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 Zhiâs 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 Hengâs case.
Long Xiaotianâs 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.
âMr. Chu, hehe, it seems that we are really bound by fateâŠâ 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. âThere are two places that I donât 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.â
âThat depends on how you look at it.â Lin Zhi glanced back at Dong Xiaoye, and said to me with a wry smile, âBut 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 firstâŠâ
I knew that Lin Zhi was referring to the matter of arranging Dong Xiaoye to protect me, but I didnât want to continue this topic. After asking him to sit down, I asked, âWhereâs Wang Jie?â
âHe was temporarily relieved of his work.â Lin Zhi shook his head and said, âOriginally, I wanted him to apologize to you and Mr. Zhang in person, but considering Mr. Zhangâs current mood⊠itâs better for me to come here first.â
âHuh?â I didnât 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, âTo be honest, Iâm here to apologize to your company on behalf of the Municipal Police Bureau. In addition, I have a favor that I want to askâŠâ
I didnât say anything and listened to Lin Zhiâs words quietly. It turned out that he didnât 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 didnât come back. However, Zhang Mingjieâs 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 yuanâŠ
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 Mingjieâs attitude. Thinking of Liu Xiaoshengâs arrogant personality, Zhang Mingjie not only wasnât suspicious but also was delighted. He most likely felt that his plan had worked.
This guy thought he had used me, but what he didnât 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 didnât 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 didnât want to spend too much of my time dealing with those things, so I didnât tell Mo Fei about Liu Xiaoshengâs âdealâ with me.
I didnât 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 Jieâs 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 Jieâs 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 didnât 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 didnât believe that Lin Zhi would really take his anger out on Dong Xiaoye, but I knew that Dong Xiaoye also didnât want to see the policeâs image destroyed, and I also didnât 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. âPour me a glass of water, my feet hurt so much from standing upâŠâ
âAre you serious?â I said, dissatisfied. âEven your captain didnât dare speak to me in this toneâŠâ
Sister Tiger rolled her eyes. âHe is him, I am me, can it be the same? If it wasnât for you, would I have to stand so long?â
I felt a little guilty. âHow was it my faultâŠâ
âWhy was it not your fault?!â Sister Tiger said angrily, âWhy did you come just now? If Liusu hadnât told me that you had already left with Mo Fei, I wouldâve thought that you were still in Mo Feiâs office. Didnât you hear Captain Lin scolding me? Why canât you make my work easier? AlsoâŠâ
It would be great if you can see me through. What Iâm 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, âOf course, he wouldnât 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?â
I was surprised and heard Liusu continued on, âThey went to the hospital with Zhang Mingjie to see Liu Xiaosheng.â
âWhat?!â The embarrassed look Sister Tiger had on her face when Liusu pushed the door disappeared, she patted the table and said in frustration, âChu Nan, did your head get kicked by a donkey or what?! You were almost killed by Liu Xiaosheng! Did you forget that?!â
I ignored Dong Xiaoye because I was more curious about Liusuâs words. Unable to stand my gaze, Liusu turned her face away in panic. But I didnât plan to let her go. âHow do you know what I did?â
âI-I heard it from other people, whatâs wrong with it?â
âOther people? Who?â
âWh-why do I need to tell you?â Liusu intentionally changed the subject. âSince you always have secrets, canât I have secrets too?â
âEven if you donât want to tell me, I would still know anyway.â I pretended to be no longer interested in her answer and sat back on the sofa. Just when Liusu was relieved, I suddenly said, âIt was Mo Fei who told you.â
âHow do you kno uhâ 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 didnât lie, Liusu and Mo Fei were really doing something behind my back. âNot 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? Iâm really curious. What are you two doing? Exchanging information? Or⊠showing off?â
âShow off my ass! Donât 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?!â 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 Liusuâs jealous personality, knowing that I went out with Mo Fei on a non-business related matter, she wouldâve already gotten angryâŠ
Seeing that I was being beaten by Liusu, Dong Xiaoye not only didnât 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 yesterdayâs 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.
