The cannon fodder girl is rebellious, and she is a fool to catch ghosts and win.

Jiang Li came out of the reception room, leaving space for the family to say goodbye.

Sitting on the bench outside the door, Jiang Li stared at the dark sky outside in a daze.

At this time, Pei Qi came over:

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Li chuckled: "I don't think so, I just envy Wang Aotian."

Pei Qi was surprised: "Why do you envy him? Is he stupid and timid?"

Jiang Li: "He doesn't have many good qualities, but his family is very good to him. Even though Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang always say they dislike him, they actually feel sorry for this little grandson in their hearts. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang do too."

"Don't be envious, you are pretty good too!"

"Although your parents... no, the Jiang family is probably not very good, but you used to have a grandfather who loved you, and now you have us..."

Pei Qi curled up his lips: "I mean me and your other friends, such as Zhuo Qianyue, Gong Xueer and Lin Xi!"

"Although I don't feel comfortable mentioning that boy, I have to admit that he is indeed very good to you."

"Wang Aotian has many people who care about him, and so do you, so don't envy him!"

Jiang Li lowered his head and smiled a little reluctantly:

"Pei Qi, do you know? I once had a dream. In the dream, I was always alone. I didn't know you or Lin Xi. Zhuo Qianyue, Gong Xueer and Jiang Zihan were good friends. Wang Aotian was not what he is now. Wang Aotian will be kind to me."

"In the dream, I was excluded from the whole world. No one cared about me. Everyone wanted me to die. In the end, I did as they wished. I died miserably!"

Pei Qi's eyes were full of heartache when he heard what Jiang Li said.

He didn't know when Jiang Li was talking about it, but he could feel that what Jiang Li was talking about was not a dream.

She had truly been abandoned by this world.

Jiang Li closed her eyes and tried to suppress those painful memories, but suddenly she felt like she was enveloped in a warm embrace.

It was Pei Qi who hugged her and brought her back to reality.

The warmth of the embrace made her feel extremely at ease, and her whole body's defenses relaxed at this moment.

She leaned on Pei Qi's shoulder, thinking: If she had known Pei Qi in her previous life, maybe she wouldn't have died miserably in prison!

Pei Qi felt a little panicked. Jiang Li's appearance just now made him very scared.

Obviously she didn't cry, but he felt like she was like a shaky glass that had rolled to the edge of the table and would break at any time.

Fortunately, he caught her!

"Jiang Li, listen carefully, even if you are really abandoned by the world, I will stand unswervingly behind you!"

Jiang Li chuckled: "You can say such corny love words, how disgusting!"

Although he was complaining, Jiang Li couldn't help but choked up.

At this time, the door of the reception room opened, and Jiang Li came out of Pei Qi's arms and wiped the tears from his eyes.

After Jiang Li sent the Wang family away, he did not return to the police station. Instead, he went out to buy dinner for his colleagues in the team.

Feng Mingzhe's social network is extremely complex, and there are many people involved with him, most of whom are street gangsters with no fixed residence and incomplete identity information.

It is not easy to sort everything out. This night, my colleagues in the criminal investigation team may have to stay up all night.

There was a burger restaurant opposite the police station. Jiang Li couldn't afford an expensive meal, so he went to buy some burgers and milk tea.

While waiting for her meal, she saw a familiar face in the store.

He is a middle-aged man, wearing a simple black cotton-padded jacket and a peaked cap. He looks somewhat similar to Pei Qi.

Jiang Li immediately dug out a photo of Pei Qi's father, Pei Chengyun, from the Internet, and it turned out to be him!

Pei Chengyun ordered some food and placed it in front of him, but did not move. He kept looking in the direction of the police station through the glass door of the store.

At this time, a woman with a child took her meal but had no place to sit. Jiang Li gave up his seat to them and sat opposite Pei Chengyun.

"Uncle, is there no one here?"

Pei Chengyun saw Jiang Li and smiled: "No one is around, just sit down!"

Jiang Li looked at the untouched things on the table and asked with a smile:

"Uncle, you ordered so many things, why don't you eat them? Are you still waiting for someone?"

Pei Chengyun lowered his eyes slightly and answered sadly:

"These are what my son likes to eat. I was busy with work at the time, and I always said I would take him to eat burgers, but I didn't actually do it a few times."

"Then you are waiting for your son now?" Jiang Li asked.

Pei Chengyun nodded: "Yes! I'm waiting for him, but he probably won't come!"

While speaking, Pei Chengyun's eyes never left the door of the police station.

"Uncle, aren't these burgers a waste? How about I bring them to your son for you?"

After hearing Jiang Li's words, Pei Chengyun turned to look at her:

"Little girl, do you know my son?"

"Captain Pei Qipei, I not only know him, but I'm very familiar with him!" Jiang Li said with a smile.

"Since you are very familiar with Pei Qi, you should know why he refuses to come to see me. Why do you still come to help me?" Pei Chengyun was puzzled.

Jiang Li: "Uncle Pei, with all due respect, your wife was already in the advanced stage of gastric cancer when she was kidnapped!"

Pei Chengyun frowned: "How do you know this?"

"Not only do I know this, I also know that Pei Qi never knew that his mother was sick from the beginning to the end. It was because of this that you chose to save another hostage instead of stepping on your wife's body for promotion as the outside world said."

Pei Chengyun's expression gradually became alert. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Li:

"Who are you? Why do you know so much about what happened back then?"

"Uncle Pei, my name is Jiang Li. If you ask around, you will know why I know it so clearly!"

Hearing Jiang Li's name, Pei Chengyun relaxed a little:

"No need to ask, Lao Zhao told me about you. This is the person Pei Qi likes!"

Jiang Li choked at his words:

"Uncle, I didn't expect you and Director Zhao to gossip about your son's personal affairs!"

"I don't want to gossip, but Pei Qi doesn't go home all year round and refuses to see me, so I can only learn more about him from Lao Zhao." Pei Chengyun said helplessly.

"Since Director Zhao has told you about me, you should understand why I know about you and your wife, right?"

Pei Chengyun nodded: "I probably know it, but you don't understand it completely."

Jiang Li: "Is there anything else I don't know about?"

Pei Chengyun looked at Jiang Li's curious eyes, thought for a moment and said:

"That's my wife, the mother of my son. Even if she gets sick, I can't give up on her. Choosing death is the choice my wife made. She told me in a secret language that only the two of us knew. Painful, beg me to give her relief, so I..."

Speaking of this, tears filled Pei Chengyun's eyes.

"Then why don't you tell Pei Qi the truth?"

"I'm afraid that he won't believe me. He hates me so much. No matter what I explain, he will think that I'm trying to hide it, so I don't dare to tell him."

Jiang Li was speechless: "Are you sure he won't believe it before you say it? Pei Qi is not a fool, he can distinguish right from wrong!"
