Door crack

The police car and the ambulance drove all the way and parted ways at a bend.

In the middle of the night, the road was unimpeded, there was no disturbing sound of the siren, and the car just drove quietly.

Qiao Yiming turned his head to look at the ambulance turning to the other side in a daze, and sat upright until he could no longer see it.His forehead and palms were covered with sweat, his head was blank, and he was so numb that he couldn't feel his heartbeat and breathing. At this moment, he had only one thought, and it was the only one——Don't let Zeng Chen know!At least not today.

Apart from himself, there were only Zhang Chi and Ran Qing in the car.He knew that this car was not here to arrest him, but to be precise, it should be to send him to surrender.He still remembered Zhang Chi's anxious voice on the phone, telling him not to leave, not to panic, but to call an ambulance first.

Ran Qing observed Qiao Yiming from the rearview mirror, the car was a bit dull, and no one spoke.This matter will definitely not be resolved smoothly. After all, it is the Chi family's prince who is in doubt about his life and death. Even if Qiao Yiming is not solely responsible, this matter will not be resolved.

The car slowed down and stopped at the side of the road. Qiao Yiming knew that Ran Qing had something to say, he took a few deep breaths of cold air, raised his head, and looked directly at the other person with serious eyes, "I know what you want to ask, I'm not going to hide or make up any details, rest assured."

There was no longer the panic in those eyes, and there was no regret, but Zhang Chi could see that Qiao Yiming was trying to suppress some emotion that he didn't want to show, it was sadness.

Yes, sad, full of sadness for someone.

"Chi Lin asked you out, right?" Ran Qing asked.

"Yes."

"You should have guessed what was going to happen, why did you take the appointment?"

"I want to teach him a lesson, and I even thought about killing him." Qiao Yiming replied truthfully, "Although I have such an idea, I don't think I really have the guts to kill him. If he doesn't blame Boss Zhang, if he If Zeng Chen hadn't been used to stimulate me, I'm afraid such a situation wouldn't have happened."

Ran Qing nodded, "Do you know that the current situation is not good for you? There is no monitoring in the factory area, so there is no way to prove what happened there, and the only two witnesses are Chi Lin's buddies, they will not tell you Good word."

"I know." Qiao Yiming did not deny that he was at a disadvantage, but it was not the first time he was passive, and there was nothing unacceptable. "The moment I decided to accept the appointment, I never thought of getting out. If I killed him, Let him stop harassing Zeng Chen, even if I spend a lifetime in prison, it's worth it."

"Is it worth it?" Zhang Chi, who had been silent all this time, hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak, and asked a question that he had been reluctant to ask in front of Qiao Yiming, "I can feel how strong your desire to protect Zeng Chen is, but on the contrary come here?"

For a while, Qiao Yiming couldn't figure out what Zhang Chi wanted to say, but once this topic started, it was destined to drive a nail in his heart and make him uncomfortable.

It's not that he doesn't know that Zeng Chen's feelings for Lu Ting can't be let go for a few days or months. Part of the reason why it was so difficult to sue Lu Ting for the last attack was Zeng Chen's reluctance to sue Lu Ting. So they could only make a fuss about Chi Lin, but it was not Chi Lin who directly caused the injury, so there was no way for this matter to continue.

Qiao Yiming instinctively avoided this reason, unwilling to consider it as a hindrance factor, but at this moment, being so straightforwardly cut open in front of him by Zhang Chi, he felt unspeakably offended.

Zhang Chi knew that Qiao Yiming must have thought of this question, "If Zeng Chen is willing to sue Lu Ting directly, maybe things will be much easier. At least the Chi family hasn't reached out so far to help an irrelevant outsider. If you... ..."

"No!" Qiao Yiming rebuffed Zhang Chi's unspoken proposal, "I will not force him to do what he doesn't want to do. Today's troubles were caused by me, and I will bear it myself. He has no reason to pay for my actions. "

"Is there no reason?" Zhang Chi took a deep look at Qiao Yiming. There were too many meanings in that gaze, there was no need to say more, just point to something.

Qiao Yiming didn't understand Zhang Chi's painstaking efforts, but from the very beginning, he and Zeng Chen were passionately threatening and pursuing him, and he almost tied him up. There is no way to find out, is it an indifferent compromise, or out of gratitude?

Or, a little bit, even a little liking?

In short, he didn't want to force Zeng Chen on this matter, let alone let Zeng Chen know what happened tonight. If possible, he would rather let the warm and ambiguous atmosphere of each other freeze in that beautiful dinner.

"Your behavior should be counted as self-defense that caused serious injury or death. It depends on the nature. It can be up to ten years. If it is purely accidental injury, there is also the possibility of acquittal. It's just that what you are facing now is not Ordinary enemies, the Chi family has plenty of ways to make you squat for a lifetime."

While talking, Ran Qing restarted the car, the man in the rearview mirror was much more embarrassed than when he first met, but his gaze remained firm, "Xiao Zixian's power can completely fight against the Chi family, but what he lacks is an opportunity, if Zeng Chen is willing to sue Lu Ting, and if Lu Ting's crimes are confirmed, then Chi Lin's cover-up crime and his identity as an accomplice will also be confirmed, so you should think about it carefully."

"Don't think about it, I won't tell Zeng Chen about it."

The flat refusal caused the car to fall into an awkward silence again.The car was driving on a familiar road, which was the direction of home, but unfortunately, he could only sit in the car and look at the lit windows with nostalgia.

Is Zeng Chen asleep?doing what?Were you surprised by that gift?It's a pity that I didn't get to see what kind of expression Zeng Chen would show when he received the gift. Would he like that watch?

Will he... put it on?

The person on the other side was walking around in the warm house in thin pajamas, inexplicably flustered, unable to sleep at all, holding a warm glass of water in his hand, trying to calm his beating heart.

Zeng Chen was leaning against the window of the living room, drinking the warm water in the cup for a while, but his eyes drifted unconsciously to the wide and quiet road outside the yard.

Isn't today Christmas Eve?Why is it so quiet, haven't the young kids come out for the holidays?Maybe I have to go to work tomorrow, so after all, I still have to go home and rest obediently.

I don't know how busy Qiao Yiming is. It's already three o'clock in the morning, but there is still no response. This is not that guy's style at all.It has become a habit to report the movements at any time. Zeng Chen found that from the initial boredom to the later indifference, until this moment, he would feel a little lonely because of the silent mobile phone.

A police car quickly passed by the road outside the courtyard, which made him unconsciously look a few more times, his heart tightened, and he felt unbearably uncomfortable.

Zeng Chen caressed his chest, trying to relax himself, raised the water glass again and wanted to drink the liquid in the glass, but his wrist felt numb, the water glass slipped from his hand, fell to the ground and shattered.

"Alas..." Sighing, he picked up the pieces one by one, wiped off the water stains on the floor, Zeng Chenhuang went back to the bedroom and lay down, but stared in distraught until dawn, unable to fall asleep.

It was not only Zeng Chen who was sleepless all night, but also Qiao Yiming who was recording the statement in the interrogation room.

Those bloodshot eyes stared straight at the policeman in front of him, everything that needed to be explained was explained, and the two accomplices brought by Chi Lin were also found, but neither of them insisted that it was Qiao Yiming's hand injury. People, they didn't tell the truth, obviously they were two sons who hadn't seen the real bloody scenes very much, they were completely frightened and dumbfounded, and couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

"Before drawing conclusions, I'm afraid Mr. Qiao will have to live in the detention center for a while." The policeman announced with a frown.

Qiao Yiming had no objection to this. This result was already in his expectation. He just nodded, "I know, but I have an unkind request, can you give me two days of free time?"

Apparently the policeman was very dissatisfied with this request, "Give me a reasonable reason."

"There is a man. I have to settle him down. He needs someone to take care of him." Seeing the policeman's hesitation, Qiao Yiming added, "I won't run away. You can also monitor my movements."

"Don't be too hard on others, we don't have idlers to stare at you."

"I'll do it." Ran Qing, who was quietly listening, patted his colleague on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll watch him."
