Chapter 178 Waiting for the rabbit
Xie Lingxi frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he suddenly asked.
"Have you and Lan Ye finished telling me what I need to say?"
Qiao Er nodded immediately: "I have said everything according to the young lady's instructions. Ge Xinghua should understand, right? But if she understood what we meant, shouldn't she jump out and surrender? Why did she go back to the Ge family again?"
When she said this, Qiao'er seemed to have thought of something.
"Could it be that Ge Xinghua wants to deal with the Ge family on her own and then seek credit from Madam Yang? But what ability does she have to deal with the Ge family? Besides, she didn't even inform us in advance. Even if she took action against the Ge family, we wouldn't think that she was venting her anger on our behalf. Isn't Ge Xinghua having some crazy ideas?"
No matter how she thought about it, something didn't seem right, so Xie Lingxi decided not to waste time on Ge Xinghua.
Anyway, didn’t Lan Ye follow them?
Waiting for the news...
Xie Lingxi always felt that Ge Xinghua shouldn't be that stupid. Why did she follow Ge Guihua back? She must have other plans.
There will be news soon, Xie Lingxi said.
"Okay, let's wait until Lan Ye comes back. There's no rush. Anyway, my aunt is staying at the Yang family now. I just told my uncle about the possible bad intentions of the Ge family. My uncle promised me that he would cooperate with me to protect my aunt."
"So my aunt is safe now. The Ge family is not superhuman. As long as we guard them tightly, they can't get in. We are not in a hurry to deal with the Ge family. We should take our time. We have to make them feel heartbroken!"
Qiao'er felt that what the young lady said made sense and nodded immediately.
"Miss is right, I will listen to you!"
Yunsi Restaurant.
As a restaurant frequented by dignitaries and wealthy families in the capital, it does have some strength and its business is very good.
Although it is morning and not yet lunchtime, there are still many people in the restaurant.
At this time, Ma Yue and Sun Laiyun were sitting at a table near the door in the lobby, facing each other, but their expressions were different.
Ma Yue, the minor official in the Ministry of Justice, looked at Lord Sun Laiyun, who was sitting opposite him with an unhappy look on his face, and did not dare to speak.
But the atmosphere at the table was really tense. Ma Yue still gritted his teeth and took the initiative to pour Sun Laiyun a cup of tea and said.
"Well, Lord Sun, the constant coming and going of people must be tiring for your eyes. Why don't you take a break? Let me take a look. I have good eyesight."
Sun Laiyun gave Ma Yue an unpleasant look.
"I remind you that this matter cannot afford to make mistakes. Did you remember it wrongly? Or did you miss it? The task that Master Qin assigned to us is not difficult. If you can't even find the person, then the things you said before are not enough to prove it. Are you deliberately playing tricks on Master?"
After hearing this, Ma Yue's expression changed immediately and he looked anxious.
"Lord Sun, I can..."
"Keep your voice down!"
Seeing that he was getting excited and was about to speak loudly again, Sun Laiyun reminded him in a bad mood.
Ma Yue then realized something. He lowered his voice, looked around vigilantly, and said with a bitter smile.
"Sir Sun, I didn't lie. Everything I said was true. I didn't want to get involved in this matter, but I didn't expect it to be related to Miss Liu's case. In short, I definitely didn't lie, and I didn't make fun of you. I don't dare to do that."
"Master Sun, it's not that easy to find someone. After all, I don't know where those servants are from, and I don't know if they will come to this restaurant again. If you are really tired, you can take a rest and I will keep an eye on it."
"Anyway, I know their faces. As long as they show up, I will definitely be able to recognize them. I will call you then. What do you think?"
Until the end, Ma Yue kept looking at Sun Laiyun's expression and spoke carefully.
Sun Laiyun was indeed a little unhappy, but this was a task assigned to him by his superiors after all. If he failed to do it well due to tiredness or impatience, or if something went wrong, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
He was just complaining just now, and seeing Ma Yue's cowardly look, Sun Laiyun also found it boring.
Thinking that the other party didn't have the guts to lie, Sun Laiyun calmed down.
"Alright, I'm just a little anxious, so I said all this. Don't take it to heart. I believe everything you say. And if what you say is true, Miss Liu's case is of great importance, and the truth must be revealed."
"It's not only to redress Miss Liu's grievances, but also to vent the anger of our Lord Qin... Forget it, there's no point in telling you this."
As he spoke, Sun Laiyun realized that he had said too much, so he quickly stopped talking.
Ma Yue seemed unaware of this and took the initiative to pour tea for Sun Laiyun again. Sun Laiyun had his stomach full of tea and didn't want to drink it at all, so he refused it.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a lot, Ma Yue dared to speak and smiled.
"Master Sun, don't worry. After all, the capital is not big, and those people are quite conspicuous. I will definitely recognize them."
"However, speaking of those servants I saw, if they were really Guo Xiong's drinking buddies, then they could be one of the murderers. They shouldn't be so bold as to come out and flaunt themselves, after all..."
As Ma Yue spoke, he looked towards the door, and then his voice stopped abruptly. When he saw clearly that two people dressed like servants walked in from outside the door, he was stunned.
"What's wrong? Why don't you talk anymore?"
Sun Laiyun frowned and asked, then he followed Ma Yue's gaze and noticed the two servants, and immediately became alert.
The two of them tacitly did not move, pretending to drink tea, but secretly glanced at the two servants who came in.
The two servants were both very plump, not as skinny as other servants. It was obvious that they ate well. If they were not wearing servants' clothes, one would have thought they were local rich men.
Of course, what matters most is not their size, but their words and deeds.
When the two servants came in, they were arm in arm, chatting and laughing. Most importantly, their behavior was not like that of servants from a wealthy family. They were as unkind as the street thugs, which was really eye-catching.
One of the leaders raised his hand and spoke in a rather arrogant tone.
"The shopkeeper? Where is the shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper came out to greet them immediately upon hearing the noise. Seeing that the two men were obviously familiar to him, he bowed and stepped forward.
"Hey, isn't this Wu Ye's brother? You're here so early today. Brother Cai Liu, Brother Cai Qin, what do you want today?"
The leading boy smiled.
"I, Cai Liu, don't want anything, but our Fifth Master does! Boss, today we are here to pack up your Yunsi Restaurant's signature dishes. Bring me all of them. We need to take them back quickly to serve to our Fifth Master!"
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded.
"Yes, yes, I'll go down and prepare right away. Please wait a moment, brothers!"
After saying that, he called a waiter to give the order personally.
