Chapter 111: The pretty boy is always distracted and not focused enough when he goes to bed...
When Shen Qianshu received Fang Qingzhuo's call, it was during the evening news, and almost every channel was reporting on the malicious hit-and-run incident.
"If you have something to say, please say it quickly. I'm busy." Shen Qianshu picked up the remote control as he answered the call, and the wanted poster screen on the TV went off.
Despite his agility, the sharp-eared Fang Qingzhuo still caught some clues: "Are you watching the news?"
"No." Shen Qianshu denied subconsciously.
"Your conscience cannot bear it because of your unintentional action?" Fang Qingzhuo said lightly.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Shen Qianshu's face instantly became extremely ugly: "Don't put the blame on me."
"Flags? If you hadn't instigated Li Subaru to report Yi Ke, would all the subsequent troubles have happened?"
"It was Li Subaru who revealed that Yike had problems, so I just went along with it."
"You believe what he said. Can't you see that this is just a smearing excuse for him to switch to your Jiangrun because he can't make it at Yike?"
"Fang Qingzhuo, I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
After a round of shouting, both of them were so angry that they fell silent.
In the end, Fang Qingzhuo bowed his head first. "I'm not going to blame you. I'm sure you've seen the wanted notice issued by the police. It's not just about the house; he's also related to the woman who recently scammed Yike. Even if the construction hadn't stopped, they would have been determined to cause trouble."
"so what?"
Shen Qianshu sat upright on the sofa, tapping his thigh with the remote control in his hand intermittently. The next second, he heard the other side's matter-of-fact tone: "This person is in the dark, I am in the light. If you are willing, let's work together to find him."
It seemed absurd: "This seems to be a matter for the police."
Fang Qingzhuo seemed to have anticipated this reaction. He spoke seriously, yet a hint of boasting slipped through his lips. "But I can't wait. Luo Shu has been dreaming about me getting hit and killed every night for the past two nights, and I don't want her to worry."
Hearing this, Shen Qianshu finally understood: "Fang Qingzhuo, are you here to show off to me?"
"Anyway, I'm not here to argue."
Shen Qianshu laughed angrily: "He's a fugitive, are you afraid that you can't catch him?"
After a long while, Fang Qingzhuo's slightly heavy voice finally came out from the receiver: "To tell you the truth, he has set his sights on me. What's more important is that he knows about Luo Shu's existence."
"Fuck you..." Shen Qianshu swallowed the curse words that had already come out of his mouth, "What do you need me to do?"
The other side only threw three words: "Meet and talk."
The meeting an hour later was in Zhuyou's office. Shen Qianshu and Zhuang He stared at each other for a long time. Unable to bear it any longer, they glanced at their watches. There were still ten minutes to midnight. "Everyone is here. Can we start?"
On the other side of the sofa, Fang Qingzhuo stopped typing his reply: "My plan is..."
"Wait, there are us too."
Suddenly, someone outside the door interrupted his next speech.
Fang Qingzhuo looked in the direction of the voice, and a brief flash of surprise crossed his usual calm eyes. It was Guan Siqi and the two Gu brothers.
He subconsciously gave Zhuang He a nosy look.
Zhuang He shrugged his shoulders, with an expression that said, "Since you're here, what can you do to me?"
Gu Qin happily went to find his good brother Shen Qianshu, while Guan Siqi pulled Gu Yang over to Fang Qingzhuo and said hello: "Don't blame Zhuang He, we were worried about you too. One more person means more strength."
Don't hit a smiling person. Fang Qingzhuo had no excuse to refuse. He projected a map of Shenzhen City onto the conference tablet to indicate that he accepted their help.
"After two days of observation, I found that this person would appear in these two places at irregular intervals."
As he spoke, he circled two locations on the map.
Shen Qianshu looked towards the place where he drew a red circle. It was around Luo Shu's residential complex and her workplace.
"Can't the police find it by checking the surveillance?" Gu Yang asked.
Zhuang He grumbled, "That guy is as cunning as Tu Xingsun. Even if you check the surveillance cameras, he always disappears into your blind spot. The Wuling Hongguang he drives is even more amazing. It's a wrecked car towed from a repair shop. Just tell me, how can a mere surveillance camera trap him?"
Guan Siqi rubbed his chin, skeptical: "Is it true?"
"It's true." Zhuang He explained seriously, "We later found out that this guy took on any job and learned any trade just to earn money to buy a house and support his family."
Faced with the situation where the style of the painting was gradually going astray, Fang Qingzhuo took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions: "Is this the focus of the discussion now?"
It's a pity that someone is completely unaware and still talks to himself.
"Shut up, everyone."
Zhuang He immediately fell silent and sat up straight.
Fang Qingzhuo continued, "Tomorrow is the day Lin Su is calling a press conference. Therefore, tomorrow morning will be their last chance to strike. Therefore, we must keep a close eye on these two places."
"Will it be useful just to stare at it?" Shen Qianshu objected.
Fang Qingzhuo stared intently at the densely crisscrossed map on the screen. "It's very likely to be useless. Even if I manage to get away with it this time, I'll do it again next time, and the next time."
Shen Qianshu rolled his eyes at him: “Then don’t be passive.”
Fang Qingzhuo, who would never allow himself to suffer any loss, also glanced at him sideways. "Since he's been lurking here for so long, he must know where my weakness is. In order to control me, he'll definitely use Luo Shu as a threat. So our first step is to do as he wishes and play along."
"What? You want Luo Shu to wade into this mess." Shen Qianshu was the first to jump out and object, "I won't agree."
"Which ear of yours heard me putting her in danger?" Fang Qingzhuo turned on the phone that was lying upside down on the table and looked up at him. "Besides, Luo Shu flew to Yuncheng tonight and would have landed safely by now."
Shen Qianshu was skeptical: "She's not in Shencheng?"
"Yeah." Fang Qingzhuo scratched his nose guiltily. "I found a shill. She said she needed a proposal from you, but she's on a business trip."
Shen Qianshu then sat down again: "Then what do you mean by strategizing against others?"
"We need someone to pretend to be Luo Shu to attract his attention and then cooperate with the police to arrest him." Fang Qingzhuo stared at him and said.
Shen Qianshu felt uncomfortable under his fixed gaze: "Who do you want to pretend to be?"
"You."
Shen Qianshu was like a spring, and before he could even sit down, he jumped up from the sofa: "Why should I pretend?"
"Who else could it be?" Fang Qingzhuo pointed at Gu Yang, "He just got married."
He pointed at Gu Qin who was standing beside him and said, "He's a young fool."
Guan Siqi naturally didn't escape: "He is too frivolous."
After hearing all these spicy comments, Zhuang He, who had been pursing his lips, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Unexpectedly, Fang Qingzhuo didn't let him go either: "He was born with a flaw."
"Combined together, you are the most suitable."
Shen Qianshu was unhappy and immediately retorted: "Where am I most suitable?"
"Of these, you have the most delicate skin and tender flesh, and you have the characteristics of a pretty boy."
As soon as Fang Qingzhuo finished speaking, the inquiring eyes of the others all fell on Shen Qianshu's so-called delicate face. After looking at him, they nodded in unison, seeming to agree with him.
Shen Qianshu felt like he had something stuck in his throat: "Fang Qingzhuo, who the hell are you calling a pretty boy?"
Fang Qingzhuo teased the child: "I'm praising you."
Shen Qianshu argued: "That person is bad, not blind."
Zhuang He's eyes rolled. "Well, I know a makeup artist who's really good. With just a wig and makeup, it's hard to tell whether someone is male or female."
"Don't be unbalanced." Fang Qingzhuo poured Shen Qianshu a cup of the anti-inflammatory herbal tea he had prepared in advance. "If, I mean if, we are discovered, you will be the one who can get away most easily."
Shen Qianshu was just beginning to waver after being persuaded, but the next second he heard some very provocative follow-up words.
"If anything happens to you, Luo Shu and I will support you for the rest of your life."
The memory ended, and Shen Qianshu was filled with anger. He wiped off the rouge and powder that offended his face, then pulled off his wig and yelled at Fang Qingzhuo at the top of his lungs: "Fang Qingzhuo, you bastard, I told you that if I pretended to be Luo Shu, I would definitely be exposed. You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Fang Qingzhuo bent down and picked up the lighter that flew to his feet: "How can you reveal the truth if you don't say anything?"
"I haven't even said anything to you yet, but you're blaming me first." Shen Qianshu pointed at him and cursed, "Why did you come just now? That bastard has been mixing the gunpowder. What if he really blows me up?"
"Why would he explode if I wasn't here?" Fang Qingzhuo wasn't one to take offense, so he immediately stepped forward and fought back. "How dare you blame me? What do you do for a living? Didn't you claim to have been fighting underworld boxing for a few years? How did you get kidnapped all of a sudden? Oh, you were just bragging! If you were smarter and left some marks along the way to let us know, maybe we could have intercepted him halfway, and why would we have to wait until now to deal with him?"
Shen Qianshu was about to explode with anger: "I was stabbed by him, and I was dizzy and heavy all the way. I made a fart mark."
Just when the two of them were arguing fiercely and no one was paying attention, Guo Tianlin climbed up in a corner, picked up a shovel and swung it directly at the back of Fang Qingzhuo's head. Shen Qianshu saw it, but he watched coldly and deliberately did not remind him, and even helped distract Fang Qingzhuo's attention and argued with him.
The blunt object hit the skull with a heavy muffled sound, and Fang Qingzhuo fell to the ground.
Guo Tianlin looked at Fang Qingzhuo lying on the ground, then at the only remaining Shen Qianshu, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent: "No wonder he misled me on the phone and told me not to touch you. You bunch of liars, you guessed I would come for revenge, right?"
"That's because you're blind and can't see." Shen Qianshu took the time to glance at the guy on the ground with concern.
Guo Tianlin approached with a shovel in hand, but when he saw the explosives in his arms, he stopped dead in his tracks: "Give me the explosives, and I'll be magnanimous and spare your life."
Shen Qianshu smiled and stepped back, keeping a distance: "Do you think I'm stupid? I'll give you the explosives and then blow me up?"
Guo Tianlin took a deep breath and pointed at Fang Qingzhuo, who was lying on the side like a salted fish. "My only target is him. Blow him up and destroy the body. I promise not to touch you."
"What about those people on the road? How did they offend you?" Shen Qianshu asked confidently.
"They." Guo Tianlin smiled grimly, "They can only be considered unlucky."
"Unlucky? You just let them lie in the hospital with a simple word 'unlucky'." Shen Qianshu clenched his fists and frowned, "The police will be here soon. I advise you to turn back now and try to get leniency..."
Before he could finish his words, the shovel Guo Tianlin was holding fell from his palm with a thud. Then, he seemed to have suffered a serious injury, and his center of gravity was unstable and swaying from side to side. He staggered and turned around, only to see Fang Qingzhuo standing behind him, holding half a broken brick in his hand. He tilted his head towards him and then forcefully smashed a piece of brick on his forehead. A streak of blood quickly flowed from the top of his head and dripped down his cheek. He fell to the ground without even opening his mouth, and he had no chance to resist.
Shen Qianshu was dissatisfied with his quick action: "Why don't you act according to the plan? I don't see him having anything to say?"
Fang Qingzhuo kicked the unconscious Guo Tianlin with the tip of his shoe, making sure he wouldn't wake up for a while. "That's the police's job. Can you change your bad habit of taking what's good from others?"
The corner of Shen Qianshu's mouth twitched: "You also know that this is the police's job, but you still insist on dragging me to my death."
Fang Qingzhuo touched the back of his head where the bump had appeared. "I can't help it. Luo Shu has been so nervous. She's dreamed of me getting hit or stabbed many times. Even when we go to bed, I'm always distracted and not focused enough..."
"Enough, I don't want to listen." Shen Qianshu directly blocked his ears.
Fang Qingzhuo showed no restraint, vividly demonstrating the success of a villain: "Being older also has its advantages, understand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of something strange happening outside the room. Without saying a word, he lay down on the ground in an ungraceful manner, as if he had fainted.
Shen Qianshu was stunned by this sudden and outrageous move and raised his foot to kick to see what was going on. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by the armed police who broke in. The most infuriating thing was that the scene of his bullying was seen by everyone, including Luo Shu.
