My Life with Narration

Chapter 742: Chapter 733: Shen Yi’s Fighting Spirit

Isn’t this a total disaster? He never expected Li Zijun would make such a request. If those two meet again, honestly, Su Qing couldn’t imagine what the outcome would be, considering he had witnessed situations where such confrontations were intense.

And back then, Shen Yi wasn’t even his girlfriend; the clash was already that fierce. If Wang Xing hadn’t rushed over to the rescue, he might’ve metaphorically ascended on the spot.

Now that the relationship is clarified, and clearly, Li Zijun seems aggressive, he’s starting to feel a bit scared.

In hindsight, he shouldn’t have come today. He should have hid at home and then gone to the capital with Shen Yi for a while, then returned afterward. By then, his sister might not have been so agitated.

But now, it’s too late to say anything.

"Can... can we change the request?" Su Qing weakly asked.

Li Zijun: →_→

"Ahem, sure, no problem, I promise to complete the task!"

With just a glance, Su Qing gave in. He had to admit, even at twenty-three, his tendency to wimp out hadn’t changed since he was a kid; it felt like some kind of inherent suppression.

Even though Li Zijun wasn’t related to him by blood, the shadow of being beaten up by her since childhood wasn’t something that could be erased quickly.

When they were little, he got beaten up at home; as he grew up, he got beaten outside—it was practically muscle memory by now.

"Tch, how boring. Su’Er, where’s your manly dignity, your manly responsibility? Look at me; I got beaten for ten minutes just now and didn’t make a sound!" Du Qiang poked his head out from under the blanket and spoke up.

Su Qing: →_→

"I wonder whose tragic cries I heard earlier; sounded like a turtle’s call. Oh right, Strong, it’s cold; you better tuck your head back in, so you don’t freeze your face off!"

Du Qiang: "You... I won’t stoop to your level!"

Li Zijun paid no mind to the banter between the two. After all, they couldn’t actually start a fight, considering one of them was still lying in bed.

"Alright then, you decide the time, but preferably today since I’ll be back to work tomorrow!" Li Zijun said.

There was no way around it; Su Qing could only nod. He had earlier thought about postponing it until he got back from the capital, but it seems that’s not going to happen.

The three chatted for a bit longer. Initially, it was all pleasantries, small talk, even discussing current trending topics online. But somehow, the conversation steered towards a major case from some time ago.

Compared to him and Du Qiang—one couldn’t get into the inner circle, the other was hospital-bound—Li Zijun knew a lot more. Of course, she maintained basic police confidentiality, only sharing bits she could discuss with them.

Stuff that couldn’t be disclosed was skimmed over in a sentence. The two, being insiders to some extent, knew the rules and didn’t press further. Still, they managed to glean the general progress of the case from Li Zijun.

Through recent efforts, the bad news was that of the original twelve-member gang, the one who hadn’t been apprehended in the city had already escaped Jiangcheng City and hadn’t been caught—someone spotted him in another city.

It must be said that this person had sharp instincts. When Lin Chengcai reported that he planned to arrest some personnel that very night, that person sensed something was off and realized he couldn’t contact the gang members.

Those in this line of work are a suspicious bunch; the slightest disturbance can turn them into a twitchy mess. Realizing he’d lost contact with his associates, he bolted that very evening, more deftly than any seasoned veteran stepping into action.

However, there was some good news. Through interrogation, they confirmed the suspect’s name, age, and basic details. The Jiang City police had already issued a bounty notice—essentially, this person was a fugitive within domestic borders, unable to engage in legal business.

According to Li Zijun, the case was given notable attention by superiors, who also commended the Jiang City police’s capabilities. Director Liu had been practically floating while walking recently.

Li Zijun left after two hours; after all, she’d managed to wrangle a day off, not to mention they had arranged their meeting for the evening.

Afternoon, Shen Yi’s office.

"Your sister wants to see me? The cop?" Shen Yi asked, somewhat baffled and genuinely surprised.

Su Qing nodded in acknowledgment.

Seeing his grim face, Shen Yi couldn’t help but laugh, "Why the long face? Is it so unbearable for the two of us to meet?"

She certainly knew of Li Zijun, mainly due to the memorable clash during their first meeting, which had left a profound impression on her.

Though her financial status wasn’t extraordinary, Li Zijun had a notable physique and appearance, coupled with the aura of being a police officer—definitely someone hard to forget.

The most crucial part was that during their first interaction, Li Zijun had immediately seen through her intentions—something few could accomplish. She’s been anxious for a while back then, fearful of being exposed.

Li Zijun’s attitude of strict vigilance towards her had been a massive pressure, especially given there was no familial relation, amplifying that pressure.

As the saying goes, "an outsider sees most of the game." She might call her an elder sister, but they were more like childhood companions. Fortunately, she had the last laugh, coming from behind, and their relationship had reached a stage where she’d met Su Qing’s parents, establishing legal status—no longer needing to shy away from Li Zijun’s meeting request.

"Sigh, you don’t understand, my sister is not easy to deal with!"

"You seem quite afraid of her?" Shen Yi asked, puzzled.

In response, Su Qing firmly stated, "Not afraid—terrified. Forget it, you wouldn’t get it. Don’t count on me tonight; it’s up to you!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi was instantly fired up. How could her man be afraid of another woman? He’s not dealing with his mom, so if she let this slide, wouldn’t she be an unworthy girlfriend?

A smile formed beautifully at the corners of her mouth as she said, "Don’t worry, everyone’s got a sister, I’m one too, aren’t I? Besides, do I look like a pushover? It’s not certain who will win. I have confidence in myself."

With the conditions Shen Yi had, she was naturally confident, no matter who she faced—even compared to those stars in the entertainment industry, she didn’t lack in terms of looks or personal qualifications.

Not to brag, but if she wanted, those glamorous actresses on the screen could easily be dining with her at her table, joining her for a meal.

Anything that comes with a price tag isn’t difficult for her, essentially making her a capitalist.

Hearing this, Su Qing became even more distressed, rubbing his head, he said:

"It’s because I know your capabilities that I’m worried. I have a hunch tonight’s dinner will be thrilling; I just hope I can handle it!"

Shen Yi: ???
