Chapter 42 - The Beauty Saves the Hero
Chapter 42 of "My Super Beautiful Lady Boss" opens introducing the plot: âA woman?â The male police officer showed an annoyed expression and looked towards the door... Continue exploring!
âA woman?â The male police officer showed an annoyed expression and looked towards the door with a puzzled gaze.
Generally, during a meeting like this, his subordinates would not interrupt.
âWeâll talk about tonightâs case in a bit.â
With that said, Captain Liu headed straight to the outside of the office.
In the corridor, a slender and tall woman was flanked by two men, waiting for the arrival of the male police officer.
âOfficer Liu, sorry to bother you again.â The man beside the woman, cultured and refined, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and with a gentle smile, spoke to the male police officer.
Recognizing the man, Captain Liu greeted him with a pleasant expression: âAh, itâs the famous Attorney Zhang Zhibin from Xiecheng Law Firm.
Weâve met a few times before.
And who might this be?â
Chen Wanqing was wearing a black trench coat, her enchanting figure only partially visible, with a look of both urgency and confusion on her face.
After receiving the message that Su Xuan had been brought into the station, she was frantic and, in her desperation, thought of her personal attorney, Zhang Zhibin, which is why the three of them had hurried to the police station.
With a light smile, Zhang Zhibin introduced her: âThis is President Chen of Bright Moon Building.
She heard her friend got arrested, so she came over to see what happened.â
âHello, Captain Liu.â Chen Wanqing greeted with a smile as fluid as water, pulling a golden business card from her white Hermès wallet and handing it over to Captain Liu.
As Captain Liu took the card and sized up Chen Wanqing, he felt a sense of amazement: So this is the boss of Bright Moon Building?!
What a beauty!
The rumors didnât lie!
After looking at the business card, his attitude instantly became extremely courteous, and Captain Liu made an inviting gesture, âLetâs go to my office and talk.â
Once inside Captain Liuâs office, Chen Wanqingâs anxious expression eased a lot, and she asked in a relaxed tone, trying to gauge the situation, âCaptain Liu, I have a friend named Su Xuan.
What happened to him tonight?â
Upon hearing the name, Captain Liuâs face darkened.
He wondered why the President of Bright Moon Building would be friends with a young punk like that and was even coming to the police station in person for him.
âYes, there is such a person.
Is he your friend, President Chen?â Captain Liu lit a cigarette and squinted as he asked.
âYes,â Zhang Zhibin chimed in, âCaptain Liu, what happened?
I believe President Chenâs friend wouldnât do anything illegal.â
As the saying goes, even when you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner.
With the President of Bright Moon Building personally showing up, they had to show some courtesy.
Captain Liu contemplated for a moment and then gave the three a brief rundown of what had happened.
The other man was Chen Wanqingâs assistant.
After listening to Captain Liuâs account, he exchanged glances with Zhang Zhibin, then leaned over and whispered something to Chen Wanqing.
âCaptain Liu, how are you planning to deal with them?â asked Zhang Zhibin.
âThe main three involved in the incident, they are all detained for fifteen days, with a fine of five thousand,â replied Captain Liu with an expressionless face.
Chen Wanqingâs eyebrows knitted together tightly, as this was not the outcome she hoped to see.
Under no circumstances could she allow Su Xuan to have a criminal record at the police station.
Standing up with a faint smile, Chen Wanqing looked at Captain Liu and said, âCaptain Liu, I can pay the bail for Su Xuan.
Can he be released now?â
âThisâŚâ Captain Liu showed a difficult look on his face.
Catching his expression, Zhang Zhibin, well versed in the ways of networking, smiled as he pulled out a pack of China cigarettes, respectfully offering one to Captain Liu, and then whispered something to him.
Considering both the reputation of the monk and the Buddhaâs face, releasing Su Xuan wouldnât break any rules, and it would be a favor to Chen Wanqingâtwo birds with one stone.
Moreover, the bail was paid, so Captain Liu was swayed by Zhang Zhibinâs words.
âAlright then, please go through the formalities,â said Captain Liu.
He then summoned a subordinate and led Zhang Zhibin and Chen Wanqingâs assistant out of the office.
Waiting in the interrogation room, Su Xuan hadnât made a fuss, because he knew this wasnât the place to act recklesslyâit was akin to asking for trouble.
After about twenty minutes without anyone coming, Su Xuan grew impatient, thinking anxiously, They sure are taking their time!
Why canât they just decide what to do with me already!
âYou, youâre free to go,â Han Caiying, after receiving Captain Liuâs orders, let out a sigh of relief and approached the interrogation room.
She looked at Su Xuan coolly and said.
Thinking the beautiful female officer had helped him, Su Xuanâs face lit up with gratitude and surprise, âI can go now!?
Thank you, Officer, for helping me!
Iâll treat you to a meal another day!â
âYouâve misunderstood; it has nothing to do with me,â Chen Wanqing replied indifferently, a subtle emotion in her eyes.
âYou must have quite the influence, to have the boss of Bright Moon Building come advocate on your behalf.â
Hearing âBright Moon Building,â Su Xuan immediately thought of Chen Wanqing and awkwardly smiled without further explanation before walking out of the interrogation room.
After exchanging a few polite words with Captain Liu, Chen Wanqing waited outside the police station just as Lin Mengru and some other customers had finished their interrogation and slowly walked out of the police station.
Su Xuan walked in front of Lin Mengru and came to the door of the police station.
Just as Lin Mengru was about to call out to Su Xuan, she saw him getting into a white BMW with a beautiful woman, her eyes filled with a sense of loss.
âThanks, yeah,â Su Xuan said, rarely using this phrase, especially with people he was close to, as he awkwardly smiled while sitting in the passenger seat.
Chen Wanqing rolled her eyes at Su Xuan, her tone laden with clear sarcasm, âGetting skilled, arenât you?
Learning to fight now?â
âItâs all a misunderstanding!
How could a model young man like me get into a fight?
I was forced into it!â Su Xuan said, frustrated.
âDonât be shameless, talking about being a model young man.
Let this not happen again.
If there is another situation like this, I canât afford to lose face over youâyouâll have to deal with it yourself,â Chen Wanqing said sternly before falling silent again.
His eyes rolling, Su Xuanâs face broke into his signature mischievous grin, his gaze boldly wandering over Chen Wanqingâs body as he joked, âUsually itâs the hero saving the beauty, but today the roles were reversed, and the beauty saved the hero.â
After he finished speaking, Su Xuan inwardly praised his own cleverness for the two birds with one stone remark, which complimented both himself and Chen Wanqing.
âGet lost!
Shameless, where do you get off calling yourself a hero?â Chen Wanqing tried to suppress her laughter, still maintaining her cool demeanor.
Having been to the police station and gotten away without any major issues, Su Xuan was in high spirits, looking at the night scenery flashing by outside the car window, when he suddenly remembered Lin Mengru.
He couldnât help but feel concerned: Mengru wouldnât still be at the police station, would she?
Damn, I forgot about this when I left!
He thought about calling Lin Mengru, but then stopped himself, as Chen Wanqing was right beside him.
Calling Lin Mengru now would be like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirrorâhe would be in an awkward position either way, wouldnât he?
âCome home with me later,â Chen Wanqing said, turning on the car music, her tone casual as they neared the road to Songzhou Garden Community.
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan felt a sudden rush of heat, his eyes widened as he turned to look at the beautiful Chen Wanqing, a myriad of wicked thoughts springing to mind: Has my spring finally arrived?
Sheâs inviting me to her place!
Sheâs giving me an opportunity to misbehave!
âThatâs great!
Are you saying youâve decided to accept me?â Su Xuan ogled Chen Wanqing with a lustful gaze, grinning lasciviously.
Only then did Chen Wanqing realize her words had been incautious.
She glared at Su Xuan, âStop dreaming!
Where is your mind wandering to?
I meant for you to come back with me and explain what happened tonight.â
Su Xuan didnât think that was really her intention, laughing heartily, âAnd here I thought you wanted to do something interesting with meâŚâ
If glares could kill, Su Xuan would have died a thousand times.
Chen Wanqing snorted angrily, refraining from any further verbal sparring with him.
Having spent some time with him, she had come to understand Su Xuanâs character to some extentâhe was never serious with his words, but he wasnât a bad person.
After parking the car, Su Xuan followed Chen Wanqing into the elevator.
The blinding light and the exceptionally silent small space, with only the two of them inside, made the atmosphere suddenly grow a bit more ambiguous.
Su Xuanâs gaze was filled with desire, and his mischievous smile was like poison.
Chen Wanqingâs face turned unnatural, flushing red, as she looked down and said, âWhy are you staring at me?!â
âBecause youâre beautiful!â Su Xuan unabashedly leered, his rogue-like smile on full display as he involuntarily moved closer to Chen Wanqing.
His head tilting slowly towards Chen Wanqingâs fragrant hair, Su Xuan whispered, âLook at meâŚâ
Chen Wanqing stepped back a few paces, pressing herself against the elevator wall to evade Su Xuanâs approach, feeling her heart rate uncontrollably accelerate.
âStop it!â
Su Xuan moved even closer.
âWait for me!â
