Chapter 78 Quarrel

When Fu Chengyun arrived at the police station, Ning Chelizi, the Rainbow Group and the rescued teenager were standing by the desk with their heads hung, each one more depressed than the other.

Zhao Si looked at Ning Che and smiled, "We meet again so soon!"

Ning Che stared at the handcuffs in a daze, but Lizi was very excited, her eyes shining as she looked at the police captain. "Wow, police officers are so handsome."

"Idiot!" Ning Che cursed in a low voice.

Lizi's attention was all on Zhao Si, and she didn't hear what he said at all.

Zhao Si, always alert, heard everything clearly. He found it amusing that this silly girl wasn't even bothered by being scolded, but just looked at him with amusement.

Zhao Si looked around and only Li Zi, who was grinning at him, seemed friendly. He said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Lizzie stopped smiling and scratched her head, blinking her big eyes.

"I don't know."

Zhao Si: “…”

"No, then you participated in the whole process, so you don't know what happened?"

Lizzie nodded. "The process, I know that."

"They were bullying people, and then my sister-in-law rescued them. They ran away, and the rainbow-haired guys started crying. My sister-in-law told them to stop crying and find them jobs. Purple-haired guy refused to agree and insisted on becoming a gangster. My sister-in-law agreed to help him, and then you guys came."

Lizzie chattered away, leaving the Rainbow Furries stunned.

Ning Che raised his head with a matter-of-fact smile on his face and gave Lizi a thumbs up.

Zhao Si was skeptical and turned to look at the young man who had remained silent. "Is that so?"

The young man glanced at Zhao Si, then quickly lowered his head to stare at his fingers, his voice barely louder than a mosquito's. "I was afraid these people would harm these two kindhearted people, so I ran away and called the police."

"Okay, we have a basic understanding of the situation. We will retrieve nearby surveillance footage for further verification."

Zhao Si mechanically repeated his professional rhetoric, his eyes always fixed on Ning Che, never leaving him for even a second.

Seeing him say his closing remarks, Zimao became anxious and screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Comrade police officer, you can't just take our story for granted. This long-haired guy broke our legs, so we can't move. He also said that if we don't work for Fu's, he'll cut out our tongues and eyes and throw us into a cesspool to be eaten by maggots!"

"Don't you care!"

One stone can cause a thousand ripples.

The six silent rainbow-haired girls suddenly got the courage from somewhere and shouted, "That's right, aren't you police officers?"

"We're going to sue him for intentional injury!"

"What kind of Fu Group is this? They're just trying to sell us to Myanmar!"

"That's all I have!"

…

The wailing and shouting in the house were deafening and could be heard clearly from two miles away.

Fu Chengyun had almost grasped the whole situation during his walk from the door to the office. As soon as he entered, his face was darker than the ash at the bottom of a pot.

Assistant Lin knocked on the door and said, "Comrade police officer, we are here to bail you out."

The soft female voice was drowned out by the mournful cries of injustice. Zhao Si was completely overwhelmed by their shouting. Lizi watched Zhao Si in a daze, while the rainbow-haired girls were busy crying.

No one in the house noticed the two people standing at the door.

Ning Che slammed the table and shouted, "Shut up!"

The clamor was so intense that it gave him a headache. He couldn't understand why he was arrested for merely tapping their legs.

If you dare to complain again, I will press their mute xue and make them unable to utter a word in their life!

A gloomy and terrifying atmosphere spread around him, and the people in the room even breathed cautiously, fearing that they would disturb this living king of hell.

His cold eyes swept over the circle of rainbow hair, and the seven heads immediately drooped to their chests, not daring to breathe.

"Let's see who dares to shout again! I'll cut off your tongue—"

Before he could finish his words, he caught sight of the gloomy face at the door.

Ning Che was stunned for a moment, and the invisible hostility surrounding him also stagnated. In just a moment, it dissipated visibly.

"Fu, Fu Chengyun, I..."

He stammered, like a child caught doing something wrong.

Assistant Lin gave Ning Che a look, signaling that his boss was angry. Then he turned to Zhao Si and continued, "Hello, Captain Zhao, let's go through the bail procedures."

Only then did Zhao Si come back to his senses from the sudden pressure from Ning Che, and quickly asked Assistant Lin and Fu Chengyun to sit down.

"Come in."

As luck would have it, as soon as Fu Chengyun entered the door, two team members came in with surveillance video.

It was nothing more than a provocation, not a serious case. This kind of case was treated like a family matter or a mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship.

Director Zhao was too lazy to explain one by one, so he asked Fu Chengyun to sit down and take charge of the situation.

"It's not a big deal anyway, so the family members should go and see what's going on."

Fu Chengyun looked Ning Che over, left and right, and only looked away after confirming that he was not injured. He sat down without saying a word.

The computer screen showed what happened in the alley, which was almost the same as what the few people described.

Fu Chengyun didn't have the heart to watch his baby's crime again. His attention was focused on the subtle sound behind him.

The sound of extremely slow footsteps continued behind him, the sound inexplicably revealing a sense of guilt. From far away, it gradually approached, until it stopped behind him.

There was another clang of sounds, and the handcuffed little hands were hesitantly placed on his shoulders.

Her fingers curled and unclenched, hesitating for a few rounds before finally squeezing his shoulder gently.

The little fox knew he was wrong and was acting coquettishly with him.

Such an arrogant person is willing to take the initiative to show goodwill in front of me.

Fu Chengyun's anger dissipated in an instant, and a feeling of bitterness surged in his heart.

It's all my fault. I wasn't tolerant enough towards him. That's why he kept everything from me.

The hand on his knees moved. He wanted to take that hand and pat it, telling him not to be afraid, I will take care of it.

He raised his hand into the air and then dropped it back down.

Fu Chengyun thought again, a fight can be a big deal or a small one. Today it's throwing stones at people, and tomorrow it's stabbing people with a knife.

He thought of the gun at home...

If we continue to tolerate this, one day he might shoot and kill people!

The little fox was wild and difficult to tame, yet also possessed extraordinary abilities. He had no choice but to harden his heart and teach him a lesson.

Otherwise, if one day I can’t protect it anymore, the little fox will definitely suffer.

With his hands clenched in his knees, Fu Chengyun suppressed the urgent urge to comfort Ning Che and remained stern without responding.

Ning Che stood on a high place and saw all of Fu Chengyun's movements. His expression changed the next second when the hand returned to his knee.

I've already admitted my mistake, and you're still throwing a tantrum at me!

Besides, I'm not wrong!

He immediately got angry, put his feet on Fu Chengyun's stool, and looked at the computer screen coldly.

He sneered, domineering and arrogant.

"Humph! Formalism!" He gestured to Assistant Lin to go through the paperwork, then added, "Even the gravest of crimes can be settled with money."

Zhao Si was stung by the contempt in his eyes. He wanted to refute, but it was true.

His face was grim, and he said in a cold voice: "In addition to provoking trouble, don't forget that you are also involved in fraud."

"What fraud?"

Fu Chengyun was the first to get restless. Even though he was usually gentle and steady, he always lost his composure when it came to Ning Che's affairs.

"Didn't he just beat someone up?" Fu Chengyun stood up and glanced at the Rainbow Boys Band behind him. "We will compensate him for all the medical expenses, lost wages, and mental damages."

“It’s not that simple!”

Zhao Si took out the Fu Group brochure and slapped it on the table, saying, "Look, he's forcing these people to work for Fu Group."

"Yes! That's what he promised!" Zimao didn't believe it at first.

How could a top consortium hire a few idle people like them to work?

Unless pie falls from the sky!

But now, President Fu was standing in front of them, as tall and straight as a pine tree.

Zimao rubbed his eyes.

It really is a blessing from heaven!

"You have to keep your word. You can't abandon us!"

Zimao didn't know what the consequences would be if he shouted at President Fu like that. He just wanted to seize this opportunity to earn a future for himself and his brothers.

Fu Chengyun's eyes were like knives, not much brighter than Ning Che's. He swept them over the few people, making them shudder.

The leg that couldn't move seems to have recovered.

"Just you guys?"

"Them!" Ning Che took his hand off Fu Chengyun's shoulder, crossed his arms, and glanced at him. "Why, Mr. Fu doesn't agree?"

Fu Chengyun was stunned for a moment.

When the little fox is angry, she calls him a bastard; when she is acting coquettishly, she calls him husband; and usually she calls him Fu Chengyun.

It was the first time he called out the title "Mr. Fu". It was like a biting cold wind, and Fu Chengyun's heart sank.

He didn't want to argue with Ning Che in front of others, so he just said he would go home and discuss it.

Assistant Lin happened to come back after completing the formalities, and Zhao Si removed the handcuffs from Ning Che.

After Fu Chengyun asked the driver to take Lizi home, he pulled Ning Che into his car.

Along the way, Fu Chengyun stepped on the accelerator to the ground, the engine sound hitting the eardrums, and the car roared and sped along the road. Wherever it went, it startled countless birds.

The two of them walked on the left and the right, ignoring each other, and arrived home in silence.

As soon as the car pulled up to the door, Ning Che flung it open and walked in without looking back. His pace was so fast that Fu Chengyun chased him up to the second floor before he blocked him at the door.

Ning Che raised his chin and glared at him. "Didn't you say you would support me?"

His eyes were red and his face was pale. He seemed to be furious.

Fu Chengyun couldn't bear it and softened his temper first.

"Cheche, listen to me. I can support your legitimate hobbies. But I can't let those people join the company!"

"I'll stay!"

"Besides, we live in a society ruled by law now. You can't always go out and fight!"

"I'll fight!"

"I can protect you temporarily, but I can't protect you forever. If the day comes when I can't protect you anymore, you'll suffer if you act so impulsively."

Ning Che turned his head suddenly, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

"When did I ask you to protect me?"

He shook off Fu Chengyun's hand and yelled, "I don't need it!"

Fu Chengyun also became excited and grabbed his shoulders. "But what if one day I can't bail you out? What will you do alone?"

"What can I do alone?"

He laughed suddenly, his eyes filled with death.

"I've always been alone~"

Ning Che suddenly struggled to break free from his hand, screaming at the top of his lungs.

"You don't care what I want?"

"No leaving the house, no using guns, no fighting, no going to nightclubs!"

"You just want me to be obedient and wait for you to come back home!"

As he roared the last sentence, his charming eyes were filled with tears.

"But I'm not your captive bird!"

Ning Che rushed into the room.

In the huge house, only the sound of the door slamming against the door frame echoed between the four walls...

Sadness and loneliness
