Chapter 269 A game within a game within a game

When Chen Zhuo came out of the small room where he was recording his confession, he found that Wang Changhua and others were already waiting outside.

Seeing Chen Zhuo's figure, they all surrounded him.

"Why is your side the slowest?"

Huang Baihan asked worriedly, "Is everything okay?"

"Did you get beaten?"

Wang Changhua didn't know if she had watched too many police and gangster movies, and she was afraid that Chen Zhe would be subjected to the "memory recovery technique" in the movie.

Chen talked the most with the second-level police inspector, and in the end he even asked him to help copy Xu Yue's confession, which naturally took the longest time.

But these friends didn’t know. They thought Chen was caught making a false report to the police and they were all worried.

"I didn't get beaten, but it wasn't a small matter."

Chen Zhuo didn't tell the truth. He sighed and said, "I was severely criticized. The police said I deliberately exaggerated the facts and wasted police resources. So I have to write a self-reflection letter and my school may be notified."

Chen said as he glanced at Xu Yue.

The woman actually had a concerned look on her face. When she heard that Chen was going to write a self-criticism, she even said sympathetically, "If we inform the school, won't we be punished? Let's think about other options."

"leave!"

Chen thought to himself that she was really good at acting. If he didn't know the answer in advance, he would have been deceived by her kind appearance.

"I almost couldn't tell. It seems normal for Da Huang to be deceived at this age and with this experience."

Chen thought to himself that with his broad mind, he would have put himself in the other person's shoes a long time ago, and he did not blame Huang Baihan too much for not listening to him and continuing to date Xu Yue behind his back.

"Hold!"

Wang Changhua slammed the stool hard: "If I had known it would get to this point, I would have paid the 2000 yuan. I am such a fucking idiot!"

Wang Changhua felt guilty for having implicated her friend. Chen Zhuo had a bright future at CUHK and must not let it be affected by this trivial matter.

Wang Changhua didn't know about the network of relationships that Chen Zhuo had built up at Sun Yat-sen University. Even if the police station really found the school, many people would come forward to protect Chen Zhuo.

In fact, the one who blames herself more is Wu Yu. Yu Xian went to the capital to study, but she dragged her boyfriend into the water. There were many missed calls from cos sister on her mobile phone, but she didn't know how to explain it.

"I shouldn't have come to this bar. This place is so unlucky!"

Wu Yu thought with regret that if time could go back, she would definitely return to school after delivering the peace apple to Chen Zhe.

Just be lonely. It's normal to be lonely without a boyfriend. At worst, I can wait for Yu Xian to come back and let her accompany me to eat, drink and have fun.

Chen took in the expressions of his friends. He felt that those who needed to reflect were reflecting, and those who needed to ponder were pondering, which showed that this matter was inspiring to them.

If I encounter similar problems in the future, I will probably know how to handle them properly.

At this time, Zheng Hao's gang of scumbags and the bar manager also came out of the confession room.

Although it was a "meeting of enemies", they were not particularly jealous of each other. After all, this was the police station. Everyone had a depressed look on their faces and was very nervous.

Only Chen Zhe was the most relaxed. He also took the opportunity to educate his friends: "In this kind of environment and system in China, fighting is actually the worst option. If you win, you will go to jail, and if you lose, you will be hospitalized. There must be a more appropriate way to deal with conflicts..."

"Director Chen, you are about to write a self-criticism, how can you still care about us?"

Wu Yu pulled up her trouser legs and said hesitantly, "How about I apologize to the other side. I have some connections with the bar, so I can ask them to help intercede and see if we can make this matter less serious."

"Then Wang Changhua and I will go too."

Huang Baihan thought this was a good idea, so he stood up and spoke.

Dahuang is just this kind of person. He felt embarrassed to pack up the remaining half bottle of red wine, but he didn't think it was a big deal to apologize to Chen Zhu and a few idiots.

Wang Changhua naturally did not hesitate, but he pointed at Wu Yu's calf and said, "You are injured, so just sit here. Da Huang and I will go."

Everyone looked over and found that Wu Yu had a cut on her calf at some point.

The wound was neither deep nor long. It might have been caused by glass shards during an argument in the bar.

"I was wondering why it felt a bit hot."

Wu Yu was so nervous that she hadn't had time to check it out, but there was no rush to deal with it now. The most urgent thing was to eliminate the impact on Chen Zhe.

Xu Yue was watching from the side and was very puzzled. Is there true friendship in the world?

Chen was spending Christmas Eve somewhere, but when he heard that some of his friends were in trouble, he rushed over to help;

Then, for the sake of Chen Zhe, these people were actually willing to apologize to their previous enemy.

Xu Yue felt that she certainly could not do it. She had always scoffed at the so-called "friendship" and believed that everything in the world was nothing more than a false transaction.

It's just a polite statement on the surface, but in their hearts, no one cares about anyone else's life or death.

But when Xu Yue truly felt these people helping each other, she began to feel jealous again. Her so-called "best friends" were just fake friendships. They would fall out over a small matter and then never contact each other again.

"It's okay, you go ahead."

But on the surface, Xu Yue showed a kind face again: "I will take care of the drunk Xiaolu."

Chen curled his lips. Which innocent boy could resist such an understanding senior sister?

But he didn't let his friends apologize in a wronged way. He waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

Da Huang asked stupidly.

"Wait for justice that is late but comes."

Chen answered half jokingly and half seriously.

"What do you mean?"

These friends now have some understanding of Chen Zhe, so Wang Changhua asked tentatively: "Is there any reversal?"

Chen smiled and said nothing.

"Damn it I knew it!"

Wang Changhua breathed a sigh of relief. They all felt that the way Chen handled things tonight was not like Director Chen in the past.

Chen Zhe was the type of person who never lost his temper, never fought, and even seldom swore, but he could always solve problems through casual conversation and never put himself in danger.

I didn't have to wait long before the sound of a car stopping was heard outside the police station. Two or three figures walked in soon, led by a middle-aged man in his 40s.

When the slicked-back bar manager saw him, he quickly stood up and greeted him, calling him "Mr. Guo".

The middle-aged man ignored him and walked straight into the mediation room, followed by the second-level police inspector who had just taken Chen Zhuo's statement and a third-level police inspector.

"If I'm not mistaken, this middle-aged man should be one of the shareholders of the bar, and the third-level police inspector is the person behind the bar."

Chen watched silently and found that he was not the leader of the police station, but just a section-level police officer.

The final result was not unexpected. It is no longer the same as it was a decade ago. Shareholders of entertainment venues all know the principle of making money in a low-key manner. Only these uneducated bar managers and security guards will sooner or later get themselves into trouble.

In addition, during the individual mediation just now, the bar shareholders also realized that Chen Zhe was not an ordinary college student, because the deputy director was supporting him in his words and deeds.

Therefore, the bar agreed to the conditions proposed by Chen Zhuo very readily.

The middle-aged shareholder walked up to Chen and the others with a wad of money in his hand and said politely, "Brother, that bottle of red wine worth 699 yuan was actually for display. The waiter accidentally took the wrong one, but we accept the penalty. The fine is 7000 yuan."

Things like "display wine" and "accidentally took the wrong one" are actually just excuses.

Believe it or not, if you go to a bar and screen the liquor now, the pass rate of genuine liquor will not exceed 5%.

But now that the matter has been reported to the police station, Chen Zhe has indeed been blackmailed for money, and there is solid evidence for both of these things, so he had to give in.

In order to settle the dispute, the middle-aged shareholder added another stack of money: "This is 4000 yuan. Our manager is a little ignorant. Return 2000 yuan intact, and I will treat everyone to a midnight snack with the remaining 2000 yuan."

He didn't know who was the leader among the group of college students until Chen Zhuo stood up, took the 11000 yuan, and then gave 2000 yuan back: "We just want what belongs to us, this extra money..."

Chen turned around and smiled at the bar manager: "Take him to have his head checked. What era is it still blackmailing? I don't have time to waste with him today. If I meet someone else, the bar might be close to closing soon."

When he said this, it sounded more like advice than a warning.

The middle-aged shareholder's face turned serious, and he was about to say something when Lu Tian, who had been sleeping, suddenly let out a "wow" and vomited all the wine he had just drunk.

Lu Tian is good-looking, but her vomit is disgusting, especially since it happened inside the police station.

Now that the cleaning ladies have gone off work and the police officers are worrying about how to clean up the place themselves, Chen waved calmly at Zheng Hao and the others.

The actions of the bar shareholders giving money and apologizing were all seen by these scumbags. Although they didn't know what happened, Chen's image suddenly became mysterious and powerful in their hearts.

"Brother Chen."

Zheng Hao trotted over. He thought Chen was reminding him not to get close to Wu Yu again. In fact, Zheng Hao also secretly vowed not to flirt with this art student again.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhuo just said casually: "Just clean up this place, and I won't bother about what happened today."

After saying that, Chen stood up and just nodded to the second-level police inspector. Then he ignored everyone and walked away.

……

Several friends followed behind, and no one spoke at first.

They expected a reversal, but they didn't expect it to be so radical.

It felt like when Sun Wukong was causing chaos in the sky and had already reached the Golden Palace, he suddenly stopped, hugged the Jade Emperor, and told everyone that this was an exercise to test everyone's reaction and handling of emergencies.

Xu Yue was even more puzzled.

She didn't know how Chen Zhuo got the bar shareholders to give in. When she was giving her statement, she had been saying that she had never tasted fake wine. Why was the case handled like this in the end?

No one said anything now, obviously everyone was still in shock, and Xu Yue continued to quietly pretend to be a good person.

Until Chen Zhuo stopped at a roadside fruit shop, he said to the owner of the fruit shop: "Pick out 1000 yuan worth of fruits, pack them for me and send them to the Xiancun Police Station. Tell the deputy director named Zhang inside that this is Chen Zhuo's vitamin C supplement for the police officers who stay up late on duty."

This is to thank the second-level police inspector and deputy director for his help. Interpersonal relationships are just like love, everything has a response and every word has its implementation.

Keep the favor in mind and return it when the time is right;

Small favors should be repaid on the spot, and never in arrears, so that they can last a long time. The fruit shop often encounters such things as helping to deliver goods, and the demand is so great that the boss readily agreed.

After leaving the fruit shop, Wang Changhua finally reacted and asked Chen: "What on earth is going on?"

"What's going on?"

Chen was playing dumb as always.

"That's it... why did they apologize and pay compensation?"

Wang Changhua's tone was full of excitement: "And the way you left the police station just now was really cool! Next time when I encounter something like this that can be easily handled, can you let me show off with you?"

"Wherever there is."

Chen said modestly: "These are all due to the good mediation of the police, and the other party also realized his mistake. It has nothing to do with me."

"Cut~"

The friends all spat with disdain, saying that being overly modest is hypocritical, but this is normal, there is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname.

"Director Chen" truly lives up to his name.

Seeing that Chen was unwilling to say more, everyone did not force him and went back to the bar together to pick up the electric scooter.

However, because the matter was resolved perfectly, Chen Zhe was not affected at all and even "earned" several thousand dollars. Everyone's mood suddenly improved.

Young people are like this, the transition between good and bad emotions happens in an instant.

Wang Changhua and Huang Baihan were discussing whether all the bars in Guangzhou sell fake liquor.

Wu Yu finally dared to call cos sister back. She shouted, "It's solved, it's solved. Your powerful Director Chen has taken action. How can it not be solved?"

Lu Tian had just vomited and was slowly regaining consciousness. She asked Wu Yu in confusion, "Where is this? Isn't this a bar? I was drunk and had a dream that I went to the police station..."

Xu Yue walked a little behind, looking at Chen from time to time.

She was now becoming more and more certain that tonight was a huge "game".

At first, Zheng Hao and his gang of scumbags were setting up a trap for Wu Yu and Lu Tian;

Later, Huang Baihan secretly called Wang Changhua and tried to break the trap set by those scumbags, but ended up falling into the "trap" set by the bar manager again;

Later, Chen Zhuo arrived, and he used the same trick to break the situation and set up a "trap" for the bar manager;

Finally, the bar's shareholders broke Chen Zhuo's "game" with an apology and compensation;

But Xu Yue felt that there should be more to it than that. Could it be that Chen Zhe was hiding behind everyone and secretly setting up a more secret "plot"?

But Xu Yue had no idea who this game was aimed at.

When I returned to the door of the bar, it was almost 10 o'clock, but the road was even more crowded. The nightlife of first-tier cities had just begun.

"Go back now?"

Huang Baihan asked, feeling that it started well but ended badly.

"I've been busy in Tech Valley for so long, and now you want to kick me out after I come out to settle things?"

Chen Zhuo said unhappily: "You guys should buy me a drink too."

"With Sister Cos away, you seem to be more cool and carefree."

Wang Changhua laughed and asked, "Still going to the bar?"

"not going."

Chen shook his head: "Let's just find a small park and sit on the lawn."

This suggestion was better and was approved by Wu Yu. After what happened tonight, she had become quite averse to going to bars.

Not far from Sun City is the Pearl River Park. Huang Baihan asked Xu Yue considerately, "Sister Xu, do you want to sit there?"

Xu Yue thought about it. She had originally planned to listen to music in the Blue Bar until the early morning before going back. Now this happened. Besides, she was very curious about Chen Zhe and wanted to get to know him better.

So Xu Yue also replied with a smile: "I also want to chat with you all and relax."

Wang Changhua and Wu Yu both had a very good impression of Xu Yue. They thought that this senior schoolmate was well-spoken and kind, so except for Chen Zhuo, no one else had any objection.

But when everyone was about to go to the park, Wang Changhua suddenly remembered something. He looked at Wu Yu's calf and reminded her, "Um... your leg is broken. Do you want to go to the hospital for treatment?"

"no need."

Wu Yu said nonchalantly, "It was just a scratch from some glass shards."

Chen Zhuo then remembered this incident. He had completely forgotten about it, but Wang Changhua still remembered it.

"Let's go disinfect."

Chen Zhuo said, "Be safe. The glass bottle may not be very clean."

At the same time, he was a little puzzled, because it seemed that Wang Changhua was the first one to discover the wound on Wu Yu's body.

It seemed that Wang Changhua was not doing it on purpose, but his attention was unconsciously focused on Wu Yu.

After hearing Chen's suggestion, Wu Yu agreed to go to the hospital. However, it was difficult to get a taxi at that time. She tried to hail a taxi for a long time but all of them were occupied.

"Doesn't Wang Changhua drive an electric scooter?"

Huang Baihan was getting impatient waiting, and said impatiently, "Why don't you just ask him to take you there?"

"what?"

Wu Yu and Wang Changhua were both surprised.

Wang Changhua stammered, "This is the first time I plan to give my girlfriend a ride..."

"Pah! Who wants to sit here?"

Wu Yu also had a stubborn temper and turned around to continue hailing a taxi.

Seeing that the two of them had returned to their usual bickering state, Huang Baihan became even more impatient. We can't just waste our time because of you two.

"Wang Changhua, you are crazy. You are so picky about a small electric scooter."

Huang Baihan complained: "Hurry up and take Wu Yu to the hospital, and come to Zhujiang Park to find us later!"

"OK then."

Wang Changhua thought for a while, and finally agreed reluctantly. He rode his yellow electric donkey to Wu Yu and said, "Go ahead."

"Didn't you say you would only give your girlfriend a ride the first time?"

Wu Yu raised her chin and looked up at the sky.

"Forget it, before you bleed to death, I'll buy you a new one when I find a girlfriend."

Wang Changhua said "viciously".

"Then don't worry, I won't get in your car even if I die."

Wu Yu was still planning to hold out for a while. Anyway, she and Wang Changhua had come to realize that they absolutely could not lose the argument.

Even Chen Zhuo couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and said, "Can you two have a better view of the overall situation? So many people are waiting for you."

"Go away, it's so annoying!"

There was no other way, Wu Yu could only sit in the back seat with "disdain", watching the electric scooter swaying towards the hospital, and following them towards the park.

There are still quite a lot of people in the Pearl River Park tonight. The lawn is full of couples having picnics. The small orange lights they carry are like fireflies, flickering on and off.

Chen picked a spot and said to Xu Yue and Lu Tian, who had sobered up, "Huang Baihan and I will go buy some drinks and come back to see you."

"Okay!"

Xu Yue smiled gently at the two of them.

"Haha~"

Chen also responded with a smile, but the smile seemed quite mysterious in the shadow of the dim street lamp.

Huang Baihan followed Chen and went to the convenience store together. At first, they were both silent, but later Huang Baihan couldn't hold his temper anymore.

He wanted to explain to Chen Zhuo why he was with senior Xu Yue tonight, and at the same time resolve Chen Zhuo's prejudice against Xu Yue.

"Chen Zhe."

Da Huang suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

Chen's face was calm, and no one could tell whether he was sad or happy.

"Senior Xu Yue is not what you think."

Huang Baihan said seriously.

Chen turned around and looked at his best friend. His familiar, dark face showed a determined and excited expression.

"What did I think of her?"

Chen asked back.

"It's, it's..."

Huang Baihan was stunned. He didn't know what kind of person Senior Sister Xu Yue was in Chen Zhuo's heart.
