Chapter 44: Beating
Mr. Shi is worthy of being Mr. Shi, he does not follow the beaten path at all.
For him, misunderstandings never last overnight. In the restaurant, Lin You didn't give him a chance to explain.
The boss directly asked the manager for the surveillance video of the incident to prove his innocence.
Just when Lin You thought he had finished watching the video, Shi Jingyuan called.
Lin You answered the call. This time, the roles were reversed. Mr. Shi spoke first and didn't give her a chance to speak.
"Ms. Lin, it's basic etiquette not to answer the phone casually. Your indiscriminate questioning of my behavior makes me feel uncomfortable."
"Although I admire you and am willing to pursue you in a low-key manner according to your request, this does not mean that you have the right to question me at will."
Well, it's well-reasoned and step-by-step.
After listening to this, Lin You responded seriously, "So, Mr. Shi, are you trying to reason with me?"
Shi Jingyuan was sitting on the balcony on the second floor of the villa at this time. In front of him was not an ashtray, but a glass of red wine.
Thanks to someone, smoking has become a problem for him now.
He took a sip of red wine, considered it carefully, and said, "Am I wrong?"
Lin You pulled up the quilt that had slipped down. "You're right, but..."
Shi Jingyuan frowned. Hearing the change in her tone, he knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next second, her cold and indifferent voice came from the receiver.
"Have you ever heard that reasoning with a woman is the most boring thing. Because women are emotional animals. When there is a conflict, they only talk about feelings, not reason."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Shi Jingyuan held the phone in his hand, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
His face became increasingly gloomy. Over the years, he had never failed in anything he wanted to do.
This is the first time I have tasted failure.
What made him even more annoyed was that this woman was like a closed box, with each side made of solid iron plates, and there was no weakness at all for him to attack.
He was preoccupied with something and soon finished a bottle of red wine.
This night, some are happy and some are sad.
Lin You thought that after confronting Shi Jingyuan, she would be able to sleep well.
When she woke up in the morning, she had two thick dark circles under her eyes.
She squeezed toothpaste onto the electric toothbrush, listened to the buzzing sound, and unconsciously recalled the bizarre dream she had last night.
In the dream, Shi Jingyuan seemed to have turned into the king of a Lilliputian country, holding a spear as long as chopsticks in his hand, and kept poking her chest.
Poking and scolding at the same time.
"Gibberish?"
Lin You muttered these words incoherently, rinsed his mouth with a sip of water, and spit out the foam in his mouth.
Shi Jingyuan helped her find Hu Baoer, but not only did she not repay him, she also treated him coldly and violently.
While eating in the restaurant, he kindly helped her answer the phone, but she gave him the cold shoulder.
She did these things in a very unkind way and was quite ungrateful.
but……
A short pain is worse than a long one, and she has to be a bad person after all.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin You received the first payment after his comeback.
Although it's only 5,000 yuan, it's a good start.
She was in a good mood and took the initiative to ask Chen Lingling out for dinner in the evening.
To her surprise, Chen Lingling actually refused.
"Sister, although I really want to eat your feast, tonight is a matter of life and death for me, and I really don't have the time."
There was a seriousness in her tone that could be felt even through the phone.
Lin You asked with concern: "What is this matter of life and death?"
Chen Lingling seemed to have made up her mind before she lowered her voice and said, "Tonight, we have a battle to protect our idol!"
What the hell?
Lin You widened his eyes, not understanding.
Chen Lingling explained for a long time before she finally understood what was going on.
The "WeChat group of Mr. Shi's fans" has a large number of members, and some of the fans are very powerful and have a lot of connections.
I don’t know where they got the news that someone was going to attack Shi Jingyuan tonight.
Lin You didn't believe it. "That's impossible. Why would they attack him out of the blue?"
"Who knows, but they said the source is very reliable, and they also found out that they will be attending a party at a bar tonight."
As the group leader, Chen Lingling must of course respond to the call of the group members and do her part to protect the male god.
Lin You thought they were just looking for trouble. "Why don't you just tell him that he might be in danger? He has bodyguards, so why should you get involved in these matters?"
Chen Lingling said confidently, "We have no evidence. Who would believe it if we just told others about it?"
Lin You: “…”
She didn't know what to say.
Call them crazy, but they are quite self-aware.
You could say they were rational, but they actually organized a defense operation for a piece of fabricated news.
Lin You couldn't persuade her, so he could only let her go and just treat it as a pastime after work.
Besides, even if something really happened, the professional bodyguards around Shi Jingyuan would be much more useful than them.

What Lin You didn't expect was that this unreliable group of fan girls actually did something earth-shattering.
Lin You had just washed the dishes when he received the call from the police station.
After hearing from the police that Chen Lingling had been arrested on suspicion of intentional injury and was now cooperating with the investigation, she took off her apron, picked up her backpack and went out.
She rushed to the police station and saw that the hall was very bustling as soon as she entered.
Like her, there were about seven or eight family members of the people involved who rushed over.
The police officer gave a brief introduction to the situation.
Six members of the so-called "Shi Zong Fan Girls Group" got into a fight with a 30-year-old young man at the door of a bar and even sent him to the hospital.
Now, the young man who was beaten wants to sue them for intentional injury.
"Comrade police officer, my daughter just graduated from college. She has always been a good student and well behaved. How could she possibly hit someone?"
"Yeah, my sister is the same. She usually speaks softly and never hits anyone."
"Is there some misunderstanding here? Police comrades, you must not wrongly accuse good people."
A group of people surrounded the policeman and talked at once. It took the policeman a while to find a chance to speak.
"We will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, don't worry. But they can't leave the police station until the matter is fully investigated."
Lin You frowned, thought carefully, and asked, "Comrade police officer, did they say why they beat people?"
The police officer replied: "They said they saw the person being beaten splashing water in the bar..."
He forgot his name.
Lin You tentatively reminded, "Shi Jingyuan?"
After she reminded him, the police officer remembered.
"Yes, that's the name."
"They said that person splashed Shi Jingyuan with an unknown liquid first, and they were afraid that person would run away, so they had a conflict at the door."
Lin You was even more puzzled. "If you think about it, they are doing good things. Why can't they be released?"
The police officer waved his hand. "These are just one-sided accounts. There's currently no evidence to suggest the person being assaulted had previously attacked anyone else in the bar."
