After replaying the video several times, Zhang Yong finally realized something was wrong and looked back at him: "You haven't figured it out yet?"
“This is it.”
Qin Nan lowered his head so that Zhang Yong wouldn't see his expression. "This is the same car in the reed field."
"That's great." Zhang Yong said happily and started to pack up the USB drive. "Thank you, you helped me a lot."
"Need not."
Qin Nan leaned against the table. Zhang Yong waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll leave then."
Qin Nan saw Zhang Yong out and watched him leave.
After Zhang Yong left, he sat back on his bed and stared blankly at the ground.
Zhang Yong is a criminal policeman.
A car came out of the hotel, carrying Ye Sibei and Zhao Chuchu, and then appeared in the reed field.
A case where a party can withdraw the case.
Ye Sibei, who always tried her best to discipline herself, was submissive and never dared to talk back to anyone, did not wear a uniform on a weekday, was unkempt, and even got into a fight with someone and was taken to the police station.
Qin Nan lowered his head and raised his hands to cover his face.
After a long time, he suddenly stood up, grabbed his coat, rushed out of the store, and drove directly to Fuqiang Real Estate.
He stopped in front of Fuqiang Real Estate in the dark and kept staring at the door. The sky gradually brightened and the surroundings became more and more lively. He saw the cleaner opening the door, saw the employees coming one by one, and finally saw the black Crown sedan.
The car drove around to the parking lot behind Fuqiang Real Estate. Qin Nan got out immediately and followed Fan Jiancheng into the backyard.
It was still early in the morning and the parking lot was empty. Fan Jiancheng got out of the car and straightened his clothes in front of the window. Before he could finish his action, someone rushed over, pressed his head and slammed him against the car.
His head buzzed, and his glasses twisted and rolled away. A sharp pain came, and a huge force pressed down on his head from top to bottom. He didn't dare to move, gasping for breath in fear, and heard the man ask him coldly: "Is the car yours?"
"Wh-what car?"
Fan Jiancheng didn't understand, so Qin Nan reminded him: "You drive this one."
"Yes... it's mine," Fan Jiancheng thought about all the possible things that might happen, "Brother, did I accidentally bump into your car? I wasn't paying attention. How much do I have to pay..."
"On April 9th," Qin Nan said in a steady voice, "were you the one driving this car?"
Fan Jiancheng froze for a moment. During this moment of slowness, Qin Nan bent his knee and kicked Fan Jiancheng hard in the stomach. He grabbed Fan Jiancheng's hair and forced him to look at him: "Speak."
The pain instantly distorted Fan Jiancheng's expression. He gasped and said hastily, "It's me, brother. What's the matter? Tell me..."
"You took Ye Sibei to the reed field?"
This made Fan Jiancheng calm down for a moment. After a moment, he suddenly pulled out a lighter from his pocket, lit it and burned Qin Nan's hand! Qin Nan subconsciously retracted his hand. He immediately rushed towards the back door of Fuqiang Real Estate and shouted: "Help! Help..."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Nan grabbed his hair and slammed him against the wall. However, Fan Jiancheng seemed to know who he was and was no longer afraid. He held his wrist and sat on the ground. Qin Nan was forced to let go immediately, and Fan Jiancheng pounced on his waist!
The two men were entangled together. Qin Nan was much stronger than him. He turned over and pressed his face and punched him like rain!
Fan Jiancheng was stunned by the punch. He no longer had the strength to fight back. He could only protect his head with his hands and shouted, "She did it voluntarily!"
Qin Nan paused with his fist, and Fan Jiancheng panted softly, "She was short of money, so she drank and pretended to be drunk. I sent her home, and she took the initiative to tell me that she liked me and wanted to be with me. If this matter gets out of hand, it will be bad for everyone. You are her husband, right? You can go and ask, you can ask the people on that day, whether she took the initiative to drink and get into my car!"
"She was drunk and got in your car, so what?"
Qin Nan stared at Fan Jiancheng, who turned around and looked at him with shock in his eyes: "Are you mentally normal? If she didn't take the initiative, why would she drink at the table? Why did she get in my car? Why didn't she protect herself? I tell you, even if this matter is taken to court, I am still right!"
Qin Nan looked at his self-righteous look, and he suddenly understood.
"You don't think she'll call the police."
"What did you say?"
Fan Jiancheng felt a little guilty: "Why call the police?"
"So you chose her."
There were faint voices coming from the surroundings, and Fan Jiancheng suddenly became confident: "You fight now, keep fighting, and if it gets out of hand, I'll see who will be in trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Nan punched him hard in the face, then grabbed his collar and moved in front of him: "Then just watch."
"I want to see how a damn rapist like you can dare to talk to me about whether it looks good or not!"
"You owe her an apology," Qin Nan stared at him, "I will make you pay it back in jail."
After saying that, Qin Nan pushed him away and left.
As soon as I got to the car, I met Zhao Chuchu who had parked her car.
"Qin Nan?"
Zhao Chuchu called his name in confusion, but Qin Nan got into the car and sped away as if he didn't see her.
Zhao Chuchu was stunned. She entered the company in confusion. As soon as she entered the hall, she found that the company was in chaos. She grabbed Chen Xiaoyang who was passing by and asked, "What happened?"
"Sister Ye's husband just beat up Boss Fan," Chen Xiaoyang winked at her and reminded her, "He's angry. You have a good relationship with Sister Ye, so hide away quickly."
Zhao Chuchu was stunned when she heard this. Chen Xiaoyang waved at her: "I have clients, so I'm leaving first."
Having said that, Chen Xiaoyang left. Zhao Chuchu slowed down, then hurried out to call Ye Nianwen.
When the call was connected, Ye Nianwen was combing her hair in front of the mirror. When she received Zhao Chuchu's call, she said nonchalantly, "Miss me, baby?"
"Nianwen, something happened."
"What's wrong?" Ye Nianwen was wearing a bow tie while holding his cell phone.
"I just met Brother Nan coming to the company. I greeted him, but he didn't say a word. Then I heard that he beat up our store manager Fan Jiancheng!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nianwen was stunned. Zhao Chuchu glanced at his colleague who was busy not far away and lowered his voice: "Hurry up and ask Brother Nan what's going on!"
"Where are the others?"
Ye Nianwen immediately grabbed his suit jacket from the side and took his bag.
"He has already driven away."
"Okay, I'll go find him."
Ye Nianwen said, rushing out of the house: "Where's my sister? Has she gone to the company?"
"No. She..." Zhao Chuchu hesitated for a moment, "She was fired yesterday."
Ye Nianwen paused for a moment, opened his mouth, wanted to ask something, but finally swallowed all the words.
"Got it," he said, controlling his emotions. "Please help me persuade Fan Jiancheng not to call the police. I'll call you back later."
"How can I persuade her..." Ye Nianwen hung up the phone before Zhao Chuchu finished her words.
Zhao Chuchu looked at her phone blankly, thought for a long time, and finally went back to the company.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Nianwen held the phone, he calmed down, called Qin Nan, but Qin Nan didn't answer. He stood at the door, took a deep breath, rushed directly to the street, and raised his hand to stop a taxi.
After beating Fan Jiancheng, Qin Nan ran all the way home.
He felt a slight pain in the hand that hit him, but in addition to the pain, he felt an extra sense of anger and discomfort rising up in him.
This was the first time he had intervened so directly in Ye Sibei's world.
In the past, no matter what Ye Sibei did, he always liked to keep it secret. She carefully dealt with all the unbearable traces in her life. Every time, she would not be able to hide it anymore, and he would find out, and then they would quarrel and waste their time.
He used to think that everything about her was her own choice, but because of her cowardice and self-abandonment, she made such unpleasant choices, and then said sorry again and again when he questioned her.
But when he really intervened in Ye Sibei's life, he found that she had no choice at all.
Everyone told her that she was wrong, and even when she was the victim, she could be so wrong.
How could the "I'm sorry" she said be just a perfunctory response to him
It is obvious that this world has only taught her to say sorry.
He drove back to the neighborhood where he and Ye Sibei lived. After parking the car, he ran all the way to his home. Then, when he saw the little bear foot mat that Ye Sibei had chosen at the door, he stopped for some reason.
All the frenzy and anger suddenly subsided. He looked down at the two little bears hugging each other. After a long time, he looked up, took out the key and opened the door.
The door creaked open, and the smell of alcohol wafted into the room. The people in the room seemed to be sleeping soundly and didn't notice his arrival at all. Qin Nan looked over, and the whole house made him almost unrecognizable as his former residence.
The messy dining table, wine bottles piled everywhere, clothes thrown all over the floor, the whole room looked like a garbage dump, messy and dirty.
Qin Nan stood at the door for a while, he suppressed all his emotions, gently closed the door, walked into the room, like a ghost floating in, and sat down on the sofa quietly.
When the sunlight shone on Ye Sibei's face, she woke up in a daze.
The hangover gave her a splitting headache, and she propped herself up as usual. As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she saw someone sitting in the room.
Ye Sibei was so frightened that he took a step back and saw Qin Nan turning his head to look at him.
He was holding a cigarette, and his hand was stained with blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his or someone else's. He looked at her calmly, but a little different from before.
After a brief moment of surprise, Ye Sibei quickly calmed down.
"How did you come?"
As she spoke, she glanced around and wanted to clean up quickly, but she didn't know where to start.
The room was filled with a mixture of smoke and alcohol, so she simply went to the balcony to open the window and then returned to the living room.
"You..." She thought, "Do you want to eat something?"
"Please sit down first."
Qin Nan lowered his head.
After hearing what he said, Ye Sibei sat down on the sofa next to him with some embarrassment.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and she just watched Qin Nan smoking with his head down.
This atmosphere made her feel a little restrained. She had a feeling that something was going on, but she didn't dare to speak. She kept looking around, trying to distract herself, but as soon as she looked around, she saw wine bottles everywhere. This made her even more nervous, and she carefully reached out her hand: "Let me clean it up first..."
"When did you start drinking?"
Qin Nan suddenly asked in a hoarse voice. Ye Sibei froze and forced a smile: "Just... just recently."
"Did you buy the cigarettes?"
Qin Nan looked at the cigarette on the table, and Ye Sibei didn't dare to answer.
"Ye Sibei," Qin Nan looked up at her, "What's wrong with you?"
"nothing."
When Ye Sibei was asked about this, she instinctively wanted to fight back. She gave up on herself for a moment and shrugged, pretending to be relaxed: "I've been under a lot of work pressure lately, and I want to relieve it. Look, I didn't do anything. I just smoked and drank a little. I'm an adult, so this isn't illegal, right?"
Qin Nan didn't say anything, he just looked at her quietly. Ye Sibei didn't dare to look at his eyes, she was afraid of seeing disappointment or condemnation.
She kept telling herself that they were going to get divorced anyway, so whether he was disappointed or condemned her, it had nothing to do with her.
For the first time, she felt somewhat relieved that he wanted to divorce, and even wanted to speed up the process.
"Are you here to get the divorce agreement? Or do you want to get the marriage certificate today?" Ye Sibei stood up, "I'll go get it for you..."
"On the night of April 9, Fan Jiancheng sent you home. Where did you go then?"
Ye Sibei froze.
For a moment, her mind went blank.
She froze in place, listening to Qin Nan's calm question behind her: "Is it the reed field outside Guantian Village?"
As soon as the word "reed field" came out, a disgusting picture gushed out. Ye Sibei's breathing quickened for a moment. She hurried forward: "I'll go get you the agreement."
"Ye Sibei," Qin Nan looked up at her, "Now that things have come to this, what else is there to hide? Aren't you tired of hiding it from you?"
Ye Sibei didn't say anything, her back turned to Qin Nan.
She wanted to deny it.
Just like Huang Guifen said, she had to keep it secret to the end.
But she couldn't speak.
From the moment Qin Nan mentioned the reed field, she knew there was no room for struggle.
"On April 9, you were drunk at your company dinner and got into Fan Jiancheng's car with Zhao Chuchu. Zhao Chuchu was sent home, and you were taken to the reed field in Guantian Village."
"After you woke up, you called the police, but later withdrew your report. Ye Sibei," Qin Nan pressed. "Who is he?"
Ye Sibei didn't say anything. After a long time, she sat back in her seat. She smiled and went to get a cigarette. Holding the cigarette, she calmed down a little.
"You already know everything so clearly," Ye Sibei said nonchalantly, "What is there to say? Does it matter who it is? Anyway, I won't call the police."
"Is it Fan Jiancheng?"
Qin Nan stared at her.
Ye Sibei took a deep puff of smoke, looked up at Qin Nan, and wanted to continue to say something teasing, but when she saw Qin Nan's eyes, she couldn't say it. The words rolled back and forth in her mouth, and finally she spoke.
"I have no idea."
She stretched out her hands and pretended to be indifferent: "I don't remember."
"I was wrong that day," she explained with a smile. "The company said I had to go to meet a client, but I didn't think about changing my clothes, so I went in my company uniform. There was a boss at the banquet who liked to drink, and he specifically asked me to drink. I thought I couldn't cause trouble for everyone, so I drank six glasses. After I finished, my mother called me and told me about our divorce. I had a fight with her, and I didn't know what happened when I came out, so I drank a few more glasses."
Ye Sibei was unable to control her emotions as she spoke. She didn't dare to let him notice, so she lowered her head and pretended to be calm: "After drinking, Brother Fan sent me home, and I wanted to go up after I got to the door. In fact, I was very drunk and didn't remember anything at all. Maybe someone picked up my body."
She used a common and extremely humiliating word on the Internet, which sounded harsh.
"When I woke up the next day, I was in the reed field. I didn't look very good at the time, so I hid in the reeds and called the police, asking them to send me a windbreaker."
Qin Nan didn't say anything. He stared straight ahead with an unfocused gaze, smoking woodenly.
“Why withdraw the case?”
"Just, figured it out."
Ye Sibei's voice was hoarse: "What good will it do me to call the police? It's not my fault if I tell you. It's like a child fighting, and a classmate hits the left cheek. There's no need to go home and tell the parents to hit the right cheek?"
"It takes two to tango. It was because I wasn't careful enough."
Ye Sibei was reflecting on himself as he always did, and Qin Nan felt as if a knife was scraping his heart when he heard it.
"It's not a big deal, just forget it."
Ye Sibei thought about it, and whispered: "I'm sorry."
sorry.
sorry.
sorry.
This seemed to be the most common thing she had said since they had met.
Always apologizing, always reflecting on oneself, always reviewing.
Even today - today when she is the victim, she is still telling him that she is sorry.
Qin Nan found it a bit ridiculous and pathetic.
He didn't dare to speak, or even look at her.
He controlled his emotions, finished his last cigarette, and then turned around and asked the question he had always wanted to ask but never asked -
"What did you do wrong?"
Hearing this, Ye Sibei looked at him blankly, as if he could not understand what he was saying at all.
Qin Nan stared at her blank expression, his voice trembling slightly: "Tell me, you are just living your life well, you are just going to work, getting dressed, working, and going home normally." At the end, he couldn't say anything, and after trying for a long time, he finally spoke, "What did you do wrong?"
