Chapter 321: Chapter 321 - Meeting Dongli Shenghua Again

Jiaren Wu didn’t dare to look at Wei Shuyi any longer and quickly shifted her gaze away. To divert her attention, she asked Wei Shuyi, “Do you have any breakfast for me tomorrow morning?” She wasn’t just going to have breakfast early in the morning.

Wei Shuyi’s heart skipped a beat. He pretended to be cold and nodded. “I will make two portions.”

Nodding, Jiaren Wu entered the Public Security Bureau building without looking back.

Wei Shuyi drove off.

When he got home, he showered and slept. Everything seemed the same.

When Jiaren Wu returned to the office, she heard her colleagues teasing her. “You’ve been down for so long, Officer Wu. It’s been almost 40 minutes. Hehehe…”

Jiaren Wu picked up a document and threw it at the man. “Hehehe your head.”

Seeing that she was angry, everyone laughed even more unrestrainedly.

Jiaren Wu might seem like a loose person who liked to joke around, but she wasn’t actually a loose person. These people had worked with her for a long time and understood her temper. In the past, Jiaren Wu often teased them, but now it was finally their turn to laugh at her. How could they let her go?

Instantly, the office was in chaos.

***

The next morning at 8 am, Jiaren Wu got off work.

At this time, Wei Shuyi had already woken up.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had really prepared two portions of breakfast.

There were three candied eggs, one for him and two for Jiaren Wu. He would eat half of the two boiled corns, while Jiaren Wu would have one and a half. There were two bowls of shredded vegetable porridge, one for each person.

After making breakfast, he saw that it was almost eight o’clock. He took off his apron and went back to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Wei Shuyi put on a white shirt and black pants. He buttoned the buttons very tightly.

The moment the doorbell rang, Wei Shuyi opened the door.

Outside the door, Jiaren Wu was standing in her work uniform, but she was carrying a bag in her hand. She leaned against the door and looked at Wei Shuyi. She hadn’t slept for the entire night, but her eyes were full of energy and her gaze was bright. She didn’t look like someone who had stayed up late.

“Have you prepared breakfast for me?” Jiaren Wu said this with a charming expression on her face, which made Wei Shuyi’s heart race.

Wei Shuyi coldly nodded. “Yes.”

He quickly stood aside and invited Jiaren Wu into the house.

Jiaren Wu took a look at the breakfast and was very satisfied with the arrangement of the two portions.

The two of them sat down and ate breakfast together, chatting about some unimportant topics, just like a normal couple. After they were done eating, Wei Shuyi washed the dishes, and Jiaren Wu borrowed his bathroom to shower.

There were not many bowls, but Wei Shuyi washed them repeatedly.

The cold water was used to wash a burning sensation.

As he was washing the dishes, Jiaren Wu suddenly walked in. She walked behind Wei Shuyi and wrapped her arms around his waist. Wei Shuyi stopped moving and heard Jiaren Wu seductively say, “Stop washing the dishes…”

***

Neither of them ate lunch. Wei Shuyi lazily woke up at four in the afternoon.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll cook.” Wei Shuyi picked up his clothes from the floor and put them on in an orderly manner. This time, he had buttoned his shirt very casually.

Jiaren Wu brazenly stared at his good figure for a moment before saying, “Roasted pig.” She was tired and hungry and could eat a roasted pig.

Wei Shuyi’s expression froze. “There’s no roasted suckling pig. Do you want roast duck?”

Jiaren Wu recalled that he had said that he would bring her to eat roast duck.

“Then let’s go out and eat.”

She immediately got up and ran out of the master bedroom to the guest room. Seeing her nimble movements, Wei Shuyi raised his eyebrows and thought:?Don’t they say that girls feel uncomfortable after their first experience?

She does not seem to be feeling unwell at all…

Jiaren Wu went to the guest room next door and found a dress to wear.

Two years ago, when Qiao Jiusheng had lived here, it was during this season. Therefore, she had left behind suitable clothes. Jiaren Wu realized that Qiao Jiusheng liked colorful clothes. Coincidentally, she also preferred bright colors.

In the end, Jiaren Wu chose a red-paired lace embroidered dress and put it on. The dress was a tube top, but the collarbone and arm parts were transparent red lace. It was a little sexy, but not too revealing.

However, Qiao Jiusheng’s shoes were all flat canvas shoes.

Jiaren Wu picked a pair of white flats and put them on before leaving the guest room.

Wei Shuyi stared at her and asked, “How do you feel? Does your body hurt?”

Jiaren Wu shook her head. “This is nothing. If I can’t even endure such a small pain, wouldn’t I lose face?”

On the other hand, Wei Shuyi felt that it was his fault for not serving Jiaren Wu well.

Just like that, the two of them went out to eat.

It was obvious that the restaurant was relatively small. The restaurant was located on the third floor on the lowest side of the pedestrian street in the eastern part of the city. Jiaren Wu followed Wei Shuyi to the restaurant and found that the business of this restaurant was especially good. All the dishes in their restaurant were related to ducks.

Everyone who came here to eat would order the restaurant’s signature dish—Honey Roast Duck.

It was a roasted duck cooked with ordinary honey lemon, but it tasted very special.

Although Jiaren Wu said that she was fine, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Halfway through, she wanted to go to the washroom. “I’ll go to the washroom and leave my bag here. You can help me take care of it.”

“Okay.”

After reaching the toilet, Jiaren Wu had just squatted down when she suddenly heard an ear-piercing siren. She immediately recognized that it was the fire alarm.

Jiaren Wu couldn’t be bothered to use the bathroom anymore. She pulled up her pants and ran out of the bathroom. It turned out that it wasn’t the roast duck restaurant that was on fire, but the neighboring restaurant.

The fire next door was very strong, and everyone in the bar ran out like a swarm of bees. Worried that the fire would spread to this side, the shopkeeper immediately told everyone to leave. Everyone ran out of the restaurant and into an empty area.

Jiaren Wu followed Wei Shuyi downstairs. Just as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she heard a few people discussing, “Someone is in there. He’s in the toilet!”

“How long before the firefighters arrive?”

Jiaren Wu pulled the man who spoke and asked him, “How many people are inside? Where are they?”

Seeing that a pretty girl was asking this question, the man was stunned for a moment. He thought that she was just watching the show and didn’t want to talk to her. Jiaren Wu had no choice but to say, “I’m a police officer.”

Hearing this, the man quickly said, “I’m the shop owner. I remember two people came in together. After a while, they went to the toilet but they never came out.”

They don’t know how to escape from such a huge fire?

Jiaren Wu glanced at Wei Shuyi and said to him, “I have to save them.”

Wei Shuyi frowned but still nodded. “Go.”

Jiaren Wu rushed into the bar. The fire inside was still burning, but fortunately, she could still breathe. She rushed straight to the toilet and saw two people lying on the ground. One of them was lying on the ground with a pool of blood beneath him. The other person was lying on the floor not far from the person. His left leg had been stabbed, but he was still alive.

Seeing that someone had arrived, the person looked up and saw Jiaren Wu. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Jiaren Wu was also surprised to see this man.

“Mr. Dongli?”

This person was Dongli Shenghua, whom she had met once before.

Dongli Shenghua’s face remained cold. Some people were born this way and could not be changed. However, when he spoke, his voice held a hint of panic. He said, “Miss, my friend is injured. Quickly save him…”

Even though he was injured himself, he was still concerned about his friend’s safety. It seemed that they were very close.

Jiaren Wu bent down and flipped the man over. One look at his face, and anyone could tell that this man had already bled to death.

“The artery on your friend’s neck was severed, and he bled too much. He’s dead.”

She hurried over and helped Dongli Shenghua to his feet. “There’s a fire here,” she said. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”

Dongli Shenghua looked at the corpse and asked Jiaren Wu, “What about my friend? Aren’t you going to take him out?”

“You’re still alive. I’ll save you first, then bring him out.” Jiaren Wu’s tone was quite strict.

A living person was always more important than a corpse.

Dongli Shenghua also understood this reasoning. He looked at his friend one last time before following Jiaren Wu and limping away.

Jiaren Wu supported Shenghua as the two of them dodged the fierce fire and walked out.

As soon as he saw her, Wei Shuyi walked up to her.

He knew the severity of the matter and didn’t delay Jiaren Wu’s rescue. Instead, he took her hand and held onto the man’s arm. Wei Shuyi helped Dongli Shenghua to a chair opposite him to sit down. He asked the shopkeeper to make an emergency call while he took off his cotton shirt and gave Dongli Shenghua first aid treatment.

Dongli Shenghua’s face was still cold, but he thanked Wei Shuyi.

Jiaren Wu returned very quickly. When Dongli Shenghua saw her return, his gaze darkened. He asked, “Is the fire too big?”

Nodding, Jiaren Wu explained, “I can’t enter the restaurant. I can’t see anything inside. Your friend…

“Sorry!” Jiaren Wu sounded guilty.

Dongli Shenghua shook his head. “It’s not your fault. I have to thank you, Miss.”

Jiaren Wu replied, “You’re welcome! I’m a police officer. It’s my duty.”

Upon hearing this, Dongli Shenghua looked surprised as if he didn’t believe her words. “I thought you were a student.” After all, their first meeting was on the street outside the university.

“What’s going on with you and your friend?”

Dongli Shenghua shook his head. “I don’t know either. I arranged to meet my friend here. He said that he was going to the toilet and didn’t come after a while. I felt that something was wrong and went to look for him. In the end, I saw him lying on the ground injured while the murderer was crawling out of the glass window. I saw him and wanted to stop him, but he injured me.

“I was useless. His skills were too professional. I can’t beat him.” Frustration and pain appeared on Dongli Shenghua’s cold face. He wiped his face and said guiltily, “I was late.”

“Mr. Dongli, don’t blame yourself too much. You’ve already done your best.” Jiaren Wu nodded. She guessed that the person who had killed Dongli Shenghua’s friend was a professional killer.

Dongli Shenghua no longer spoke.
