When the police arrived, they could not tell who the victim was.

Su Yunxiu was a little frightened and was protected in Lin Qingwan’s arms. On the other hand, Chen Dong’s face was covered in wounds and he was limping. Yu Wenci did not show any mercy when he kicked him just now.

When he thought about how he had been following his girl for the past few days and how he had caused such a scene at night, Yu Wenci, who had always been calm and composed, felt that giving him a kick was too light.

“Alright, I’ve more or less understood the situation, but I’ll have to trouble everyone to come back to the station with us and make a statement.”

Lin Qingwan: “Okay, thank you, officer. Sorry to trouble you.”

“You’re welcome. This is what we should do.”

Su Yunxiu never dreamed that there would be a day in her life when she would go to the police station for tea.

Chen Dong’s eyes were still looking at her under the watch of a police officer. He had already torn off his disguise. He had wanted to take some photos after having his way with her tonight to threaten her. The young lady would definitely not make a scene to protect her reputation.

He even felt that it was a pity. Even if he were to be nabbed and brought to the police station, he would have wanted to enter after succeeding. The duck that was in his mouth had flown away just like that.

Yu Wenci sensed his gaze and quietly took a step to the side, blocking herself from his aggressive gaze. The pressure around her was terrifyingly low.

If the police hadn’t arrived in time, Yu Wenci wouldn’t have let him off so easily.

The police officer who was holding Chen Dong also noticed it and was about to protect Su Yunxiu. “What are you looking at? You look like a human, but you’re worse than a beast. To think you became a scum after nine years of compulsory education.”

“Ahem!” The police officer beside him coughed lightly and reminded him not to talk too much.

It was better to be more officious at the police station.

Lin Qingwan agreed with the police officer’s words. Her eyes were filled with admiration. “This police officer is right. He is a fish that escaped the net of nine years of compulsory education! This kind of person deserves a beating!”

Chen Dong roared, “I’m not as educated as you guys, but at least I graduated from high school!”

It was fine if they hit him, but why did they insult his intelligence?

Lin Qingwan angrily walked forward, but she was stopped by Su Yunxiu the moment she took a step. Su Yunxiu gently shook her head at her, and Lin Qingwan snorted, “You sound quite honorable.”

“Be quiet. This is the police station, not a place for you to quarrel. Be serious.”

The more experienced police officer slammed the table and the order finally settled down. He glanced at the person who started the conversation. This kid probably needed more training.

“Bring him in and interrogate him. Give this lady an explanation.”

“Yes, Sir!”

After seeing the three of them enter, he turned to Su Yunxiu and the others and said, “Please wait a while longer. I’ll definitely give you an explanation.”

Su Yunxiu nodded, his clear eyes filled with gratitude. “Thank you.”

Since he had been arrested, Chen Dong had already given up. He told them everything and the police got the cause and effect without much effort.

“This isn’t the first time this b*stard has committed a crime. He was previously detained for peeping, but I didn’t expect him to be so stubborn.”

“As for the fact that his wife is pregnant and urgently needs money to rent out his house, that’s pure nonsense. Chen Dong has been single for 35 years and doesn’t even have a girlfriend, let alone a wife.”

“The first few people who came to see the apartment were all men. Since he couldn’t do anything to them, he chose to reject the lease. The moment you appeared, he had evil thoughts. He had been observing you since you entered the neighborhood. The reason why the security guards couldn’t detect outsiders was that he still had an apartment there. This kid really doesn’t change.”

At the mention of peeping, Su Yunxiu subconsciously looked up. Then could the place where she lived also be monitored?

Although she had checked it when she lived there, she might have inadvertently missed something. The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it was.

Seeing her lingering fear, the police comforted her. “But don’t worry. Our people checked your place and didn’t find anything unusual. Don’t worry.”

Su Yunxiu’s pursed lips relaxed. “Sorry to have troubled you.”

“You’re welcome. This is what we should do.” He shifted his gaze from her to Lin Qingwan and teased her with a faint smile, “Young lady, you hit him quite hard!”

Lin Qingwan understood what he meant. At that time, she was too impulsive and didn’t think too much about it. Now, she smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry. In a society governed by law, reason prevails. I guarantee that there won’t be a next time.”

After leaving the police station, it was impossible for Su Yunxiu to return to her residence. Even if the crisis was resolved, Lin Qingwan would not give Su Yunxiu the chance to return.

On the way, they sat in the back seat of Yu Wenci’s car. Lin Qingwan was still angry. “It was really too easy on him to be beaten up. But you shouldn’t be living in that apartment anymore. It’s safer to move to another place.”

“Alright, it’s all in the past. However, I still have to think about moving to another neighborhood.”

What had finally been settled had changed again.

Lin Qingwan wanted to say that a few properties under her name were empty, but when she thought of the deal with Yu Wenci, she changed the topic. “I remember that President Yu has a few empty properties under his name. Why don’t you ask President Yu for a favor?”

The man driving silently in front looked at her through the rearview mirror, as if he was waiting for her to speak.

Su Yunxiu didn’t notice his gaze and softly said, “Forget it, there’s no need to trouble him.”

“Miss Su said that we were all friends last time, so we can’t treat each other differently. Don’t you agree?” The man had already heard her and said gently.

Su Yunxiu was stunned.

What differential treatment?

“If it was her house, would Miss Su reject it?”

Su Yunxiu fell silent.

It did make sense.

To her, Lin Qingwan was more than a friend. She was more like a family member. If Lin Qingwan had suggested it, she might have agreed. She would still pay rent in accordance with the lease.

Her silence was the answer. Yu Wenci looked ahead and slowly stepped on the brakes as he noted the red light in the distance. He said unhurriedly, “Since we’re all friends, we can’t treat each other differently.”

Lin Qingwan suspected that she had heard wrongly. She actually heard a hint of grievance.

This big shot actually had times when he felt wronged. It was really rare. It seemed that he had really fallen.

Su Yunxiu was dumbfounded.

How could he be so ridiculous?

Lin Qingwan snickered and said, “I think President Yu is right. We’re all friends. I can rest assured if you stay at President Yu’s property.”

She leaned on the young lady’s soft and fragrant shoulder and said with a smile, “It’s not like you’re freeloading or living together. Don’t be afraid. Yu Wenci is a gentleman with a reliable character. What are you worried about?”

Why did this sound so much like a sales pitch?

Under the dual attack, Su Yunxiu was not a person who would dawdle and nodded in agreement.

No one noticed that Yu Wenci’s expression was gentle the moment she agreed. A smile appeared on his face as he asked, “Since we’re friends, can we change the way we address each other?”

He was teasing her as he asked for her opinion.

“Yes?”

“I’ll call you… Xiuxiu?”
