Chapter 242 Brother and Sister Talk
Qu Bai ruffled her hair: "Someone has to do it."
Chi Xia lowered his head, his throat tightened: "Brother... I can do it too."
"I know." Qu Bai looked at her whorl of hair and said, "But you have to live a good life and don't go back to that crappy place."
"What about you?" Chi Xia's eyes were moist, and she dipped a cotton swab in medicine to touch the wound on his palm.
"Brother is already bad enough." Qu Bai said with a smile: "You are so smart, you understand what I mean, right?"
If a drop of clean water falls into ink, how can it remain unscathed?
"You promised me."
Chi Xia shook his head stubbornly, applied medicine on him, and bandaged him with gauze: "You must live."
"Yeah." Qu Bai said, "I know."
"But he's not stupid." She took a deep breath: "Brother, we all know he's not stupid."
Old K is not stupid, especially after his two children got into trouble one after another, he became more cautious.
Over the years, although he had taken a fancy to Qu Bai, he also suppressed him, warned him from time to time, and sent him a signal at all times:
I can make you live or die, but you can never escape from my palm.
Qu Bai did not have the opportunity to access many core things because they were Lao K's life-saving talismans.
"Many police officers have lost their lives at his hands." Qu Bai took back his bandaged hand and looked at it again and again: "The situation cannot continue to be chaotic."
As the person who set up the game, all the chess pieces need his mobilization and cooperation.
"What about me?"
"You are my hope and my support."
Qu Bai brought over a pomegranate: "Peel it for me."
Chi Xia took the knife and pomegranate, and when she lowered her head, tears fell on the back of her hand: "Sister Luo Xun's case, my adoptive parents' case, is it related to Lao K?"
"The incident with his sister was probably just a coincidence, and someone took advantage of it to tie you two together."
Qu Bai looked at her and said, "Your adoptive parents' case might have been involved by him and Chi Xiao."
"Have you checked?" Chi Xia asked him directly without any hesitation.
"I did, but they were keeping a close eye on me at that time."
"I see."
"But there is one thing I want to tell you."
Qu Bai said: "Chi Xiao admires Lao K very much, but to Lao K, everyone is a tool to be used. In the case of your adoptive parents, Lao K should have used Chi Xiao to some extent."
"So the third group of people in Yubin belongs to Lao K, and his target should be me."
She prepared the pomegranate and handed half to Qu Bai.
Qu Bai wiped his hands and put pomegranates into his mouth one by one: "Yes, Chi Xiao wanted to get rid of Tu Guolin once and for all, but this was not her plan at the beginning. As for why she suddenly chose the most unsafe way, I don't know yet, but it must be related to him. He wants you to find out the truth."
"Then he really understands me." Chi Xia sneered.
Ade shouted at the kitchen door with a spatula in his hand: "The meal is ready, get ready to eat."
Qu Bai hummed and sorted out the things on the table: "Chi Xia, maybe the results you found are far from the truth you want, but you have to remember what I told you."
"I know." Chi Xia said, "Most truths hurt people."
Qu Bai smiled: "Well, now that Luo Xun is by your side, as well as your friends, I feel relieved."
"People don't just need love and friendship." Chi Xia looked at her seriously: "My family is my support."
Qu Bai paused and smiled at her: "I know."
Ade put the dishes on the table. Chi Xia sighed and asked Qu Bai: "Nie Haishu, do you know him?"
Ade's movements froze for a moment, and Qu Bai glanced at him: "I know him."
Before Chi Xia opened his mouth, Qu Bai said, "Chi Xia, he has his own mission and responsibility, his brother..."
He sighed softly: "His brother...is a police officer."
Chi Xia looked at Qu Bai in shock.
"He is now."
Qu Bai called to Ade in the kitchen, "Ade, bring me a spoon."
Ade responded.
Qu Bai looked at Chi Xia who was in a daze: "I will try my best to protect him, but his girlfriend..."
"They got married." Chi Xia said.
Qu Bai was startled, then frowned: "I don't know about that."
"I will take care of Ge Jingyi, and she won't do anything reckless."
Chi Xia said when Ade brought out the soup.
Qu Bai hummed and looked at Ade. Ade took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chi Xia.
"I have been in Dongzhou these years to help him guard the area and to allow him to better supervise me. He returned to Dongzhou some time ago, and there are more spies around me. I can't stay for long, and I don't want to tell you about those messy things. The paper shows some of the people he has used over the years. You can take a look after I leave."
After he said this, Chi Xia stopped trying to open the note.
"Let's eat." Qu Bai handed her the chopsticks: "Ade is a very good cook."
Chi Xia pulled A De to sit down and scooped soup for everyone: "When we were in Yuji, Heizi brought us food. Those dishes were made by Uncle Gen, right?"
"Did you taste it?" Qu Bai held the chopsticks in his left hand: "I cooked the spicy and sour potato shreds because I know you like it."
"I'll eat it next time." Chi Xia picked up some food for him: "I tasted it right away."
Qu Bai smiled at her tolerantly, but thought in his heart, I hope I will have the chance to cook a dish for her in the future.
He wanted to say a lot more, such as that they would not be able to contact each other after this, and that he would ask her and Luo Xun to take care of Uncle Gen, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
She is so smart, there is no need to confirm these things with her over and over again.
only……
"And that Li Yiming." He finally said, "He once made a deal with me and he doesn't want you to recover your memory."
Chi Xia just paused and asked: "How did he find you?"
"Xu Yang." Qu Bai said, "He's a very smart kid. He fits Old K's criteria for selection, doesn't he?"
Chi Xia thought for a moment: "He wants to keep the child."
"Um."
Qu Bai nodded: "Actually, to be more precise, I was the one who found him. He had done some bad things to you. At that time, I thought that this person should be under my control and I couldn't let him become a variable for you."
"Then what is his purpose in being in the detention center?"
"Find someone."
"who?"
"An undercover agent."
Chi Xia put down the bowl, not expecting such an answer.
"A lot of police officers have been killed by Lao K."
Qu Bai said: "Basically the whole army was wiped out. I helped one person escape, but according to his condition at the time, it was difficult for him to survive."
Chi Xia recalled what Qiao Lifu had said to her in the cemetery, and the nails that had been put out were almost unrelatable.
It is unknown whether he is alive or dead, and his whereabouts are unknown.
"The guards have clues?" Chi Xia asked, "So this is why Li Yiming went in?"
"yes."
Qu Bai put down his chopsticks and said, "He was a very hidden thorn, so ordinary that no one would pay attention to him. In the end, I even had no idea where to start when I wanted to find any information about him."
"Then why are you so sure that he is in the detention center?"
"A letter."
Qu Bai said: "The day after we first met , I received an anonymous email with the name of the detention center and a name called Wang Yan. That Wang Yan was the name of the escaped undercover in the organization."
"So you're not sure whether that person is in the detention center or not."
"Um."
Qu Bai nodded: "Later, I asked someone to check the detention center. There was no one with this name, let alone someone with the same appearance. But Li Yiming is proficient in psychology, and he probably has this ability. So I helped the kid with Xu Yang's matter."
Chi Xia didn't ask any more questions. The more she asked, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"I understand." Her heart was heavy: "I will go see him tomorrow."
Qu Bai couldn't help but remind her: "That person is both good and evil, you should be careful."
Chi Xia tapped his bowl and said, "Got it. Eat quickly. The food is getting cold. Did you see Ade's sad look?"
Ade, who was eating silently, immediately shook his head: "I don't have it."
"You did." Chi Xia said firmly: " I saw you glance at Qu Bai's bowl several times."
Ade had nothing to say. He picked up the bowl and started shoveling rice into his mouth.
Qu Bai looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile.
I hope he can cut through this thorny road and create a way out for all those who are forced to do nothing.
Including himself.
