Chapter 748: 461 Paying a Visit to the Parents-in-law, a Marriage Proposal-like Grand Display (2nd Update)
In the rest area of the police station
Qi Zeyan glanced from the corners of his eyes at the two hulking presences, "Uh... Iâd like to use the restroom, you guys chat at your leisure."
If he stayed any longer, he might suffocate to death.
You guys are so capable, why not confront each other directly? Why keep making trouble for me, taking turns to stab me in the back? How is anyone supposed to bear this?
Although he wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold, survival was far more important. Throughout history, fleeing under the guise of going to pee has always been most effective.
"Perfect, I need to go too, Iâll join you," Jiang Jinsang also stood up.
Qi Zeyan was dumbfounded: He only knew that, in school, girls went to the bathroom in groups, but what was this about two grown men planning a bathroom rendezvous?
Clearly, Jiang Jinsang had something he wanted to discuss with Zeyan alone. It was his disadvantage in the sparring with Huo Qinqi or his lack of understanding about him and Shen Shuci.
Since Qi Zeyan had been involved the entire time, he must know many of the ins and outs. Naturally, Jinsang wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Qi Zeyan kept making eyes at Huo Qinqi:
Iâm only suffering because of you, help me out here, manâHold Jiang Jinsang back and let me make a break for it.
However, Huo Qinqi didnât ignore his plea for help, yet his response only caused Zeyan further despair: "I might as well go to the restroom too."
The final scene was...
Qi Zeyan once again flanked by the two men on his way to the restroom!
I freaking asked you to hold him back so I could escape, not for you to tag along!
...
The police stationâs restroom was obviously communal, everyone busy with their own affairs, but they couldnât help but give these three a couple of extra glances as they went to the bathroom together.
"Youâre all such good friends? Even heading to the restroom in a group."
**
Anyway, Qi Zeyanâs attempt to escape through the restroom was unsuccessful, and in the end, he returned to the rest area.
But by this time, Shen Shuci had already returned.
"How did it go? The police didnât give you a hard time, did they?" Jiang Jinsang was naturally caring and polite toward her.
"Just had to go through a recording, got a little bit of education, other than that, nothing much."
"Drink some water." Huo Qinqi handed her a cup of warm water.
"Thank you." Shen Shuci was actually quite thirsty; even though the officers offered tea during the questioning, she hadnât been able to drink due to nerves, "Wanwan and the others have gone back already, right? Have they reached home?"
Shen Shuci had already designated Tang Wan as someone to keep an eye on, worried something might happen to her.
"Theyâre home, no need to worry. Just a moment ago, she asked me what youâd like to eat tonight, weâll head directly to our place for dinner."
"Anything is fine by me."
Qi Zeyan was dumbstruck, the two who had been at each otherâs throats were now getting along famously.
It was just because Shen Shuci showed up, right? Why stop the bickering, whatâs with the pretense of being upstanding citizens?
Such drama queens!
"Then..." Shen Shuci turned to Huo Qinqi, "Thanks for today, since thereâs no issue, Iâm preparing to leave. You should head home too."
Shen Shuci had come to the rest area just to let Jiang Jinsang know she was ready to leave together.
"I was looking for Uncle Huo and Auntie Huo to thank them, but I didnât see them. I will invite them for a meal when weâre free," Shuci said, still very polite to Qinqi, putting down her cup, ready to leave with Jinsang.
To her surprise, Huo Qinqi actually spoke up, "Wait a bit more, for my parents to return."
"Hmm?" Shuci was puzzled.
Even Jiang Jinsang frowned slightly; it was indeed getting late, and elders were waiting at home. Why keep them?
"My parents and I, weâll go back with you."
"Go back with us?" Shuci frowned, why?
"To meet your parents, todayâs events, we should explain to the elders."
"..."
Meet the parents? Shen Shuci was stunned, the turn of events was becoming ever more uncontrollable.
"You should go back and get ready," Qinqi bluntly suggested, "My parents went to the mall, they might need some time."
Shuci was bewildered: Get ready for what? And what are his parents doing at the mall at this hour?
"Going to meet your parents empty-handed wouldnât be right," Qinqi added, trying to explain.
Shuci blinked, still confused, seized Qinqiâs hand, and walked straight out of the rest area.
"Hey, Auntieâ" Qi Zeyanâs eyes widened in panic, donât leave me behind.
**
But this was a police station, and with the Liang Family matter at hand, many people were busy, instantly revealing smiles at the "hand in hand" exit of the two.
Tsk tskâ
Shuci could only drag Qinqi toward an unoccupied area; sheâd been to the police station a few times but wasnât familiar with the layout. As they walked into areas with more people, her anxiety grew, and she found it even more difficult to find a way out.
When she passed the front of an office for the second time, a bold officer teased:
