506 Chapter 507 Zhang Mingjie’s Request
Oh no…
My original intention was to prevent Wang Jie from intervening in Sister Tiger’s private life. But now it seemed that everyone, including Sister Tiger, all misunderstood my meaning…
But now was not the time to explain it. I had to pretend that I couldn’t see the questioning eyes of Liusu and Ziyuan.
Seeing Zhang Mingjie with a bruised nose and a swollen face standing up with the help of other people, I added another sentence, “Also, that last kick just now. I did it for Mr. Zhang…” In fact, because Dong Xiaoye pulled me in time, I missed my kick, but I doubt Zhang Mingjie saw it…
Zhang Mingjie knew that what I was doing was to save his face in front of everyone. He nodded gratefully to me, took the napkin handed over to him by the people around him, and wiped the blood coming out of his nose. Then he threw the blood-covered napkin onto Wang Jie’s face, sneering, “I don’t care what kind of background you have. I won’t let you go easily.”
Everyone could feel a chill rushing down their spine. Zhang Mingjie’s calmness at the moment was proof that he was extremely angry.
…
Dong Xiaoye’s mission was to be my ‘girlfriend’ and watch over me. She had no right to restrict my personal freedom. On the contrary, she had to integrate into my life completely and naturally. Whether it was to be my girlfriend or my lover, the more devoted she was to her mission and the more realistic her performance was, Xu Heng or the guys who tried to find Xu Heng through me would not suspect that the police had been secretly watching over me. It would be the best that the whole world knew about it. In this way, the police would have the opportunity to lure those people out and turn a passive situation into an active situation.
Therefore, Sister Tiger and I didn’t violate any rules when we appeared in the movie theater together and announced our relationship publicly. In fact, it would help the police even more. The entire police department, including Lin Zhi, felt that this accident was actually a good thing and it did more good than harm.
To them, my relationship with Dong Xiaoye was already very unusual, so they didn’t take this accident seriously. Some of them even used it as a topic of conversation.
Everyone knew Wang Jie liked Dong Xiaoye, so when they talked about this accident, they always avoided him. Because of this, he didn’t know about this news until today. But during lunch today, this news finally couldn’t be hidden from him any longer.
According to what the middle-aged plainclothes policeman told Dong Xiaoye, Wang Jie didn’t eat anything during lunch. He just finished a whole bottle of vodka alone silently before he left. He had a feeling that Wang Jie was going to come to Fengchang to find me, so he quickly left the station, trying to stop him, but he still couldn’t stop him in the end…
Seeing the video provided by Zhang Mingjie of a drunk policeman going crazy in public, Lin Zhi almost exploded in anger. He threw a basin of cold water on Wang Jie who was sleeping on the chair in front of everyone, and roared at him in a voice that even shook the glass.
When I was at Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort, I felt that Lin Zhi was already dissatisfied with the way Wang Jie used to chase Dong Xiaoye. Especially when this guy always brought his personal affairs to work and had an almost morbid possessive desire for Dong Xiaoye. In a way, the reason why Lin Zhi wanted to assign Dong Xiaoye to stay with me was to keep Wang Jie away from her. To Lin Zhi, it would be great if we became real couples.
On the surface, I didn’t sue the police department because of Lin Zhi and Dong Xiaoye. But in fact, I just didn’t need to get involved anymore. After all, Zhang Mingjie would not let him go easily.
Liusu and Ziyuan jokingly said that I was getting other people to do the dirty work for me by deliberately dragging Zhang Mingjie into this matter, because I was afraid that I would directly confront Wang Jie, which would put Dong Xiaoye in a difficult position.
I could only smile bitterly at them after hearing this. I just wanted to teach Wang Jie a lesson. In terms of him beating up Zhang Mingjie, it had nothing to do with me. However, even if I explained it to them, they wouldn’t believe me. After all, my image in their minds had now been reduced to a bad guy completely.
Before leaving the police station, I wanted to let Zhang Mingjie know that we were leaving. He wanted to see how the police were going to settle this matter with him, but I didn’t want to stay here with him. When I approached him, he left his lawyer and the police aside, pulled me to a corner, and whispered, “I didn’t expect to meet such a guy at lunch… Mr. Chu, I will treat you to a meal another day. Today, if they don’t give me an explanation, I won’t leave. Damn it, I’m having such a bad day today…”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhang. That guy originally wanted to cause trouble to me, but I didn’t expect that it would implicate you. So the next meal will be my treat…”
“No, no,” Zhang Mingjie said with a serious face, “it’s not a question of who he caused trouble to, but where he caused this trouble. Yes, he did hit me. But what he hurt wasn’t just my face but also Fengchang’s image. It will affect the reputation of our company. As the marketing manager, I have the responsibility to ask for an explanation on behalf of the company.”
Although this wasn’t the real reason, Zhang Mingjie’s words also made some sense. The Fengchang Group wasn’t a small company after all. How could they allow someone to cause trouble to them in their headquarters for no reason? Not to mention that this someone was a policeman.
“But that’s not what I want to discuss with you, Mr. Chu.” Zhang Mingjie changed his tone and said, “Actually, I came to you at noon because I want to ask your opinion about something.”
“Oh?” I asked curiously, ” What is it?”
Zhang Mingjie hesitated, but eventually said, “I heard that… Mr. Liu will be discharged from the hospital this week, and then he will go directly to another city to recuperate for a while…”
“He had no choice.” Zhang Mingjie sneered and said, “Because of what happened to him, the Liu family gathered a group of Moon Valley Club members to put pressure on Miss Min, completely ruining their relationship with Miss Min. But who do they think Miss Min is? She is the person in charge of Moon Valley New Energy Limited, and a trusted friend of the Third Lady! After this big news broke out, do you think Mr. Liu can still stay in Bei Tian City?
“Now who doesn’t know that the Third Lady has a close relationship with you, Mr. Chu? But Mr. Liu actually wanted to get you killed… Now you can imagine the attitudes of those who want to curry favor with the Third Lady towards the Liu family, and the attitudes of those who offended Miss Min because of the Liu family towards you.
“Although you didn’t press charges against Mr. Liu, somehow, the news about this incident is still being spread around. So the pressure from the outside world that the Liu family is currently under can be imagined. It’s his family’s last resort to send him to another city for recuperation. In this way, his family would be able to keep him out of people’s attention, lest he could not handle the public criticisms well. So I want to visit him again before he leaves Bei Tian City, I don’t know if you…”
Zhang Mingjie coughed dryly and said, “I have absolutely no other intentions, I know I’m asking too much from you, Mr. Chu, so you can refuse. After all, everything that happened to him is his own fault. But… Mr. Chu, as his friend, I still hope you can pay him a visit.
“He wanted to hurt you, but in the end, he hurt himself and was saved by you. Although he didn’t say it, I could see that he felt very conflicted and regretful. Not only did he hurt himself, but he also hurt his family as well. As the saying goes, physical injury is easy to treat, but mind injury is difficult to heal. If he keeps having this kind of psychological trauma, it will have an impact on his recovery and even his future life.
“But you can help him, Mr. Chu. Even if you don’t like him, please help him for the sake of Liu Xingyu. He is her elder brother after all. If you go to see him, it also represents an attitude. If people see that you forgive the Liu family, those who go after them won’t be that aggressive anymore. For the Liu family, this is a huge favor. By that time, if you tell them that you helped them because of Mr. Guo, do you think they will continue to oppose her relationship with Mr. Guo?”
This guy actually used Guo Xiang and Xingyu to persuade me.
Zhang Mingjie misunderstood my silence, and hurriedly said, “Mr. Chu, if the Liu family’s life is hard, then Miss Liu’s life will not be happy. After all, the wolf that Mr. Liu originally prepared was for Guo Xiang, and the reason for doing that was because Miss Liu didn’t like her marriage arrangement and insisted on being with Guo Xiang. So what do you think will happen to her?”
This guy said as if the wolf’s existence was a matter of course And as if it was not okay for Liu Xiaosheng to harm me, but it was okay to harm Guo Xiang? However, some of his logic still made sense. It was understandable that the Liu family would get angry at Xingyu.
Seeing that I had a look of approval, Zhang Mingjie said happily, “Thank you, Mr. Chu. Actually, I’ve also heard Peiwen say that you and the daughter of the Xiao family are very close, so you should know that Miss Liu and Miss Xiao have been good friends since childhood…”
It seemed that Zhang Mingjie did a lot of homework in order to convince me to visit Liu Xiaosheng…
“I didn’t expect Mr. Zhang to be such a loyal friend…” My surprise was not fake. I always felt that Zhang Mingjie’s friendship with Liu Xiaosheng was a combination of interests. Was it because I had a prejudice against them?
For Liu Xiaosheng’s sake, Zhang Mingjie actually didn’t hesitate to give up the Zhang family’s position and helped Guo Xiang to fulfill his wish of being together with Xingyu. If it was really a friendship, it would make me feel ashamed of myself… However, was that really friendship?
“You are flattering me,” Zhang Mingjie was a little embarrassed, “Mr. Liu is a smart and talented young man. He has taken the role of the head of the Liu family at a very young age, and has numerous great achievements. This is worthy of people’s admiration.
“But his shortcomings are also very obvious too. After hearing too much flattery, it is inevitable that he will become a little bit arrogant. The strong sense of superiority makes his character a little distorted. He always thinks that everyone else is a chess piece on a chessboard, and only he can control the overall situation. Frankly speaking, I am not that close to him, because in his eyes, I am just a pawn too. However, although he treats me that way, I can’t do the same thing to him. After all, we have known each other for many years, and now he’s become like this… I can’t bring myself to kick someone when he is down, and see him become more and more depressed. It would make me feel very guilty. So if I can help him, I still want to help him.”
Although Zhang Mingjie’s eyes were sincere, it was still difficult for me to feel moved, because I always felt that the Zhang Mingjie in my memory wouldn’t say such touching words…
