Chapter 114: Chapter 114
Tian Xiang couldn’t believe how strong her mental resilience was, managing to guide and comfort the person in front of her under such circumstances.
Though she appeared calm and collected, her entire back was soaked with sweat.
Tian Xiang blinked her beautiful big eyes.
Meng Cheng’an reached out and touched her face, smiling, "But I’m angry, not happy."
Tian Xiang tutted, "What’s there to be angry about? He’s nothing, hasn’t affected our relationship, or taken me away. What are you angry about? You’re stuck in a dead end now, unable to get out."
As for being unhappy...
Tian Xiang stood up, pulled his hand, and said, "Let’s go watch a movie."
Meng Cheng’an looked at her, "Are you serious?"
"Of course, I’m serious." Tian Xiang proudly patted her chest, "My treat."
Meng Cheng’an was pulled by her and stood up, gazing warmly at the person in front of him, leaning in to kiss her.
Why would Tian Xiang refuse, she leaned in directly, and as there was no one around, they pressed against the wall and kissed for quite a while.
After nearly two months of dating, they were no longer just pecking faces when they kissed, some things didn’t need to be taught, they learned naturally, mastering both deep and shallow kisses.
Meng Cheng’an was particularly excited and passionate today, his hands became restless for the first time, though he only dared to squeeze Tian Xiang’s waist, not daring to go further.
After they had kissed enough, Tian Xiang looked at his forehead, and the words "rage" had disappeared.
Alas, after saying so much, intimacy turned out to be the most effective.
Tian Xiang: "Release Zhou Ming."
Tian Xiang and Meng Cheng’an had already bought tickets and were waiting for the next movie.
Under a dirt wall in the abandoned factory area, Zhou Ming woke up dazedly, touched the huge lump on the back of his head, and looked around bewilderedly.
What happened to him?
How did he end up here?
Leaning against the wall, Zhou Ming stood up and suddenly remembered.
Oh right, on his way back earlier, he passed by the alley in the settlement area and was whacked over the head by someone!
Damn, damn, damn, who was it! Such guts, committing crime in broad daylight.
Zhou Ming was unsettled, seriously recalling, and eventually suspecting Meng Cheng’an.
It’s him, it’s him, definitely him.
Besides him, Zhou Ming hadn’t offended anyone else!
Broken-hearted and retaliated upon, Zhou Ming couldn’t bear it, turned up a bicycle nearby and went to the largest police station in Red Fifth Street to report the crime.
He had been hit, although he hadn’t seen anything, this person was definitely Meng Cheng’an.
The young officer receiving him frowned, "Why is it Meng Cheng’an again!"
Zhou Ming was a bit puzzled, "What did you say?"
The young officer shook his head, "It’s nothing. You said you had a feud with him, what kind of feud?"
Zhou Ming pursed his lips, "We both fell in love with the same girl."
Young officer: "Tell me about the girl."
Zhou Ming: "Do I need to say that too?"
"Of course, later we’ll need to verify the situation with her, we can’t just listen to you!"
Zhou Ming: "She’s from the Mechanical Factory..."
Zhou Ming quickly shared information about Tian Xiang.
The young officer nodded, closed the notebook, "Alright, you can leave now, we’ll inform you if there’s any update."
Zhou Ming left the interrogation room somewhat dejectedly, and in the resting area by the entrance, he saw Lu Weihua.
This man was discharged!
What’s he doing at the police station?
Zhou Ming didn’t bother with it; he knew Lu Weihua but they were not close.
Lu Weihua also saw Zhou Ming and was equally puzzled, what was this fool doing here?
Just then, the young officer came out and gestured Lu Weihua over.
"We’ve checked the situation you reported earlier, there are no signs of tampering with your car. This thing should be an accident, don’t wrongly accuse people, it isn’t right."
"How’s it framing people?" Lu Weihua was not convinced, "I saw him there at the time, just looking indifferently, doing nothing. It must be him, trying to kill me!"
Lu Weihua fell into the river last time, swallowed water, got rescued and hospitalized for a week with a fever and cough, only recently felt a bit better.
During those days in the hospital, he was plagued by nightmares, always dreaming of the scene of falling into the water. He remembered it too, that indifferent passerby was indeed Meng Cheng’an!
No wonder it felt familiar.
Thinking he almost died, Lu Weihua went to report the matter as soon as he was discharged.
Police station recorded a statement, asked about the situation, but after investigating for days, claimed it was nothing, the front wheel fell off due to an accident.
The young officer saw Lu Weihua was fixated on blaming someone, frowned, "He wasn’t indifferent, he can’t swim, didn’t he later call for help? How can you repay kindness with hostility."
They had already investigated this matter, found it unrelated to Meng Cheng’an.
Lu Weihua: "He committed it, surely wouldn’t confess!"
The young officer was speechless, "There is no evidence proving he tampered with your bike; if you don’t believe it, think again and provide other clues."
Lu Weihua: "Did you find the wheel of my bike?"
If traces of tampering on the bike could be found, it would explain the issue.
Unfortunately, things were chaotic at the time; after being rescued, sent directly to the hospital, the broken bicycle was found at a nearby household, only a bike frame, front wheel missing.
The household claimed to have picked up the frame, hadn’t seen the front wheel.
The police assumed the front wheel probably fell into the river.
Impossible to dredge a wheel just based on groundless assumptions!
The young officer: "If you have time, go look for it, and directly inform us if you find clues."
This was clearly placation.
Lu Weihua left the police station, feeling utterly disheartened.
Inside, the young officer reported to the Director, wrapping up Lu Weihua’s minor case.
While the Director signed, the young officer thought and mentioned Zhou Ming’s recent report.
The Director asked, "Just a slapstick? Was it severe?"
The young officer said, "He claimed he was knocked unconscious, but hasn’t gone to the hospital immediately, should be fine."
The Director nodded, thought and said, "You can ask about this, but don’t spend too much time on it. I think he’s unknowingly offended some local punks and got hit.
Since he didn’t see who did it, it’s hard to handle. Just comfort him, but the flour mill theft case should be expedited, it’s important before the new year, it’s getting a lot of attention from above."
After the young officer left, the Director leaned back against the chair pondering.
His old man left long ago, might return before the year-end.
There was previously no news, seemed difficult to manage, but this time brought much good news, seemed stable...
