Chapter 229 The Smoking Dog
Knowing that Jiang Li and Pei Qi were in the video, Lin Xi deliberately shouted so loudly and spoke so ambiguously.
Jiang Li and Pei Qi also knew that he did it on purpose. The former sighed helplessly, while the latter was speechless.
"Childish trick!" Pei Qi snorted coldly.
Jiang Li chuckled and said, "Okay! It's too late. You should rest quickly. I see you look very bad!"
Ma Liangcai was involved in too many cases, and there was a lack of capable people in Jinling, so Pei Qi was so busy these two days that he barely slept for a few hours.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qi went to bed.
Jiang Li came to the bathroom door: "Did you really forget your clothes?"
Lin Xi opened the door a crack, revealed half of his face and said with an embarrassed smile:
"Sister Li, I really forgot."
"Isn't there a bath towel inside? You can't wrap it up, do you have to ask me to get it for you?"
Jiang Li squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Xi's increasingly guilty expression through the crack in the door.
"Um...the bath towel can only cover the lower body. I saw you in the living room, so I was afraid of embarrassing you!" Lin Xi argued.
Jiang Li gave him a roll of his eyes, then turned and left.
Seeing this, Lin Xi quickly wrapped herself in a bath towel and ran out, but as soon as she left the bathroom, Jiang Li threw his underwear in his face.
"Yo? It's not embarrassing now!" Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and smiled dangerously.
"Ha ha……"
Lin Xi scratched his hair in embarrassment, then quickly picked up his pants and ran back to the room.
A minute later, he came out fully dressed and looked at Jiang Li carefully:
"Sister Li, are you angry?"
Jiang Li was closing his eyes to rest. When he heard Lin Xi's question, he replied calmly:
"Yes, I'm angry."
Lin Xi apologized quickly:
"Sister Li, I know I was wrong, and I won't target Pei Qi anymore!"
Jiang Li opened his eyes and looked at him:
"Lin Xi, I've said it many times, I have nothing against you..."
Lin Xi interrupted Jiang Li:
"Sister Li, I know that you have no feelings for me as a man or a woman. You only treat me as your younger brother!"
"I know all this, and I also know that among me, Shi Kui, Luo Heng, and Pei Qi, you have only ever had feelings for Pei Qi!"
Lin Xi fell silent after speaking.
After a while, he lowered his head and apologized: "It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have joked about this kind of thing."
Jiang Li knew that Lin Xi was just responding to Pei Qi childishly, without much thought, but his behavior was wrong, even if there was no malice.
If there were people around Pei Qi who knew them during the video just now, gossip would inevitably spread after hearing Lin Xi's words.
Jiang Li would have thought it didn't matter before, but not anymore.
Pei Qi's father, Pei Chengyun, is in a high position and is the person in charge of the fly sweep operation. If his son is gossiped about, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble for the mission.
Jiang Li told Lin Xi exactly what he was worried about, and Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.
"Sister Li, I didn't think so much, I'm sorry! I will never do it again!"
"Is there anyone else around Pei Qi just now?" Lin Xi asked quickly.
"No, he answered the phone in the hotel!" Jiang Li said.
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if not."
At this moment Jiang Li also lost his temper and did not blame him again.
"Go to bed early, we have something to do tomorrow!"
"Ok!"
Jiang Li and Lin Xi went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, the two slept until noon. Jiang Li felt refreshed, but Lin Xi rolled on the bed all night because Jiang Li was angry and didn't get much sleep.
During lunch, Jiang Li looked at Lin Xi's dark eyes, frowned and asked:
"You didn't sleep well last night?"
Lin Xi nodded reluctantly: "Yes."
Jiang Li: "Because I'm angry with you?"
Lin Xi nodded and shook his head: "Because you are angry, and even more because I did something wrong and made you angry."
Jiang Li laughed helplessly: "Fool, am I so angry?"
Lin Xi looked at Jiang Li pitifully, like an injured puppy.
"Okay! I've stopped being angry a long time ago. I made a fuss out of a molehill last night. Pei Qi and I haven't finalized our relationship yet. It's so easy for gossip to spread!"
Hearing what Jiang Li said, Lin Xi finally got rid of the gloom.
"Eat quickly!"
Jiang Li pushed the dish in front of Lin Xi. At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the husky and the daughter of the owner of the smoked meat shop.
The place where they ate was not far from the smoked meat shop, and they came here mainly to inquire about the situation and see where they lived.
The girl took the dog into the supermarket and bought some things, and then seemed to be going home.
Jiang Li stood up quickly: "Lin Xi, Qiongqi, don't eat. Let's follow up and take a look."
The two people and the dog followed them all the way to a community with small villas, and watched the girl lead the dog into one of the small villas.
"Is this smoked and roasted meat shop so profitable?" Jiang Li muttered.
Lin Xi: "This is Mingjiang, and the housing prices are different from those in the Imperial City. I estimate that a small villa like this only costs more than two million. The smoked and roasted pork is a local specialty. It's okay to make a little money."
Just as he was talking, the girl came out again, this time without the dog.
Jiang Li and Lin Xi hid in the dark, watching the girl leave, and were about to follow her when they suddenly heard a click.
They looked into the yard and saw the husky pushing open the door, standing upright, and walking like a human.
Not only that, it also sat on a deck chair in the yard, holding a cigarette in its paws and smoking.
Lin Xi's eyes widened in shock. If he hadn't covered his mouth in time, he would have screamed.
"Sister Li, it actually walks like a human and even smokes!!"
Lin Xi tried his best to lower his voice, but the dog-man seemed to be aware of it and immediately looked towards the wall where they were hiding.
Sensing that the dog man was slowly approaching, Jiang Li signaled Lin Xi and Qiong Qi to retreat.
They pressed against the wall and slowly moved away from the villa.
The dog man didn't see anything, so he returned to the lounge chair and continued to smoke and enjoy his leisurely life.
After going out, Lin Xi couldn't help but said in surprise:
"This is the first time I've seen a dog that can walk upright and smoke. It's so scary!"
Qiongqi raised his front legs and patted Lin Xi's legs:
"How come it's the first time that I can walk upright!"
Lin Xi's head was full of black lines: "Qiongqi, are you so used to being a dog that you forgot that you are actually a dragon?"
Qiongqi: "..."
What this says...makes sense!
Jiang Li: "We now know its location. Just come here at night and wait for it to take off its dog skin."
Arriving at the parking place, Jiang Li was about to get in the car when an exclamation came from behind him:
"Hey, little sister, it's you!"
Jiang Li turned around and saw that the person coming was the daughter of the owner of the smoked meat shop.
Today, the blackness on her face is more obvious than last night, and her face does not look good.
Jiang Li smiled slightly: "What a coincidence, I meet you again."
The girl stretched out her hand: "I didn't have time to introduce myself last night, my name is Quan Qingya!"
Jiang Li politely extended his hand and responded: "My name is Jiang Li!"
"You don't look too good. Is it because you haven't had any rest?" Jiang Li asked.
Quan Qingya sighed: "Don't mention it. Maybe it's because Qiqi has been causing me trouble these past two days. I can still dream about it in my nightmares, so I didn't sleep well at night."
