Chapter 741: Chapter 732: Li Zijun Wants to Meet Shen Yi
"Sister Zijun, sister, let it go, calm down, calm down, don’t hit anymore, if you keep hitting, Qiangzi’s skin will break!"
"Stop, stop, Sister Zijun, don’t hit anymore!"
In the hospital room, Su Qing was trying various ways to mediate the fight, but he didn’t step in to stop it, he was just talking! He was having a great time.
After all, opportunities for Qiangzi to get beaten were rare; usually, he couldn’t go one-on-one with Du Qiang, and although he suffered a lot, he could only gain some verbal advantage. After all, he was an ordinary person, how could he take on a young and vigorous detective in his twenties? That would just be asking for trouble, wouldn’t it?
So at this moment, watching Li Zijun wreak havoc on Du Qiang, he felt particularly relieved, even a bit vindicated. If he’d known earlier, he would have brought snacks and drinks, since who would’ve thought a hospital room could host a martial arts scene.
To be honest, the fighting scenes were way better than martial arts films nowadays, at least the fights here had real moves, and each punch was real, unlike today’s martial arts films that rely on slow motion or stiff wire work and shoddy special effects; it was great and authentic.
On the hospital bed, Du Qiang nestled himself tightly, with only one immobile leg, while the rest of his body was curled up in a very standard defensive posture.
Even though Li Zijun was hitting him, she had her limits, naturally avoiding Du Qiang’s injured leg. The pinching and thumping she delivered satisfied her a lot.
Taking a deep breath, she glanced at Su Qing, who was enjoying the show, and glared as she casually pushed her hair behind her ear, "What are you looking at? Put your eyes back and scram!"
Su Qing: "Cough, cough, putting them back right now, right now!"
Su Qing quickly looked elsewhere, not even daring to glance at the bedridden Du Qiang, fearing he might laugh and get kicked out of the room by Li Zijun.
Getting kicked out of a room is a mere expression for others, but a real case for him. He was genuinely afraid.
"Li Zijun!!!" Du Qiang shouted!
"The great lady is here, what now? Want more beating?"
"Uh... I just wanted to ask if you’re tired, if so, why not sit down and have some fruit first?" Du Qiang said ingratiatingly, utterly without spine. Of course, having a backbone wouldn’t help at this moment.
Hearing this, Li Zijun snorted, found a chair to sit on, and casually picked an apple, took a bite, feeling noticeably refreshed, after all, hitting someone is a skill.
Only then did Su Qing dare look at Du Qiang on the bed, seeing him grimacing as he kneaded his body all over. It was clear that there were no injuries, not even bruises; after all, Li Zijun was skilled in hitting people.
"Serves you right, courting death like that!" Su Qing laughed.
Du Qiang: ???
He didn’t even know why he got beaten in the first place, having taken the beating without knowing why.
While Su Qing, having been beaten many times in his life, was a veteran at understanding the cause. Naturally, he knew why Li Zijun acted out; she was just embarrassed after someone saw through her.
Of course, it was partly Du Qiang’s fault for not keeping his mouth shut, saying whatever was on his mind.
"Spill it, is your girlfriend the one I saw at your house last year? How long have you two been dating?" Li Zijun asked, after catching her breath, while seated on the chair.
To be honest, Su Qing suddenly getting a girlfriend and bringing her home made her slightly uncomfortable, like something that belonged to her was being taken away, inducing an inexplicable sense of loss.
Especially since last year, she suddenly realized that this little follower who had been trailing her since childhood had unexpectedly grown up and soared upward in a short span, making her slightly obsessed at times.
Her attitude towards him was changing subtly. Even now, she didn’t admit that this feeling was romantic; only by hearing that Su Qing brought his girlfriend home did she feel an inexplicable sense of loss, realizing something was off.
Thankfully, this feeling wasn’t deep, not even budding, although she felt a bit uneasy, the strange feeling in her heart dissolved completely; after all, she wasn’t someone who clings fruitlessly.
But then came some anger, wanting to hit someone. Especially when she saw Su Qing in the hospital room today, it became more intense.
Luckily, Du Qiang was there, with thick skin to withstand the beating. Even if he was a patient, she really wanted to deal with Su Qing, yet his small frame wouldn’t withstand it, so she was satisfied.
[Li Zijun, who had expended most of her anger, posed less of a threat. As long as you don’t court death, you won’t get beaten; consider yourself lucky!]
[Although Li Zijun speculates in her heart, she remains curious about your partner and is somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Yi due to her age, suspecting her of misleading you.]
[Never underestimate a detective’s insight; she has exceptional skills in reading people!]
Receiving these cues was rare. He hadn’t triggered so many prompts on Li Zijun for a long time; clearly, she was provoked.
Lying? That’s not advisable, as she would find out eventually. Given their family’s ties, would they not show up at his wedding?
Instead of leaving landmines for the future, confessing now and minimize the trouble... Huh? Why say "confess now and minimize trouble"?
"Uh... Sister Zijun, you are indeed wise; it is indeed her!" Su Qing laughed.
As soon as he finished, Li Zijun abruptly stood up, glaring at him with wide eyes. Seeing this, Du Qiang, lying on the bed, muttered quietly: "Fight! Hit him! Beat him up!"
Upon hearing this, both turned their gazes to the bed with unfriendly eyes, scaring Du Qiang into quickly covering himself with the blanket, "You can’t see me, can’t see me!"
Only then did the two look away, and Li Zijun took a deep breath and said, "Darn, it is her, I just knew that woman wasn’t good. How can she, at such an age, deceive youngsters, and what else?"
Understanding the question, Su Qing quickly replied, "We only started dating last October, when you met, we were just regular friends!"
"Regular friends? So, it was premeditated. Indeed, that woman planned everything, and she succeeded!" Li Zijun said through gritted teeth.
When she first met Shen Yi at Su Qing’s rented old house, she knew this woman wasn’t easy after a few brief exchanges. However, Su Qing was a nobody back then, with nothing to gain from, so she didn’t bother. After all, Shen Yi appeared wealthy and looked decent. She never thought they would end up together; she initially thought Shen Yi might be a rich woman having fun, never expecting to be calculatively tangled.
"Did you join her company because she asked you to?"
"Sort of!"
"Darn, it’s a sinister plot, crafting plans meticulously; indeed, cunning!"
Su Qing: ...
What could he say? In Li Zijun’s eyes, Shen Yi had already become a crafty fox, tactically seducing him.
But truthfully, Li Zijun’s guess wasn’t off, and it was indeed a fact. After all, Shen Yi planned and acted that way.
"Before, Mumu said that President Shen took good care of you, and I didn’t believe it; she just wanted to take advantage of her position to seduce, indeed scheming, you kid aren’t what you used to be, mind your money!" Li Zijun took a deep breath and said.
Su Qing: ...
With such a large fortune, does she need to covet his little money? But the next second, he couldn’t laugh as he quickly spoke:
"Sister Zijun, please, don’t tell Sun Mumu about this matter!"
"Why?" Li Zijun asked, puzzled.
In response, Su Qing rolled his eyes, "She has a big mouth. If she knows, everyone in the company will know the next day. How would I face that at work?"
"Oh, are you worried about being shamed? Worried about people saying you’re supported by a woman?" Li Zijun showed interest.
"Uh... not really, it’s just avoiding trouble!"
"Okay, but I have a condition!"
"What condition?"
"I want to meet her, you arrange the time, as soon as possible!"
Su Qing: ???
