Chapter 637 - Good Night Kiss
Xia Xibei pulled him into a chair and diligently poured him tea.
"Brother Jue, I know right from wrong."
The "Brother Jue" she called him made him shake a little, and Qiao Yanjue
helplessly rolled his eyes at her.
Xia Xibei showed him a toothy smile, and Qiao Yanjue couldn"t even show his anger.
"Don"t give me that smile! Tell me everything!"
Today, as usual, he asked Pan Yan about Xia Xibei.
Pan Yan hadn"t said anything, but his hesitant tone made Qiao Yanjue suspicious.
Under pressure, Pan Yan could only spill the whole story..
After knowing what happened to Xia Xibei today, Qiao Yanjue became furious and immediately asked someone to look into the matter.
He was much more powerful than Brother Dahu, so he quickly found out the details.
The time and place of this shoot were indeed leaked by someone on Brother Dahu"s team, and the crocodile that appeared was sent by the owner of a farm not too far away.
The owner said that someone had given him money, saying he wanted to buy a crocodile to be released for good virtue.
Although the owner thought this request was strange, for the sake of the large sum of money, he still put the crocodile in the upstream at the specified time.
Anyway, it was just a lake, and it was not a big deal to have an extra crocodile. They could always catch it and bring it back in a couple of days.
He had no idea that someone was shooting down there!
After checking up to this point, the trail was broken because the customer gave cash and was obviously disguised.
Although the mastermind could not be found, Qiao Yanjue had a vague suspicion in his mind.
He asked people to investigate more. After all, it was not good to accuse people unjustly.
However, he was angry that it had been half a day and Xia Xibei hadn"t said anything!
"Someone put a crocodile in the water today, that"s all."
"That"s all?" Qiao Yanjue was exasperated. "You almost got buried in its jaws!"
"How could that be?" Xia Xibei bristled. "I"m the queen of animals, and crocodiles love me."
"You were making a movie!" Qiao Yanjue was so angry that he slapped the table.
"Don"t be anxious." Xia Xibei attentively handed over a gla.s.s of water. "This little problem is not difficult for me. Even if I do fall into the water, with my strength, can"t I handle a crocodile?"
She also patted Qiao Yanjue"s back and said comfortingly, "I"m not that weak."
After she dismissed and cajoled him, Qiao Yanjue couldn"t stay angry anymore.
Xia Xibei"s calm demeanor always made him feel like he was making too much of a fuss and was not calm enough.
He took a few deep breaths and drank the water in one go before calming down.
"No matter what happens, you have to tell me, okay?"
"I can fix it myself..."
"No matter if you can fix it or not, tell me about it!" Qiao Yanjue said coldly, then immediately softened his tone. "You don"t want me to worry, right? When you make things clear, I won"t have to worry. The more you keep it to yourself, the more I"ll worry." He sighed, "You don"t want me to not sleep at night, do you?"
Seeing him so serious, Xia Xibei could only nod.
"Okay, I"ll tell you everything from now on."
"That"s good," Qiao Yanjue nodded his head.
However, he also knew that Xia Xibei"s "independent" personality would not change overnight, so he could only put more effort into it.
Neither of them delved into this topic, talking about other things instead.
Half an hour later, Qiao Yanjue took Xia Xibei back.
Before getting out of the car, Xia Xibei hesitated, then suddenly came up to Qiao Yanjue"s side, kissing him on the forehead.
"A goodnight kiss... Bye."
