Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Who is behind this
Jiang Xi insisted, "I'm fine. I ran away when he was about to catch me. The injuries on my body are from running away. Don't worry."
How could Qi Yu'an not be worried? He looked at the injuries on Jiang Xi's body and felt regretful. Why didn't he come to find Jiang Xi earlier? If he had gone to the county earlier, this wouldn't have happened to Jiang Xi.
Qi Yu'an's eyelashes drooped. He didn't dare to think about how Jiang Xi had gone through all this alone. Qi Yu'an wanted to speak to comfort her, but found that his throat was extremely dry and he couldn't speak for a while.
Qi Yuan took a long time to calm down before saying, "Are you really okay? But you are shaking."
Jiang Xi only then realized that her whole body was shaking unconsciously. She was so busy escaping that she didn't even notice it.
Jiang Xi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Qi Yu'an sighed and took off his coat and put it on Jiang Xi.
The familiar smell of soap gradually calmed Jiang Xi down. Qi Yu stared at Jiang Xi quietly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that she was no longer shaking.
Jiang Xi asked, "Why are you here?"
Qi Yu'an replied, "I went to your house to deliver something to you, but my aunt told me you weren't home yet, so I came to look for you on the way back to the village."
"What are you getting me?"
"The book I mentioned to you last time should be useful to you when you want to expand your business in the future."
Jiang Xi was surprised that Qi Yu'an still remembered: "Thank you." Qi Yu'an shook his head.
The two men exchanged a few words, and Jiang Xi recovered and walked to the place where the wretched man had fainted.
The wretched man had been knocked unconscious and was lying on the ground unconscious. Jiang Xi kicked him hard.
The man groaned and gradually regained consciousness. Qi Yu'an grabbed the man's hair and forced him to look up. "Do you know him?"
Jiang Xi carefully distinguished it, and after a while she shook her head: "I don't know it."
Qi Yu'an stared coldly at the wretched man, his tone devoid of warmth: "Tell me, who are you, and why are you here today?"
The wretched man regained consciousness and saw the situation clearly. He chuckled, "Little white face, what you're asking is nonsense. Of course I'm here because I want to spend the night with this little girl."
The wretched man was caught and still had dirty words in his mouth. Qi Yu'an punched him directly with great force without leaving any room for him to fight back. The wretched man was beaten to the point of vomiting blood.
"Who are you? Who sent you here?"
The wretched man whined, "You don't need to know who I am." He rolled his eyes and said, "Are you hitting me because you're also this girl's lover? Pretty boy, some sports are more fun when played with a few people. Why don't you try it?"
The wretched man was swearing, and Qi Yu'an slapped him again, and the wretched man fainted instantly.
Qi Yu'an's first reaction was that he looked like Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi looked even thinner and smaller wrapped in his coat, and because of his fair skin, the scratch on his face was more obvious.
Qi Yu'an didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings. He really wanted to hug Jiang Xi, but his reason told him that he couldn't do that. He couldn't take advantage of someone in distress.
Jiang Xi stared at the wretched man and said, "This man must have been instructed by someone. He followed me all the way today. He seemed to know when I would return to the village. Or maybe he had been following me the entire time and waited for me to return to the village alone, and then he took the opportunity to show up."
Qi Yu'an frowned: "This shouldn't be a coincidence, it must have been planned for a long time. Jiang Xi, have you offended someone?"
Jiang Xi smiled bitterly. She had offended too many people, including Li Wenbin from the Youth League Institute and Jiang Haibo's family. Any of these people might find someone to hurt her.
Qi Yu'an's face darkened. He had always been an upright person. Even though his family had some power, he would never do anything to bully others.
But now he looked at the wretched man without any emotion, with anger rising in his heart, and he wanted to tear him into pieces.
Just as Qi Yu'an's thoughts were swirling, he heard Jiang Xi's calm voice: "Let's report it to the police and ask them to help us investigate. Everything that's done leaves traces. I believe the truth will come out."
Qi Yu'an was a little surprised: "If we report this to the police, everyone will know what happened today. Of course I know you are innocent, but those people might gossip about you."
Qi Yu'an himself is not a pedantic person, he is just afraid that Jiang Xi will be hurt again.
Jiang Xi's eyes were bright and his voice was firm: "I'm not afraid. It was his fault. People who make mistakes should beg for mercy and repent and cry bitterly. I am the victim. I have the right to find out the truth. I will make sure those who hurt others are punished!"
Qi Yu'an looked at Jiang Xi deeply, then nodded heavily: "Jiang Xi, you are always so brave, it's me who is a little timid. Let's report to the police!"
Qi Yu'an and Jiang Xi sent the obscene man to the Public Security Bureau, where Jiang Xi was received by a female police officer.
Hearing about Jiang Xi's experience, the female police officer was filled with righteous indignation: "These people are so dirty! Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this!"
Jiang Xi calmly analyzed: "This incident couldn't have happened by chance. I suspect someone is behind it."
The female police officer asked, "Why are you so suspicious?"
Jiang Xi told the female police officer what had happened during this period: "This is the specific situation. Everyone I just mentioned had a motive."
After hearing what Jiang Xi said, the female police officer fell silent. What kind of environment did this girl live in? Why was she surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards?
Jiang Xi's calm response had already made the female police officer look at her with admiration. Now, after hearing about Jiang Xi's experience, the female police officer couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
Jiang Xi seemed not to notice the sympathy in the female police officer's eyes. She politely thanked her and said, "Comrade Police Officer, if you have any clues, please let me know immediately."
The female police officer nodded at Jiang Xi, then looked at Qi Yu'an who had been silent. This man was quite good-looking and took good care of the girl.
She saw it clearly just now. When the little girl was talking about those things, the man's eyes were full of heartache. The female police officer was sincerely happy for Jiang Xi. Fortunately, the little girl was not surrounded by all bad guys, and there were people who were sincere to her.
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Jiang Xi realized that Qi Yu'an's clothes were still on her body. She wanted to take them off and return them to Qi Yu'an, but Qi Yu'an shook his head: "You wear them, I'm not cold."
Jiang Xi had no choice but to continue wearing it, intending to wash the clothes and return them to Qi Yu'an.
Qi Yu'an's eyes were filled with emotion, but his words were gentle: "Don't go back alone so late in the future."
Jiang Xi said: "I was delayed today because of something unexpected. I didn't expect something like this to happen."
Qi Yu'an said in a low voice: "I'm sorry."
Jiang Xi was puzzled: "Why are you saying sorry to me?"
Qi Yu'an forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry I didn't come to you in time and put you in danger."
Jiang Xi shook his head: "It's none of your business. You've been very good to me. As a friend, you've done so much for me. I don't know how to repay you."
Qi Yu'an's eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes: "I don't need you to repay me. I did all this voluntarily, and what I did is not enough. I am not good."
Jiang Xi was extremely surprised. Today's Qi Yu'an was completely different from the previous Qi Yu'an. The previous Qi Yu'an always seemed to have a halo around him. He was bright, relaxed, unrestrained, and brilliant.
But tonight, Qi Yu'an looked a little depressed and dejected, and his whole body was gray. Jiang Xi felt that Qi Yu'an like this made her heart palpitate, and she couldn't bear to see Qi Yu'an like this.
Jiang Xi was suddenly at a loss, and said dryly, "I'm fine, really."
Qi Yu'an still kept her head down, so Jiang Xi could only change the subject. She pulled up a bunch of her hair and looked at her clothes. They were dirty and her trouser legs were worn out.
She said with some annoyance, "If my mom saw this, she would definitely ask a lot of questions. I'm afraid she'd worry."
Qi Yu'an knew that Jiang Xi was deliberately changing the subject in order to make him feel better. Because of this realization, Qi Yu'an felt even more depressed.
He spoke, his voice hoarse: "You always worry about others and rarely think about yourself. Were you scared just now?"
Jiang Xi was stunned. Of course she was scared. Thinking of what had just happened, Jiang Xi gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying. She was also a human being, of course she would be scared. She didn't dare to recall the scene just now. If she was a step slower, she didn't know what would happen.
These thoughts flashed through Jiang Xi's mind. Facing Qi Yu'an, she still shook her head: "I'm fine, really, I'm um, really fine."
There was something in Qi Yu'an's eyes that Jiang Xi couldn't understand. Jiang Xi then realized that the blood had drained from Qi Yu'an's face, as if he had experienced something terrible.
Jiang Xi lowered his head and his voice: "I'm not afraid, really."
Jiang Xi heard a sigh from above her head, and then she was slowly hugged. It was a very light hug, and the person hugging her was very gentle, as if she was a precious baby.
Qi Yu'an's voice came from above: "Comrade Jiang Xi, sometimes I admire your bravery very much, but sometimes I get a little angry because of your bravery. Are you really not afraid?"
Jiang Xi felt dizzy. Qi Yu'an's hug was very short and they separated in an instant, but the feeling still lingered in his heart. Jiang Xi raised his head and looked into Qi Yu'an's eyes.
Qi Yu'an has beautiful eyes with shallow double eyelids. When these eyes look at someone, they are filled with emotions, making people unconsciously indulge and start fantasizing.
Qi Yu'an remained silent. Jiang Xi knew that Qi Yu'an was waiting for her answer.
Jiang Xi took a moment to calm down before saying, "I was a little scared just now. Well, a little more. I was actually very scared just now."
After saying this, Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, as if honestly admitting that he was afraid was not a difficult thing, especially since the target was Qi Yu'an.
