After Jiang Chuning fell asleep, Jiang Shanghan covered her with a quilt, picked up the mobile phone beside him, and walked to the balcony outside the living room.
He lit a cigarette, bit it between his lips, and called back the missed call from half an hour ago.
"Master Jiang, Jon has been caught, but he didn't say anything."
Jiang Shanghan hummed lightly and blew out a puff of smoke: "Is there any movement over there at the Qin family?"
"Not yet, but I have already released the news that Jon is in our hands. Those people who were suspected before have sent people to keep an eye on them. Once they react, they can take action immediately."
Jiang Shanghan responded. After hanging up the phone, he dialed another number and ordered: "Completely sort out all Nie Ruhai's information and bring it to me tomorrow morning."
The other end of the phone paused slightly and immediately said, "Yes."
The name Nie Ruhai is both familiar and unfamiliar.
What is familiar is that he was once the unanimous target of all of them.
The strange thing is that this person has been dead for more than ten years.
When Jiang Shanghan returned to the bedroom, Jiang Chuning had already slept so hard that he buried his head in the quilt and curled up into a ball.
He walked over and gently moved her head out.
Jiang Chuning's face was a little red from suppressing it, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, probably because he didn't sleep well.
Jiang Shanghan lifted the quilt, lay next to her, kissed her forehead, and held her in his arms.
He knew that she had not been happy in the past two years.
It's just that the matter has not been completely resolved, so it is safest for her to stay in Switzerland at that time.
…
In the morning, Jiang Chuning and Jiang Shanghan were sitting in the hotel restaurant. She took a bite of the snacks in front of her and whispered to him: "These are not as delicious as the ones I made. I will make them for you when you get back."
Jiang Shanghan laughed silently: "Okay."
Jiang Chuning was halfway through eating when her phone vibrated. She looked at the screen and saw it was Qin Zhaobei calling.
Qin Zhaobei asked: "Are you up?"
Jiang Chuning took the milk from Jiang Shanghan and drank: "Get up."
"Then you go downstairs and I'll wait for you in the lobby."
"Is there a problem."
"Come down quickly. I have something for you. Don't wait any longer. I'm still injured."
Before Jiang Chuning could say anything, Qin Zhaobei hung up the phone.
She held the phone and pouted, put down the milk, stood up and said to Jiang Shanghan: "My friend is here to see me. You eat first. I'll go down and be up soon."
Jiang Shanghan said: "Go."
Jiang Chuning turned around and trotted away.
She arrived at the lobby and after looking around, she found Qin Zhaobei sitting on the sofa playing games.
Jiang Chuning walked over and sat across from her, panting slightly: "You are so early in the morning. Do you have anything to give me?"
Qin Zhaobei didn't even raise his head: "Don't worry, wait until I finish the game."
Jiang Chuning: "..."
She could only sit there and play with her phone boredly.
After a few minutes, Qin Zhaobei finally finished playing the game and picked up the bag next to him and gave it to her.
Jiang Chuning was confused: "What is this?"
Qin Zhaobei said: "Apology gift."
Jiang Chuning: "?"
Qin Zhaobei said: "I admit that my attitude towards you in the past two days has not been good enough, and you were kidnapped by them because of my involvement. I can't help but feel sorry for you."
Jiang Chuning smiled when he heard this and put the paper bag aside: "It doesn't matter, aren't we friends? In that case, even if they didn't tie me up, I couldn't leave you alone.
What's more, I don't think there's anything wrong with your attitude. If this happened to me, I wouldn't be in a good mood."
Qin Zhaobei stared at her quietly: "I think you are in a good mood these past two days."
Jiang Chuning tilted his head, noncommittal.
He changed his position and asked: "Are you going home?"
"Go back today."
Qin Zhaobei said: "Then why don't you treat me to a meal before you leave?"
As he spoke, his eyes stayed behind her and continued word by word, "Take your boyfriend with you."
Jiang Chuning didn't notice anything, but just analyzed: "Now that I'm in Shanghai, it seems it's your turn to treat me to dinner."
Qin Zhaobei said nonchalantly: "Anyone can invite me. Anyway, I will go to you later, and you can't rely on me for this meal."
A smile appeared on Jiang Chuning's face, and he opened his mouth without making a sound.
She was a little hesitant, wondering whether she should tell Qin Zhaobei that her home was actually in Jiangzhou.
Qin Zhaobei stood up: "Then I'll leave first. I'll send you the address for dinner later. See you in the evening."
He slowly withdrew his gaze, turned around and left without looking back.
Jiang Chuning stood up, and when he was about to go upstairs, he found Jiang Shanghan standing not far away.
She trotted over: "Why are you down here?"
Jiang Shanghan's eyes stayed in the direction Qin Zhaobei left: "Do you still have breakfast?"
Jiang Chuning shook his head: "I won't eat anymore."
She followed Jiang Shanghan's gaze and said at the same time: "That is the friend I met in Switzerland, Qin Zhaobei."
After saying that, she tentatively spoke again: "He said, can we have dinner together tonight?"
Jiang Shanghan looked at her: "Do you want to go?"
Jiang Chuning nodded lightly: "I have always told him that I am from Nancheng, and he also said that he would come to play with me later. I think I should tell him the truth."
Jiang Shanghan said: "Then go."
Jiang Chuning hugged his arm happily: "Then let's go upstairs and change clothes."
Anyway, they have to stay in Shanghai for one more day, so they can go shopping.
While changing clothes upstairs, Jiang Chuning sent a message to Qin Zhaobei.
Jiang Chuning: [You said before, what are the fun places in Shanghai? Send them to me.
】
After a few minutes, Qin Zhaobei returned her smile.
Jiang Chuning replied with a circle of thanks.
She changed her clothes and picked up her phone. Qin Zhaobei had already given her several online guide links.
Jiang Chuning went in and looked around one by one, and found that there were only a few scenic spots mentioned.
She saved it, then left the room and saw Jiang Shanghan standing there on the phone.
Jiang Chuning took out a mirror, looked at it, and applied another lipstick.
Soon, Jiang Shanghan came over after calling: "Are you ready?"
Jiang Chuning nodded: "I have already prepared a strategy, let's go!"
In fact, the guide was made in a hurry, and with less than a day, Jiang Chuning chose two or three places that were mentioned online as must-visit places for couples.
Since it was a working day and also in the morning, there were not many people in these popular places.
Jiang Chuning handed the phone to Jiang Shanghan and said, "Please help me take better pictures."
After saying that, he ran under the building and gestured happily.
Jiang Shanghan took a few pictures of her, and Jiang Chuning ran over to look at them, flipped through them and said reluctantly: "Xiu Xiu is okay."
She didn't have much hope for him at first.
When Jiang Chuning ran to the next place, the assistant who was following him came up: "Master Jiang, how about you stand with Miss Jiang and I take pictures for you?"
