Ah Lai and all his friends were stunned on hearing this.
Liu Dongping was surprised and blurted out, “You’re done with our friendship?”
Did we misunderstand Wei Shuyi?
Ah Lai also looked at Wei Shuyi, obviously not understanding what he meant. Ah Lai almost suspected that he was hallucinating.
Wei Shuyi had never suffered such a shock before in his life. No matter how good his upbringing was, when he flew into a rage out of humiliation, he could not help but roar at Ah Lai and the rest. He scolded them in a low voice, “All of you were f*cking courting death. Why did you want to drag me down with you! I’m a good young man from a good society. I’ve lived to the age of 29 without even dating. Tonight, I was almost molested by those women!”
Speaking of which, Wei Shuyi was reminded of the fear of his belt being almost unbuckled.
Ah Lai was stunned by his shout, and so were the others. Wei Shuyi’s reaction told them that he didn’t know that the bar was holding a secret party tonight…
“Handsome Wei, didn’t you know that there was a party at the bar?” Brother Wei finally understood.
Wei Shuyi sneered, “Is it weird that I don’t know?”
Wei Shuyi was still single even at the age of 29. It would be strange if he knew those things.
Brother Wei stopped talking.
Ah Lai was also a little embarrassed, but he felt that Wei Shuyi was exaggerating what happened, so he said, “Handsome Wei, this isn’t a big deal. Those women didn’t do anything to you. Why are you like a woman, so concerned about your chastity?”
Ah Lai’s nonchalant tone stunned Wei Shuyi.
He finally realized that Ah Lai was going to get married tomorrow. Ah Lai knew that the bar was having a party tonight, but he still invited all of them there. He must have had an ulterior motive. After thinking it through, Wei Shuyi looked at Ah Lai again with dissatisfaction.
Seeing Wei Shuyi’s look of disdain, Ah Lai got angry. “What kind of a look is that?”
Wei Shuyi snorted and mercilessly mocked him. He said, “Since you can’t be devoted to Sisi, it’s better to break up with her as soon as possible. It’s not too late to break up before getting married. Don’t harm a good lady like her.”
Ah Lai was stunned for a moment, then he exploded in anger and roared, “Are we still brothers? Are you cursing me? Huh?”
Wei Shuyi sneered, “I’m sorry. I can’t be your brother.”
Ah Lai rushed toward Wei Shuyi. From the looks of it, he was going to fight with him.
Brother Wei, Liu Dongping, and the rest ran up to stop the fight.
On the other side of the corridor, Jiaren Wu heard Wei Shuyi and Ah Lai’s conversation and smiled.
Kang Hui touched his nose and said to her, “It looks like he has really been wronged.”
Jiaren Wu snorted, glanced at Kang Hui, and quickly walked out.
The police baton knocked on the metal railing of the detention room. Jiaren Wu expressionlessly looked at the group of men who were causing trouble inside and said coldly, “Engaging in a fight means one more offense.”
Ah Lai was still holding onto Wei Shuyi’s collar. He didn’t let go, but he didn’t continue fighting either.
Wei Shuyi had been beaten up by Jiaren Wu before, and now he was like a half-dead dog. Facing Ah lai’s attack, he seemed powerless. Jiaren Wu appearing at this time was no different from helping him. Wei Shuyi turned his head to look outside. When he met Jiaren Wu’s cold gaze, he felt guilty.
“Ah Lai, forget it. We did something wrong. Handsome Wei didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Besides, you’re getting married tomorrow. If you cause any more trouble, you’ll be detained!”
Wei Shuyi thought: No one is here to protect you. Even if you gather together to hire prostitutes, you still have to stay in the detention center for a few days.
The words “getting married tomorrow” finally knocked Ah Lai back to his senses.
He released Wei Shuyi and looked at him with a complicated expression. Then, he walked back and sat down.
In fact, Ah Lai understood that he had indeed implicated Wei Shuyi in today’s incident. However, Wei Shuyi’s look of disdain toward him had hurt him.
***
Soon, the family members and friends of the accused came to the police station to bail them out. In the end, only about ten people were left in the few detention rooms. Some of them were caught fooling around and had been detained for half a month. They were even fined.
Ah Lai was also a little flustered when no one came to be his guarantor after a long time. The others also felt terrible when they saw his ugly expression.
At six in the morning, Ah Lai’s girlfriend, Wang Sisi, arrived at the police station.
In the middle of winter, she had worn a bright red dress with a phoenix crown on her head and a down jacket. As Wang Sisi entered the police station, she did not look happy.
Her outfit clearly showed that she was a bride-to-be.
“I’m Wang Sisi. Was there anyone named Song Lai among the people you took away from the Silk Bar last night?”
Jiaren Wu had worked overtime for the entire night and was already a little tired. When she saw Wang Sisi, she took a few more glances at the woman’s wedding gown and felt sympathy for her.
“Yes.”
After Jiaren Wu said this, she saw Wang Sisi’s pretty face turn pale.
Wang Sisi shook her body before saying, “I’ll be his guarantor.”
She didn’t ask Jiaren Wu what Ah Lai had been doing when he had been taken away last night. She didn’t want to ask, and she didn’t dare. She was more afraid to ask.
When Ah Lai heard that Wang Sisi had come to be his guarantor, he looked a little embarrassed and guilty.
Why did his bride have to come?
The police officers took Ah Lai out of the detention room. When Wang Sisi saw him, she first asked, “Are you okay?”
Ah Lai was stunned. He thought that Wang Sisi’s wrath would be the one to welcome him.
However, Wang Sisi’s thoughtful concern made Ah Lai feel even more guilty.
When they had been in university, it was Wang Sisi who had pursued Ah Lai. Although Ah Lai also messed around in the earlier years, he had restrained himself in recent years. Wang Sisi knew that he did not love her deeply, but when Ah Lai had found out that she was pregnant and proposed to her, she had still cried out in excitement.
Ah Lai didn’t love her, but she did love him.
This morning, she had woken up before dawn to freshen up and put on her clothes. However, she had then heard that the police had taken away Ah Lai. The crime he had committed was also so messy!
At that moment, something in Wang Sisi’s heart had shattered.
Ah Lai softly said, “I’m alright.”
“That’s good.” Wang Sisi nodded.
Ah Lai was about to apologize when he saw Wang Sisi take off the ring on her finger. It was the ring that he had proposed to her with. She had been wearing it all along and couldn’t bear to take it off even during a shower. Ah Lai’s pupils constricted when he saw Wang Sisi pass the ring to him. She said, “I’ll return this to you. I can’t afford to wear your ring.”
Wang Sisi did not care about Ah Lai’s reaction and stuffed the ring into his hand. Then, she removed the phoenix crown on her head. Perhaps, it was because her hair was too complicated to untie, but her initial calmness suddenly crumbled.
She forcefully tore off the phoenix crown from her head. Her hair instantly became messy. The phoenix crown she held in her hand was still tangled with long strands of black hair.
Wang Sisi was no longer calm and composed. She was a mess.
She handed the phoenix crown to Ah Lai and said to him, “Fortunately, this happened before we got married.
“Song Lai, cancel the wedding.”
Ah Lai felt empty inside. Holding the phoenix crown felt like holding a boulder.
This huge rock made his heart ache.
“This…” He wanted to say something to make her stay, but he felt ashamed. Seeing that Wang Sisi was about to leave, he hurriedly asked, “What about the child?”
Wang Sisi said, “Having a father like you would be irresponsible to the child.”
Understanding her implied meaning, Ah Lai finally felt regret.
“No, this marriage cannot be canceled. This child must be born!” Ah lai’s expression drastically changed, and his words started to become forceful.
Wang Sisi looked at him with eyes full of disappointment and said, “I wasn’t worthy of you in the past, but you’re not worthy of me now.” She bitterly smiled and continued, “Song Lai, I look down on you.” Then, Wang Sisi walked out of the police station.
Ah Lai panicked.
Jiaren Wu had been observing their conversation. When Wang Sisi left, she saw Ah Lai holding the phoenix crown alone, stunned as if his soul had left his body. Sneering, she said, “She’s right. You aren’t worthy of her.”
Liu Dongping and the others were taken away one after another, and they also found out that Ah Lai’s marriage was over.
Everyone had different thoughts.
In the end, everyone was taken away, leaving Wei Shuyi alone.
Wei Shuyi was alone and knew that no one would come for him. When Kang Hui pretended to walk past him again, he couldn’t help but ask, “Can I make a call?”
Kang Hui meaningfully looked at him, chuckled, and said, “No.”
Wei Shuyi was speechless.
He stayed in the detention room alone until he was hungry. His wound hurt, and dusk arrived soon.
At this moment, the police officers in the police station started to change shifts.
Moments later, Jiaren Wu finally walked into the room.
She had already taken off her uniform and police coat. She had worn her short down jacket and jeans. It was cold today, so she had zipped up the down jacket. Her legs were long and straight. Jiaren Wu stood outside the detention room and looked at Wei Shuyi, who was squatting inside like he had fallen asleep from hunger. She narrowed her eyes.
She slowly took out her keys and opened the door to the detention room.
The commotion finally woke Wei Shuyi up.
He raised his head and locked eyes with Jiaren Wu.
After a moment, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Is she planning to laugh at me?
However, Jiaren Wu said, “Let’s go.”
Wei Shuyi was stunned. He slowly raised his head and said to Jiaren Wu, “Someone came to be my guarantor?” He guessed that it might be his mentor.
Jiaren Wu sneered. “I’ll do it.”
Wei Shuyi’s expression turned complicated.
She was the reason that he was injured all over, but she was also the reason he had finally walked out of the police station.
Wei Shuyi endured the pain from his wounds and followed Jiaren Wu out of the parking lot. In private, Jiaren Wu did not wear the leather shoes she wore at work. Instead, she changed into a pair of stunning black British flat boots that made her legs look even better.
Jiaren Wu stopped her motorbike in front of Wei Shuyi and threw something at him.
Wei Shuyi caught it with difficulty. It was a helmet.
“Put it on. It’s against the rules not to wear a helmet.” As a police officer, Jiaren Wu always abided by the rules.
Wei Shuyi hugged the helmet and asked Jiaren Wu, “Are you sending me back?”
Jiaren Wu coldly acknowledged it but remained silent.
Wei Shuyi didn’t try to be pretentious. He put on his safety helmet. When he put it on, he inevitably pulled on the wound on his face. He grimaced and stopped himself. Jiaren Wu glanced at him and snorted. “Are you a man? You can’t even bear this little pain.”
Wei Shuyi sneered and said, “Who gave me this?” The culprit didn’t blame herself and even looked down on him. Wei Shuyi’s heart started to hurt.
Jiaren Wu was not someone to be trifled with. She said, “I like you.”
Wei Shuyi was stunned.
He did not understand why the domineering woman had suddenly confessed.
Jiaren Wu turned around and looked straight into Wei Shuyi’s eyes. She said, “I like you. When I see you in such a lewd and messy place, I will be angry as a woman.”
Is this considered an explanation?
Wei Shuyi was speechless.
Strange! So what if she likes him? I didn’t even acknowledge her as my girlfriend!
Wei Shuyi obediently sat behind Jiaren Wu. Jiaren Wu started the bike. Wei Shuyi tightly gripped the back of the motorbike with his fingers. At this moment, Jiaren Wu’s voice traveled into his ears along with the wind, “Are you a coward! Why aren’t you hugging me at this time? Why are you hugging the motorbike seat? You deserve to be single!”
Wei Shuyi was speechless.
He had no choice but to hug Jiaren Wu.
Even though she was wearing a down jacket, Jiaren Wu’s waist was still slim.
After Wei Shuyi hugged her, Jiaren Wu slowed down.
Wei Shuyi had reason to suspect that Jiaren Wu was trying to take advantage of him…
The motorbike stopped beside an ordinary market. Jiaren Wu asked Wei Shuyi, “You aren’t a picky eater, right?”
Is she treating me to a meal?
Wei Shuyi shook his head.
Jiaren Wu asked again, “Do you eat beef?”
“Yes.”
Nodding, Jiaren Wu left Wei Shuyi behind and walked into a convenience store. She took two bowls of Master Kang’s braised beef instant noodles. After paying the bill, she generously gave Wei Shuyi a bowl. Wei Shuyi held the bowl of Master Kang’s spicy beef noodles with a strange expression.
This is beef?
