Have you ever seen what the provincial capital looks like at four in the morning?
Wang Peng walked on the unlit highway, recalling the words of the doctor on duty in the hospital's emergency room.
When humans are drunk and unconscious, they will have physiological reactions if they are stimulated by external factors. This includes men, of course.
Wang Peng was both amused and annoyed, feeling that he had been insulted.
Thinking about it carefully, I didn't feel any resistance or disgust, after all, the other party was Li Mengjiao.
The two were deskmates for three years in high school and had a very good relationship, so it's strange that things have come to this.
"God, are you kidding me?"
Suddenly, light appeared behind them.
He quickly turned around and vaguely saw a car coming, so he hurriedly walked to the side of the road.
A car was parked behind us, its siren flashing.
"Comrade, stay where you are." Someone shouted from inside the car.
Then the car door opened, and three traffic police officers came over with flashlights.
"Comrade, what happened? It's so late, why aren't you home sleeping?"
Wang Peng scratched his head. "Uncle, I'm Wang Peng."
"Huh?" Li Keyong quickly shone his flashlight on Wang Peng's face.
"Xiao Peng, what's going on?" Li Keyong hurriedly put down the flashlight.
“I had a fight with Mingzhu, and he kicked me out of the house,” Wang Peng said with a wry smile.
"Nonsense. I believe you had an argument, but she would never kick you out of the house this late."
Li Keyong became even more anxious, "Xiao Peng, quickly tell your uncle what happened!"
He knew his niece's temperament; such a thing was simply impossible.
Wang Peng said, "Here's what happened. We went out for drinks to celebrate completing the school's bid."
“Mingzhu and Dong Shishi both drank alcohol and slept at my house. Du Lei got drunk and stayed at my shop.”
“He was so drunk that he vomited all over the floor. I was worried something might happen, so I came to the hospital to buy some hangover medicine.”
"Because I was drinking and didn't drive, I had to walk to the hospital to buy medicine."
"The doctor said there was no hangover cure, just drink more strong tea, and that's how I ended up with this hangover."
Wang Peng wasn't worried about being exposed, as his words were 80% true and 20% false.
He wouldn't dare tell the whole truth.
"It's right not to drink and drive." Li Keyu was a little confused. "Get in the car, I'll take you to the tobacco and alcohol shop."
Wang Peng got into the police car and offered cigarettes to the officers on patrol late at night.
They all knew about the relationship between Wang Peng and Li Keyong, so they didn't stand on ceremony and chatted while smoking.
When the car arrived at the tobacco and liquor store, Wang Peng said, "Uncle, comrades, come in and have a cup of hot water."
“Okay, I am indeed thirsty.” Li Keyong got out of the car.
Wang Peng opened the shop door, and five traffic police officers went inside to rest.
The father and son went upstairs to get water cups and thermos flasks.
Li Keyong smelled the pungent odor of alcohol, reached out and pushed open Du Lei's door, then immediately closed it again.
"How much did he drink? He's vomiting all over the floor!"
Wang Peng shook his head. "He's happy to make so much money all at once."
The father and son carried the teapot downstairs, and Wang Peng took out tea leaves and brewed a pot of tea.
"Uncle, are you going to patrol all night?"
Li Keyong nodded, glanced at his watch, and said, "I'll be working the night shift this month, with the shift ending at seven in the morning."
Wang Peng poured five cups of hot tea, one for each of his comrades.
Just then, a woman's voice came through the walkie-talkie, "College Number Two, College Number Two."
Li Keyong pressed the intercom button, "College No. 2 received."
"A major traffic accident has occurred at intersection number three. Please proceed to the scene as soon as possible."
The air tensed instantly, and Li Keyong hurriedly replied, "Received, I'll be right there."
All five traffic police officers put down their teacups and strode out the door.
"Uncle, get some water." Wang Peng ran out carrying a box of mineral water.
The police car had already started moving, and he stuffed half a case of bottled water into it through the car window.
"Xiao Peng, you should go to sleep," someone in the car said.
Li Keyong stepped on the gas and drove off.
After closing the shop door, Wang Peng couldn't sleep anymore and sat by the counter in a daze.
At 4:30 a.m., the phone suddenly rang.
Wang Peng answered the phone immediately, "Hello."
"Brother, I knew you weren't asleep." Li Mengjiao's voice.
Wang Peng smiled wryly, "Don't stay up late anymore, it's not good for you or the child."
"Hehe!" Li Mengjiao chuckled, "It's 8:30 PM in the UK, what time is it where you are?"
Wang Peng scratched his head, momentarily forgetting about the time difference.
"Mengjiao, give me your account number, I'll transfer some money to you."
At this point, he was both amused and exasperated. "I went to the hospital to ask, and you're being ridiculous. Did you even consider my feelings?"
"Brother, I apologize to you. I'm sorry."
Changing the subject, Li Mengjiao added, "But I don't regret it, I want a child."
"Oh dear!" Wang Peng sighed deeply. "What kind of mess is this?"
"Brother, I will never go back in this lifetime, nor do I want to get married, and I will never affect your life."
Li Mengjiao said, "Being alone is too lonely, so having something to rely on is very important."
"Alright, alright." Wang Peng had a headache.
He opened the drawer and took out paper and pen. "How should I transfer the money to you? Should I go to the bank to exchange it for pounds first?"
"Brother, you don't need to give me money."
Li Mengjiao said, "But I want to expand our business. What are your plans?"
The business she was referring to was family planning products, specifically selling contraceptive condoms to the large Eastern country.
"Brother, I've contacted Scottish Gloves condom company, and they've agreed to manufacture for us James Bond."
"So don't worry about the supply here, there's plenty to go around."
