Ruan Yu crouched in the corner of the balcony like a mushroom, clutching his phone in shock.
Xu Huaisong said: "This kind of situation is generally not the criminals you imagined, and even if it is, it is impossible to break in directly. You have to do two things now. First, contact the location with the community property or the phone number of the security room. Here, second, get your phone and check the door mirror."
His instructions were given quickly and clearly, and Ruan Yu followed suit in a panic. After sending the message, he stood up and heard the doorbell ring again, this time twice in a row.
Xu Huaisong heard it too, and said, "Don't make a sound. If you see a suspicious person but the person hasn't moved yet, then don't lock the door, step back to a position about seven meters away from the door, turn on the speakerphone, and call my name loudly. Say you are doing laundry and let me open the door, understand?"
He deliberately split a series of words into simple short sentences so that Ruan Yu could listen to them even when his mind was muddled: "If the conversation is over and the other party still hasn't left, lock the door and call the police immediately."
Ruan Yu nodded, forgetting that Xu Huaisong couldn't see, walked softly through the living room with his waist bent, carefully pasted the door mirror, and held back the cold air in his throat.
Standing outside the door was a tall and thin man, wearing a black mask and peaked cap, and dressed like a crow. He was dialing his cell phone number with his head down, as if he was going to call his accomplices to come up.
Her heart was beating wildly, and she was about to hold her breath and retreat to a position far away from the door, when the phone in her palm suddenly vibrated violently.
An incoming call from an unknown number.
The voice call with Xu Huaisong was interrupted. And this shock was probably heard outside the door.
She is exposed.
Ruan Yu's brain was short of oxygen for a moment, but the next moment he heard a male voice coming from the door: "Sister, are you at home?"
"..."
What is this voice
Li Shican
She was stunned for a moment, and then heard the other party laugh again. The voice was not high, but because of its special voice, it was particularly penetrating: "Open the door for me, I'm afraid of being photographed."
Ruan Yu was completely sure of his identity now, stepped forward to open the door, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Li Shican blinked twice, a little innocent: "Didn't you make an appointment at the old place the day before yesterday? I contacted you downstairs and found that you were out of service. I just charged you up to get through."
Oh, if there is an "old place" between the two of them, it really is the apartment downstairs.
Ruan Yu seldom lived on campus during the next semester of her senior year, and Li Shican couldn't meet her at school, so she would come here from time to time. I don't do anything, just buy a cup of milk tea she likes to drink and put it in the milk box downstairs. Whether she accepts it or not, she will send a message saying "the old place gets milk tea".
But Ruan Yu was still puzzled: "Didn't you call me because of the live broadcast?"
"You know I'm live streaming?"
Seeing a flash of astonishment in Li Shican's eyes, Ruan Yu choked.
She was originally playing a game with him, and she heard him make it clear in the live broadcast room that she would not attend the appointment, so she didn't take this appointment to heart at all.
Seeing her choking, Li Shican twitched the corners of his mouth and muttered: "That's right, why don't you agree to see me."
Ruan Yu didn't answer for a while, so he could only laugh.
But he didn't seem embarrassed at all: "Then I've come here, don't you invite me in?" Before she could speak, he continued as if he was afraid of being rejected, "I pushed my job from Haishi and came here. You talk about Cen Sisi."
The surprise diluted some of the unfamiliarity that had not been in contact for many years, and Ruan Yu blurted out: "You guys know each other? How do you know this?" He stepped aside and invited him in.
Li Shican closed the door with his backhand, took off his mask and hat, and said, "Is there any ice water? Let me have a drink before we talk, senior."
Suddenly a big man came into the house, he was still a star, Ruan Yu was a little uncomfortable, said "oh", put down his phone, and went back to get him ice water.
Li Shican glanced at the slippers on the floor of the entrance.
Ruan Yu came back from the kitchen and saw him standing there motionless. He handed him a water glass and said, "Sorry, I don't have men's slippers here. You can just come in."
"You don't have a boyfriend yet?" Li Shican muttered.
Listening to this familiar tone, it seems that the two met yesterday.
Ruan Yu avoided answering, and invited him to the living room, trying to shake off the strange atmosphere accumulated by this question, and started a conversation: "Is that car downstairs yours?"
Li Shican took a sip of ice water and nodded: "Look at the price drop? It's raining in the sea market, and the road is splashed and dirty."
No wonder.
Ruan Yu helped his forehead. This time I helped him up, but suddenly felt that there was something missing and nothing to do.
At the same time, her computer on the coffee table rang - a video call was received on WeChat.
I remembered, Xu Huaisong.
She forgot about Xu Huaisong!
Her complexion changed, before she had time to control Li Shican, she quickly switched on the video, saw the screen turn on, and hurriedly said before Xu Huaisong could speak: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lawyer Xu... I forgot to tell you I'm safe!"
The burnt look in Xu Huaisong's eyes dissipated in an instant, and the monstrous waves quickly subsided. Because they met Li Shican's eyes, which were slanted behind Ruan Yu.
The four eyes met, creating a world of ice and snow across the screen.
On the contrary, Li Shican calmed down first, shook the water glass in his hand at the person on the screen, and nodded in greeting: "Hello."
Following this flash, the ice cubes hit the glass wall, making tinkling noises. The originally pleasant sound seemed extremely harsh at the moment.
Xu Huaisong didn't speak, just nodded at him, then glanced at Ruan Yu, and followed her words: "You don't need to report to me, just report to the police." After speaking, he hung up the video.
Ruan Yu stared at the computer screen that suddenly fell silent, and was stunned.
Li Shican was also confused, and leaned forward and asked, "What policeman?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
Ruan Yu understood, trotted over to open the door, and sure enough saw two policemen in uniform standing at the door, one of them was equipped with a gun.
Although the police station is at the gate of her community, the speed of dispatching the police is really amazing.
The one with the gun spoke first: "Excuse me, is this Ruan Yu, Ms. Ruan?"
Ruan Yu nodded: "I am."
"We received a report..."
"I'm sorry, Comrade Policeman," Ruan Yu hastily interrupted him to avoid embarrassment from being heard by Li Shican, "I misunderstood my friend and told him to call the wrong police.
But you can't hide it.
Li Shican happened to come out at this time, and just as he was about to speak, he received a phone call, and there was a voice from the other end, it was his driver for this trip: "Brother Can, I was arrested by the police downstairs! You Come down and save me!"
"..."
Ruan Yu and Li Shican were taken to the police station opposite the community.
Originally, this incident could be explained on the spot, so it might not have happened, but Li Shican’s ID card happened not to be with him, and the police officer surnamed Fang with the gun had a boxy personality, and he did not accept special treatment from celebrities, so he insisted on bringing him to the police station. The police station made records and contacted the caller to confirm the situation.
It was the first time for Ruan Yu to see this scene. After the case was dismissed and he left the police station, he was physically and mentally exhausted.
At this time, it was approaching noon. Due to work arrangements, Li Shican originally planned to stay in Hangzhou for two hours before returning to Haishi. Now he spent all his time at the police station, so he had to leave in a hurry.
But as soon as Ruan Yu got home, he received a call from him.
He cut straight to the point: "Senior sister, in fact, I'm here mainly to apologize to you this time. Cen Sisi is the daughter of a friend of my father's business. She came to Hangzhou University for the same purpose as me. She treated me Well, it’s been that way since high school, and I’m to blame for not handling it well.”
In just a few short sentences, Ruan Yu already understood.
Does Cen Sisi regard her as a "rival in love" and hate her? Then the abbreviation of the pen name is out of love for Li Shican.
But she still has doubts: "Then how would she know my pseudonym? And you."
Li Shican coughed, and his tone was a little guilty: "Do you remember, I helped you repair your computer once when I was a freshman..."
"oh… "
There are always clues in the computer. She was just trying to write a book at the time, and she wasn't too defensive.
Li Shican continued: "As for her... I have a small Weibo account, and I only followed your work blog. She discovered it somehow, like a spy plane. But I only found out about it a few days ago. Otherwise, we would have dealt with her earlier."
When Ruan Yu heard the word "handling", he became sensitive: "Is your PR team doing those things on Weibo these two days?"
Li Shican was silent for a moment, and said, "Not all of them."
"Not at all?"
Who else
Li Shican didn't give a positive answer, but vaguely said: "In short, I will clean up the trouble I caused you. Now that the rumors are under control, you can concentrate on the lawsuit and leave the rest to me."
Ruan Yu took a breath and was about to speak, when he said like a roundworm in her stomach, "I know, I have a sense of proportion. As long as she doesn't continue to move, the public opinion will come to an end."
No matter what Cen Sisi had originally planned, Ruan Yu did not suffer any negative effects under the strong pressure from the court and law firm, as well as Li Shican's control of public opinion.
Three days later, the incident cooled down, and Ruan Yu basically returned to normal life. Someone on Weibo sent kind encouragement, hoping that she would adjust her mentality, continue to create, and write "I Really Want to Whisper My Ear with You".
As early as the second day after the plagiarism incident broke out, she stopped serializing the novel. Now that the rain has passed, many readers are regretting this unfinished story.
But Ruan Yu hesitated.
After learning the real reason why Cen Sisi targeted her, she had already looked away from the cyberbullying. The problem now is that her mentality is not yet good enough to be able to indulge in high-sweet lust under the nose of the male protagonist.
But speaking of the leading actor, they haven't been in touch since the oolong incident that day. To be precise, her apology did not get a reply, and the WeChat dialog box only had her solitary talking to herself.
Three messages, one a day.
The first day: "Lawyer Xu, I'm really sorry about today's incident. It's useless to worry you."
The next day: "Lawyer Xu, do you have time to talk about the case now?"
On the third day: "Lawyer Xu, I have sent the modified anti-color palette to your mailbox, please check it when you have time."
Today is the fourth day.
Ruan Yu sighed, and felt that Xu Huaisong could not be blamed for this matter, anyone would be upset if they were teased for nothing. Besides, he was a busy man.
So at noon this day, she persistently sent the fourth message: "Lawyer Xu, have you read the document? When can you talk to me?"
Unexpectedly, she got his reply: "Ten minutes later."
Nephrite: "Then I'll turn on the computer."
Xu Huaisong: "No, go downstairs."
go downstairs? He returned home
Ruan Yu typed: "Huh?"
Xu Huaisong: "In ten minutes, your house will be downstairs."
