Qin Zhen was momentarily at a loss for words, then he said, “I don’t have your contact information, so I could only reach out through Shen Qingyue. I was merely seeking compensation from her as a normal request, there was no harassment involved.”

“President Qin, you’re quite the talker,” Fu Daoyu chuckled, appearing charming and somewhat mocking, “But I remember Zhang Jianci had already contacted you voluntarily, right? He didn’t provide you with his address or contact information? Well, ti seems like he didn’t do a very good job..”

Qin Zhen remained adamant, “I never heard anything from Yang Fan.”

He refused to admit it now, and the others could not do much about it. But the truth was clear to those present.

Chi Ming had a composed expression, but his tone carried a hint of mockery, “Since Zhang Jianci hasn’t informed you, I’ll make sure he contacts you again tomorrow! He’ll contact you directly.”

Qin Zhen glared at him, his eyes filled with hostility.

Chi Ming was not afraid at all. He looked around and squinted, “Qingyue, what just happened here?”

Shen Qingyue casually replied, “Just a minor scuffle, it’s been resolved.”

Chi Ming noticed Lu Xiong lying not far away, groaning in pain. He probably guessed what had happened and his gaze turned dangerous, but he didn’t say anything to Shen Qingyue. Some things didn’t need to be known by her.

Shen Qingyue, however, did not catch Chi Ming’s fleeting change in emotion.

She dialed the police immediately. After hanging up the phone, she turned to Qin Zhen with a cold expression, “President Qin, it’s getting late. You should leave too. You wouldn’t want to accidentally get hurt somewhere, and then Madam Qin accuses me of deliberately causing trouble. I really don’t want any further relations with your family.”

Qin Zhen understood she was referring to the incident involving Mrs. Qin’s interference in Project Suburb One. As long as the person responsible for his accident hadn’t been identified, his mother would continue to believe it was Shen Qingyue. He didn’t immediately leave, saying, “I’ll stay with you until the police arrive. I don’t feel comfortable leaving you here alone.”

However, his offer to help was met with refusal from Shen Qingyue, “President Qin, haven’t vou always been fond of leaving me behind when I needed you?

Now is no different. I hope you can maintain that status, and I don’t need you to play the role of a good person here.”

Qin Zhen had been targeted by Shen Qingyue repeatedly, and he couldn’t contain his anger any longer. “I’m just trying to help!”

Shen Qingyue looked resolute. “I don’t need your help. Qin Zhen, you’re an adult. Surely you can understand that?”

Qin Zhen gritted his teeth, wanting to say something more.

At this moment, Chi Ming stepped forward, firmly placing himself in front of Shen Qingyue. “I will stay with Qingyue and wait for the police. So, Qin Zhen, please leave. Qingyue no longer needs you here.” His words carried a double meaning.

Qin Zhen did not want to leave, but Shen Qingyue had pushed things to this point, and he could not save face any longer. He glanced at Chi Ming and finally walked away.

Once Qin Zhen had left, Shen Qingyue let down her guard and her expression eased a bit.

The police quickly arrived and took away Lu Xiong and the others, with Shen Qingyue following suit.

On the way back, Chi Ming’s car trailed behind Shen Qingyue’s until she safely reached her home. He waited downstairs for quite some time before leaving.

Shen Qingyue stared at the slowly retreating car on the street below in silence. Tonight, she hadn’t actually felt afraid. Even though she had been to the police station multiple times, it hadn’t affected her much. Even driving home alone hadn’t bothered her. But the presence of Chi Ming behind her had inexplicably given her a sense of security.

It was as if.. even if the sky were to fall, there would still be someone to support her. She drew the curtains on the balcony, returned to her room, saw the stuffed bear on the sofa, gave it a gentle pat, and then lay back down on her bed to rest.

In the morning, a message arrived from the neighboring province’s auction house, asking Tong Jia to bring the item for appraisal. Shen Qingyue received the message and forwarded it to Tong Jia, who inquired about the appraisal process and didn’t bother her further.

Two days later, Tong Jia sent another message, saying that the appraisal had been successful. Because she needed money urgently and couldn’t wait for the formal auction, she had asked the auction house to contact a private buyer to sell the ring directly.

When Shen Qingyue went to the hospital to visit Shen Jun, she also took the opportunity to check on Tong Jia’s mother. The illness had already turned a once-beautiful woman into a frail figure.

In reality, she was so similar to her past self. The only difference was that Tong Jia’s mother had been diagnosed early, and with a standard surgical procedure, there was a possibility of recovery. historical

Shen Qingyue didn’t stay long and left..
