【116. Funeral】

Cheng Qingxing instantly became alert, holding the armrest of the wheelchair tightly without saying a word.

He wouldn't say another word until Zheng Xuhe had made his words clear.

"After you were on the stretcher, Li Dong went to check the coercive rope and found that the rope did not break naturally." Zheng Xuhe took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album.

He handed the phone to Cheng Qingxing, then squatted in front of him, saying with a guilty tone, "The police officers over there just changed the ropes a week ago, so there shouldn't be any problems like this."

Logically speaking, it really won't happen.

But what if it doesn’t go according to reason?

Cheng Qingxing looked at the photos on his phone and smiled without saying anything.

"Li Dong told me that it was because he knew that the person who did this was someone he couldn't afford to offend." Zheng Xuhe flipped through two photos on his phone.

One is a scene of Qin Shaojie chatting with a middle-aged man, and the other is a video of the middle-aged man appearing in the equipment room of the crew.

"Li Sicheng, I'm a minor actor in the crew. There are no cameras in the equipment room. But before you got into trouble, you were the only one in the equipment room with your coercion, and you were the only one who knew how to use it."

Hearing this, Cheng Qingxing leaned there, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see. I thought I was unlucky."

Cheng Qingxing actually suspected that someone was deliberately targeting him, so he asked Sister Li to check the surveillance. Unfortunately, Sister Li didn't find anything, after all, she had no power.

"There is an extra 500,000 in Li Sicheng's account. I'm sorry about Qin Shaojie's matter."

Zheng Xuhe was kneeling on one knee, his eyes full of regret.

"I had a bad attitude in the hospital." Zheng Xuhe said sincerely, "I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at myself. If I hadn't pushed you out at the beginning, maybe there wouldn't be so many things."

All the harm that Cheng Qingxing suffered now was because he wanted to help him at that time.

If no one wanted to help him, he wouldn't have been targeted by Qin Shaojie, and so many things wouldn't have happened.

Cheng Qingxing really wanted to tell him that these things had nothing to do with him.

But the cause of the incident was that so-called audition, and he couldn't say anything to comfort Zheng Xuhe.

"I think I should tell you about this." Zheng Xuhe said seriously, "How do you want to deal with Qin Shaojie's matter?"

The world was exceptionally quiet. Cheng Qingxing sat there, thinking of what Qin Shaojie had said to him. So he reached out and grabbed his wrist, and asked, "Did you two sign a contract?"

Zheng Xuhe was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Did he tell you about this?"

"Why would you do that for me?" Cheng Qingxing's voice trembled. "It doesn't seem to be worth the price, right?"

"It's not a question of whether you are worthy or not. It's because his relationship with you started with me. I have to resolve this matter once and for all."

Zheng Xuhe's tone was very certain, "Cheng Qingxing, some things are not about money, but about people."

Cheng Qingxing smiled awkwardly. It was not about money.

These are the words he still can't say.

He has been besieged by money for too long.

After a long silence, Zheng Xuhe spoke again: "I'm sorry about your injury. I plan to find Qin Shaojie and ask him not to do that again in the future..."

"He breached the contract, so you should make him pay compensation." Cheng Qingxing interrupted him directly.

"Ah?" Zheng Xuhe couldn't believe his ears, "What did you say?"

"You have evidence now. He has breached the gambling agreement between you and him. The agreement is void and he must pay the money."

Zheng Xuhe never thought of asking Qin Shaojie for compensation.

He just wanted to keep things peaceful and resolve the grudge between Cheng Qingxing and him.

"Then what will happen next—"

"My future is my business." Cheng Qingxing looked into his eyes seriously, "Don't you understand? Neither he nor Bai Hengxi will look at me well. You've lost money by signing this contract."

Zheng Xuhe didn't answer him, but was thinking about what he said.

"On the surface, he said he would not touch me again. Behind the scenes, he could instigate Bai Hengxi to do it, or he could ask someone else to do it." Cheng Qingxing lowered his head and looked at the photos in his phone. "In this world, there are countless people who can become Li Sicheng."

As long as there is money, someone will do this again.

"Let him pay. He can't win the lawsuit." Cheng Qingxing said seriously, "Zheng Xuhe, Qin Shaojie, we have to work together to bring him down."

Zheng Xuhe was stunned. He looked at Cheng Qingxing with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Cheng Qingxing's words were like a ray of light, illuminating a corner that he had never noticed.

He had never thought that Cheng Qingxing would have such a cruel and ruthless side.

In Zheng Xuhe's memory, Cheng Qingxing was strong, sunny and positive, and he never had such a sinister side.

But after thinking about it, he decided that he shouldn't use the word "sinister". He was just seriously trying to find a solution for himself.

"Have you really thought it through? The Qin family is not easy to deal with." Zheng Xuhe asked in a low voice, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Cheng Qingxing raised his head, his eyes firm and clear: "I have checked, the Qin family is not the only son, it is impossible to send him to Orange, but it is easy to ask his parents to send him abroad."

"If you have thought it through, I will definitely help you." Zheng Xuhe raised his hand to cover his mouth, "Let's talk about the rest when we get home."

He nodded, and Zheng Xuhe let go of his hand and slowly stood up.

"What color are you going to change into?"

"Gray waiter's clothes."

Cheng Qingxing looked at the person rummaging through the clothes, feeling inexplicably comfortable, and smiled with his head down.

"Perhaps, this is the relationship we should have had from the beginning." Cheng Qingxing looked at his phone case. "Cooperation will make both of us win."

Zheng Xuhe came out with his clothes and nodded, "After we deal with Qin Shaojie, there will be no relationship between the two of us."

He casually put the clothes on Zheng Xuhe, then patted his shoulder and said in a relaxed tone: "I will no longer care whether you are dead or alive. Even if you really die outside, I don't care."

"Then will you come to my funeral?" Cheng Qingxing asked him with a smile.

He said this subconsciously. He thought it was just a joke to make the relaxed atmosphere less awkward, but the face of the man opposite him immediately sank.

"I was just kidding." Cheng Qingxing explained with an awkward smile, lowered his head guiltily, and played with his lamb keychain, "Don't take it to heart."

After a long silence, when Cheng Qingxing thought he would not answer this question, Zheng Xuhe spoke.

"Yes, I will go to your funeral."
