32. Take off your pants
Because of a sudden appointment with Yu Chun to pick someone up at 6 pm, Chu Xiao decided to leave early in the afternoon.
That's right, big bosses can be this carefree.
But before leaving early, Chu Xiao had one more interview to do.
"Hello, you recently assisted the police in solving the A City 8.13 serial dismemberment case. We would like to conduct an exclusive interview with you."
"Ms. Jian, could you describe the specific circumstances of when the suspect was discovered that night?"
Several photographers surrounded Chu Xiao, carrying heavy equipment and snapping away at her, but Chu Xiao wasn't nervous at all.
She sat upright in her leather office chair, took a sip of tea, and her thoughts drifted back to that night.
It was an ordinary night. I worked late as usual and was walking alone on the deserted street after get off work. As I walked, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind me. I turned around curiously—
As Chu Xiao described the situation, the reporter felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but touch the goosebumps that had suddenly appeared on her arm.
Chu Xiao carefully observed the reporter's situation when asking the question.
Upon seeing the thinly dressed and slender female reporter, she used the remote control to adjust the indoor air conditioning temperature from 20 degrees to 28 degrees.
The beautiful reporter suddenly realized that the cold wind behind her was from the air conditioner.
Chu Xiao continued answering.
"I saw the reflection of his blade in the moonlight."
"He suddenly took off running. I didn't think much at the time and just chased after him."
Reporter: "How did you come up with the idea of using a brick to fight back? Was it because bricks are very lethal, or because they are ergonomic?"
Chu Xiao replied without hesitation: "At the time, all I had was a brick; I had no other choice."
The reporter asked curiously, "The surveillance footage shows that the suspect was accurately struck in the back of the head by your brick, and immediately lost consciousness. Even the police praised your brick-throwing trajectory as 'comparable to that of a professional athlete.' So how did you develop such accuracy?"
Chu Xiao recalled her childhood: "I have to thank my hometown community for promoting the 'National Self-Defense Movement'."
“When I was a teenager, our community held a ‘Brick Throwing Friendship Competition’ every year. The champion’s prize was a gold brick with the words ‘Winning People Over with Virtue’ printed on it. I participated in the competition from the age of 12 until I left my hometown at the age of 18. I won the ‘Brick Throwing Friendship Competition’ for six consecutive years and won six gold bricks.”
The reporter asked in astonishment, "Have you considered opening a 'counter-attack training course'? Can I sign up now and enjoy a 'brick-wielding guaranteed learning' package?"
Chu Xiao shook his head: "Actually, I don't recommend ordinary people learn this. It requires special talent. In previous brick-throwing competitions, many team members practiced hard for months. The holes in the load-bearing walls of their homes were so numerous that they could supply honeycomb briquettes."
The reporter nodded: "You're right, not everyone can become a 'brick-wielding warrior'."
"So, what are your thoughts on women's safety?"
Chu Xiao thought for a moment: "Eat more meat, eggs and dairy products to improve your physical fitness. Whether you encounter a disaster or a criminal, you need a strong physique to save yourself."
"Stay calm when in danger. Then," Chu Xiao advised very seriously, "the thirty-sixth stratagem in the famous military treatise *The Thirty-Six Stratagems* is 'Retreat is the best policy,' and the first lesson in self-defense is always 'Running away is not shameful.' I was lucky this time, but when you encounter danger—"
Please remember: Your safety is more important than anything else!
After the interview, Chu Xiao left quietly.
Watching the tall, backlit figure disappear into the distance, the beautiful reporter clutched her chest, her face full of admiration for Chu Xiao: "I heard that this company belongs to Ms. Jian. She can navigate the business world with both literary and martial prowess, and she can bravely capture villains. Ms. Jian is truly a role model for modern women!"
The photographer was also impressed, but he felt that Chu Xiao looked somewhat familiar.
He asked with a hint of doubt, "Has this Ms. Jian been in the news recently? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."
The reporter, head down, packed up her notebook and recorder: "No, I don't think so. A woman as outstanding and distinctive as her wouldn't be unknown if she were on the news."
The photographer scratched his head.
He still felt that the silhouette and the back view looked very familiar.
Where exactly have I seen this before?
...
Chu Xiao had arranged to meet Yu Chun at 6 PM, but she arrived at Yu Chun's ward 4:30 PM ahead of time.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Yu Chunzheng taking off his hospital gown with his back to the door.
The boy's taut back resembled a bowstring poised to be released, its smooth lines disappearing into his slender waist. Beneath his seemingly thin frame lay a layer of skin, his fair complexion gleaming like pearls in the light.
Chu Xiao stared intently, unconsciously licking her lips.
I didn't expect to receive such a big surprise when I arrived an hour and a half early!
It was worth sacrificing her lunch break; she quickly ate a few bites of food before rushing to finish her work.
With a "click," Chu Xiao closed the ward door and casually pulled the screen next to her to the doorway.
Hearing the noise at the door, Yu Chun assumed that Assistant Zhou had returned after completing the discharge procedures. Without even looking up, he put on his shirt and said, "Come help me take off my pants."
Chu Xiao raised an eyebrow, walked to the bedside, put his left arm around Yu Chun's slender waist and lifted her up, and with his right hand pulled down Yu Chun's hospital pants.
"..."
Assistant Zhou's way of helping is so lacking in boundaries...
Yu Chun sensed that something was amiss.
He looked up, his pupils dilating in shock—
The person who helped was actually Chu Xiao!!!
