Chapter 111: Appointment
The case was closed, and the police in Pingjiang had given an explanation to the police in Linzhou, so everyone relaxed.
At noon, Captain Yang insisted on treating everyone to a meal. The members of the two groups got together and had a lively meal. After a long time of fun, they returned to their teams.
In the afternoon, Captain Yang and his team were busy supplementing the case's documents and materials, while Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan, two idle people, contacted the two victims, Zhou Yuanfeng and Qin Jiayu, and informed them of the follow-up of the case.
After hearing Ke Zhiwei's motive for committing the crime, the two parents cursed and swore. Zhou Yuanfeng was silent for a long time before he rubbed his face, sighed deeply, and said, "I didn't expect him to think this way."
He has always had a carefree personality, and since he comes from a wealthy family, he doesn't pay too much attention to other people's subtle emotional changes.
If you can play, then play. If you can’t, then say goodbye. Anyway, Young Master Zhou doesn’t need such a friend.
For him, being the top student in the grade or being the class monitor are all proofs of his abilities. If he wants to do it and he can do it, then everything will happen naturally. During his four years in college, he thought he had done a pretty good job as a class monitor, classmate, and roommate. He never imagined that someone would harbor such deep malice towards him.
Treating people to dinner is a way for him to make friends. Maybe the meal is a little expensive each time, but it is still within his ability. Gao Xuefeng and his friends would sometimes invite him back, and although the prices were not at the same level, they were also good quality and inexpensive. Zhou Yuanfeng never expressed any dissatisfaction with this and didn't understand why in Ke Zhiwei's eyes, it was considered a deliberate humiliation by him.
When Zhou Yuanfeng asked them to join his company, he was not joking, nor was he dreaming of using his status as a boss to bully them in the future. Instead, he sincerely felt that the people in their dormitory had good grades and abilities, so it would be better to benefit himself than to let others benefit. After all, he had known them for so many years and Zhou Yuanfeng knew them well.
This included telling Ke Zhiwei not to be obsessed with big companies, but to start from small companies...these were all his heartfelt words.
He believed that he was always sincere when dealing with others, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of others, he would appear to be like this.
Zhou Yuanfeng was silent for a while.
Mother Zhou said angrily: "This kind of person is mentally dark and can't stand others being better than him!"
Mother Qin was also indignant: "Despicable! Villain!"
Shen Qingye said: "Some people put a label on you first, so no matter what you do in the future, they will suspect that you have ulterior motives."
Zhou Yuanfeng paused after hearing this, then smiled and said, "That does make sense."
Qin Jiayu on the side also whispered: "Just like Han Songlin."
Shen Qingye looked at her with some surprise. She smiled at her, with some embarrassment on her pretty face. "At the beginning, I was like everyone else in the class. I thought he was a cat-torturer and a psychopath. So when I saw all his actions, I felt that he was gloomy and difficult to get along with. I didn't even want to talk to him... Now it seems that my behavior is actually no different from Ke Zhiwei, right?"
In particular, this time she was able to save her life thanks to Han Songlin's timely discovery of Ke Zhiwei's whereabouts. Otherwise, if they were a little later, if she was caught up, what would be waiting for her... Qin Jiayu didn't dare to imagine.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuanfeng looked a little uncomfortable, and said awkwardly: "I am also not good..."
Perhaps at the beginning, Zhou Yuanfeng still had doubts about Han Songlin's cat abuse and could treat him equally, but after everyone said that Han Songlin was abnormal, Zhou Yuanfeng slowly began to waver.
He thought there was nothing to be said for nothing. Since so many people said so, there must be a reason, right? Maybe Han Songlin is really abnormal? With such prejudice, he could not guarantee that he had not deliberately ignored and excluded others in his subsequent actions.
Mother Zhou was also relieved when she heard this: "This time it is indeed thanks to that little classmate. He had suffered an unexpected disaster before... No matter what, we have to thank him. Yuanfeng, when you have time later, go ask that little classmate. Let's treat him to a meal and thank him!"
Zhou's father agreed with this, and the Qin couple also said: "You have to thank him very much, Jiayu, when the time comes, go and tell him that we are really grateful to him this time..."
They only have one daughter. If something really happened to her, Mother Qin didn't know what she would do in the future.
The two were about to respond, but Shen Qingye had already laughed out loud: "Forget about the meal."
Everyone turned to look at her, and Shen Qingye explained, "He has a quiet personality and doesn't like interacting with others, especially strangers. He would probably feel uncomfortable. So let's skip the meal."
Upon hearing this, Mother Zhou said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I am being presumptuous, so it is better not to disturb others..."
Mother Qin looked embarrassed: "But thanks..."
Zhou Yuanfeng hurriedly said: "Mom, Auntie, don't worry about it, just leave it to us."
"Jiayu and I will find an opportunity to talk to him. If he's willing, we can have a meal together. If he's not willing, there are other ways."
Father Zhou also nodded and said, "After all, it is a huge favor, there is no need to rush to pay it back in a short time."
It seems that the Zhou family can't wait to cut off ties with others.
Mother Zhou thought so too and stopped worrying about it.
Seeing that they had made a decision, Shen Qingye said, "This is the current outcome of the case. In a few days, once the documents and materials are sorted out, they can be handed over to the procuratorate. You are the parties involved, and you should be aware of this case."
Father Qin said in a deep voice, "Comrade police officer, how will Ke Zhiwei be sentenced? He has done all these things, we can't let him off lightly, right?"
Shen Qingye said, "Don't worry. He has committed kidnapping and attempted murder. The facts are proven. He will definitely go to prison. As for how many years he will stay in prison, it depends on the court's opinion."
Father Zhou snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Qin. I will hire the best lawyer and make sure that bastard stay in prison for a few more years!"
Mother Qin clenched her fists: "That's how it should be!"
The parents on both sides were filled with indignation, and were extremely angry when they recalled what had happened.
Zhou Yuanfeng pursed his lips slightly and said nothing.
Although he has a good temper, it doesn't mean he is a good person without principles. On the contrary, as the only eldest son of the Zhou family, he has his own pride.
Since Ke Zhiwei had plotted against him so much, Zhou Yuanfeng naturally would not show any mercy and would say something like he would not pursue the matter.
After understanding the situation, the group stopped disturbing them and left.
During this time, Zhou's mother held Shen Qingye's hand again and thanked her again and again. When facing Yue Lingchuan, Zhou's father also felt deeply moved.
Shen Qingye said it was just his duty before sending them out.
Dad Zhou and Dad Qin went outside to drive, Mom Zhou and Mom Qin walked in front, and the two young lovers leaned against each other, holding hands, looking very sticky.
Shen Qingye looked at them and thought: "So this is considered... reconciliation?"
Qin Jiayu blushed, Zhou Yuanfeng smiled and held her hand tightly: "We've made up."
In fact, it was not a big conflict. Zhou Yuanfeng just hoped that Qin Jiayu could stay in the local area so that it would be convenient for them to meet. Moreover, not to mention a company as big as Zhou’s, even if it’s Zhou Yuanfeng’s own company, it’s no big deal to arrange a position for Qin Jiayu. But Qin Jiayu felt that she could not always rely on the other party. She was also the daughter raised by her parents with all their heart and soul. She had also attended university and she also hoped to have her own career.
Furthermore, there is a big difference in the financial situation of the two families. If she joins Zhou's or Zhou Yuanfeng's company, she will inevitably feel inferior to her boyfriend.
Zhou Yuanfeng is serious about this relationship, and Qin Jiayu is also serious about it. Both of them think that their intentions are good, and neither of them is willing to give in, so conflict is inevitable.
But now...
"Jiayu has gradually adapted to the work rhythm there. The office environment is also okay. The colleagues are easy to get along with. The company does have a future..." Zhou Yuanfeng smiled and said, "If she wants to stay there, then let her stay. At worst, I can just visit her more often in the future."
After this incident, Zhou Yuanfeng realized that the so-called conflicts were just minor problems. As long as the two of them were doing well, that was enough.
Qin Jiayu also explained: "The development prospects of that company are indeed good, and the boss there is also very caring for me and taught me a lot. I thought, I should learn more. Even if I don't work in that company in the future, I can return to Pingjiang and find an equally good position."
The two smiled at each other, their hands hanging at their sides interlocked, and the atmosphere around them was full of sweetness.
Shen Qingye just said: "Congratulations."
Zhou Yuanfeng accepted the congratulations calmly, but Qin Jiayu subconsciously glanced at Yue Lingchuan beside her, and her eyebrows slightly curved.
The two mothers walking in front didn't see anyone, so they hurriedly greeted him. Zhou Yuanfeng responded loudly, said goodbye to Shen Qingye, and then left.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and since they had suffered the same disaster together, the parents of both sides could be said to have become friends after the fight. After a brief understanding, they found that they could talk to each other and had similar ideas, so they tacitly agreed to the matters between the two children.
After all, if you really think about it, it's not certain who was implicated by whom.
In a sense, it was a blessing in disguise.
Shen Qingye watched their figures slowly disappear into the distance before he withdrew his gaze.
When he turned around, he met the gaze of Yue Lingchuan who was looking at him.
Shen Qingye had long known that he had a rare handsome appearance, but because she had been busy before, and Yue Lingchuan himself was rather casual and his dressing was not conspicuous, Shen Qingye had not really realized how handsome he was. But today, Shen Qingye was already uncomfortable with the man's deliberate dressing up, and meeting his increasingly scorching and undisguised gaze recently, she felt even more blushing and her heartbeat faster when she was with him.
"What are you looking at?" she asked.
Yue Lingchuan said: "Looking at Zhou Yuanfeng, I feel a little envious."
Shen Qingye was puzzled: "What are you envious of?"
Yue Lingchuan put his hands in his pockets, looked down, and said slowly: "I envy him for having a partner to spend the rest of his life with at such a young age. And I'm almost thirty..." He shook his head.
Shen Qingye snorted and laughed, deliberately misinterpreting his meaning: "Why, Captain Yue wants to go back to school days and have another passionate campus romance?"
Yue Lingchuan was speechless: "I didn't say that."
He looked at Shen Qingye, his eyes serious and pure: "I was just wondering if I would have the honor to invite Officer Shen to dinner?"
Shen Qingye tilted his head to look at him. After a while, he pretended to be enlightened and said, "Oh, Captain Yue is urging me to fulfill my promise to treat you, right?"
"No." Yue Lingchuan felt like laughing and helpless at the same time. He said, "Compared to that, I'd rather keep your previous treat until later."
"So this time, I'm the one treating you. What do you think, Officer Shen?"
Shen Qingye raised her eyes and met his expectant and nervous gaze. After thinking for a long time, she gently opened her lips:
"don't want."
Yue Lingchuan's expression collapsed, but he forced himself to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor and couldn't help asking, "Why?"
Shen Qingye smiled, like a cat that had stolen some fish, cunning and smart: "Because... I have a date tonight."
