She glanced around and saw Fang Zheng sitting not far away. Under the influence of alcohol, she stood up involuntarily and walked to Fang Zheng's side.

Meeting Fang Zheng on New Year's Eve suddenly gave her a new fantasy in her lost heart - could it be that there was still some unfinished love between her and him?

……

"Do you want to sit together?" Bo Tong realized that he had asked the stupidest question, and there was no time to take it back. He could only add a sentence to make sense: "It's not convenient for you to sit with your friends."

Du Qingqing looked back indifferently, without any intention of moving back to her seat, and asked, "Are you just the two of you?"

"He Xinyan is here too. She went to the bathroom." Bo Tong said.

"Oh." Du Qingqing looked at Fang Zheng again. Ruan Xiaojing was not with them, which made her feel more at ease.

"Du Qingqing——" Yao Anyu's voice came from a distant table, and then he strode towards them. Standing in front of them, he glanced at Bo Tong and Fang Zheng with disdain and asked, "Did you meet someone you know?"

"Yeah." Du Qingqing nodded.

Yao Anyu burped and asked, "Why, they are all your childhood sweetheart neighbors? Do you want to sit together?"

"No need." Du Qingqing said, "Go back."

Bo Tong saw that Du Qingqing's face was red, and it was obvious that she was drunk. He became anxious and pulled Du Qingqing, "Just come with us and go home with me later."

Yao Anyu was furious when he saw Du Qingqing sleepwalking towards him. When he saw Bo Tong holding Du Qingqing's hand, his voice suddenly rose eight octaves, "What? Are you trying to steal my person?"

Bo Tong looked at Yao Anyu without showing any weakness, "You are drunk. She is a girl and it is not suitable for her to be with you."

Yao Anyu stared at Bo Tong with a look of dissatisfaction, and said word by word: "Du Qingqing came out with me to celebrate the New Year. Who are you? Do you have the right to interfere?"

"I will definitely interfere in Du Qingqing's affairs." Bo Tong held Du Qingqing's hand tightly.

Fang Zheng tried to persuade her kindly: "Student Yao, Du Qingqing is our neighbor. It would be more convenient for us to send her home."

Yao Anyu burped again, took Du Qingqing's other hand and said, "I'll say it again, I asked Du Qingqing out."

He Xinyan saw the quarrel from a distance, and after approaching to understand the situation, she immediately walked to Yao Anyu's side and persuaded him: "What we mean is that you are also drunk, and it is inconvenient for you to send Du Qingqing, so she can just follow us."

"What are you doing——" Yao Anyu was completely furious, "Are you relying on your numbers?"

He Xinyan said hurriedly: "Calm down, calm down. Otherwise, let's ask Du Qingqing what she wants to do and who she is willing to go with."

Du Qingqing looked at Fang Zheng, then at Bo Tong, and said, "Thank you, I came out with him, and I'll go home with him."

Bo Tong still stubbornly held Du Qingqing and said, "This man is drunk. It's not safe for you to be with him alone."

Seeing Bo Tong holding Du Qingqing's hand, Yao Anyu's drunkenness suddenly took effect. He picked up a bottle of beer on the table and knocked it on the table. The beer bottle exploded instantly, and the beer foam sprayed onto several tables next door.

There was a cry of surprise from the table next to them, and everyone stood up. Some people watched, while others walked away for fear of being affected.

Seeing the situation, the waiter immediately came over to persuade him, "Sir, I'm sorry, this is a public place, your behavior affects other people's dining."

Yao Anyu looked at the waiter, holding the half-broken beer bottle in his hand, and shouted: "I will compensate you for all the losses you suffered today. I, Yao Anyu, can afford it."

The waiter saw the beer bottle in his hand and did not dare to step forward to dissuade him. He was also afraid of hurting the customer, so he could only say: "Sir, if you don't put down the bottle, I will have to call the police."

Seeing that something was wrong, Du Qingqing tried to persuade him kindly: "Yao Anyu, I will go with you. Please put down the bottle."

Bo Tong was even more worried, "No, he's gone crazy, you still want to go with him?"

Yao Anyu pointed the wine bottle at Bo Tong, "If a tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm a cat! Why don't you find out what my family does? I can make you disappear from Lincheng tomorrow!"

"What's going on? Who's so powerful?" A clear voice came from the noisy crowd, and a girl in a cotton coat walked out of the crowd heroically, "Who is causing trouble in a public place?"

"This man is drunk and wants to hit someone with a bottle of wine," someone in the crowd said.

The girl showed her ID to Yao Anyu and said, "I am Jiang Li, a criminal police officer from the Lincheng City Criminal Investigation Team. I happened to be eating here. Although provoking trouble is not within my jurisdiction, it is harmful to the public, so I must step in to stop it."

"Police?" Yao Anyu looked at Jiang Li fearlessly, "Why do the police care so much? This is our private matter."

"The bottle of wine in your hand can cause fatal harm to the people around you, so what you are doing now is not a private matter, but something that endangers the public. Give me the bottle of wine, and you can make a big deal out of a small matter. If you don't listen to my advice, the result may be unfavorable to you." After saying that, Jiang Li extended his hand to Yao Anyu.

Du Qingqing's left and right hands were still held by Bo Tong and Yao Anyu respectively. She shouted anxiously: "Yao Anyu, please give the bottle to the police quickly. I was wrong tonight. I apologize to you."

Fang Zheng then advised: "Yao Anyu, hand him over to the police."

Yao Anyu looked at the police, then looked around, and felt a little embarrassed in front of Du Qingqing, so he said to Bo Tong: "Let go of Du Qingqing's hand first."

"Okay, I'll let go." Bo Tong let go of Du Qingqing's hand and said, "Give the bottle to the police."

"Are you sick?" Seeing Botong loosen his grip, Yao Anyu pointed the half-broken bottle at Botong again, "If you had let go earlier, you wouldn't have attracted the police."

"Yao Anyu——" Du Qingqing grabbed Yao Anyu's hand holding the bottle and shouted, "You have to keep your word——"

"He likes you, right?" Yao Anyu lowered his head and asked Du Qingqing, "What neighbors? They all have bad intentions towards you."

"Qingqing, be careful that the bottle might hurt you--" Botong grabbed Yao Anyu's hand, but this made Yao Anyu even more furious. He stabbed Botong desperately, "Get away from me--"

Botong's hand was scratched by the sharp glass tip of the wine bottle and blood oozed out.

Yao Anyu's brain was filled with blood and he swung the bottle towards Botong again.

"Botong——" Fang Zheng rushed to Botong's side and tried to block the sharp bottle with his bare hands, but before the bottle could pierce Fang Zheng, Yao Anyu's wrist had been grabbed by Jiang Li. She squeezed hard and the bottle in Yao Anyu's hand fell to the ground. With another backhand, she subdued Yao Anyu to the ground.

"Jiang Li——"

Two voices, one male and one female, were heard at the same time.

Then, Wu Hanzhou ran to Jiang Li and looked at her with concern.

Wu Linxi also panted heavily and held Qi Xiangtian's hand and said, "I was so scared that I was sweating all over."

Jiang Li said to Bo Tong and Fang Zheng, "Wait a moment. Someone from the local police station is here. Let's go and question them together."

----

Jiang Li and his group of four, Fang Zheng and his group of three, Yao Anyu and Du Qingqing all arrived at the local police station.

Jiang Li explained what happened to his colleagues at the police station, and they questioned Fang Zheng and two other people and Du Qingqing separately.

He Xinyan noticed that a man accompanying the female police officer seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

After asking the questions, He Xinyan sat in the hall and looked at the man from time to time.

Wu Linxi was sensitive to He Xinyan's gaze, and she asked Qi Xiangtian in a low voice, "Do you know the girl next to you?"

Qi Xiangtian turned around and recognized He Xinyan at a glance. A few months ago, when he was working in the IT department of Yide Pharmaceutical, he had a conversation with He Xinyan. Later, he often saw He Xinyan coming in and out of the administrative building.

Qi Xiangtian said: "He Xinyan, the training director of the Human Resources Department of Yide Pharmaceutical."

Wu Linxi smiled, "She kept staring at you, and I thought she fell in love with you."

"Should I go and say hello to her?" Qi Xiangtian said.

Wu Linxi glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye, "No need, she's coming over and seems to have recognized you."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Xinyan had already walked up to them and asked suspiciously: "Zhang Keyan? Excuse me, are you Zhang Keyan?"

Qi Xiangtian stood up and nodded, "Hello, He Xinyan."

"Is it really you?" He Xinyan was thinking of Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng was the real Zhang Keyan. The Zhang Keyan in front of her was just a substitute that Song Siyao had found. Wasn't he Song Qiaoran's fiancé? Why was he so close to the woman next to him?

Just as he was thinking, Fang Zheng came out of the inner inquiry room and faced Qi Xiangtian who had stood up. For a moment, the two stared at each other in a daze.

He Xinyan stood between them, looking left and right. At this moment, she was the only one who knew best that the two men here were both Zhang Keyan. One used Zhang Keyan’s name, and the other had Zhang Keyan’s blood. Was there some kind of fate that brought them together?

"Fang Zheng," He Xinyan called out, pointing at Qi Xiangtian and said, "This is Zhang Keyan, have you seen him? He worked at Yide for a while, and he's the fiancé of Director Song's daughter."

"Zhang Keyan?" Fang Zheng almost jumped up. He was like a hurt hedgehog, all the thorns on his body stood up instinctively; with a pair of eyes full of vigilance and even a little hostility, he looked Qi Xiangtian up and down again.

"Fang Zheng——" Wu Linxi recognized him, "Fang Zheng from Yide Pharmaceutical's Quality Inspection Department?"

"Yes." Fang Zheng looked at Wu Linxi and instantly remembered her, "Wu Linxi, the host of Jiao Guang Radio Station?"

The two nodded to each other. Fang Zheng had a very good impression of Wu Linxi during that show. She was beautiful, generous, articulate, and had a faint sadness on her face. Today, she had more joy in her eyebrows and mouth than then. He glanced at the man next to Wu Linxi. Could it be that this joy came from Zhang Keyan?

"I didn't expect to meet everyone here. We are all acquaintances," said He Xinyan.

Bo Tong walked out of the interrogation room, his injured hand having been simply bandaged.

Fang Zheng and He Xinyan went to meet them.

Bo Tong told the two men: "The police asked me if I would sue Yao Anyu, as he had committed intentional injury."

"What do you mean?" Fang Zheng asked.

Bo Tong said, "Forget it. He is Du Qingqing's classmate and was also impulsive because he was drunk."

He Xinyan said: "This personality is not suitable for Du Qingqing. He is too wild and a bit like a gangster. Even if I don't sue him, I will ask him not to come to Du Qingqing again in the future."

"Is Qingqing still asking questions?" Fang Zheng asked Botong.

"She was the last one to be questioned and should be coming out soon," said Bo Tong.

Just as he finished speaking, Ruan Xiaojing's inquiring voice came from the gate.

"Xiaojing, we are here." Fang Zheng shouted.

Ruan Xiaojing walked quickly to their side and asked, "What happened? Why are you at the police station?"

Bo Tong said hurriedly: "It's me, I was hurt."

Ruan Xiaojing saw the gauze wrapped around Botong's hand and asked, "Who hurt you? Is it serious?"

"It's my fault. It's not serious." Bo Tong winked at Fang Zheng, "You guys go first. I'll go back by myself later. Anyway, it's not the same road."

"Okay, let's go first." Fang Zheng understood.

He Xinyan said, "I'll accompany Botong, you guys go first."

"Haven't we finished questioning? Why can't Botong leave?" Ruan Xiaojing asked.

"Well..." Bo Tong looked towards the interrogation room, "The police still have to ask me if I will sue him."

Du Qingqing appeared in Bo Tong's sight, with an anxious look on her face and a frown on her brows.

Botong walked towards Du Qingqing. Du Qingqing looked up and saw Botong, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry, Botong. It's all my fault tonight."

"It's none of your business. I won't sue him." Bo Tong said calmly, "Let your classmates go home. I'll take you home later."

Ruan Xiaojing looked up at Fang Zheng, and her doubts deepened. Why was Du Qingqing also present tonight? She was not able to come, but Du Qingqing showed up immediately, and was taken to the police station because of her.

Bo Tong walked up to Jiang Li and bowed, "Thank you police comrade for your help."

"You're welcome." Jiang Li quickly stretched out his hand to block it. "This is what I should do. Do you want to go to the hospital to bandage your hand? The infirmary can handle it casually. I'm afraid of infection later."

"Okay, thank you." Bo Tong praised sincerely: "The police are really amazing. A girl can subdue a grown man."

Wu Hanzhou hugged Jiang Li and said, "I still don't want her to be that powerful."

He Xinyan looked at Qi Xiangtian again, with doubts in her mind. Why did Song Qiaoran's fiancé Zhang Keyan hold Wu Linxi's hand from beginning to end? Did something unexpected happen?

Fang Zheng also looked at Qi Xiangtian. Why did he use Zhang Keyan's identity? What was his real identity? A normal person would not do such a thing. Was he forced to do so, or did he have ulterior motives towards the Song family?

Du Qingqing looked at Fang Zheng from afar. Ruan Xiaojing was standing next to him, making her want to get closer but unable to.

Ruan Xiaojing paid attention to where Du Qingqing's sight was. Her eyes were focused on Fang Zheng, full of tenderness, pitiful, and reluctant to leave...

-

In the car, Fang Zheng asked Ruan Xiaojing who was driving: "Didn't you drink tonight? So many cousins ​​didn't drink during the New Year's Eve?"
