Chapter 642

The two spoke no more; they did not need to say anything else. They looked into each other's eyes, feeling only peace and joy in their hearts.

Unfortunately, this atmosphere of peace and joy was broken by one person. This person was Director Pan, who rushed in. Seeing the scene of deep affection in the room, he was somewhat stunned and stopped in his tracks.

Lu Xiaoya pulled her hand from Su Xinghui's grasp again. She took out a handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and sat up straight.

Director Pan was a middle-aged man with a potbelly and thinning hair. His forehead was shiny and greasy, and his face was flushed; clearly, he had also drunk quite a bit of alcohol. However, it was still the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it wasn't time for formal work yet, so this was understandable.

Seeing the two let go of each other, Director Pan said with a fawning smile, "Mr. Su, Miss Lu, right? I am Pan Weinian, Deputy Director of the Jiangnan District Public Security Bureau. Nice to meet you."

Pan Weinian extended his hand, first shaking hands with Su Xinghui, then going to shake hands with Lu Xiaoya. As soon as Lu Xiaoya touched his hand, she pulled hers back.

Pan Weinian looked entirely oily and slick, which made Su Xinghui feel very uncomfortable, let alone Lu Xiaoya. However, he was, after all, a deputy director of a public security branch, and his rank should be deputy section-level. He treated them with courtesy, so Su Xinghui could not be rude.

Pan Weinian sat down and brought up the main business: "The two of you, it's like this: that Comrade Yan Qing is actually not a bad person. Young people, you know, they like to play around, drank a bit too much, and accidentally hit someone. We have also sent police to the hospital to check; the victim's injuries are not too serious and are out of danger. Yan Qing is willing to pay more money to obtain the victim's forgiveness."

Su Xinghui laughed: "He should pay more money. As for whether he can obtain the victim's forgiveness, that has nothing to do with us."

Pan Weinian shook his head and said, "How can it have nothing to do with you? Yan Qing said he knows the two of you had some grievances with him in the past, and he is afraid you won't be willing to forgive him. He said that no matter how much money it takes, he is willing to pay, as long as he can get the two of you to forgive him. He also guarantees that from now on, he will always be a friend to the two of you."

The reason Pan Weinian was so polite to Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya was that when he met with Yan Qing, Yan Qing told him that these two had quite a background, and told Pan Weinian to be polite to them. Seeing that someone with Yan Qing's background was so wary of them, a man as slick as Pan Weinian naturally would not offend them.

He was still thinking that if this matter were accomplished, he could improve his relationship with both sides. Perhaps, this matter would be a very good opportunity for his future development.

Su Xinghui shook his head without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Director Pan, this matter is not up for negotiation. Yan Qing was drunk, driving against traffic, speeding, and disregarded life. He should receive the punishment he deserves. If such a person cannot be punished, then where will the laws of our country be placed?"

Pan Weinian was not embarrassed at all. He laughed: "Brother Su, enemies should be resolved, not knotted. Yan Qing is also a very capable person. Wouldn't it be better to have one less enemy and one more friend in the future? Yan Qing also said that as long as you retract your statements, even if it's one million, he is willing to pay."

Speaking of this number, the fat on Director Pan's face trembled a few times. One million! He didn't know if he could earn that much money in his entire life! He felt that this number should be enough to tempt the two young people in front of him.

However, to his surprise, when Su Xinghui heard this number, he didn't even blink. He stood up leisurely, gently took Lu Xiaoya's hand, and said, "Xiaoya, let's go."

Lu Xiaoya also nodded very gently and said, "Okay."

Watching the backs of the two as they walked to the door, Pan Weinian was stunned. Although he was a person who could handle all sides, faced with this situation, he didn't know what else to say.

Walking to the door, Su Xinghui suddenly stopped and turned his head. Lu Xiaoya was following him step by step, and she also stopped and turned her head. Pan Weinian felt a surge of joy in his heart, thinking there had been a turning point.

Su Xinghui said indifferently to Pan Weinian: "Director Pan, there is something I want to remind you of. We know very clearly about Yan Qing's drunk driving, driving against traffic, and speeding. The alcohol test result was 180; I have already heard it. If we hear that you have cut corners in these aspects, I will definitely pursue this to the end."

Lu Xiaoya laughed: "Right, he even wanted to flee. If I hadn't pulled out his car keys, he would have run away."

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya exchanged a look and walked away, leaving Pan Weinian in the room, feeling completely disheveled.

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya took a taxi and arrived at the Fontainebleau Western Restaurant. When they walked into the restaurant, the waiter who had served them at noon said with surprise, "You are the two guests who performed a righteous act at noon, right?"

The two, the man tall and handsome, the woman beautiful and pure, were naturally impressive to the waiter for being able to step forward without hesitation to help when they saw a car accident outside.

Su Xinghui nodded: "Yes, we ate here at noon. May I ask, did you see the flowers we left at our seat at noon?"

The waiter nodded: "Of course I saw them. I put that bouquet away. I'll go get it now."

The waiter ran to the back in a hurry. Lu Xiaoya looked at Su Xinghui with surprise, and Su Xinghui looked at her with doting eyes and said, "Are you happy now?"

Lu Xiaoya stroked her chest and said, "I'm so happy my heart is about to jump out. This is truly heaven's blessing!"

The waiter ran out quickly, holding the bouquet, and said, "Miss, this bouquet is yours, right?"

Lu Xiaoya took the bouquet and said, "Yes, it's mine. How should I thank you?"

Su Xinghui took out his wallet, pulled out a fifty-yuan bill, and handed it to the waiter: "Thank you! This is just a small token."

The waiter waved his hand quickly: "No, sir. You already gave me a tip when you paid the bill at noon. This is what I should do; I cannot take your money again."

Seeing that he insisted on not taking the money, Su Xinghui could only put his wallet away and said, "Alright, then thank you!"

Bidding farewell to the waiter and leaving the restaurant, Lu Xiaoya held the bouquet in her palms as if it were a treasure, even putting it under her nose to smell the fragrance.

Su Xinghui looked at Lu Xiaoya's adorable appearance, his eyes full of love.

Lu Xiaoya suddenly took Su Xinghui's hand and said, "Okay, the Valentine's Day gift you gave me has been found. Now it's my turn to buy you a Valentine's Day gift. Let's go, let's find a clothing store."
