When Dong Qiangqiang woke up on Tuesday morning, Lao Bai was not in the room. Dong Qiangqiang didn't know whether Lao Bai didn't come back all night, or whether he came back and left early.
He leaned lazily on the edge of the bed and turned his arms slightly. The doctor helped him apply hemostatic cream last night. The wound that was still aching a little before going to bed no longer hurts much. It doesn't seem to affect driving.
After a simple wash, he walked into the kitchen to get himself something to eat, but unexpectedly found a sumptuous breakfast on the dining table. No need to ask, it must have been prepared by Lao Bai.
There was a note under the milk carton: I went to the Investment Promotion Bureau. If I have anything to do, I’ll call you. I’ll see you at the Haynes Bauer restaurant tonight. The address of the restaurant was written under the message. The signature is Lao Bai.
The Investment Promotion Bureau must not have opened until 9 o'clock, and it was not yet 7 o'clock. It was obvious that Lao Bai was avoiding him on purpose. Dong Qiangqiang knew that Lao Bai did this because of their friendship. He sighed, put down the note, and just picked up the bread, Brother Yun opened the door and walked in.
There were many bruises and swelling on half of her face, and the scab on the wound at the corner of her mouth was still bright red. It looked shocking. You can imagine how heavy Lao Chen's attack was yesterday.
Dong Qiangqiang pushed the note in front of Brother Yun: "Lao Bai invites you to dinner tonight. Let's go together."
Brother Yun glanced at the note nonchalantly, without raising his eyelids, and said, "You didn't say you'd invite me." After saying that, he picked up two slices of bread with strawberry jam and walked out of the kitchen.
At 7 o'clock sharp, Dong Qiangqiang drove Brother Yun to the hotel.
Brother Yun wore a pair of oversized black sunglasses, covering most of her face. Contrary to the light makeup she wore a few days ago, her face was covered with a thick layer of makeup visible to the naked eye. Although she was injured, she still greeted everyone and explained today's itinerary as usual. She looked no different from before.
Since everyone would not go back to the hotel in the evening, Dong Qiangqiang was responsible for helping everyone check out.
Dong Qiangqiang was checking out at the front desk when suddenly someone asked from behind him: "Brother Dong, do you know that something happened to my dad last night?"
Dong Qiangqiang knew the speaker was Chen Xia without turning around. Fortunately, Chen Xia was behind him and couldn't see the embarrassment on his face. "Yesterday after dinner, your dad said he wanted to go shopping in the city by himself, but he refused to let me accompany him, so I didn't know about it until later."
"Then did you call the police for him?" Chen Xia walked up to Dong Qiangqiang and asked.
Dong Qiangqiang pretended to be calm and handed the stack of passports to the front desk clerk with a smile: "These are all checked out. Thank you."
"Let me ask you." Chen Xia looked a little anxious, "Have you reported it or not?"
"Of course I will." Although Dong Qiangqiang answered, he did not dare to look into Chen Xia's eyes.
"What did the police say?" Chen Xia looked at him expectantly, "Can we catch him?"
"The police said that this kind of thing happens often. It takes time to solve the case, and generally the probability of solving this kind of case is relatively small. If the person is underage, he will probably be released after a few hours of detention."
"Is the security here in Germany so bad?" Chen Xia leaned against the counter and muttered dissatisfied, "Last night I saw him coming back with a bandage, which shocked me. He said he bumped into me while walking A few punks had their bags robbed and were beaten, and then their wrists were like that.”
Dong Qiangqiang looked around and said to him: "Go and ask Xinxin if she has any special places she wants to visit. If there is time, I will send you there for a tour today."
"She just likes to go shopping. She doesn't care about tourist attractions or anything like that. Oh, by the way, she bought you a shirt yesterday and said she wanted to thank you for saving me." Chen Xia said and put a plastic bag on the counter at the front desk. He got on, patted the bag, "I'm getting in the car first, remember to take it, don't forget it."
Dong Qiangqiang wanted to cry for a moment. He felt that he was sorry for Chen Xia.
Everyone's room has been checked out, except Lao Chen.
Dong Qiangqiang was thinking about whether to ask the front desk to call Lao Chen, when Lao Chen walked out holding the suitcase in one hand.
He was also wearing a pair of sunglasses, with a bandage around his neck and gauze wrapped around his wrist. He glanced at the stunned Dong Qiangqiang, nodded slightly, then handed his passport to Dong Qiangqiang and ordered: "Check out for me." Just walk out of the hotel door.
Since everyone has to fly back home at night, the daytime itinerary is mainly about sightseeing, such as the BMW Museum, Olympic Park, City Hall, Cathedral and other famous attractions. Although Brother Yun tried hard to behave the same as the previous few days, Dong Qiangqiang could see that she was much weaker than before.
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: Lao Chen's incident had a huge impact on her, and she didn't know when she would be able to get out of her psychological shadow.
After nearly two weeks of continuous travel, everyone showed varying degrees of fatigue. Although they were at the scenic spots, they basically just took a look around and occasionally took a few photos. The time passed quickly.
Dong Qiangqiang has been in fear for a day, worried that Lao Chen will cause trouble for him, especially when he sees police cars and policemen, he always has the illusion that Lao Chen will rush to call the police, and then let the police catch him, Brother Yun and Lao Bai. But until he sent everyone to Munich Airport in the evening, Lao Chen behaved normally. Even when he saw the police, he did not do anything extraordinary.
When they finally separated and entered the gate, Lao Chen walked up to him and said to him with a half-smile, "I remember you. I will come back to find you again." After that, he turned and walked towards the gate.
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned for a second before he realized the other party's subtext, and asked loudly: "Are you threatening me?"
Lao Chen did not answer, and his figure slowly disappeared into the crowd.
After rushing back to the city from the airport to complete the return procedures, it was almost 20:30. When Dong Qiangqiang returned the car, he received a call from Lao Bai asking where he and Brother Yun were. Brother Yun said that he had a headache and was not feeling well, so he planned to go home and rest. Seeing that he had to go to the appointment alone, Dong Qiangqiang immediately didn't want to go. Firstly, he felt awkward, and secondly, he was afraid that if he went there, it would be a meal for everyone. When he wanted to find an excuse, he was stopped by Brother Yun.
"Lao Bai is really nice to you." Brother Yun advised, "I know what he did last night was hard for you to accept, but he didn't do it for himself. I hope you can understand that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. If a person observes carefully, he will have no disciples.”
Dong Qiangqiang was still reading the proverbs, but Brother Yun had already turned around and got on the bus.
Hainesbauer is a local time-honored store in Munich. It is said to be a century-old store. It is located in the old town of Munich. Dong Qiangqiang found the place easily.
The interior of the restaurant was similar to that of HB Hofbräuhaus. Dong Qiangqiang had something on his mind and didn't care about it.
The waiter took him directly to Lao Bai's table in the corner.
Lao Bai didn't seem surprised that Brother Yun didn't come, and he politely asked the waiter to bring the drinks and staple food.
"I told you the day you came that I would treat you to a drink when you left. Although this restaurant is not as famous as HB, it is also a well-known local specialty restaurant. Of course, one of its specialties is also pork knuckle. I remember you I love this dish, so I specially ordered two for you today and took one to take away. Besides, you don’t have to drive tonight, so I specially ordered the most famous Paulaner beer in Munich. I hope you like it."
"Thank you." Dong Qiangqiang nodded politely, "Sorry for the trouble."
Politeness is a kind of cultivation, but it is also a weapon. It can naturally put distance between you and people you don't like.
