My Life with Narration-Chapter 380 - 376: Sharp Judge of Character

Just got lectured at the police station, this time he has to be more careful. If he goes up by himself again and Li Zijun, Captain Lin and the others find out, they might even hold a special meeting to educate him.

More than half an hour later, the rain eased a bit. The tenant lady got the news and rushed over with her daughter from the underground garage.

The little girl, with no worries, hugged Big Yellow and offered comfort.

"Big Yellow, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you. When we meet bad guys, let’s fight together, shoulder to shoulder, like brothers! Ah!!!" At the end, the little girl clenched her fists and raised them over her head, letting out a roar.

But Big Yellow looked at her with an expression akin to a "Tibetan fox", utterly speechless.

"Woof~ Woo~" [You can forget it. Fight together? When the real fight starts, I won’t have time to look after you. Go find a place to drink your milk, bully the big geese if you must. It’s enough with me here. No matter how fierce the enemy, I’ll step up!]

After barking, Big Yellow turned around, stuffed his head into the doghouse, and presented his behind to her, clearly not wanting to play with this not-so-smart girl.

At this moment, the tenant lady and Shen Yi sat on the sofa, holding hands, with the tenant lady looking quite frightened.

"It’s too dangerous, too scary. How can there be such a person? Why did he grab you? Robbery? Assault? Or just a lunatic? Now you’ve said this, I don’t even dare to go down to the underground garage to drive. What should I do?"

Seeing the tenant lady getting more frightened as she spoke, Shen Yi rolled her eyes: "Are you here to comfort me or for me to comfort you? Clearly, I’m the one involved in this, okay?"

After calming down for a while, Shen Yi regained her usual composure. Although she was still frightened by what just happened, her personality was inherently strong, making her more capable of handling situations than the housewife-type Wen Nanqing.

"I just found what you went through to be terrifying. Luckily, Big Yellow was there this time. Otherwise, you might not have been able to escape. If you were taken away, who knows what might have happened. It’s one thing if it was a robbery, you wouldn’t mind losing a bit of money. But I’m worried about assault or crazy people. I even heard about several rape cases happening in Jiang City recently, and the victims were all young, beautiful, single women."

Clearly, the tenant lady analyzed the situation thoroughly. With their financial status, losing some money was nothing. The real danger was if the threat was directed at them personally.

Even as strong as Shen Yi’s heart was, these words made her feel a bit frightened.

"No... it can’t be, right? In today’s society, such things still happen? And besides, he didn’t succeed this time, so he shouldn’t come back, right?" Shen Yi, uncertain herself, tried to reassure herself.

"Who knows, but let’s see what the police say. Either way, I won’t go to the underground garage for the next few days. If there’s no result, I’m thinking of moving to another neighborhood. Would you and Su like to join? Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of rooms. I can give you two a room, not a problem. Consider it?" The tenant lady raised an eyebrow and asked, the teasing in her eyes was obvious.

These past few days, Shen Yi hadn’t stopped bothering her, clearly craving meat but looking like she got herself into a greasy mess.

"I... I’m not going. I’ve done nothing wrong, why should I run?"

"Oh, look who’s talking. Even perverts would feel embarrassed calling themselves perverts in front of you. You want meat but lack the courage. Fine, then we won’t have meat, just eat some vegetables to get some vitamins."

"Who says I don’t dare? Just now I..."

"Just now what?"

"None of your business!"

"Oh, I see what this is. You’re burning bridges. You live next to a man, while there’s no one near me. I’m the only one on my floor. If nothing comes of this, I’m out."

"Then why don’t you move in with me?"

"No way, you’d just blame me if you don’t get the meat!"

Shen Yi:...

After some banter, the tenant lady had the upper hand. Satisfied, she couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah, having a man around the house is nice. Look, even when you faced such a big issue, you had someone to help you out. He even dealt with the police for you. If it were me, I’d have to face everything alone. I’d call the police, grab my kid, and run back home. You’ve got nothing to complain about."

Hearing this, Shen Yi glanced towards the living room door, her lips curving slightly upward.

After they called the police, and just as the rain eased, the officers arrived. Two police officers came to visit in person to inquire. After detailing the incident, Su Qing took them to the underground parking to find her car, and then to the property management to get the surveillance footage. They were busy at the moment.

"He’s my boss, and I paid for it!" Shen Yi stubbornly said.

Hearing this, the tenant lady gave her a disdainful look and replied, "You? Even if you have money, can you have more than I do? This isn’t about money. If you have that much money, hire some bodyguards to follow you around. That’ll ensure nothing like this happens again!"

To this, Shen Yi pouted, but inside she was quite happy. So this is what it feels like to have someone backing you up.

Ever since she started her business, even before graduating, she had been learning to face various problems on her own. This was the first time someone had blocked her, standing in front of her during a time when she felt completely lost. Shen Yi thought this feeling was good, very good indeed.

Meanwhile, at the property management of the complex, Su Qing accompanied two police officers to retrieve the surveillance footage.

These were not officers from the East City Public Security Bureau but from a nearby street police station, so no familiar faces here.

The two officers, one old and one young, looked like a mentor-mentee duo. One was in his forties, square-faced with somewhat dark skin, named He. The younger looking officer appeared to be 25 or 26, named Meng.

After finishing Shen Yi’s statement, Su Qing took the two officers down the stairs to the underground garage. Along the stairs between the underground garage and the first floor, they found footprints with water, and these footprints were definitely not Shen Yi’s. After all, she drove back and wouldn’t have been in the rain, so they were likely Xu Feng’s.

And in the underground parking spot, they found Shen Yi’s car. After searching around and finding no suspicious individuals, they went to property management to get the surveillance footage.

"The time was probably around 6:40. I’m quite sure of it. It had just started raining then, so just count back twenty minutes or so!" Su Qing stated.

After two police officers showed their identification, the property staff cooperated by retrieving the surveillance footage, and soon everyone saw the thrilling scene on the screen.

Shen Yi had just gotten out of the car when a man in a black trench coat rushed out, pinned her against the car, and seemed to be reaching for something in his pocket. Fortunately, a big yellow dog jumped out, bit the man, and Shen Yi managed to break free and flee at high speed. The man in black chased for a while but left hurriedly when he realized he couldn’t catch up.

"We’ll copy the video!" said the older officer named He after watching the surveillance footage. His apprentice, Xiao Meng, took out a USB drive to handle it.

He then turned to look at him and said, "Mr. Su, we’ve watched the video. We need to go back and investigate the nearby surveillance cameras. It’s not clear yet why this happened; the footage didn’t capture the person’s face clearly. Think carefully about whether you or your wife have had any conflicts with anyone recently. This doesn’t look impulsive but rather premeditated. Although no serious harm occurred, we must be cautious."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing wiped his sweat. Wife? What are you looking at? Can’t you see that I’m younger than her?

However, he didn’t bother to explain. After all, when the police came, they were together, so it’s normal to be misunderstood. They didn’t know him, so he couldn’t take it seriously.

"Conflicts? She’s in business, and recently, the only one she might have a conflict with is Xu Feng," Su Qing said casually.

He already knew who did it, so he wouldn’t hide it. If the police investigation turned up results, it would be a pleasant surprise; if not, he would find another way, maybe by being more vigilant himself or seeking help from others.

Moreover, he knew that last night Xu Feng had stabbed someone who came to collect a debt, so he expected others besides him to report it, and people would be looking for Xu Feng. As long as Xu Feng didn’t run away, he would be caught soon. This wasn’t something he needed to worry about.

He then quickly provided Xu Feng’s basic information to the officer.

"Alright, we’ll leave it at that for now. We’ll notify you when we have results from our side. Meanwhile, stay safe. By the way, if your wife remembers any physical characteristics of that person, please inform us."

"Okay, no problem. Sorry to trouble you, officers!"

"It’s our duty!"

After seeing the two officers off, Su Qing sighed and helplessly returned upstairs. How come it’s just one thing after another these days?

"Xiao Su, you’re back! How did it go?"

Seeing him return, Wen Nanqing immediately greeted him.

"We found the surveillance footage, but it’s also unclear who the person is. The officers said they’d retrieve the street surveillance and inform us when they find something!" Su Qing truthfully explained the situation as he changed into his slippers.

"Oh, what should we do then?" The landlady was a bit worried. After all, this involved their own safety, and she had a daughter to think about; she couldn’t afford to be careless.

"Woof woof!" [Three meals of barbecue a day, I’ll handle this!]

Big Yellow barked as soon as the translation was mentioned.

Su Qing: ...

"It’s nothing, Sister Wen. You shouldn’t scare yourself. If you’re really scared, how about taking Big Yellow home for a couple of days? It says just give it some food and it’ll be fine!"

"Sure, I’ve been waiting for you to say that!" Wen Nanqing happily agreed. Bringing a bodyguard home, even a dog, provided some sense of security.

Shen Yi looked at the two of them and said softly, "Do you two have one who wants him and one who doesn’t want to feed the dog?"

The two of them: ...

After half an hour more, the little girl got sleepy, so the landlady took the little girl and Big Yellow home first.

By eleven o’clock, seeing Shen Yi sprawled on the sofa with no intention of leaving, he couldn’t help but say, "Uh, it’s so late, why not go to sleep? At worst, I’ll start work for you tomorrow with car pickups and drop-offs, okay?"

"Cough cough... You said it, not me!"

"Aren’t you scared to this extent but still toughing it out? You’re impressive!" Su Qing gave her a thumbs up and marveled.

Hearing this, Shen Yi’s pretty face turned slightly red, and she glared at him.

"Tonight, I’ll sleep in the bedroom, and you sleep on the sofa!"

"You still want to stay? Why should I sleep on the sofa?"

"I’m your boss!"

"So what if you’re the boss? Do you think I’m the kind of small fry who bows to money? Let me tell you, my upbringing from childhood doesn’t support me doing such things. You’ve got the wrong person." Su Qing retorted, glaring.

Su Qing had worked in companies from graduation until now, but he never took any nonsense from his boss, otherwise, he wouldn’t be making a living as a content creator.

Upon hearing his words, Shen Yi’s lips curved slightly upwards, and with a queenly tone, she said, "Oh, really, little brother? In that case, I’d like to ask, how much money does your sister have in her stock market portfolio right now?"

Hearing this, the righteous look on Su Qing’s face instantly disappeared, replaced by a fake sycophantic smile: "You’re really insightful, sister, please, go upstairs~~"
