223: Chapter 214 Chapter 211: Tasting Coffee 223: Chapter 214 Chapter 211: Tasting Coffee “Let’s just talk here!” Ye Chen glanced at Zhang Yantong.
“Can we…
go sit in a café for a bit?” Zhang Yantong pleaded as she looked at Ye Chen.
She was wearing a denim skirt, her legs sheathed in black silk stockings.
The allure of her long, jade legs was irresistible.
She had on a light-colored down jacket, hugging her delicate figure.
Perhaps due to her regular exercise, Zhang Yantong’s figure appeared exceptionally upright.
Seeing her so imploring, Ye Chen nodded and said, “Alright, let’s sit down!”
As soon as Ye Chen agreed, Zhang Yantong imdiately showed a relieved smile.
Following the principle of choosing a place nearby, the two picked a Starbucks close by and ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee.
They chose a booth and sat on the comfortable sofa, where the interior design was very inviting, making the place feel exceptionally cozy.
“What did you want to talk to about?” Ye Chen took a sip of black coffee.
As soon as the coffee touched his palate, the bitterness wrinkled his entire face as if it had been folded into a chrysanthemum.
He almost spat it out.
Pfft…
Zhang Yantong laughed.
She extended two slender fingers and picked up a small packet of sugar from the side, then tore it open and sprinkled it into Ye Chen’s coffee, saying, “Black coffee is only for those who really understand coffee.
As for us, we’ll never get a taste of coffee’s true essence.
So, it’s best to add so sugar and a milkshake!”
Ye Chen looked at her and still asked coldly, “Can we get to the point?
I am busy with other things!”
“Ye Chen, I just hope that other factors don’t interfere too much with our talk today, okay?” Zhang Yantong pleaded as she looked at him and said, “As a police officer, you should understand my difficulties!”
Bang!
Ye Chen slamd his cup down on the table, saying, “At the ti, you weren’t wearing a police uniform, and besides, you had already resigned from the police station.
Fang Qin is the team leader.
You are nothing, and frankly, you were my friend, but you spoke from soone else’s point of view.
Do you know who you were helping?
Liu Jiangqiu!”
Zhang Yantong turned her head to look out the window, knowing she wasn’t a police officer at that ti, but…
“Yes, I’m not a police officer anymore, but I can’t forget the oath I took under the party flag!” Zhang Yantong gritted her teeth and said, “I will never forget the nurturing of the party and the country, nor the national emblem on my cap.
So deep down, I am still a police officer, even if I went to the provincial capital, I would be working in the Provincial Public Security Departnt.”
“Yes, you have your mission, but I have my responsibilities too!” Ye Chen suddenly looked at Zhang Yantong defiantly, his face arrogant, and his eyes coldly fixed on hers, said, “Mrs.
Liu has been kind to us, we cannot just watch her being poisoned to death.”
“You can call the police!” Zhang Yantong gritted her teeth as she looked at Ye Chen.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen almost smashed his coffee cup, holding back his anger forcibly, he said, “Call the police?!
Why don’t you ask Fang Qin if I called the police?!
Why don’t you ask the police how they refused to file our case?!”
“But you could go to the Provincial Security Departnt, and if that doesn’t work, then go to Beijing to file a complaint, can’t you?!” Zhang Yantong said coldly.
Slap!
Ye Chen finally slamd the cup down on the table, and yelled, “Petition?!
Do you want to disappear?
The path to petition in China is difficult, harder than ascending to the heavens!”
Zhang Yantong suddenly fell silent.
Faced with the state of society now, the path to petition was endless.
Zhang Yantong was well aware of these situations, it’s just a pity that the current state of society cannot be changed.
Faced with Ye Chen’s rebuke, Zhang Yantong’s proud head lowered because her self-proclaid just society was suddenly punctured by Ye Chen, and her heart felt cold.
“I was planning to leave today, but because of you, I postponed until next week.” Zhang Yantong turned her head to look at Ye Chen and said, “Can we put the past behind us, okay?
Do you have ti to see off next Friday?”
“I should be able to,” Ye Chen nodded.
“Also, I…
I have sothing else I want to say to you!” Zhang Yantong looked at Ye Chen earnestly and said, “Even though Jiang Zhonggen saved you this ti, I still hope you keep your distance from him.
After all, Jiang Zhonggen is an old fox.”
Though Jiang Zhonggen had been rescued, one’s nature cannot change.
Especially considering the things Jiang Zhonggen had done before, even if he was released this ti, if he reached out his hand again, he would surely be caught.
If there is a next ti, absolutely no one will be able to save his life again.
“I know this better than you do!” Ye Chen glanced at her.
“Fine,” Zhang Yantong stood up, “since you know better, I won’t disturb you anymore!” She then turned and left the room.
Watching Zhang Yantong’s retreating figure, sothing seed to stir in Ye Chen’s heart.
Her silhouette was so tragically beautiful, so desolate.
The mont she stood up, a hint of disappointnt flashed in her eyes.
Ye Chen remained seated, still in Starbucks, watching Zhang Yantong’s figure fade away; then he suddenly stood up and chased after her.
However, Zhang Yantong had already disappeared…
“Sotis, am I just being too stubborn?” Ye Chen muttered to himself.
Ye Chen turned and left, driving to the Liu Family’s ho.
When he arrived at the slum area, a crowd was gathered; he didn’t know what had happened until he walked in and saw Chen Shuai grabbing Liu Momo, seemingly in the middle of an argunt over sothing.
“Momo, co to my house,” Chen Shuai’s face was flushed as he said, “My family owns a 100-square-ter apartnt in Jiangnan No.1, three bedrooms and two living rooms, you can pick any room you like.”
“There’s no need!” Liu Momo pulled away from Chen Shuai’s grip, saying, “Even if I were to live in slums with Ye Chen, I’d be willing to.
Besides, Brother Chen moved out of his own room for and even redecorated it!”
“Anything Ye Chen can do, I can too, and even things he can’t do, I can!” Chen Shuai was furious.
Faced with the girl he had long admired, a youthful desire was sprouting within him.
He had long wanted to push Liu Momo down and had lost count of how many tis he had fantasized about it in the dead of night.
“Shut up!” Liu Momo glared at Chen Shuai, saying, “Brother Chen is willing to sacrifice himself for , can you?”
“I can too!” Chen Shuai roared back.
Clang!
Liu Momo walked to the side and then threw a waterlon knife from the wall on the ground, saying, “Then try it!”
“I…” Chen Shuai was stunned, staring at the waterlon knife on the ground.
He hadn’t expected Liu Momo to be so direct.
His previous statent was just a spur of the mont.
The idea of actually dying for Liu Momo was unthinkable.
Looking at the waterlon knife on the ground, Liu Momo said coldly, “Go on, die then!”
Chen Shuai, grinding his teeth, said, “Momo, you have to believe , I truly care about you!”
“Move!” Liu Momo clenched her teeth and began walking out with her suitcase, Li Wen and Qianqian guarding her on either side.
Chen Shuai blocked their way, determined not to let them pass.
A bunch of boys were egging on from the side, all there to support Chen Shuai.
As the student council president of the school’s departnt, he had a certain degree of authority.
Chen Shuai sneered, “What do you think I am, to co and go at your beck and call?
Let tell you, Chen Shuai is not soone you can bully.”
“What do you want?” Li Wen couldn’t stand it anymore.
Although Chen Shuai seed rich and handso, he knew very well that Liu Momo didn’t like him, yet he still harassed her relentlessly.
Li Wen felt nothing but contempt for such a man.
She had initially felt so attraction, but now her feelings had completely changed.
Chen Shuai glared at Li Wen and snapped, “Bitch, you have no place to speak here!”
“I just despise people like you who are relentless and stubborn!” Li Wen sneered coldly, “Compared to Ye Chen, you are not just a little inferior, but worlds apart.”
Slap!
Chen Shuai advanced and slapped Li Wen hard across the face, a move nobody anticipated.
Even the boys Chen Shuai had called for support hadn’t thought he would strike a woman.
As fellow n, while they fantasized a little about Liu Momo, they could never bring themselves to hit a woman.
Li Wen, holding her face, gaped in shock at Chen Shuai and exclaid in disbelief, “You hit ?!”
“Yes, I hit you, you deserved it!” Chen Shuai was furious.
He approached again, seething, “I wish I could kill you!”
Just as Chen Shuai’s palm was about to hit Li Wen’s face again, a strong hand parted the crowd and grabbed Chen Shuai’s hand.
Chen Shuai was taken aback, ready to turn around and unleash a torrent of anger at whoever dared to interfere.
But before he could turn his head, a piercing pain shot through his hand.
