In the suburbs, in a dilapidated courtyard, a man was bound hand and foot, his mouth stuffed with a wad of cloth, struggling and whimpering.
Li Ying entered the courtyard wearing a veil, and Zhou Qi came to greet her.
"Sister Ying."
"Was anyone seen?"
"No!"
Li Ying nodded: "Very good."
Tian Li helped the dazed Tian Bingbing into the courtyard. Zhou Qi closed the gate and stood guard at the entrance, motionless.
Li Ying stood at the entrance of the main room, and Tian Li led Tian Bingbing inside.
In the corner of the room, the man, now freed from his ropes, stared fearfully at the three women.
Who are you? What do you want?
The moment he made a sound, Tian Bingbing's eyes flickered, going from blank to panic, and then to a look of terror as she tried to run away.
Tian Li grabbed Tian Bingbing and shoved a pair of scissors into his hand.
"Sis, if anyone bullies you, come back to them!"
As Tian Bingbing held the scissors, she stopped, slowly turned around, a flash of hatred in her eyes, and rushed towards the man.
The man tried to get up, but his legs wouldn't obey him, and he fell to the ground.
"What do you want? Do you know who I am? Do you know who my sister is? My brother-in-law is the director of the Dongcheng Education Bureau! My sister is the wife of the director of the Education Bureau!" The man ran, crawled, and shouted.
"What's your sister's name?" Li Ying pressed.
"My sister's name is Rong Fei! If you dare to touch me today, she won't let you get away with it!"
Rong Fei, isn't she Rong Ning's mother?
Tian Li grabbed a stool and smashed it hard against the shouting man: "Rong Fei, right? The third party who ruined someone else's marriage, a shameless mistress!"
Rong Fei was Tian Li's father's second wife. According to seniority, the man in front of her should call her uncle, yet he did such a beastly thing!
"you……"
Tian Bingbing caught up and stabbed the man in the thigh with a pair of scissors, making him scream in pain.
One snip!
Two scissors!
Tian Bingbing deliberately targeted the man's most vulnerable spots, and with the last scissor cut, she viciously stabbed him in the genitals.
Blood stained her hands before Tian Bingbing stopped, let go, and the scissors slipped from her grasp. She then fell backward.
Tian Li reacted quickly and caught Tian Bingbing.
"Bingbing, let's go back."
When Tian Li heard his sister call his name, he was overjoyed and cried tears of joy. He nodded emphatically, "Let's go back, let's go back."
Tian Li helped Tian Bingbing leave. Li Ying knocked the man unconscious with a needle and then told Zhou Qi, "Let the people nearby find him. Don't let him die. We can't get involved in murder cases."
"Yes, Sister Ying."
"Also, give what you've found to Tong Danian, and he'll help us deal with this menace."
After speaking, Li Ying strode out of the courtyard.
Who said you can't call the police?
Li Ying simply wanted to use this method to activate Tian Bingbing's will to live, and then let the police station thoroughly investigate Rong Fei's younger brother.
As for what happened today, who witnessed it?
Under the lamplight, Li Ying was studying foreign medical literature very carefully. After Ye Jingchi returned, he sat on the edge of the bed and quietly watched her.
When Li Ying turned her head, she met Ye Jingchi's gaze, and the look in his eyes was captivating.
Is there something on my face?
Ye Jingchi chuckled softly: "Are you getting used to the research group's pace?"
"Yes, I'm getting used to it. With my junior brother around, he won't let me overwork myself," Li Ying said truthfully.
Ye Jingchi's expression changed visibly. "Today, Da Nian told me about a strange thing that happened in the suburbs of Dongcheng District. Do you want to hear it?"
Li Ying immediately became alarmed and turned to look at Ye Jingchi.
If Tong Danian could get into the police station, then he wasn't a fool.
Li Ying smiled self-deprecatingly. She shouldn't have been so clever as to go to Tong Danian to report Zhou Qi's existence.
I don't want to hear it.
"Okay, then I won't say. Da Nian said you took in a guy named Zhou Qi?"
"Yes, he's the man I saved that day. His name is Zhou Qi. He used to be at the Shaolin Temple, but now he has nowhere to go, so I asked him to help me manage the courtyard house." Li Ying didn't feel that these things were taboo and spoke frankly about them.
Her candor made it impossible for Ye Jingchi to find any fault with her.
"It's getting late, aren't you tired?"
Ye Jingchi took the book from Li Ying's hand, pulled her up, and got into bed to sleep.
Li Ying felt something was off; Ye Jingchi's recent behavior was very unusual, and he was much nicer to her than before.
"Let me massage your legs."
Before Li Ying could react, Ye Jingchi had already placed her legs on his own, gently rubbing them with endless heartache in his eyes.
Li Ying looked up and scrutinized Ye Jingchi. To be honest, this man was really good-looking, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was the prince charming in every girl's heart.
Noticing Li Ying's scrutiny, Ye Jingchi spoke up frankly: "If you want to look, just look openly. There's no need to sneak around."
Who wants to watch this?
Li Ying turned her head away; she didn't want to look at him.
"It's getting late, let's get some rest."
Li Ying lay down, and the man suddenly leaned close to her, pecked her lips, quickly pulled away, and turned off the light.
Li Ying was surprised and gently touched her lips. Something seemed different in the dim night.
Good news came quickly; three days later, news broke that the man had been arrested and was being tried.
Tian Li pulled Li Ying aside and began to ramble on: "It turns out he didn't just ruin my sister, but several other girls. That bastard will definitely spend the rest of his life in jail."
"How's your sister? Is she feeling any better?"
At this point, Tian Li was even happier: "Li Ying, you're simply amazing! My sister has fully recovered, and she's ready to take over my mother's steamed bun shop and work with her."
