"Ugh, my head hurts..." Chu Yi rubbed her forehead, suddenly realizing something was wrong. She looked around and saw everyone in the private room staring at her. She shrank back and chuckled, "Why are there so many people? What are you guys doing here, Brother Liu?"
"... ..." Brother Liu was speechless.
"Sister, eldest sister, this whole thing has nothing to do with me, please let me go," Zhuang Can said, clinging to Chu Yi's legs and crying.
"Huh?" Chu Yi tilted her head, still not understanding the situation. "Why are you kneeling? Do you want New Year's money? I don't have any."
Zhou Qiong sighed and then told Chu Yi everything that had happened the night before: drugging the beer, helping him into the private room, plotting something, and Liu Ge's rescue.
After listening, Chu Yi turned his gaze to Tong Shida, who was still naked in the corner. Their eyes met. The former pursed his lips and a faint smile appeared on his face, while the latter pulled at the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
Chu Yi walked up to Tong Shida, who was trembling and stammering, "That... Chu... Chu Yi..."
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yi gritted his teeth and kicked Tong Shida, followed by a hard punch and a kick. Screams echoed in the private room. Zhuang Can's face twitched. The pain was felt in Tong Shida's heart as he was hit.
I should have known better than to follow Tong Shida.
They didn't gain any benefits, and instead got beaten up.
Who can I reason with...?
After a long while, the sounds gradually stopped, Chu Yi's breathing gradually calmed down, he straightened his clothes, looked at Tong Shida who was covered in bruises, and said, "I treated you as a friend, so why are you playing tricks on me?"
Looking back now, Chu Yi feels a chill.
If Brother Liu hadn't arrived today, it would have led to an irreparable mistake, harming not only himself but also Zhou Qiong.
Brother Liu and his group of bodyguards watched Chu Yi beat someone without stopping her. After she had vented her anger, they walked over and asked, "Miss Chu, what do you plan to do next?"
Chu Yi turned around: "What did my brother say?"
"We can't get through to Mr. Chu on the phone," Brother Liu said.
“My brother seems to have entered Tibet Province, where the signal is bad.” Chu Yi raised her eyebrows, thought for a few seconds, and then said, “Let’s call the police and let them handle it.”
Brother Liu and his group of bodyguards exchanged glances, somewhat surprised.
Handing it over to the police means going through the normal procedures, which are not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also less punitive, making it the least effective method.
Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Chu Yi smiled and said, "Brother Liu, we are ordinary people. The best thing to do when we encounter this kind of thing is to call the police. We must never cross the line of the law. I think my brother thinks the same way."
Chu Fang had told her that society has rules and regulations, and that one should use methods accepted by the public to solve problems. Don't think that having resources means you can do whatever you want; that kind of mentality will inevitably lead to big trouble sooner or later.
Upon hearing this, Brother Liu nodded, then called the police and instructed the cameraman to keep the video recording safe, as it would be strong evidence that could ruin Tong Shida's reputation in court.
Zhuang Can wailed beside him, "Um... Sister Chu, this really has nothing to do with me, I'm a good person..."
... ...
As I walked out of the police station, it was already dawn, and half the sky in the east was dyed red.
Chu Yi, Zhou Qiong, Brother Liu, and the legal team slowly walked out. The lawyer stopped, sorted through the documents in his hand, and said, "You can rest assured that you can leave this matter to us. I guarantee that I will get justice for you."
"Okay, thank you, thank you for your help." Chu Yi nodded.
Last night, in the dead of night, I dragged Chu Fang's legal team out of bed to resolve that matter for her, and we're still here now.
After a brief chat, the legal team left immediately. There was still a lot to do, and they couldn't be careless, otherwise, if Chu Fang investigated, their jobs would be in jeopardy.
Chu Yi turned to look at Brother Liu and his group of bodyguards, took out a bank card from his pocket, and handed it to them: "Brother Liu, thank you for your help yesterday. This is for treating the brothers to drinks."
"No need, no need, Mr. Chu has already paid." Brother Liu quickly waved his hand to refuse. "We'll be leaving now. Take care, you two. If you need anything, just call me and I'll be there anytime."
A few days ago, when Chu Fang found Brother Liu, he had already paid him a considerable sum. Brother Liu couldn't possibly take Chu Yi's share of the money.
After saying that, Brother Liu and his group of bodyguards left, leaving Chu Yi and Zhou Qiong behind.
The two of them walked hand in hand slowly towards Zhonghai Mingyuan.
In the morning, the city was filled with fresh air, and people began to wake up.
Chu Yi remained silent for a while, then lowered his head and said softly, "Qiongqiong, I'm sorry."
A few days ago, Zhou Qiong had tried to advise her on Tong Shida's matter, but she ignored it and even complained that Zhou Qiong was too suspicious. What happened last night taught her a good lesson.
A person's appearance cannot reveal their inner character.
Fortunately, what happened last night didn't happen; she and Zhou Qiong escaped unharmed. If it had, how would she face the future, face Zhou Qiong, and face her future husband?
“It’s alright, it’s not your fault.” Zhou Qiong smiled. “It’s Tong Shida who’s too scheming, while we’ve only just graduated from high school.”
The two had been best friends since kindergarten and high school. With just a few words, they resolved their misunderstanding. When they arrived at a breakfast stall, Chu Yi, to make amends, bought breakfast for them: steamed buns and soy milk. The two chatted and laughed as they walked home.
Halfway there, Chu Yi slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten to call Chu Fang. He quickly took out his phone and dialed Chu Fang's number, but all he heard was: "Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached."
"Unable to connect." Chu Yi repeated, then comforted him, "Perhaps there's no signal over there."
“Um… I called my brother yesterday but he didn’t answer,” Zhou Qiong said.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yi's expression changed: "Has something happened?"
The two looked at each other and said in unison, "No way?"
