Chapter 381: Chapter 377: Xu Feng Arrested
That night, Shen Yi swaggered into Su Qingâs bedroom, even went back to her room twice to retrieve some personal items, looking like she planned to stay there for a while.
Although she appeared calm, she was still a woman. Facing such a situation, it was natural for her to be flustered. Now being asked to go back to sleep by herself, she certainly wouldnât sleep well.
If nothing had really happened, there was no way she wouldâve come pounding on his door and then stayed in his arms for such a long time.
From the video, it was clear that Xu Feng had used considerable strength at the time. Fortunately, he probably wasnât very experienced and his movements werenât smooth; otherwise, for a woman facing a grown man, it would be nearly impossible to escape. Except, of course, for Li Zijun.
Generally, for a man to escape from her hands would already be impressive; if heâs a bit weak, or lighter in weight, he wouldnât stand a chance against her.
Of course, if she were armed, her combat capability would increase exponentially.
"Splash!!"
Hearing the sounds from the bathroom, Su Qing couldnât help letting his imagination run wild. Just a door away, there was a fair-skinned body inside, and it belonged to a woman with a stunning figure. Any man would have some sort of thoughts, considering he was a normal man and not an eunuch like that old man Huang.
"Little brother~~"
Suddenly, an excessively sweet feminine voice came from the bathroom. It sounded like it belonged to some online influencer.
Instantly, Su Qing snapped to attention: "What? Do you want me to bring you a towel?"
Thatâs how it usually plays out on TV, right? A woman baths, asks a man to bring her a towel, and then an accident happens where the man sees the woman completely naked, after which the woman develops an attachment to him. It was all logical and internally consistent. He even started pondering whether he had extra towels at home.
"Bah, in your dreams! I just want to know, why is there no water at home!"
"No water? That canât be! Thereâs no water outage. Stop pretending to be a helpless tenant; how about calling Sister Wen to ask?" Once he realized it wasnât a request for a towel, Su Qing lost interest immediately.
"I meant, why is there no hot water!"
Su Qing:...
"Youâve been in there for nearly an hour; no heater can withstand that. Wait a minute... No hot water? What about my shower?"
This was precisely the hassle of a woman bathing. It wouldâve taken him only about ten minutes tops.
The bathroom went silent for over ten minutes, and then Shen walked out clad in a fine silk bathrobe, drying her hair along the way.
The bathrobe was black, with a tie around the waist, perfectly accentuating her curves. Her upper body was voluptuously--the loose robe adding an intriguing beauty.
While the robe didnât feature a deep V-cut, Su Qing still rated it poorly in his mind. But at least its length above the knee allowed a glimpse of her straight, long legs, which was a bit of a consolation prize.
"What are you looking at? Go to bed, we have work tomorrow!" Feeling his gaze, Shen Yi slightly flushed and then glared at him.
She immediately ran up the stairs barefoot.
"Hey, wear some slippers, thatâs my bed!" Su Qing shouted, but the only response he got was the loud slamming of a door.
Shen Yi had this weird habit of not wearing shoes at home. Wasnât she afraid of catching a cold from the icy floor?
On the other side, Shen Yi closed the door and curled her lips into a slight smile. If she had known it was so easy to move in, why exert so much effort initially?
"Does this count as cohabiting now?"
Muttering to herself, she flung away the bathrobe, her fair skin resembling a homing swallow diving into Su Qingâs original bed.
"Ah~~~ comfortable!"
In the end, Su Qing had to endure a quick rinse with the nearly cold water before making his way to lie down on the sofa.
The next day, because of what transpired yesterday, as her driver and secretary, he was back to work.
"You suspect that person yesterday was Xu Feng?" In Shen Yiâs office, while Su Qing was checking the backend data of his social media account, Shen Yi asked in surprise.
"Itâs just a suspicion, but I think itâs quite likely." Su Qin nodded, finishing the water in his cup and casually handing it over for a refill, which Shen Yi naturally did without thinking.
"That canât be. I didnât get a clear look at his face, how could you..."
"I said itâs just a suspicion. Think about it, Jiang City isnât as big as the capital or Shanghai, but itâs not a mere town either. How could the law and order be that poor? Even in towns nowadays, we seldom hear about homeless people or mentally ill individuals harming others. The police officers who came yesterday also suggested it was intentional, and asked if you had ongoing disputes with anyone lately.
You could have issues with whom? Youâve been in Jiang City for less than a year. The only person you mightâve had a conflict with would be Xu Feng. A young, promising, and successful entrepreneur that you pretty much turned into an outcast. Isnât it logical that he couldnât handle it and opted for revenge?" Su Qing spoke while scrolling through his mouse, his eyes never leaving the computer.
He discovered that the narrator was incredibly adept at handling matters that required information.
In his presence, there seemed to be no secrets. If he became a police officer, almost no case would be difficult for him, whether it was a locked-room murder or a cold case. As long as the conditions were sufficient, he could always quickly identify the perpetrator.
He even had to give himself an extra challenge to perfect the process.
"This... now that you mention it, that person yesterday really does resemble Xu Feng a bit in terms of physique!" Shen Yi said, thoughtfully pinching her fair chin, but she quickly retorted:
"If it really is him, then I..."
"No worries, when those two officers questioned me yesterday, I mentioned Xu Feng. Besides, weâve got surveillance everywhere. Escaping wonât be that easy. Just wait, news will come soon enough." Su Qing said confidently.
Itâs not that he had faith in the two officers from yesterday, considering there werenât any severe consequences, and the surveillance didnât capture a clear image of the person. Checking the surveillance would undoubtedly be a hefty task.
He had faith in the person Xu Feng stabbed; theyâre bound to report it to the police. Once the identity is confirmed, the arrest should be easy, right?
Perhaps theyâve already captured him, just havenât interrogated him about what happened last night.
"Letâs hope so. If thereâs no information on him, Sister Wen plans to move."
Upon hearing this, Su Qing broke into a cold sweat. No wonder they say the richer someone is, the more they cherish their lifeâno truer words have been spoken.
Finally, when noon came, Shen Yi said she didnât sleep well last night, found his bed too hard, so she decided to take a nap, giving him some free time.
In the office area outside, he met up with the two-person narrator gang that he hadnât seen in a while for lunch.
"Hey, who was that guy this morning? And why does it feel like weâre short a few people here?" Su Qing asked, sitting at a vacated workstation.
Hearing this, the social bandit sneered: "Youâre the big shot in the company, no time to pay attention to trivial departmental matters. Xiaomei and Fangfang resigned. That guy is Bai Hao, heâs the new guy in our department, fresh out of school. Younger than you~ This big department doesnât even have a man, even changing the water is a struggle!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qing was taken aback: "They resigned? When did that happen?"
He only knew their names but had barely spoken to these two colleagues, only remembering them as quiet girls who were nice.
"They left at the start of the month. You havenât been to the company for half a month. Guess pulling strings really works, huh. By the way, is your âAuntâ... ahem, President Shen going to promote you to department manager next?" Sun Mumu asked curiously.
Su Qing: ...
"Get out of here, I got it by my own ability, okay!"
"Your so-called ability, if I had a good aunt like you, Iâd be soaring already. I heard from Junjun that you solved the case yesterday and that you played a major role. There might even be a commendation. Is that true? I canât tell, Officer Su, tell me more, the companyâs too boring. Without you around, even I donât have the spirit to work!"
"Didnât Sister Jun tell you?"
"No, she never tells me details about her cases at the police station. Otherwise, why would I ask you?"
"If Sister Jun didnât tell you, then I dare not say, itâs classified. Talking about it would breach discipline. Also, try not to pry into societal matters, watch more Teletubbies, keep your innocence."
Sun Mumu: ...
"Miaomiao, what are you looking at?" Su Qing asked curiously, seeing the airhead engrossed in staring at the computer.
"Ah, me? Iâm... Iâm learning to cook! Lately, Wang Xing has been preparing for civil service exams, studying hard. Itâs tiring, so I want to cook something he loves and bring it to him!" Lin Miaomiao said quietly, her face flushed but she still answered him softly.
In her view, since these two already knew her intentions, there was no need to keep it a secret.
"Oh~~~" *2
The two immediately felt a pang of jealousy, making their teeth ache.
[Over time, their relationship got better and better, and Wang Xing finally got to live a life of leisure, as he desired starry-eyed.]
Meanwhile, at Jiang Cityâs high-speed rail station, Xu Feng was nervously pacing back and forth in the hall. His mom called to tell him the police were after him.
With that, he decided to hide out of town for a while. But as he was waiting for the train, a few plainclothes officers ambushed him from all sides, pinning him to the ground right there.
Thus, Xu Feng played himself into a corner.
