In Gao Qiqiang's house on Jiuchang Street.
Due to Li Xiang's intervention, there was no follow-up conflict at the farmer's market. Gao Qiqiang took the scale and his water cup and left.
An Xin was called to eat by Li Xiang. Li Shuwen did not disturb the two of them and went back with Gao Qiqiang.
"I told you I wanted to invite you over for dinner, but I didn't have time after that incident. I'll treat you to lunch today.”Gao Qiqiang put away the things he had just bought and said to Li Shuwen, who was sitting on the bench.
"I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Li Shuwen said with a smile.
After washing his hands, Gao Qiqiang made tea for Li Shuwen before he went into the kitchen to get busy.
They didn't stop communicating. Gao Qiqiang cooked the food while chatting with Li Shuwen about what had happened during this period of time.
"On New Year's Eve, when we went to the municipal bureau, I didn't see you on such good terms with Officer An.”Gao Qiqiang asked curiously.
Li Shuwen poured himself a cup of tea and nodded."Yes, that was the first time we met that day. Actually, we only met two or three times. Yesterday, he came to Jiuchang Street with Officer Li to investigate a case. I helped him a little and left his phone number.”
"Ah?" Gao Qiqiang poked his head out of the kitchen with some doubt and said,""Then Officer An said in the car that the two of you were close friends?”
"Yeah, I helped him throw a grenade yesterday.”Li Shuwen said calmly.
Gao Qiqiang was stunned for a moment and frowned."Pounce on what?"
"Grenade…It's the kind of grenade you see on TV." Li Shuwen smiled again and said pretentiously.
Gao Qiqiang?
Two or three seconds later, Gao Qiqiang smiled and said,""Are you teasing me again?”
"Hahahaha, it's true. Speaking of which, it's quite interesting. Yesterday, they came to investigate a person called Huang Cuicui, and then..." Li Shuwen told Gao Qiqiang about yesterday's incident in a slightly exaggerated manner.
"It's too late to say. When the grenade appeared, we were all shocked. I don't know what happened, but I knocked Officer An away and then lay on the grenade.”Li Shuwen said.
When Gao Qiqiang heard these words, he still had some lingering fear. He could not help but say,"Shuwen, don't do such things in the future. You're just too impulsive. It was the same that day. If you didn't scare Tang Xiaolong and the others, wouldn't you have been beaten up for nothing like me?”
"Got it. Don't worry, Brother Qiang. It won't happen again.”Li Shuwen nodded.
After a while, the topic turned to Gao Qilan. Gao Qiqiang brought out a plate of soup and placed it on the table."Drink the soup first. There are two more dishes later. By the way, how are things between you and my Xiaolan? I haven't even had the chance to ask."
"The smell of this beef soup is appetizing.”Li Shuwen first praised him, then grinned and said,"Xiaolan and I, of course, are in love. To be honest, we got back together the night you were locked up in the city bureau.”
"Hahahaha, is that so?" Gao Qiqiang laughed loudly and stuck his head out again."Now that you mention it, I even feel that I didn't go in for nothing that day.”
"Brother Qiang, I'm telling you, I'm really prepared to get along well with Xiaolan in the future, so we're considered half a family now. If you have any problems, just let me know. I'll definitely help if I can.”Li Shuwen thought for a moment and suddenly said.
Gao Qiqiang chopped the vegetables in the kitchen a few times before saying,"Of course I know. I've treated you like my younger brother since I was young. You're very good to us three siblings. I don't have to worry about you being with Xiaolan. You're a person with ideas and culture. I won't be polite with you.”
"That's good." Li Shuwen nodded.
The two of them didn't say anything else. Li Shuwen drank his tea happily while Gao Qiqiang skillfully made two dishes. It only took him ten minutes.
Placing a plate in each hand on the table, Gao Qiqiang asked,""I still have two bottles of beer? Want some?"
"How about a little?" Li Shuwen also raised his eyebrows.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them laughed. Gao Qiqiang turned around and took out two bottles of beer from the small refrigerator. Without using a bottle opener, he opened the bottle cap with his teeth and handed it to Li Shuwen.
Li Shuwen did not have any intention of despising it. The two of them did not get a wine glass or anything. They directly drank from the bottle.
After two or three mouthfuls of beer, Gao Qiqiang sighed and said,"Now that the fish stall can't do anything, I don't know what to do for a while. Shuwen, you're quick-witted. Give me an idea, and we'll discuss it?”
"I think your fish stall can still continue to work.”Li Shuwen picked up a mouthful of food and said as he ate.
"Ah?" Gao Qiqiang frowned and said,""Just because of what happened in the market just now? I still don't understand what happened at that time.”
"Ahem." Li Shuwen cleared his throat and said in a low voice,"Don't tell anyone about this. Let me tell you something. An Xin, Officer An, he's not an ordinary police officer.”
"Oh? What about him?" Gao Qiqiang also asked with interest.
"He's considered a little prince in the municipal bureau. He has people behind him. The leaders of the municipal bureau, Meng Dehai and An Changlin, are very close to him and treat him like their own son.”Li Shuwen said.
Gao Qiqiang was not a brainless person. He reacted immediately and said,"In other words, in the market just now, Officer Li gave Tang Xiaolong and the others the identity of Officer An, right? No wonder those guys changed their faces so quickly. It turned out that Officer An had such a powerful background.”
"That's the case, but Anxin is obviously not willing to show off her identity to others. She's probably angry with Li Xiang now, so let's not talk about this with Anxin in the future.”Li Shuwen nodded.
"I understand. Don't worry.”Gao Qiqiang immediately nodded.
"Now that Tang Xiaolong knows Anxin's identity, it's obvious that he's the one behind the fish stall. Now that he doesn't dare to mess around, your fish stall will definitely be saved.”Li Shuwen chuckled.
"That makes sense…However, it's hard to say. If he really wants to make things difficult for me, there's nothing I can do. After all, the stalls in the market have to be changed every year…" Gao Qiqiang nodded at first, but then he said with some uncertainty.
In fact, this was indeed the case. If Tang Xiaolong was really stubborn, Gao Qiqiang could not do anything to him. An Xin could not get too involved in this matter. Tang Xiaolong could completely punish Gao Qiqiang's fish stall within the rules.
"Don't worry. The Tang brothers are just hooligans. They look strong on the outside but are weak on the inside. How would they dare to provoke you now? They can't wait to curry favor with you. Just wait and see. If they were smart enough, they would have brought gifts to you to celebrate the new year.”Li Shuwen raised his eyebrows.
"Hahahaha, give me a New Year's greeting. I'll thank the heavens if they don't pester me in the future. The New Year is over…" Gao Qiqiang picked up the bottle of wine and took a sip.
However, before he could put down the bottle, there was a knock on the door.
"He's here!" Gao Qiqiang replied and then said,"Could it be that the people from the street office came to ask me to enter the detention center..."
As he muttered, Gao Qiqiang got up and went to open the door.
Then, he saw Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu standing at the door with cigarettes and alcohol in their hands.
Gao Qiqiang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. Good heavens, Shuwen was right.
"Hey, Brother Qiang, you're at home." Tang Xiaohu asked with a smile on his face.
Tang Xiaolong still felt a little uneasy. He forced a smile on his face, the kind that could be considered a greeting.
Gao Qiqiang looked at the two of them and said impolitely,"What's the matter between the two of you?"
"Ahem…Well..." Tang Xiaolong cleared his throat, but he did not say anything for a long time.
Tang Xiaohu, who was at the side, was the one who came up with the idea. He stuffed the cigarette and alcohol in his hand into Gao Qiqiang's hand and said with a flattering smile,"Brother Qiang, didn't we have a misunderstanding before? We brothers also thought that we were all in the same courtyard and grew up together. Some things would be better if we talked things out, so we came today to apologize to you.”
In the original story, when Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu came here, they were not sure about the relationship between An Xin and Gao Qiqiang. They even found an opportunity to test Gao Qiqiang.
However, it was different now. At the market, Li Xiang directly said that An Xin and Li Shuwen had a life-and-death relationship. Although he said it a little too quickly, Tang Xiaolong remembered this in his heart.
He thought of the rumor that Li Shuwen had thrown a grenade at Gao Qiqiang yesterday. In addition, he saw that An Xin had driven Gao Qiqiang back as soon as he left the detention center today. How could their relationship be bad?
Therefore, there was no doubt!
Gao Qiqiang weighed the bag of cigarettes and alcohol in his hand and did not say anything. He just looked at Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu.
A few seconds later, Tang Xiaolong finally could not hold his arrogance anymore. He looked at Gao Qiqiang and said in a soft tone,"Brother Qiang, that…We two brothers are already here, can we go in and ask for some tea?”
Gao Qiqiang was still silent and did not speak. When Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu were a little confused, Gao Qiqiang moved aside and said,"Come in."
Once he relented, Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu relaxed, and smiles appeared on their faces.
"I told you that this Lord Brother Qiang is magnanimous and will definitely not be calculative with the two of us…Right? Brother?" Tang Xiaohu said hurriedly.
"That's right. Brother Qiang is still magnanimous. Unlike me, who always likes villains to succeed…" Tang Xiaolong added.
It had to be said that Gao Qiqiang was quite something. In just two minutes at the door, he had already completely controlled the Tang brothers!
Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu were talking nicely. When they walked in, they saw Li Shuwen sitting on the small square table and eating.
" Hey, Brother Wen is here too!?" Tang Xiaohu immediately greeted him.
Good heavens, he used to call her by her full name like 'Li Shuwen', but now he was directly calling her' Brother Wen'!
Tang Xiaolong also followed." Brother Wen is here too. That's great. You came back before the new year, right?" We haven't had a good chat for many years. Xiaohu, what are you still standing there for? Can't you see that Brother Wen and Brother Qiang are running out of beer? Go down and buy some!"
Li Shuwen turned around and glanced at the two brothers. Tang Xiaohu looked at him with dry eyes. Li Shuwen chewed the food in his mouth twice and swallowed it before smiling."Hurry up and go!"
"Okay, Brother Wen, Brother Qiang, wait for me!”Tang Xiaohu said happily and turned to leave.
