone. β
Qiao Yan held her heavy head with her hands, she didn't belong to her thoughts, and she had already forgotten about it. She sighed depressedly, although she was in a bad mood, she shouldn't have ruined others' fun. "I'll go." She agreed very simply, "There are two more people, I'll ask right now." β
She called Qiao Ran first, Qiao Ran was going to celebrate the New Year's Eve with her friends from the Shi Nara Music Fan Club, and the location was at the hotel where Ling Lingyao worked. Several members of the fan club also participated in the church choir, and they had a good relationship with Ling Lingyao, so she was in charge of organizing the activities.
But Qiao Ran said that he could attend the cocktail party first and go to meet those friends later. Qiao Ran didn't know what happened to Qiao Yan and Wei Chihong, and said vigorously: "The great detective shouldn't have another mission tonight, it's a pity that he doesn't go to such an atmospheric cocktail party." β
Qiao Yan replied wryly: "It depends." β
There was no problem with Qiao Ran, so Qiao Yan was about to call Lu Bin. As soon as the phone was picked up and put back on the desktop, she stood up and decided to go to the office of the first team to see if Lu Bin was there. The office of the first brigade was diagonally opposite the detachment leader's office, and she was ashamed of her uncompetitive thoughts, but she just couldn't control the pace of progress.
As they approached the office of a large group, they heard voices coming from inside. "It's not peaceful at the end of the year, it's already the third rape case." A young man's voice. Another voice like Lu Bin said: "It's so hateful, the Zhulang Island Police Station doesn't claim to be very safe on the island, why did such things happen one after another." β
Wave Island? Qiao Yan's heart was shocked, there were rape cases one after another on Chalang Island?
She was stunned, and Lu Bin and another criminal policeman walked out of the office.
"The boss just went out." As soon as Lu Bin saw Qiao Yan, he quipped, "You didn't come at the right time, if only you were 5 minutes early." β
Qiao Yan was a little disappointed and smiled reluctantly. "I'm here for you, but you seem to have something to do?"
"Looking for me?" Lu Bin was quite surprised, he asked the criminal policeman next to him to wait for him downstairs first, and he came after saying a few words to Qiao Yan.
"What is Qiao Meinu looking for me, shouldn't it...... You want to introduce your sister to me, right? After the criminal policeman left, Lu Bin joked again. Just kidding, he really wanted to know Qiao Yan's sister, but he didn't have much hope.
Qiao Yan said very seriously: "It's not to introduce you, but to introduce you to each other." There's a New Year's Eve cocktail party tonight, and my sister will be there too, depending on if you're available. β
"Oh, sister, you're so nice." Lu Bin even became intimate in tone.
"But let me state first, I'm just introducing you to each other, not trying to match you." Qiao Yan said solemnly, "The answer should be yours, and you have to be true to your word, but I don't want my sister to find the police as her boyfriend, she needs to be spoiled, and the police don't have the time or energy to spoil her." β
Lu Bin sighed mournfully. "Therefore, being a policeman is miserable, bitter and tiring, but there are no people inside and out, and it is difficult to even find a partner."
This made Qiao Yan feel a little guilty. However, Lu Bin quickly regained his optimistic appearance. "Where is the cocktail party held? It's also quite lonely for bachelors to celebrate the holidays, and if I can finish the things at hand sooner, I'll go over. β
Qiao Yan told him that the Black Cat Mansion on Chase Wave Island.
"Wave Island?" When Lu Bin heard these three words, a sharp light immediately shot out in his eyes, "I am just about to go to the island now, and I should be able to catch up." β
"I just heard you say that there were several rapes on Chase Wave Island?" Qiao Yan asked.
"I can't tell for a while, I have to go." Lu Bin was in a hurry, "When the boss comes back, you let him tell you." β
Qiao Yan had no choice but to say, "I'll keep the invitation for you, and contact me when you arrive." β
Lu Bin quickly left. Qiao Yan set her eyes on the closed door of the detachment leader's office, and the scene of seeing Wei Chihong for the first time was clearly replayed in her mind, she remembered every word he said, and remembered the wisps and bits and pieces, the man she loved and admired deeply! She stared at the door like a nerd, but her mind didn't know where to go.
At night at the Black Cat Mansion, the elegant cocktail party was held as scheduled, the blue-purple lights reflected the audience, and the sound of conversation and the sound of ice cubes in the glass and background music were mixed together, making this grand event have a wonderful auditory enjoyment.
Several beautiful women in cheongsams gracefully walked through the crowd with shiny plates, smiling and handing snacks and drinks to everyone. Here you can enjoy shrimp, foie gras, chocolates, desserts and more, as well as fabulous body painting and bartending performances, or invite dance partners to the dance floor.
All the guests were required to attend in formal attire, and even Lu Bin rushed back to the dormitory to change into a suit and then go back to the island, fortunately, the dormitory of the Public Security Bureau was close to the pier, so it would not be too much of a toss.
Sisters Qiao Yan and Qiao Ran came early. Qiao Yan wore a black off-the-shoulder evening dress, exuding a cold, mysterious and noble atmosphere, showing the sexy nature of a woman, the skirt was long and the instep was long, and the fabric was elegant, which just catered to the luxurious and warm atmosphere of the night; Qiao Ran was wearing a pink bandeau puffy skirt, like a cute and innocent little princess.
Zeng Jinling, Mo Yuqing and Wan Xing also dressed up. Zeng Jinling wore a silver-gray silk fishtail skirt, noble and generous; Mo Yuqing wore a goose-yellow dress with a waistless and backless waist, fresh and bright; Wan Xing's dress is the simplest, a plain white gauze long skirt, but it is also literary and smart, and there is a bit of charm that has never been seen on weekdays. Qiao Yan couldn't help but sigh, people really rely on clothes, Wanxing usually doesn't pay attention to clothes, his appearance is inconspicuous, and he has a unique style when he dresses up.
