Chapter 125 Do you know Pei Yan? (Bai Pei)
"Beep-beep-"

After a long wait, only a cold female voice came through the receiver informing me that no one was answering, before the call automatically ended.

I dialed again, but the same thing happened.

What are you doing?
Shen Zhaoyi was genuinely worried this time.

She had no choice but to ask Qiu Ze: "Has Pei Yan contacted you these past two days?"

The other party was also puzzled, thinking the two had quarreled.

Shen Zhaoyi said that it was not true.

At the very bottom of the food chain, Qiu Ze could only send a wry smile emoji: "Sister-in-law, he doesn't contact you, so how could he possibly remember me?!"

Seeing that they hadn't gotten any results from asking here, and having no mutual friends left.

Shen Zhaoyi had no choice but to send Pei Yan a text message, asking him to call back as soon as he saw it.

I felt uneasy and couldn't sleep soundly.

After Su Ye finished her show, she called me to join the live stream. The person who usually only needed two songs to fall asleep was tossing and turning all night.

He stopped playing the accompaniment when he heard rustling sounds in his headphones.

"Zhaoyi, is something bothering you?"

"I guess so. I suddenly lost contact with a friend."

Su Ye comforted her, saying that she was probably too busy to check her phone.

Shen Zhaoyi shifted to a lying position, looked at the ceiling, and asked, "Would you knowingly not reply to my WeChat messages or answer my calls for two days while I'm waiting for your messages?"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Immediately afterwards, Su Ye's voice became serious.

"will not."

Even if you don't wait, I will come to you.

After all, waiting for someone is not a pleasant experience.

The sweet words that came out of his mouth did dispel some of the previous annoyance.

I don't know when I finally fell asleep, and I slept until almost noon the next day, which was quite unusual.

I had arranged to meet Cheng Yubai at midnight, and now I only had less than an hour left.

Shen Zhaoyi, unusually, felt a surge of emotion and sent him an apologetic message: 【Sorry, I might be a little late.】

Quickly pack and then put together an outfit, but also aim for a safe and stable look.

Old Wang had been waiting downstairs for a long time, thinking that today's trip had been canceled without his notification. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her appear.

"Have we been waiting long?" Shen Zhaoyi opened the car door and got in. "We don't need to be in too much of a hurry. Driving safety is the most important thing."

Old Wang smiled and agreed, and the car smoothly drove out of the front yard.

Sitting in the back row, looking at Cheng Yubai's message, "No rush, be careful on the road," I felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Upon arrival, we walked through a winding corridor and were led by a waiter to a private room.

Behind the screen, Cheng Yubai was making tea with his head down.

He was still dressed in that refined manner.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and a faint smile appeared on her face. "You're here?"

Shen Zhaoyi felt that this face should be paired with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses; that would be a real killer look!

"Sorry for the delay." She walked over and sat down, feeling apologetic.

Cheng Yubai pushed the teacup over, shook his head, and didn't seem to care.

The tea was dry, so Shen Zhaoyi took a sip.

"You didn't order any food?"

"It's not too late to wait until you arrive."

Shen Zhaoyi has gradually gotten used to his change in attitude.

He picked up the menu from the table, ordered a few of the signature dishes recommended by Xu Meng, and let Cheng Yubai add the rest according to his own taste.

After the waiter left, the private room fell silent for a moment.

This dinner was originally organized to discuss project payments.

But Cheng Yubai didn't seem to bring up the topic; it was more like he was there for a date.

Shen Zhaoyi always made sure to eat her fill before doing anything, and she didn't mention this matter.

Both of them were eating quietly.

The atmosphere was broken by a sudden phone ring.

On the screen, the caller ID clearly showed "Pei Yan".

However, when the call was answered, a strange male voice came through.

"Hello, do you know Pei Yan?"

Shen Zhaoyi was taken aback, put down her chopsticks, and asked, "I know him, so what?"

"I'm a police officer from the Dongxing Branch Police Station." The officer's tone was businesslike. "Pei Yan is suspected of intentional assault, and we need you to come over." "..."

I have some doubts about the authenticity of this phone call.

Shen Zhaoyi repeated to confirm, "You mean, Pei Yan beat someone up?"

"Yes."

"Are you at the police station now?"

"Correct."

Shen Zhaoyi had a headache at the moment.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from getting an ID card, the only two other times I was in jail were to bail out Pei Yan!
She looked up at Cheng Yubai sitting opposite her.

Noticing the gaze, the other person looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Excuse me, I have to go now." Shen Zhaoyi grabbed her bag. "I have something urgent to attend to."

Actually, you could hear the conversation just now without even trying.

Although there were only a few words, Cheng Yubai could still guess that the situation was somewhat serious.

He stood up. "I'll go with you."

"no, I'm fine!"

Shen Zhaoyi wanted to refuse, but Cheng Yubai's next words shut her down completely.

"What if the other side also sends a large number of people? Won't you be at a disadvantage?"

Yes!
The person who got beaten up doesn't even know what happened!

Without further hesitation, Shen Zhaoyi hurriedly led Cheng Yubai away from the restaurant.

Old Wang had just finished finding a place to have lunch when he turned around and saw his employer bringing over a well-dressed young man.

"Uncle Wang, go to the Dongxing Police Station branch."

"Got it!"

Although he didn't know what she was going to do, judging from Shen Zhaoyi's appearance, she seemed much more anxious than in the morning. So, Old Wang stepped on the gas and sped up.

In the police station.

The police officer on duty looked up and glanced at the two people who came in.

After the registration was completed, the person who had just made the phone call lingered on Cheng Yubai for a moment, then turned to Shen Zhaoyi with a strange expression, "Pei Yan's girlfriend?"

Using that identity as an excuse again!

Shen Zhaoyi forced herself to answer yes, secretly vowing to elevate her seniority next time!
Cheng Yubai, standing behind her, showed no emotion on his face.

They were led to Observation Room No. 3.

The door was pushed open, and a figure sitting on a bench came into view.

Pei Yan had a wound on his forehead, his black T-shirt was wrinkled, and his hands were stained with blood.

He was clearly a little embarrassed when he saw Shen Zhaoyi.

Like a child who has done something wrong, their fingers unconsciously twist together.

"You came……"

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze fell on Cheng Yubai behind Shen Zhaoyi, scrutinizing him.

The other person's gaze returned to them.

Shen Zhaoyi didn't notice the exchange of glances between the two. She walked straight up to Pei Yan, frowned, and asked, "Why is there so much blood? Where are you injured?"

Pei Yan turned his face away.

A young police officer standing nearby interjected, "He only has a scratch on his forehead; the blood is from the person who was beaten."

As he spoke, he pointed to the room next door.

Through the glass window, Shen Zhaoyi saw a man sitting inside with a bruised and swollen face.

Looks familiar?

She walked over and took a closer look, then suddenly remembered that it was the person she had met at the Thai restaurant last time.

"How come you ran into someone again?"

"Why don't you just say it's because he keeps coming up to me!" Pei Yan was so angry she gritted her teeth.

The man's name was Xu Wei, and he used to be the engineer for his racing team.

After various scandals were exposed, he terminated his contract.

The team gradually disbanded because there was no future in it.

Xu Wei turned around and pledged his loyalty to the champion team, and now he continues to make a living in another small team in S City.

The two met briefly during the match in Hong Kong on the 25th...

small theater:
Their eyes met, they sized each other up, and quickly made a judgment in their minds—

Pei Yan: White shirt, tie, all pretentious!
Cheng Yubai: You're such a greenhorn, not steady at all!
