She asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Can I have a moment of your time to talk?"

Hearing what the other party said, it seems that it is not just a few simple sentences.

Ji Ling nodded, and finally the two of them found a place to sit down in the nearest teahouse.

"I'm sorry for coming here without your permission and disturbing you." Dai Baozhi sat down and apologized again, "Qian Xiangqian didn't know I was looking for you. I followed him after I came here and found you. I hope you can forgive me."

Dai Baozhi has a gentle voice and seems to have a good temper.

He kept admitting his mistakes as soon as he opened his mouth. Even for Qian Xiangqian's sake, Ji Ling couldn't argue with the other party.

She smiled and said, "Qian Xiangqian and I have a very good relationship. We are not strangers. You don't have to be so polite. If you have anything to ask me, just come to the compound to find me. You should know where I live."

"I know, but I always thought that I would be too inconsiderate to come to your house rashly. Today, I followed Qian Xiangqian and saw you, so I had the audacity to stop you." Dai Baozhi lowered his head, "Can I call you Xiaoling?"

"Can."

"Xiaoling." Dai Baozhi raised her head. "Qian Xiangqian and I have been together for two years. My family knows about him, and so do our friends and relatives. I thought Qian Xiangqian would discuss marriage with me after I graduated and got a job, but he never mentioned it once. After I mentioned it, he said we were not suitable. If it were another girl, she would have given up long ago after hearing this. But I like him very much, and I want to try harder."

"You two have a good relationship, can you help me persuade him?"

Ji Ling refused, "I'm sorry, I really can't say much about emotional issues. In fact, I have privately advised him to get married early, but he always said to let nature take its course."

Dai Baozhi looked disappointed and said, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Ji Ling smiled.

This kind of thing is indeed very difficult.

After that, the two sat for a while and then got up and left. Ji Ling wanted to send Dai Baozhi off, but she refused.

Ji Ling didn't say much, after all, they were still strangers.

Moreover, Dai Baozhi was distant, so she couldn't get close to him even if she wanted to.

After returning home, Ji Ling didn't take this matter to heart and didn't plan to tell Qian Xiangqian about it.

Qian Xiangqian knew that Dai Baozhi would be unhappy about making the decision on her own, and Ji Ling didn't want this to affect their relationship.

But that night, just after he had put his daughter to sleep, he received a call from Zheng Shi saying that Dai Baozhi had been admitted to the hospital. It was said that he had been robbed and stabbed twice.

Ji Ling was shocked when she heard this. She immediately went downstairs and asked her mother-in-law to help take care of her daughter, and rushed to the hospital.

Zheng Shi was waiting at the hospital entrance. When he saw Ji Ling coming over, he said, "San Biao, Dai Baozhi said she was looking for you, and then something happened on the way? Did she look for you?"

Ji Ling nodded and briefly explained the situation, "How is the person now?"

"It's okay. She's already finished the surgery and has been pushed into the ward. Otherwise, how would we know that you've seen her?" Zheng Shi said seriously. "From what she said, it seems like you saw someone following her, but she didn't say anything."

Ji Ling staggered and almost fell.

"What did she say?"

Zheng Shi looked unhappy. "I scolded her on the spot and was chased out by the police. She is still making a statement now."

Ji Ling nodded, "No wonder you called me here in the middle of the night, maybe it's because of this."

"Let Qian Xiangqian deal with the problem. We have a good relationship with you, and my wife doesn't care. But Dai Baozhi looks gentle, but she is very narrow-minded. She always thinks that you and Qian Xiangqian are doing something shameful. We liked you in the beginning, and it was public knowledge. Now she cares about this. What was she doing in the beginning?"

Ji Ling glared at him and said, "Shut your mouth."

Zheng Shi chuckled, "Who hasn't done stupid things when they were young? Aren't we all grown up now?"

Ji Ling simply ignored him, for she was afraid of getting angry to death.

She strode into the hospital, and halfway through she turned back and called out to Zheng Shi, "Which ward are you in?"

Only then did Zheng Shi come running over and lead the way.

When she arrived at the ward, there was indeed a police officer questioning her inside. After hearing Ji Ling's name, he asked her to wait.

Ji Ling glanced at Dai Baozhi lying on the hospital bed indifferently, then sat down and walked in the corridor outside.

Qian Xiangqian saw the person coming and stood up.

Dai Baozhi called out to him, "Xiang Qian, I'm scared, please stay with me."

Qian Xiangqian glanced at her indifferently, then turned and left without any reluctance.

Dai Baozhi’s face turned pale.

Outside the corridor, Ji Ling was sitting on a long chair. Seeing Qian Xiangqian coming out, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"It's annoying to see her." Qian Xiangqian walked to the side and sat down, "Let her make trouble on her own."

Ji Ling raised her eyebrows. Although Qian Xiangqian didn't talk much, his few words showed that he had seen the truth of the matter clearly.

She didn't have much to say.

The three of them didn't sit outside for too long before the police came out and asked Ji Ling to talk to them again.

Of course Ji Ling had to cooperate with the investigation, and Qian Xiangqian's face became even uglier. The two of them drove to accompany Ji Ling.

On the way, Ji Ling said, "Dai Baozhi did this because she was jealous. Although we are friends, it may be because I did not keep a certain distance from you that caused the trouble. If she were in her position, she would do such an extreme thing. I can understand it, but my character prevents me from doing such a thing."

Ji Ling was not angry because of Qian Xiangqian, a person who had nothing to do with her. Seeing that Qian Xiangqian was very angry, she came over to persuade him.

Zheng Shi watched the fun without complaining, "What did I say at the time? You just didn't listen, and now you've caused trouble for San Biao, right?"

Ji Ling: "Just shut up."

Qian Xiangqian nodded seriously, "You are indeed right. I thought it was too simple."

Seeing him admit his mistake, Zheng Shi was not used to it. "Actually, it's not your fault. It's Dai Baozhi who is too scheming. It's fine if you two can't be together, but what does your relationship have to do with Xiaoling? You dragged Xiaoling into this. It's not his character. It has nothing to do with you."

"You are right."

Zheng Shi: Why does he feel like he has been fooled?

When she arrived at the police station, Ji Ling cooperated in taking a statement, but the police still suspected Ji Ling as an accomplice because Ji Ling said she did not see anyone following Dai Baozhi and they could not find any witnesses.

Ji Ling was so angry that she laughed, "It's late at night, how can I find a witness? Do I have to ask a passerby his name?"

Ji Ling didn't care about that and said she wanted to call home. "Since I'm cooperating with your investigation and evidence collection, my family will be worried if I don't go home so late. I want to call home."

Seeing that Ji Ling suddenly became tough and rude, the other party simply stopped people from making phone calls and kept asking questions.

In the end, Ji Ling simply stopped talking.
