Chapter 41 Breaking up with that woman

The district bureau leaders were in a meeting at the time. When they heard that Mr. Yan had arrived, they sent a few people to receive him.

Yan Baiqing's appointment documents in this city have not been issued yet, which is very unusual, and the outside world has all kinds of speculations.

However, even without an official announcement, some smart people in the same unit have already started to solicit people for social events in private.

Judging from his resume alone, he is always polite wherever he goes.

Yan Baiqing came here without a clear purpose, and mentioned the charity concert to be held by Chen Qing School at the end of the month.

The concert is not held in this area, so the procedures are naturally not under the jurisdiction of the district bureau.

After he left, the leader pondered for a long time and then slapped his forehead, "Go find the people who recently reported the crime. Anyone who has anything to do with this school, and send them to me."

"It's such a thick stack, you——"

"What nonsense!"

For someone like Yan Baiqing, if he wants someone to do something for him, he has to be roundabout.

To avoid being criticized.

The leader was complacent and felt lucky that he was still senile.

Two days later, the subordinates handed in five files.

He looked through them one by one and accurately found the transcript of Chen Qing's report of the case, and went to the police station in person.

In the evening, Yan Baiqing was meeting a guest in a teahouse when his cell phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen, got up and went out.

"Mr. Yan, that female classmate named Chen Qing, her situation is a bit tricky..."

Yan Baiqing put one hand in his pocket and said nothing.

The other party coughed and continued, "The man bit the woman to death because he seduced her first, and then he hurt her because they couldn't agree on the price. After he had a witness—"

He paused.

The police station originally did not disclose who the additional witness was, but after questioning, they finally gave in.

He recognized it was Yan Baiqing, but he couldn't say it openly.

So, they changed the story and said, "Having a witness only proves that there was no transaction between the woman and the man. Now the man is demanding proof of rape. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the bureau to define it as special defense."

Yan Baiqing smiled faintly.

Given the abilities of the landlord couple, it is hard to imagine who will make the claim and who will provide evidence for this point.

There's someone behind the scenes directing him.

The district bureau leader sighed, "I want to help, but I'm unable to. The pressure behind this case is too great."

"Tao Siran." Yan Baiqing said in a firm tone.

The silence from the other side was considered as consent.

"I understand. It's hard work."

…

Chen Qing has been very busy recently.

Two days before the concert, the department head informed her to prepare a solo.

The professional teacher stayed with her in the piano room until nightfall.

There's no way, it's too sudden, and the group performance also needs rehearsal.

The department head wished she could save time for eating and sleeping.

After the last incident in the dormitory, her roommates' attitude towards her remained the same. She tried hard to pretend that she didn't care whether they said anything behind her back or not.

Yuan Hui followed Chen Qing wherever she went, saying that Chen Qing was bullied because she was not there.

"Mr. Yan is so handsome!" She smiled foolishly while holding her soy milk. She had said this sentence no less than a hundred times. "He is simply your destined noble man, Chen Qing——"

Yuan Hui snuggled up to Chen Qing's shoulder, smiling indifferently.

Chen Qing was ticklish and hid from her head, "What are you doing? Stop acting like a spoiled child."

"When you become Mrs. Yan, don't forget me."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I won't help you with Mr. Cai's homework."

She is now afraid of being tied to Yan Baiqing. Jiang Jingyan seemed to be still angry with her when they ran into each other in the teahouse last time, and he ignored her.

Since he didn't contact him first, Chen Qing didn't dare to call to disturb him.

It just so happened that she didn't have time to think about it.

The night before the performance, Yuan Hui was so nervous that she couldn't sleep, and so was Chen Qing.

This was her first time performing on stage in a theater, and it was Tao Siran who made it possible for her to do so.

She was anxious and uneasy.

A woman's jealousy and unwillingness can be devastating.

Even if the Chen family still existed, they would be like ants in front of the Tao family.

If Tao Siran wanted to deal with her, it would be easy.

After sleeping in fear all night, Chen Qing's dark circles covered his entire face the next day.

The performance is at 6:30 pm, and the department has one last rehearsal.

After getting off the stage, Chen Qing was looking for his coat in the locker room, and the phone in his pocket kept ringing.

It was Jiang Jingyan.

"How are the preparations going?"

She pursed her lips, "It's fine."

"The Luos will be there." The man seemed to be walking, his voice rhythmically and powerfully speaking, "I'll be there too."

Chen Qingxin trembled and nodded.

"Have you heard what Lian Zhuo said?"

She hummed again.

Lian Zhuo called the next day and said that the police had issued a protection order and would not allow the landlord to approach her.

The call ended here, but it calmed Chen Qing's anxious mood a little.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the performers gathered and took the school bus to the theater.

At 2:30, the three schools held their final lottery.

At this moment, Jiang Jingyan had just finished a meeting in Huasheng, and his brows were full of fatigue.

Mrs. Jiang insisted that he go home and called him several times.

As soon as he entered the door, the nanny came up to remind him, "Grandpa is back."

Jiang Jingyan paused. It was not the weekend, and Jiang Zhongyi rarely went home.

He walked around the screen, taking off his coat as he went.

Jiang Zhongyi sat upright on the sofa, his mood unclear.

"Why are you back at this time?"

Jiang Zhongyi drank a sip of tea and said nothing.

Mrs. Jiang came down from upstairs and urged him, "Jingyan, go change your clothes and accompany me to see Mrs. Tao first."

"Wait a minute." Jiang Zhongyi put down his teacup, his eyes dark. "Your mother said you had a mistress outside. Is that true?"

Jiang Jingyan said calmly, "Father, do you think this is abnormal?"

Jiang Zhongyi was about to get angry.

Mrs. Jiang hurried downstairs to try to reconcile. "Why do you have to say it now? Can't we talk about it after tonight?"

"Now I have to take my time to teach Mr. Jiang a lesson."

Jiang Jingyan stood with his hands down and said, "I dare not."

The nanny and servants had already left the living room, leaving only three people.

Jiang Zhongyi placed his hands on his knees and said solemnly, "I think you are brave enough to admit it, but you know the nature of this matter."

"It won't affect what happens after you retire from the army."

"You said it won't affect you, so what?"

Jiang Jingyan remained silent.

Mrs. Chiang also sat on the sofa, one on her left and one on her right.

"Jingyan, don't blame me for being nosy with your father. The hotel's surveillance clearly captured you entering with a woman. I won't get angry and will give you enough time. If you've completely broken up, tell your father that we'll let bygones be bygones."

Jiang Jingyan walked to the sofa and laughed, "Impossible."

Mrs. Jiang's heart sank. "What's impossible?"

"Surveillance is impossible." He sat down, folded up his sleeves, and said lazily, "If my mother wants to deceive me, she must have factual evidence."

Mrs. Jiang choked and was speechless.

Jiang Zhongyi was not so easily deceived. His eyes were blazing. "When are you going to deal with it?"

Jiang Jingyan tugged at his collar in frustration, leaned back on the sofa, and moved his ears. "It's been dealt with."

Jiang Zhongyi didn't believe it at all and stared at him, "Did you deal with it before meeting Miss Tao?"

"Miss Tao and I are not suitable."

"You're trying every possible way to make up lies to fool your mother. Is it because she's not suitable or doesn't like it?"

That night, Jiang Jingyan went home to explain, but Jiang Zhongyi still had doubts in his mind.

It was not until Mrs. Jiang told him the whole conversation during this period that he immediately understood what Jiang Jingyan was planning.

The living room is like an ice cellar.

Jiang Jingyan rubbed his lower lip and replied to Jiang Zhongyi, "Both."

Mrs. Jiang pressed on, "Si Ran doesn't suit your taste, so who else out there suits your taste?"

"Otherwise, I'm free."

Such an attitude completely angered Jiang Zhongyi.

He stood up suddenly, his aura irresistible, "Your mother carefully selected the Tao family, which is a good match. I advise you to start tonight and change your mind. I'll give you a week."

Jiang Jingyan raised his eyelids and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Let's settle this with the guy outside, otherwise, I'll do the hard work for Mr. Jiang."

He immediately looked solemn and gloomy.

The hostility surged up from his body.

As they passed each other, Jiang Zhongyi tilted his head and asked, "Are you just relaxing with that person, or are you serious about it?"

Jiang Jing said nothing.

This silence was filled with undercurrents, and Mrs. Chiang also became serious, waiting for his answer.

After a long while, he threw his cufflinks away and said, "Stop joking."
