Chapter 39 Chapter 39 The Third Drawing
Pei Qing and Han Heyue are observing the drawings.
In addition to Lian Jiao, there are several other figures in this drawing, but they are all backlit and their faces cannot be seen clearly.
Pei Qing scratched his head and looked at the background of the painting again.
Marble tiles, doesn't look like a hotel.
Pei Qing asked Han Heyue: "What does this look like?"
Han Heyue was confused: "I can't tell."
The two of them studied the drawing for a long time and determined that this was not a high-end hotel, nor did it look like a beauty salon, nor did it look like a salon.
Then where is this?
Pei Qing put the drawing away.
"It's okay. I've been following Lian Jiao recently."
Han Heyue: "I wish you good luck, but I feel like the people around her are too complicated, it's really troublesome."
Pei Qing: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. We must rise to the challenge and challenge our limits! Let's go to Lian Jiao's salon."
＊
Lian Jiao returned to the salon in a huff.
There were only a few guests in the salon.
Fu Chen saw her coming back angrily, so he walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Did Zhan Shengguang make you angry again?"
Lian Jiao walked to her lounge and took off her skirt.
Fu Chen then noticed the large stain on her skirt and immediately asked distressedly, "What happened? How did it get on?"
Lian Jiao took a wet towel and wiped it, but it was too late. It couldn't be wiped off at all. She said expressionlessly, "It's all Zhan Shengguang! He wanted to get in touch with Mr. Li from Changlin, so he asked me to coax his sister! I went to coax her today and acted as a model, but the woman brought a friend with her and spilled coffee on my skirt like a blind man!"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong: "Her friend must have something against me, otherwise, in such a big place, the coffee in her hand would have spilled on my skirt! How did I provoke her?"
Fu Chen followed up with a curse: "What kind of person is this! We won't play with her next time. If Zhan Shengguang wants to coax someone, he should do it himself. Why is he using you as a raft?"
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Fu Chen: "Here I am. Who is it?"
She went to open the door and saw three well-dressed women standing at the door, smiling at them.
"Hello, who is Ms. Lian Jiao?"
Lian Jiao came out. She had changed into a long silk dress. She looked at the people at the door, then smiled and invited them in.
The leader of the three women showed her the dress in her hand, which also had an accessory, a red jade necklace.
Lian Jiao: “This is——”
"Miss Pei Qing asked us to bring it. She said she felt very sorry and hoped you wouldn't be angry."
The smile on Lian Jiao's face became more genuine: "How could it be? It was just an accident."
She happily sent the person who delivered the dress away, and turned around to see Fu Chen looking at the red jade necklace.
Lian Jiao held the string of red jade in her hand, and heard Fu Chen's admiring voice.
"The daughter of the Li family is so generous."
Lian Jiao: "Who says it's not true? It's true that it's different when you have money."
She thought of Zhan Shengguang again, and his many beautiful women, and said to Fu Chen, "It seems that it is much better to coax her than to coax Zhan Shengguang. At least all kinds of women won't come to me and try to squeeze me out."
Fu Chen sat next to her and said, "What is Zhan Shengguang thinking? Is he trying to coax you and find another employer?"
Lian Jiao: "That has to be someone who likes him. If he goes in, I'll be the one to rescue him. If he finds someone who is equally matched, who will tolerate him!"
Fu Chen: "That's right, Miss will not stand this kind of anger, it's because we can't reincarnate!"
Lian Jiao said angrily, "Isn't it just endurance? I have endured it for so many years."
Fu Chen sighed: "I'm afraid that old woman is here, it will be difficult for you to enter the house."
Lian Jiao stared at the red jade in her hand and said, "I have taken ninety-nine steps. I only need this last step."
She didn't want to give up at all.
Fu Chen wanted to say, you have been with Zhan Shengguang from 21 to 26, why don’t you change to someone with a little wealth, it’s not easier than to coax a man like Zhan Shengguang who has all kinds of women, is easily influenced by women, and has an old lady at home.
But Lian Jiao obviously didn't listen.
Fu Chen could only think about it.
Lian Jiao remembered something and said to Fu Chen, "Pei Qing will be here soon, prepare some food."
Fu Chen: “Oh.”
Lian Jiao: "Forget it, I'll order the food. There was a good afternoon tea restaurant before."
Not long after she ordered the food, Zhan Shengguang called and asked how her afternoon chat with Pei Qing went.
Lian Jiao picked up her phone and walked to the French window. She leaned against the window and said, "It's fine, but she brought a friend over and got my skirt dirty."
She complained quietly, "It's still the same skirt you bought me last time."
Zhan Shengguang didn't remember which one it was, so he just coaxed her, "Use my card to buy another one, it's just a skirt."
Lian Jiao did not refuse: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely complete Pei Qing's request."
She glanced at the nails on her hands that were gleaming in the sun, and then said, "Pei Qing is easy to talk to, and she's not difficult to deal with. You don't have to worry. I won't mess up your business."
Zhan Shengguang: “That’s good.”
Lian Jiao was talking on the phone with Zhan Shengguang over there, and the doorbell of the salon rang again.
Fu Chen went to open the door again. She was afraid it was Pei Qing, so she went to greet him with a smile, but it turned out to be a delivery boy wearing a yellow vest.
"Hello, is this Lian Jiao? Here are your flowers."
It's a bunch of white chrysanthemums.
Fu Chen frowned. The delivery boy urged her to take the order. Fu Chen took it, and as soon as the delivery boy turned around, she threw the flowers into the trash can.
"Hey? What flowers? Why are they thrown into the trash can?"
When Pei Qing and Han Heyue walked up, they happened to see the delivery boy coming out, and then saw Fu Chen throw the flowers into the trash can without wasting a second.
Now, any little thing wrong could attract Pei Qing's attention, so she asked directly.
A trace of embarrassment quickly flashed across Fu Chen's face.
Pei Qing walked forward puzzledly and found a bunch of white chrysanthemums in the trash can.
Pei Qing found it even more strange.
"Who is it? Giving flowers and white chrysanthemums to people?"
Without waiting for Fu Chen to stop him, Pei Qing picked up the flowers from the trash can.
Fu Chen was shocked. Why would someone pick flowers from the trash can?
"Hello, may I ask who you are——"
Pei Qing patted the bouquet and said, "My name is Pei Qing."
Fu Chen: "Oh, it's you. Throw the flowers here. Come in quickly. Jiaojiao just ordered some afternoon tea. Come and have a taste."
She said this, but Pei Qing didn't show any intention to respond.
Pei Qing looked at the flowers carefully.
Fu Chen: Why is this rich man so weird?
She was just about to take the white chrysanthemum back from Pei Qing's hand, but Pei Qing placed the chrysanthemum with the petals facing downwards and shook it, and out came a card with red stains dripping from it.
Pei Qing: "What is this?"
She was about to pick up the card, but Fu Chen picked it up first.
Fu Chen: "Nothing, nothing, let's have some afternoon tea first."
Han Heyue held her back and said, "What are you doing? See what's going on."
She took the card from Fu Chen, turned it over, and found that it read:
“Lian Jiao, die, die, die, die…Lian Jiao, die, die, die…”
The card was densely packed with messages and water was dripping down.
Han Heyue immediately handed the card to Pei Qing.
Pei Qing glanced at the handwriting on the card and smelled it.
Han Heyue: "Hey, don't get so close."
Pei Qing: "It's okay. I should have stopped the delivery man and asked him who sent it."
She thought about Fu Chen's attempts to stop her just now, and asked again, "Do you know who sent it?"
Fu Chenjian failed to hide it, so she pulled the braid beside her ear and said, "It's just those few women. Alas, it's not the first time. I handled it myself and didn't let Jiaojiao see it."
She tried to hold it back, but couldn't help saying, "It's just that Zhan Shengguang is flirting with other women. Those women are fooled by him and think they can get promoted. They send some creepy things to Jiaojiao every now and then. Ha, it's all Zhan Shengguang's tricks to coax people."
Pei Qing asked: "Do you have any plastic bags?"
Fu Chen: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Pei Qing said simply: "Prepare to call the police."
Fu Chen was stuck: "No, no need."
Pei Qing: "People like this need to be educated by the police station. It seems that this bouquet of white chrysanthemums is well packaged. It should be packaged by a flower shop. Ask them for the other party's contact information or the other party's payment record. We can find out the source by following the clues. Find it out and let the police educate them. Otherwise, as you said, threats and intimidation will never end, which will affect your mood."
Fu Chen: “Not good.”
Pei Qing didn't understand: "What's wrong with that?"
Fu Chen looked at Lian Jiao. Lian Jiao had just finished a phone call with Zhan Shengguang and turned around and walked over.
Seeing several people standing at the door and not coming in, she was surprised: "What are you doing at the door? Come in quickly..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Bai Ju who was placed aside.
Her face suddenly changed.
"Why are you here again!"
Fu Chen hurriedly hugged her.
"Relax, relax, relax, take a deep breath, it's okay. I was just about to throw it."
Lian Jiao took a few deep breaths before she managed to calm down. She looked at Pei Qing apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself when I saw Bai Ju."
Pei Qing advised: "Let's call the police. What about Zhan Shengguang? Doesn't he care?"
Lian Jiao forced a smile: "He's busy."
In fact, there was nothing to be busy about, but there were so many beautiful girls around Zhan Shengguang that he himself didn't know who sent the gift.
If Lian Jiao called the police repeatedly for this, it would be an exaggeration and she would be caught by the old lady of the Zhan family and taught a lesson.
In order to reduce trouble, Lian Jiao had to swallow her anger.
Pei Qing patted his chest, indignant: "If he doesn't care, I'll help you. Call the police now. Where is the evidence from the previous times?"
Fu Chen hesitated: "Throw it away."
Pei Qing felt it was a pity: "There is no other way, let's just use this one this time."
She shook the card in the plastic bag and asked Fu Chen to call the police.
＊
The police station had a lot of affairs to deal with, so Pei Qing found Xu An, who asked an acquaintance at the police station for help. The next morning, the police station gave him the result.
"It's a woman named Qiao Zhizhi, she's in the police station now."
Qiao Zhizhi, Lian Jiao searched through her memories. This was the woman who appeared next to Zhan Shengguang last month. Later, she led Zhan Shengguang to play 1v3. Lian Jiao was afraid that Zhan Shengguang would play her to death, so she used some means to drive her away.
She held her anger and called Zhan Shengguang over.
Zhan Shengguang played until midnight last night before being sent home by the driver. When Lian Jiao called him up in the morning, he was still reluctant.
Zhan Shengguang: "What are you doing! Stop bothering me!"
Lian Jiao sat beside his bed and said, "Pei Qing helped me find the person who sent me the threatening letter. Why don't you go and take a look? What should I say when Pei Qing asks you about it?"
She said calmly, "Yesterday Pei Qing asked me why I didn't care. I was afraid she would have a problem with you. Didn't you say that Mr. Li likes this sister very much? What if she goes home and tells Mr. Li something, and Mr. Li has a bad impression of you——"
Zhan Shengguang immediately got up from the bed.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you later."
Lian Jiao snorted softly, knowing that Zhan Shengguang would be like this, only caring about his own pleasure. She was just the most presentable option among all his choices.
Zhan Shengguang and Lian Jiao arrived at the police station and found that Pei Qing had arrived earlier than them.
Both of them were surprised.
Pei Qing was sitting on the bench waiting. Lian Jiao noticed that Pei Qing was still dressed very simply today, a white T-shirt and long pants, with no makeup on her face, looking quite casual.
She thought to herself, Pei Qing and she were indeed not the same kind of people.
People like her are only afraid that their clothes and jewelry are not numerous or exquisite enough. Pei Qing's jewelry should be kept at home. Even if they are not worn, there are people to take care of them.
It's true that people have different fates.
Lian Jiao felt strange. Pei Qing saw her and waved at her.
Lian Jiao hugged Zhan Shengguang's arm and walked to Pei Qing with a smile on her face.
Pei Qing glanced at Zhan Shengguang. Oh my God, he has such heavy dark bags under his eyes. Did he not sleep last night? Where did he go to flirt with other girls again?
She looked at Lian Jiao hugging Zhan Shengguang's arm affectionately. Well, forget it. These two are both willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten.
The police officer in charge of the case came out and asked who Lian Jiao was.
Pei Qing pulled Lian Jiao away from Zhan Shengguang, pointed at Lian Jiao and said, "That's her."
She and Lian Jiao walked into the mediation room together and saw Qiao Zhizhi lying on the table in a vain manner.
Apparently, this was also a sleepless night.
When Qiao Zhizhi was called by the police, she didn't know what time it was.
But when she opened her eyes, she saw Lian Jiao. The anger on her face was still there. Then she saw Zhan Shengguang behind Lian Jiao, and her expression suddenly changed, revealing a bright smile.
Pei Qing was amazed.
The police mediated between the two parties. Generally, sending threatening letters will result in detention of no more than five days or a fine of no more than 500 yuan. Lian Jiao had enough money, so she just wanted Qiao Zhizhi to be detained.
Qiao Zhizhi immediately burst into tears in front of the police officer in charge of the case.
"Uncle police, I just don't understand the law. I don't need to be detained."
After saying that, she looked at Zhan Shengguang with tears in her eyes: "Shengguang, I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time. I really don't dare to do it again. Look at your girlfriend, she is so majestic. You got up so early, you must be exhausted. Look at her, she doesn't sympathize with you at all..."
Pei Qing was also convinced. He was about to be detained, but this woman was still trying to fan the flames.
None of the women around Zhan Shengguang are easy to deal with.
Zhan Shengguang was obviously trying to appease her: "There's no need to detain her. What's the environment like in a detention center? Hey, Jiaojiao, just ask her to apologize to you and promise not to send you anything in the future."
Lian Jiao could hardly keep the smile on her face. She glanced at Pei Qing, who was looking at her with his eyes and her nose with his nose. She didn't want to talk and just let these men and women hurt each other.
In the end, Qiao Zhizhi apologized to Lian Jiao in a sarcastic tone.
Lian Jiao asked her to be more careful next time.
"You may not be so lucky next time."
Qiao Zhizhi shook her hair: "Do I need you to tell me, humph."
She glanced at Zhan Shengguang and felt that there was no way she could hook up with him today, so she gave up decisively and walked out of the police station.
Zhan Shengguang stood at the door of the police station and wanted to invite Pei Qing to dinner, but Pei Qing refused quickly. Who wants to have dinner with such a person?
She glanced at the fiancée in front of her and said to Zhan Shengguang, "You should be nicer to your future wife."
How can Lian Jiao endure such a life?
After that, Pei Qing asked Lian Jiao again: "What are your plans for the afternoon? Are you going to your salon?"
Lian Jiao: "Yes, there are a few guests and I'll show my face."
Pei Qing: "Then I'll come play with you when I'm free."
Lian Jiao smiled and said yes.
The three of them separated.
Pei Qing sat in the car, watching Lian Jiao and Zhan Shengguang's car drive away, and then drove to find Qiao Zhizhi.
Qiao Zhizhi shouldn't have gone far.
Sure enough, Pei Qing had only driven a few hundred meters when he saw Qiao Zhizhi standing at the intersection waiting for a bus.
She parked the car at the intersection, rolled down the window, and smiled at Qiao Zhizhi, "Get in. I'll give you a ride. Where do you live?"
Qiao Zhizhi looked up from her phone and saw Pei Qing.
"Who are you? Oh, Lian Jiao's friend, what do you want to do?"
She tapped her phone quickly, probably sending a message to someone.
Pei Qing: "It's faster to take my car than to go find your friend. It's only ten o'clock, your friend hasn't woken up yet, right?"
Only then did Qiao Zhizhi look at her seriously.
She always looks at people's clothes first, and found that Pei Qing dressed simply but drove a Porsche.
Pei Qing waited until she finished looking at him before asking, "Do you want to come up and sit?"
Qiao Zhizhi opened the car door and took a few steps to sit in the passenger seat.
Pei Qing: "Seat belt."
Qiao Zhizhi: "Why are you so troublesome!"
Pei Qing looked at her: "Of course safety comes first when driving."
Only after Qiao Zhizhi sent the seat belt did she have time to look at Pei Qing.
"Are you Lian Jiao's friend? You don't look like it. You don't look like Zhan Shengguang's friend either. Where did you come from? I haven't seen you before."
Pei Qing: "I haven't seen you before, why don't I look like Lian Jiao's friend?"
Qiao Zhizhi: "Lian Jiao is just someone who wants to climb the social ladder. I've seen a lot of people like her. The people around her either want to climb the social ladder with her or want to make money from her. None of them are useful."
She glanced at Pei Qing again: "She doesn't have any friends who drive Porsches. Judging from Zhan Shengguang's attitude towards you, you should come from a well-off family. Why do you dress like this?"
Qiao Zhizhi was speechless when she saw her smooth face.
"These days, the poor really want to be rich, while the rich don't treat money as money and just wear a white T-shirt when they go out."
Pei Qing: "I can wear whatever I want, as long as I'm happy. Are you familiar with Lian Jiao? Don't take off your shoes in my car!"
Qiao Zhizhi retracted her feet.
"What? My feet hurt."
Pei Qing: "I didn't ask you to come to the police station wearing high heels."
Qiao Zhizhi: "Why are you asking about Lian Jiao? You must look down on Zhan Shengguang. Just now at the police station, you didn't even glance at him."
Pei Qing: "Just ask, I'm curious, why doesn't she break up."
Qiao Zhizhi: "What's the big deal? If it were me, I wouldn't break up either. Anyone who does is stupid. She was able to endure until Zhan Shengguang proposed to her, and it was just the final push. Why break up?"
Pei Qing was speechless: "And then I have to endure your anger every day?"
Qiao Zhizhi fiddled with the pillow in the car and said, "Why are we the ones who are making her angry? It's obviously because she chose a bad man. You can't say that. She should be blamed on herself. Who told her not to break up? She should have broken up earlier and still be angry like this."
Pei Qing finally understood, and when they reached the red light, she reached out to Qiao Zhizhi.
"Let me see your phone."
Qiao Zhizhi: "Why? You're not a policeman!"
Pei Qing glanced at the gilded bag she was carrying and said, "Show me your phone and I'll give you a new model from V."
Qiao Zhizhi had a bright smile on her face: "Rich woman, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll give it to you."
She handed the phone to Pei Qing, who flipped through it but didn't find Panda TV, and there was no history in the app uninstallation list.
But it's true. Seeing Qiao Zhizhi's unrestrained look, you know it wasn't her who came to her live broadcast room to request a work.
Pei Qing opened WeChat and found that Qiao Zhizhi had several groups.
She returned the phone and asked, "You don't have another group targeting Lian Jiao, do you?"
Qiao Zhizhi yawned, "Who has the time to target her? We have always been developing in multiple fields, and we will go after whichever one has hope. I am not Lian Jiao, who is blinded by greed and wants to hang herself on Zhan Shengguang's crooked tree. There is also a difficult old woman at home. I am afraid that I will have to serve her foot washing water when I enter the house. I want to be a rich wife, not an old woman's foot-washing maid."
Pei Qing: "Then you sent her a threatening letter?"
Qiao Zhizhi: "You don't know? She said I was involved in a gang fight and reported me. I definitely can't swallow this!"
Pei Qing asked again: "Besides you, has anyone else sent threatening letters to Lian Jiao?"
Qiao Zhizhi: "There are a few, some of the women Lian Jiao has dealt with, but don't worry, for your sake, I will persuade them to stop for the time being and give face to the rich sister. If you are willing to give them something, they won't rush to anger Lian Jiao."
Pei Qing glanced at Qiao Zhizhi. Qiao Zhizhi's bottom line was very flexible. It seemed that if Pei Qing paid, she could handle a small matter like the threatening letter.
Pei Qing: "Okay, but if there are any more threatening letters——"
Qiao Zhizhi patted her chest and said, "That must be my fault. Don't worry, I will definitely find out who sent it for you. There are only a few people in the circle. Anyone who dares not to give you face is going to make things difficult for us sisters!"
＊
At seven o'clock in the evening, Pei Qing returned home.
Xu An was also at home. He had just finished his last case and was cutting grapefruit at home.
"Hey, you're back? Why are you so tired?"
Pei Qing: "Several women, several different perfumes, so noisy..."
She threw herself on the sofa and complained to Xu An: "Lian Jiao can actually live like this. If it were me, I would have slapped Zhan Shengguang in the face on the first day."
Li Muxu: "If you feel annoyed, just ignore it and go home to rest."
Pei Qing: "That won't work. We can't just watch Lian Jiao die. Qiao Zhizhi has promised me that she will keep a close eye on those women of Zhan Shengguang and will not target Lian Jiao. Next, I'm going to check Lian Jiao's circle of friends."
She gave herself clear tasks, but things always turned out unexpectedly.
The day before, Qiao Zhizhi was still assuring Pei Qing that she would never cause trouble for Lian Jiao. The next day, Lian Jiao's salon received another threatening letter.
This threatening letter was the same as the one Qiao Zhizhi sent to Lian Jiao last time, with red stains dripping on the card.
The police officer at the police station once said that this is a kind of red pigment, not blood, and it just has a scare effect.
After the news spread, Qiao Zhizhi called and swore to heaven: "Rich sister, believe me, it was definitely not us sisters who did it. Even if it was us, we would not rush to send things to Lian Jiao the next day. Who wants to go to the police station!"
Pei Qing had no choice but to rush to Lian Jiao's salon to see what the threatening letter was about.
