Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2112 - 943: The Fun of Buying a Car

Lin Baici came out.

The corridor was quite crowded, even the neighbors from downstairs had come up to watch the commotion.

"Uncle Wang!"

"Aunt Zheng!"

"Zhao Ge!"

Lin Baici greeted them proactively.

"Oh, it’s Little Ci, are you back for the holidays?"

"Xiao Bai, have you started dating? Do you need me to introduce someone to you?"

"Oh, give it a rest! Xiao Bai is a top university student, sure to stay in Haijing in the future!"

A neighbor woman jokingly asked Lin Baici, only to be teased by her husband.

The neighbors all knew that Li Guiru had worked hard and that once the kid graduated, even if they didn’t go to Haijing, they wouldn’t be staying in this old, rundown community anymore.

"I want to finish my studies first and then think about dating after graduation!"

Lin Baici smiled shyly, like a well-behaved child.

Everyone had a good impression of Lin Baici, the kind of "other people’s child" used to educate their own, if not perfect, they were at least at 90% approval.

They would never have guessed that during his freshman year, Lin Baici turned into a class-cutting addict, though he hadn’t dated, he had quite a few encounters with women.

Calling him a ’poker master’ wouldn’t be incorrect.

In the apartment upstairs, the security door was open, a young policeman stood at the doorway while another older one was in the living room mediating a conflict.

Kong Mei had been hit by Xu Jian earlier; her left lip was cut, slightly swollen, and her right eye was bruised, so she called the police. Now that the police were here, of course, she took the opportunity to hit back.

"Officer, don’t listen to her nonsense. Look at my face, it’s all scratched up by her!"

Xu Jian couldn’t stand Kong Mei anymore and had resorted to hitting her.

Their mental states were both terrible; suffering from insomnia for several days, they’d slept poorly, and Xu Jian was especially ill with a severe cold, inflamed tonsils, and had lost his voice.

"Couples always argue but make up, what can’t be discussed? Why resort to violence?"

The older policeman lectured them.

Domestic issues are always difficult to judge, and domestic violence cases are the most troublesome: "You are a family, if you get hurt, you’ll have to pay for your own treatment, isn’t that a loss?"

"And it also affects your work, costing you money!"

The experienced officer knew that reasoning didn’t help, talking about money loss usually hit home for most people!

"I can’t take this life anymore!"

Kong Mei cried loudly: "He always bullies me!"

"Then just break up!"

Xu Jian was furious too, or maybe he’d been living in a state of fear these past few days, on the brink of a breakdown.

"You two aren’t married, are you?"

Lin Baici stood at the door, surprised: "You were beaten so badly, it’s definitely enough to be considered minor injury. You could press charges, at least get some compensation for nutrition!"

The two policemen turned to look at Lin Baici when they heard this.

The young policeman thought this guy was tall, clean, with a handsome face and sharp eyes, damn handsome. The old policeman, however, saw something unusual in Lin Baici’s eyes.

Most people carry some respect when they see the police; those unafraid of the police are usually seasoned criminals, but this young man’s gaze was calm.

This was definitely a look seen in someone who had been around important people or been through major events, someone who had cultivated a steely heart.

Since Kong Mei called the police, it meant she intended to break up with Xu Jian, and hearing Lin Baici’s suggestion, she was a bit tempted.

Xu Jian was worried hearing Lin Baici’s words; he realized that Kong Mei might actually break up with him. If she demanded money, he’d be in big trouble, so he had to solidify his relationship with Kong Mei, make sure it was seen as a couple’s quarrel, and not escalate to assault.

"We’ve been together for years, there’s deep feeling between us, I just lost control for a moment..."

Xu Jian backed down.

After all, if it came to an investigation, it would be bad for him.

Lin Baici’s remark was meant to bait Xu Jian, and seeing him take it, Lin Baici feigned confusion and questioned.

"Years? Doesn’t seem right?"

Lin Baici frowned: "Are you saying the men she brings home are all your friends?"

"You... you little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Kong Mei cursed: "Who brought men home?"

With his rich experience, the old policeman saw her reaction and knew there was probably some truth to it, but he didn’t dwell on it, assuming it was just a personal conduct issue.

"Officers, we’re fine now, we won’t argue anymore, I’m sorry to trouble you this late at night!"

Xu Jian tried to smile and send the officers away.

The old policeman frowned; usually, a man would at least question if he heard his wife was bringing men home, even if he wasn’t furious. Why was this guy acting this way?

Could it be...

"Miss, what do you do for a living?"

The old policeman inquired.

"..."

Kong Mei hesitated to answer.

The old policeman had a hunch, it seemed likely that Kong Mei’s job was illegal, though he didn’t press further since there was no evidence.

"What? Can’t tell us?"

The young policeman chastised, filled with a sense of justice, eager to root out all criminals.

"I... I work as a waitress at a restaurant!"

Kong Mei explained.

"Just a waitress?"

The young policeman adjusted the recorder: "Which restaurant? What’s the number?"

Kong Mei was flustered.

Hastily called the police in the heat of being hit by Xu Jian; if she’d known better, she wouldn’t have reported it, knowing her job was illegal.

"Officers, we know we’re wrong, we won’t fight anymore."

Kong Mei pleaded.
