Chapter 116 Bad Guest
"Wait, sir, this entire floor is reserved. If you don't have an invitation, please don't move around."

"Get out of my way! How dare you block my way? Do you know who I am?"

"But please don't disturb other guests."

What happened?

Li Qing wiped his hands with a tissue. There were too many delicious foods in the hall and he got carried away.

Although another reason for him to escape to the bathroom was to temporarily avoid Lin Xiaoyu's inquiring gaze - there were too many people here now, so he would deal with her after the banquet.

It's no good to keep it to yourself.

However, let's take a look at what's going on first... This floor was clearly given to the "Blind Heart" crew. As the nominal and actual person in charge, Li Qing felt that it was his responsibility to go and see what was going on.

What's more, he vaguely felt that one of the voices sounded familiar. If nothing unexpected happened, it must be someone he had interacted with before - he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Li Qing approached and saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a pink tie, and meticulously combed hair. He pushed away the waiter who was blocking his way with an impatient look on his face.

"Get lost! The owner of Bixiao Restaurant and I are relatives. I can make you quit your job and get lost just by saying a word!"

This person was Xu Longbo, whom Li Qing had met several times.

After seeing it, Li Qing suddenly wanted to run away again, just like seeing a vicious dog that would bite people. No, it was like seeing dog shit. Whose first reaction would be to step on it? He would definitely run as far as he could.

But unfortunately, Murphy's Law is true: what you fear will come true.

When Xu Longbo saw Li Qing, he pointed at him and said:
"Hey you, you know me, tell me where Qingcheng is."

The waiter looked at Li Qing with embarrassment. It would not be good if the manager found out that Li Qing was wandering around casually, but Xu Longbo looked wealthy and noble, so stopping him by force was not an option.

"Alas." Li Qing sighed and said to the embarrassed waiter, "It's okay, go and get busy."

"Just leave this guy to me."

The waiter didn't know Xu Longbo, but Li Qing did. He nodded gratefully to Li Qing, and then stopped trying to stop Xu Longbo.

After watching the waiter leave, Li Qing stretched out his left hand and stopped Xu Longbo, who was about to leave with a normal look on his face.

“Sometimes I really envy you.”

"envious?"

"I envy you that your face won't get frostbitten no matter how cold it is in winter."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Xu Longbo didn’t know what Li Qing wanted to say, he just wanted to go in and find Chu Qingcheng.

He said that you are very thick-skinned, like a dog-skin plaster that cannot be torn off. Li Qing shook his head. He didn't understand the sarcasm and it was meaningless.

"Sorry, this is our crew's location now. It's inappropriate to let an outsider like you in casually." Li Qing said with a smile, "It's not appropriate."

"Oh, who cares about your crew?" Xu Longbo sneered, "I'm just here to find Qingcheng, don't be so self-indulgent, get out of here now!"

Li Qing didn't say anything, and the temperature in the atmosphere dropped for a moment.

Immediately, Li Qing's expression returned to normal, he stretched out his hand to lead the way, and said with a nonchalant smile:

"Please, Mr. Xu."

You wanted to come in, and I've advised you, but if you don't listen, there's really nothing I can do. Li Qing said in his heart.

Looking back at the previous period, Li Qing and his companions are still under police custody because of their in-depth contact with Chimera.

One of the reasons for booking an entire floor of the Bixiao Restaurant was to minimize contact between people. After all, no one knew what the remaining members of [Chimera] were thinking, or whether they would retaliate against the crew members.

At least, Li Qing can be sure that anyone who has come into contact with them will more or less receive attention from the police.

But now, Xu Longbo wants to get in on the action, and even wants to get in touch with the core figure Chu Qingcheng...Captain Chu, who has secretly squinted at him several times, will definitely care.

Li Qing was thinking whether he should 'coincidentally' leave some of the things he had seized from Chimera to Xu Longbo. He was worried that the remnants of Chimera would destroy all the information, so he backed up some of the information in advance, or even stored it and then destroyed it.

He only trusts himself. Chu Tiange from the special task force can be barely trusted, but Li Qing doesn't dare to bet that [Chimera] really has no other power behind the scenes.

However, what Li Qing could not have expected was that Xu Longbo was indeed unilaterally entangled with [Chimera]... It could only be said that it was very unexpected.

After Li Qing let go, Xu Longbo snorted coldly and ignored him, but walked in on his own.
-
"Long time no see! Qianqian!"

Chu Qingcheng greeted Su Qianqian happily, and of course, did not forget Lin Xiaoyu who was standing beside her.

"You too, Director Lin!"

"Hello, Miss Chu." & "Long time no see, Sister Qingcheng!"

Lin Xiaoyu and Su Qianqian greeted each other at the same time and greeted Chu Qingcheng.

Then, Chu Qingcheng stood on tiptoe and looked behind them, wondering, "Why can't I see Li Qing? Isn't he with you?"

"Well, he went to the bathroom." Lin Xiaoyu answered reluctantly, but felt a little strange inside.

When did their relationship become so good? Chu Qingcheng had always addressed Li Qing as Director Li or even Mr. Li in a more distant and polite manner before.

But now, Lin Xiaoyu could clearly hear the familiarity and naturalness in Chu Qingcheng's voice.

It's like... it's like we suddenly changed from strangers to friends, and the way we address each other has naturally changed...

"Really? What a pity." Chu Qingcheng retracted her gaze and pretended to be asking a normal question...

In the hall, a silver-white piano stands quietly in the center, its surface reflecting the light and sparkling with charming luster.

At this moment, a young woman in a black dress was sitting in front of the piano. Her fingers slid gently across the keys, and every note was as clear and beautiful as the gurgling water.

Her playing technique is very skillful, and every note floats in the air like a thread, blending into the air.

The music attracted the crew members closely together. The music spread in the hall and flowed into everyone's heart, injecting infinite warmth and beauty into this space.

The young woman's figure swayed to the rhythm of the music, her fingertips dancing on the keys, as if manipulating an invisible force, making the beautiful melody echo in the hall, and every note blooming into the most beautiful flower.

Well, Li Qing could only feel that it sounded good, but it was a bit difficult to say exactly what was good about it.

However, looking at the piano being played, Li Qing unconsciously moved his fingers and was eager to try.

I want to play the piano...

"Li Qing!"
