Xiao Ling listened quietly to what Jiang Jincheng had said. He glanced at Jiang Jincheng's face as he turned away, and an indescribable sinisterness flashed across his eyes.

Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently, with a little grievance in his voice: "It's okay, I accept it if uncle doesn't like me."

"I know it's hard for me to accept that I like you all of a sudden. After all, gender is different..."

Xiao Ling immediately changed the subject and soothed him softly, "Then I won't embarrass you, uncle. Just be like before."

Jiang Jincheng paused and looked at him. Seeing that Xiao Ling didn't mean to be joking, he confirmed: "Have you figured it out?"

"Then I have no other choice."

Xiao Ling sighed and said reluctantly, "Uncle has made it so clear. It's not appropriate for me to keep pestering him. I don't want to keep my distance from him, so let's just get along with him as before."

Jiang Jincheng stared at him for a long time, nodded, and said with some relief: "Just think it through. You are still young and you can meet someone better in the future. Don't waste your energy on me."

"Yeah... got it, uncle."

Xiao Ling stopped the car before looking at Jiang Jincheng: "Uncle, let's go to the manor first. I have booked a room. I'll go park the car and come back later."

"it is good."

Jiang Jincheng was relieved to see that Xiao Ling had returned to normal. Only after he opened the car door and left did the paranoia in Xiao Ling's eyes slowly reveal itself.

Since... neither coquetry nor playing hard to get can make you accept my words...

Then I'll have to try another method...

...

Jiang Jincheng sat on the sofa and sent a message to Jun Li to confirm the time of arrival. Xiao Ling parked the car and pushed the door open slowly.

Jiang Jincheng subconsciously moved to the side, but Xiao Ling sat directly on another sofa farther away.

Jiang Jincheng was slightly stunned but saw that Xiao Ling's face was calm and there was nothing unusual. He suddenly realized that he was overthinking, and shook his head helplessly before continuing to look at his phone.

"What would you like to eat?"

Xiao Ling pushed the menu to Jiang Jincheng, but Jiang Jincheng waved his hand and said, "It's up to me. Just order whatever you want. I'll take a photo of the menu and send it to Jun Li for him to see."

"Ah."

Xiao Ling obviously spoke less but he was still as gentle and calm as before. Jiang Jincheng always felt that the atmosphere was weird but he had nothing to say. It would be impossible to go back to the way it was before after such a mess. Now they could only make up for it slowly. Fortunately, Xiao Ling was able to think clearly and stop the loss in time.

Jiang Jincheng received a message on his phone. Jun Li circled all the things Bai Ze liked to eat, and specifically noted that he didn't want onions, ginger, or garlic.

Jiang Jincheng ordered the dishes according to the message and then pushed them to Xiao Ling. The two of them didn't say a word to each other during the whole process. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Fortunately, Jun Li arrived after more than ten minutes. When he opened the door and greeted Jiang Jincheng, Jiang Jincheng felt his breathing smoother.

They exchanged a few pleasantries before sitting together to chat. In fact, Jun Li noticed that Jiang Jincheng and Xiao Ling looked a little strange as soon as he entered the room. He didn't know if they had an argument or something, but they were sitting so far away from each other.

Jun Li was not blind. He knew very well what the red mark on Jiang Jincheng's neck meant. After all, he had a red mark on his neck and chest.

Could it be that these two people are quarreling?

"Why are we sitting so far away? Are you afraid that the other party will poison the food?"

Jun Li saw that the two of them were sitting so far away that he didn't know who to sit next to. Xiao Ling laughed and shook his head: "I like to sit by the window. I won't go over if I feel a little hot."

"Well, I like to be near the gate. I'm a bit cold, so I won't go over there either."

After hearing Xiao Ling's blatant sarcasm, Jiang Jincheng also retorted, "This brat doesn't give any face outside. He just said that everything will be the same as before. The problem is that he was not like this before!"

Jun Li was completely confused. How come I am also part of your play? If you two are arguing, just go back and argue. Why do you have to call me out for dinner?

Come on, these two must have had a fight! Damn it! Isn't it just making things worse for me to call me over?

"Row."

Jun Li nodded, took Bai Ze's hand and sat anywhere. He was not an idiot. If the two of you sit on the east and the west respectively, and he and Bai Ze sit on the north and the south respectively, how can the four of them set up the Bagua formation here!

You two can do whatever you want, he wants to be sweet with his wife!

Not long after Jun Li and Bai Ze sat down, the dishes slowly began to arrive. Jiang Jincheng opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for Jun Li himself. Jun Li was a little flattered and quickly stood up.

"This manor has rooms. Junli, let's have a good drink today. There's no rush to go back. We can stay here tonight."

Jun Li thought it was a good idea, and told Bai Ze that he would not drink too much and would take a good bath in the evening before he dared to clink glasses with Jiang Jincheng.

When all the dishes were served, Jun Li immediately acted like a doting wife. He picked up dishes for Bai Ze very skillfully without Bai Ze even asking.

When Jun Li sat back and placed the bowl in front of Bai Ze, Bai Ze leaned over and kissed him in response.

Jun Li coughed and his tail almost reached the sky. He looked at Jiang Jincheng with pride and boasting.

Jiang Jincheng felt a little helpless. He had long known what kind of person Jun Li was. He was indeed a love-sick person who loved to show off.

He silently took a sip of red wine, but his eyes subconsciously looked at Xiao Ling opposite him. After he reacted, he immediately withdrew his gaze.

However, Xiao Ling seemed not to care at all and did not notice Jiang Jincheng's eyes at all. He just lowered his head and ate silently, staring at his phone, not knowing what he was looking at.

Jiang Jincheng sighed. He didn't know what was wrong, but he always felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that the atmosphere was quite strange, and he couldn't put it into words, but it also made him feel a little blocked.

"Jun Li."

Jiang Jincheng filled himself with red wine and raised his glass to Jun Li. His tone was extremely sincere: "Qin Village is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would be able to stand here."

"Don't say that."

Jun Li quickly stood up and clinked glasses with Jiang Jincheng. He smiled and said, "It's what we should do. We are friends after all. We have handled cases together before."

"Moreover…"

Jun Li scratched his head and forced a smile, "My behavior should at least be worthy of the title of A City Handsome Guy you gave me!"

"puff…"

Jiang Jincheng laughed out loud and said yes repeatedly. He patted Jun Li on the shoulder and said seriously: "When this case is over in a few days, I will give you another one!"

"Uh... we can give you a pennant... but the slogan should stop attracting so much attention..."

Jun Li awkwardly picked his feet and said, "My secretary can't help laughing when she enters my office now. When I enter the company now, my employees call me handsome..."

Jiang Jincheng laughed so hard that he nodded repeatedly: "Then I'll think of a more low-key one for you next time! I just want to avoid being out of line with you young people. I don't even want to accept slogans that are too vulgar."

"By the way, the case of Sumire... "

"Well, the police have already investigated, and they have found the bodies of the girls that Sumire Village had beaten to death and buried over the years. Now that the evidence is solid, they have begun to close in."

Jun Li took a bite of mutton and looked at Jiang Jincheng: "Wait a few days and the evidence will be sufficient, and those above should come down."

"If you do something wrong, you will be punished. No matter how long it has been, time cannot cover up the sin."
