I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 90 has reached the parents.
Seeing that she was just grinning foolishly, Chen Jingle reminded her, "If you put it in a phone case, try not to keep the phone too far away from you. No matter when, including when you're showering or sleeping, keep it somewhere you can easily reach it."

Because amulets have a limited range, once you go outside that range and encounter real danger, the defensive protection mechanism may not be triggered.

So Chen Jingle had Chen Kexin laminate it and then string it with red thread for Lin Yuqing to wear.

"Know~"

Li Shiming couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

Chen Jingle glanced at his phone: "It's about time, I should go."

Li Shiming finally came to her senses. Although she was reluctant to part with him, she knew that given their current relationship, it was already a great honor for him to come out and spend a few hours with her.

One should know when to stop and not force things.

That way we can arrange to meet again next time.

The reason, of course, is that Chen Jingle treated everyone this time, so it's her turn to treat next time.

By exchanging gifts and treating people to meals more often, the relationship will naturally make substantial progress. At the very least, it will accumulate gradually, eventually leading to a qualitative change.

Even if she has the idea of ​​continuing to contact Chen Jingle and developing the relationship further, she hopes it will be a gradual process, rather than starting with physical contact or something like that.

As a believer in pure love, Li Shiming prefers free love and taking things slowly.

At the same time, I plan to observe more closely to make sure I haven't misjudged the situation.

Rich people have strange ideas; they don't want others to be after their money, whether it's just casual friendship or marriage proposals.

When such a person appears in your life, you will subconsciously feel resistant.

The same applies to Li Shiming.

Admittedly, there are those who can disguise themselves well, but if it's not from the heart, it will inevitably be exposed one day.

Unless you can pretend for a lifetime.

Unfortunately, most people in the world are vulgar, and those who truly regard money as dirt are few and far between. Even if they are, they may not be to their liking.

In short, the requirements are too high, and too few people meet the standards.

Now that I've finally met one, she seems to be doing alright so far, but I don't know if I'll still be able to stick to my initial feelings once I find out about her family's circumstances.

Li Shiming expressed concern about this.

……

After waving goodbye to Chen Jingle and Xiao Changmao, Li Shiming was about to start the car when her phone vibrated; it was ringing.

It was Huang Yin calling.

He quickly answered the phone: "What's wrong, Yinyin?"

She thought it was about what had just happened, and there were still follow-up matters that required her cooperation.

"No, there's just something I'm curious about."

Huang Yin chuckled on the other end of the phone: "Tell me honestly, what's your relationship with that handsome guy?"

"Just friends," Li Shiming said, feigning ignorance.

"Just friends?"

"if not?"

"Really not your boyfriend?" Huang Yin asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"..."

Li Shiming blushed from her cheeks to the roots of her ears and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, how's that case of objects being thrown from high-rise buildings?"

Although Huang Yin knew she was changing the subject, she had no choice but to reply, "Detain him for now. We will continue to collect relevant evidence and then transfer it to the legal department for review. If the evidence is conclusive, and there are no unforeseen circumstances, it will most likely be transferred to the prosecutor's office for review and approval of arrest."

Criminal cases are much more complicated than civil cases, but right now we have all the evidence, including witnesses and physical evidence, and even CCTV footage, so there's basically no suspense, and the case will be closed quickly.

Why did you have to do something so stupid, like throwing objects from high-rise buildings and injuring people?

In recent years, cases involving objects thrown from high-rise buildings in China have become so popular that everyone has to pay attention to them, and there are precedents for how to judge them.

Moreover, this time it almost hit Li Shiming.

If her father finds out about this, the consequences will likely be much more severe, possibly resulting in the maximum penalty.

After all, they are a local bigwig in Jiangbei.

"I can only blame myself for being so impulsive; now I'll have to go inside and operate the sewing machine." Hearing this, Li Shiming felt a surge of satisfaction and quickly said, "Thank you, Yinyin. Let me know when you're free, and I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Oh, why be so polite? It's just business as usual. I haven't shown any favoritism," Huang Yin said with a smile.

Li Shiming smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. We haven't had a meal and chatted together for a while, so let's find a suitable time and place to eat and drink. I'll invite Tingting later."

She keeps in touch with some of her classmates who stayed in Jiangbei, and they have a good relationship. Some of them even often go out to explore restaurants together.

However, since everyone is busy with work or has to take care of their families, it's not always possible to meet up at the same time. In short, we'll call whoever is free.

Huang Yin sighed, "I'm afraid it won't work anytime soon. I'm exhausted from being on high alert every day. Let's wait a while."

"Okay, remember to let me know when you're free."

Li Shiming expressed her understanding.

The work at the hat unit is known for its high intensity, and there are never many free moments, let alone for someone like Huang Yin who works on the front lines. Getting a break depends on luck.

"Yeah, I know."

Huang Yin chuckled again: "Can I bring your handsome guy along then?"

"What do you mean 'my home'? Don't talk nonsense!" Li Shiming's expression was very unnatural.

"You're really not your boyfriend? Then can you introduce him to me?"

"You...you can't!"

Li Shiming gritted her teeth and answered angrily.

"Hahahaha." Huang Yin laughed heartily, her scheme having succeeded. "Just kidding! You said it was nothing, hehe, you can't escape my sharp eyes! Looks like you have feelings for each other, but you're not together yet?"

"You're such a gossip," Li Shiming said playfully.

"Isn't gossiping just human nature?"

Huang Yin asked smugly, "Is he a local? What does he do for a living? Do you need me to scare him a little?"

It's only now that the investigations are so strict. Ten years ago, information and records were readily available, and it was easy to find out if someone was a scumbag.

Of course, there are always ways to circumvent policies, just not as blatantly as before.

"I'm not talking to you anymore," Li Shiming said softly, actually just trying to hide her shyness.

Huang Yin knew she couldn't go too far; this girl was very shy, and if she got too angry, it would be troublesome.

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. I'm going to get back to work now. Sigh, I'm just born to be a beast of burden."

Sending a crying emoji.

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. Let's chat again when you have time."

Li Shiming returned the hug.

After ending the call, she breathed a sigh of relief, but instead of starting the car immediately, she quietly thought for a while.

Today was a bit unlucky, but it's okay. At least I wasn't injured. Now law enforcement has intervened, and we just need to wait for the procedures to be completed.

I decided to wait until the final verdict is in before I talk to Chen Jingle.

As expected, the defendant's family will likely approach her hoping to sign a settlement agreement, at which point she will definitely refuse.

Don't be fooled by her easygoing nature; it doesn't mean she doesn't have a temper.

Tolerating crime is another form of evil, haven't you heard of that?

……

Li Shiming's original intention was that there was no need for her family to know about such a trivial matter.

However, she underestimated how much her parents cared about her.

After all, the Li family only has one daughter, so it's hard not to dote on her. Normally it's fine, but now that it's involved in a criminal case, someone immediately relayed the news to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was furious when he learned that his daughter had almost been hit by an object thrown from a high-rise building. Although she was not injured, she was certainly frightened. He immediately dispatched the company's legal team to take over the matter.

The other party is determined to use this sewing machine; even Jesus couldn't save it!
Then, upon hearing that her daughter had gone out to dinner with a boy, her eyes narrowed subconsciously.

Ok? !
