Your kindness is his weapon to hurt you...
Wen Zichuan stayed in the hospital for five days. During this period, the police came twice. Once to return the 50,000 yuan and personal belongings that Liu Shixing had taken away, and once to inquire about the grudge between them and understand Liu Shixing's motive for kidnapping.
Listening to the emotional entanglement between the three men, even an experienced police officer could not help but look embarrassed.
Fortunately, the surveillance camera captured the entire process, and Wu Meng also recorded the call between Liu Shixing and Cheng Sizhou, so the whole cause and effect was now clear at a glance.
Wen Zichuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Liu Shixing would be sentenced to at least two or three years.
"I don't understand why he did that? There's surveillance at the entrance of the community, the car was rented, and the helpers were hired on short notice. He kidnapped you and then blackmailed me. How could he think he could succeed?!" Cheng Sizhou had been holding his breath, and only exploded after the police left.
"He bet you wouldn't dare call the police." Wen Zichuan said lightly.
"He kidnapped you, how could I not call the police?!" Cheng Sizhou hung his head in regret, not daring to look Wen Zichuan in the eye. "He came after me last time, and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it... But he can't hurt you, he can't hurt you..."
"Brother Zhou, have you ever thought that he can only hurt me?"
"What?"
"What Liu Shixing did seems stupid, right? But he's desperate. He owes Mr. Wei 10 million yuan, and no one can help him, so his target has always been your house."
"That's my parents', not mine."
"If you hadn't met me, and he came back to ask you to get back together, would you agree?"
"I won't."
"The second thing he's betting on is your softness and sympathy."
Wen Zichuan's tone was soft and lonely. He knew that Cheng Sizhou was very kind, and it was because Liu Shixing knew his kindness that he obtained the weapon to stab him.
"Zichuan, I'm a soft-hearted person who can't bear to see others suffer. However, I can tell the difference between sympathy and affection." A wave of fear surged in Cheng Sizhou's heart. He tightly gripped Wen Zichuan's hand, so hard that his knuckles turned white. "Seeing you covered in bruises last night, and thinking that Liu Shixing beat you and tied you up because I like you, I not only hate him, I hate myself even more! I simply... even dying ten thousand times wouldn't be enough!"
"Brother Zhou, don't say that," Wen Zichuan's eyes flushed, "I'm already very sad."
Cheng Sizhou carefully avoided the wound and pulled him into his arms: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I will make it up to you in the future. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I only listen to you..."
Wen Zichuan rested his chin on his shoulder: "Then you are not allowed to say 'sorry'."
Cheng Sizhou agreed: "Okay, I won't tell you."
Wen Zichuan raised his hand to wipe away his tears: "Anyway, Liu Shixing didn't like me entirely because of you. He deliberately made such a big noise, probably to get in."
"Why?!" Cheng Sizhou didn't understand why someone who was so afraid of hardship and fatigue wanted to go to jail.
"I heard from Wei Xiaoming that he can't pay back the money, and President Wei sends people to chase him every day. He has no freedom and might even be arrested and forced to sell himself to pay off his debts. Wouldn't it be safer to be imprisoned?" Wen Zichuan said word by word. "He's bound to do something. Putting himself in jail and hurting me is the lowest risk."
Not only was the risk the lowest, but it also avenged Wen Zichuan's decision to ask Xu Jiaxuan to call the police. If the police had not been alerted, President Wei would not have sent people to keep an eye on him so quickly, leaving him completely helpless.
"You can even use the drama of 'stealing a man' to cover up your real purpose." Wen Zichuan added in a hoarse voice.
"...He has a criminal record. What will happen in the future? He won't be able to return to normal life, right?" Cheng Sizhou frowned deeply.
Wen Zichuan pursed his lips, as if smiling, but did not answer.
To some extent, he is the same as Liu Shixing. In an environment surrounded by wolves, he relies on selling his appearance and voice in exchange for rewards.
Because the remuneration is high, they always take risks and try to get the skin of the tiger.
"Brother Zhou, I'm hungry."
"Okay, knowing you're hungry is a good thing. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."
"I want to eat fermented rice wine and flower cakes."
"Brother Zhou, takeout, whatever you deliver will be fast. Wait for me!"
As soon as Cheng Sizhou left, Su Zhuo called.
"Teacher Wen, I heard that you were not feeling well and asked for leave?"
Wen Zichuan emphasized his nasal tone and disguised his voice: "Well, I have a cold and my throat is not in good condition. Work may be postponed for a few days."
"It's okay, I've coordinated everything. It's almost the end of the year, so there's not much work to do. Just focus on recuperating and get well soon."
"Thanks."
After Wen Zichuan finished speaking, the receiver suddenly became quiet. He thought the signal was not very good, so he raised the phone towards the window.
"Teacher Wen, I'm sorry." After a while, Su Zhuo's muffled voice was heard.
"Why are you apologizing suddenly?" Wen Zichuan asked.
"...There's something I... am sorry for." Su Zhuo sounded like he was about to cry. "That time, you went to see President Jin, and President Jin forced you to accompany a guest. I was outside the door and heard it, but I... I was too cowardly and didn't stand up to stop it..."
It turned out to be because of that incident.
Not to mention that Su Zhuo had just joined the company and was at the bottom of the "food chain", even Chen Yilan and Yan Dantong could not influence President Jin's decision in that situation.
But Wen Zichuan felt a little comforted that he could think this way.
"It doesn't matter. If I were you, I wouldn't dare to do that in that situation."
"Teacher Wen, you can blame me, you can scold me! You've been to Xingyu Feiyu so many times, I have all the records here, but I never stood up once...! If it weren't for, if Sister Lanqin hadn't told me that President Wei didn't do anything to you, I wouldn't dare to come here to apologize today..."
"Yes, President Wei didn't do anything to me. He always treated me to delicious food and drinks. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. Now that you know everything, don't blame yourself anymore."
Su Zhuo is still young and cannot decisively conclude that "inaction" is also a kind of evil.
He had been stung by an inexplicable sense of guilt for more than a month, and Wen Zichuan's nonchalant attitude not only failed to alleviate his guilt, but made him even more sad.
Hearing the sobbing sound from the other side, Wen Zichuan patiently said in a coaxing tone: "It's over now. When I get back, I'll treat you to a big meal, okay?"
"Teacher Wen, you are so kind, wuwu... or, let me treat you... wuwu..."
After coaxing and deceiving little Su Zhuo and comforting him, Wen Zichuan discussed the matter of signing the contract with Xingyu Feiyu.
If Wei Jing had not lied to him, he would have received the five million yuan salary at least after the filming of the drama was completed. Could President Jin tolerate him paying the money back after a few months?
What if he comes up with some new way to compound interest, won’t I suffer a loss again?
Five million, he had never seen so much money in his life. If he didn't leave Di Er Sheng for the time being and directly participated in the TV series, would it be possible?
He didn't know why, although Mr. Wei was more famous and smarter than Mr. Jin, he always felt that it was easier to persuade Mr. Wei than Mr. Jin.
On the day of discharge, the doctor said that although Wen Zichuan's injuries looked scary, he was young and had good physical functions, so he recovered well.
Cheng Sizhou bowed several times to the medical staff, which made them flattered. After all, he was the son of Professor Cheng Xuecheng, a surgical genius. He was well-educated since childhood, sensible and polite. The talk of him being involved in gang fights was just nonsense.
After returning home, Wen Zichuan had to rest for a few days according to the doctor's advice, and he could only go out after the pain in his knee joints subsided.
In order to catch up on the work progress, Cheng Sizhou goes out early every morning and works overtime until nine or ten o'clock in the evening. He also has to prepare meals for the next day so that Wen Zichuan can eat them hot.
"Brother, are you hungry?" Cheng Sizhou pinched his sore shoulder and asked Yu Ming, "I'm so tired today. I don't want to cook. How about we go get some food?"
"Have you finished your work?" Yu Ming said through his teeth, "Master Cheng?"
Wow!
Cheng Sizhou got goosebumps all over his body, which fell all over the floor and then grew back again: "Are you possessed?"
Yu Ming gave him a glare: "You're not the one who's possessed?"
The ceramics group hasn't had any new members for a long time, so this time two interns were seconded, which can be considered as fresh blood. The main purpose is to allow Junior Brother Xiao Cheng to experience the feeling of being a senior brother.
The intern was very sweet-talker. Not only did he call him "Brother Cheng" all the time, he also served him tea, ran errands and massaged his shoulders, which greatly healed his soul which had been damaged by the high-intensity work.
Therefore, the two newcomers also received Cheng Sizhou's spring-like smile from the Shiba Inu.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of the unkind Yu Ming, the scene was no different from being possessed by evil spirits.
"It's done, it's done. Let's go eat." The intern had already left work, and Cheng Sizhou could only offer Yu Ming a gentle smile. "Don't you have something to tell me? You treat, I'll pack up."
"Pack it for him?" Yu Ming grasped the key point accurately.
"Don't gossip about me. I hate being gossiped about the most." Cheng Sizhou muttered.
"Does it belong to me to gossip about your affairs?" Yu Ming said as he was already packing up his things, preparing to go out to dinner with a fellow apprentice. "Does Master know anything?"
"How dare I tell him?" Cheng Sizhou sighed as he helped. "Brother, please keep this secret for me."
Yu Ming hummed, then suddenly said, "I'm envious."
"Huh? Who am I envious of?" Cheng Sizhou's scalp was a little tingling. Senior Brother Bingkuai had been with him for six years. He couldn't possibly be secretly in love with him, right? Although he was cute, but... No way? No way?
"I envy you for being able to express your affection openly."
After finishing packing up, Yu Ming took off his gloves and white coat, put the water cup into his backpack, and turned off the air conditioner in the restoration room.
Cheng Sizhou couldn't make any sense of what she said, so he quickly followed her. "No, who do you like? Yangyang has been trying so hard for so long, and you don't accept it because you have someone else in your heart?"
Yu Ming ignored him.
"If you have someone in your heart, just say it out loud! What's the point of making a girl wait for two years in vain?"
Yu Ming still ignored him.
"Yu Ming!!"
The two of them walked out of the corner door one after the other and walked to the small restaurant where they often had dinner together.
"You have to make your words clear today! I'm telling you, Yangyang is a really good girl. She works diligently and hard, and she deserves someone who treats her wholeheartedly... If you don't like her, just say it clearly. It's better to let her give up than to keep her hanging."
"No need to explain clearly, she has already..." Yu Ming hesitated to speak.
Cheng Sizhou suddenly remembered something, opened his phone, and looked through Xu Yang's circle of friends.
He was busy taking care of Zichuan these days and didn't notice that Yangyang had started chatting with the blind date arranged by his family. They were from the same hometown and agreed to meet during the Chinese New Year. It seemed like they were going to get engaged if they got along well.
Yu Ming still had an icy face, without much expression, only his deformed nails exposed his helplessness and anxiety.
Cheng Sizhou was puzzled: "After all this time, you like her?"
