Chapter 228: Drinking is OK
"Chi Xia, Chi Xia?"
The elevator had already opened, but Chi Xia was unmoved. Gui Lai called her twice, but she still didn't respond.
Old Qiu pulled him back and slapped Chi Xia on the back of her chest: "You little bitch, you can still be haunted at this time!"
Chi Xia suddenly came back to her senses and looked blankly at Mr. Qiu's worried face. Her heart was beating so fast that she felt panicked.
After getting out of the elevator, Mr. Qiu asked Chi Xia to sit against the wall, guided her to breathe smoothly, and waited for her to follow his instructions and slowly stabilize.
Seeing that her breathing had stabilized, Old Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed her hand and kneaded her fingers and arms: "I think sooner or later I will be scared to death by you!"
Guilai had already found a cup of warm water. Chi Xia drank it in small sips, and the feeling lingering in her heart slowly dissipated.
"What's wrong with you? You're so scared!"
Gui Lai took the cup from her hand and said, "Mr. Qiu, why don't we send her to the hospital?"
Before Mr. Qiu could speak, Chi Xia spoke first: "No, I'm fine."
"You should talk less."
After moving her arms, Elder Qiu said, "As a patient, do you have the right to speak? Come back and contact her to see if there is a good psychologist. Her illness is in her heart."
"It's really okay."
Chi Xia grabbed Mr. Qiu's sleeve and said, "I recalled some memories from a long time ago and choked up. I know a psychologist and I will meet him tomorrow."
Mr. Qiu didn't believe her.
"When I was a child, I was sold by my biological father . Someone saved me, and later that person wanted to train me to be an excellent killing machine."
Chi Xia exhaled and smiled: "We've been doing well for too long. Thinking about it all of a sudden, it's inevitable that I have some post-traumatic stress disorder."
Mr. Qiu's beard curled up again in anger. He looked angry, but he couldn't help feeling distressed in his heart.
She is such a good little girl, I really don’t know what kind of suffering she has to endure!
Lin Cuo called just in time and said that someone was downstairs and asked if they were still there.
Chi Xia and the others went out to look for her. When they saw Lin Cuo's complaining and worried eyes, she only felt a strong sense of security around her. All her close friends were around her, which made her feel at ease.
"Come here." Lin Cuo waved his hand: "Do you remember everything?"
Chi Xia walked over and nodded obediently: "Yeah."
Lin Cuo looked at her and said, " You can do it!"
Chi Xia smiled ingratiatingly.
"Luo Xun is going to drive the car, let's find a place to eat first."
Lin Cuo grabbed her hand and looked at Mr. Qiu: "Mr. Qiu, let Guilai drive you. Let's go to dinner. Chi Xia and I can take a car. I have some business to discuss with her."
Mr. Qiu had no objection and told her, "She has just recovered her memory, don't let her think too much, take it slow."
Lin Cuo nodded.
Luo Xun's car drove over, and he got out to say hello to Mr. Qiu and Guilai, and then everyone got into their cars.
Chi Xia was grimacing and sighing from the moment he got on the bus to the moment he sat down, which made Lin Cuo feel both distressed and amused: "If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
"A short pain is worse than a long one." Chi Xia took a breath of relief after sitting down: "Senior sister, what business did you just talk about?"
"Your portrait."
Lin Cuo said: "Captain Luo showed me that he looks very similar to the leader of an international criminal organization. If it is confirmed to be him, then there are many traces of his work on the Qincheng border. We may need to cooperate with each other at that time."
"That's my guess." Chi Xia thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Senior Brother Song will need help from there."
Lin Cuo frowned: "Song Yanci? Tell me what you think."
"The leader of this organization can move freely in the war zone. I was brought back by him. There were many other children in the same group as me. Moreover, I cannot be sure whether I am in the first group or just one of the other groups."
When they heard this, Lin Cuo and Luo Xun's faces became serious.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Chi Xia grabbed Lin Cuo's hand and said, "I now feel that he is using this method to select the tools he wants, but I am still somewhat certain that his base camp must be in Dongzhou. This place must be of great significance to him."
"Then you..." Lin Cuo thought for a moment before asking, "Do you remember where you were before you were twelve?"
Chi Xia shook her head: "I don't know how to describe that place. It could be an orphanage or a mental hospital. I have forgotten the route I took to escape and meet my adoptive parents."
"If you don't remember, then forget it." Lin Cuo comforted her: "Don't make it difficult for yourself to think about it."
Chi Xia nodded, leaned over and asked her: "How many days can you stay this time?"
"Mr. Qiu will stay for two more days to make sure you are okay. I will go to the provincial department to meet with Director Qiao."
Lin Cuo said: "As for Gui Lai, Captain Luo has already told me about Tu Guolin's situation. It will be easier for Gui Lai to act with this identity. Let him go to Yu Ji to help you test this man."
Chi Xia was delighted: "Really?"
Lin Cuo glanced at her: "Do you think I'm kidding you?"
Chi Xia chuckled and secretly glanced at Luo Xun who was driving in front.
When Lin Cuo saw her like this, he looked at him with disdain. He had done a lot of things in just a short time since he came back.
Considering that Chi Xia said last time that the spicy and sour potato shreds in that hotel were not tasty, Luo Xun ordered a private restaurant. The courtyard was quiet and the environment was good. Anyway, both Mr. Qiu and Guilai were very satisfied.
While waiting for the meal, Lin Cuo called Chi Xia out, leaving Luo Xun alone to be interrogated by Qiu Laohe who had returned.
Chi Xia followed Lin Cuo to a shady pavilion.
"I'm going to take Jiang Yi to Dongzhou to stay for ten days or half a month."
Feeling the refreshing evening breeze, Lin Cuo said: "The summer in Qincheng is too long, there is no autumn."
"The autumn in Dongzhou is so beautiful."
Chi Xia invited enthusiastically: "Senior sister, you must come. You must promise me first, and you can't just say it."
"There will always be time." Lin Cuo looked at her with a sigh: "You are such a troublemaker, and you even have a boyfriend."
Chi Xia smiled a little embarrassedly: "I have made some very good friends here, and I am living a good life. Don't worry about me all the time."
Lin Cuo smiled and was happy for her: "By the way, your memory is restored, what do you want to do next?"
"Clear up the case of my adoptive parents."
Chi Xia said seriously: "Their death is definitely not an accident. It is very likely related to a criminal group."
"Then I will help you talk to Director Qiao when I see him. You know, it is difficult to reopen an investigation into a case that has already been concluded. Moreover, if an investigation is really launched, you, as a family member, will have to avoid it."
"With Luo Xun here, I'm safe even if I don't participate in the investigation."
Chi Xia snorted and laughed: "Sometimes being excluded from the case may help me do things better."
"Okay."
Lin Cuo told her: "Anyway, you must always remember that everyone can help you. Don't rush into it all by yourself. If you continue to act like this and don't take your body seriously, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Chi Xia assured weakly: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will firmly love and protect my precious life."
"You only know how to coax people with your mouth."
Lin Cuo stared at her, and saw the proprietress coming out of the kitchen with food: "Okay, let's go and eat first."
When the two of them entered, Chi Xia saw that there were two empty wine bottles on the table.
Lin Cuo walked over and sat down with an expressionless face, then smiled at her ingratiatingly and respectfully pushed a cup of tea over to her.
Chi Xia looked at Gui Lai with a questioning look.
Guilai shrugged, indicating that he just didn't want to speak.
Chi Xia looked at Luo Xun and Old Qiu again. Very good, their expressions were the same. So, how did the two bottles of wine get distributed among the three people?
Chi Xia was completely confused during the meal. Old Qiu and Guilai kept asking Luo Xun questions, especially Old Qiu. He even wanted to know which girl Luo Xun's third aunt's son married.
This question really touched upon Luo Xun's blind spot in knowledge. He hesitated for a second and said, "Wait a moment. I need to ask my dad about this."
Luo Xun took out his cell phone and was about to call Luo Weijun.
Chi Xia quickly pressed it.
With her muscles stretched and her teeth bared, she finally confirmed that these three normal-looking men were now drunk.
Lin Cuo ate his meal slowly, took only a glance, took out his phone and sent a voice message to Jiang Yi.
"Well, it seems that the drinking behavior is OK."
