Chapter 246 He Shouldn't Have Touched You
“I know what you’re saying, but even so, you shouldn’t have resorted to violence so easily. Besides, this is a police station, and he’s a police officer. What will you do if it’s classified as assaulting a police officer?”
Han Xi frowned slightly. "He attacked you first."
"You'll attack if he makes a move?"
Han Xi frowned slightly. "He shouldn't have touched you."
Fang Li is really... all I can do is sigh.
"It's my fault, I didn't explain it to you in time."
Xu Chengchuan suddenly scoffed from the side, "If you don't trust me this much, what's there to explain?"
Fang Li glared at him coldly, "Don't say a word!"
Xu Chengchuan curled his lip, "Fine, I won't say anything. I'll see how you manage to go from one cesspool to another, how you bring shame to the country and the Xu family!"
If Fang Li had super glue on hand, she would have torn off a strip and glued it on him!
Fang Li rolled her eyes at Xu Chengchuan and then turned to look at the man beside her with a slightly cold expression.
"You've misunderstood. He's actually my brother."
Han Xi paused slightly, then gently moved his lips, "Your brother?"
Fang Li nodded, "My uncle's second son, Xu Chengchuan, is the third in his family. I call him Third Brother."
Han Xi: "......."
Standing not far away, Deng Xiulin heard Fang Li's words clearly. He looked at Han Xi, who was slightly stunned, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Xu Chengchuan rubbed his lips and said, "Now, shouldn't you introduce this hero who dared to assault a police officer at the police station? Who is he?"
"Third brother, can't you speak properly?"
"Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Xu Chengchuan looked at Han Xi opposite him with great interest, "I'm not a policeman? He didn't attack me for no reason?"
Han Xi: "......."
"If that's the case, then you've already taken action," Fang Li stammered.
Xu Chengchuan: "Whose company are you anyway?!"
"...None of your business."
Xu Chengchuan laughed in exasperation, "No wonder they say girls will turn against their own kind when they grow up, you really don't learn your lesson at all!"
"So you're Miss Xu's brother. No wonder you two looked a bit alike when I first saw you."
To prevent his brother from becoming depressed on the spot, Deng Xiulin hesitated for a long time before deciding to step in and help him out.
"We've become friends through this misunderstanding. Since there's been a disagreement, why don't we find a place to sit down and clear things up?"
As he spoke, he looked at Fang Li and smiled slightly: "Didn't Miss Xu just say she wanted to treat me to dinner? How about we all go together?"
...Twenty minutes later.
Tan Palace.
"Go ahead."
The large round table was occupied by four people, each occupying a corner.
Unfortunately, Xu Chengchuan happened to be sitting opposite Han Xi.
Leaning lazily back in her sofa chair, her gaze fixed on Han Xi, she asked, "Who is this man? What's your relationship with him?"
Fang Li twisted her fingers, pursed her lips, and said, "Han Xi, my current boyfriend."
"Heh." Xu Chengchuan suddenly sneered.
"No wonder."
Fang Li knew she was in the wrong, "Grandpa doesn't know about this yet, so don't tell him."
"You want me to keep it from Grandpa? No way."
Fang Li's expression turned anxious.
Xu Chengchuan rubbed his increasingly bluish lip. "I'm going back to Haicheng in a couple of days. Do you think I can hide this injury from Grandpa if he sees it?"
"You've been injured on missions before..."
"Are you kidding me? I'm a police officer. Do you expect me to lie?"
Xu Chengchuan looked disapproving. "Besides, I told Grandpa that the Beijing branch had a case and needed me to be temporarily transferred. I repeatedly assured him that there would be no danger before he let me come. Now I've been injured on my first day here. How can you expect Grandpa to believe what I say?"
"Then you shouldn't say anything, that way it won't be considered lying."
Looking at Fang Li, Xu Chengchuan realized that it was no wonder his grandfather always gave them instructions to keep a close eye on his younger sister whenever they met.
This girl is just a hopeless romantic!
It hasn't been long since I was deceived by that guy surnamed Song, and now he's actually defending this guy surnamed Han like this.
Thinking of this, Xu Chengchuan smiled, but the look in his eyes turned cold. "Are you feeling smug seeing my sister protecting you like this? As a man, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"I'm sorry about what happened earlier."
"..." Xu Chengchuan's eyes flashed with surprise.
This man didn't seem like the type to easily back down, so I was surprised that he took the initiative to apologize to me.
He was aware of what had just happened. It takes two to tango; if he hadn't deliberately provoked the man, he wouldn't have attacked him so quickly.
It seems that Guo Bao still holds some weight in his heart, unlike that hypocritical young man surnamed Song.
"I'll find some time to visit my grandfather in Haicheng in a few days."
"What did you say?"
Han Xi raised his eyes, "So, Officer Xu, you don't need to make things so difficult. I'll talk to Grandpa about Ali and me in a few days."
Xu Chengchuan: "......."
It seems he underestimated this guy surnamed Han!
What do you mean by bowing your head? It's clearly a provocation!
You want to be honest? Fine!
"It seems that President Han already has a plan. When does he plan to go back? Why don't I go with you? Guo Bao has encountered such great danger this time, and I also need to go back and have a good talk with my grandfather, so that he won't worry about it later."
Han Xi frowned, then released his grip.
“Alright, I happen to have some connections with Director Wen of the Chengbei Branch. How about we take this opportunity to trouble Director Wen to transfer Officer Xu directly back to Haicheng? That way, Grandpa Xu can finally rest assured.”
Xu Chengchuan: "You!"
Han Xi looked at him with a calm expression and said nothing.
The two stared at each other for several seconds before Xu Chengchuan finally looked away.
He gently curled his lips, "Guobao, it seems that the boyfriend you found this time is a bit better than that previous one surnamed Song."
Han Xi: "Thank you for the compliment, Officer Xu."
Xu Chengchuan chuckled, glancing meaningfully at Fang Li beside him.
Fang Li smiled at him.
Xu Chengchuan stared at her.
Fang Li felt uncomfortable under his gaze, but luckily the waiter came in to serve the food at that moment.
As soon as a plate of beef was placed on the table, Fang Li quickly got up and put a piece of beef on Xu Chengchuan's plate with her chopsticks.
"Third Brother, you probably haven't had dinner yet, have you? Quickly try the braised beef at Tan Palace, it tastes exceptionally good, even better than the beef at Jade Pavilion!"
What could Xu Chengchuan say when faced with his younger sister's ingratiating face?
He lazily curled his lips, raised his hand and ruffled her hair, laughing, "I'll let it go this time for your sake, but I advise you to put aside the matter of confessing to Grandpa for now."
Fang Li frowned. "Why?"
"why?"
Xu Chengchuan picked up a piece of beef from the plate with great interest, put it in his mouth, and looked at Han Xi across from him, saying, "Grandpa has been hosting several banquets recently, and each time he invites many scions of prominent families in Haicheng to attend. Can you guess why?"
