Chapter 1262 (1/2)
”Welcome, how many people?”
”Er...” Lu Yun looked warily in the cafe and didn't find anything unusual. Then she whispered, ”there's a reservation in box 3.”
”Oh, the guest in box 3 has arrived. Please go this way. The box is on the right.”
”Thank you.” Lu Yun nodded, walked along the direction indicated by the waiter, stopped at the door of box 3, and immediately stretched out her jade hand and pushed the door open.
Li Qing was looking out of the window. When he heard the voice, he turned to look at Lu Yun, smiled and said, ”I've been waiting for you for a while.”
”I went to the hospital to get the test sheet. It's rare to sneak out.” Lu Yun closed the door with her back hand and leaned gently on the door panel. ”Didn't you go back to the north of Hong Kong?”
”Oh, I just came back this afternoon.” Li Qing replied, raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side, ”come and sit down.”
Lu Yun walked slowly to the opposite side of Li Qing, sat down and said with a smile, ”just came back, he couldn't wait to ask me out. Did you miss me?”
Li Qing smiled and was about to say something when someone knocked at the door.
”Please come in.”
”Excuse me.” the waiter pushed the door in. ”What can I do for you, miss?”
Lu Yun waved her jade hand: ”no, I'll go right away.”
”I'm sorry,” the waiter nodded, turned and stepped back.
There were two people left in the box again. Li Qing turned and said, ”I heard that Jiang Junming was discharged?”
”Well, I was discharged yesterday and was recovering at home. It's very annoying.”
”Has he been honest lately? Has he been kind to you...”
Lu Yun asked, ”what do you mean?”
Li Qing looked a little embarrassed: ”that's... That.”
”What about that?”
Li Qing gave a ”tut” sound, stared and said angrily, ”you know why you ask.”
Lu Yun giggled, and immediately gave Li Qing a charming white look: ”don't worry, he was so badly hurt that he didn't want to torture me.”
”That's good.” Li Qing nodded. ”You set my phone to emergency dial. If it's dangerous, call me immediately.”
”Oh, I see.”
Li Qing picked up his cup and took a sip of hot coffee. Looking out of the window, he pretended to be careless and asked, ”I heard that a well-known troupe recently performed in the Mingtai Grand Theater.”
”Well, this Friday,” Lu Yun replied softly, ”you are still interested in a very old play, the wind in the middle of the night?”
The corners of his mouth rose slightly. Li Qing shook his head slowly, and then turned his eyes to Lu Yun: ”will Jiang Yuanzhou go?”
”I think he will. He likes the play very much. He received an invitation again this time, but...”
Li Qing asked, ”but what?”
”But I'm not sure. After Jiang Junming's injury, I'll help Jiang Yuanzhou deal with some things. It seems that he wants to meet someone that afternoon.”
Li Qingmei frowned, ”who are you meeting?”
”A man named Yao Wenchang has several good investment projects, but he has been short of funds. Jiang Yuanzhou seems to be very interested in him.” Lu Yun stared at Li Qing without blinking. ”You seem very nervous? What's the matter? Does Jiang Yuanzhou have to go?”
”Yes.”
”You have to go? What's your idea?”
Li Qing was silent for a moment, and then asked faintly, ”can you really be sure that the list is hidden in his pocket watch?”
”Ah, you want to...” Lu Yun was surprised at the bottom of her eyes and immediately shook her head. ”I just think it's possible, because he never left the pocket watch, but I can't guarantee you anything.”
”Anyway, it's worth a try.” Li Qing sighed slightly. ”I heard that as long as the troupe comes to Mingtai, Jiang Yuanzhou will see it. It's still a farewell performance this time. Why doesn't he come?”
Lu Yun said with a smile: ”that old actor who said he was going to retire, wouldn't it be your arrangement?”
Li Qing nodded: ”yes.”
”Then you may have made a mistake.” Lu Yun put her arm on the table, and her white jade hand held her chin, ”The midnight wind play tells the story of a little man's life. From childhood, youth to old age, three people were invited to play. In fact, Jiang Yuanzhou mentioned more than once that the old actor was the most dissatisfied with the play. Now I heard that he was going to retire. How could he be present?”
”So there's another one...” Li Qing narrowed her eyes slightly and rubbed her temples. ”Then I have to think of something else. You just said that the man's name was Yao Wenchang, right?”
”Well.” Lu Yun nodded her chin, glanced at the watch on her wrist, and then stood up. ”It's time. I have to go back.”
”In such a hurry?”
”Yes, I've made a detour when I came to you. If I delay any longer, they will doubt it.” Lu Yun complained and suddenly smiled, ”I know you miss me, otherwise it would be better to ask such a simple thing on the phone.”
