Chapter 43 "It's really great that I met Zu...
Liang Qi heard Dai Meng's exclamation and turned around to see Shen Xiyu being pushed and kicked by the thin man.
Shen Xiyu was not willing to give in. No matter how he struggled, he held him tightly with both hands and would not let him leave.
Liang Qi was a little angry and couldn't hold back his strength. He punched a man who was trying to run away and knocked him to the ground.
Chen Ningzhou saw this and frowned in displeasure, "Hold back a little, don't do anything bad and get yourself into trouble."
Liang Qi quickly walked towards Shen Xiyu, "It's okay, I can handle it."
Before he could step forward, a police car arrived first.
"Don't move!"
*
Inside the police station, Wang Pengfei and several others were squatting like a row of chicks, and the ferocious look they had just had was now gone.
"Do you know that girl?" an older officer sternly scolded the group. "Tell us the truth and tell us who ordered this!"
Several people looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Wang Pengfei gritted his teeth and said, "No one ordered us to do this, officer? We just tried to chat her up, and she had a bad temper, so we just had a little friction."
"Hey, you're quite loyal. If you don't tell the truth, you'll be the main culprit in this case! The little girl is still a minor. Are you sure this is the truth?"
After hearing what the police said, the few younger brothers who were squatting there became unhappy and started to wink at Wang Pengfei.
"Uncle police." Shen Xiyu said, "I recorded it. No need to waste time talking to them."
From the moment she first entered the alley and realized something was wrong, she became cautious and turned on the recording. However, at the time, she just felt uncomfortable intuitively and nothing else happened. That's why Shen Xiyu didn't blindly call the police, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of.
Shen Xiyu put his phone on the table in front of him.
*
On the other side, Liang Qi and others were also receiving ideological education.
"As victims, we must exercise necessary self-defense." The old policeman saw that several people were absent-mindedly paying attention to the situation outside the glass window, and his voice suddenly raised, "But it is wrong to act blindly!"
"Especially you!" He looked at Liang Qi, "The suspect you kicked just now is already under the care of our comrades at the police station and is receiving medical treatment. His injuries are very serious!"
“The core socialist values require us to…”
Qin Yiyan frowned and said, "I'm here for the political class."
"Be content." Dai Meng responded softly, "With the intensity you guys were using just now, I'm glad I didn't make you squat."
"Brother, are you so awesome?" Qin Yiyan touched his chin, feeling somewhat smug.
"Neuropathy."
Liang Qi looked at Shen Xiyu outside the window, his attention focused on her drooping hands, a little absent-minded.
Now that he had calmed down, he began to sort out the matter from the beginning.
In fact, he could probably guess the whole story. Liang Qi had been asking someone to investigate the matter of "Li Gu" mentioned by Shen Xiyu behind his back. He even took a look at him in the gambling house last week, but Li Gu did not recognize Liang Qi, whom he had only met once.
He was most likely the one who recruited this group of people, but Li Gu seemed to be very peaceful recently, so why would he suddenly do this?
"Uncle police, let me make a phone call."
"Hey, brat..."
“Beep, beep, beep…”
The call was connected, and Doudou's voice came from the other end, "What's wrong, Liang'er?"
Liang Qi briefly explained the situation, as Doudou had previously helped investigate Li Gu, and he had some understanding of the situation. However, he had no idea that this was Shen Xiyu's business.
"Wait at the police station, I'll be there soon."
“…”
The one who arrived earlier than several other people's parents and Doudou was Old Fangtou.
"You guys are such troublemakers." Old Fangtou's eyes were crooked with anxiety. "It's such a tense time now, and you all just came out without even saying hello to me!"
"When something like this happens, tell the teacher or parents first. I don't know!"
Several people hung their heads, not daring to breathe.
Liang Qi pushed open the glass door and came in.
When Old Fangtou saw him, he was stunned, "Why are you here too?"
"Uh...it's a long story?"
Seeing that it was almost done, the old policeman said at the right time, "Okay, everyone sit here and write your apologies while you wait for your parents to come."
"Uncle police." Zhang Zhi opened his eyes wide in disbelief. "Are all our parents coming?"
"What do you think?"
"It's over, it's over, it's over." He buried his head in his arms in pain. "This is not something that can be solved by one test paper. I will definitely be fined at least ten."
Chen Ningzhou patted his shoulder and said, "I'll help you write it."
Seeing them secretly plotting something under his nose, Old Fangtou felt so sad that he could not even cry. He wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
He looked at Shen Xiyu outside the window worriedly. The girl didn't seem to be hurt anywhere, but what was going on?
*
Several parents came one after another to take their children away.
Apart from Zhang Zhi's mother scolding him, Qin Yiyan and Dai Meng's parents didn't say much. They gave Shen Xiyu a few instructions and prepared to leave.
Qin Yiyan's mother didn't leave in a hurry. She found Liang Qi sitting on the sofa and asked, "Are you okay, Xiao Qi?"
Liang Qi was sending messages to deal with his grumpy uncle.
Hearing this, he looked up and replied, "I'm fine, Aunt Hui, don't worry."
"How can I not be worried?" Her eyes flashed with distress. "You came all the way here by yourself."
"Oh, Mom, don't worry." Qin Yiyan put his hand on her shoulder. "He can beat ten people by himself. What can happen?"
"Get out of my way. I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
Qin Yiyan was glared at by his mother and was pushed aside. He didn't dare to speak up for Liang Qi anymore.
"Aunt Hui, I'm really fine, just don't tell my mom."
The woman's expression changed immediately. "That won't work."
“…”
After Sister Chen Ningzhou came, she simply didn't leave, but waited here with Shen Xiyu.
Wang Pengfei and his group are still insisting on their position, but there is no direct evidence to prove that it is Li Gu, and the police are still playing a psychological warfare with this group of people.
Doudou's home was not far from here, so he took a detour to get on his motorcycle, so he arrived a little late.
Liang Qi saw him and stood up, "Here."
Doudou walked up to him and asked, "What's going on?" He looked around and saw quite a few people sitting there. "Are they holding me back and not letting me leave?"
Liang Qi comforted him, "No."
He didn't know what he saw, and he squinted his eyes and looked over there secretly.
"What are you looking at?" Liang Qi asked in confusion at his sneaky look.
Before he could explain.
Chen Ningning stood up and asked, "Pei Wei?"
Pei Wei is Doudou's formal name, and the eyes of the people in the room lingered on the two of them.
"Oh my god, why didn't you tell me earlier that she was there too?"
Liang Qi was stunned by the flying pot, "How would I know you know each other? I don't know him either."
"Ouch." Pei Wei only complained, but he knew Liang Qi wasn't to blame. "I'm really in trouble."
"Why are you hiding, Pei Wei!" Chen Ningning came over and grabbed his ear and walked out.
Chen Ningzhou and Liang Qi were both stunned. It was not right to stop him, nor was it right not to stop him.
Finally, the old policeman who had just lectured them came over and scolded them, "Do you know where this is?"
“…”
"What's wrong with you?" Liang Qi asked Pei Wei who was hiding outside smoking.
"Oh, it's hard to explain in just a few words. Let's solve your problem first."
Liang Qi turned serious and asked, "How's the guy I asked you to keep an eye on doing lately?"
"It's strange." Pei Wei stamped out his cigarette on the ground. "He hasn't gone gambling for a long time."
"But he's been going to the bank frequently lately, and my people found out that he's had large amounts of money coming in recently."
Liang Qi was silent for a long time. It was very strange. Li Gu had made some money, so why did he still bother Shen Xiyu? It was not a thing that would benefit him at all.
Pei Wei continued, "And one of the places he gambled at before must have been unclean."
Liang Qi had already guessed it from Shen Xiyu's last conversation with her brother.
"Will this affect Shen Xiyu and her brother?"
"Legally speaking, at most they acted a little shady, but they bear no responsibility at all."
"Besides," Pei Wei turned around and looked at the girl sitting next to Chen Ningning, "her brother did a very thorough job, it's absolutely impenetrable."
"Are you going to investigate her brother?" Liang Qi looked at him with a bad expression.
Pei Wei raised his hands and said, "My young master, if you asked me to investigate, I must get to the bottom of it. How can I not investigate her brother?"
Liang Qi also knew that he was telling the truth, he was just afraid that Shen Xiyu would feel burdened and constrained after knowing it.
"Her brother is a law student. He knows exactly what to do and what not to do. They're completely victims in this matter." Pei Wei didn't quite understand. "Then what are they afraid of? They can just report the man directly."
Pei Wei was not clear about it, but Liang Qi saw it clearly. In the end, he was just afraid of involving the forces behind the scenes and bringing trouble upon himself. In addition, the custody of Shen Xiyu was with Li Gu's parents.
"That's enough." Pei Wei saw that his face was darker than water. "I'll contact someone to handle it. Don't worry about it. As long as she and her brother cooperate with me, nothing will happen."
"Things have been so sensitive lately." Liang Qi knew Pei Wei's family background. "Can you find someone easily?"
"I'm not using my own name." Pei Wei was extremely shrewd. "You have to repay favors and face, young master. Of course, there's also my favor." He patted Liang Qi meaningfully.
He knew that this guy was not so kind.
*
Shen Xiyu in the room felt a little cold all over, but she tried hard not to show it. Her hands felt numb as if there was an electric current, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
"Are you okay?" Chen Ningning held her hand. "Your hands are so cold."
"It's okay, Sister Ning." Shen Xiyu forced a smile.
Zhang Weifang rushed into the police station rashly, wearing only an oatmeal-colored sweater.
As soon as he came in, he locked onto Shen Xiyu who was sitting in the corner and walked over quickly.
"Where are you hurt?"
Shen Xiyu's nose felt sore, and tears immediately wanted to well up, but there were too many people around, so she blinked back her tears, "No... nothing happened."
Zhang Weifang lost his usual composure. "Where are those beasts?"
"Parent, please don't worry..."
