Chapter 268 In the Name of Family

When Chi Xia was in the hospital, Ade printed out a photo of him and Qu Bai. It was two inches in size and fit perfectly in his wallet.

When I went back, Qu Bai was still in the garden without exception.

Ade walked over and told him what happened in Zheng Jinghuai's community: "Sir, Chi Xiao didn't come out to make trouble, I always feel something is wrong."

"The old man didn't let her touch Chi Xia. She either really didn't dare, or she was waiting for the right opportunity."

Qu Bai asked him: "Which one do you think it is?"

Speaking of Chi Xiao, Ade didn't look happy: "She is not an obedient person, and once Tu Guoan wakes up, it will be very bad for her."

"Yes." Qu Bai stood up: "Where has Lin Feng been during this period?"

Speaking of this person, Ade frowned: "I don't think I've seen him much."

Qu Bai's face darkened: "Go check."

Ade nodded immediately and said, "Miss Chi asked us to find Xiao Zheng's whereabouts. We don't have any clues, and it seems that it's the same on her side. Sir, do you want to send more people?"

"He's been keeping a close eye on me lately, so it's unrealistic to send more people." Qu Bai frowned: "Let's wait and see."

Ade agreed and prepared to check Lin Feng's situation. He took two steps and turned back: "Sir, Lao K has paid much attention to Scorpion recently."

"This is a good thing." Qu Bai said, wiping his hands.

Ade seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Qu Bai asked.

"He..." Ade asked, "Can you really trust him?"

"Don't employ those you doubt, and don't doubt those you employ." Qu Bai walked up to him and said, "Don't doubt the comrades you have chosen."

Ade felt a little guilty about what he said: "I know."

"Go ahead." He said, grabbing Ade's arm again: "There's one more thing."

"What?"

Qu Bai didn't say anything right away, as if he was still making the final decision. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind: "Let's buy some food and go to the villa where Chi Xia used to live."

"You want to..." Ade was a little moved.

"Make her favorite food." Qu Bai said, "Let's have dinner together tonight. I'm afraid we won't have the chance again in the future."

Ade's eyes felt a little hot, and he nodded: "Miss Chi's side..."

"I'll contact them." Qu Bai lowered his head: "Go ahead, it's getting late."

"Yeah." Ade turned and left.

Qu Bai turned around and looked at the garden he had carefully tended, a gentle smile appearing on his stern face.

The phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and took a look. His gentle face suddenly became stern again.

He answered the phone and asked the other party: "Why did you contact me suddenly?"

The voice on the other end was difficult to tell whether it was male or female. It was exactly the same voice as the one he had called when he found out someone had added Chi Xia as a friend.

"I found Xiao Zheng."

"Where?" Qu Bai's voice softened a little.

"Yuji." The other party said, "But he is dead."

Qu Bai asked: "Where is the body?"

"The abandoned orphanage back then." The other party paused and said, "He wants to use himself as bait."

Qu Bai squeezed the phone with a little force, clenched his other hand into a fist and then released it: "I understand."

The other party was more talkative than usual this time: "Should we start planning ahead of time?"

Qu Bai exhaled: "This is the only way."

"Then I'll arrange it." said the other party.

"Wait." Qu Bai was a little anxious.

A rare smile came from the other party on the phone: "What's wrong with you?"

"After tonight." Qu Bai said, " Tomorrow."

The other party thought about it, and his voice was filled with a bit of weird teasing: "Actually, I can help you buy two more days."

"No need." Qu Bai said, "It will be fine after tonight."

The other party didn't reply to him and hung up the phone directly.

…

Chi Xia came out of the hospital feeling a little heavy-hearted.

I don’t know if it was the smell of disinfectant everywhere , the conversation with Zheng Jinghuai, or the sight of Lu Tao’s face covered with bruises after being scratched by Du Xiaoyu’s father.

She wanted to contact Luo Xun to ask about his situation, but was afraid that it would be inappropriate, so after thinking about it, she decided not to contact him.

When she was leaving the door, she was bumped by someone, and the other person hurriedly said sorry to her.

Chi Xia didn't take it seriously. After getting in the car, she opened her palm. The man just now stuffed a note into her hand, and there was a lychee candy wrapped in the note.

Chi Xia unfolded the note, which read: See you at the villa tonight.

She took the note, called Chang Youwei and Juanmao, and drove towards the villa.

Lin Wenjue called them on the way. Chi Xia stopped the car and told him in detail what happened after they came back.

Lin Wenjue sighed: "I'll ask Luo Xun later. Chi Xia, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Chi Xia said and looked at the calendar again: "Brother Lin, tomorrow is Sister Luo Xun's birthday, you should come back."

Lin Wenjue was silent for a while: "Let's give tomorrow's time to their family. It doesn't matter which day I go."

Chi Xia asked about Yu Ji's situation again, which seemed a little complicated .

"Then I will come back with Luo Xun then."

Chi Xia restarted the car: "I always feel that Yu Ji's matter is not over yet. By the way, you should send a few more people to Tu Guoan's side. I always feel that something is wrong because Chi Xiao has been slow to take action against him."

Lin Wenjue said: "The heiress is keeping a close eye on us, and I will also keep an eye on our police officers."

The two talked for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Because of this incident, Chi Xia was delayed on the road for a while and went to buy some things. When he arrived at the villa, he saw that the lights in the house were on.

When she strolled over with the pomegranates and persimmons, Qu Bai was standing at the door waiting for her.

"Are you back?" Qu Bai asked her with a smile, "Are you hungry?"

"Not only am I hungry, I'm also very sleepy."

Chi Xia handed him the things in her hand and complained, "I haven't slept for a long time."

Qu Bai went in with her: "It will take some time before dinner is ready. Go take a nap. I'll help Ade."

"Do you have my favorite shredded potatoes?" Chi Xia asked.

“I fry it myself.”

Qu Bai smiled and said, "I've tidied up your bedroom. You can go to bed right away."

Chi Xia's steps were a little unsteady: "Then should I really go to sleep for a while?"

"How can you eat when you can't even open your eyes?" Qu Bai pushed her over and said, "Wash your face and brush your teeth before going to bed."

Chi Xia went into the bathroom with a giggle, and soon came out with her face covered in foam. She stood at the kitchen door and said, "Tsk, it smells so good."

The pink apron that Ade got from somewhere couldn't hide his sturdy figure even when he put it on.

He turned around, looking much more down-to-earth than usual: "They are all delicious dishes."

"Do you have lion heads?" Chi Xia asked.

Ade said, “Yes.”

"chicken soup?"

"have."

“Hairy crab?”

"have."

…

"Eating so much is not a problem for your stomach."

Qu Bai washed a persimmon and was eating it. He came over, grabbed her clothes by the back of her neck and pushed her into the bathroom: "If you don't want to sleep, come and help me."

Chi Xia washed up as quickly as possible and went into the room. He got into bed without even turning on the light and shouted at the top of his voice, "Good night, everyone!"

No one mentioned anything about the case or Old K.

It seemed as if they were just an ordinary family who came home from work, and their lives were ordinary and mundane day after day.

Qu Bai smiled and closed the door for her, then went to the kitchen while chewing a persimmon. He leaned against the door frame and asked Ade, "Ade, what do you want to do in the future?"

Ade was chopping garlic and turned around to ask, "What did you say?"

"If we can all survive in the end, what do you want to do?"

Ade smiled and raised the kitchen knife: "I want to cook for you every day."

"Look at what you have accomplished, is there nothing else?"

Qu Bai finished eating the persimmon, washed his hands, and rolled up his sleeves to help him.

Ade thought about it seriously and smiled: "Then I also want a big kitchen, this one is too small."

Qu Bai glanced at him with disdain: "Okay, I'll make you a big one."

“Is there a dishwasher?”

"Of course."

“I choose the tools myself.”

"OK."

"Do you go home for dinner every day?"
