Shen Wanci chuckled softly, her eyes twinkling with a captivating allure that was laced with thick sarcasm: "What do you think, then? A coincidence?"

Thin Jingzhou loosened his grip on her and raised his hand to tuck the stray hair behind her ear. "No, besides, there are many dirty things like this in the business world, but I haven't touched them. Whether it was voluntary or involuntary, I didn't touch them, so don't ask me if I understand next time."

“ ”

The only one I've ever touched was you, and even then, I offered myself.

Bo Jingzhou rarely said sweet words, or perhaps he never had. His indifference was a kind of veiled sentimentality, Shen Wanci thought. She had heard many love confessions before, mostly straightforward and passionate, like Qin Heyi's or the romantic letters full of "you are the wind, I am the sand" from her school days. So she wasn't sure at first if this was a love confession or just an answer to her question.

When she was lost in thought, the man had already changed his shoes: "I'm leaving first. You've worked hard these past few days, get some rest early."

“...”

She's become quite addicted to palace intrigue dramas lately. Every time the emperor finished favoring a concubine, he would say, "You worked hard." When Shen Wanci first heard these three words, her face flushed slightly, and then she reacted, realizing that Bo Jingzhou was referring to her hard work after spending two days browsing the trendy street.

She closed the door and got ready to watch some TV before washing up and going to sleep.

Just two steps after he left, a knock on the door was heard.

Shen Wanci thought Thin Jingzhou had dropped something, but when she opened the door, she found Qin Yuezhi standing there with fruits and snacks in her hand, as well as a takeout of spicy crayfish. "I also ordered barbecue and beer, it should be here soon,"

She handed her the things, skillfully taking slippers out of the shoe cabinet and changing them. “By the way, I just bumped into Bo Jingzhou at the elevator entrance downstairs. Is he bothering you again? But surprisingly, he actually condescended to speak to me! It’s really a ghost seeing.”

In this regard, Qin Yuezhi actually wronged Bo Jingzhou. Although one was Shen Wanci's husband and the other her best friend, they didn't often see each other. And every time they met, she acted indifferent towards him. He himself was a rather cold-tempered person. It was difficult for these two to talk.

Shen Wanci placed the things on the tea table: "What did he tell you?"

I asked him where he was going, and he said he was going to beat dogs.

Qin Yuezhi wasn't actually concerned about where he was going. She just instinctively asked that when she encountered an acquaintance, who knew that Bo Jingzhou would actually reply to her.

Shen Wanci stopped putting things down, "What did he say?"

"Go beat the dog."

"You eat this first, I have something to take care of," Shen Wanci changed her shoes, grabbed the car keys and ran out.

Bo Jingzhou must have gone to find Shen Zhen'an.

She knew he had his limits and wouldn't make any big messes, but Shen Zhenan was still in detention. He couldn't go to the police station to fight, could he? Thinking of Bo Jingzhou's frosty and gloomy expression when he left just now, Shen Wanci felt it was possible.

In the police station, beating someone up doesn't matter if it's light or heavy. This is contempt of law. No matter how light or heavy, you have to go to jail for a few days. And right now, Shen Zhenan is in detention. Except for his lawyer, no one else can see him.

He can't possibly make it in, can he?

By the time Qin Yue's reaction caught up, Shen Wanci had already dashed out, "Thin Jingzhou is going to fight someone, why are you so excited?"

No one replied to her, Shen Wanci had already entered the elevator.

Qin Yuezhi thought about it, but still didn't chase after him. She'd have shrimp instead. Bo Jingzhou wouldn't be so incompetent as to not even protect a woman like Wanci, right?

Shen Wanci was really right, Bo Jingzhou did go to find Shen Zhe'an.

When Shen Zhenan was brought out of the detention center by the police, he still looked a little dejected. It wasn't until he saw Bo Jingzhou that the tension on his face eased. Who knows what kind of days he had spent in the detention center during this time.

Loan sharking is an industry that everyone knows about. As long as it's not strictly investigated, people just turn a blind eye. That night, they were just collecting debts. Although they used some means, it wasn't even light enough to be considered injury. As for what he instigated, the recording can't be considered key evidence either. He could completely deny it.

If it weren't for Bo Jingzhou pressing down, he would have been detained for a while at most and then released. He wouldn't be like this now.

But he was also apprehensive. Compared to staying in the detention center, he feared going out more. After so many days, those debts must have grown considerably.

Shen Zhenan rushed forward with excitement on his face. If he hadn't been pulled back by the accompanying police officer, he would have gone straight to shake Bo Jingzhou's hand: "Son-in-law, did Wanci ask you to bail me out? I knew it, she still remembers our father-daughter relationship and couldn't bear to see her dad suffer in the detention center..."

Bo Jingzhou had no patience to listen to his rambling. He interrupted, “Do you remember what happened at the Jinma Club?”

Shen Zhenan was dumbfounded: "The Golden Horse Club? Wasn't it raided and shut down for prostitution?"

"Seems like he doesn't remember."

The man let out a cold, sneering laugh. Shen Zhen'an felt something was amiss and was about to ask for clarification when a punch came flying at him.

Shen Zhen'an was over fifty years old. These years, he had indulged in alcohol and sex, his body worn down. He couldn't withstand Bo Jingzhou's punch, being knocked to the ground directly. As he fell, he took down several stools with him, causing a clattering noise.

Bo Jingzhou grabbed his collar and pulled him up. Shen Zhenan was beaten to the point of dizziness, drooping his head like a dead dog, mumbling in his mouth: "Son-in-law, son-in-law, why don't you distinguish right from wrong before you start hitting? Where have I offended you? Just tell me and then hit me!"

“Even if WanWan wasn't your biological daughter, she called you 'Dad' for so many years. You were actually heartless enough to send her to those trash people. She was only in high school back then…”

Bao Jingzhou's emotions had long been out of control.

"Wanwan?" Shen Zhengan was beaten several times, and he was dizzy. Suddenly, he heard this unfamiliar name from Bo Jingzhou's mouth, and for a moment he couldn't react.

Therefore, he received two solid kicks.

Shen Zhen'an let out a cry, reacting and saying, "Son-in-law, I was wrong. I just made a casual joke at the dinner table, never expecting those two beasts to actually do it. Afterward, I didn't cooperate with them either..."

……

When Shen Wanci arrived at the police station, Shen Zhenan was already beaten to half death!

The mediation room was in chaos, with debris scattered everywhere. Shen Zhenan lay on the ground, unconscious, it was unclear if he was dead or alive. Many police officers were present, trying to pull people apart, but Bo Jingzhou was currently enraged and no one dared to intervene.

I just hope he knows his limits and doesn't actually kill someone in there.

Shen Wanci rushed over, raising her voice to call him: "Bo Jingzhou..."

The man's raised hand paused. Shen Wanci seized the opportunity and rushed over, hugging his arm: "If you hit him again, he'll be dead."

Bo Jingzhou frowned: "How did you get here?"

Seeing Shen Wanci looking down at Shen Zhengan lying on the ground, he directly covered her eyes: "Don't look, it's dirty."
