Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

"By the way, Brother Long, you mentioned last time that Hou Liangping was caught soliciting prostitution. Did you know that his father came to Yanjing to petition?"

At this point, Guan Peng began to get to the point. He said that Old Man Hou's request for help from Zhong Xiaoai was actually a petition to Beijing.

"It is true, Xiaopeng, don't worry, Hou Liangping's prostitution is irrefutable, I am not afraid of investigation."

Zhao Ruilong understood immediately and he probably knew why Guan Peng was looking for him.

"But this old man has been staying in Yanjing all the time, which is not a big deal."

"You mean I should take this old man..."

Zhao Ruilong thought Guan Peng wanted him to get rid of the old man, and thought that the young masters in Yanjing were indeed not easy to deal with.

"No, no, I heard that this old man petitioned because you sued Hou Liangping for assaulting a police officer. Is that true?"

Guan Peng was really afraid that Zhao Ruilong would misunderstand and kill Hou Liangping's father directly. Then he would be guilty of a serious crime.

"Yes, it happened. Hou Liangping really attacked the police. He broke the bridge of my subordinate's nose."

"Then he was injured too. The old man came to Yanjing to sue the local police for violent law enforcement. Brother Long, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Prostitution is a minor crime, but assaulting a police officer is a different matter. You can't push him too far."

The period of Guan Peng's sentence is at the key point. At this time, of course Zhao Ruilong understood what he meant.

"Okay, Xiaopeng, I understand what you mean. I'll say hello later and have someone release Hou Liangping."

"Brother Long is very open-minded. That's it. I just returned to China and have a lot of things to do. We'll talk next time."

Guan Peng hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Hearing a busy tone on the other end of the phone so quickly, Zhao Ruilong became more certain that Guan Peng called him because of Hou Liangping.

He had to let him go, because he knew that his father's old rival Chen Yanshi had begun to intervene in the matter. If it was just in Handong, he would not be afraid, but since the old man of Hou Liangping's family went to Yanjing, the matter had become uncertain; he really couldn't force them into a corner.

It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm, so Master Zhao decided to take a step back.

.........

two hours later

In Jingzhou Detention Center, the righteous Senior Brother Qi is online.

On the way to the interrogation room, Hou Liangping passed a room and heard a familiar voice from inside.

"Director Zhao, Hou Liangping did not solicit prostitution. I asked him to go drink that day. I still have the call records when I made the appointment with him that day. I was with him the whole day."

After being arrested, Hou Liangping also suspected that Qi Tongwei had set up a trap, but he had no conflict of interest with him at all; today, when he heard him testify for him outside the interrogation room, he finally confirmed that he had thought too much and felt ashamed of his suspicion.

"But according to what we have learned, you and Hou Liangping had separated at around 8pm, and he solicited prostitution at 9pm."

The person who said this was Zhao Donglai. Although every word was directed at him, Hou Liangping did not blame him; because if he had not been there that day, he would have suffered a great loss at the hands of that corrupt policeman named Dudu.

"I left because I received an urgent mission that day, and I just came back today."

After hearing this, Hou Liangping finally understood why his senior brother Qi had not shown up these days.

"You don't need to tell me this, let's discuss Hou Liangping's matter now."

"What I'm telling you about is Hou Liangping. I asked him to go drinking that day, but as soon as I left, he went to solicit prostitution in less than an hour. You are also a policeman, do you think this is logical?" Qi Tongwei argued.

"Talk to me about logic, right? This is a photo of the prostitute who was arrested with Hou Liangping, and this is a photo of Hou Liangping's girlfriend who is separated from him. We won't talk about their temperament, but are they 80% similar in appearance?"

Zhao Donglai took out two photos and argued with them, refusing to give in.

"That doesn't mean anything"

Although he said so, Qi Tongwei was stunned the moment he saw the two photos; Zhao Ruilong only asked him to invite people out for a drink, and he didn't know much about the other details; he didn't expect Zhao Ruilong to be so meticulous in his work, no wonder someone as smart as Hou Liangping fell into the trap.

"This doesn't explain anything, what about this one? The photo of Hou Liangping being caught on the bed with that woman, the woman's written testimony, the prostitution fund with Hou Liangping's fingerprints found in the woman's wallet, and the last one, Hou Liangping himself signed the confession statement; doesn’t that explain the problem?” Zhao Donglai took out one piece of evidence and slapped it on the table.

"Confession? I heard that your interrogating police beat him. Could he have confessed under torture?"

Qi Tongwei was also desperate and even said words that offended his colleagues such as confession under torture.

"This is the police station, not the Liangshan Gathering Hall. I don't know whether you feel guilty about inviting Hou Liangping to drink or you love your fellow apprentice, but breaking the law is breaking the law. Even without this statement, I can convict him based on other evidence.

And you mentioned the torture to get a confession. The police officer involved was called Dudu. This person has problems and a bad attitude. He did hit Hou Liangping. I have suspended him from his post to reflect on his actions. But you, my junior, are not a pushover.

When he said "but", Zhao Donglai raised his voice noticeably.

"Why doesn't he save fuel?"

"He beat her so badly that her nose was broken. This is the medical report of her injuries. This is assaulting a police officer, which is much more serious than soliciting prostitution."

Zhao Donglai said impartially.

"Director Zhao, is there a misunderstanding? My junior brother never gets angry when arguing with others, so how could he hit someone? And to that extent? You also said that he enforced the law violently, so my junior brother might have acted in self-defense?"

In order to exonerate Hou Liangping, Qi Tongwei blamed everything on Dudu.

"This happened inside the police station, and it's not a glorious thing. I talked to the degree and wanted him to calm down, but he didn't agree."

In front of Qi Tongwei, Zhao Donglai also talked about the efforts he had made.

"Director Zhao, I'll go negotiate with them. Also, regarding my junior brother's prostitution, he made the mistake while drunk. Do you think you can let him off the hook?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

This time, Zhao Donglai didn't give any face and opened the door and left. It was at this time that he saw Hou Liangping outside the door.

"monkey"

At this time Qi Tongwei also came out.

"Senior brother..." Hou Liangping heard the conversation between the two clearly. Although Qi Tongwei was too much, his relatives all felt that he was good, and Hou Liangping felt the same at this moment.

"Monkey, I am your senior and I am sorry for you. Don't be afraid. Now that I am back, I will definitely find a way to help you."

Qi Tongwei said this from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother, please don't be like this, it's my fault..."

Chapter 14 When love is a thing of the past

Two days later, Hou Liangping was finally released from the detention center, and it was Qi Tongwei who picked him up.

"Monkey, here..."

Hou Liangping was not surprised to see that it was Qi Tongwei who came to pick him up; after all, before he came out, he heard rumors from the police inside that his senior had used threats and bribes to force Du to speak up and not pursue the matter.

"Brother, I am sorry to have caused you trouble this time."

If Qi Tongwei used this method for the sake of others, Hou Liangping could still despise him in his heart, but for his own sake, what else could he say?

"That's right. If I hadn't invited you to drink that day, you wouldn't have gotten into this trouble. In general, it was my senior brother who ruined you."

Qi Tongwei is sincere and heartfelt because he really is cheating people.

"Brother, stop talking. It's my own fault for not having a strong will."

Hou Liangping said this with a bit of shame. Before he lost consciousness that day, he really thought he was with Zhong Xiaoai; after waking up, he also felt what happened between him and that woman; legally speaking, he was not really wronged.

"From the Procuratorate... I got all your stuff back for you."

"Brother, it's okay. I've been in there for so many days. I've already thought of all this. I just want to trouble you to help me make this trip."

Hou Liangping doesn't dare to meet his former colleagues now.

"Brother, what's the trouble? By the way, what are your plans next?"

At this moment, Qi Tongwei really looks like, no, really is, a good brother who cares about his juniors.

"I want to go to Yanjing first and apologize to Xiao Ai. I don't have any idea about anything else right now."

Hou Liangping has nothing to hide from the good brother who rescued him.

"Well, you can go to Yanjing to find Xiao Ai and ask her to think of a solution for you. I have people looking for that woman here, and as long as we find her, I will find a way to make her change her mind."

"Brother, let's leave it at that. My fate is not unjust. You can't get involved just to help me."

He could have said he didn't know before, but now that Qi Tongwei was talking about it in front of him, Hou Liangping's conscience wouldn't allow him to continue playing dumb.

"okay, I get it"

Qi Tongwei was just talking, there was no chance that he would really put himself in danger.

Next, the two took a bath and had a meal together; after parting ways, Qi Tongwei went to Zhao Ruilong to report his mission, while Hou Liangping dragged his suitcase and boarded the high-speed train to Yanjing.

.........

Yanjing Railway Station

As soon as Hou Liangping got out of the car, he received a call from Zhong Jiqiang asking him to meet.

"Brother, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The place where the two met was a private club. Since Zhong Jiqiang had given a heads-up, Hou Liangping was led to the designated box by the waiter as soon as he gave his name.

"We're not that familiar with each other, so you should call me Zhong Jiqiang. With your intelligence, you should know why I asked you to come here to talk to you."

Seeing that his sister and Guan Peng were getting closer and closer, his family's situation was also improving. Just at this time, Hou Liangping came. How could Zhong Jiqiang possibly give him a good face?

"Brother, I came to Yanjing just to apologize to Xiao Ai and say sorry."

"If apologies are useful, why do we need the police? Do you know how much Xiao Ai has suffered and how much our family has endured because of you?

My dad was fine before, but now he is lying in the hospital, he had a stroke, he was mad at you."

Zhong Jiqiang is considered to have a good temper. If it were Mr. Zhao, you would see that Hou Liangping could still speak while standing.

"I have no idea…"

"There are many things you don't know. Xiao Ai has a boyfriend now. He is a good match for her and treats her well. If you really have her in your heart, you shouldn't come to Yanjing at this time."

Zhong Jiqiang didn't want to see Hou Liangping in Yanjing.

"Brother, I know I am not worthy of Xiao Ai now, but I just want to meet her and admit my mistake."

Hou Liangping also has his own persistence, but his persistence completely irritated Zhong Jiqiang.

"You're not worthy of Xiao Ai now? You're saying it as if you'll ever be worthy of her;

Hou Liangping, I told you that apart from Xiao Ai, no one in our family looked up to you. You thought you were a capable person, you were so self-righteous, but you couldn't even get a job transfer, and asked Xiao Ai to beg for help everywhere. If you had pretended to be so, it would have worked, but in the end, my dad helped get the job transfer, and you were caught soliciting prostitution, and this is how you repay our family?"

Zhong Jiqiang pointed at Hou Liangping and cursed, spitting all over his face.

Dong dong dong

Just then, Zhong Xiaoai knocked on the door and came in.

"Xiao Ai, why are you here?"

What you fear will come true. Zhong Jiqiang didn't expect that his sister would appear here at this time. What a coincidence, is it really a fate?

Of course it couldn't be such a coincidence. After getting the news from Qi Tongwei that Hou Liangping had come to Beijing, Zhao Ruilong called Guan Peng and told him as if he was presenting a treasure.

After Guan Peng found out, he arranged for someone to pay attention to the matter. After learning that Zhong Jiqiang had called Hou Liangping away, he notified Zhong Xiaoai.

"You want to apologize to me, so say it."

Zhong Xiaoai ignored her brother and spoke to Hou Liangping in a cold tone.

"Xiao Ai, I'm sorry, I disappoint you."

Hou Liangping felt heartbroken when he saw that his girlfriend, who was in love with him a month ago, was so cold to him.

"My brother is right. I was too naive before. We are not in the same circle. There will be no happiness if we force ourselves to be together. I accept your apology, but I still don't want to see you in the future."

Zhong Xiaoai said resolutely.

Hou Liangping left, like a dog, and left Yanjing...

that night

Purple Jade Villa

Zhong Xiaoai bought another movie ticket.

"Why don't you ask me what I said to Hou Liangping today?"

Zhong Xiaoai was very happy that Guan Peng informed her out of trust, but she became unhappy again when she saw that he ignored her request afterwards.

"Your brother is right next to you. What can you say? You can only threaten to break up."

Guan Peng, with an aura of rationality around him, said with a bit of disdain.

"You're so boring..."
