Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Black Text on White Background

Of course it looked familiar; five years ago, when Jiang Li followed the Fierce Eagle Team on a training trip, they had borrowed Bo Jingshen’s plane, and the pilot was Yan Sui.

Before the flight and after landing, Yan Sui had made appearances, so it was no wonder Zhao Tong found him familiar.

It was still quite forgettable, so he only felt it looked familiar. If Ying Xi had been there, she probably would have recognized him immediately.

Su Zhe glanced at the figure in the pilot’s uniform who had already walked out the door, then looked at Su Lu’s expression, squinting his eyes thoughtfully.

The car was already waiting at the door. As Su Lu and the others reached the entrance, a black seven-seater business van stopped in front of them, and the rear door slid open automatically.

The passenger-side door also opened, and a tall and straight figure got out to help them with their luggage.

It was none other than Qiao Li.

Five years had passed, and Qiao Li hadn’t seemed to age much, but time had polished him to a more mellow quality.

"Uncle Qiao!" Zhao Xiaole called out crisply, his tone unmistakably joyful.

How could he not be joyful? Qiao Li often visited him in Beijing and always brought new toys, originally including snacks, but Su Lu had very clear attitudes about feeding children snacks.

Later, Qiao Li only brought toys, and he was incredibly patient, always willing to spend a day playing those childish games with Zhao Xiaole.

"Hey, Xiaole." Qiao Li smiled, bent down, and picked up the little guy sitting on the yellow duck suitcase, then carried the child and the suitcase to the trunk with one hand each.

"Xiaole, are you sitting here? I arranged it for you in advance," said Qiao Li.

There was a child safety seat in the back, conspicuously in a yellow duck pattern, exactly as Zhao Xiaole liked. The child was thrilled at just one glance, "Yellow duck! I love it! Thank you, Uncle Qiao!"

Speaking of attentiveness, perhaps no one could be more thoughtful than Qiao Li.

"You’re just spoiling him," Su Lu said helplessly.

Every time Qiao Li visited Beijing, Zhao Xiaole was as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.

"He’s happy, that’s all that matters, it’s not a big deal," Qiao Li laughed.

Su Zhe glanced sideways at Qiao Li and curled his lips.

Regardless, this guy had become considerably more promising in recent years, at least his kindness towards Su Lu and Zhao Xiaole was evident to everyone.

Zhao Ying and Shen Xun were also aware of Qiao Li’s feelings for Su Lu, and frankly, both had a good impression of him.

Honestly speaking, a person like Qiao Li was rarely disliked by anyone.

"I had Auntie clean your house a few days ago." Qiao Li turned to Su Zhe and asked, "Shall we go straight there or go for a meal first?"

"You arrange," Su Zhe had no objections. "You’ve definitely already made arrangements, no need to ask me."

"Okay, I’ve booked a scenic private room at Jiangbin Platform. We’ll eat first then I’ll take you back," said Qiao Li.

Everyone agreed.

The driver then drove towards Jiangbin Platform.

Jiangbin Platform had become a popular restaurant in recent years, situated along a scenic riverside that had seen many restaurants, Western dining places, and cafes open because of the favorable environment and view, thus doing great business.

Among them, Jiangbin Platform was quite famous. There was another restaurant as well known as Jiangbin Platform called Zhegotian, with very stylish decor, but Qiao Li hadn’t booked that place.

"We’re right next to it, Zhegotian," said Qiao Li. It was indeed just next door, hardly two hundred meters away, separated only by a road.

"Eating river and seafood at Jiangbin Platform suits your taste. Since you’re going to be in Feng City for a while, we can visit Zhegotian next time." Qiao Li said, pouring tea for Su Lu, "Here, your favorite Longjing, this year’s tea. I saved a bit, have a taste."

"Thank you." Su Lu sipped his tea, looking at the restaurant across the street which, even from the outside, had a lot of character.

Zhegotian.

What an interesting name.

At that very moment, in a private room at Zhegotian, Yan Sui pushed away the chrysanthemum wine in front of him, "Not drinking."

The handsome-faced man sitting opposite him could be none other than Jiang Li.

Jiang Li clicked his tongue, "You’re not driving, are you still afraid of drunk driving?"

"I’ve quit drinking, I’m used to it," Yan Sui replied, sniffing the alcohol in his glass and frowning, "Plus, I think rice wine tastes like I’m drinking piss."

"..." Jiang Li, with a mouthful of rice wine neither able to swallow nor spit, had a rigid expression on his face, thinking it wasn’t worth saying what he thought.

This made Jiang Li lose any desire to touch the now warm pot of wine.

"Why did you think of coming over now? Didn’t see you so eager before," Jiang Li asked.

Yan Sui chuckled, picked up a piece of chilled okra, and slowly chewed it.

A moment later, he said, "It’s different."

Jiang Li really didn’t see what was different, "So are you going with Cheng Yan tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Yan Sui thought for a bit, then curled his lips into a smile, "I was planning to go the day after tomorrow, but I suddenly changed my mind. I’ll go with Cheng Yan tomorrow."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow but didn’t bother asking why Yan Sui had suddenly changed his mind.

Instead, the next morning, he simply went with Cheng Yan to pick up Yan Sui at the hotel.

Then, the car headed towards the suburbs of Feng City, passing through large tech park areas where, over the years, new tech companies had flourished, converting buildings into LOFT-style offices.

After passing the tech park, it wasn’t long before they reached a large amusement park area.

From a distance, they could already see the colorful and towering amusement rides, recently opened amusement parks, adjoining water parks, and Ocean Park.

This was all new.

The car continued towards the rural outskirts, passing fewer houses until they could see fields and rural homes in the distance.

Naturally, they also saw a region enclosed by high walls topped with electric fences.

The car pulled up to the gate of this solemn, bleak, and chilling area.

The car stopped at the entrance, beside the gate hung a sign with white background and black letters coldly stating, "Feng City First Detention Center."

Jiang Li got out of the car, lifting a large bag of daily necessities from the trunk.

Cheng Yan got out of the passenger side.

Yan Sui stepped out from the backseat and glanced at the grim sign next to the dark gate.

He sighed, "Ah, no matter how many times I come, I just can’t get used to this."
