My Life with Narration

Chapter 381 - 377: Xu Feng Arrested

That night, Shen Yi swaggered into Su Qing’s bedroom, even went back to her room twice to retrieve some personal items, looking like she planned to stay there for a while.

Although she appeared calm, she was still a woman. Facing such a situation, it was natural for her to be flustered. Now being asked to go back to sleep by herself, she certainly wouldn’t sleep well.

If nothing had really happened, there was no way she would’ve come pounding on his door and then stayed in his arms for such a long time.

From the video, it was clear that Xu Feng had used considerable strength at the time. Fortunately, he probably wasn’t very experienced and his movements weren’t smooth; otherwise, for a woman facing a grown man, it would be nearly impossible to escape. Except, of course, for Li Zijun.

Generally, for a man to escape from her hands would already be impressive; if he’s a bit weak, or lighter in weight, he wouldn’t stand a chance against her.

Of course, if she were armed, her combat capability would increase exponentially.

"Splash!!"

Hearing the sounds from the bathroom, Su Qing couldn’t help letting his imagination run wild. Just a door away, there was a fair-skinned body inside, and it belonged to a woman with a stunning figure. Any man would have some sort of thoughts, considering he was a normal man and not an eunuch like that old man Huang.

"Little brother~~"

Suddenly, an excessively sweet feminine voice came from the bathroom. It sounded like it belonged to some online influencer.

Instantly, Su Qing snapped to attention: "What? Do you want me to bring you a towel?"

That’s how it usually plays out on TV, right? A woman baths, asks a man to bring her a towel, and then an accident happens where the man sees the woman completely naked, after which the woman develops an attachment to him. It was all logical and internally consistent. He even started pondering whether he had extra towels at home.

"Bah, in your dreams! I just want to know, why is there no water at home!"

"No water? That can’t be! There’s no water outage. Stop pretending to be a helpless tenant; how about calling Sister Wen to ask?" Once he realized it wasn’t a request for a towel, Su Qing lost interest immediately.

"I meant, why is there no hot water!"

Su Qing:...

"You’ve been in there for nearly an hour; no heater can withstand that. Wait a minute... No hot water? What about my shower?"

This was precisely the hassle of a woman bathing. It would’ve taken him only about ten minutes tops.

The bathroom went silent for over ten minutes, and then Shen walked out clad in a fine silk bathrobe, drying her hair along the way.

The bathrobe was black, with a tie around the waist, perfectly accentuating her curves. Her upper body was voluptuously--the loose robe adding an intriguing beauty.

While the robe didn’t feature a deep V-cut, Su Qing still rated it poorly in his mind. But at least its length above the knee allowed a glimpse of her straight, long legs, which was a bit of a consolation prize.

"What are you looking at? Go to bed, we have work tomorrow!" Feeling his gaze, Shen Yi slightly flushed and then glared at him.

She immediately ran up the stairs barefoot.

"Hey, wear some slippers, that’s my bed!" Su Qing shouted, but the only response he got was the loud slamming of a door.

Shen Yi had this weird habit of not wearing shoes at home. Wasn’t she afraid of catching a cold from the icy floor?

On the other side, Shen Yi closed the door and curled her lips into a slight smile. If she had known it was so easy to move in, why exert so much effort initially?

"Does this count as cohabiting now?"

Muttering to herself, she flung away the bathrobe, her fair skin resembling a homing swallow diving into Su Qing’s original bed.

"Ah~~~ comfortable!"

In the end, Su Qing had to endure a quick rinse with the nearly cold water before making his way to lie down on the sofa.

The next day, because of what transpired yesterday, as her driver and secretary, he was back to work.

"You suspect that person yesterday was Xu Feng?" In Shen Yi’s office, while Su Qing was checking the backend data of his social media account, Shen Yi asked in surprise.

"It’s just a suspicion, but I think it’s quite likely." Su Qin nodded, finishing the water in his cup and casually handing it over for a refill, which Shen Yi naturally did without thinking.

"That can’t be. I didn’t get a clear look at his face, how could you..."

"I said it’s just a suspicion. Think about it, Jiang City isn’t as big as the capital or Shanghai, but it’s not a mere town either. How could the law and order be that poor? Even in towns nowadays, we seldom hear about homeless people or mentally ill individuals harming others. The police officers who came yesterday also suggested it was intentional, and asked if you had ongoing disputes with anyone lately.

You could have issues with whom? You’ve been in Jiang City for less than a year. The only person you might’ve had a conflict with would be Xu Feng. A young, promising, and successful entrepreneur that you pretty much turned into an outcast. Isn’t it logical that he couldn’t handle it and opted for revenge?" Su Qing spoke while scrolling through his mouse, his eyes never leaving the computer.

He discovered that the narrator was incredibly adept at handling matters that required information.

In his presence, there seemed to be no secrets. If he became a police officer, almost no case would be difficult for him, whether it was a locked-room murder or a cold case. As long as the conditions were sufficient, he could always quickly identify the perpetrator.

He even had to give himself an extra challenge to perfect the process.

"This... now that you mention it, that person yesterday really does resemble Xu Feng a bit in terms of physique!" Shen Yi said, thoughtfully pinching her fair chin, but she quickly retorted:

"If it really is him, then I..."

"No worries, when those two officers questioned me yesterday, I mentioned Xu Feng. Besides, we’ve got surveillance everywhere. Escaping won’t be that easy. Just wait, news will come soon enough." Su Qing said confidently.

It’s not that he had faith in the two officers from yesterday, considering there weren’t any severe consequences, and the surveillance didn’t capture a clear image of the person. Checking the surveillance would undoubtedly be a hefty task.

He had faith in the person Xu Feng stabbed; they’re bound to report it to the police. Once the identity is confirmed, the arrest should be easy, right?

Perhaps they’ve already captured him, just haven’t interrogated him about what happened last night.

"Let’s hope so. If there’s no information on him, Sister Wen plans to move."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing broke into a cold sweat. No wonder they say the richer someone is, the more they cherish their life—no truer words have been spoken.

Finally, when noon came, Shen Yi said she didn’t sleep well last night, found his bed too hard, so she decided to take a nap, giving him some free time.

In the office area outside, he met up with the two-person narrator gang that he hadn’t seen in a while for lunch.

"Hey, who was that guy this morning? And why does it feel like we’re short a few people here?" Su Qing asked, sitting at a vacated workstation.

Hearing this, the social bandit sneered: "You’re the big shot in the company, no time to pay attention to trivial departmental matters. Xiaomei and Fangfang resigned. That guy is Bai Hao, he’s the new guy in our department, fresh out of school. Younger than you~ This big department doesn’t even have a man, even changing the water is a struggle!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was taken aback: "They resigned? When did that happen?"

He only knew their names but had barely spoken to these two colleagues, only remembering them as quiet girls who were nice.

"They left at the start of the month. You haven’t been to the company for half a month. Guess pulling strings really works, huh. By the way, is your ’Aunt’... ahem, President Shen going to promote you to department manager next?" Sun Mumu asked curiously.

Su Qing: ...

"Get out of here, I got it by my own ability, okay!"

"Your so-called ability, if I had a good aunt like you, I’d be soaring already. I heard from Junjun that you solved the case yesterday and that you played a major role. There might even be a commendation. Is that true? I can’t tell, Officer Su, tell me more, the company’s too boring. Without you around, even I don’t have the spirit to work!"

"Didn’t Sister Jun tell you?"

"No, she never tells me details about her cases at the police station. Otherwise, why would I ask you?"

"If Sister Jun didn’t tell you, then I dare not say, it’s classified. Talking about it would breach discipline. Also, try not to pry into societal matters, watch more Teletubbies, keep your innocence."

Sun Mumu: ...

"Miaomiao, what are you looking at?" Su Qing asked curiously, seeing the airhead engrossed in staring at the computer.

"Ah, me? I’m... I’m learning to cook! Lately, Wang Xing has been preparing for civil service exams, studying hard. It’s tiring, so I want to cook something he loves and bring it to him!" Lin Miaomiao said quietly, her face flushed but she still answered him softly.

In her view, since these two already knew her intentions, there was no need to keep it a secret.

"Oh~~~" *2

The two immediately felt a pang of jealousy, making their teeth ache.

[Over time, their relationship got better and better, and Wang Xing finally got to live a life of leisure, as he desired starry-eyed.]

Meanwhile, at Jiang City’s high-speed rail station, Xu Feng was nervously pacing back and forth in the hall. His mom called to tell him the police were after him.

With that, he decided to hide out of town for a while. But as he was waiting for the train, a few plainclothes officers ambushed him from all sides, pinning him to the ground right there.

Thus, Xu Feng played himself into a corner.
