Chapter 379: Chapter 379: You Are the Answer to Me

Because of the rumors, Chen Ningxi wasn’t in a good mood, but hearing Cheng Qiaobei’s voice and his unconditional support somehow made things feel less daunting.

"I’ve been slandered at work, saying I have an inappropriate relationship with a young male colleague."

Cheng Qiaobei asked, "Did you report it to the police?"

Chen Ningxi said, "No, it was the male colleague who reported it."

"Sigh..." Cheng Qiaobei sighed lightly.

Chen Ningxi asked, "Shouldn’t he have reported it?"

Cheng Qiaobei replied, "Why didn’t you report it first?"

Chen Ningxi chuckled softly, "Why is your answer always unexpected to me?"

There were a few seconds of silence on the phone, and Chen Ningxi thought he had hung up, but seeing the call still ongoing on the screen, "...Qiaobei? Are you still listening?"

"...You’re with me, that’s the answer."

In Cheng Qiaobei’s heart, Chen Ningxi was always the only answer, no choices, no right or wrong, no multiple options, she would never be excluded.

Chen Ningxi smiled softly; being firmly chosen by someone is truly a wonderful thing.

"See you later," Chen Ningxi said.

Cheng Qiaobei comforted her, saying, "It’s okay, don’t worry about anything."

Chen Ningxi’s expression softened, "Okay."

Indeed, everything was just as he had arranged.

As Chen Ningxi’s car stopped at the police station entrance, a purple Jaguar stopped right behind.

The man who stepped out of the driver’s seat wore a formal business suit and introduced himself to Chen Ningxi before handing over a business card.

Chen Ningxi was greeting Lawyer Jin when Lu Xingyan came over, "Manager Chen, who is he?"

"This is Lawyer Jin, he’ll help us navigate through the whole process when we go in later."

Jin Wenbai looked at Lu Xingyan, "Hi, are you the other party involved, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Xingyan nodded, "Yes, nice to meet you, Lawyer Jin."

Jin Wenbai said, "Briefly explain the situation to me."

After finding out the details, Jin Wenbai asked Chen Ningxi, "What are your demands?"

Chen Ningxi replied succinctly, "Since they broke the law, as per my rough understanding, an administrative detention, right?"

Jin Wenbai nodded, "Yes. Is there anything else you want?"

Chen Ningxi asked, "Can I demand a public apology?"

Jin Wenbai: "Yes, you can."

Chen Ningxi: "That’s it."

Jin Wenbai: "Nothing else?"

Chen Ningxi understood he meant compensation for emotional distress, but she didn’t need money to compensate.

A public apology would leave a more lasting impression on them than a fine would.

"Nothing."

Jin Wenbai understood and then asked Lu Xingyan, whose demands were almost the same as Chen Ningxi, except for one additional request.

Lu Xingyan: "I want them to be transferred to different positions."

Jin Wenbai said, "A job transfer is beyond my scope of coordination; you need to bring this up with your workplace."

Lu Xingyan looked at Chen Ningxi, "Will they be transferred?"

Chen Ningxi didn’t answer immediately, "Job transfers aren’t minor issues; you can’t just get someone transferred with a few words, it needs approval from higher-ups."

Lu Xingyan felt a bit helpless, thinking about having to face those two in the future made him feel agitated.

"Understood."

Jin Wenbai gestured with his hand, "Let’s go inside."

Half an hour later, Cheng Qiaobei’s car stopped in front of the police station.

He hurriedly walked into the office building and unexpectedly saw Lu Xingyan in the corridor. Although they hadn’t met many times, Lu Xingyan had left a strong impression on Cheng Qiaobei.

Young, handsome, vibrant, with a good physique.

Full of enthusiasm and youthful energy.

For some reason, seeing that the male party involved in the rumor was Lu Xingyan, Cheng Qiaobei suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Lu Xingyan was leaning against the window in the corridor, making a phone call. Hearing footsteps, he glanced to the side and saw Cheng Qiaobei approaching. He said in a deep voice:

"Dad, I’ll talk to you later, I’ll call you back in a bit."

Lu Xingyan put away his phone and greeted Cheng Qiaobei. But compared to the mature and stable-looking Cheng Qiaobei in his crisp suit, he was wearing a deep blue work uniform today, which made him lose quite a bit of an imposing presence.

Cheng Qiaobei asked in a deep voice, "How’s the situation?"

Lu Xingyan tugged at his jacket, "The two who spread the rumors are detained inside, and Manager Chen is in the office with Lawyer Jin taking a statement," he looked at his phone again, "they just went in fifteen minutes ago."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "I’m not clear on the specifics; I need you to fill me in."

Lu Xingyan pressed his lips together, facing the family of the other party involved in the rumors, there were some things he found hard to convey, so he had to present it in a different way.

But Cheng Qiaobei wasn’t foolish; even if Lu Xingyan changed his phrasing, he could still grasp the meaning.

Even those derogatory terms that were hard to hear, while they made Cheng Qiaobei uncomfortable internally, his face still maintained a calm demeanor.

Cheng Qiaobei smiled slightly, "Still, thank you for proactively reporting this."

Lu Xingyan said, "If Liu Yahui hadn’t spread this around, the fewer people who know the better. But the reality is, she has spoken to many people about our so-called inappropriate relationship, and since it concerns Manager Chen’s reputation, we cannot keep it internal between just the four of us. This matter cannot be handled privately; they must be penalized to stop the rumors from spreading further."

Cheng Qiaobei noticed that in Lu Xingyan’s words, his protection of Chen Ningxi outweighed his own.

For a man to protect a woman, it’s not just a subordinate protecting a superior.

Cheng Qiaobei figured it out but didn’t say it out loud, "You’ve considered everything thoroughly, thank you on behalf of my wife."

Lu Xingyan awkwardly scratched his neck, "It’s nothing, I don’t want Manager Chen to be talked about either." Afraid that her husband would get the wrong idea, he quickly explained, "After all, I’m a victim too, and I hope for a legal and fair result."

Cheng Qiaobei just smiled silently.

Another half hour passed, and the door to the office in front opened, and Chen Ningxi and Lawyer Jin walked out.

Seeing Cheng Qiaobei in the hallway, she was briefly taken aback, "When did you get here?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Half an hour ago."

The four of them moved to a vacant mediation room to wait, and Cheng Qiaobei spoke with Lawyer Jin on the side.

Lu Xingyan found Chen Ningxi and said, "Manager Chen, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault you got dragged into this."

Chen Ningxi said, "What are you apologizing for, you’re not at fault. By the way, when did you report it to the police?"

Lu Xingyan said, "I messaged a childhood friend through WeChat and asked him to report it for me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ningxi said, "No wonder."

Lu Xingyan said, "Since this started because of me, I have to take responsibility for it, I can’t let you report it, if they hold a grudge, let it be against me."

Chen Ningxi frowned, "Why would you think that? Do you think I’m a coward?"

Lu Xingyan said, "That’s not what I meant."

"Lu Xingyan, you think I wouldn’t report it and just swallow my anger?" Chen Ningxi questioned.

Lu Xingyan remained silent, silence meant consent.

Chen Ningxi said, "Initially, I was using it as a scare tactic against them, but later I realized that Liu Yahui won’t stop until she hits a dead end, if you don’t teach her a lesson now, she won’t be able to keep her mouth shut in the future."
