Chapter 14 Jisoo's sob
The police officers nearby finally noticed this.
A young patrolman walked over and was visibly taken aback when he saw Ding Lilan wearing a leather jacket.
"What's going on?"
Ding Lilan smiled and replied, "It was self-defense. These men, armed with weapons, broke into our store, smashed the glass door, and attempted to attack our employees. To protect their personal safety and property, I took limited measures to stop them."
The patrolman opened his mouth.
The logic is sound.
But the scene of a female shop assistant stepping on a man who was over 1.8 meters tall and laughing while saying "limited restraint" was really incongruous.
Li Zhengyi took out a cigarette, lit it, and patted the young patrolman on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work. The tools these people used to commit the crime are all on the ground, and the surveillance cameras captured the entire process. You can make copies whenever needed."
In the alley, the thugs were escorted into police cars one by one.
As the leather jacket was pulled up from the ground, it passed by Li Zhengyi and said through gritted teeth.
"Kid, you wait, that sugar daddy is really rich."
Li Zheng flicked away the cigarette ash.
"Have her come. Tell her the convenience store is always open and welcomes you."
He turned around and sighed at the shattered glass door.
"How much money will we have to pay in compensation...?"
One o'clock in the morning.
The interrogation room at the Kowloon Village Police Station was brightly lit, and the leather jackets and thugs were all locked inside.
When Li Zhengyi finished giving his statement, he encountered a middle-aged man in plain clothes in the corridor.
The man stood next to the vending machine, holding a cup of instant coffee. When he saw Li Zhengyi come out, he smiled and waved.
"Uncle Cui? What brings you here?"
Choi Kyung Ho.
The landlord of the building where the convenience store is located.
He is also the public owner of the convenience store.
He has a son and a daughter.
My daughter's name is Choi Ye-na...
But the person standing next to him right now is no ordinary person.
Standing next to Choi Kyung-ho was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and carrying a briefcase.
"Who is this?"
"Attorney Jin is my old friend's son. I brought him here after hearing the shop was vandalized. Don't worry, I'll handle the rest. You don't need to worry about compensation, lawsuits, or dealing with the police."
"Then I'll have to trouble Attorney Kim."
Li Zhengyi bowed slightly.
He already knew who was behind it all, so he had no interest in the subsequent interrogation.
After explaining what happened next, Li Zhengyi and Ding Lilan came out of the police station.
It was late at night in Kowloon Village, and only the distant flashing lights of patrol cars remained in the alleyways.
"Senior, about someone spying on us..." Ding Lilan suddenly spoke up.
"You saw it too."
"Yes, that reflection appeared on the rooftop of the seven-story residential building. It disappeared once about six minutes after the conflict started, and reappeared thirty seconds before the police left. The other side was at least equipped with binoculars, and possibly night vision equipment as well."
Ding Lilan walked silently, her tone calm and even.
"Judging from the timing, this is the person who called the police. Ordinary bystanders wouldn't call the police before a conflict breaks out."
Li Zhengyi didn't reply, he just walked away.
The night wind blew in from the alley, making his work jacket flutter loudly.
I've had this feeling for two and a half years.
Someone was secretly watching him, but he couldn't find them every time he turned around.
We finally found the evidence today.
Two things are certain at this point.
First, the people monitoring him do not intend to harm him; in fact, they are protecting him.
Second, Kim Tae-ah, the little princess of Kakao's newly rich family, has already started the war. All because of a race and a middle finger.
Noon the next day.
Li Zhengyi was awakened by his phone vibrating.
It's not an alarm clock, it's Jisoo's Kakao Talk.
[Oppa!!! What happened to the store?! All the glass is shattered!!! Police tape has been put up!!!]
Several of them are filled with exclamation marks.
Next: [Are you hurt?! Where are you?!]
You could see those big, anxious eyes almost bringing tears to your eyes, even through the screen.
Li Zheng replied: "I'm fine. Some thugs caused trouble last night, but the police have already dealt with it."
Instant reply: 【I'll be right there】
Li Zhengyi looked at the screen and sighed.
A minute later, there was a knock on the door, as urgent as a woodpecker's.
As soon as he opened the door, Kim Jisoo rushed in, carrying her lunchbox.
She put the lunchbox on the table and circled him three times.
She touched his head, then his shoulders, then his arms, and finally cupped his face, turning it from side to side as if inspecting something fragile.
"Oppa, your face is a little red. Did they hit you?"
"That's from sleeping on it."
"This one in my hand."
"It was from the oden pot last night, it has nothing to do with the thugs."
Kim Jisoo finally stopped and took a step back.
Then Li Zhengyi saw that the water in those big eyes began to move, her nose turned red, her lips were pursed into a line, and the little pearl was not about to fall, but was already gathering strength.
Kim Jisoo sniffed hard.
"No, Oppa can't stay here anymore. Kowloon Village is too dangerous; it's full of thugs, drunkards, and bad guys. They might smash up your shop today, and they might smash up your door tomorrow."
She grabbed Li Zhengyi's sleeve and looked up at him.
"Oppa, how about we move somewhere else? I'll help you find a place. I have New Year's money and pocket money, so I can pay the rent. No, just consider it a loan. You can pay me back when you become a big boss."
The tears in his eyes finally fell, one drop landing on the back of Li Zhengyi's hand.
"Oppa, you can't refuse."
Li Zheng looked down at the tear on the back of his hand, then at her red eyes.
Her face, still slightly chubby, was filled with the earnestness and stubbornness that every teenage girl possesses.
This little girl has been following him around calling him "Oppa" since she was three years old.
She has grown into a beautiful young woman.
He suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
"……I see."
Jisoo's eyes lit up: "You agreed? Really? You can't lie!"
"I'm not lying, but I'll find the apartment myself, and you won't need to pay for it."
"No! I'll look with you!"
"Okay, okay, okay."
Li Zhengyi walked out, saying, "I'll eat later. I'll go check on the shop first; the landlord is still waiting over there."
Kim Jisoo chased him to the door and yelled at his back.
"We've made a promise, and we can't go back on it. We'll go look at houses this afternoon."
"knew……"
When Li Zheng came downstairs, he stopped half a step at the entrance of the stairwell.
He raised his hand and rubbed his chest; sure enough, he hadn't slept well last night.
Then he continued walking downstairs.
At the entrance of the convenience store, Choi Kyung-ho was directing workers to remove broken glass.
Ding Lilan, dressed in a convenience store uniform, was helping to tidy up the scattered goods.
When he saw Lee Jung-il coming over, Choi Kyung-ho greeted him.
"Zhengyi, don't worry, the new glass will be installed this afternoon."
"Will the cost be deducted from the rent?"
"Stop talking nonsense, this will get you to spend money."
Li Zhengyi walked over to Ding Lilan and whispered.
"Tell your dad to put our family's affairs aside for now; we won't get anywhere in a day or two anyway. Focus on keeping an eye on Kim Tae-ah's woman first."
"Senior already knows who's behind this?" Ding Lilan asked in surprise.
"Yeah, we had a bit of a falling out before. She's the only daughter of the Kakao family, a crazy woman who's probably ruined her brain with all that plastic surgery."
"it is good."
Suddenly, my phone rang.
It's Kim Soo-ho.
The first sentence is...
"Zhengyi! My car has been vandalized!"
