Chapter 29 She got into trouble, and you'll all be buried with her...
Chapter 29
Upon hearing this, Meng Yingying was stunned for a moment. "What?"
"I am not Qi Xiaoer, my name is Qi Donghan."
"Qi in Qilian Mountain, Dong in Dongfanghong, and Han in 'Hanfei' (fierce bandit)."
He explained things very clearly, giving each example individually, which made it difficult for Meng Yingying to ignore him.
Meng Yingying was completely stunned. "You're not Qi Xiaoer?"
"Then why did you impersonate Qi Xiaoer and break off our engagement?"
She always mistook Qi Donghan for Qi Xiaoer.
She also wondered why "Qi Xiaoer" would choose her over his biological mother.
They will send her the annulment compensation again and again.
It turns out that he wasn't Qi Xiaoer at all.
This explains everything.
Faced with Meng Yingying's questioning, Qi Donghan lowered his head, like a big dog that had done something wrong, and said, "I'm sorry."
The admission was made readily.
He initially went to annul the engagement on behalf of Qi Changming, but after meeting Meng Yingying, he realized that every aspect of her was exactly what he wanted to be with her.
In addition, Meng Yingying mistook him for someone else.
He had his own selfish motives; he wanted to find an excuse to get to know her better. But when he was put in a difficult position, he became even more unable to speak.
This is what led to the current situation.
Meng Yingying was a little angry, her cheeks flushed, "I don't like to be friends with people who have deceived me."
Qi Donghan lowered his eyes and eyebrows. His eyelashes were long and covered his eyelids. With his head down, his thick eyebrows pressed down on his eyes, his eyes were long and narrow, his nose was high and straight, his lips were thin, and his jawline was smooth.
This face is so beautiful it's almost like a model's face.
Even Meng Yingying was momentarily dazed when she saw Qi Donghan bowing his head and admitting his mistake. She had to admit that she was stunned by his face.
She was also momentarily dazed.
But being handsome is one thing, making mistakes is another.
"You are very good to me."
Meng Yingying said softly, "But you also deceived me, Qi Donghan. Let's call it even."
"But I won't consider you a friend anymore."
After saying this, she turned and left. Qi Donghan reached out to grab her, but he grabbed nothing.
He only managed to touch the hem of Meng Yingying's clothes before watching her leave.
Left alone, Qi Donghan stood there, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on him, making even his silhouette seem more lonely.
"sorry."
He watched the departing figure and murmured to himself.
At first, after she admitted her mistake, he didn't explain, and later he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to explain.
Meng Yingying was unaware that she had already left, and Qi Donghan was still apologizing to her.
However, it doesn't matter if I know. A mistake is a mistake, and it can't be accepted by an apology.
If apologies were effective, there would be no need to go to the police.
but--
Meng Yingying had already followed Officer Xu up to the cultural troupe's dormitory building when she saw Qi Donghan still standing downstairs. She couldn't help but wonder if she had gone too far.
After all, Qi Donghan did help her quite a lot from beginning to end.
It was because she mistook someone for someone else, not because Qi Donghan intentionally wanted to deceive her.
"Comrade Meng, this is it." Officer Xu unlocked the door with his key, the wooden door creaking. "You'll be staying in this room tonight. Where's your luggage?"
Meng Yingying then remembered, and slapped her forehead, "My luggage is still at the guesthouse."
Do you want me to get it for you?
Meng Yingying thought to herself, "That won't do." She shook her head and said, "Never mind, I'll go get it myself in a bit."
"Yes, if you need any help, just let me know." Officer Xu glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. I'm going out to book train tickets to Xiangxi. If all goes well, we might have to leave tomorrow."
"You can rest in the cultural troupe's dormitory tonight. See you tomorrow."
Meng Yingying nodded and watched Officer Xu leave. Then she turned around.
Ye Yingtao and Lin Qiu from the dormitory stared at her with eyes as wide as lanterns. Lin Qiu was even more amusing, asking expectantly, "Can I shake your hand?"
Meng Yingying smiled, her dimples appearing and disappearing, "Of course."
She offered her hand.
Lin Qiu excitedly put his hands on his pants and wiped them again and again, saying, "My hands are clean, I washed them after going to the toilet."
"You were so professional and beautiful when you danced in the dance studio before."
"At that time, I wanted to shake your hand, but unfortunately, you were surrounded by high-ranking leaders, and I couldn't squeeze up at all."
Meng Yingying was charmed by Lin Qiu's cuteness. She squeezed her hand and then let go, saying, "It's okay even if you didn't wash your hands after using the toilet."
"Because girls smell nice."
As soon as she entered the dormitory, she smelled a faint fragrance, a scent unique to girls' dormitories.
The neatly arranged bedding, the tidy table, and the wardrobe all clearly indicate that the occupant is a woman.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiu's face immediately turned as red as a monkey's bottom. "Cherry, she praised me for smelling good."
Clenching her little fists and stomping her feet.
She looked just like a little fangirl.
Ye Yingtao said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I know she praised you for smelling good. You smell the best."
Meng Yingying looked up.
Ye Yingtao also looked at her.
Their eyes met, Ye Yingtao coughed lightly, and extended her hand. "Let me introduce myself, Ye Yingtao, a member of the 16th grade of the cultural troupe."
"By the way, it's your former rival in love."
Meng Yingying, “?”
Her pretty face was full of question marks.
Ye Yingtao smiled and went straight to the point, "Your childhood sweetheart contacted me yesterday evening and asked me to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him this morning to get our marriage certificate."
Meng Yingying, “???”
Meow meow meow!
What shocking gossip has she heard?
Meng Yingying was completely stunned. "Who?"
"Your childhood sweetheart, that scoundrel surnamed Qi."
Ye Yingtao gritted her teeth, "On one hand, they were trying to destroy you, and on the other hand, their whole family was scheming against me, making me rush to marry him."
"Pah, a whole family of disgusting scum, what do they take me for?"
Meng Yingying swallowed hard. "You didn't go and get your marriage certificate with him, did you?"
That's the first thing she cares about, not whether her rival is doing well.
For Meng Yingying, Ye Yingtao was not a rival in love at all.
She and Qi Xiaoer were only betrothed as children, but both sides broke off the engagement. In a sense, since neither of them was married, it wouldn't have been a problem for Qi Xiaoer to marry Ye Yingtao.
Ye Yingtao shook her head and tossed her hair, "No."
"I'm not that stupid. I discussed it with Lin Qiu last night, and we both agreed that we should meet with you first, see your reaction, and then decide whether to reject the guy surnamed Qi."
"After I saw you this morning, you know what happened next."
Ye Yingtao said, "Your elders have a relationship, yet the Qi family can still try to kill you. What about someone like me from another province with no connections? If I marry into that family, won't I be at odds with Chen Xiulan's mother-in-law?"
She won the fight, but she's in trouble.
She was even more unlucky after losing the fight.
After hearing this, Meng Yingying felt somewhat relieved, "It's a good thing you didn't jump into the fire pit."
"Qi Xiaoer's mother only looks up to the daughters of high-ranking officials; she looks down on ordinary people like us."
Ye Yingtao was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You're right."
“I said, why is she so unfriendly to me every time I go to her house? It seems like she looks down on my family background and thinks I can't help the Qi family.”
"If I had known it would turn out like this, why would I have even bothered to pay extra?"
Ye Yingtao wanted to slap herself, "You big idiot!"
She thought herself shrewd and had these men under her thumb, but in the end, there was always someone better.
Meng Yingying smiled but didn't say anything; after all, she wasn't familiar with Ye Yingtao.
Is this my bed?
"Both of these beds are empty; you can choose one."
Seeing Ye Yingtao's annoyance, Lin Qiu quickly offered, "Where are your bedding? Let me make your bed for you. I make a really nice bed, not a single wrinkle."
Meng Yingying was somewhat amused and exasperated. "No need, I can make the bed myself."
She was a little embarrassed. "My luggage is still at the guesthouse where the team is stationed. I need to go to the guesthouse to get my luggage first."
Lin Qiu volunteered, "I'll go with you."
It's clear that Meng Yingying's dance during her audition completely won over Lin Qiu.
Meng Yingying shook her head, "No need, I can go by myself."
"Anyway, I don't have much luggage."
Lin Qiu wanted to say something more, but Ye Yingtao said, "I'll go with you."
He saw that Meng Yingying was about to refuse.
Ye Yingtao gave a reason: "If I'm not mistaken, the Qi family will most likely be waiting for you outside the garrison. In that case, if I'm with you, we'll definitely run into them."
She squatted down and took out a brick from under the bed that she used to prop up the bed leg.
"That guy surnamed Qi still owes me a brick."
Meng Yingying, "..."
Meng Yingying remained silent for a long time before saying, "Then be careful."
Ye Yingtao hummed in agreement, raising her chin, "I'm experienced in hitting people. I hit them and run, and I'll make sure they don't catch me."
Since things had come to this point, Meng Yingying naturally couldn't refuse, since the chivalrous Ye Yingtao was going out to take revenge.
She could only let Ye Yingtao accompany her when she went out.
When Meng Yingying came downstairs, Qi Donghan was still standing downstairs, like a statue, his posture unchanged from beginning to end.
As soon as she came out, Meng Yingying was certain that Qi Donghan's eyes lit up for a moment. However, it disappeared in an instant, so quickly that Meng Yingying seemed to wonder if it was just her imagination.
Meng Yingying didn't say anything, but quickly walked past Qi Donghan, who watched her leave.
He suddenly called out, "Meng Yingying."
Meng Yingying quickened her pace, showing no intention of stopping.
Ye Yingtao figured something out. She glanced back at Qi Donghan, then at Meng Yingying, wanting to ask, but now was not the time to ask.
She was so anxious!
I really want to know why those two were arguing.
He held back all the way, but didn't get a chance to ask. They were about to leave the garrison, and Commander Qi was still following behind.
Ye Yingtao's eyes darted around, she was practically about to fly away.
"Commander Qi, I'm just accompanying Yingying to the guesthouse to get her luggage. What are you doing following us?"
He couldn't help but make a joke.
Qi Donghan pursed his lips and didn't speak. He looked at Meng Yingying, but she ignored him and didn't meet his gaze.
This made Qi Donghan lower his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing his emotions. After a while, he looked at Meng Yingying and said, "I want to tell you that the Qi family is waiting outside."
It's that simple.
However, Meng Yingying avoided him like the plague.
Meng Yingying looked up and glanced at him quickly. "Thank you."
And that was it.
The situation suddenly became deadlocked.
Even Ye Yingtao, an outsider, felt awkward, so she tried to smooth things over, saying, "Yingying is right. We really should thank Commander Qi. You're definitely safer with us. The Qi family is really despicable."
Then, before Meng Yingying could refuse, she took Meng Yingying's hand and acted as a mediator, "Yingying, don't be angry with Commander Qi. How about we punish him by making him our bodyguard?"
It's obvious to everyone that Meng Yingying and Qi Donghan have had a falling out.
It even sounded like they were arguing.
This is really serious.
Qi Donghan, such a cold person, actually got into an argument? And it was with a girl, no less.
Faced with Ye Yingtao's attempt to smooth things over, Meng Yingying pursed her lips and remained silent, unsure of what to say.
She had never encountered this situation before.
She didn't speak or respond.
Guessing that she didn't like him following her, Qi Donghan stared at her for a long time, and even after Meng Yingying had left, he didn't follow.
Just standing still.
Seeing this, Ye Yingtao couldn't help but exclaim to Meng Yingying, "Yingying, you're so stubborn! We're all alone and outnumbered. It would be so much better if Commander Qi had more resources."
"Just his tall and imposing figure is intimidating enough on its own."
Meng Yingying didn't turn around. She bit her lip and said, "Who cares about him?"
"Don't you have a brick?"
"I'll go pick up a brick later," she muttered to herself. "Besides, we're right between the garrison and the guesthouse. If we find anything wrong, we'll ask the guards at the garrison for help."
Ye Yingtao sighed, thinking to herself, how can they, with their small stature, compare to the Qi family?
But seeing that the young couple were both angry, she stopped talking.
They walked out of the cultural troupe's dormitory building and onto the garrison.
As soon as Meng Yingying came out, she separated from Ye Yingtao and greeted the guard, "Comrade, if Comrade Ye and I are bullied by the Qi family later, please remember to help us."
The guard, aware of the commotion outside, nodded.
After Meng Yingying finished speaking, she went to find Ye Yingtao, but she didn't expect Ye Yingtao to run so fast, carrying a brick in her hand, and walk towards Qi Changming who was waiting outside.
Even someone with high emotional intelligence like Ye Yingtao would get so angry at Qi Changming that she would throw a brick at him.
"Trash, you even tricked me into getting a marriage certificate with you. With the Qi family like this, tormenting people and threatening to kill them at the drop of a hat, Qi Changming, I treated you as a friend, and you're pushing me into a fire pit."
Qi Changming needed to explain.
Ye Yingtao wouldn't listen. She would get furious if she saw the person in question and would throw a brick at his head. Qi Changming initially tried to give in to her and avoid her, saying, "I'm sorry, Comrade Ye, I couldn't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. I apologize."
"But now I have something more important to do. Please help me find Meng Yingying."
"I need to get Meng Yingying to issue a letter of forgiveness."
Meng Yingying refused to issue a letter of forgiveness, and her mother was not released from the police station.
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yingtao exploded, grabbing a brick and mercilessly smashing it at him. "You trash, you still want to ask Meng Yingying for a letter of forgiveness? Your mother almost killed Meng Yingying, and now you're coming to find her? How dare you?"
Qi Changming didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, even reaching the garrison.
"Also, didn't you prevent Meng Yingying from participating in the cultural troupe's assessment? Sorry, Meng Yingying passed the exam and is now a full-fledged member of the cultural troupe."
"Qi Changming, you still look down on Meng Yingying? It's good enough that Meng Yingying doesn't look down on you."
Qi Changming was stunned by the series of news. He paused for a moment, then asked, "What did you say?"
Meng Yingying got accepted into the performing arts troupe!?
Is this a joke?
Ye Yingtao is shrewd and calculating, a true Sichuan girl with a fiery personality. Taking advantage of Qi Changming's momentary lapse in attention, she smashed a brick on his head and shouted, "Tell me your mother is trash!"
"I'm telling you, you're trash!"
"I'm saying your whole family is trash!"
With that brick, Qi Changming slumped to the side.
Ye Yingtao was initially frightened, then sat on the ground and started crying, preemptively saying, "Everyone, please be the judge! Qi Changming has a childhood sweetheart, and he even asked me to go with him to get our marriage certificate this morning."
"Everyone, come and take a look!"
Meng Yingying had just finished speaking with Guard Wang when she was surprised to find that Ye Yingtao was incredibly powerful, taking down Qi Changming in the blink of an eye.
To be honest, Qi Changming was quite skilled, but he couldn't resist Ye Yingtao's distraction.
This gave Ye Yingtao an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"cherry?"
Meng Yingying came over, and Ye Yingtao frantically winked at her, "Run!"
"Go quickly to the guesthouse where the troops are stationed and get your things."
She was creating an opportunity for Meng Yingying.
Qi Changcheng is tied up with the Public Security Bureau, and Qi Changming has been taken down by her. So the guesthouse is safe now, and it's the best time for Meng Yingying to go there.
Meng Yingying paused for a moment, then quickly whispered, "Thank you."
"Wait for me, I'll be right back."
The guesthouse was very close to the garrison, only a few hundred meters away. After saying this, she ran quickly to the guesthouse. When she arrived, Officer Qin was still there. Seeing her, he immediately understood, "Here to get your luggage?"
"yes."
Xiao Qin, the clerk, opened the door for her with the key. "Hurry up and go upstairs. The Qi family is blocking your way here today."
Meng Yingying paused, "Are there other members of the Qi family?"
"Isn't Qi Changcheng at the police station?"
She entered the room and began packing her luggage, though she didn't have much to begin with. Xiao Qin, the clerk, kept watch for her, saying, "They say Chen Xiulan has run into a crackdown. Harbin is already trying to maintain a good appearance, and she's just gotten herself into trouble. Not only is she bullying outsiders as a local, but she's also threatened to kill someone."
“This sets an example. I estimate that Chen Xiuying won’t be able to get out anytime soon. If Qi Changcheng realizes this, he will find out about this very quickly. And for Chen Xiulan to get out, she must obtain a letter of understanding from the person involved.”
"When he realizes that he needs a letter of understanding from you to get Chen Xiulan out, he will come looking for you."
"Comrade Meng."
Xiao Qin, the clerk, spoke very quickly, "I don't know if you passed the exam for the performing arts troupe or not. You'll definitely need to find someone to protect you in this matter."
“Otherwise, if Chen Xiulan is arrested and the Qi family goes crazy, and you are still staying outside, it will be like giving the Qi family a chance to find you.”
"Being entangled with this kind of person is like getting covered in shit; it smells bad whether you wash it or not."
After packing her things, Meng Yingying calmed down completely and began to consider the feasibility of the matter.
Even though she and the Qi family broke off the engagement, they didn't push things to the brink.
The one who truly reached a dead end was Chen Xiulan, who was about to ruin her chance to audition for the performing arts troupe.
In retaliation, she personally took Chen Xiulan to the police station.
As a result, her childhood betrothal to the Qi family and the relationship between her and her elders completely fell apart.
When she met the Qi family again, they were enemies.
After thinking it through, Meng Yingying made a plan. She took a deep breath and bowed to Xiao Qin, "Comrade Xiao Qin, thank you."
Officer Qin shook her head. "I'm just passing on a message. My older brother told me to tell you that you'd better stay hidden these next few days. If..." She paused, "...if you can stay in the station and not come out, the Qi family won't be able to do anything to you."
Meng Yingying gripped the luggage strap tightly, her knuckles turning white. "I know."
"If all else fails, I suggest you go see Commander Qi." Officer Qin, seeing her expression, knew she was quite frightened, so he reassured her, "The Qi family wouldn't dare to really do anything reckless. If it really comes to that, go see Commander Qi."
"The Qi family is influential in Harbin, but I noticed that Commander Qi, who helped you with your registration last time, also has considerable influence."
Officer Qin lowered his voice a few decibels, "We all say in private that Commander Qi is going to take over from the top leader in the future."
“Under these circumstances, if Commander Qi can spread the word that you are under her protection, even if the Qi family hates you to the core, they will not dare to lay a hand on you in the future.”
This was truly heartfelt advice, and it was also an attempt to find a way out for Meng Yingying.
Meng Yingying's face was somewhat pale, and her smile was bitter. "I'm not familiar with Commander Qi."
She had just finished arguing with Commander Qi and left him downstairs at the dormitory, not even letting him follow her.
Xiao Qin, the clerk, seemed to think, "You're just kidding me."
"No way, you two aren't that close. Would Commander Qi really bring you food three times in a row?"
"Comrade Meng, our guesthouse has a canteen, but the food isn't very good. As far as I know, you won't go hungry if you really eat there. So why did Commander Qi send you a meal separately?"
"And you didn't know that, did you?"
"When Commander Qi came to pick you up this morning, he was carrying a big meat bun and an egg in his arms."
Seeing Meng Yingying's surprise, Xiao Qin, the clerk, spoke frankly, "To be honest, ordinary people simply can't buy things like large meat buns made with fermented soybean flour and eggs. Putting aside whether they have money or not, the ticket alone is enough to stop people from buying them. Even Commander Qi and his men themselves only have a limited supply of eggs and meat buns each month."
"He probably gave you his share of the supply."
“In this situation, no one will believe you if you say you're not familiar with them.”
"Comrade Meng, if I were you, even if we weren't familiar with each other, I would still use your strength against you."
Meng Yingying paused for a moment, her mind a jumble of thoughts as she picked up her luggage. "I'll think about it carefully."
"Thank you, Officer Qin."
Xiao Qin shook his head, yawned, and said, "I'll see you downstairs. After I've seen you leave, I'll go back to rest too."
She worked the night shift yesterday, and if it weren't for Meng Yingying's matter, she would have gone home to sleep long ago.
Meng Yingying hummed in agreement, and Xiao Qin, the clerk, helped carry the luggage. However, just as Xiao Qin had predicted, Qi Changcheng's fate was sealed.
He came to his senses.
Meng Yingying was waiting for him at the entrance of the guesthouse.
These two brothers are really something, one blocking the entrance to the garrison, and the other blocking the entrance to the guesthouse.
Judging from their attitude, they were determined to get Meng Yingying to issue a letter of forgiveness, otherwise they wouldn't let her off the hook.
Just as Xiao Qin had predicted.
Qi Changcheng stared at Meng Yingying, who was being escorted out by Xiao Qin, and smiled coldly, "You are Meng Yingying?"
He had never met Meng Yingying.
But as far as he knew, Meng Yingying was the kind of dark-skinned, fat woman weighing 300 pounds. He didn't really understand whether the fair-skinned, slender, well-behaved, and beautiful woman in front of him was really Meng Yingying.
Meng Yingying turned around without changing her expression and asked Xiao Qin, the clerk, "Who is Meng Yingying?"
Xiao Qin was stunned for a moment before realizing what Meng Yingying meant. "It's about the victim from this morning. You wouldn't know if you weren't here. This morning, he was going to kill someone named Meng Yingying."
Seeing Meng Yingying's puzzled expression.
Even Qi Changcheng began to have some doubts. Had he made a mistake?
But looking at Xiao Qin's demeanor, it doesn't seem like it.
"Say a sentence in the Xiangxi dialect for me?"
Meng Yingying smiled and said, "Comrade, I am from Shanghai."
“I’m not from western Hunan. If you want to hear me speak Shanghainese, I can speak it for you.”
"Comrade, have you made a mistake?"
It's authentic Shanghai dialect, which is hard to ignore.
This time, all of Qi Changcheng's doubts were resolved. Meng Yingying was a genuine village girl from western Hunan. She was not from the city and could not speak the Shanghai dialect.
Only then did he let Meng Yingying leave.
Then, he said to Xiao Qin, "I'll keep an eye on you. I'll guard this place. I don't believe Meng Yingying won't bring her luggage today."
"Unless she never shows up in Harbin again, you'll be just as unlucky as her."
The threat was almost obvious.
Meng Yingying had already taken two steps, but fearing that something might happen to Xiao Qin, she turned back and asked expressionlessly, "What do you want to do?"
"Kill Meng Yingying again?"
Qi Changcheng wanted to say, "What's it to you?" but seeing Meng Yingying's expression, he suddenly realized, "You're Meng Yingying?"
"You bitch, are you kidding me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yingying raised her hand and slapped him across the face. "Are you Qi family members ever going to stop?"
"I've broken off the engagement, what else do you want?"
"Ruin my assessment? Kill me and kick me out of Harbin?"
"Qi Changcheng, is it? Chen Xiulan has been arrested and is in jail. That was because she plotted against me. That was her wickedness. That was her mistake."
"What does this have to do with me, Meng Yingying?"
Qi Changcheng grabbed her hand and said viciously, "It has nothing to do with you. My mother was arrested because of you and hasn't been released yet."
“Meng Yingying, if you issue a letter of understanding now, I will spare you some humiliation for the sake of our elders.”
Meng Yingying laughed in anger, "To suffer less humiliation?"
"Then you just wait and see if I'll issue you a letter of understanding!"
People can really be driven crazy.
That stubborn look in her eyes, like that of a small animal, angered Qi Changcheng. He grabbed her hand and shoved her over, raising his hand to slap her.
Meng Yingying didn't dodge. She looked at him, her soft, clear eyes now like those of someone who had been struck by ice arrows. "Your mother said she was going to kill me. She went in. You hit me. Do you think you'll go in too?"
At this moment, she was unusually calm.
Qi Changcheng's raised hand remained suspended in mid-air, unsure whether to fall or not.
He stared at Meng Yingying with a gloomy expression, his eyes flashing with malice, and warned her, word by word, "Meng Yingying, you have guts!"
"If you've got the guts, then hide in the performing arts troupe for the rest of your life and never come out!"
After making those threats, he revealed his purpose: "You'd better be sensible and come with me to the police station now to get a letter of understanding."
After he finished speaking, he reached out to grab Meng Yingying, but she dodged him. Qi Changcheng persisted and raised his hand to grab her.
The next second, his hand was pried open.
"Do you need me to chop it off for you?"
His tone was cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
Meng Yingying was startled; even without turning around, she knew who it was.
Qi Changcheng, who was standing nearby, had no idea. He turned around and sneered, "Let's see who dares to chop off my hand, Qi Changcheng's hand."
However, when he saw that it was Qi Donghan, he was stunned. "Commander Qi?"
Commander Qi is the powerful figure they need to curry favor with.
He was also his brother's boss.
Qi Donghan ignored him completely, and walked up to Meng Yingying with a gust of wind and rain. "Are you alright?"
It is a peaceful and gentle tone.
With a hint of anxiety and concern.
Even though the two of them had a falling out and would never be friends again, they were truly alone and helpless when they were in a difficult situation.
Qi Donghan's arrival was like a lifeline.
This made Meng Yingying's eyes sting. She looked up at Qi Donghan for a moment, her eyes red, without saying a word.
But it also seems like I've said everything.
When Qi Donghan saw her like this, his heart skipped a beat, as if he were being weighed down by a heavy weight, feeling dull and uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath, and without saying a word, took off his military cap and stuffed it into Meng Yingying's hand.
Then, under Qi Changcheng's horrified gaze, he watched as the 1.9-meter-tall Qi Donghan walked towards him step by step, each step feeling as if he were about to step on his heart.
"Qi—" Tuan, the last word hadn't even finished.
Qi Donghan's fist was already clenched, and he slammed it into Qi Changcheng's nose. "Bullying people? And coming to someone's door to bully them?"
One visit in the morning is not enough.
And that's not all.
Did you think he was dead?!
Qi Dong's beatings aren't just light massages; they're real, hard-hitting. You know, he's a champion in physical fitness, especially when he's on the team.
The punch landed squarely on Qi Changcheng's face, making him see stars and bleed from his nose.
He covered his nose, his face contorted with rage, "Qi Donghan, you hit me, I'm going to sue you."
After beating him, Qi Dong took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped his hands, and tossed it aside. He said slowly, "Go ahead and report it."
I don't know if you can win the case.
He turned around, grabbed Meng Yingying, and pulled her under his wing. His hawk-like eyes were fixed on Qi Changcheng as he said, word by word, "But if anything happens to her, I will never forgive your Qi family!"
