Chapter 1412 (1/2)

It was dark before six o'clock.

Li Qing drove the car to the gate of Jiang's house, stopped steadily, and then got off the car.

”Mr. Li, please.”

”HMM.” Li Qing followed the servant who led the way through Xiao Leng's front yard and asked casually, ”isn't there anyone else today?”

”Today is a private dinner.” the servant answered cautiously, saying nothing. Li Qing knew that he could not ask anything from such a small role, so he simply stopped talking.

Not long after he came to the banquet hall, the bodyguards on both sides of Gong Li opened the door: ”Mr. Li, please.”

Li Qing nodded and stepped in. There was no one in the empty hall, only an empty table. Behind him, the door was closed again.

”Interesting.” he walked slowly to the table, raised his hand and knocked on the table. He asked loudly, ”the party has arrived. Where is the host?”

”Cough, cough, Master Li, don't worry.” a hoarse voice sounded slowly, and Jiang Yuanzhou came in from the side door in the northwest corner of the hall. He was hobbling with a walking stick in his hand. From his face, he seemed to be ten years old again.

The pain of losing a son from a white haired man to a black haired man made Jiang Yuanzhou's last spirit disappear.

Li Qing stepped back and slightly owed his lower body: ”Mr. Jiang.”

”Mr. Li, please sit down.” Jiang Yuanzhou made a gesture of invitation, then walked slowly to the table and opened the chair.

Li Qing waited until he sat down firmly before he pulled out his chair and sat down.

Jiang Junming supported his walking stick with his dry hands like eagle claws, narrowed his muddy old eyes and looked at him: ”Mr. Li, it seems that he is very polite today.”

”You are a figure of the older generation. You should be polite.” Li Qing said faintly, and soon the conversation changed. ”I'm also deeply sorry that young master Jiang had such a thing. Please forgive me.”

”Junming's head disappeared, leaving me a headless body.” Jiang Yuanzhou coughed violently for a while before slowly opening his mouth again. ”I frozen the body and vowed not to stop until I found the real murderer who mutilated Junming. Only after avenging my son can I send him to earth.”

”Yes.” Li Qing nodded again. ”If you need my help, please don't mention it, old gentleman.”

”Alas.” Jiang Yuanzhou sighed deeply, ”I have a brother in amai Island, Jiang Qiyuan. He just died last month. Unexpectedly...”

Li Qing's eyelids jumped slightly. These two lives can't be counted on him, but they all have something to do with him.

Jiang Yuanzhou stared at him for a while and gently waved his hand: ”don't mention it, don't mention it.”

”Cough.” Jiang Yuanzhou coughed again and immediately said hoarsely, ”start serving.”

”Yes.” the servant outside the door answered. First, he brought in two sets of cups and plates and put them in front of Li Qing and Jiang Yuanzhou.

”Mr. Jiang,” Li Qing asked, ”tonight... Just the two of us?”

”If there were no accidents, there would be no mistake.”

Li Qing didn't know what Jiang Yuanzhou's so-called ”accident” meant, but he gently nodded his head.

After a while, the first course was served.

When Li Qing looked at it, he was stunned. In front of him was a plate of fried salted fish.

Jiang Yuanzhou mentioned chopsticks: ”Mr. Li, I have carefully selected three dishes for tonight. This is the first. Try it.”

Seeing that Li Qing didn't move his chopsticks, Jiang Yuanzhou seemed to understand something. A smile almost sarcastic appeared at the corners of his mouth. He took the food with chopsticks and first sent it to his mouth: ”Master Li can eat.”

Li Qing slowly picked up the chopsticks, still a little hesitant. He couldn't help muttering, which song did the old guy sing tonight?

But in the face of Jiang Yuanzhou's bright eyes, Li Qing had to put a chopstick of salted fish into his mouth and chew it gently.

Jiang Yuanzhou asked, ”what do you think, Master Li?”

”It's a little fishy, but overall, it tastes good.”

Jiang Yuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief and looked disappointed: ”Maybe Mr. Li didn't know that when I first started to run a boat, I worked as a boatman in the Li family. I worked for about six or seven years before I came out to make a living. The dish you eat now is what I often eat when I run a boat for the Li family. We took fish from the sea, washed them, put them on the deck under the sun, scalded them, beat them, tore them into thin filaments, and then fried them in oil.”

Li Qing said, ”it's like eating a mouthful of sea smell.”

”Hehe hehe.” Jiang Yuanzhou suddenly laughed, ”in principle, the Li family is my old owner. When your grandfather Li Qizhi was still alive, I had to prepare a generous gift for his birthday. He also saved me.”

The strong fishy smell spread in the mouth, making Li Qing uncomfortable.

Jiang Yuanzhou started again and soon brought up the second dish.
