28 Heartbeat
◎Bumping into his strong and sturdy chest◎
After the rain, the sky cleared up, the dampness that enveloped the entire city gradually dissipated, and the sun shone down, bringing a fresh and pleasant feeling.
There is a row of cypress trees planted in front of the gate of the Public Security Bureau. Under the lush green trees, a luxurious black car is parked, attracting the attention of passers-by.
After learning that the car belonged to Qin Yue and that they were going to have dinner in it, Wu Qiuhong and Deng Cuixia almost dropped their jaws in shock. They had never ridden in a car, let alone one that looked very expensive.
Chen Huili was calmer than the others, but her heart was still beating faster. She had ridden in her father's company car before, and she used to think it was quite impressive. After all, some ordinary people never even opened the door of a sedan in their entire lives. Who would have thought that there are always people better than you? Song Shixi's brother's family could actually afford a car and have at least ten thousand in savings. No, one hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand?
And these days, just having money doesn’t guarantee you can buy a car; you need connections.
"Send you back to get some things first?"
Qin Yue walked calmly to Song Shixi's side, his eyes falling on her fair and delicate profile.
The breeze blew through the hair beside her ears, bringing with it a faint fragrance from her body. At that moment, it seemed as if all his emotions were soothed. His eyes moved slightly, and he took another half step towards her, as if silently proving something.
"Okay, carry all the vegetables I bought, and I'll pack a few sets of clothes." Song Shixi nodded. He was in too much of a hurry just now and followed the police directly to the Public Security Bureau. He didn't have time to take anything.
It was unknown when the thief would be caught. Even if Qin Yue had not been so tough just now, Qin Boyuan would not let her continue living outside after knowing about this. In addition, for safety reasons, she should return to the Qin family to live for a while before the thief was caught, so she still had to pack some personal belongings and take them with her.
"Okay." Her home was not far from here, just a few hundred meters, and she could get there with just one step on the accelerator.
Qin Yue thought of something and lowered his voice, "You sit in the passenger seat."
Hearing this, Song Shixi raised his eyelids and looked at him. Thinking that Qiuhong and the others were strangers to him and would definitely feel uncomfortable sitting next to him, he nodded.
After getting in the car, they soon arrived at the foot of Song Shixi's building. There were already many people gathered here. Qin Yue couldn't drive in, so he had to park not far away. He took the initiative to unbuckle his seat belt and said, "I'll go in with her. You guys wait here for us for a while."
Hearing this, no one objected. Deng Cuixia, who was carefully caressing the soft seat, quickly withdrew her hand and said, "You guys go ahead, we'll wait for you."
She hadn't seen enough of the car's interior decoration and was still curious about it, so she didn't want to get off so soon.
As soon as Song Shixi and Qin Yue left, Deng Cuixia couldn't wait to look around. She looked around curiously and couldn't help but sigh, "What do Comrade Song's relatives do? How come they are so rich?"
After asking, she looked curiously at Wu Qiuhong, who had the best and closest relationship with Song Shixi among them.
The latter shook her head honestly. Although she had known for a long time that Song Shixi's relatives were well-off, Song Shixi rarely mentioned it, so she really didn't know.
Thinking of Song Shixi's usual low-key attitude and her firm attitude of moving out at that time, Deng Cuixia suddenly fell silent, stopped looking around, and slowly sat up straight.
No matter how rich her relatives are, it is not her money. To put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with her. At most, she can just take advantage of them and enjoy some benefits that flow through their fingers.
Song Shixi probably didn't live as comfortably in their home as he had imagined. Living in a foreign land, relying on others for support, he probably had to endure countless grievances. Only he knew the bitterness of it.
Thinking of this, Deng Cuixia fell silent.
But then she thought about Qin Yue's attitude towards Song Shixi just now. It didn't seem like he would treat her harshly. The concern in his eyes didn't seem fake. He rushed to the Public Security Bureau as soon as possible, treated them politely, and even invited them to dinner.
This is what happens because you love the person and the dog.
Realizing that he was overthinking and might have wrongly accused a good person, he quickly stopped the messy thoughts in his mind.
Here, Song Shixi and Qin Yue were walking towards their home, but there were three layers of people surrounding the big iron gate. They were all people who were not working. When they heard that something big had happened in the alley, they ran out of their homes to watch the excitement.
"I heard a lot of things were stolen, hundreds of them."
"Where did you hear that? I heard it was several thousand."
"Thousands? You're lying with your eyes open."
Hearing that he was being questioned, the middle-aged man holding the child immediately became unhappy and shouted at the top of his voice: "Why did I say that? The person living here is a beautiful young girl. She is supported by a big boss and is very rich."
"She rented a house and replaced all the furniture and appliances with expensive stuff. I see cars parked downstairs every now and then. A few thousand dollars is nothing to her. Who in this neighborhood doesn't know that? Just ask around and you'll find out."
He spoke in a very serious manner, and everyone was stunned. As for this kind of gossip about being kept, they couldn't wait to ask about the positions and words used in bed. So many people turned around to ask what was going on.
Surrounded by the crowd, Li Bojun's face showed a hint of smugness, but he had only heard a few words from others, so how could he have known such details? But now that he was being flattered, he could only open his mouth and make up a lie: "That girl is obviously a slut. She looks like a vixen, with big breasts and a big butt. In short, she is not a good person."
"Hey, you say she's so young, there's nothing she can do, but she has to be naughty and do something shameful like this. She might even be a third party. This is really the decline of morals."
"The man who keeps her is an old man, old enough to be her father. He comes every night, and I can hear his screams even at home."
The long string of words was so harsh that it was almost unbearable to hear. Song Shixi and Qin Yue, who were standing on the periphery and were about to walk around the crowd to go inside, stopped at the same time.
After hearing those words clearly, Qin Yue's eyes suddenly became very cold, his pupils were deep and dark, revealing unconcealable sinisterness and anger. He pursed his lips and strode forward gloomily. Who knew that there was a figure beside him who was faster than him, who said to call the police and rushed directly to the man.
"You said that you can hear the old man in our house calling every night?" Song Shixi stood in front of Li Bojun, looking straight at him without avoiding or dodging.
As soon as Song Shixi appeared, Li Bojun recognized her identity. A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but when he saw that she was just a girl, and that such a thing could not be explained even with a hundred mouths, he quickly became tough again.
"How can you be so shameless, comrade? You're saying whether to call or not in front of so many people. It's really funny."
Song Shixi blinked, "Then you just kept calling me slutty, and kept calling me breasts and butts. Aren't you even more shameless?"
"you……"
Li Bojun choked and was unable to speak. He looked at the people around him who couldn't help but burst out laughing. He was so angry that his face turned red. He stared at Song Shixi with a knife-like look, wishing he could skin her alive.
Any female comrade who encounters such a thing would want to bury her head in the ground, but she dared to jump out and confront him. She didn't take the matters between men and women seriously at all and had no shame at all.
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it yourself. You're capable of such filthy deeds, and you're still afraid of what others will say? Tsk tsk, you've been slept with by countless people, and you still have the nerve to curse people? You make dirty money, so you deserve to be robbed. You're getting your comeuppance, right?"
This statement was indeed a bit excessive, and several people who couldn't stand it anymore spoke up.
"You need evidence to support your words. You can't just say things randomly."
"That's right. No matter what, you can't say that. We're all neighbors. We see each other every day. How can we interact with each other in the future?"
When Li Bojun heard this, he immediately retorted, "I won't associate with a bitch like her, lest she lead the children astray."
"Oh, you have such a dirty mouth, full of lies, aren't you afraid of leading the children astray?"
Song Shixi sneered and glanced at the child in his arms. The child looked pale and thin, with greasy hair. His clothes were not only dirty but also had short sleeves. It was obvious that he had never taken good care of the child, and now he had the nerve to use the child to make trouble.
And if he really wanted to do good for the child, he shouldn't have sworn in front of the child.
This was the first time she had seen such a scumbag who acted so self-righteously.
"What lies? What evidence do you have to prove that what I said is false?" Li Bojun snorted coldly, with an expression that showed he was not afraid of boiling water. He even grabbed the child's hand and waved it, saying sarcastically, "If you dare to imitate this bitch and do such things in the future, your father will break your legs!"
The child didn't understand what he was saying and thought he was teasing him, so he giggled non-stop.
Song Shixi's expression turned completely cold. He caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and, barely suppressing his anger, asked, "Then what evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?"
Her voice wasn't as harsh and sarcastic as before, but rather very calm. Li Bojun was stunned at first, then thought she was scared. With a half-smile, he said, "Of course I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears."
Who knew that as soon as she finished speaking, she swept away her previous attitude, turned around and shouted: "Public Security Comrades, you heard it, this person personally admitted to spreading rumors and slandering me, I want to report it to the police."
Hearing the word "report a crime," Li Bojun's eyes widened instantly. He looked in disbelief at the two police officers in olive green uniforms not far away. After realizing what was happening, he immediately said, "I didn't do anything!"
"Everyone is here. Do you think we are blind and deaf?" Song Shixi looked at Li Bojun coldly.
The public security comrades would not be partial to any party. They immediately asked the surrounding people about the cause and effect of the incident and quickly understood the general situation.
At this moment, Qin Yue quickly walked up to Song Shixi and asked, "Are you okay?"
"What can I do?"
Song Shixi shrugged. She really didn't take Huang Yao, who was created by Li Bojun, seriously. When she was a blogger in her previous life, what she saw in the barrage and private messages every day were only dirtier and more unpleasant than this.
But Qin Yue didn't know what she was thinking. He just thought she was showing off. Looking at her profile, he remembered how she had just faced so many malicious eyes alone. He suddenly felt as if he was being crawled by a thousand or ten thousand ants. It hurt so much that even his breathing became rapid.
A raging fire climbed up from the tip of her heart and burned into the bottom of her eyes. She suddenly raised her eyelids and looked at the man who was trying hard to play the victim and make excuses in front of the police comrades, her eyes full of disgust and hostility.
He walked straight up to the middle-aged man who was still speaking out and said condescendingly, "Comrade Public Security, there's no need to waste time talking to him. Just take him away and let him argue with my legal team."
The low voice was so calm without any ups and downs, but it made people shiver.
Li Bojun looked at the man who suddenly appeared, his eyes fell on his suit and tie. He also saw that he had an extraordinary demeanor and was obviously not an ordinary person. He couldn't help but take a step back, but the words on his lips still blurted out: "Why do you take me away? I just said a few words of gossip."
Hearing this, Qin Yue sneered. The contempt in his voice made Li Bojun feel like an ant at the bottom of society. He felt insulted all over and couldn't help but get angry. "What the hell are you laughing at?"
"What's your name?" Qin Yue asked instead of answering, his eyes scanning his face up and down, as if he was memorizing his features.
Hearing this, Li Bojun, who was already a little scared and guilty, immediately came to his senses and raised his voice and replied, "None of your business?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. There are so many people here, I will always find a way to find out." Qin Yue suddenly curled his lips, like an iceberg melting, adding a bit of softness to his angular and handsome face.
But Li Bojun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He felt as if he had gotten into serious trouble. Just as he thought of this, he heard his smiling voice again, "Just wait for the lawyer's letter. I don't know if a few years in prison will teach you a lesson."
"Bullshit, I was just joking and saying a few words. How could I go to jail?" Li Bojun's eyes rolled rapidly, and at the same time he did not forget to refute Qin Yue's words.
There are so many people gossiping and spreading rumors every day, but I've never seen any of them go to jail. This person must be trying to fool or scare him. Don't think he'll be scared!
Qin Yue looked at Li Bojun's frightened pale face. While he was slowly adjusting his cufflinks, he looked up and down at him with a look of disdain. "Talking to an illiterate and legally illiterate person is really hard."
After he finished speaking, he glanced around with eyes filled with anger and said, "A good-for-nothing like you, living in the mud, thinks you can get away with nothing just by talking? Ha, how naive."
This look of contempt made Li Bojun's blood boil, his eyes almost popped out, and he gasped for breath. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore. He threw the child to the ground beside him and punched Qin Yue's arrogant face.
Qin Yue was waiting for him to make the first move. After the other party's hand brushed his collar, he immediately counterattacked with quick eyes and hands. He restrained his arm with his big palm and twisted it hard. The sound of dislocated bones rang in his ears in an instant, followed by Li Bojun's scream like a pig being slaughtered.
This was not the end. In the blink of an eye, Qin Yue bent his knee and kicked Li Bojun hard just below his belt. The latter was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream. Beads of sweat and tears the size of beans poured from his forehead to the ground.
Qin Yue was almost a head taller than Li Bojun, and his shirt didn't even get wrinkled at all after this smooth movement.
Before the public security comrades picked up the crying child and came over to intervene, Qin Yue was the first to let go of his hand, and Li Bojun fell to the ground like a piece of rag.
This sudden change stunned the people around. There was a moment of silence, and then the eyes looking at Qin Yue became trembling. At the same time, they pursed their lips and secretly swore in their hearts that they would never gossip again.
In the past, I just gossiped a little bit and nothing happened. That was because I didn’t encounter any tough opponents. If I had encountered one, my fate would probably be no different from Li Bojun’s.
Song Shixi recovered from her shock and quickly ran to his side. She looked up at his expressionless handsome face, her expression becoming very complicated in an instant, and she yelled, "Brother."
She really didn't expect Qin Yue to do this.
Others might not be able to see it, but she knew that he was deliberately provoking Li Bojun to make him take action.
People like Li Bojun seem to have no self-esteem, but in fact they have more self-esteem than anyone else, especially when facing successful people of the same sex who are younger and more outstanding than themselves. A little bit of "contempt" may ignite the inferiority and jealousy deep in their hearts.
Qin Yue is such a smart guy that he can hook Li Bojun with just a few words.
Once he makes the first move, it becomes much more reasonable to teach him a lesson later, and it will be easier to get away.
But why would Qin Yue do this? He is a businessman who values profit above all else.
When Qin Yue heard Song Shixi's voice, his eyes gradually softened. He met her eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Who asked him that? Of course she knew he would be fine.
Song Shixi noticed his gaze and inexplicably turned her head away, but her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and gradually accelerated in an uncontrollable direction.
"Li Bojun, you beast, no matter what, you can't abandon the child like this, right?"
"What did the child do wrong? Look, there's a big gash on his head."
"Go to his house quickly and ask his mother to come and take care of the children. His wife is at work. When she finds out what he did, she will beat him to death."
Li Bojun's wife is a well-known shrew in the neighborhood, and she loves her daughter the most. If she were not the only one in the family who works to earn money, she would never leave the child to her mother-in-law and husband who favor boys over girls. Neither of them is reliable.
Those present who knew Li Bojun immediately turned around to look for him.
Seeing him running away for a long distance, how could others not know that what Li Bojun said just now was all bragging. To be able to hear the shouting every night from such a long distance, he must have super hearing!
He is not a human being. He spread pornographic rumors about lesbians, abandoned his children, and started a fight. He is a complete scumbag.
"Comrade Public Security, I, I am in so much pain, please call a doctor." Li Bojun rolled on the ground and finally recovered. Then he grabbed the trouser leg of the public security comrade and asked for help.
The public security comrades were overwhelmed, but they also knew that no matter what, they should call a doctor first. Besides, the crying child in his arms was thrown to the ground by Li Bojun, and it was not clear whether there were any serious wounds on the body besides the wound on the head. This had to be judged by the doctor.
So he immediately decided to ask one of his colleagues to go back to the Public Security Bureau to get more help, while he stayed there to handle the matter.
Qin Yue and Song Shixi were both parties involved in the incident and could not leave for a moment. They had to go back to the Public Security Bureau to make a statement before they could leave.
After all the hassle, it was time for dinner.
When Song Shixi and Qin Yue came out of the Public Security Bureau together, they saw Secretary Xu and two middle-aged men and women in suits waiting outside. Wu Qiuhong and the others had not left either.
"Mr. Qin." Xu Jinze came forward immediately.
Qin Yue nodded, his eyes sweeping over the three people surrounding Song Shixi. Xu Jinze quickly lowered his voice and said, "I originally wanted to take them to Qu Garden for dinner as you instructed, but they were worried about Comrade Song and refused to leave, so I bought them some food to fill their stomachs."
"Well, well done." Qin Yue nodded, then glanced at the other two and said in a cold voice: "I just want to hear the result I want."
The implication is that the heavier the sentence, the better.
Lawyers Zhang and Tian had already understood the general situation. Even if there was not sufficient evidence, based on their abilities, they were 100% sure of completing Qin Yue's instructions, not to mention that all aspects were in their favor now.
So they all said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin."
After a few more words, Qin Yue told them again about the burglary at Song Shixi's house this morning, and asked them to solve the matter together before looking at the four female comrades over there.
"Sorry, this situation suddenly came up. Can we go eat together now?"
Qin Yue was as graceful as ever, without any trace of the ferocity he had shown when he beat someone just now. He was gentlemanly and polite.
"This..." Everyone else looked at Song Shixi, whose eyelashes trembled. "Go ahead. I've delayed your entire day today. You should at least have a meal together. I'll let my brother drive you back later."
Hearing this, Xu Jinze's pupils dilated slightly. Has it been too long since he last saw Miss Song? Why did she seem so bold that she even dared to use Mr. Qin as her driver?
What shocked him even more was that President Qin actually agreed with a smile on his face.
Xu Jinze was in a daze for a moment, standing there watching Qin Yue drive away with the four female comrades.
The place for dinner was chosen by Qin Yue, which was Quyuan, a place Song Shixi was quite familiar with. She and Wu Qiuhong were the first to enter the private room. Before entering, she looked back and saw Qin Yue handing the basket of vegetables she had bought that morning to the waiter.
The contrast between the two is huge. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have associated Qin Yue with such an everyday item as a vegetable basket.
But he helped her carry it all the way without any complaints.
Thinking about the series of events today, Song Shixi felt something strange in her heart. She rubbed her palms with her fingertips twice, and a slight itching sensation arose, crawling all the way to her limbs and bones, making her unable to ignore it any longer.
Before she knew it, Qin Yue had finished explaining things to the waiter. He turned his head and looked in her direction, and their eyes met in mid-air.
Song Shixi's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly withdrew his gaze, and quickly walked into the private room.
Leaning against the door, she felt as if something was fermenting and eroding her sanity. She tried to ease the pressure by taking deep breaths, but there was still no way to stop it.
"What are you standing here for?"
A familiar low and hoarse voice sounded behind her. Song Shixi's back bumped into his strong and sturdy chest, and soon she felt his heartbeat even more violently than her own.
