Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Are You a Couple?

The patrol car arrived quickly, even faster than the ambulance.

However, the ambulance wasn’t much slower, arriving just a minute or so later.

Looking at Zhang Dongqiang lying on the ground with serious injuries, unconscious, then at Chen Wei, who wore a smile on his face and showed no sign of remorse.

"..." Tang Qing raised her hand to her forehead, really not knowing what she did wrong in her last life to always run into this guy no matter where she was.

Originally, Tang Qing had been ready to finish her shift and head home, when she suddenly received a report of a drunken brawl.

She had thought it was a typical case, never imagining that Chen Wei would be the protagonist again.

"Tell me, why did you get into a fight?" Tang Qing took out her notebook and approached Chen Wei.

Although she knew Chen Wei had a special identity, the proper procedures still had to be followed in front of so many people.

Before Chen Wei could say anything, Shen Junlan, protective as a mother hen, stepped forward, "No! Miss Officer, you’ve misunderstood, he only acted because he was protecting me. If there’s any responsibility to be pursued, please pursue mine. This matter has nothing to do with him at all!"

"No way!" With her arms crossed in front of her chest and a vigorous wave, Shen Junlan looked serious, desperately trying to clear Chen Wei of any connection to the incident.

Watching her strive so earnestly, Chen Wei felt warmth in his heart, while Tang Qing was left speechless.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly recognized the person.

After a moment of recollection, she finally remembered seeing her before at the movie theater.

If she remembered correctly, she was the author of the novel "Dominating the World," the basis for that movie.

Looking from Chen Wei to Shen Junlan, her gaze moving back and forth between them.

At such a time, in such a place, coupled with Shen Junlan’s protective behavior, it was hard to believe there wasn’t something going on between them, and Tang Qing certainly didn’t believe otherwise.

"Miss, in matters like this, whoever throws the punch is responsible, it’s not whatever you say it is," Tang Qing firmly rebutted.

"But..." Shen Junlan clearly hadn’t recognized Tang Qing.

As she was about to say more, Tang Qing forcefully interrupted, "There’s no but! You, come with us for an investigation!"

Seeing that Chen Wei wasn’t answering but instead took out his cell phone, Tang Qing asked warily, "What, what do you think you’re doing?"

"I’m calling your boss; I remember I should have his number saved correctly," Chen Wei said with a smirky grin.

This guy!

In Tang Qing’s eyes, his expression at that moment, calling him a devil, wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

"Fine! Pretend I didn’t say anything, that settles it, doesn’t it?" Noticing that the barbecue restaurant had surveillance installed, Tang Qing’s gaze shifted to a junior officer, instructing him, "Go extract the surveillance footage."

"Yes!"

It was then that the crowd began to realize Chen Wei was not as simple as he appeared.

They hadn’t expected Tang Qing, who was so tough just a moment ago, to back down so quickly.

"..." About to speak, Shen Junlan decisively shut her mouth.

Upon reflection, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it seemed, especially the exchange of looks between the two.

This looked like they were acting impartially.

But as a writer who was good at writing romantic scenes, plus being a woman...

Shen Junlan couldn’t help but feel that the two were engaging in... open flirting in front of everyone!

"Be careful yourself, don’t make too many enemies, or you might end up not knowing how you died!" Tang Qing warned Chen Wei out of kindness.

"Then when the time comes, I’ll trouble you to take care of my remains," Chen Wei joked.

"You! Ugh!" Lifting her raised hand, she let it fall heavily, giving up.

There are always those who frustrate you because they do not meet your expectations.

"Sister Qing, I’ve got the surveillance data," said Miss Officer as she returned to Tang Qing’s side, reporting on her work.

"Mmm, let’s head back," Tang Qing said, turning to leave but not before giving Chen Wei a fierce glare.

Thus, Shen Junlan became even more convinced of what she had been thinking.

As the saying goes, "a beating is affection, scolding is love; without beating, there’s no getting along."

She always felt that between Chen Wei and Tang Qing, there was that kind of special atmosphere.

"Alright, let’s not worry about them anymore. You ordered so much barbecue; eat it while it’s hot and tasty," Chen Wei suggested.

He grabbed a stool from next door and sat down.

"Okay, sure," Shen Junlan agreed.

To be honest, she was actually quite curious about what this street barbecue would taste like.

She had only ever had it in five-star hotels before, where it was quite good, but the portions were pitifully small and the price outrageously expensive.

That was nothing compared to the iron plates piled high with various meats on skewers before her now, which looked much more satisfying.

The garnishes of chopped green onions, red pickled radish, and minced Sichuan lovage made it look quite appealing.

The two of them ate as they clinked glasses.

For Shen Junlan’s first street barbecue experience, overall, it wasn’t bad.

It was numbingly spicy, and the more she ate, the more addictive it became.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, did you already know Miss Officer from before?" Shen Junlan asked, putting down her bamboo skewer, pulling out a napkin, and wiping her mouth, unable to contain her curiosity.

"Yeah, I know her, it’s been quite some time," Chen Wei responded honestly without hiding anything.

"So... are you and she in a relationship?" Shen Junlan had an attitude of insisting on getting to the bottom of it.

"Cough cough cough!" Chen Wei never expected such a question and choked in surprise, coughing violently.

He quickly grabbed a chilled beer and gulped it down, which made him feel much better.

"Why would you ask that?" Chen Wei, still somewhat red-faced—not from shyness but from the choking—asked.

"Because her gaze towards you was very special, severe on the surface but tender inside. I’ve only seen that kind of look between lovers," Shen Junlan said, voicing her observations.

"It seems you’re not as hostile towards her as you appear on the surface," she added, sharing her thoughts.

Chen Wei laughed, "I didn’t expect Writer Shen to be so observant. However, she and I are just ordinary friends, or perhaps you could describe us as... ’frenemies’?"

"It seems like every time we meet, it’s accompanied by argument; nothing good ever happens," he commented, and even Chen Wei himself couldn’t help but laugh.

"Is that so..." Shen Junlan didn’t question it further.

"It’s the same with me," she murmured softly.

"Hmm?" Chen Wei, not quite hearing her, asked, "What’s the same?"

"Nothing! Nothing at all!" Shen Junlan quickly shook her head and gestured with her hands, her smile awkward.

Chen Wei’s ears were sharper than she had imagined.

"I see," Chen Wei said, letting it go without pursuing further.

Shen Junlan’s reaction hardly seemed like nothing at all.

Setting down the bamboo skewer, Chen Wei’s expression turned serious as he got back to the point, "Right! Didn’t you say over the phone that you had something to discuss with me?"

"Yes!" It was only then that Shen Junlan remembered she had something important to say and had instead said a whole bunch of things she shouldn’t have.

"What is it?" Chen Wei continued to ask.

"Mr. Chen, your current situation is very dangerous; I suggest you leave the country for a while!"
