The Qin Family
The Qin family, young and old, sat around the long table, the atmosphere was harmonious.
"I thought the old man wouldn't make it past this year, didn't expect he's so lucky to live again." Qin Zhengfeng said feelingly.
The Eldest of the Qin Family said: "You have a natural life, next year will be even better, don't talk about demoralizing things."
The family celebrated the old master Qin's new lease on life.
Old Master Qin was a man of few words, usually very majestic. Today, New Year's Eve, he said a few more words: "Let's eat."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks.
Qin Hanyue, who was looking down at his phone, suddenly stood up, and then under the puzzled and strange looks of his family, he took out his phone, held up the camera, and took a picture of the sumptuous reunion dinner.
The Qin family looked at each other.
Qin's mother asked: "Hanyue, you’re...taking pictures? To remember?"
Second sister-in-law: "Posting on Moments?"
Qin Yan, who was sitting with Qin Yuchen, shook his head silently, a knowing expression: You're all wrong, please listen to the correct answer next.
Qin Hanyue: "Taking pictures for Qiao Ying."
As soon as everyone heard this, those who had picked up their chopsticks put them down again.
The meat that Qin family’s second child had just picked up was put back on the plate: "Take a few more shots. Are we also taking pictures?"
Qin Zhengfeng said seriously: "Should we take a family portrait?"
After saying that, he tidy up his clothes.
Family portrait? Qin Hanyue glanced at his family members, sat back in his chair: "No need, take one later."
Qin Hanyue sent the photo to Qiao Ying:【Happy New Year】
Looking up at his family, he said, "Dig in."
In the hotel,
Huo Chengdong was eating, his eyes kept looking back and forth at the three people.
Finally, he couldn't help asking: "Sis Ying, why do they call you boss, did you join Cheng Jinyan's gang? Or were you kidding me, you didn't actually go on vacation with Qin Hanyue, but went to recruit followers. Are you still recruiting? Are there any hard requirements to join the team? Do you need to pay?"
Qiao Ying: "Your ability to jump in thoughts is quite strong, and your imagination is not bad either, you have the talent to study law."
Huo Chengdong: "Is this praising me?"
Sack was obviously disgusted: "Obviously not."
Huo Chengdong: "You can speak Chinese! Why didn't you answer me when I kept talking to you in the car?"
Sack glanced at the dirty Huo Chengdong and ignored him.
Qiao Ying looked down to check Qin Hanyue's message.
After opening the picture to take a look, she then looked up at the table of food in front of her, and casually sent back a photo.
Qin Hanyue received the photo and was about to ask Qiao Ying where she was eating, when he discovered there were people sitting across the table in the photo.
The picture opened and enlarged, there were indeed people sitting across the table, and they were men, more than one, there was also a pair of chopsticks on the table to the left.
Cheng Jinyan went to Southeast Asia, Ye Si returned to M Country, because something came up, Ye Si left first. At that time in the camp, he had clung to Qiao Ying for more than half an hour, with hugs and flying kisses. As for him, there were warnings and threats.
Qiao Yi and Qiao's father were in Yuncheng. Who could they be?
Qin Hanyue: 【With friends?】
Qiao Ying: 【Sack Bai Xiao, just arrived】
Qin Hanyue understood, guessing that the reason Qiao Ying called the two over from M State was because of Shadow.
She had killed the Ace of Spades and King of Hearts of Shadow, they must take action, and she had to take care of the safety of her younger brother Qiao Yi, she needed help.
This made Qin Hanyue feel much more at ease. He was afraid that Qiao Ying would fight alone.
Qin Hanyue: 【New Year's Eve, it’s good that you're not alone. Don't worry about Heishui, I’ll have people help keep an eye on things】
Qiao Ying: 【Um】
Huo Chengdong had just eaten two bites when his phone rang. His father roared on the phone, asking where the hell he had died.
Old Master Huo said that he would break his legs when he came back.
"Sis Ying, my dad is asking me to go back home for dinner. I have to go first. I bought single tickets for you guys, eat slowly, call me if you need anything." Huo Chengdong hurried away.
"Everything in Heishui has been handed over to Bademan, John has also returned, with God's Arms watching over, everything in Heishui is very good, and a lot of fresh blood has also been absorbed." After Bai Xiao explained the affairs of the corps, he asked, "Boss, why did you call us over from M State, is there something you want us to do?"
"I killed two senior Shadow figures, they want to take revenge on me, I have a younger brother going to school..." Qiao Ying told the story in a few words.
Bai Xiao and Sack were stunned as soon as they heard the first sentence.
The reason Qiao Ying called the two over was to have them be responsible for Qiao Yi's safety. Although Qin Hanyue's people had been secretly protecting Qiao Yi, it was far from enough. Also, it’s more handy to use her own people.
When she was in M State, Qiao Ying had told Bai Xiao that she had a feud with Shadow, but this was the first time Sack had heard of it.
Seeing Sack's reaction, Qiao Ying asked with a smile, "Scared?"
Sack replied, "What's there to be afraid of?"
It just made him run all the way from M State to this civilized city to be a bodyguard for some kid, and Sack was a little unhappy.
I hope it's not some snot-nosed kid who's just started kindergarten and still pulls down his pants, and he'd have to carry and run when there's danger.
"Why do you have a feud with Shadow? Did my previous boss...did Nameless also have a grudge against Shadow? Was she killed by Shadow?" Sack felt more and more that this was possible, and got excited along with it.
With their boss’ skills, apart from Shadow, Sack couldn’t think of anyone else in this world who could move her.
Bai Xiao also looked to Qiao Ying.
Qiao Ying asked him, "If so, do you want to take revenge?"
Sack sat up straight: "Of course!"
Qiao Ying smiled approvingly: I knew I didn't pamper you for nothing.
Qiao Ying: "Then help me take good care of him, there will be opportunities to deal with them."
Is this an indirect admission?
Bai Xiao drank some wine and looked at the table full of dishes, couldn’t help but feel a little emotional: "Can't remember how many years it's been since I celebrated the New Year. In previous years in M State, we simply didn't even remember these holidays."
Qiao Ying thought of the red envelope Qin Hanyue had given her and said, "As the boss, shouldn't I give you red envelopes?"
Sack: "What is that?"
Qiao Ying: "Auspicious good stuff. Hurry up and eat, take a bath after eating, you really don't look good."
Sack looked down at himself: "......"
After the three finished eating, they took the elevator downstairs. Sack, who had been living in M State for who knows how many years, couldn’t remember when was the last time he returned to a civilized city and saw normal people living normal lives.
He fell behind, looking around at the luxurious hotel.
As he walked out of the elevator, his arm was suddenly bumped by someone. Sack turned to see it was a greasy old man.
The old man was dressed in a proper suit, and was followed by quite a few people, some friends and some bodyguards.
The old man spoke fluent English, reached out in concern to ask Sack if he was hurt, and apologized to Sack.
Sack sidestepped to avoid the old man's reaching hand, stared at him unpleasantly, then turned and strode to catch up with Qiao Ying.
Unexpectedly, the old man and his group followed.
The old man's friend blocked Sack, "Little brother, after bumping into someone, you left without even an apology?"
Sack expressionlessly asked in Chinese, "What do you want?"
The old man came over to smooth things out. He told Sack, "My friend just had some alcohol, didn't mean to scare you. Uncle is fine. I’m more concerned about you, were you hurt from the bump just now? Why not come upstairs with uncle and let me take a look? If it's a heavy bump, uncle will compensate you."
The guys in M State rarely saw a few females for years on end, so they would eye the more delicate and fairer same sex.
When Heishui was in trouble, Sack was no stranger to harassment.
I didn't expect that even in this civilized city, there would still be such trash.
Bai Xiao walked over to see what was going on.
Seeing through the old man's intentions, his friend insinuated to Sack, "Little brother, you're lucky today, Mr. Huang doesn't just care about anyone. Everyone cared for by Mr. Huang has flown up to become a phoenix. Can you foreigners understand what I'm saying? If you don't, come upstairs, Mr. Huang will personally explain it to you."
Sack's fists creaked loudly, "Get lost!"
Bai Xiao blocked Sack behind him and said in a low voice, "This is not M State, don't make trouble." Bai Xiao wanted to lead him away.
But the other party refused to let him go, and even reached out to pull Sack.
Bai Xiao warned them, then pulled Sack away.
That old man was obviously aroused. He directly followed them with his bodyguards, with an intimate look as if wanting to "make friends".
Seeing the angry Sack walking over, Qiao Ying said, "Why come back, go beat them up."
Sack looked at the group of people following them, but said nothing.
Qiao Ying: "As long as you don’t beat them to death, I’ll cover for you."
Sack looked at Qiao Ying, then turned around and headed towards those people.
