Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me

504 Chapter 505

Zhang Mingjie sat down under the surprised eyes of Liusu, Sister Tiger, and others. "Mr. Chu, I'd like to pay for this meal, I hope you wouldn't mind it."

"Why would I?" If I could save money for Brother Wei, why would I refuse it? I picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "I will use tea instead of wine to thank Mr. Zhang. And I'm also looking forward to working with you in the future."

Regarding this work, Zhang Mingjie and I both knew what it was. So an expression of joy immediately appeared on his face when he heard what I said. "Thank you, Mr. Chu, you have helped me a lot this time. I'm very grateful for what you did for me, but there has been no chance for me to formally thank you. Mr. Chu, when you are free, I'd like to invite you to dinner and properly thank you."

Regarding our status, Zhang Mingjie was obviously higher than me. So for him to talk to me in such a sycophantic manner, I should feel flattered. However, I just couldn't help feeling annoyed.

"There's no need for that. I didn't do anything after all. Besides, the final decision will not be made by me..."

"You are too humble, Mr. Chu. I know you did a lot. So no matter what the result is, I'll not forget your kindness."

What he said sounded very nice, but when Mo Yizhi really opposed him in joining Project Thirteen Cities, I doubted he would still feel grateful towards me.

"It's just for mutual benefits, so you don't have to thank me. Actually, Mr. Zhang, you've lost far more than you've gained." Although I was polite towards Zhang Mingjie, it didn't mean that I would be friends with him. I must keep my distance from him. Zhang Mingjie and I were not friends in the past, and will not be friends in the future either.

"I understand, I understand..." Zhang Mingjie sighed artificially, as if it was a pity that our positions would never overlap, and then smiled. "Come, Mr. Chu, let's drink this toast."

Others didn't understand what we were talking about, but they knew that I didn't seem to want to drive Zhang Mingjie away. Brother Wei coughed dryly and said, "In that case, I'll order two more dishes."

As soon as Brother Wei turned around, he bumped into a man. The man rudely pushed Brother Wei away, then glared at me murderously.

Fortunately, Qin Lan held Brother Wei in time, or else he would definitely fall. Yang Wei was already a little angry because of Zhang Mingjie's appearance. This time, he could not hold back his anger anymore. Without looking at the size of the other party, he rushed up and grabbed the man by his collar. "What the hell is wrong with you? Are you blind?!"

The kind-hearted middle-aged man who followed behind the strong man quickly pulled Brother Wei away and kept apologizing, "Brother, I'm sorry, he didn't pay attention, are you hurt?"

He then turned around and grabbed the strong man's arm again while frowning. "Xiao Wang, listen to me. If you think there's a problem, you can report it to the bureau. Don't cause any troubles here. If Captain Lin knows about this, you will definitely be suspended."

The appearance of this burly man was far more surprising to me than Zhang Mingjie's uninvited arrival. After all, Zhang Mingjie and I work in the same building, but the man in front of me...

But the person who was most surprised was not me—it was Dong Xiaoye. Sister Tiger jumped up from her seat and said angrily, "Wang Jie, what are you doing here in Fengchang?!"

Hearing Dong Xiaoye call out the person's name, Brother Wei immediately remembered who the person was, "Oh, you're the policeman who came to our company to investigate Gong Fanlin's case last week. Why are you here? Did you catch Gong Fanlin?" Brother Wei made no attempt to hide his mocking expression and ridiculed the police's incompetence.

"Get out of the way. It's none of your business." Wang Jie's face was very red and his whole body reeked of alcohol. He probably had drunk a lot of alcohol just now. He pushed Brother Wei again, sending Brother Wei four or five meters away. Then his hands grabbed my shoulders tightly like pliers and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chu, I have something to ask you about Gong Fanlin's case. Please come to a quiet place with me, and let's have a good talk."

Talk? What's there to talk about? It's a very simple case, and you had spent a whole day interrogating me last night, so what else is unclear? The only thing you don't understand is probably my relationship with Dong Xiaoye...

Looking at Wang Jie's angry expression as if he wanted to beat me up in some remote corner, I immediately figured out why he wanted to talk to me. I simply sneered and ignored him.

To be honest, I disliked this guy very much. If it weren't for him being Dong Xiaoye's colleague and I didn't want to put Dong Xiaoye in a difficult position, I would've already filed a complaint against him.

Seeing me ignoring him, Wang Jie became even more angry, "Chu Nan! What's with your attitude?!"

Dong Xiaoye pushed Wang Jie's hands away, stood in front of me, then angrily said, "Wang Jie! What's with your attitude?!"

"What's with my attitude? It's the attitude of handling the case seriously and meticulously!" Wang Jie responded sharply, his tone was filled with mockery. "It's much better than some people who cannot tell what's the mission and what's not!"

Dong Xiaoye was both angry and embarrassed, "Wang Jie, what do you mean by that?!"

"What do I mean? You can read the news yourself!"

"I don't need to! I know what I should do and how I should do it better than you!"

"What you should do? Of course you know. To make what's fake real, right?"

"You—" Dong Xiaoye blushed, not knowing how to respond for a while.

How was this guy a man? Not to mention that Dong Xiaoye's task was to pretend to be my girlfriend and protect me closely, even if she became my real girlfriend, it had nothing to do with him. Hearing him mocking Dong Xiaoye, I subconsciously reached out my hand and grabbed the teapot on the table in front of me...

The middle-aged policeman in plainclothes persuaded, "Xiaoye, please don't keep it in mind. During lunch, Xiao Wang overheard colleagues talking about you and Mr. Chu, so he drank a little..."

Hearing this, Liusu finally knew Wang Jie's purpose of looking for me. She didn't know that Wang Jie liked Dong Xiaoye before, so she was somewhat surprised.

As for Ziyuan, she was a bit dense in this regard and she didn't watch the news, so she still didn't know what happened; she could only see that Wang Jie was very hostile towards me. "Officer, if you have anything to ask him, you can just ask him here. Why do you treat the victim the same way you treat a suspect?"

Wang Jie looked at Ziyuan up and down. His unbridled gaze almost made me lose control of my temper. Then I suddenly heard him sneer, "Chu Nan, is that all you can do? Hiding behind women and letting them protect you? Where is the manly spirit you showed when you were in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort? If you are still a man, let's go outside!"

"I finally figured out what's going on," Zhang Mingjie said before I had a chance to respond to Wang Jie. He got up and said lightly to Wang Jie, "You've drunk too much and came to our company to make trouble. This is going to be very easy. Yang Wei, go and notify the security department. Tell them that if they don't want to lose their jobs, come here immediately and drag this mad dog outside."

Wang Jie already couldn't think rationally because of alcohol. When he heard those words, he instantly raised his thick eyebrows. And in a deep and low voice that was almost inaudible, he said, "Who are you calling a mad dog?"

Hearing Wang Jie asking him in a low voice, Zhang Mingjie thought he was scared. He couldn't help chuckling and continued to mock Wang Jie, "Whoever doesn't understand what I just said."

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Jie's fist was thrown at Zhang Mingjie's handsome face. Before Zhang Mingjie could scream, his body had already flown out sideways.

Brother Wei was such a mean person. Not only did he not hold Zhang Mingjie in time to stop him from falling, he actually swiftly moved a step away, letting Zhang Mingjie fell heavily to the ground. And under the action of inertia, Zhang Mingjie even rolled all the way under the table...

Everyone was stunned. Dong Xiaoye and the middle-aged plainclothes policeman were even more shocked. As a policeman, Wang Jie actually beat up a 'good' citizen in public.

Zhang Mingjie was also asking for it. He clearly knew that Wang Jie was drunk, but he still wanted to provoke him. But anyway, when Wang Jie was mocking Dong Xiaoye, I already decided to stop holding back. Now that he had beaten Zhang Mingjie, I had no reason to remain silent.

"Officer Wang, if you are here to find out more information about the case, I have nothing to say to you. But if you are here to ask about my relationship with Xiaoye, who are you to her that I need to tell you what our relationship is?" After saying this, I pulled Dong Xiaoye behind me.

Maybe this behavior provoked Wang Jie even more. Seeing me holding Dong Xiaoye's hand, he was even more furious.

I never liked people like him, and now I felt even more disgusted. If it weren't for him to always use this method to intimidate the men who approached Dong Xiaoye, Dong Xiaoye would've probably already found a boyfriend now.

Thinking of this, I couldn't hold back and added, "If you're here to pick a fight with me, just say it. I'm happy to fight you. But there's something I must tell you, I will never hide behind a woman, and I don't need a woman's protection. I'm not afraid of you. I'm simply trying to tolerate your actions. There is only one reason—it's just because you and Xiaoye work in the same place, and I don't want to put her in a difficult position. You'd better figure this out before you talk shit about me."

Wang Jie's face was livid. "What do you mean?!"

"I mean, a scumbag, who uses all kinds of dirty tricks to pursue a woman and stalks a woman after being clearly rejected, doesn't really deserve much of my attention." I sneered in disdain and sighed, "Nowadays, there are even scumbags wearing police uniforms."
