Chapter 1111: A Dog Driven to a Wall
Outside the Happy Song residential complex, Li Qihang stared intently at everyone entering and exiting.
He had been staking out and tailing them for a week.
The sweltering heat and mosquito bites did not make him retreat, because the anger in his heart made him fearless.
Over the past week, he had personally seen Lucy and Wang Yan acting intimately while coming and going twice. There was another time when he followed them, watching as the two of them went to a hotel after dinner, not walking out intimately until noon the next day.
How could he not understand now? This was a pair of scoundrels colluding together, the dog-man and dog-woman who ruined their family and destroyed their happy and beautiful life!
Lucy had been keeping him on a string, playing with him! He felt even more enraged by this fact.
However, although he was angry, he did not blame Lucy. Because he already knew the truth of the matter; he could understand, and he did not believe Lucy had the ability to bring their family to this point—all of this was caused by Wang Yan. Wang Yan could not be forgiven, and even less could he be let off.
His recent tailing had basically allowed him to grasp Wang Yan's routine. He woke up early every day, went for a run, practiced boxing to exercise his body, occasionally drove out to meet clients, and occasionally went out with a camera, gone for the whole day. He ate at roadside stalls and big restaurants outside, seemingly aimless, seemingly wanting for nothing.
Just this morning, he watched Wang Yan and Lucy doing morning exercises, watched them eat breakfast together, watched Lucy leave to find work, and watched Wang Yan stroll out with his camera slung over his shoulder, hailing a taxi to leave Happy Song.
He had already mastered the pattern: Wang Yan walked out, so he would inevitably walk back. This provided him with an opportunity...
Wang Yan was indeed walking back. Just outside the Happy Song complex, on that road with moderate traffic, he had taken group photos for five different families because the sunset glow today was beautiful.
Having harvested people's joyful praise once more, Wang Yan then walked toward the main gate of the complex, still in that strolling, self-amused manner, as if he had discovered nothing.
It was also at this moment that Li Qihang revealed the sharp knife he had bought, quickly crossed the road, and headed straight for Wang Yan.
It was just the time for people to get off work; there were cars honking when he crossed the road, and people gasping when he ran holding the knife. Naturally, Wang Yan's attention was also drawn.
Li Qihang saw the shock in Wang Yan's eyes, and immediately he saw Wang Yan turn and run. He was very smug, shouting, "Wang Yan, aren't you very tough? Aren't you good at fighting? Come on then!"
"Li Qihang, you had better calm down." Wang Yan didn't run far before stopping again, because there were children nearby. He held his hands out, palms down, hoping Li Qihang could control his emotions.
But Li Qihang's movements didn't stop at all. Wang Yan's initial running had displayed fear, but this fear only made him more excited. He shouted, "F*** you, Wang Yan! I'll kill you!"
He charged at Wang Yan with the knife. Wang Yan dodged narrowly, kicked Li Qihang in the buttocks, and ran in the opposite direction. He also shouted, "Call the police! Call the police!"
Li Qihang fell flat on his face, nearly stabbing himself to death with the knife he was clutching tightly, but his brain was congested with blood now, his body pumped full of adrenaline, and he felt no fear at all. All he felt was the surging hot blood driving a strength he had never possessed before.
He shouted and charged at Wang Yan again.
Wang Yan still had a look of panic, still dodged narrowly, and still kicked Li Qihang in the back. However, Li Qihang was growing in battle; he learned the lesson from the previous kick and learned to swing the knife back after missing, but Wang Yan's kick was still a bit faster.
So Li Qihang was still kicked back repeatedly, finally falling onto his back. But he remained tenacious, quickly climbing up to continue holding the sharp knife and coming to kill Wang Yan.
Thus, it returned to the previous rhythm: he ran, he chased, he swung the knife, he kicked, he ran again, he chased again...
At this time, Ye Zhenzhen, who had gotten off work early, had picked up He Minhong on the way and driven back to Happy Song, only to get stuck in traffic when turning into the complex.
"It's really strange today, there's a traffic jam at the gate of the complex?" Ye Zhenzhen muttered.
He Minhong in the passenger seat looked around; her angle was better. At this look, she let out an involuntary gasp: "There's someone holding a knife and killing people over there, the one being chased seems to be Brother Yan..."
"What? Did you see clearly?"
Although she was asking, Ye Zhenzhen had already unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out, running over quickly. From afar, piercing through the crowd of onlookers standing far away, she saw Wang Yan maneuvering with Li Qihang in the middle of the field.
Without a word, she immediately took out her phone to call the police, and the result she got was that they had already been dispatched. She wanted to help, but didn't know what to do, so she could only pace around anxiously on the outside.
He Minhong also followed up: "It really is Brother Yan, that person is Lucy's colleague, called Li..."
"Li Qihang." Ye Zhenzhen's eyes looked everywhere, hoping to find some tool to help Wang Yan, but there was no result.
However, she didn't worry for much longer, because Li Qihang didn't know how to conserve his strength, and his adrenaline couldn't last too long. These few minutes of intense activity had already left him panting, his footsteps heavy, and even staggering.
It was also at this moment that the residential complex security guards, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, took action. After Wang Yan kicked Li Qixing down once again, they rushed over with their long forks and sticks, pinned the man to the ground, and struck Li Qixing's hands hard until he let go of the knife. They then kicked it aside, finally bringing the situation under control.
"Wang Yan!"
"Brother Yan!"
"Are you alright?" X2
Wang Yan panted heavily, standing with his hands on his knees, looking very tired. He shook his head: "Didn't stab me, just a bit tired. My body is quite good, I don't pant like this even after running over ten kilometers, and I can persist in other exercises too. I didn't expect being chased by someone to be so deadly, wouldn't you say, Dr. Ye?"
Ye Zhenzhen naturally understood what Wang Yan was saying. She didn't expect that even in this state, this dead scumbag still had the mind to flirt with her.
She immediately rolled her eyes: "You almost really became a dead scumbag. You got your life back, just be happy about it. I called the police just now, they said many people called, and the police will be here soon. Why don't you sit down and rest for a while?"
"No need, go get me a bottle of water, I'm a bit thirsty."
"I'll go, I'll go, right away, Brother Yan." He Minhong volunteered, trotting away.
Watching Wang Yan take a cigarette out of his pocket and light it, Ye Zhenzhen asked: "What's going on? Is he crazy?"
"He must be crazy, wanting to die together with me." Wang Yan smiled and said, "You know, didn't I have a feud with him? That dog of a father of his even called to threaten me, but there was no movement, yet I took it seriously. So I collected quite a bit of criminal evidence and reported his father, which caused quite a stir. His father was arrested, and his assets were frozen. Since he has no more good days, isn't it natural he came to me for revenge?"
"But I really overestimated him. A thing that bullies the weak and fears the strong, I didn't expect him to have the guts to risk his life; this might be what they call a dog driven to a wall. But his luck isn't very good; I didn't die, and now only he is finished. Intentional homicide, attempted, seems to be three to ten years?"
"Wuwuwu..." Li Qihang's mouth had already been stuffed, and two security guards were pressing down on him hard. He could only wuwuwu, only struggle angrily.
"Look, isn't this a dog barking in desperation?" Wang Yan flicked the ash lightly, which got into his eyes.
Just as he said, Li Qihang's situation now was different from the original drama, with a huge disparity. Moreover, Lucy was his obsession that he couldn't get, and Wang Yan was a demon-like character in his life. It was understandable that he had some hot-headedness.
However, after just over a minute, He Minhong trotted back with a bottle of water. Wang Yan had only taken one sip when the sound of police sirens came from afar, along with irritable shouting.
This was understandable; a criminal with a knife appeared in the jurisdiction, and the leaders of the branch bureau must have received the news from the police center immediately. The local police station must have been in chaos, and the station chief must have come.
In less than a minute, a group of police officers wearing stab-proof vests ran over. They saw the situation from afar, came over to take over the work of the security guards, handcuffed Li Qihang, and took him away.
Other police officers began talking to the onlookers, not letting them spread the video, and also asked for videos from multiple angles. Afterward, they let the crowd disperse, directed traffic, and retrieved the complex's surveillance, surrounding security surveillance, etc., doing a very thorough job.
In fact, their response was already very fast; from start to finish, it only took about ten minutes. It was the evening rush hour now, so they couldn't drive fast even with sirens on. Not to mention that a whole street here was blocked, so it wasn't easy for them to get in.
Once at the scene, everyone performed their duties, controlling the situation immediately and handling the aftermath. It was foreseeable that they wouldn't have a good night's sleep tonight; they had to investigate and close the case as quickly as possible.
After confirming Wang Yan's safety, the police officers very politely invited Wang Yan into the police car, and together with Li Qihang, went to the nearby police station to make a statement.
Ye Zhenzhen let He Minhong go back first, while she drove to the police station...
The police in big cities naturally have quite a high capacity for acceptance. When understanding the cause and process of the matter from Wang Yan, listening to Wang Yan speak about various things without concealment, there was basically no big reaction.
Just like that, without any other twists and turns, it was already past eight o'clock when he walked out of the police station after finishing the statement.
"Yo, are two big beauties waiting for me?" Wang Yan looked at Ye Zhenzhen and Lucy with a smile, and laughed at Lucy, "Why did you run over here? Don't worry, I'm fine, nothing happened at all. On the contrary, Li Qihang is miserable; he'll have to be locked up for three, five, seven, or eight years."
Wang Yan was not surprised that Lucy came after receiving the news. He Minhong would definitely have said something, and there was also the Happy Song owner group, which must have spread it everywhere by now.
"I'm sorry..."
"Alright, it's no big deal." Wang Yan patted her arm and said, "I also provoked that Dai Wei, their family isn't clean either, maybe he wants to kill me too. In the final analysis, it's because I don't treat people with kindness. I'm prepared for this kind of situation, it's not a big problem. Let's go, let's go eat something, I'm a bit hungry after all this tossing and turning."
So the three of them got into Ye Zhenzhen's car and found a restaurant to eat.
"Have you already reported Dai Wei's family?" Ye Zhenzhen asked.
"Inevitably, I won't take his crap. It would be best if he also came to chase me, so he can keep Li Qihang company; they will definitely be able to play well together inside."
Wang Yan looked at Lucy, who was eating and drinking quietly, and said, "Now you can completely put your heart at ease; this matter ends here, and there will be no future troubles. Oh right, there is another woman in their family; if she can't think straight, then we'll discuss it again."
"Hmm." Lucy nodded in response, looking at Wang Yan with deep affection.
Ye Zhenzhen looked back and forth, and suddenly said: "Right, I haven't told Honghong and the others yet; Jiji and the others are all worried about your situation."
"They knew I was fine early on, what's there to worry about."
"After entering the police station, it just feels different."
"It's not like I committed a crime." Wang Yan had a look of 'I've already seen through your little thoughts'.
Giving someone a roll of the eyes, Ye Zhenzhen said: "Lucy, I heard you're looking for a job recently? How is it going?"
"Found a finance job at an internet company, passed the interview today, and will officially start work next week."
"Congratulations, Lucy, you're about to start a new chapter in your life."
Lucy shook her head and smiled: "What new chapter, isn't it still a worker selling their life for others? My new company is in e-commerce, and it has received financing. The boss interviewed me personally. As expected of an internet company, they made me download their app on the spot to experience the shopping process, and also told me about stock options, etc. They are really good at bluffing."
This could be considered Lucy hiding her gratitude and heartache for Wang Yan, opening the conversation, and chatting with Ye Zhenzhen.
Wang Yan was naturally not someone who would ruin the atmosphere, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, and everyone chatted very happily.
Just like that, after eating, the three of them went back in one car and returned to their respective homes.
Wang Yan didn't take Li Qihang's matter to heart; this belonged to a small episode. Of course, he was indeed a bit disheveled, but that was the normal dishevelment that should be there. If he were a hooligan, Wang Yan guaranteed he would kick him to death...
After taking a shower, he replied to the concerns of Zhu Zhe, He Minhong, and Yu Chuhui. Among them, He Minhong had the most words, Zhu Zhe was second, and Yu Chuhui was the least, with only two or three sentences.
This was also a portrayal of his relationship with the three women of 2202...
There are always many coincidences in the world. Ye Zhenzhen and Lucy, who went home to tidy up and wash up, opened their doors at the same time. Across the corridor, looking at each other, they had the same realization.
"What a coincidence." Ye Zhenzhen said casually. She walked out and closed the door, "I want to eat ice cream, but there isn't any at home, so I'm going downstairs to buy some. Do you want to eat any? I'll bring some back for you."
"It really is quite a coincidence." Lucy smiled, "But no need, I can't handle eating ice cream this late. Thank you."
While speaking, she wanted to close the door and go back in.
"Hey? Lucy, what are you doing? Why are you going back in?"
"I thought about it and felt that Wang Yan must have been frightened, so I wanted to have a good chat with him, at least to comfort him. But then I thought again, it's a bit late at this hour, he must be resting, so I'll find another opportunity to chat with him tomorrow. I'm going back to sleep, Zhenzhen, you take care."
"Okay, good night." Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand with a smile.
Lucy nodded in response, then closed the door.
Ye Zhenzhen stood at the elevator entrance, turned back to look at the stairwell of the fire escape. After thinking, she finally shook her head, reached out and pressed the elevator button, calling the elevator up.
The elevator arrived with a ding and slowly opened its doors.
"Dead scumbag!"
Ye Zhenzhen let out a long breath and walked into the elevator...
After Ye Zhenzhen left, Lucy walked out again, clutching her phone. Silently watching the elevator stop at the first floor, she turned and walked into the stairwell, heading upstairs.
She didn't know if Wang Yan needed comfort, but regardless of whether he needed it, she wanted to comfort him properly... ===== CHAPTER 1112 =====
