Chapter 205 Murder in the Wild (48)

Cao Tianyuan shook his head: "I didn't see Yiran when I came back to get the medicine, and I didn't see Team Xiao either. They should have come here after I got the medicine."

Xu Yinglei looked at him thoughtfully.

Xu Yinglei walked to the door of Qin Chuan's office, looked up at the door plate, thought for a moment, and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door when it suddenly opened.I saw that Qin Chuan was about to go out with the car keys in hand, when the two bumped into each other head-on, both were a little surprised.

Xu Yinglei laughed: "After so many years, we still have a tacit understanding."

Qin Chuan didn't answer, and took a step back calmly: "What's the matter with Mr. Xu?"

Xu Yinglei seemed to have expected such a reaction from him long ago, so she was not angry, and asked instead: "You just let me stand at the door and say? Don't invite me to a meal? Xinchuan is your territory anyway, and you shouldn't do everything you can. friendship?"

Qin Chuan didn't change his face: "I have something to do tonight."

The smile on Xu Yinglei's face finally became unstoppable, and her eyes became aggressive: "Is there always time for a cup of coffee?"

Qin Chuan glanced at the time and nodded.

Xu Yinglei deliberately chose a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window, and Qin Chuan took a seat opposite Xu Yinglei.

The waiter came to order, and before Qin Chuan could open his mouth, Xu Yinglei said on her own, "Two glasses of iced Americano, no sugar or milk."

Qin Chuan frowned slightly: "Director Xu, what do you want from me?"

Xu Yinglei said to him from left to right: "Is your mother okay? I haven't seen her for many years. I said I wanted to visit during the Spring Festival. I don't know if she is in the capital or came to Xinchuan."

Qin Chuan: "My mother is very busy, and she doesn't have much rest during the Spring Festival. Let's just talk about business."

Xu Yinglei finally showed her displeasure: "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are so impatient with me? You were not like this back then..."

Qin Chuan raised his wrist and looked at his watch impatiently, he didn't seem to want to talk to her about these things: "Director Xu, the discipline inspection team sent you down to investigate the case, not to care about other people's personal life, right?"

Xu Yinglei stared at Qin Chuan, her eyes flushed slightly: "Are you someone else?"

Qin Chuan's impatience was ready to come out: "Director Xu, I thought that after a few years, you should have matured. I have said the word of refusal many times before, and I don't want to repeat it now. I hope you can pay attention to your sense of proportion and don't be affected by your personal emotions. Work, Director Xu."

When Qin Chuan said the last three words, he emphasized them a bit, deliberately distanced himself from Xu Yinglei.

Xu Yinglei almost choked up: "Can you stop talking to me like this?"

As Xu Yinglei said, she grabbed Qin Chuan's hand across the table: "I have only you in my heart for so many years, why can't you give me a chance?"

Qin Chuan suddenly withdrew his hand and stood up abruptly.

At this time, Jiang Wenchi also walked into the coffee shop and stood at the bar to order: "A cup of hot lemon tea, take it away, thank you."

After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. He took a closer look and saw Qin Chuan and Xu Yinglei standing next to each other. One had red eyes, and the other had impatient brows. He probably guessed the clue.

Jiang Wenchi thought for a while, and said to the waiter at the bar: "Add another glass of the same, thank you."

On the other side, Qin Chuan hadn't noticed that Jiang Wenchi had entered the coffee shop, so he said seriously to Xu Yinglei: "If Mr. Xu has no business to discuss, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Xu Yinglei was about to hold him back. Jiang Wenchi walked up to Qin Chuan and Xu Yinglei with two cups of hot lemon tea.

Qin Chuan looked at Jiang Wenchi, and was about to say something, but was blocked by Jiang Wenchi's eyes.

Xu Yinglei was a little embarrassed, she smiled at Jiang Wenchi, and moved into the sofa, but Jiang Wenchi sat directly next to Qin Chuan.

Xu Yinglei was taken aback: "What a coincidence."

Jiang Wenchi: "It's not a coincidence, this store is almost becoming the tea room of our team."

Jiang Wenchi said, and put the steaming hot lemon tea on the table: "The best drink in their house is actually lemon tea."

After speaking, he said to Qin Chuan, "You are making that cup."

Seeing her calling Qin Chuan by his first name, and a trainee police officer not even addressing her as captain, Xu Yinglei's heart rang alarm bells, and her eyes when she looked at Jiang Wenchi were no longer friendly.

Qin Chuan glanced at Jiang Wenchi's hot lemon tea, took it over and drank it without hesitation: "Then I'll drink yours first."

Jiang Wenchi raised her eyebrows. Although she did have this intention, she never expected that Qin Chuan would get her meaning so quickly, and the cooperation was very tacit.

Jiang Wenchi gave Qin Chuan an appreciative smile in satisfaction.

Qin Chuan also looked at her with a doting smile in his eyes.

Xu Yinglei watched the interaction between the eyes of the two, and felt the unspeakable intimacy between Qin Chuan and Jiang Wenchi.

Taking another look at the iced Americano in front of Qin Chuan, she realized that Qin Chuan hadn't taken a sip. Xu Yinglei's tone was a bit bitter: "It seems that you have changed your taste."

Before Qin Chuan could speak, Jiang Wenchi blinked: "Mr. Xu doesn't know? He has a bad stomach, and the doctor won't let him eat cold food. Aren't you old classmates and old partners? I thought you knew him very well."

Xu Yinglei was taken aback, then looked at Qin Chuan: "Have you told her all about it?"

Qin Chuan nodded: "I have nothing to say to her."

At this time, the waiter came over with another cup of hot lemon tea.

Waiter: "Officer Jiang, your hot lemon tea."

Jiang Wenchi took it with a smile, and handed it to Xu Yinglei: "Director Xu, please try it, it's really delicious."

Xu Yinglei stared at Jiang Wenchi, said nothing to Qin Chuan, "Drink slowly, I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, before Qin Chuan could speak, she picked up her bag and got up to leave.

Jiang Wenchi looked at Xu Yinglei's back as if fleeing, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, so he looked at Qin Chuan and asked, "Am I a bit too much, and it's not her fault that I like you."

Qin Chuan blinked: "So it's my fault?"

Jiang Wenchi shook his head: "No one is wrong, I just think that liking someone is precious, and I don't think I should treat her like this."

Jiang Wenchi said, sighed, and muttered: "I'd better apologize to her when I see her tomorrow."

Seeing how she looked, Qin Chuan felt inexplicably soft in his heart, and couldn't help touching the short hair on top of her head: "I didn't realize that your heart is so soft?"

Jiang Wenchi pouted: "I'm only soft-hearted towards girls."

Qin Chuan's eyes widened: "Why?"

While speaking, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene of Wu Qiqi holding Jiang Wenchi in the lobby of the Beijing Hotel, and inexplicably twitched in his heart: "Little Jiang, are you... all normal?"

Jiang Wenchi didn't understand, so he asked, "What?"

Qin Chuan thought about it, and finally choked out a word: "That's it, orientation..."

Jiang Wenchi stared at him for a while, then laughed out loud: "Your imagination is really rich!"
