Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 501: Chapter 501: I Was Here Too!

Xiaoji Knife Man looked at Qi Wei.

Qi Wei also looked at Xiaoji Knife Man outside the door.

Their eyes met.

Qi Wei’s eyes were red.

Xiaoji Knife Man, panting heavily, asked:

"Did the cops bully you?"

Qi Wei nodded.

Xiaoji Knife Man instantly furrowed his brows, "Just one, or more than one? If it’s just one, I’d find a chance to cover his head and beat him up so that he won’t find out who I am."

"His name is Zhang Xian, the deputy director of the Hongshan Branch in Dongzhou City."

"I don’t care if he’s Zhang Xian or Li Xian, wait for me. I’ll help you with this grudge."

Saying this, Xiaoji Knife Man turned to leave, but Qi Wei grabbed him, sneering:

"Are you stupid or just crazy? That’s the director, do you know what a director is?"

"I know, so what?"

"Why would you go after someone of the director’s rank just for me?"

Xiaoji Knife Man opened his mouth, momentarily speechless, then clenched his fists, his face turning red with frustration.

Qi Wei looked at him, her eyes full of amusement.

For a moment, she felt a bit dazed.

She clearly sensed Xiaoji Knife Man’s recklessness and impulsiveness.

But isn’t this the feeling of being young?

Out of nowhere, Qi Wei recalled the scene of Xiaoji Knife Man dragging her out of the car earlier.

Such domineering and rude behavior.

So much like Zuo Shu back then!

Only, he wasn’t as perfect as Zuo Shu.

Yes, Xiaoji Knife Man was a young man with obvious flaws.

But it was these flaws that gave Qi Wei a strange feeling of wanting to go back to a place that she never actually could.

"Alright, I’m just messing with you. No one bullied me, and even if someone did, what’s the use of calling you?"

Qi Wei said, pouring herself a glass of red wine.

"Have a drink with me, I’m really upset."

"Why should I care whether you’re happy or not? If you look down on me, I’ll just leave."

It seemed that Xiaoji Knife Man was provoked by the words "what’s the use of calling you," looking utterly aggrieved.

Qi Wei couldn’t help but smile, she even pinched Xiaoji Knife Man’s cheek involuntarily:

"Alright, you silly brother. Have a drink with me, after a drink I’ll forget all my pain and the past."

Xiaoji Knife Man frowned, "Fine, I’ll drink, but don’t blame me if you get drunk."

"Me getting drunk? Haha, don’t forget you’re still a patient."

Qi Wei’s mood was complicated.

And when people are deeply depressed, they tend to react to alcohol in one of two extreme ways.

One is being able to drink a lot.

The other is getting drunk very quickly.

Qi Wei belonged to the latter; after drinking several bottles, Xiaoji Knife Man was flushed, while Qi Wei was already sobbing uncontrollably on his shoulder.

"Why does he treat me like this?"

"He had nothing at the time, yet I married him without hesitation!"

"After getting married, all my thoughts were about him, but what about him?"

"He never had any place for me in his heart! If he never had me, then why provoke me!"

Qi Wei was deeply grieved, while Xiaoji Knife Man gently patted her shoulder and gently inquired:

"And what about him?"

"He’s dead, killed by someone!"

As Qi Wei said this, Xiaoji Knife Man’s hand paused on her shoulder.

He seemed quite shocked by the outcome.

At the same time, Qi Wei, who looked drunk, inexplicably opened her eyes.

There was no trace of drunkenness in her eyes, only a remarkable clarity.

Especially when she glanced at the halted hand, and watched as it resumed patting her shoulder, Qi Wei’s eyes showed a hint of doubt.

However, when she turned her head slightly, hadn’t Xiaoji Knife Man also noticed her?

At this moment, Xiaoji Knife Man sighed in his heart: "Why pretend to be in a ghost story? Sis, you have feelings, I have intentions, nothing in this world can stand in our way..."

At this moment, Xiaoji Knife Man revealed his most genuine self.

He knew he was deceiving her.

But he was also very aware that he never actually deceived anyone.

Because every time he approached someone with a purpose, he’d find himself caught up too.

Of course, he’d never tell Chen Xiao them this again in the future.

Because even if he did, Chen Xiao and the others wouldn’t believe it.

Whether it’s Sister Yuling or Sister Aili, even now Sister Qi Wei.

As long as they’re willing, Xiaoji Knife Man swore he would treat them well!

Yes... Xiaoji Knife Man had silently sworn in his heart!

However, he still remembered the task Chen Xiao had given him, though now wasn’t a good time to act on it.

Xiaoji Knife Man quietly comforted Qi Wei.

The wine in the glasses continued to flow more freely.

The originally tightly leaning Qi Wei unexplainably moved a bit.

Such actions, to Xiaoji Knife Man who understood women’s hearts, he knew were instinctive signals.

Xiaoji Knife Man didn’t utter a word, just looked at Qi Wei straight in the eyes.

Their gazes silently intertwined.

.........

But when Qi Wei leaned against Xiaoji Knife Man, seemingly exhausted, she suddenly asked weakly:

"Little brother, who exactly are you?"

Originally rummaging through his clothes for a cigarette, Xiaoji Knife Man paused abruptly.

Yet he didn’t hesitate, "I’m just a Dongzhou person."

In his arms, a bitter smile appeared on Qi Wei’s lips, "You really went all out, even putting your life on the line?"

"My life wasn’t supposed to be this way, but later a person almost changed it for me, so now I’m always working for them. That person, he is..."

Qi Wei reached out to cover his mouth and gently said:

"You don’t need to say it out loud, I already know who he is. But, you could actually deny it, aren’t you afraid I’ll settle the score with you later if you tell the truth now?"

"Human feelings are a very special thing, I can’t quite explain it. But he once told me, the killer move in human relationships is honesty."

"Feelings? Honesty? We’ve only known each other for how long, do you think I’d believe it?"

"If you were my age, would you believe it?"

Qi Wei clearly got stumped by this question, she looked into Xiaoji Knife Man’s eyes and finally said:

"You guy, to a woman my age, you’re really..."

Xiaoji Knife Man didn’t let her finish either.

But when Qi Wei completely slumped afterward, Xiaoji Knife Man began to speak:

"Sis, since you’re being honest with me now, I also want to know, what really happened with your husband’s death?"

Qi Wei shook her head, "I was very surprised, even when I first heard the news, I thought it was impossible."

"Are you saying it has nothing to do with you?"

"Both of us were in Li Hai, but in reality, he hadn’t been home for over a year. I had no interest in his matters; what he does outside has nothing to do with me."

"Little brother, that statement you made earlier was very true. Honesty between people is the killer move. Now, to be honest, I truly have no idea about his death, and it has nothing to do with me, but..."

Xiaoji Knife Man asked, "But what?"

"He went to Qingxi to look for traces of Chen Xiao, and I also came to Dongzhou once! Because of Chen Xiao, our Qi family suffered greatly. I wasn’t curious about what Zuo Shu was doing, but as a member of the Qi Family, I was immensely curious about Chen Xiao."

"So where did you go!"
