Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Li Zijun Will Arrive on the Battlefield in 30 Seconds
Su Qing naturally didnāt know what kind of case he was helping with, not even the narrator mentioned it.
Despite using the narratorās ability to tear down Jiang Dabaoās psychological defenses, he knew very little, only that this guy hid some money and crucial evidence, but nothing more.
Lin Chengcai and Yan Lie wouldnāt let him know either, initially just wanting to test his insight, but unexpectedly, it caused Jiang Dabao to be uneasy, and combined with Yan Lie applying pressure, they succeeded.
And inside, Yan Lie knew what could be heard outside and what couldnāt. It seemed unruly, but actually everything was under their control.
Once Jiang Dabao opened his mouth, Su Qing was already taken out, but this also made Lin Chengcai and the others dispel their last bit of doubt about him.
They believed he had an impressive talent in criminal psychology, and as for Zhao Minghuiās case, it was probably just a stroke of luck since even Zhao Minghuiās actions were decided on the fly.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Su Qing was awakened by the vibrations from the wall beside his bed, but he didnāt mind it. As expected, everything was quiet again after the familiar two minutes.
At this, Su Qing couldnāt help but sneer; with such stamina, and he dared to call himself the neighborhood king? If his wife werenāt so stunning, he would like to show this so-called neighborhood king whatās what.
Since he was already suspected, wouldnāt it be unfair if he didnāt do something substantial?
He then stayed in bed for over an hour before slowly getting up to wash up, warmed up the leftovers from the fridge, and only ate it after hearing no warnings from the narrator.
Then he started his daily routine.
To avoid accidents, he tried not to leave the house these days, doing less to make fewer mistakes.
Before the narrator, he felt he lived well and never encountered any major incidents in his life, but since the narrator came along, he felt his life was unpredictable.
Every now and then, a life-changing opportunity would present itself before him. If he acted, he didnāt know whether it would be good or bad, as in just half a month, he had already ended up in the police station twice. If he didnāt do anything, he felt unsatisfied.
The most troublesome part was Shen Yi, who was fairly easy to deal with, except for her habit of sending voice messages at night. The main concern was Li Zijun at the police station. Even though he knew it had nothing to do with him, it still worried him for a while.
He was always afraid that his meddling last time at the police station would bring trouble. After all, even a casual remark could make him a suspect, and this case was much more serious than the last. Fortunately, he was cautious and didnāt directly reveal what he knew. Instead, he chose to engage in a psychological battle, while subtly suggesting some clues.
However, he was still uneasy, as who knows what might happen.
Noon came, and Su Qing let out a heavy sigh while sitting in front of his computer.
After selling all his stocks, he had accumulated a few thousand more on top of the thirty thousand excluding Wang Xingās twenty thousand, and it was growing faster, but he still didnāt withdraw it and instead adjusted his investments slightly again.
For someone with a narrator, this was just skilled manual work devoid of technical content, mostly relying on luck.
Just as he was about to order some delivery, his phone suddenly rang. It was Shen Yi.
"Hello, are you at home?"
As soon as he picked up, Shen Yiās knowledgeable voice came through the phone.
"Yeah, why?"
"Great, Iām downstairs, which floor do you live on? Iāll come to you!"
Hearing this, Su Qingās eyes widened immediately, and he rushed to the window to take a look. Sure enough, he saw Shen Yi in a light green dress standing downstairs.
"Six... sixth floor!"
"Alright, got it!"
With that, the call was directly cut off, and soon Shen Yi was climbing up the stairs with her dress in her hands, while Su Qing opened the door waiting.
"How come your apartment complex doesnāt even have an elevator? You should really consider moving." Shen Yi started complaining as soon as they met.
Hearing this, Su Qing led her inside while laughing, "Iām saving money, you know. Iām not a rich woman."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi rolled her eyes, then slyly said, "I told you last time to find someone, and you didnāt, now youāre blaming me? If you want, I can help you rent a place, even at my place, if you dare to come over."
Su Qing didnāt take her words seriously at all. He knew not much truth came out of this womanās mouth, yet somehow she made it clear her words were meant as a joke. Not even the narrator interrupted, which made it obvious that compared to her, Jiang Mengtingās level was a bit low, clearly not in the same league.
Changing into the slippers he handed over, Shen Yi made herself comfortable on the sofa, looked around, and said in surprise, "I didnāt expect a guy living alone to keep the place tidy and odor-free!"
Su Qing: ...
It was one thing when Li Zijun asked the same thing earlier, considering her occupational habitsābut what was her case? Itās like all bachelors must live in doghouses?
"Why do you women always say that? Is it some sort of universal affliction for women?" Su Qing handed her a cold drink from the fridge.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yi froze for a moment, then asked with a mocking gaze, "We women? So, youāve had other women here asking you this?"
Though subtle, Su Qing still detected a hint of a different tone in her banter.
"Hey, hey, stop right there. Iām not your boyfriend, so why are you being so nosy?"
"Ah, I was right! Is she your girlfriend? If so, I should leave to avoid any misunderstandings." Shen Yi laughed, but deep in her eyes was a hint of sadness she wasnāt even aware of.
Su Qing rolled his eyes at her and replied, "My sister. Sheās a police officer. She was just visiting and made the same comments."
Hearing this, Shen Yiās smile brightened considerably, but she still said, "Sister? Well, Iām also a sister, you know."
Even though they hadnāt known each other for long, Su Qing had grown used to her style of teasing. Ever since he woke up in her room, this woman maintained that tone, so he sat down on a chair next to her and asked:
"Youāre such a busy person; how come you have time to visit me today? Arenāt you working?"
š»š³š¦š¦šøāÆš·šÆš°š£āÆš.š¤šš®
Shen Yi flicked her hair back with a smile, "Iām not a robot. Isnāt it reasonable to take Saturday afternoon off? Iāve been under a lot of work pressure, so I figured Iād invite you out this afternoon to unwind a bit. How about it, wanna go? And Iām treating you to something nice."
Thinking carefully about his plans for the afternoon, Su Qing realized he had some time and was about to agree, but the next second, the unexpected voice of the narrator made his heart skip a beat.
[As the saying goes, when two exceptionally beautiful women meet, itās a battlefield of carnage. Li Zijun will arrive in thirty seconds, so brace yourself.]
Su Qing: Ī£(āā½ā"
