My Life with Narration-Chapter 215 - 214: Can You Block This Arresting Skill Practiced for Two and a Half Years?

"Ex-hubby is down? This soon?"

That night, Su Qing received the news while chatting and eating at her landlady's house.

This meal was set up by the landlady to thank the two of them. After all, Su Qing was deeply involved in the matter, disrupting many of Lu Yang's plans and even managing to save Wen Nanqing once.

Not to mention Shen Yi. Their relationship as friends and business partners was intertwined with benefits and incredibly close. Shen Yi, along with another shareholder, Tang Nan, who was far away in the capital, helped gather information. These actions signified their ties.

So when the matter was resolved, Wen Nanqing naturally shared the news with the two of them immediately. First, to reassure them, second, to ease their minds, and third, to thank them for their help.

Friends, after all, are valued for their sincerity and interactions. Interactions mean the daily interactions, like them looking after one another and gathering occasionally. Sincerity comes from shared experiences between people.

There's no need to elaborate on Wen Nanqing and Shen Yi; their friendship spans many years and they are also partners.

The old saying goes, don't do business with friends or relatives, as there can be some taboos. But these two have been partners for so many years without any issues and have even grown their business, which speaks volumes.

As for Su Qing, she hadn't known the landlady for long—barely two months, with much of their connection coming through Shen Yi. But this time she had genuinely helped her out, bringing them closer.

Making friends works like this. It's not about just knowing someone. It's only after experiencing some things together and finding the person nice that you can truly call them a friend.

"It's been half a month. My brother only just managed to settle most things. According to him, even without his maneuvers, that man's company wouldn't have lasted long. My brother just pulled the plug a bit earlier," the landlady said, wearing an apron and placing the last dish of fish soup on the table as she sat down, smiling.

"Yu Qian, that bitch, ran off with the money and even wants a divorce? How interesting. Lu Yang really got what he deserves. Doesn't he realize what kind of person she is? If he didn't have money, would a woman like her even look at him? Ugh, it's just a pity I can't see his miserable state with my own eyes. I have to make time to see it, to piss him off!" Shen Yi spat while picking up food.

Although they varied in age, especially Su Qing, who was much younger than the other two, they all interacted as equals—friends without fussing over age differences.

Before all the dishes were served, Shen Yi started eating on her own. By now, she was almost done eating.

Shen Yi knew who Yu Qian was, so she naturally didn't hold back. Although in extramarital affairs, Lu Yang was mostly at fault, Yu Qian, knowing he had a family, behaved disgracefully and wasn't any better.

Even ordinary people tend to side with friends rather than logic, let alone when both logic and affection align. Naturally, she spoke harshly.

"You might not see him for a while," Wen Nanqing replied with a chuckle.

"Why?"

"He should be in the hospital now. My brother did something to break one of his arms. Although it's not a big issue, he'll definitely have to stay in the hospital for a while."

Su Qing: ...

Shen Yi: ...

They hadn't expected them to act so quickly—not only bringing the company down but also sending him to the hospital for a bit.

Indeed, even in a law-abiding society, money holds great power. Look, they put someone in the hospital, but nothing happened in the end.

"Serves him right, truly satisfying. Give me another bowl of rice!" Shen Yi, in high spirits, suddenly felt even hungrier and held out her bowl.

Seeing this, Su Qing rolled his eyes, pretending to hand over some of his rice, scaring Shen Yi into withdrawing her hand quickly and disdainfully getting up to serve herself.

Witnessing their playful bickering, the landlady winked at him and whispered, "Not bad, looks like you two have made some progress?"

She considered such interactions as indicators of closeness. They had clearly been spending more time together.

She didn't know much else, but she knew that if another man did this, Shen Yi would have exploded. Her judgment was keen; when Su Qing could actually give her his rice willingly, their relationship would be settled.

Hearing this, Su Qing rolled his eyes again. He knew very well that the seemingly dignified woman before him was actually a total old hand at this.

"Never mind, another step further and it might lead to murder. Aunt Shen is no saint!" Su Qing shook his head.

Wen Nanqing knew a bit about her friend's character. Hearing this, she laughed heartily, seeing clearly that little Su had suffered some kind of loss.

As for what loss, she didn't know. Anyway, it was just that little stuff between a man and a woman.

As for Shen Yi, she didn't actually dislike him physically or mentally, but she put up a tough front—especially in front of Tang Nan, who was in the capital, and didn't want to be laughed at by the two of them.

With ex-hubby down, there were naturally no more issues, but Su Qing had been feeling really troubled lately.

On Friday, he visited the police station again, not because he wanted to but because he couldn't go during the weekends. After all, he didn't want to make additional money at the cost of his rest, so he had to squeeze out some time during the weekdays.

Thankfully, Shen Yi was a familiar face. Even if he took Big Yellow out, it wasn't a big deal. Considering that such days might continue for a while, he had already privately coordinated with Shen Yi.

They said that starting next month, the contract with Da Huang will be changed. We won't have to pay it a salary anymore. Even though a monthly salary of eighteen thousand is really tempting, we can't take advantage of it, right?

Of course, if the company needs Da Huang, he'll still bring it back, and Shen Yi gladly agreed to this.

The two just discussed it verbally, and the company, as before, will carry on with their business as usual.

Shen Yi didn't see him as an employee, and he didn't see Shen Yi as a boss. Their relationship was more like that of friends, saying whatever came to mind.

The second time he came, Su Qing was much more familiar and went straight to the backyard to find Zhu Lili. After the last video went viral, Comrade Zhu was much more enthusiastic upon meeting.

"Oh my, why has Su Consultant come here? Please sit, please sit. I just wanted to consult you about the next video issue."

In just a few days, Su Qing came by, and the official account she managed gained tens of thousands of followers. It must be said that this ability wasn't something she had.

As they say, expertise is specialization.

Of course, Su Qing is just an amateur. Compared to those professional people with teams, he may seem lacking in many ways. After all, he couldn't create certain special effects.

But the police department is full of talent. Even if they aren't professional, they are at least better than him, so the two sides are complementary.

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn't help but glance at her: "Not bad for someone working in the system, the speaking level is genuinely growing!"

"It's not because you, Su Consultant, taught us well. Now everyone in the bureau knows Sister Li is famous, click-click-click, it's all your credit."

"Stop it, I just came to have a look around today. I might not be able to come over the next few days. Regarding the video, I can give you some advice today, and you can decide how to shoot it. I'll supervise, but if you use Da Huang, just send me a copy before uploading." Su Qing said.

The last video hit the trending list, and he benefited a lot, so he wanted to further bind with this official account.

Of course, there's another reason; he wanted to be lazy. The talent here shouldn't go to waste. He could be lazy, and they could use his account to bring traffic, a win-win situation.

Of course, this setup wouldn't last long, but a break, even for a split second, is a break. Who cares?

However, plans didn't keep up with changes. By the afternoon, an old acquaintance showed up in the backyard on the first floor of the police department.

"Old buddy, you really came to join our team!" At first glance, as soon as he entered, he saw him, and while patting him on the shoulder, he laughed.

"Brother Qiang, what brings you here?" Su Qing asked.

The visitor was none other than Du Qiang. It had been a while since they last met, and although he had tanned quite a bit, he seemed to be in good spirits.

"I heard from Sister Jun that you were here. I didn't believe it at first, but here you are. Looks like my mentors succeeded."

Su Qing: "Captain Zhao?"

"Uh..." Knowing he had misspoken, Du Qiang quickly shut up and then said, "Old buddy, are you busy now? If not, come with me to the front and take a look."

"Not going!"

As soon as he heard a clue, Su Qing immediately interrupted, knowing this guy from the criminal investigation department had come with a task in mind.

In fact, he guessed it right on point.

"Captain Lin truly foresaw this, knowing you'd want to slack off. Captain Lin said if you're free, you should come along and take a look, saying there's something over there that needs your consultation."

To this, Su Qing scoffed: "Come on, I'm just an online security promotion consultant. What would you need my advice on? With so many people, you can't handle it?"

He was quite self-aware. Although he usually had the narrative on his side, most of the cases requiring effort from the police weren't too difficult for him. But the key was he had no evidence, and there were even some pieces of information he couldn't disclose the source of, which was the most frustrating part.

Tomorrow evening the company has a party, and the day after, his sister is hosting a graduation dinner at home. His mom has already called, asking him to go back tomorrow. He's got a lot on his plate.

"That I wouldn't know, but Captain Lin specifically told me to find you, saying you must come."

"I'm not going? I'm not even in your criminal investigation team!"

"Hah, do you think you have the final say once you're here with us? Hmph, ha!"

Two moves later, his two and a half years of training in arresting techniques couldn't withstand it.

Well, this injustice, he endured it.
