Fang Xiaoya smiled at Lao Wu: "What? Yang Yong, Lao San, don't you know me?"
"Ah--" the third child exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Fang Xiaoya, why are you here?"
The third child knew about Fang Xiaoya's return to China. It was such a big deal that Fang Zhengtai passed away in a car accident, so Fang Xiaoya would naturally come back, but he didn't expect that Qiao Liang would bring Fang Xiaoya to dinner today.
"What's wrong? Third child, I can't come to your dinner with Qiao Liang? You're not welcome?" Fang Xiaoya took a small pink fist and punched Third child in the chest.
The third child scratched his head and smiled: "Yes, of course I can. Welcome, warm welcome. Hey, Xiaoya, I haven't seen you in 8 years. You are even more beautiful."
"The third child is really good at talking, I like it." Fang Xiaoya said with satisfaction.
Then the third child invited everyone to sit down and ordered the waiter to serve the food and drinks.
"I'm going to wash my hands first." Fang Xiaoya went out.
"What's going on? Why is Fang Xiaoya here?" the third child asked Qiao Liang.
"She happened to call me when I came. She heard that I was having dinner with you and insisted on coming, so she came."
The third child nodded and then laughed: "Fang Xiaoya was very interested in you back then. Now that you have met, are you going to rekindle the old relationship?"
"Fuck you." Qiao Liang punched Lao San.
"What a pity, you are a married man now, Fang Xiaoya may have already started a family, and you are not free men." The third child said with emotion.
Qiao Liang felt bitter in her heart and said nothing.
After a while, the food and wine were served, and Fang Xiaoya also came back. While drinking, everyone talked about old friendships with classmates.
When she learned that the third child had now opened a private detective agency, Fang Xiaoya's eyes lit up and she blinked a few times.
"Xiaoya, you returned to China this time to take over the leadership of Chint Group from your father. Did you come back alone?" asked the third child.
Fang Xiaoya nodded: "Nonsense, who else can I bring if I don't come back myself?"
"You haven't gotten married after all these years?" The third child was stunned, and Qiao Liang was also surprised.
Fang Xiaoya glanced at Qiao Liang and smiled lightly: "I have been walking alone for the past eight years."
The third child glanced at Qiao Liang, and Qiao Liang looked at Fang Xiaoya blankly. It turned out that she had been single all along.
"Why?" Qiao Liang said stupidly.
"If I don't have a suitable umbrella, then I would rather continue to get wet in the rain." Fang Xiaoya picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine.
Qiao Liang found that what he was asking was boring. When he was in college, he felt that Fang Xiaoya was a persistent idealist. Her character has not changed after so many years.
The third child looked at Fang Xiaoya, then at Qiao Liang, blinked, and picked up the wine glass: "Here, let's drink to Qiao Liang for coming out."
Everyone did it together.
Then the third child looked at Qiao Liang: "Lao Wu, what kind of bad luck did you have? Why were you suddenly transferred from the newspaper office to the propaganda department?"
Qiao Liang shook his head: "I am also very confused about this matter. The new Minister Xu said that he had been familiar with me for a long time and appreciated my abilities, so he transferred me to the department. In fact, he didn't know me at all before. I used to
I only met him once, and I never even spoke to him or held his hand."
"Hey, this is interesting." The third child became interested, "Could it be that some expert is helping you behind the scenes? That expert is more powerful than Minister Xu, so Minister Xu has to listen to him?"
Qiao Liang looked confused. He didn't know any experts. His closest supporter was Li Youwei. Now that he was in, he naturally had no chance to speak for himself.
Fang Xiaoya gave the third child a thumbs up: "The third child is a detective after all, and his analysis makes sense."
Qiao Liang scratched his head and murmured: "But I really don't know any expert. If this is the case, then who is this expert? Who will help me?"
The third child frowned: "Well, it seems that there is a lot of mystery in this matter. I will help you sort it out later."
Fang Xiaoya smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter whether he is a good person or not. Anyway, Qiao Liang came out of the mountain, and the location is not bad. Qiao Liang, I am really happy for you. Come on, I respect you."
One drink for you."
Qiao Liang believed that Fang Xiaoya's happiness came from the bottom of her heart and had a drink with Fang Xiaoya.
At this time, Fang Xiaoya's cell phone rang. When she saw that it was the group, she hurriedly went out to answer the call.
Qiao Liang and Lao San continued to drink.
"Lao San, your trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand this time is not for tourism, but what business do you do?" Qiao Liang asked casually.
"Entrusted by a client to investigate extramarital affairs." Lao San said as he picked up a crab and ate it.
"Oh, is the subject of the investigation male or female?"
"Female."
"What does this woman do?" Qiao Liang became interested.
The third child rolled his eyes: "Abide by professional ethics and keep confidentiality."
"Damn it, forget it if you don't say it." Qiao Liang was a little disappointed.
"Hey, in order to investigate the evidence of this woman's cheating, I had to go to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand with a tour group at my own expense." The third child smacked his lips after eating the crab.
"I guess this customer is this woman's husband, right?" Qiao Liang said.
"Nonsense, it's not that my husband is doing nothing to investigate, but this husband is very cunning. He didn't come forward himself and entrusted someone else to come forward to find me. Although he didn't come forward, I know that this woman is definitely not the client's wife." The third child was proud.
"How did you know?" Qiao Liang was curious.
"It's very simple. After I investigated, I found out that the client is single and has no wife. Moreover, I easily found out who this woman's husband is." The third child grinned.
Qiao Liang smiled and nodded: "I wonder what this husband's intention is in investigating his wife?"
"I guess this husband wants to change his wife. I can find evidence of his wife's cheating so that I can have a reason for divorce."
"Why do you guess so?"
"Because this woman's husband is an official with a successful career. These days, it is popular to become an official and make one's wife die."
"Official? How big an official?"
"In the right place."
Qiao Liang was shocked, and suddenly remembered that Ji Hong had just returned from Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand yesterday, at the same time as the third child, and that Chu Heng was in the right place and was enjoying success in his official career.
Could it be that the target of Lao San's investigation is Ji Hong? It was Chu Heng who found someone to entrust Lao San to investigate?
It's impossible. Ji Hong and Chu Heng seem to have a good relationship, and Ji Hong is quite pretty. How could Chu Heng think of changing his wife?
But what Lao San said was so consistent with Chu Heng and Ji Hong, how could it be such a coincidence?
Qiao Liang stared at the third child and suddenly said: "Is that woman's name Ji Hong?"
"How do you know?" Lao San blurted out, then shut his mouth tightly.
Qiao Liang suddenly felt dizzy. Damn it, he had guessed it!
The subject of Lao San’s investigation turned out to be Ji Hong, and the person who entrusted Lao San to investigate Ji Hong turned out to be Chu Heng!
Why does Chu Heng want to divorce Ji Hong? Is it because of emotional discord and dislike of the old when there is a woman outside? Or is it because Chu Heng has always wanted a son but failed, and the reason lies with Ji Hong?
If it's the latter, it's understandable.
If it's the former, then who is Chu Heng's new woman?
Thinking of the subtle behavior of Ji Hong and Chu Heng when she was joking at Chu Heng's house last night before leaving, Qiao Liang frowned. Could it be that Chu Heng deliberately stopped living as a couple with Ji Hong for a long time, deciding that it was a time of strong demand?
Ji Hong will be horny and look for a man while traveling, so he arranges for someone to follow him to investigate and find evidence of Ji Hong's cheating to get a divorce?
Qiao Liang was a little shocked and confused. He looked directly at Lao San: "Have you found any evidence?"
The third child shook his head, stopped talking, and picked up another crab to eat.
Qiao Liang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Why? I don’t know.
Qiao Liang originally wanted to ask Lao San to help investigate Zhang Mei's cheating today and find out who the adulterer was, but then he suddenly changed his mind and decided to postpone it for a while.
Qiao Liang himself couldn't explain why he suddenly changed his mind. Maybe it was just some subconscious intuition.
Sometimes intuition is very scary, but this kind of intuition makes Qiao Liang afraid to face it, and even feels extremely scared.
