Breakfast was served, and the unexpectedly clean stoneware dishes contained several exquisite snacks. Steaming hot, snow-white large buns, green pickles, and white porridge that looked soft, waxy, and delicious.
It looks pretty good, and it smells, well, like home-cooked rice.
"How is it? Not bad!" Gu Ruoqian couldn't see the change in Cen Yu's thick eyebrows, so he asked her with a smile.
Cen Yunong refused to admit defeat. He just raised his eyebrows and said harshly: "You won't know until you eat it whether it's good or not."
Lao Xu, who was standing nearby, silently handed her a pair of chopsticks. Cen Yunong took them and found that the chopsticks were covered with a cover made of white gauze. It was delicate and could prevent dust.
This store looks very crude, but I didn't expect that these utensils and other things are hidden in elegance.
What kind of store is this?
Cen Yunong took off the white gauze and took a thoughtful sip of the white porridge. Unexpectedly, the white porridge immediately amazed her taste buds.
She never thought that a seemingly ordinary bowl of white porridge could be so delicious!
Not to mention that the rice in this bowl of porridge is boiled just right, soft and glutinous, and melts in your mouth. Just talking about the soup base of this porridge, it must have a great background. Cen Yunong stayed at Gu's house for a while, and it's delicious.
Having eaten a lot, I naturally know some expensive ingredients.
It’s just this ingredient…
The white soup base seems to be made from abalone, but it doesn't seem to be the same. What could it be? Besides, seeing as this stall is so simple, you shouldn't be able to afford the soup made from abalone!
But the taste is so fresh and sweet. Except for seafood, nothing else can stand up to such a rich and sweet soup!
Cen Yunong was wondering, but when she raised her head, she saw Gu Ruoqian smiling at her. The proud look seemed to say, what's up, you are defeated! I told you to look down on me!
She curled her lips, wanting to regain her composure and stop drinking, but she still couldn't fight her greed. She said to Lao Xu in a hopeless voice: "Boss! Have another bowl!"
Lao Xu limped over, with an apologetic smile on his honest face: "Sorry, everyone here only sells one bowl of porridge a day."
Why?
Cen Yunong's eyes clearly expressed his question.
But Lao Xu waved his hand, saying that this was a family heirloom mystery that could not be told outside. But Cen Yunong refused to admit defeat. When Lao Xu went to add porridge to Gu Ruoqian, he jumped into the shed to see what the secret was.
What kind of soup ingredients can be used to make such a delicious pot of porridge?
How things happened, Cen Yunong had no memory of it later.
All she knew was that not long after she got in, she heard a loud boom, as if something hit the ceiling above. Then she was violently pulled out of the shed with a strong force.
Just when she was thrown to the ground, she saw with her own eyes that the shed in front of her collapsed suddenly.
Fortunately, it was a simple wooden shed, so there was not much damage. But the fright was far from over.
When the shed collapsed, a female corpse slowly slid down from the roof of the shed and landed softly at Cen Yunong's feet.
A pool of thick blood slowly soaked into the soil where Cen Yunong's footsteps were. When the smell of blood and the smell of soil mixed together, Cen Yunong couldn't help but feel sick no matter how well-educated he was and how calm he was.
The inside was churning, and with one mouthful, he vomited out all the food he had eaten in the morning.
"Ah -" the screams came from some pedestrians watching.
It seemed that they were stunned by this sudden tragedy, and everyone was stuck there unable to move. It wasn't until Cen Yunong's vomit woke everyone up that a few girls let out high-pitched and sharp screams!
Cen Yunong also wanted to scream, but apart from vomiting, she couldn't find the extra mouth to scream.
It wasn't until a pair of warm hands lifted her up that she had the strength to take a deep breath.
"Is everything okay?" Gu Ruoqian held Cen Yunong's petite body firmly from one side, with deep concern in his tone.
Cen Yunong had no choice but to lean on his broad chest, wrinkled her sour brows, and said softly: "I'm fine."
Gu Ruoqian hugged her whole body and gently patted her tight back to help her relieve her nervousness.
While comforting Cen Yunong, Gu Ruoqian calmly observed the tragic scene in front of him.
Lao Xu's shed had been completely crushed, and the culprit was the female corpse that fell from a height.
Judging from the blood stains on the ground, this woman should have jumped from a high place and fell directly on Lao Xu's stall. So the tall building opposite...
Gu Ruoqian looked up and found that it was the Eagle on top of the clouds.
But he looked at the dress of the woman lying on the ground and saw that she was indeed not an employee of Genting Eagle.
So, what is going on?
Obviously, Cen Yunong, who had come back to her senses, had also thought of this. She looked at Gu Ruoqian and said softly: "Who would go to the rooftop of Yunding Eagle and jump off? Have you offended someone?"
Gu Ruoqian frowned slightly and shook his head: "I don't know. Genting Eagle has fought so many lawsuits, and it is inevitable that there will be some lawsuits that harm the interests of the other party. Usually others come to make troubles and cause trouble, but this is the first time.
"
Cen Yunong also frowned, unable to think of any leader. However, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Lao Xu's pale face, and in addition to fear, there was also a trace of sadness hidden in his eyes.
Grief...
Wait, why does he feel sad? Could it be that he is related to the deceased woman?
Just as Cen Yunong was speculating in his mind, the police car rushed to the scene of the crime. Several police officers explained their origins ably and quickly sealed off the scene. Cen Yunong, Gu Ruoqian and Lao Xu, because they were
The first witness was invited to the police station to take notes.
Although Gu Ruoqian and Cen Yunong were barristers themselves, because they were both frightened, Genting Eagle naturally sent people to follow them to the police station.
The person in charge of Cen Yunong is Jack, and the person in charge of Gu Ruoqian is his most capable general, John.
Due to Gu Ruoqian's popularity in City S, the police were very polite. They just asked a few routine questions and were ready to let them go when they saw that it didn't matter.
Cen Yunong took a deep breath and was about to leave when a man suddenly rushed in and headed towards Gu Ruoqian.
No one had time to prepare, and saw the man take out a dagger and stab Gu Ruoqian's lower abdomen viciously!
What happened was so sudden that everyone had no time to prepare and could only watch helplessly as the man stabbed Gu Ruoqian in the stomach with a bright dagger!
It's too late, it's faster than that!
I saw Cen Yunong standing next to Gu Ruoqian. Under the instinct of self-defense, he reached out and grabbed the shining dagger!
"Ah! Yu Nong!" Everyone was shocked, never expecting such a thing to happen! All they could do was stay there and stare.
Jack was the most sensitive, but he could only shout loudly, but his hand had not yet reacted!
After Cen Yunong held the dagger in her hand, she seemed to have just realized what she had done! She was startled, but saw the murderer's eyes showing a fierce light again, as if he wanted to take out the dagger in her hand and stab him again!
She secretly screamed, but she couldn't let go. Before she could warn everyone, she saw the tall gangster being hit from behind. Suddenly, his body went limp and he collapsed heavily on the ground.
Only then did Cen Yunong let go of the hand holding the dagger. For a moment, he could only see blood dripping, and he was covered in cold sweat.
She had been frightened today and her strength had long been exhausted. When she saw the gangster being subdued, her legs could no longer support her and she was about to fall forward.
But at this moment, he happened to fall into a hug.
"Is it you?" The voice next to my ear sounded slightly familiar, and the strength of the arms seemed familiar.
Cen Yunong struggled to look up, only to see Gao Feng's frosty dark eyebrows come into her eyes.
"It's you." Cen Yunong only said these two words to Gao Feng before his consciousness disappeared.
When I woke up again, my hands were already covered with thick white gauze. The slightest movement would cause heartbreaking pain.
Cen Yunong groaned twice, and tears kept falling from the pain.
Hearing her moans, someone immediately came over, with deep concern in their voice.
"What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
Cen Yunong struggled to turn his head and saw Gu Ruoqian's handsome face. He suddenly remembered that he was injured because he was meddling in other people's business. He saved him, but he might have lost his own hand!
A heart-breaking pain came from his right hand. Cen Yu's anger rushed into his heart. He couldn't help gritting his teeth and said fiercely: "Everywhere hurts! Come here! I'm going to hit you!"
Gu Ruoqian actually came to her hospital bed obediently, stretched out the right side of her face to her, and said gently: "Hit her as much as you want."
"You!" Cen Yunong didn't expect that Gu Ruoqian would actually extend his face to her and smile so tenderly. It seemed like it was such an honor to be beaten by her.
hateful!
If he refused to let her hit him, she would do it. He came to his door so willingly, how could Cen Yunong be able to do it?
After all, that was also her subconscious reaction at that time. If her consciousness could give her a choice, she would definitely not choose to save him!
Therefore, this is not actually a sign of her own fearlessness, but just the result of her trained vigilance.
So, she can actually not vent her anger on Gu Ruoqian!
After thinking about it angrily, Cen Yunong finally took her fist away and closed her eyes angrily, not wanting to look at his handsome and annoying face.
It's really unlucky when I think about it, as if I have bad luck. As long as I get contaminated with anything related to the Gu family, I will be unlucky again and again!
Cen Yunong secretly swore in his heart that he would never have any close relationship with a man named Gu again.
While thinking bitterly, Cen Yunong felt a warmth on his shoulders, but when he looked back, it turned out that it was Gu Ruoqian who had put a blanket on him.
She was a little stunned, clearly seeing the flash of warmth in Gu Ruoqian's chestnut eyes.
