Chapter 188: Piercing the Window Paper

Once Ning Weidong heard Ning Weiguo's assessment of that Qian Deputy Bureau Chief, he had a clear idea in his mind.

There is a saying: a gentleman can be deceived by what is proper.

Regardless of whether this gentleman is a "true gentleman" or a "hypocrite," at the very least, one must never let one's public persona slip in front of others.

Regarding this matter with Qian Xiaopeng, this Qian Deputy Bureau Chief not only cannot intervene, but he must also stay far away, fearing that he might get stained and ruin his own reputation.

Ning Weidong said, "Alright, I understand."

Ning Weiguo said, "You should also show some restraint; don't go too far."

Ning Weidong laughed, "I've already broken the man's leg, what more can I do? Now it just depends on what they intend to do. If they swallow this insult, then it ends here; if they are unwilling, then we shall see."

After saying this, Ning Weidong stood up, "I'm heading back then; you two get some rest early."

After coming out of Ning Weiguo's home, Ning Weidong stood at the entrance of the building and looked up at the moon in the sky.

Tonight was a rare, large moon, and the moonlight was white and bright.

Ning Weidong couldn't help but look at it for a few moments, and a feeling sprouted in his heart: although Ning Weiguo judged that the Qian Deputy Bureau Chief would not intervene, this matter was likely not over yet.

As this thought flashed through his mind, Ning Weidong gave a slight, cold smile.

At worst, soldiers will come to block and water will come to cover.

It was already past nine o'clock when he returned to the Dazayuan.

On a normal day, most families in the courtyard would have turned off their lights by this time, and even if they couldn't sleep, they would have laid down early to save on electricity.

Today, however, it was livelier than usual because of the incident with Bai Fengqin.

Just as Ning Weidong entered the courtyard, Lu Daye and a few men from the front yard were chatting and discussing what had just happened. Seeing Ning Weidong, they immediately called out, "Weidong is back~"

Ning Weidong responded, called out "Lu Daye," and nodded to the others.

Lu Daye was tactful enough not to ask what Ning Weidong had said at Ning Weiguo's house, and instead spoke with the others about the situation at the Police Station.

Ning Weidong didn't stay long either; he replied a few words and returned to the side courtyard.

He went to Bai Fengyu's house first, where Lu Dama was keeping the two sisters company.

Bai Fengqin's state was actually quite good; she had already recovered from the shock.

"Weidong is back~" Lu Dama greeted him.

Ning Weidong nodded and said, "I came over to check on Sister Bai and Fengqin; it's fortunate that you are here to keep them company."

Lu Dama said with a smile, "We are all children of this courtyard; when something happens, how could I just stand by and watch?"

Bai Fengyu, however, was somewhat worried. She knew that Ning Weidong had just gone to find Ning Weiguo, and that Qian Xiaopeng, whose leg had been broken, had some connections, so she didn't know what the situation was.

But with Lu Dama here, there were some things she couldn't easily ask.

Bai Fengqin, on the other hand, didn't have so many reservations and said directly, "Brother Weidong, I heard that Qian Xiaopeng has an uncle who is a high-ranking official. We broke his leg, will it be alright~"

Ning Weidong glanced at her, thinking to himself that this girl was quite loyal, saying "we" right off the bat.

In reality, although this matter was caused by Bai Fengqin, ever since Ning Weidong broke Qian Xiaopeng's leg, the nature of the matter had already changed.

Ning Weidong said, "Don't worry, it's fine~"

Lu Dama was taken aback; she had just come over to keep the Bai sisters company and didn't know the situation at the Police Station.

Ning Weidong didn't explain in detail either, and after comforting Bai Fengqin a little, he left.

He was an unmarried young man, and there were two beautiful women here; at the very least, he had to maintain appearances.

Bai Fengyu saw Ning Weidong to the door, her heart full of words she couldn't say.

Ning Weidong knew her difficulties, so taking advantage of the darkness outside, he patted the back of her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Bai Fengyu let out an "mm," all her thousands of words pressed deep in her heart.

Turning back into the room, she met Lu Dama's inquisitive gaze and managed to squeeze out a smile, "Dama, it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest? Fengqin and I are both fine."

Lu Dama nodded, comforted Bai Fengqin a few more times, and then left.

Returning home, she saw Lu Daye had just poured a cup of hot water in the room and immediately hurried forward a few steps to inquire about the situation: "Hey, dear, I heard that boy whose leg was broken has some background in his family. What exactly is the situation?"

Lu Daye said, "I don't know the specifics too well either. I heard it's some Deputy Bureau Chief. Ning Weidong went straight to his brother's place just now, and I don't know what was said."

"A Bureau Chief~" Lu Dama clicked her tongue and shook her head, "It really is a case of a beautiful woman causing trouble."

Lu Daye disagreed, saying, "You can't say it like that. It should be that one doesn't fear bad things, only bad people. That Bai Family brother, what kind of thing is he? Selling his own sister for three hundred yuan—is he even human?"

Lu Dama nodded, also feeling that the Bai brother was no good, but that was all; after all, in this matter, they were both just bystanders.

Another hour passed, and it was nearly ten o'clock.

Every household in the courtyard had gone to sleep, and the two Bai women had also turned off their lights, but neither of them was sleeping.

Bai Fengqin lay on the bed. The night was sultry, and she only had a corner of a towel blanket over her, exposing two large, white legs. She propped one leg up, touching it with her hand, and a thought couldn't help but pop into her mind: what would it feel like if her Brother Weidong touched these smooth legs?

Thinking of this, a wave of heart palpitations hit her, and she covered her chest with her other hand, but couldn't feel her heartbeat because the flesh was too thick.

Closing her eyes, her mind was full of Ning Weidong.

Beside her, Bai Fengyu tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and suddenly sat up. Bai Fengqin was startled: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Bai Fengyu said, "I can't, I have to go ask what the situation is."

Saying this, she began to put on her clothes.

Bai Fengqin knew she must be going to ask Ning Weidong, and thinking of the relationship between the two, her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.

She instinctively felt that Bai Fengyu was going for a secret meeting, but then thought that at such a time, it shouldn't be, so she simply sat up and said, "Sister, I'll go too."

Bai Fengyu didn't have any other intentions; she really just wanted to find Ning Weidong tonight to ask about the situation, otherwise, she wouldn't feel at ease.

Hearing that Bai Fengqin was going too, she didn't stop her and urged, "If you're going, hurry up and put on your clothes."

Bai Fengqin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly changed into a decent cloth shirt.

The two sisters took advantage of the night and, like thieves, arrived at the door of Ning Weidong's room.

The light was still on in Ning Weidong's room.

Bai Fengyu knocked lightly and called out, "Weidong."

Ning Weidong was also pondering the aftermath of the matter, not expecting Bai Fengyu to come.

Previously, his little affairs with Bai Fengyu only had a chance to happen when he sent Bai Fengqin to a classmate's house.

Logically, since Bai Fengqin was at home today, she shouldn't have come.

Thinking this to himself, Ning Weidong got up to open the door, only to see two people standing outside; Bai Fengqin had actually come too. A "fuck" almost slipped out—why bring another one? Could it be that to repay his kindness, these two sisters were going to pull an "Ehuang and Nüying" and grant him the blessing of having both?

It was only a fleeting thought; Ning Weidong didn't really expect such a good thing. He hurriedly ushered the two inside, as it wasn't easy to talk at the doorway, and it would inevitably lead to gossip if seen by others.

"Sister Bai, Sister Fengqin, what brings you two here?" Ning Weidong closed the door.

Bai Fengyu didn't waste words and asked directly: "Weidong, tell your sister the truth, is today's matter quite serious?"

Ning Weidong smiled, knowing Bai Fengyu was worried for him. Regardless of the motivation, having a woman like this who puts herself in your shoes to help you consider things—this feeling was actually quite good.

"Sister Bai, set your heart at ease," Ning Weidong said with confident certainty. "The other side has some connections, but they can't stir up any waves. Besides, we are in the right this time; even if it really goes to court, we have nothing to fear. Don't worry~"

Saying this, he looked at Bai Fengqin: "Sister Fengqin, you can also set your mind at ease; I will absolutely not let you be wronged."

Bai Fengqin pursed her lips and said: "Brother Weidong, I've thought about it. If it really doesn't work, I will... I will go to the university to report early."

Ning Weidong didn't expect Bai Fengqin to have already thought to this step, so he waved his hand and said: "No need, this is no longer your affair now."

Bai Fengqin opened her mouth, not knowing what else to say.

Ning Weidong continued: "Besides, if you leave now, those who don't know the truth will think we are in the wrong and feeling guilty. Listen to me, no need to leave; start school when you're supposed to start school."

Seeing Ning Weidong's attitude, the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a pity that with Bai Fengqin nearby, it wasn't convenient for Bai Fengyu to have any intimate actions with Ning Weidong, so they just exchanged a few words to serve as a reassurance, and the two of them went back.

Once in the room, they took off their clothes and lay on the bed.

Bai Fengqin suddenly whispered: "Sister, am I getting in your way?"

Bai Fengyu was stunned, shocked in her heart but evasive in her speech: "You silly girl, what are you saying~ talking nonsense."

Bai Fengqin simply poked through the window paper: "Sister, I know about you and Brother Weidong."

Bai Fengyu's body tensed up instantly, but soon relaxed again; in the dark night, her expression could not be seen.

Both sisters were silent, and only the sound of breathing could be heard.

After a long while, Bai Fengyu said: "When did you know?"

Bai Fengqin said: "I knew long ago. Once, I accidentally saw his hand inside your clothes."

Bai Fengyu let out a breath. She couldn't remember which time that was, so she simply stopped thinking about it and asked: "Why didn't you say anything earlier?"

Bai Fengqin's mood was complex, and she answered off-topic: "I think it's quite good. You always need a man to rely on, and at least Brother Weidong is more reliable than others."

Bai Fengyu said: "You... you didn't..."

Hearing her stammering, Bai Fengqin guessed the reason: "You want to talk about that time you introduced me to Brother Weidong as a potential partner?"

Bai Fengyu let out an "un," feeling a bit guilty about having her illicit affair with Ning Weidong exposed.

After all, it was she who had taken the initiative to propose introducing Bai Fengqin to Ning Weidong back then.

As a result, she ended up in Ning Weidong's bed herself.

Bai Fengqin shifted her body: "What does it matter? Brother Weidong didn't fancy me at all."

If Bai Fengqin and Ning Weidong had become a couple back then, she definitely wouldn't have tolerated the relationship between Bai Fengyu and Ning Weidong.

But now... Bai Fengqin actually felt a bit of secret joy in her heart; at least Ning Weidong was still half a brother-in-law to her, not someone completely unrelated.

It was also fortunate that there was this layer of connection, which was why Ning Weidong would stand up for them when this matter happened today.

Thinking of this, Bai Fengqin couldn't help but grit her teeth, and a bold idea sprouted in her heart.
