Chapter 71 - 71 71 The Following

71: Chapter 71: The Following 71: Chapter 71: The Following “I’m certain they had advance notice.

We caught them completely off guard when we showed up there.”

Lying on the hospital bed, Chen Qi’s pretty face regained some color but she was still weak.

Losing face was secondary; someone must take responsibility for this incident, and if things don’t go well, even Xie Songqing’s position could be at risk.

If this matter isn’t resolved quickly, Xie Songqing faced a high probability of being made the scapegoat.

“Just rest up, and don’t worry about work.

I’ll definitely sort this out for you whatever it takes.

I still have to visit the families of those six brothers who died, I’ll come to see you again when I have time.”

With that, Xie Songqing stood up to leave.

Chen Qi struggled to sit up, her lips parting slightly, “Chief Xie—”

“That’s enough, I know what you’re going to say.

A little thing like this can’t knock down your Uncle Xie.

But you, girl, finding a boyfriend and not telling me about it.

If I hadn’t come to the hospital to see you this time, who knows how much longer you’d have kept me in the dark.”

Xie Songqing and Chen Qi’s father were comrades-in-arms, and at this moment, he set aside his concerns, teasing her with a smile, “Last time I had a drink with your dad, your dad asked me to find you a husband as soon as possible.

I had no idea you already had a boyfriend.

You’re not getting any younger; I think Lin is quite a spirited young man.

You must temper your temper a bit, try to get along well with him, and aim to get registered and married soon.”

“What boyfriend, what Lin?

Uncle Xie, what on earth are you talking about?”

Chen Qi’s pretty face turned crimson.

She never expected the usually stern and authoritative Xie Songqing to joke like this.

“It’s rare for you to blush, seems like you’ve really fallen in love.

My old comrade-in-arms can finally let go of one of his worries now.”

Chen Qi is undoubtedly beautiful, but her fiery temper has been an issue.

Now in her mid-to-late twenties, she doesn’t have a proper partner.

Due to Chen Qi’s marriage concerns, her father had talked to Xie Songqing about it plenty of times.

Xie Songqing had even tried setting Chen Qi up with some men within the police system, but her notorious temper was well known throughout the Zhonghai police.

Once people heard the matchmaking was with Chief Chen’s daughter, many detectives backed out without even meeting her.

Xie Songqing had also tried introducing Chen Qi to outstanding young men from other sectors, but none could withstand her “tyranny,” and Chen Qi herself was also very resistant to the idea of blind dates.

Xie Songqing had troubled his mind over Chen Qi’s marriage prospects quite a bit.

But then, the hospital’s doctor told Xie Songqing that Lin Fei was the family member who had brought Chen Qi to the hospital, which was the only piece of good news Xie Songqing had heard in hours.

Xie Songqing was well aware of Chen Qi’s family situation; she was an only child, so there was no possibility of a brother or anything like that.

Since Lin Fei claimed to be Chen Qi’s family member, in Xie Songqing’s view, Lin Fei must naturally be Chen Qi’s boyfriend.

And from Xie Songqing’s probing, Lin Fei also introduced himself as Chen Qi’s friend, which solidified Xie Songqing’s suspicions even more.

…

“Lin, what nonsense did you tell my Uncle Xie, believe it or not I’ll tear that lying mouth of yours?!”

After Xie Songqing left, Chen Qi, with a flushed face, quickly figured out who Xie Songqing’s ‘Lin’ was, and immediately phoned Lin Fei, ready to question him.

Lin Fei was on his way to Mu Group, and when he suddenly received a call from Chen Qi, he thought maybe she wanted to thank him for saving her life yesterday and taking care of her late into the night.

But as soon as he answered the call, Chen Qi’s questioning roar came through.

Through that voice, Lin Fei could even surmise that Chen Qi was absolutely furious, a look of murder on her pretty face.

“Are you out of your mind?

I don’t even know who this Uncle Xie of yours is, what could I possibly say to him?

I think those drug dealers from last night must have damaged your brain too.”

Though Chen Qi’s tone was filled with anger, judging from her voice, she was definitely out of immediate danger.

At this point, Lin Fei lost any inclination to be polite with Chen Qi and retorted without mercy.

After all, Lin Fei had saved Chen Qi’s life.

Not to mention staying with her the whole night, he had even lost a Ferrari.

Though somewhat damaged, it was still a sports car after all.

Considering Chen Qi’s severe injuries and unconscious state, Lin Fei wasn’t planning on settling these accounts with her.

Unexpectedly, instead of being grateful, Chen Qi was calling him to make accusations.

This was just a phone call; if she had been in front of Lin Fei, he might have even slapped her on the butt by now.

If Chen Qi knew that Lin Fei was harboring such thoughts, she would probably hang up the phone immediately, disregard her weak post-surgery condition, and rush over to fight with Lin Fei straight away.

“You—” Chen Qi was so choked up by Lin Fei’s words she nearly passed out and almost smashed her phone in frustration.

If anyone eavesdropped on their call at this moment, they would be befuddled by Lin Fei’s words, unable to understand their meaning.

But Chen Qi, being one of the parties involved, naturally understood all too well.

Not to say when Chen Qi was injured, even at her peak, she couldn’t have been a match for Lin Fei.

It was clear that Lin Fei overpowered her and pinned her down on the hospital bed.

But Chen Qi was also very stubborn and absolutely refused to forgive Lin Fei.

When she lost the fruit knife, she resorted to using her mouth to bite him.

Lin Fei was at fault in this incident, so he couldn’t really do anything to Chen Qi.

After much persuasion from Lin Fei, Chen Qi finally gave up on the idea of turning Lin Fei into a eunuch for the time being.

However, Chen Qi made it clear that Lin Fei’s manhood was only temporarily entrusted to him.

If she ever got upset, she’d still take it off.

Dealing with a woman like Chen Qi left Lin Fei somewhat exasperated.

Back in the hospital, to prevent Chen Qi from getting agitated by this matter and harming her recovery, Lin Fei reluctantly agreed to what she said.

Even now that he had left the hospital, Lin Fei didn’t have any intention of going back on his word.

Want it?

Fine, but where it goes, that’s up to me to decide.
