Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me - Chapter 514
514 Chapter 515 The tacit understanding between Liusu and Mo Fei
I had not seen Lin Zhi only for a few days, but it gave me a feeling that I had not seen him for a few years. Lin Zhi’s face was a little bloated, his eyes were bloodshot and there were heavy bags under his eyes. In addition, there seemed to be a lot more grey hair on his head. It was as if he had suddenly aged a few years. It seemed that he was really troubled by Xu Heng’s case.
Long Xiaotian’s problems had involved a lot of people. On the one hand, he had to bear the pressure from above, and on the other hand, he was unable to catch Xu Heng for a long time. So it was understandable that he would be exhausted. I heard Ziyuan say that he had only been here for less than half an hour, but the ashtray was already full of cigarette butts. It seemed that without the support of cigarettes, he would collapse immediately.
“Mr. Chu, hehe, it seems that we are really bound by fate…” As soon as Lin Zhi saw me, the troubled expression on his face smoothed out. Ignoring the resentful Dong Xiaoye, he stood up and shook hands with me, his words were full of helplessness.
I chuckled. “There are two places that I don’t want to be associated with the mostone is the hospital and the other is the police station. But unfortunately, trouble always seems to like me. So if it really is fate, it must be an ill fate.”
!!
“That depends on how you look at it.” Lin Zhi glanced back at Dong Xiaoye, and said to me with a wry smile, “But this time, Mr. Chu is indeed innocent, and I should take some responsibility as well. After all, such an arrangement was indeed ill-conceived at first…”
I knew that Lin Zhi was referring to the matter of arranging Dong Xiaoye to protect me, but I didn’t want to continue this topic. After asking him to sit down, I asked, “Where’s Wang Jie?”
“He was temporarily relieved of his work.” Lin Zhi shook his head and said, “Originally, I wanted him to apologize to you and Mr. Zhang in person, but considering Mr. Zhang’s current mood… it’s better for me to come here first.”
“Huh?” I didn’t quite understand what he could do to possibly improve the situation.
Lin Zhi snuffed out the cigarette he had just lit, and said with a serious expression, “To be honest, I’m here to apologize to your company on behalf of the Municipal Police Bureau. In addition, I have a favor that I want to ask…”
I didn’t say anything and listened to Lin Zhi’s words quietly. It turned out that he didn’t come to Fengchang solely to apologize to me. The person he wanted to see was Zhang Mingjie, but Zhang Mingjie stayed in the hospital in the name of looking after Liu Xiaosheng and didn’t come back. However, Zhang Mingjie’s real purpose of staying behind was nothing but flattery. He was hoping that Liu Xiaoshengwho was in the midst of depressionwould be moved by him and lend him 100 million yuan…
Zhang Mingjie was very concerned about the content of my few-minute private conversation with Liu Xiaosheng. Before I left the hospital, he had tried to get something out of my mouth obliquely. But I only told him that Liu Xiaosheng was very thick-skinned and wanted to invite me to dinner in the name of the Liu family, and because of the relationship between Xingyu and Lao Guo, it was difficult for me to refuse… I deliberately gave Zhang Mingjie an ambiguous response while showing a dissatisfied expression, as if I was complaining about Zhang Mingjie’s attitude. Thinking of Liu Xiaosheng’s arrogant personality, Zhang Mingjie not only wasn’t suspicious but also was delighted. He most likely felt that his plan had worked.
This guy thought he had used me, but what he didn’t know was that Liu Xiaosheng had already seen through his intentions, and now he was being used by Liu Xiaosheng without even knowing it… I didn’t bother to care about their secret fights. After all, what they were doing had nothing to do with me. I just needed to do what I could do and what I should do. I didn’t want to spend too much of my time dealing with those things, so I didn’t tell Mo Fei about Liu Xiaosheng’s ‘deal’ with me.
I didn’t want Mo Fei to get involved in the battle between Mo Yizhi and Zhang Li. Some things were too dirty, and it was better for us dirty people to solve it for her.
Going back to the original topic, Lin Zhi wanted to talk to Zhang Mingjie because he wanted him to forgive Wang Jie. Although what happened yesterday was Wang Jie’s personal conduct, he was still a member of the police force. If this incident got bigger, it would seriously affect the image of the police force. It goes without saying that the city police bureau would not bend the law for him. Zhang Mingjie could still sue Wang Jie, and the police station would also truthfully report Wang Jie’s situation to the city, and deal with his problems in accordance with rules and regulations. What Lin Zhi was worried about was that Zhang Mingjie would deliberately tell the media and use the public exposure as a means of retaliation.
In fact, not to mention Zhang Mingjie, even if I was beaten by Wang Jie for no reason, I would have done the same… The police were already at the center of public outcry over the incident where hundreds of people were held hostage at the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort with the main culprit escaping; they were no longer able to withstand criticism from all sides.
Lin Zhi was very crafty. Telling me directly that he was responsible for this matter because of his ill-conceived arrangement was nothing more than implying to me that Zhang Mingjie was implicated by me. After all, I took away the woman that Wang Jie liked from him Moreover, I vaguely felt another layer of meaning hidden in his wordsI somehow felt like he was trying to threaten me. It seemed like if I didn’t help him to persuade Zhang Mingjie, he would take out his anger on Dong Xiaoye This damn old fox
Judging from the current situation, if I was the one who mediated the conflict, Zhang Mingjie would definitely be appeased. I didn’t believe that Lin Zhi would really take his anger out on Dong Xiaoye, but I knew that Dong Xiaoye also didn’t want to see the police’s image destroyed, and I also didn’t want others to make irresponsible remarks about her, so I had no choice but to agree to Lin Zhi that I would talk to Zhang Mingjie.
After receiving my answer, Lin Zhi left happily.
As soon as her superior left, Miss Dong became very arrogant. She pushed me aside the moment I just sat down, took off her shoes, and rubbed her feet, acting like a delinquent woman. “Pour me a glass of water, my feet hurt so much from standing up…”
“Are you serious?” I said, dissatisfied. “Even your captain didn’t dare speak to me in this tone…”
Sister Tiger rolled her eyes. “He is him, I am me, can it be the same? If it wasn’t for you, would I have to stand so long?”
I felt a little guilty. “How was it my fault…”
“Why was it not your fault?!” Sister Tiger said angrily, “Why did you come just now? If Liusu hadn’t told me that you had already left with Mo Fei, I would’ve thought that you were still in Mo Fei’s office. Didn’t you hear Captain Lin scolding me? Why can’t you make my work easier? Also…”
It would be great if you can see me through. What I’m afraid of is that not only did you not see through, but you also misunderstood… This was what I thought in my mind, but I dared not say this, or my life would be in danger.
Just when I was about to change the subject, Liusu suddenly pushed the door and walked in. She obviously heard our conversation just now. She looked at me with a half-smile, but said to Dong Xiaoye, “Of course, he wouldn’t let Sister Xiaoye follow him. He even lied to me that he went out with Mo Fei to deal with some business matters. Do you know where they went?”
I was surprised and heard Liusu continued on, “They went to the hospital with Zhang Mingjie to see Liu Xiaosheng.”
“What?!” The embarrassed look Sister Tiger had on her face when Liusu pushed the door disappeared, she patted the table and said in frustration, “Chu Nan, did your head get kicked by a donkey or what?! You were almost killed by Liu Xiaosheng! Did you forget that?!”
I ignored Dong Xiaoye because I was more curious about Liusu’s words. Unable to stand my gaze, Liusu turned her face away in panic. But I didn’t plan to let her go. “How do you know what I did?”
“I-I heard it from other people, what’s wrong with it?”
“Other people? Who?”
“Wh-why do I need to tell you?” Liusu intentionally changed the subject. “Since you always have secrets, can’t I have secrets too?”
“Even if you don’t want to tell me, I would still know anyway.” I pretended to be no longer interested in her answer and sat back on the sofa. Just when Liusu was relieved, I suddenly said, “It was Mo Fei who told you.”
“How do you kno uh” When she tried to cover her mouth, it was already too late. Liusu was both regretful and angry, she glared at me, not knowing what to say.
Liusu would not talk to Zhang Mingjie, so except Mo Fei, who else knew that I went to the hospital to see Liu Xiaosheng? I secretly smiled bitterly. Song Jia didn’t lie, Liusu and Mo Fei were really doing something behind my back. “Not only do I know about this, but I also know that it was you who told Mo Fei that my back was in pain last night because of the fight, right? I’m really curious. What are you two doing? Exchanging information? Or… showing off?”
“Show off my ass! Don’t be so full of yourself. Do you think that massaging your back is something to be proud of? And who am I showing off to, and what to show off?!” Liusu suddenly leaped over with a blushing face, throwing soft punches at my head. Even without asking her now, I knew that I was right. Those two women were indeed exchanging information, using this method to make the other party angry. Otherwise, with Liusu’s jealous personality, knowing that I went out with Mo Fei on a non-business related matter, she would’ve already gotten angry…
Seeing that I was being beaten by Liusu, Dong Xiaoye not only didn’t want to stop Liusu, but also helped push Liusu to pin me down on the sofa. Then there were those fists pounding repeatedly on my chest and head, but the strength of those punches were about the same strength as yesterday’s massage; besides not feeling any pain, I also enjoyed it very much.
Liusu and Mo Fei really had reached some kind of tacit understanding. But was this a good thing or a bad thing? I could only hope that it would turn out good.
I knew very well what I would face next and what I should do. Therefore, I would enjoy the happiness at this moment to the fullest. Even if it was only a short while, the beauty of this moment would become a beautiful memory for a lifetime.
