Chapter 147: Chapter 147 So don’t feel too much pressure because I saved you

Zhang Guochao wanted to snatch the documents but was held down by the police, unable to move.

Qiao Xi hadn’t expected this matter to be related to Jian Yi, and she pursed her lips, "Thank you, Brother Chao."

"We’re friends, no need to thank me. Besides, Ah Dang found this evidence, I was just running the errand for him."

Sheng Chao was investigating Zhang Guochao, while Shen Dang focused his attention on Jian Yi.

"Him?"

Sheng Chao looked towards Qiao Xi, "Xixi, we really owe this one to Ah Dang."

Qiao Xi nodded, "Yes, I understand."

Qiao Xi walked up to Wei Xue, "Speak, what is your relationship with Zhang Guochao and why were you blocking me and delaying time?"

She couldn’t believe Wei Xue would do this without reason late at night.

Wei Xue’s eyes shifted dodgily; she had spent a night at the police station, appearing especially disheveled.

Looking at Qiao Xi’s notably beautiful face, besides jealousy, Wei Xue felt a tinge of inferiority.

It was a disparity that immediately evoked a sense of disgrace.

"Teacher Qiao, I was just coming back from the convenience store last night when I ran into you, it’s not like what you said."

She was still stubborn at this point.

Qiao Xi flipped her hair, sneering, "Then should I check the surveillance to see if you were specifically waiting there for me? It would all come out once we check it, wouldn’t it?"

"I..."

"Tell the truth."

Qiao Xi cast down her long lashes, and the chill in her eyes made Wei Xue feel somewhat frightened.

Thinking of the Sheng Chao behind her, and the man from that night, Wei Xue hastily confessed.

"No, no, it really has nothing to do with me. Someone from the production crew had me find an excuse to take you out, he forced me, he threatened me, I had no choice, and I didn’t take you away, did I?"

"As for the person who wanted to harm you last night, I really don’t know him! You can investigate this!"

How did things turn out this way?

Their plan was not supposed to be like this.

It seems Jian Yi even bribed someone in the production crew?

Qiao Xi squinted her eyes, her face revealing a touch of chill, "Who is this person you mentioned?"

"I don’t know him."

"Did you see him in the production crew yesterday?"

"I didn’t see him, his face was very unfamiliar!" Wei Xue frowned, "He just forced me to take you away from the hotel, nothing else to do with me, I haven’t done anything else, can I go now?"

Such an idiot.

Qiao Xi now understood that Wei Xue was just being used by others.

She replied coldly, "You should ask the police about that."

...

Hai City.

Jian Yi was still waiting for news from Zhang Guochao, but a whole night passed without any information.

Jian Yi might have realized something went wrong.

She was nervous but not scared, for she knew that person would not rat her out.

Qiao Xi wouldn’t know it was her.

She had been released from her contract with GK, originally from advertising and now almost no endorsements coming her way.

Seeing Qiao Xi’s new movie release receiving massive acclaim twisted Jian Yi’s mind.

She could have transitioned from being an advertising darling to an actress, if not for GK terminating her contract and blacklisting her.

Why should Qiao Xi still get to live well when she was struggling so?

She was determined to ruin Qiao Xi!

The doorbell suddenly rang, startling Jian Yi. She walked to the door and peered through the peephole but saw no one.

Finding it strange, she opened the door, and several police officers burst in as soon as the door was unlocked.

"What are you doing?" Jian Yi stepped back, nervous, "It’s illegal to enter a residence without permission!"

The police handcuffed her, "Jian Yi, we suspect you’re involved in a case, please come with us for an investigation."

"I’m not going!" Jian Yi struggled fiercely, "You must be mistaken, this has nothing to do with me!"

Jian Yi was taken to the Hai City division.

In the hospital, Shen Dang received a phone call.

"President Shen, Jian Yi has already been taken away by the police."

"Okay," Shen Dang replied nonchalantly as he squinted his dark eyes, "Keep a close watch on her, she’s the mastermind, we can’t let her slip away."

"Yes!"

Qiao Xi pushed the door open, Sheng Chao followed behind.

Shen Dang glanced at Qiao Xi, then asked Sheng Chao, "How did it go?"

"She confessed everything," Sheng Chao said, "Xixi, take good care of him, I’ll leave now."

Qiao Xi raised her eyes, "Are you going back to Hai City?"

"No, going to pick up my wife from the production crew."

Sheng Chao left with a smile lingering in his eyes.

Qiao Xi: "..."

After Sheng Chao left, Bei Bei popped his head in, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Qiao Xi, "Sister Xi, Boss Shen, it’s almost noon, I’ll go grab some food to bring back, what do you want to eat?"

Qiao Xi said, "Something light is fine."

"Okay, I’ll be off then!"

Bei Bei closed the door.

Shen Dang watched her sit back on the sofa by the window, her long hair spread out, exhibiting a cool color.

"Eating light has left me feeling bland."

Qiao Xi coldly chuckled, "You’re an adult, shouldn’t you be following the doctor’s advice?"

"It really feels awful."

"You’ll have to endure it!"

"Okay." Shen Dang paused and then made a comment that irked Qiao Xi even more, "Teacher Qiao really lacks empathy."

Qiao Xi’s smile turned colder, "I’m doing this for your own good!"

She instantly regretted her words.

What had she just said?

For his good?

Qiao Xi, you really have the nerve!

Just as Qiao Xi was about to explain what she meant, Shen Dang spoke before she could: "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

Qiao Xi: "!!!"

Since you’re going to listen, why all the fuss?

I should have just kept quiet in the first place!

Qiao Xi looked down at her phone and ignored him.

Shen Dang leaned back on the bed, aimlessly watching Qiao Xi.

Even without looking at him, Qiao Xi could feel his gaze.

The presence of that gaze was so compelling, she couldn’t ignore it even if she wanted to.

Qiao Xi turned her head to look at him; Shen Dang continued to watch her unabashedly.

Their gazes met in mid-air.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, her tone slightly uneasy, "Shen Dang, about last night, I really want to thank you."

"Never mind," Shen Dang responded nonchalantly. "Even if it were someone else, I wouldn’t have stood idly by."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Shen Dang chuckled lightly, casually saying, "So, don’t feel too pressured just because I saved you."

When dealing with Qiao Xi, one mustn’t rush, just subtly draw her in like slowly boiling a frog.

If Shen Dang were a hunter, he’d undoubtedly be an excellent one, leaving no chance for escape to his prey.

Qiao Xi’s fingers clenched around the phone, pretending there was no pressure, but was there really none?

She hummed softly, "Did you tell your mother about this?"

"No, it’s nothing major, I didn’t want to worry her, so I didn’t mention it."

"Oh."

Shen Dang smiled, "Do you want me to tell her?"

Qiao Xi looked at him, blinked, and remained silent.
