When the head of the security department asked her to go with him to the police station to pick up the person, Xu Keke was in a meeting at the factory.
"The police station said his direct supervisor should pick him up. Okay, let's go together."
Upon entering the police station, Wei Guodong was sitting with his head down next to the police officer's desk.
When he looked up, Xu Keke was startled.
That once beautiful face is now so ruined that it's unrecognizable.
There was a fresh bluish ring around one eye. There was blood at the corner of the mouth, which looked like it was cut, but the face was too dirty to see clearly.
His clothes were torn to shreds.
"Sis, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing Xu Keke enter, Wei Guodong jumped up with a start, tugging at the wound on his lip. After shouting, he quickly gasped for breath.
Xu Keke felt pain just looking at it. "Who hit you?"
Before Wei Guodong could speak, Wang Lin came out of the inner office and walked towards them.
The head of the security department recognized him, took a few steps to meet him, and asked him about the situation.
According to Wang Lin, Wei Guodong had been loitering around a guesthouse. The staff there found his behavior suspicious and, judging by his clothes, didn't think he was a good person. So they took him to the police station.
"If there's any misunderstanding, just explain it clearly. Why did you resort to violence?" Xu Keke asked Wei Guodong.
"They insisted on taking me to the police station. That's why I resisted a bit," Wei Guodong said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
Wang Lin looked at him with displeasure. This kid was acting all high and mighty just now, like a complete scoundrel. Now he's putting on an act.
"What are you doing at the guesthouse? Are you looking for someone?" Xu Keke asked him patiently.
She remembered that when she arrived at the factory, the sales staff told her that Wei Guodong had gone out to discuss business.
"Yeah, they told me that someone came here to buy leather shoes. They're staying at the guesthouse, but I don't know their name or which room they're in. When I asked the people at the guesthouse, they were rude and wouldn't tell me anything. In the end, they resorted to violence."
Wei Guodong knew he had made mistakes, and he didn't dare look Xu Keke in the eye. His voice grew softer and softer.
Realizing it was a misunderstanding, Xu Keke looked at Wang Lin. "Since it's a misunderstanding, can we take the people and leave? Or do we need to go through any procedures?"
Wang Lin looked at her expressionlessly, his dark eyes seemingly calm and still, yet giving Xu Keke a sense of oppression.
"Come with me for a moment, there are some things we need to understand."
After saying this, he turned and left. Xu Keke had no choice but to follow.
Sensing something was wrong, Wei Guodong also got up and followed Xu Keke.
Upon reaching the office door, Wang Lin stopped, turned around, and said sternly to Wei Guodong with a cold face, "Go back and sit down."
Wei Guodong replied with a grin, "No, Director Wang, if you have any questions, ask me. Our section chief doesn't know anything either."
Seeing Wang Lin's increasingly sharp gaze, Xu Keke quickly stepped between the two and gave Wei Guodong a wink, "Don't cause trouble, stop messing around."
The head of the security department also came over and grabbed Wei Guodong, saying, "You'd better behave yourself, you're everywhere."
After the two went inside, Wang Lin closed the door. "Zheng Shu said she came looking for you."
Xu Keke rolled her eyes inwardly. She knew it; there was nothing else going on between the couple.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. She's been spoiled by her family since she was little, so she has a bad temper and isn't very good at speaking. Don't take it to heart," Wang Lin said urgently to Xu Keke.
Xu Keke chuckled, and seeing Wang Lin's puzzled look, she waved her hand with a smile.
"It's nothing. I just remembered someone telling me a few days ago that she had a hard life, so don't hold it against her."
Wang Lin looked at her blankly, not understanding what she meant. Xu Keke didn't want to explain to him. She just smiled and asked him,
"Do you know what Zheng Shu told me?"
Wang Lin shook his head. "She didn't say it, but she told me that you will never see me again."
Xu Keke said helplessly, "She didn't tell you that I told her that it's best not to involve a third party in your relationship. How you manage your marriage is your own business, and whether it's good or bad is none of anyone else's concern."
"But we're not what you think, we're actually..."
Fearing he might say more, Xu Keke quickly interrupted him, "Let me repeat what I told her to you again. I'm very grateful for your help. But we're just old classmates. Of course, we could also not even be old classmates, just strangers."
Before Wang Lin could say anything more, Wei Guodong pushed open the door from the outside. "Director Wang, I think it would be clearer if I explained it to you myself..."
Xu Keke smiled at Wei Guodong, then said to Wang Lin in a businesslike tone,
"Director Wang, is there anything else you need to know from me? If not, we'll take him back first. Don't worry, we'll definitely give him a good talking-to when we get back."
After staring at Xu Keke for a long time, Wang Lin squeezed out a few words, "That's all, you can leave now."
Xu Keke breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
She could actually guess what Wang Lin wanted to say to her.
Even though they live in the same city, a mother can spend long periods of time away from her child, while a normal couple doesn't live together and only sees each other every now and then.
Most importantly, Wang Lei looks neither like Wang Lin nor Zheng Shu.
If I'm not mistaken, this child should be adopted by Wang Lin. Their marriage is a sham.
This messy marriage and their affairs have nothing to do with her.
As soon as Wei Guodong left the police station, he tried to go. The head of the security department grabbed his arm and wouldn't let him go, insisting on taking him back to the factory.
“I’m going to the guesthouse. I know which room that guy is staying in. He came out when the fight started. Just like they told me, he has a mole on his chin and is in his thirties. When they took me away, I told him to wait for me.”
Wei Guodong couldn't pry open the head of the security department's hand, so he anxiously asked Xu Keke for help.
“Let him go. We can’t keep him locked up in the factory forever.”
Xu Keke then turned to Wei Guodong and said, "If you can reason with them, then talk to them properly. If you can't, then leave. No more physical violence, understand?"
Wei Guodong nodded repeatedly in agreement. "If we can get this order, it'll be a huge deal. He's from the west and doesn't know the situation here."
"Let him go and take a look; he's doing it for his job. Don't worry, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."
Even without Xu Keke's prompting, the head of the security department was already planning to back down. After the last incident, everyone in the factory knew that the factory's current operating situation was not optimistic.
Everyone in the factory is now working hard, thinking about how to make the factory better.
Once free, Wei Guodong turned and ran. Before running away, he shouted to the two of them, "Wait for my good news!"
Xu Keke was surprised that Wei Guodong actually brought back good news. The other party had decided to place an order with them. This meant that they would have their own orders now.
