Chapter 325 Help
Turn around.

No. 7 Binshan Road.

Bai Mansion.

Bai Xue was sitting on the sofa, holding a book "Family" in her hand, reading it attentively, while Hei Nuo, who had eaten and drunk her fill, lay obediently at her feet.

Mrs. Bai walked downstairs and said as she walked, "Xue'er, you have nothing to do all day long, just reading books. The day is almost here, why don't you feel anxious?"

Bai Xue was helpless: "Can you please be reasonable? Isn't reading a serious matter? Just let it go. What's the use of me getting anxious?"

"You are always right!"

Mrs. Bai couldn't argue with her daughter, so she pretended to kick Hei Niu: "I don't know where you picked up this black little dog, but you insisted on keeping it in the house. Don't you think it's dirty?"

Hei Nuo barked to express her dissatisfaction.

Bai Xue smiled and rubbed the dog's head: "Mom, look, you said it, it's not happy. Hei Niu is so popular. I gave it a bath the day I came. It's clean now."

Mrs. Bai curled her lips and said, "Since you want it, I'll just give it to you as a dowry."

Bai Xue said, "It's just a dowry... Are you going to play cards again?"

Mrs. Bai dressed and said, "We have an appointment this morning, so I have to go... Oh, I won't be back for lunch, so you don't have to wait for me."

Having said this, he left in a hurry.

Bai Xue sighed and continued reading.

After a while, Xiao Cui came in and said, "Miss, Miss Jingshu is here."

Bai Xue hummed: "Got it."

After a while, Jingshu came in, sat down on the sofa, and complained, "You are so mean. You didn't even tell me that the winter vacation was coming. I made a wasted trip to school."

Bai Xue smiled and said, "That's because you are stupid. Why didn't you just call in advance?"

Jingshu said: "People become less intelligent when they are busy."

Bai Xue said, "Then you can't blame me. Jingshu, have you read the book Family? It's a work by Ba Jin."

Jingshu glanced at the book cover and said, "I've read it before. Haven't you read it too?"

Bai Xue said, "I have seen it before, but the feeling is different from now. At that time, we were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and our minds were not mature yet. We just watched it for fun. Now..."

Jingshu said: "Xue'er, I have something to ask you."

Bai Xue said, "Do we still need to ask for something between us? Tell me what's going on."

Jingshu said: "Brother Hao is in trouble."

Bai Xue asked: "Who is Brother Hao?"

Jing Shu said, "That's Liang Hao, my father's apprentice, the one you saw at the entrance of the martial arts hall last time, the one with the big eyes."

Bai Xue suddenly realized: "Oh, him...what happened to him?"

Jingshu said, "Have you heard about the shooting incident at the Mantetsu Hospital?"

Bai Xue said, "I read in the newspaper that there was an internal fight among the rebels. There were five people in total, two died, and three are on the run..."

Halfway through her words, she reacted and looked at Jingshu in surprise: "Is Liang Hao in here?"

Jing Shu nodded: "Fortunately, he escaped. Now he is trapped at home and dares not go out. The secret service department is looking for him."

Bai Xue asked, "Is he really a rebel?"

Jing Shu said with a bitter face: "How would I know? Some time ago, he said something happened at home, and I haven't seen him for a long time... Xue'er, only you can help me with this matter. If Brother Hao is caught by the secret service department, his life will be ruined."

Bai Xue said, "How do you want me to help you?"

Jing Shu said: "Uncle Bai is the director of the police department. It only takes a word from him..."

Bai Xue shook her head gently: "Impossible, my father has always hated rebels. If I tell him about Liang Hao, humph, maybe even I will be suspected."

Jingshu was puzzled: "Why do you suspect me?"

Bai Xue covered it up and said, "It's nothing. He is a suspicious person and thinks a lot."

"Oh, what shall I do?"

Jingshu sighed deeply.

Bai Xue thought for a moment and said, "That's not right. I remember you told me that Liang Hao had been expelled from the sect. Why are you still helping him?"

Jingshu said: "My father is my father, and I am me, one thing is another."

Just by looking at Jingshu's coy expression, Bai Xue guessed what was going on and said teasingly, "You don't like Liang Hao, do you? Yes, that's right, it must be the case. You like boys with big eyes."

"That's impossible..."

Jingshu muttered.

Bai Xue smiled and said, "Your face is red, but you are still stubborn... I remember that there was a boy in the reading club who wrote you several love letters, but you ignored him. It turns out that you have someone in your heart."

Jing Shu hurriedly said, "Xue'er, you have to keep this a secret for me. If my father finds out, I'll be in trouble."

Bai Xue said: "Don't worry about this for now, think about how to save Liang Hao."

Jing Shu was a little disappointed: "It's useless to think about it. I can only leave it to fate."

For a moment, the two fell into silence.

Bai Xue suddenly asked, "You just said that it was the Secret Service Department that was looking for Liang Hao?"

Jingshu said, "Yes."

Bai Xue said: "I'll find a way to deal with this matter. But don't hold your hopes too high. I can only say that I'll do my best."

Jingshu was depressed: "I know. Thank you, Xueer."

Bai Xue comforted him and said, "You don't have to worry too much. There will always be a way out. Think positively about everything. Hey, tell me why Liang Hao was expelled from the sect?"

Jingshu said sullenly, "I get angry whenever I mention this. Some time ago, he met a man from Chaoxian and learned a few moves from Hwarangdo. One time, my dad was sparring with him in Xingyiquan. When sparring, you just need to follow the routines. I don't know what Hao Ge was thinking, but he suddenly used the moves from Hwarangdo and accidentally injured my dad's eyes. My dad got so angry that... Well, it's all Hao Ge's fault."

Bai Xue asked, "What is Hwarangdo?" Jing Shu said, "It's the martial arts of Joseon Dynasty. My father said it's just wild fox Zen, not presentable, so it's useless to learn it."

Bai Xue said: "Wild Fox Zen... then how did it hurt Uncle Ma?"

"........."

Jingshu was speechless.

……

noon.

In the captain's office of the Special Agent Division's operations team, Qi Yue leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Enter."

Qi Yue sat up straight.

As soon as the door opened, Zhao Zhenhai walked in, took out two packs of wooden box cigars from his arms, and placed them on the table: "A friend gave them to me. They are too strong, and I can't get used to them. I know you like them, so I give them to you."

Qi Yue picked up the cigar and took a look at it: "It's obviously smuggled. Thank you. Oh, I was just looking for you. I heard that Mr. Jiang died."

Zhao Zhenhai was very surprised: "Dead? When did it happen?"

Qi Yue said: "The night before yesterday, he was found in the morning. They said he drank too much and died. Where were you the day before yesterday?"

Zhao Zhenhai said: "I went to Fujia Dian."

Qi Yue looked at him: "I meant afternoon and evening, not morning."

Zhao Zhenhai looked away: "In the afternoon, I went to Huifangli..."

"wrong."

"........."

Qi Yue said: "You look so nervous that you can't even remember where you went. Let me tell you, the day before yesterday afternoon, you went to Lianhua Town."

Zhao Zhenhai slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. I don't know what happened these past two days. I always forget things. Yes, I went to Lianhua Town."

"What are you going to do in Lotus Town?"

Qi Yue lit a cigar.

Zhao Zhenhai said: "Um, well..."

Qi Yue said: "Mr. Jiang didn't drink himself to death, you killed him."

Zhao Zhenhai was startled and forced a smile: "Captain, human life is at stake. This is not a joke. Why would I kill him..."

Qi Yue said calmly, "You accidentally killed Jiang Yuying. Mr. Jiang said he was going to file a complaint with the emperor. He was a juren in the previous dynasty and had several old friends in Xinjing. You are worried that once the complaint is filed, it will affect your future."

Zhao Zhenhai's face changed.

Qi Yue suddenly laughed: "He's just an old man, so just kill him. The Secret Service Department killed a few people, so why are you so scared?"

Zhao Zhenhai hesitated: "What do you mean?"

Qi Yue said, "I just want to remind you that you must be careful and cautious in everything you do and don't leave any evidence behind. Oh, you left the city and were seen by my spies. I heard that Mr. Jiang died. You just denied leaving the city, so I guessed it was you who did it."

Zhao Zhenhai breathed a sigh of relief. He had indeed killed Mr. Jiang. He thought he had done it without anyone knowing, but Qi Yue had guessed it. Fortunately, his superior had no intention of blaming him.

At the same time, he was very nervous. This kind of thing could be a big deal or a small matter. If no one reported it, it would be fine. But once it was exposed, it would be a murder case after all, and his identity as a special agent would not be able to protect him.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Xue opened the door and walked in.

Zhao Zhenhai was very tactful: "Captain, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

Qi Yue nodded: "Go ahead."

Zhao Zhenhai stepped back.

Qi Yue looked at Bai Xue: "What's the matter?"

Bai Xue had a straight face and pulled out a chair to sit down: "It's okay, so I can't come?"

"Of course. I mean, if you come to see me, there must be something wrong."

Qi Yue got up and made tea.

Bai Xue said, "I want to ask you for a favor."

Qi Yue turned around and said, "You say."

Bai Xue said, "There is a man named Liang Hao who is trapped in Mashi Street by you. He dares not go out. Can you rescue him?"

Qi Yue said, "You mean the rebel hiding in Pants Alley?"

"Yes, that's him."

Bai Xue muttered quietly, "What an ugly place name..."

Qi Yue said: "I am a soldier and he is a bandit. You want me to save him? Is it possible?"

Bai Xue said, "What color soldier are you? Red or blue? Qi Yue, I know exactly who you are. You know why I didn't report you, and you also know why I rescued Liang Hao."

Qi Yue was silent for a while: "Xue'er, I told you a long time ago, don't get involved in this kind of thing, it's not suitable for you, it's very dangerous."

Bai Xue said proudly: "When you live, you must do something meaningful. If you live a mediocre life and do nothing, what's the difference between being alive and dead? Speaking of danger, isn't what you do dangerous? If it's dangerous, why do you still do it?"

"...Okay, I'll give it a try."

Qi Yue sighed in his heart.

He couldn't convince Bai Xue on this issue.
