wind in the dark night

Chapter 167

Bai Peicen looked at his daughter, then at the car that had not turned off, and said lightly, "Jingshu brought you back, right? It's so late, let her go back early to rest, and don't need to get out of the car to say hello."

Hearing this sentence, Qi Yue sat still.

He was driving a car from the police department. Although it was hung with a civilian license plate to disguise his real identity, insiders should be able to recognize it at a glance.

Obviously, Bai Peicen had other plans, he didn't want Qi Yue to appear at this moment.

Bai Xue came to the car window.

Qi Yue smiled, and the car sped away.

Bai Xue didn't turn around until the car turned a corner.

Yu Jincheng stepped forward: "Miss Xueer, hello."

Bai Xue said, "Hello."

Bai Peicen said: "Xue'er, why did you come back now, and didn't say to call home, your mother kept talking about you, and she didn't have dinner well."

Bai Xue said: "I went to watch a movie."

Bai Peicen said, "Then we should make a phone call."

Bai Xue said: "The movie starts at six o'clock and ends early. I don't think it's necessary to call. Besides, I'm not a child..."

Bai Peicen's face darkened.

Bai Xue shut up.

Yu Jincheng said: "Director Bai, I still have something to do, so let's go first."

Bai Peicen said, "Be careful driving on the road."

"I will. Goodbye, Miss Cher."

Yu Jincheng got into the car.

Bai Xue walked closer: "Thank you that day."

Yu Jincheng sighed: "Miss Xue'er, you're being polite to me, but you're paying me no attention. For such a small matter, I've gone back and forth. I've thanked you many times."

"Well, this is the last time."

Bai Xue said with a smile.

Yu Jincheng also smiled: "That's fine."

"Goodbye."

Bai Xue waved her hand.

Yu Jincheng said, "See you tomorrow."

Bai Xue didn't react for a while.

The car has already driven away.

"Xue'er, let's go."

Bai Peicen entered the courtyard gate.

Bai Xue caught up and asked, "Director Yu just said, see you tomorrow, what does that mean?"

"Oh, tomorrow isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Jincheng is coming to my house for dinner."

Bai Peicen explained.

Bai Xue said, "Why?"

Bai Peicen glanced at his daughter: "In Isabella, if it weren't for Yu Jincheng, you almost got into an accident, shouldn't you invite someone to dinner?"

Bai Xue said: "I didn't say I shouldn't. I just think that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a family member. It's not appropriate to invite an outsider, right?"

Bai Peicen said: "Yu Jincheng is from Shanghai. His family is not in Binjiang. During the holidays, he is alone. He was invited here out of concern."

While talking, the father and daughter entered the living room.

Mrs. Bai waited impatiently. Seeing her daughter coming back, she hurriedly said, "Xue'er, you're back. From now on, where do you go?"

Bai Xue said in a muffled voice, "Understood."

Mrs. Bai told Xiaocui: "Miss must be hungry, hurry up and bring the food."

Bai Xue said, "I ate outside."

Mrs. Bai said: "I don't know if the food outside is clean. If you eat something bad, you will suffer. What did you eat?"

Bai Xue said: "Japanese cuisine, it's clean."

Mrs. Bai asked again: "Who did you eat with?"

"...Jing Shu."

Bai Xue hesitated.

Bai Peicen put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Where did Jing Shu's family get a car? Xue'er, lying is not a good habit, tell the truth!"

"Together with Qi Yue."

Bai Xue whispered.

Mrs. Bai frowned: "Which Qi Yue?"

Bai Xue suppressed a smile: "Little brother in August."

Mrs. Bai was stunned: "What?"

Bai Peicen said impatiently: "Who else could it be Qi Yue, the one from the police station, the one who danced with Xue'er! Sigh, you are so slow!"

Mrs. Bai was stunned for a while, then said cautiously: "Xue'er, I heard from Jing Shu that you broke up with Qi Yue, didn't you? How did you get in touch again?"

"That's Jingshu's understanding, I never said it."

Bai Xue twisted her slender fingers.

Mrs. Bai looked at her husband: "What's the matter?"

Bai Peicen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Xue'er, what do you think of Yu Jincheng?"

Bai Xue said, "Very good."

Bai Peicen asked, "What's the best way?"

Bai Xue thought for a while: "Humble, steady, polite, and decent."

"Our Xue'er knows how to read people!"

Mrs. Bai smiled.

Bai Peicen said: "Through multiple understandings and observations during this period of time, I think that among his peers, Yu Jincheng is definitely worthy of the word "junjie" in all aspects, both externally and internally! As the saying goes, close to Zhu Zhechi , those who are close to ink are black. Xue'er, such an excellent person, there is no harm in getting in touch with him..."

"Daughter is educated. I'm tired, good night."

Bai Xue walked upstairs.

Mrs. Bai was about to stop her.

Bai Peicen motioned for her to sit down.

He heard the door opening and closing upstairs.

Mrs. Bai asked, "Why are you stopping me?"

Bai Peicen said: "Xue'er's character is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. You can't be too tough on her. Everything should be handled slowly. In terms of emotional matters, it depends on fate. Besides, I don't want my own Daughter marrying someone she doesn't love at all."

Mrs. Bai praised: "You are still thoughtful."

Bai Peicen's face was solemn: "It's hard to tell whether you are thoughtful or not. By the way, we should prepare as much as possible for tomorrow's menu. Yu Jincheng saved Xue'er, so we have to thank him very much."

Mrs. Bai said, "Don't worry, we have already arranged it."

Bai Peicen said, "That's good."

Mrs. Bai thought for a while: "Actually, I think that Qi Yue is also very good, and he is no worse than Yu Jincheng... Or, let's just stop getting involved and let Xueer choose by herself. What do you think?"

Bai Peicen said, "It's best to be Yu Jincheng."

Mrs. Bai asked, "Why?"

Bai Peicen said, "I don't understand even if I tell you."

"I don't know anything, you know everything!"

Mrs. Bai got up and went upstairs.

Bai Peicen sighed softly.

The mid-autumn festival banquet for Yu Jincheng was to express his gratitude on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to match his daughter and Yu Jincheng's marriage.

In fact, as Mrs. Bai said, when it comes to various conditions, Qi Yue and Yu Jincheng are on par, and Bai Peicen has no objection to this.

Nowadays, it is very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Although the Puppet Manchukuo government clearly stipulates that public servants are not allowed to take concubines, there are not a few people who keep foreign houses in private, and Bai Peicen is one of them.

In his opinion, Qi Yue has a lover, which is nothing at all, and who can guarantee that Yu Jincheng will not mess with women secretly?
When it comes to choosing a future son-in-law, the reason why he favors Yu Jincheng is because he has the handle, which is the book "The Age of Resistance".

One hundred thousand rounds of ammunition went missing. The seriousness of this matter has already been demonstrated. Just this afternoon, the Kwantung Army Command announced that the ammunition was missing due to the defection of its subordinates and surrendered to the enemy. As a minor, he was removed from his post and changed to the deputy captain of the gendarmerie.

Even Shibuya Junichiro was not spared, and was called to the headquarters overnight to receive admonition. As the chief of the secret service and the deputy chief of the police department, he was also responsible for negligence, which also confirmed one thing—anyone Involved in it, it is impossible to retreat completely.

Yu Jincheng had read the book "The Era of Struggle", and he must have had an impression of the handwriting. With his method, it would be very easy to get Bai Xue's handwriting. When the time came, he would inform the Japanese and ask Bai Peicen to hand over the original manuscript. That was a big trouble.

If Yu Jincheng married Bai Xue.

This big trouble is no longer trouble.
