Chapter 1195: We're in the Right

“Can manage…”

Yaen Chi knocked her on the forehead across the table, “Don’t think just because we’re in different cities, I’m not going to mind your business.

Especially this time, since I happened to witness it myself.

Get a more stable job and make sure you’re back at the dorm on time every night.”

Ye Wanting nodded obediently.

She didn’t say anything, but Yaen Chi insisted she respond, asking, “Did you hear me?”

“I-I heard.” She was like a child getting scolded by a parent for doing something wrong.

Yaen Chi usually had a laid-back attitude, but when he got serious, he was more intimidating than anyone.

She didn’t dare to say anything else.

Besides, the night’s ordeal had scared her too.

Yaen Chi’s phone rang.

He glanced at it, and after saying a couple of words, he looked at Ye Wanting and handed the phone to her.

“A friend from the police station is handling your case and wants to ask you some questions.

Just be honest.”

As soon as Ye Wanting heard this, she immediately straightened up and looked at the phone properly, saying, “Hello.”

“Hello, young lady.”

The voice on the other end had a hint of laughter right from the start.

Ye Wanting was a bit taken aback and instinctively looked at Yaen Chi.

Yaen Chi coughed.

The person on the phone spoke again, much more formally, “Hello, I’m Du Junfeng, the director of Xu District Central, here to understand some details from you.”

Ye Wanting composed herself, “Okay, please ask.”

Du Junfeng asked according to procedure, covering all the key points.

Ye Wanting told him everything, and in the end, Du Junfeng said, “Got it.

We’ll keep you updated.”

“Brother Chi, I wasn’t overstepping, right?

You heard everything; I didn’t scare her, did I?”

Seemingly aware the call was on speaker from the beginning.

Yaen Chi’s expression didn’t change, “Rare for you to act human, I’ll treat you to a drink next time.”

“Sure, I wouldn’t miss a drink from Brother Chi.

Just don’t forget me.”

“Enough with the flattery, handle the case.”

Yaen Chi ended the call.

When he looked up, Ye Wanting still maintained that posture, which amused him.

“Relax a bit, he’s my friend.

He’s just like that—I told him in advance not to tease you.”

Ye Wanting blinked, “If he’s your friend, won’t there be any bias in handling the case?”

Yaen Chi laughed, “No, business is business, personal is personal.

He’s notoriously just and fair, don’t worry.

We’re in the right, he’ll handle it impartially.

Any compensation you’re owed won’t be missed.”

And if there is, he’d sue, all the way.

Ye Wanting breathed a sigh of relief, but then her spirits sank, “I’m troubling you again.”

Yaen Chi got up, ruffled her hair, “Let’s go.”

Ye Wanting glanced up at him as he headed to the door to scan and pay.

She stood up, took the packaged mushroom noodles from the staff, and also picked up a serving of beef offal from next door.

When they reached the entrance of the hospital, Yaen Chi stopped, “You take the stuff up, I won’t go in.

I’ll wait here for you.”

“Okay.”

Ye Wanting walked to the stairs, then suddenly came back, shoved something into his hand, and then ran off, saying as she ran, “It’s for your digestion, you should drink it, it’s really good.”

Yaen Chi pointed at her, “Watch where you’re going.”

Only then did Ye Wanting turn her head around, slowing down her pace as she approached the stairs.

Yaen Chi looked down at the bottle of lactic acid drink in his hand, wiped his nose with his hand, chuckled softly, “It’s kid’s stuff again.”

But this time, he didn’t mind the sweetness and unscrewed the cap to drink a few big gulps.
