Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 112: Beauty with a Tragic Fate

Sun Jiajia was rushing forward, but Xu Xiangbei stopped her.

Xu Xiangbei smiled and reminded her, "This is a crime scene, don’t be impulsive. What do you need a man like him for, who dares to assault young girls?"

Principal Zhou and Director Wu exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and showed expressions of regret.

"Section Chief Chen, how could you do something worse than a beast?"

"You’re still a section chief at the Health Bureau, no less."

In their hearts, they felt a sense of satisfaction from kicking someone when they were down.

At the drinking party, they had tolerated Chen Yonghao’s arrogance, his insatiable greed, and his bullying for a long time.

They knew that if he offended Xu Xiangbei, Chen Yonghao would meet a miserable end, and this man was petty and unworthy of sympathy.

Chu Xiaoran still wore a watching-the-show expression, her bright eyes shining as she looked at Xu Xiangbei with a hint of warmth.

Outside the hotel, the shrill sound of police sirens erupted, and a few stern-faced police officers in uniform walked in.

Seeing the police arrive, Chen Yonghao seemed to regain some spirit, "Officer, my dad is Director Chen of the Health Bureau, and he knows your Director Jiang. They hit me and tied me up; you have to stand up for me."

The leading officer was Director Wang of the neighborhood precinct. He frowned, disliking these rich kids who always mentioned their fathers. He sharply ordered, "Shut up, state your case back at the precinct."

Chen Yonghao cast a venomous glance at Ah Jun and everyone else in the room, feeling that everyone was trying to frame him.

Officer Wang asked sharply, "Who called the police?"

Ah Jun stepped forward, "I called the police; this guy tried to assault my sister."

"And this person is tied up? Untie him."

Under Officer Wang’s orders, Ah Jun untied Chen Yonghao, who glared at Ah Jun smugly, thinking that his father’s name had intimidated Officer Wang.

Officer Wang asked the gothic makeup girl gently, "Little sister, what happened? Can you tell me briefly?"

Seeing Officer Wang inquire the goth makeup girl, Chen Yonghao interjected, "Don’t believe her; she’s framing me."

Officer Wang glared at Chen Yonghao, "Say one more word and I’ll gag you."

The goth makeup girl pitifully pointed at Chen Yonghao, "He dragged me into this room, tried to undress me, and hit me when I refused."

Seeing the handprint on the girl’s face, Officer Wang nodded. The girl was clear-headed, emotionally stable, and clearly stated the facts of the case.

Officer Wang ordered his subordinates to handcuff and escort Chen Yonghao away and have Ah Jun and his sister go to the station to give their statements.

As he was handcuffed, Chen Yonghao started to panic a bit and wanted to speak, but was intimidated into silence by Officer Wang’s stern gaze.

Officer Wang turned to the crowd of onlookers, "Did anyone else see anything? Come with us to the station to testify if you did."

Principal Zhou and Director Wu quickly shook their heads, indicating they knew nothing.

Officer Wang’s gaze rested on Xu Xiangbei, "I think I’ve seen you before; were you with Director Jiang at the detention center that day?"

"Yes, I’m Xu Xiangbei. Director Jiang is my brother. Were you there too that day, Officer?"

Officer Wang remembered. It was late that day when he had brought a prisoner back to the detention center, and bumped into Director Jiang and Xu Xiangbei entering the facility, chatting amiably.

Officer Wang smiled and shook hands with Xu Xiangbei, pulling him aside and lowering his voice, "What’s going on with this case?"

Xu Xiangbei knew Officer Wang was seeking his opinion. He adopted a serious expression, "We cannot tolerate evil and must punish it severely."

Officer Wang immediately understood Xu Xiangbei’s meaning and turned to leave, "Goodbye then."

Sun Jiajia urgently blocked Officer Wang, "I’m going with you to the station."

Officer Wang asked curiously, "What did you see?"

Sun Jiajia’s voice was pitifully small, and her face was flushed with shame, "I... I didn’t see anything; I’m his fiancée."

"A fiancée means you’re not yet married. You don’t count as family; we’ll notify his parents to come to the station. It has nothing to do with you."

Chen Yonghao was taken away from the Champion Scholar Tower, still with a smug look on his face. He sneered at Xu Xiangbei, "You all want to frame me? No way. I’ll be out by tomorrow, and by then, I’ll deal with you. Jiajia, believe me, I’m being framed. I’ll be out tomorrow."

With Chen Yonghao taken away, the banquet ended on a sour note, and Principal Zhou and Director Wu returned to the school first.

Sun Jiajia didn’t believe her fiancé would do such a shameless thing and checked the hotel surveillance footage especially.

On the video, Chen Yonghao was shown holding the drunken, goth makeup girl, entering a private room. Before entering, he even sneakily looked around. His face was clearly captured, unmistakably him.

Sun Jiajia cried sadly, looking like a flower drenched in rain. Ding Keke handed her tissues, comforting her, "Stop crying, all men are like this; they lose all sense at the sight of a beauty."

As she comforted Sun Jiajia, she was glaring at Xu Xiangbei, clearly speaking indirectly about him.

Chu Xiaoran sighed softly, "Beautiful women often suffer bitter fates. He’s not worth your tears; find someone new. There are plenty of good men in the world, why hang yourself on one tree?"

Though Sun Jiajia was a modern girl, stylish and trendy, she had already reached the point of talking about marriage with Chen Yonghao, and her heart was committed to him.

Sun Jiajia wiped her tears, her eyes red and swollen, "As the saying goes, ’marry a chicken, follow a chicken.’ We’ve been dating for years, about to marry next month. How can I just heartlessly ignore him?"

Xu Xiangbei leaned over incisively, "Teacher Chu is right; there are plenty of good men in the world, why just love one flower? I’m a good man myself; I never let my girlfriends be sad. Why not be my girlfriend? I’ll treat you well."

Hearing Xu Xiangbei say this, Sun Jiajia cried even harder.

Ding Keke pinched Xu Xiangbei’s shoulder fiercely, "She’s so heartbroken, and you’re mocking her. Go cool off somewhere else."

Xu Xiangbei chuckled bitterly and desperately moved closer to Chu Xiaoran, "I’m sincere; I don’t have a girlfriend right now. Who wants to be my girlfriend? Teacher Chu, are you interested?"

Chu Xiaoran pushed him away with a laugh, "I’d rather believe in ghosts than believe your big mouth."

Xu Xiangbei shamelessly pressed close to Teacher Chu, nearly kissing her face with a mischievous grin, "Teacher Chu, I brush my teeth every day. My mouth doesn’t stink; why don’t you smell it and see?"

Chu Xiaoran laughed as she dodged away, "Dr. Xu, it’s getting late. I need to head back to school; I have things tomorrow morning. See you at school tomorrow."
