Gu Jinchen's face froze. He never thought that this woman would be curious about this.
He coughed, his face a little embarrassed, and he looked away for a moment. "Some of my colleagues came to help me as soon as they heard I said it was urgent."
Men don't even blush when they lie.
Pei Qinghuan nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Your colleagues? When today's work is over, you can invite them over. I'll treat them to a meal. I can't let your colleagues help you for nothing."
"And they must have been squatting outside my store for a long time and it must have been very hard."
Gu Jinchen didn't even think about it, "No, this is what they should do."
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Pei Qinghuan almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Gu Jinchen then realized that he had accidentally let something slip. He frowned and coughed, "No need to treat them to a meal, they are just a bunch of rough people."
Pei Qinghuan imagined the coworkers on the construction site. She was not the type to look down on others, and she thought Gu Jinchen said this because he was afraid that she would look down on his colleagues.
She immediately shook her head. "How can this be possible? They helped. If it weren't for your colleagues watching over me this time, I wouldn't have been able to get the evidence. I don't know how Lu Qingxiu and his wife would deny it."
Gu Jinchen wanted to brush it off, but then he saw Pei Qinghuan looking at him with her watery eyes.
"Forget it, just treat me if you want."
Gu Jinchen turned his eyes away, feeling a little conflicted. How could his bodyguards have dinner with them?
"Since Lu Zhicheng and the others haven't arrived yet, tell your colleagues in advance that you'll treat them to a meal after today's work is over."
Pei Qinghuan stared at Gu Jinchen.
Wait for him to call.
The man is now in a difficult situation.
Gu Jinchen turned on his cell phone with a gloomy face, and then under Pei Qinghuan's attentive gaze, he reluctantly called his bodyguards.
"Mr. Gu, is there anywhere else we need to keep an eye on? Don't worry, we'll be there right away."
The bodyguard thought that Mr. Gu had some other instructions, and his voice was so respectful that he almost saluted Mr. Gu.
Gu Jinchen's voice was a little stiff. "No, I'll treat you to dinner after this is over. That's it."
The phone was hung up without caring about the reactions of the bodyguards on the other end.
"We've made an appointment."
Gu Jinchen tilted his head and responded.
"So soon, it seems you have a good relationship with your colleagues."
Pei Qinghuan smiled and said, "I see you usually have a stern face. I guess you don't get along well with your colleagues. I was wrong about you."
Gu Jinchen's face turned even uglier. "Who are you talking about with a stern face?"
The only one who dared to say that he had a stern face was a woman like Pei Qinghuan, who was so bold, besides my grandfather.
"Lu Zhicheng is here!"
Before Gu Jinchen could question him, Pei Qinghuan's expression changed and he walked towards Lu Zhicheng aggressively.
Lu Zhicheng originally brought Li Jing'er here based on Lu Qingxiu's address. They also knew that they had just done something big and were now feeling guilty.
Unexpectedly, he didn't see his sister, but Pei Qinghuan instead. He didn't even dare to look back and turned around to leave.
"Stop right there!"
Pei Qinghuan rushed forward in a rage and grabbed Lu Zhicheng and Li Jing'er.
"Where are you two going?"
Gu Jinchen was a step slow. He was originally worried that the woman would suffer a loss, but he didn't expect that Pei Qinghuan was small in stature but very strong. He went up and grabbed Lu Zhicheng and the other man.
She held one in each hand, looking like an old hen.
"Let me go! Pei Qinghuan! What are you doing? Why did you catch me? Let me go!"
Lu Zhicheng angrily stretched out his other hand to hit Pei Qinghuan.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed by someone.
Lu Zhicheng was unable to move because of the great force. He looked up and saw that it was none other than Pei Qinghuan's husband who looked like a pretty boy.
"Who do you think you are? What are you two doing? Do you know who I am? How dare you pull me!"
Lu Zhicheng felt guilty, and the more guilty he felt, the louder his voice became! He was anxious to leave.
At this time, the police inside came out and arrested Lu Zhicheng.
"Lu Zhicheng, Li Jing'er, right? Come in with us."
Lu Zhicheng's face turned green.
"What? What do you mean by going in with you? I didn't do anything, Mr. Policeman. I'm innocent."
Li Jing'er's legs went weak. After all, she was only a 20-year-old girl who had just graduated. She had never even been to a place like a police station before.
So she was frightened all of a sudden, "What are you doing? I, I don't know anything, what are you doing?"
Li Jing'er was crying and hiccuping with fear, but even so, she was dragged in.
Pei Qinghuan pulled them both fiercely, gritting his teeth.
Gu Jinchen's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
"Pei Qinghuan, isn't this your first time at the police station? Aren't you afraid?"
Only then did he remember how courageous this woman was.
"What am I afraid of? I'm upright and honest. Only those who have done something wrong would be afraid!"
Pei Qinghuan glared at Lu Zhicheng and Li Jinger as he spoke, "What did you two do? Why don't you tell me?"
