Jiang Li and Pei Qi arrived late, and the food hadn't been served here yet, but Grandma Wang and the others were already ready to eat.

Grandma Wang put a plate of small crispy pork in the middle and said:

"Xiao Yu'er, Captain Pei, let's eat together!"

Jiang Li was really hungry, so he was not polite to Grandma Wang.

"Thank you, Grandma Wang!"

Jiang Li took a small piece of crispy meat and handed it to Pei Qi before eating it himself.

The meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth after one bite. The ginger carp ate happily, and his eyes were bright.

“I’ve long heard that the crispy pork in this hot pot restaurant is different from other restaurants. It’s really crispy and fragrant.”

"Pei Qi, try it quickly!"

Pei Qi didn't like fried food, but seeing Jiang Li so excited, he still tasted it.

“It’s really good, very crispy!”

Jiang Li looked at him, his eyes narrowed with a smile, like two crescent moons.

Seeing this, Wang Aotian felt depressed and his temper was rising, but in front of his grandparents, he did not dare to do anything, so he tasted a piece of crispy meat and said in a strange tone:

"It's so crispy! Why is it so soft when I eat it?"

Grandma Wang gave him a look:

"We all taste crispy, but you don't taste crispy. What's wrong? Is your mouth wet?"

Wang Aotian was attacked again, and he lowered his head to eat angrily.

Pei Qi seemed to understand Wang Aotian's thoughts. After the food was served, he would add vegetables to Jiang Li's plate from time to time.

Jiang Li didn't dislike Pei Qi's chopsticks at all, as long as he accepted everything he brought and took back the food he didn't like.

The two are so close that they really look like a couple.

Jiang Li and Pei Qi enjoyed the meal, but Wang Aotian became more and more angry.

Originally, his grandparents came out to have hot pot to commemorate their 50th wedding anniversary. He shamelessly followed them. Unexpectedly, he also met Jiang Li and Pei Qi. How could this meal be as satisfying as he wanted!

After suffering for nearly an hour, the meal was finally over.

"Xiao Yu'er, grandma and grandpa still want to cross the road, so I won't send you back. Next time you have time, come to our house for dinner."

"Well, goodbye Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang!"

After bidding farewell to the old couple, Jiang Li and Pei Qi were going to walk around the mall to eat, but as soon as they got off the escalator, they saw Wang Aotian chasing after them.

"Jiang Li, wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Li asked.

Wang Aotian glanced at Pei Qi, and Pei Qi said consciously:

"I'm going to buy you milk tea, just in front."

"Okay, I'll find you later."

After Pei Qi walked away, Jiang Li looked at Wang Aotian:

"If you have anything to say, say it!"

Wang Aotian pursed his lips and hesitated for a while before asking:

"Are you and Pei Qi together?"

Jiang Li was stunned for a second and then sneered: "Whether I am with him or not, does it have anything to do with you?"

"Of course!" Wang Aotian looked at Jiang Li with trembling eyes:

"Jiang Li, although...although I don't want to admit it, I really seem to like..."

Before Wang Aotian finished speaking, Jiang Li interrupted him:

"Captain Pei and I are not together, but I do like him a little bit. I'm not sure whether we will be together in the future, but I can be sure that it is impossible for me and you!"

The things Wang Aotian did to her for Jiang Zihan in her previous life are still vivid in her mind, and she cannot forget them.

Not to mention this, Wang Aotian also tried to hurt her for Jiang Zihan in this life, so she and Wang Aotian can never be together.

"Wang Aotian, you should know what you have done to me before? I have no masochistic tendencies, and it is impossible to fall in love with someone who has hurt me!"

Although he had long known that Jiang Li's answer would be this, Wang Aotian was still heartbroken after hearing it with his own ears.

"I know I did a lot of bad things to you in the past. It's right for you to hate me. I know I shouldn't have such extravagant expectations."

Wang Aotian smiled bitterly, and then asked:

"Then can we be friends?"

Jiang Li didn't answer, but his cold eyes gave him the answer.

"I know, I won't bother you again!"

Wang Aotian turned and left. Before leaving, he bowed solemnly to Jiang Li:

"Jiang Li, I'm sorry, I apologize for what I did to you before!"

Jiang Li watched him leave, thinking of the past, and suddenly felt relieved.

Pei Qi came back with milk tea:

"What did he tell you?"

Jiang Li took the milk tea and said with a smile, "I won't tell you."

Pei Qi: "I can guess even if you don't tell me, that boy likes you, right?"

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows: "Is it so obvious?"

Pei Qi: "This is a man's intuition."

Jiang Li: "Then guess how I responded to him?"

Pei Qi pretended to think seriously for a while and then said seriously:

"I guess you must be saying: Wang Aotian, I already have a crush on you, I can't possibly like you, just give up!"

Jiang Li chuckled:

"Who does my heart belong to? Captain Pei, who does my heart belong to?"

Jiang Li approached Pei Qi and looked at him with burning eyes, piercing into his heart like a ray of light.

Pei Qi's heart was beating faster and faster. Jiang Li was so close to him that he could smell her breath.

"Jiang Li, I..."

Before Pei Qi could say anything, he heard an exclamation coming from upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, a figure crossed in front of his eyes and fell.

There was just a thud, and before anyone could react, the person had already fallen to death.

When they saw the dead people, everyone ran away and people gathered around to watch.

Pei Qi immediately went downstairs to maintain order, while Jiang Li looked up. Wang Aotian's frightened look stood out among the crowd.

Jiang Li frowned. Didn't Wang Aotian go downstairs just now? Why did you run to the fifth floor?

And his expression, why is there so much fear? Was he related to the deceased?

Before Jiang Li had time to observe Wang Aotian, he quickly squeezed through the crowd and disappeared.

Soon the police cordoned off the scene.

Pei Qi inspected the deceased's body, found the ID card from his pocket, and confirmed his identity.

"Feng Mingzhe, male, twenty-three years old."

"Calculate the mall surveillance to see if he has any companions and who was around him when he fell. Check them one by one. Quick!"

Jiang Li told Pei Qi what he had just seen Wang Aotian:

"Let's focus on investigating him. Something was really wrong with him just now."

"Okay, I understand. I may not be able to take you back. I'll give you a taxi. You go home first!" Pei Qi said.

Jiang Li: "No, I might be able to help here!"

"Okay, there are too many people here, why don't you go check the surveillance with Xiao Liu!" Pei Qi said.

Jiang Li stayed because he wanted to help, and he understood that Pei Qi didn't want her to come into contact with the bloody heart at the scene, so he agreed.

There are many surveillance systems in the shopping mall. In addition to the surveillance systems in place, there are also merchant surveillance systems. Jiang Li and Xiao Liu called them all out to watch.

The surveillance in the cinema hall on the fifth floor captured the clear process.

The surveillance footage showed clearly that Wang Aotian did know the deceased, and the two had an argument at the time of the incident. However, before the deceased fell from the building, he was completely blocked by Wang Aotian.

Wang Aotian turned his back to the camera and seemed to push him. But how could such force make an adult man fall over the guardrail of the shopping mall?
