Qin Si Yue watched his dejected expression, assuming he was thinking from the victim's perspective because he had seen too many such cases. She pursed her lips slightly and did not continue the conversation.
At that moment, the waiter approached to serve the dishes.
Han Hao Ming raised his glass, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips. "Regardless, this case has finally come to light, and I believe it will be closed soon. Director Qin, you've been a great help to us. Here, I'll toast you first."
Qin Si Yue cheerfully picked up her wine glass, her eyebrows rising slightly. "Officer Han, after this incident, can we consider ourselves friends?"
"Of course," Han Hao Ming replied without hesitation.
"Then, when we meet privately in the future, can we stop calling each other by our titles and just use our names? What do you think?" Qin Si Yue looked at him with a charming smile.
Han Hao Ming hesitated for a moment before replying, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Yue suddenly put down the wine glass in her right hand and playfully extended her hand to him. "Let's formally get acquainted. My name is Qin Si Yue."
Han Hao Ming paused slightly, then shook her hand and replied, "Han Hao Ming."
Afterward, Qin Si Yue couldn't help but laugh happily. Han Hao Ming also laughed with her, revealing a row of white teeth.
Just then, Qin Si Yue's phone rang. Seeing that it was Xu Zhi Lan calling, she quickly answered and, covering the mouthpiece, whispered to Han Hao Ming, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."
"Hello? Grandma, what made you think of calling me at this time?" Qin Si Yue asked into the phone with a smile.
"What's wrong? Did I disturb your meal? Who were you talking to just now?" Xu Zhi Lan's curious voice came through the phone.
"It's no one, just a friend I met not long ago." Qin Si Yue glanced at Han Hao Ming.
Xu Zhi Lan asked sensitively, "A man, or a woman?"
"Guess?" Qin Si Yue smiled mysteriously.
"There's no clue, how can I guess? Anyway, it's either a man or a woman," Xu Zhi Lan teased from the other end.
"Of course," Qin Si Yue said. "Grandma, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"From your eager tone, I guess the person sitting opposite you is most likely a man, and someone you like very much, right?" Xu Zhi Lan said with a smile.
Good heavens, does Grandma have clairvoyance? How could she guess?
Qin Si Yue's cheeks flushed slightly. She whispered, "Grandma, don't guess wildly. Hurry up and tell me, what do you want?"
"From the words 'hurry up and tell me,' I can now judge with 90% certainty that he is a man. Hand the phone over to him, I want to say a few words," Xu Zhi Lan said, her voice a little excited.
Finally, one of the three people in the family waiting to get married had taken a step forward, how could she not be excited?
Qin Si Yue looked up at Han Hao Ming again, meeting his surprised gaze.
He didn't know why she kept looking at him while talking to her grandmother.
"Grandma, get to the point, or I'll hang up," Qin Si Yue said, feigning anger.
"Alright, alright. You'll bring him back to see me sooner or later anyway," Xu Zhi Lan continued with a smile. "Send me Shen Xi's number. I can never get through to your brother."
"What do you want her number for?" Qin Si Yue asked.
Xu Zhi Lan replied, "She doesn't want you to visit her, and your brother doesn't know what he's busy with every day. I should at least call to check in."
"Okay. I also feel that my brother hasn't been quite right lately. I'll call him when I have time and ask him," Qin Si Yue said. Then, she looked up Shen Xi's number and told it to Xu Zhi Lan.
After hanging up, Han Hao Ming asked with curiosity, "Is Dr. Shen very familiar with your family?"
He remembered meeting her for the first time when he was helping her find her child at Zhuo Sheng Group. A few days ago, he saw her with Qin Si Ye at Phantom, and it seemed their relationship was quite close.
"She's the doctor my brother specifically hired to treat my grandmother," Qin Si Yue said, looking at him with a smile. "How did you know the person we mentioned on the phone was her?"
Han Hao Ming replied, "Because I have her phone number too?"
"Are you very close to her?" Qin Si Yue asked with curiosity.
