Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

Tang Yu watched from the side, her eyes filled with a smile. Qin Ming and these two would definitely be friends for life.

"Stop being silly, have a seat, order whatever you like today!"

Qin Ming invited the two to sit down, and then looked at Tang Yu with tenderness.

"These are Lin Tao and Li Dabao, whom I often mention to you. Although they both have some flaws, they are indeed friends worth having."

Tang Yu extended her hand to them with a graceful smile and said.

"Actually, we met that night, but I didn't know your names then. Today I can finally get to know you properly."

Lin Tao and Li Dabao exchanged a few more jokes and laughter before sitting down opposite Tang Yu and Qin Ming.

"Sister-in-law, can you really be a little more casual today? I think you're the one who calls the shots at home now!" Li Dabao blinked and said with a mischievous look.

Tang Yu smiled and responded.

"That's right, your Section Chief Qin listens to me now. If I say east, he wouldn't dare go west. At home, I'm the one who calls the shots."

So order whatever you like today, Old Qin will have no problem with it!

As soon as he said that, Lin Tao couldn't help but chuckle.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lao Qin, I never thought you'd be henpecked one day!"

Qin Ming remained calm in the face of Li Dabao and Lin Tao's teasing, completely unfazed by their laughter.

"Only those who love their wives can have a smooth and happy life. Don't envy me."

This made Lin Tao and Li Dabao laugh even harder. They kept teasing Qin Ming, saying that after today, they wouldn't have such a good opportunity to tease Old Qin anymore.

As the group was chatting animatedly, the restaurant owner came over with the menu.

"What are you all chatting about? You seem to be having a great time, not even in a hurry to order?"

"Boss lady, do you see? There's a loving newlywed couple here."

Didn't you have a promotion where couples could get a discount on meals if they took photos together? This is a real, genuine couple. Is that promotion still running?

After Lin Tao finished speaking, the proprietress laughed in surprise.

"Congratulations! It's not easy for lovers to finally get married."

"The discount has been cancelled, but since you're regular customers, how about I give you a 20% discount later?"

Lin Tao and Li Dabao exchanged a glance, a hint of smugness flashing in their eyes. They quickly picked up the menu and began to study it with great interest, determined to make the most of the meal.

After ordering a table full of dishes, and the proprietress left with the menu, Lin Tao suddenly changed the subject.

"Sister-in-law, when are you and Lao Qin getting married? I'll have to start saving up to give you a big red envelope!"

"You're overthinking it. It seems Section Chief Qin isn't planning on having a wedding," Li Dabao replied quickly, having already asked about it before.

Qin Ming nodded silently after hearing this, confirming, "We really don't plan to have a wedding."

Lin Tao looked puzzled; he loved lively weddings.

"Why? It just feels like something's missing when you get married without a wedding ceremony."

Tang Yu took over the conversation and began to explain.

"Qin Ming and I have rather special circumstances. He went to an orphanage when he was young and had no relatives around him, and my parents have also passed away."

In our view, the wedding ceremony isn't that important.

Qin Ming reached out and gently took Tang Yu's hand, his eyes sparkling with a smile.

"Instead of spending a lot of time and energy preparing for a wedding, it would be better for the couple to travel and relax, and see the world."

Lin Tao and Li Dabao exchanged a glance. Although they still felt some regret, they expressed their understanding.

"Alright, as long as you two are happy, that's all that matters. After all, it's your life to live."

Lin Tao raised his teacup and said with a smile.

"Come on, let's wish Lao Qin and his wife a sweet and loving life together from now on!"

After clinking glasses, the group chatted and laughed, and the conversation naturally turned to cases that the police station had previously handled.

Lin Tao was about to speak when he suddenly realized his mistake, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

"Won't this topic make your wife uncomfortable? How about we change the subject?"

"I'm already married to Section Chief Qin, do you think I don't know what his job is? Don't worry, I can talk to him about any kind of gruesome case."

Tang Yu remained calm and spoke in a relaxed tone.

These words completely put Li Dabao and Lin Tao at ease, and the group then began to chat enthusiastically about those strange and unusual cases.

Before long, the dishes they ordered were served one after another.

Lin Tao and Li Dabao rubbed their hands excitedly upon smelling the enticing aroma of the food, eager to dig in.

Tang Yu picked up the freshly delivered plum juice, thinking of pouring everyone a glass to relieve the spiciness.

After all, half of the dishes on the table are spicy, and I reckon everyone will find them too spicy to handle.

However, after Tang Yu poured everyone a glass of plum juice, she had only taken a sip when alarm bells went off in her head!

Someone put a drug in the plum juice!

Chapter 13 Forensic Doctor Qin Ming 13

Tang Yu remained calm and composed on the surface, drinking the plum juice that had been laced with a drug.

He chatted and laughed with Lin Tao and Li Dabao, seemingly unaware of the approaching danger.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Qin Ming, informing him of her discovery and plan.

"That person made a move; there was a drug in the drink. I suspect the person behind it is either the restaurant owner or a kitchen staff member."

We'll use a counter-strategy to lure them out.

After sending the message, Tang Yu pretended to bump Qin Ming's arm casually, then picked up her food and started eating as if nothing had happened.

Upon receiving the message, Qin Ming's gaze instantly darkened, and his aura turned cold.

But he quickly regained his composure, and when he looked up, his face was full of smiles as he continued chatting with everyone.

The couple laughed even more heartily, and Qin Ming, who was usually quiet, took the initiative to start talking, enthusiastically recounting many cases from before Li Dabao arrived.

His vivid description made the atmosphere even more heated, to the point that Lin Tao couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Qin, marriage really can completely change a person! Your smile tonight almost blinded me!"

"Yes, our Section Chief Qin is usually so aloof, but he becomes so lively and enthusiastic after meeting your wife. Come on, let's toast to love!"

Li Dabao chimed in, and after speaking, he couldn't resist teasing Lin Tao.

"Captain Lin, don't you feel ashamed? Old Qin is already married, and you, why are you taking so long to propose?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tao, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately retorted.

"I'm taking things one step at a time, and I'll get married sooner or later! But some people don't even have a partner, and they still have the nerve to criticize me!"

The two of them went back and forth, neither willing to give in, and started their bickering session.

While Tang Yu was quietly serving food to Qin Ming, she was also listening intently to what was happening outside.

During those half hours, no new customers came into the restaurant; on the contrary, more and more people left.

They couldn't see what was happening outside from inside the private room, but Tang Yu could hear it.

If I'm not mistaken, there's most likely a sign outside the restaurant saying it's closed.

This is really interesting. Besides the restaurant owner, who else could have such great ability to do so many things in such a short time?

Tang Yu had seen the restaurant owner when she ordered the food; she was a young and beautiful woman.

Because the restaurant was close to the police station, Qin Ming and his group often ate there and became somewhat acquainted with the proprietress, but they didn't have much interaction with her otherwise.

But now, this person has gone to great lengths to drug the restaurant and clear out all the other customers. What is his intention?

Also, could the person who guided Qin Ming to investigate the truth behind his father's death also be this landlady?

Tang Yu had many guesses in his mind, but he couldn't verify any of them at the moment.

So all we can do is wait for the drug to take effect, and then play along to see what this person is up to.

Suddenly, Qin Ming stood up unsteadily, his voice weak: "Yu Yu, I feel dizzy and nauseous... I'm going to the restroom first."

Tang Yu immediately realized what was happening and quickly got up to help him.

Just then, the two seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground together.

Lin Tao and Li Dabao, who were on the opposite side, were shocked and their eyes widened. At this moment, their vision also began to blur.

"Brother Bao, I feel like something's not right. I think I'm about to faint. We haven't even had many drinks..."

Before Lin Tao could finish speaking, he collapsed straight down.

Li Dabao instinctively picked up her phone to call the police, but her eyelids felt like they were filled with lead, too heavy to lift.

The moment she took out her phone, a strong wave of dizziness overwhelmed her like a surging tide.

The world before her eyes spun around her, and then she plunged into an endless abyss of darkness.

Time passed quietly, and an hour later, icy cold water splashed down on Tang Yu, Qin Ming, Lin Tao, and Li Dabao.

The four men were suddenly jolted awake from their unconsciousness to find themselves locked in a dark and cramped warehouse.

The rough ropes were wrapped tightly around their bodies like pythons, making every inch of their skin ache, and their bodies were bound so tightly that they could not move.

At this moment, the proprietress, Chi Zi, stepped slowly out of the shadows with her arms crossed, a twisted sneer on her face, looking down at them.

"You're finally awake. I've been getting impatient."

Lin Tao and Li Dabao were shocked, their eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

"Boss lady, what's going on? When did we offend you?" Lin Tao was full of confusion.

Li Dabao also asked, puzzled.

"Yes, we often come to patronize your business, what do you mean by this!"
