Chapter 69 - Date (1/2)

A week had gone by since the day at the factory. The police had scoured the entire factory building and around the factory but didn't find a single trace about the people Wang Ming had talked about. But since the police found Gang Gou's body in the room, they investigated HouZi Gang, sadly they didn't have any proof. So the only thing the police could do was to interrupt HouZi Gang's businesses and launch an investigation, which led nowhere.

Weng Ting survived the incident, but he's badly injure and will probably be bedridden for six months. As for Uncle Weng, they had found him in the back alley behind his shop. A baseball bat hit him to the back of the head, but the hit wasn't too strong, so he only fainted and didn't sustain a severe injury.

If the hit had just been stronger, then with Uncle Weng's age he probably would have been dead. The police sadly didn't get any information out of the couple either, as both of them only saw a man with a mask on. Weng Ting tried to rat out his friend Bo Hou Zhang as the one instigating everything, but with zero evidence, the police didn't believe him.

Wang Ming's injury had healed well, way better than the doctor thought it would. Only after four days, he could go without bandaging his head. The wound had closed and only needed more time to heal, though his ear didn't fully heal until a full week had passed.

He scheduled the date with Lang Lin and Fu Ya to be today. This wasn't just a date but also a celebration that he's recovered. This past week had been pretty bad, as Wang Ming wanted to work in the restaurant, but he kept getting headaches and felt excruciating pain in his ears, not only this but his ears also discharged blood.

But after today he could finally work at the restaurant again, the doctor had cleared him to work, which is why he's even more excited today.

Wang Ming had wanted to go out to eat, but realized that they could just eat in his restaurant. He's a chef. There was no reason for them to go out to eat unless they wanted to eat something special, Wang Ming could just make the food.

Fu Ya and Ming Ming had arrived at his restaurant early even though he had scheduled the date to be at 6pm, they had already arrived at 4.30. Fu Ya had explained it with Ming Ming caught wind of Wang Ming inviting them to his restaurant, so she wanted to come as soon as possible.

When they arrived Ming Ming instantly hugged Wang Ming's legs and wanted him to carry her. It was then she also saw Wang Ming's wound, even though it had healed, mostly. You could still see raw flesh, which had still not healed. When Ming Ming first saw his injury, she kept crying for five minutes straight.

Wang Ming tried to calm her by saying he was ok, sadly she didn't want to stop. Even Fu Ya tried to calm her down, stroking her back but nothing worked, she had never seen Ming Ming act up like this.

But luckily after 5 minutes she ran out of tears, standing on Wang Ming's forearm, Ming Ming kissed his forehead and tried to say in a soothing voice, but she had hiccups.

”Da 'Hicc' ddy, It's ok 'Hicc' Ming Ming's here! 'Hicc' I love you.”

Ming Ming kept kissing Wang Ming's forehead to make his pain go away. Though Wang Ming barely felt the wound now as long as he didn't touch it. Hugging Ming Ming, it was Wang Ming's time to kiss her. He showered her bubble cheeks with kisses and even tickled her, which made her scream.

”Daddy! Stop, please. Ming Ming will be good, stop tickling meeee!”

Hearing her beg for mercy, Wang Ming stopped. But seeing her pitiful face, he couldn't help but laugh. Hugging her again Wang Ming said.

”Ming Ming's the best! Do you want to eat some seafood today?”

Seeing her nod multiple times, Wang Ming felt satisfied.

”Okay, then today I'll make you some stir-fried noodles with shrimp and king crab. Is that ok with you Fu Ya?”

”That's perfectly fine, Ming Ming has never eaten seafood before, so this is going to be a special moment for her.”

Pinching Ming Ming's cheek, Wang Ming said.

”Then, I will make this the best seafood dish you will ever eat, little girl.”

Ming Ming just nodded and went to play with her mother.

Walking into his kitchen, Wang Ming felt so good. He had cooked nothing this past week. He was afraid that he could never serve someone ever again. But he had settled all the victims, even the lady who had tried to slap him, gave up the case after she got the police report.

Wang Ming wasn't sure what to make today, but earlier this morning he had seen some frozen king crab the sellers had caught this morning. After hearing the price, Wang Ming had to buy it, since these crabs were smaller than normal, Wang Ming got them at 100 yuan a kg which is half of the normal price. He bought four, one for each of them.
