CH 24

There was a reason why Lin Feng hid in the dark and blocked Shen Yi’s way.

“Do you know why the street lamps are broken?” Lin Feng asked him, Shen Yi didn’t want to answer, Lin Feng got used to it, knew that he was just a boring guy, often asked him ten questions, but didn’t get a single answer.

“Because, someone will attack you.” Lin Feng was not joking; his expression was serious.

Shen Yi didn’t want to pay attention to him, got on his bike and was about to leave, Lin Feng was a bit angry, grabbed the back seat, he shouted angrily: “Can’t you listen to what I’m saying? Those who value other people’s lives so much, why are you so mean to yourself?”

“Let go.” Shen Yi turned his back to him, his cold voice not carrying a trace of warmth.

Lin Feng was flustered and exasperated, he let go, but he didn’t let Shen Yi leave. Instead, he turned around and took a step, blocking his way again.

“I’ll leave after I talk to you, it won’t take too much of your time, really, I’ve never seen you in such a hurry to get home.” But for all the complaining, there was still business to be done.

Lin Feng said with a serious face: “I heard some news, Thomas sent his good brother Joseph to block you tonight.”

Shen Yi casually glanced to the left and right, and asked him: “Where is he?”

“Originally you would have been blocked, but you were lucky, I heard that Joseph was beaten up, you dodged a bullet.” Speaking of this, Lin Feng was also surprised, he didn’t expect such a coincidence?

Shen Yi didn’t care, he just wanted to go back now.

Looking at the dim light of night, Shen Yi’s figure gradually faded away, Lin Feng’s tightly locked brows could not be relaxed.

Lin Feng has been in the United States for a long time, and he knows a lot about people from all sides and factions, the sons of rich and powerful families and the sons of business tycoons. These people organize the worst teams, dare to touch anything, and try crazily to get to the edge of breaking the law.

Lin Feng has always kept a respectful distance from people like this.

And Thomas, he’s one of them.

Although Lin Feng has never met this Thomas, but his evil deeds, Lin Feng is like a thunderclap.1like a thunderclap piercing the ear； reverberate like thunder—(of sb’s name) resound in one’s ears,  Describing people’s reputation is very big. Relying on his background, his family owns a company, he commits all kinds of evil. That is a typical playboy and dandy.

This Thomas has only one goal in life, and that is to find excitement!

So, when Lin Feng learned that Shen Yi had offended Thomas, he was very surprised. Even though they were at the same university, they had different classes, different statuses, and they didn’t have any social contacts at ordinary times.

Logically speaking, there should be no hostility.

Lin Feng initially suspected that Thomas had caused trouble to Shen Yi first, but later he found out that it was Shen Yi who beat Thomas first!

You must know that there are not many Asians in the university, and if the group is small, it is easy to be bullied.

An 18-year-old Chinese girl accidentally bumped into someone she shouldn’t have bumped into. She clearly apologized, but she was still pushed to the ground, and at the same time, a plate of food was thrown over her head.

The isolated and helpless girl covered her face and cried, surrounded by laughter.

Shen Yi was dining in the cafeteria at the time, and as soon as he put his knife and fork down, he got up and beat up the white American named Thomas, who was laughing the loudest on the spot.

A 22-year-old, tall American man was actually beaten by a 15-year-old skinny boy?

Could Thomas swallow this breath? couldn’t swallow it, so, the knot was tied.

Lin Feng admired Shen Yi’s behavior, but later he found out that Shen Yi didn’t care about his life and death, Lin Feng became very angry.

As someone who has experienced this, Lin Feng was well aware of the drawbacks and risks of Shen Yi’s character.

He is too withdrawn, too arrogant, unsociable, never gets close to people, he is also reluctant to make friends with others.

As if, his life, as long as he alone is enough.

If he rejects people like this, sooner or later, he will pay a heavy price ……

Rong Qian didn’t go out all day.

She was pondering the question, who were the men in black who attacked them at that time? Or rather, who had sent someone to attack them?

Rong Qian thought it over carefully, decided to go to Beijing almost as soon as she said she would, and Zhang Hao’s joining, without any notice, was decided on the spur of the moment.

It’s strange. How did the people who attacked them know that they were going to stay at Zhang Hao’s relative’s house? Moreover, they knew the address and ambushed them in advance?

Unless Zhang Hao was an accomplice, brought her there intentionally.

Of course, this possibility is basically zero, and since it’s not Zhang Hao, did the attacker put a bug on them?

Moreover, there is the most important point!

The other party didn’t take her status as a police officer seriously at all, and attacked the police officers repeatedly, as if they were not afraid of her at all.

The more Rong Qian thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Although she knew that after she went back, she could set up defenses in advance to avoid this crisis, but before that, Rong Qian still had to figure it out.

Who the hell is her attacker? What did they want?

Rong Qian sat on the sofa, absorbed in thought, with a serious expression. Until she heard the door open, Rong Qian immediately put away the records on the table where she compiled the cases, and quickly hid the paper and pencil.

Rong Qian casually took an apple, then pretended to be lazy and nestled on the sofa, munching an apple out of boredom.

As the most basic criminal investigation ability of a criminal policeman, Rong Qian wanted to cover up something, it would be watertight. Therefore, Shen Yi did not notice it.

Delightfully eating the midnight snack that Shen Yi brought back for her, Rong Qian asked him casually: “Why did you come back so early today?”

She waited for him very late last night.

“There is no part-time job today.” Shen Yi’s face remain unchanged, but he lowered his eyes and deliberately avoided the details of eye contact, but still couldn’t escape Rong Qian’s eyes.

Rong Qian couldn’t help laughing and shook her head, but suddenly thought of something, Rong Qian slightly hesitated, but still told him about the incident in the morning, “Someone came to look for you in the morning, it was a woman.”

Shen Yi’s face suddenly changed, “You met her?”

“Yes, although I said she found the wrong person and sent her away, but I guess she will come again next time.” Rong Qian saw his strangeness, asked him: “What’s the matter? Can’t I see her?”

“What did she tell you?” Shen Yi’s tone was urgent.

“It’s nothing, that’s all, What’s wrong?”

Shen Yi frowned, very worried. He looked into Rong Qian’s eyes and asked her, “Did you do it?”

Rong Qian knew what he was referring to, she nodded and admitted, “I did, although I was a bit impulsive, I don’t regret it, so, will you blame me?”

Shen Yi shook his head and denied it, “I won’t blame you, never will. It’s just that if you want to do this kind of thing next time, you can discuss it with me. You did it too lightly.”

Rong Qian blinked, so, what he meant was, she didn’t hit hard enough?

“After he woke up, he looked for you everywhere. The result was obvious, you had already left. Even if he turned the entire manor upside down, he couldn’t find a trace of you.” When Shen Yi said this, there was still a hint of resentment that she had left without saying goodbye.

Rong Qian smiled awkwardly, “After that?”

“Although he couldn’t find you, the wound on his face, it’s a fact that can’t be covered up, and the painting proves that you once existed.” When Shen Yi spoke of this, his face grew ugly, “Later, he thought you were Yan Qingyao.”

“What?”

Shen Yi clenched his fists, “He thinks that Yan Qingyao was not dead, but just became the woman in her painting. All these years, he has always treasured your portrait, and, up until now, is still looking for you.”

Hearing this, Rong Qian finally knew why he was so panicked just now. He was afraid that Meng Yuxin would recognize her and tell Shen Chi.

However, from Meng Yuxin’s reaction when she saw her in the morning, it was obvious that she hadn’t seen the painting.

“Even if she hasn’t seen it now, but she will see it sooner or later.” What Shen Yi is worried about is this.

Rong Qian patted his shoulder and comforted him: “Don’t be afraid; when soldiers come, use generals to block it; when water comes, use soil to cover it;2It is a metaphor for deciding the countermeasures based on the specific situation and seeking truth from facts.  even if they are found out, there is nothing to be afraid of, don’t worry.”

Shen Yi looked at her, his eyes determined: “That painting, he doesn’t deserve it, one day I’ll get it back, no matter how.”

Rong Qian paused for a moment, could it be, who was so stupid and rich, the mysterious buyer who spent 60 million to buy that painting, was him?

“Even if the painting is auctioned, it would take 60 million to buy it, would you still be willing?” Rong Qian asked him tentatively.

Shen Yi replied without hesitation, “I’m willing, in my heart, that painting, priceless.”

“Is it because that was the last one painted by Yan Qingyao?” Rong Qian could only guess this.

Shen Yi denied her, “No, it’s because, the person on that painting, it’s you.”

Rong Qian didn’t expect him to be so straightforward. It seemed, she was really important in his hearts, I guess she was treated like a family.

“Just in case, Rong Qian, I hope, you can go out as little as possible.” Shen Yi urged her.

Rong Qian raised her eyebrows when she heard this, she crossed her arms, and asked with great interest: “What did you call me?”

“Call your name, what’s wrong?”

“Of course it’s wrong, you should call me sister. If it doesn’t work, calling sister Rong Qian is also okay, how can you call me by my full name? Rong Qian needed to remind him that this was basic etiquette, seniority was very important!

Don’t call me sister next year, I see your mind is a little wild!3I’m trying to find the meaning of this but what I found is “For love, age is not a problem at all.” but mostly the context is about older woman and younger man relationship. If anyone knows better, please tell me in the comment.

Shen Yi pursed his lips, obviously unwilling, and finally thought of a compromise, “Then, I will call you Ah Qian from now on.”

“Ah Qian.” He looked at her, called out to her.

When Rong Qian heard his voice Ah Qian, immediately stunned, and her memory was immediately brought back to the first time she met him. At that time, he just called her Ah Qian.

It turns out, this name, it started from this time …..
