Love Apartment: South Wind Passage.

Chapter 597 Trial Result
Zhanbo took the phone with a suspicious look on his face and opened the Taobao order. Nanfeng and Zhang Wei also stretched their heads over curiously.

“Tiffany heart-shaped necklace—Valentine’s Day special?!!”

Zhanbo's eyes widened with excitement, and he shouted, "You bought this necklace?"

Ziqiao nodded: "That's right."

"That's unreasonable!"

Zhanbo angrily picked up the bag of instant noodles as a gavel and smashed it on the table: "Bold Qiao, you not only stole my coat, but also plagiarized my gift idea!"

"Hey!"

Ziqiao explained with a smile: "Can you please check my purchase time? I bought the necklace earlier than you came over and asked us to choose between the two, okay?"

"It really is."

Zhang Wei took a closer look and spoke out to confirm Ziqiao's innocence.

Then he looked at Ziqiao cheerfully: "Now I understand, the reason you tricked Zhanbo into buying a coat is because you already bought a necklace, and you were afraid that Zhanbo would buy the same one as you, right?"

"Forehead……"

Ziqiao smiled awkwardly. In fact, he had seen Meijia staring at the fashion magazine in Wanyu's hand a few days ago. Her eager eyes wandered back and forth between the coat and the necklace. Only a fool could not see that she liked these two things.
He originally wanted to buy a coat for Meijia, so he found this coat store on Taobao.

However, based on his understanding of Meijia's figure, he knew at a glance that the coat was too big and ugly for Meijia, so he had to reluctantly give up the low price and choose to buy the necklace.

As for asking Zhanbo to buy a coat... he purely wanted to use Zhanbo's kickbacks to replenish his blood, otherwise he would be penniless.

Nan Feng asked curiously, "Zi Qiao, where did you get the money to buy the necklace?"

Ziqiao snorted when he heard this, and said stubbornly: "I spend my own money, do I need to notify you?"

"Yo ho!"

Nan Feng immediately looked at Zhang Wei: "Mr. Zhang, someone is defying the court and refusing to answer questions. This is extremely bad behavior. What do you think we should do?"

Zhang Wei coughed heavily, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, we can only explain the truth of the matter to everyone.

"Especially Meijia and Wanyu, as victims of deception, they should have the right to know."

"No, no, no!"

Seeing that Nanfeng and Zhang Wei, two bastards, were threatening him with this kind of thing, Ziqiao gritted his teeth and said, "Three great lords, I will confess and I will tell the truth!"

"Tsk, I have to scare you into behaving, what have you been doing?" Nan Feng rolled his eyes at him, "Tell me now."

"me……"

Ziqiao stammered, "Do you still remember my godmother Elizabeth? She gave me a very big red envelope before."

"remember."

Zhanbo thought for a moment and said, "The red envelope should be worth more than 10,000 yuan."

Ziqiao sighed, his face full of pain: "Yes, I didn't spend a penny of this money myself.

"Before, when I was tied to Meijia because of the side effects, she cheated me out of a few months' rent. The rest was all put into this necklace."

Zhang Wei stood up slightly after hearing this and reached out to touch Ziqiao's forehead: "You don't have a fever, do you?"

"What, what!"

Ziqiao patted Zhang Wei in annoyance and said, "Can't I give Meijia a decent birthday present?"

"Don't be ridiculous, you are Lu Ziqiao."

Zhang Wei sat down, crossed his arms and asked in confusion, "I can understand why Zhanbo spent money on such an expensive gift, but why did you do that, Ziqiao?
"Could it be that... you want to get back together with Mika?"

"Her? Chen Meijia?"

Ziqiao said without thinking: "As the saying goes, a good horse never turns back, not to mention that it was so long ago that Meijia and I met.

"How much do you think I must have been traumatized to want to get back together with Meijia?"

"Then why do you save the money to buy Mika's birthday gift instead of spending it on yourself?"

Zhang Wei asked, "Did you really take the wrong medicine?"

Ziqiao fell silent.

In fact, he himself still hasn't figured out why he did this.

Maybe it was because of what his godfather and Elizabeth said to him the night they left, or maybe it was because he saw Mika crying bitterly at the wedding the next day.

Maybe it was because he was forced to be tied to Meijia and witnessed with his own eyes the efforts of Meijia that were ignored by him, or maybe it was because even Meijia was planning to find a new job, seek advancement, and want to change, so maybe he should take a step forward as well.

Of course, it could also be that when he saw Mika staring at the coat and necklace in the magazine, he was touched.

Why, why, why...there are not so many whys in this world!
I can't be doing this to make up for my belated awakening and the debt that deserves death, right?

Nan Feng glanced at Zi Qiao calmly, knocked on the table lightly, and helped Zi Qiao change the subject: "Anyway, if Zi Qiao has already bought the necklace, then things will be much easier than we expected."

"Anyway, the prices of the necklace and the coat are about the same. Meijia obviously likes the coat very much, and Wanyu happens to like both. Why don't you just exchange them?

"My suggestion is: why don't you just go with the flow and give the coat to Meijia, and then Zhanbo you can give the necklace to Wanyu. You two can then make up the difference between the coat and the necklace, and then wouldn't the problem be solved perfectly?"

"Yup!"

Zhanbo, who originally thought that his Valentine's Day had been dull, suddenly came alive again. He looked at Ziqiao with burning eyes: "Ziqiao, what do you think?"

Although Zhanbo seemed to be asking for his opinion, Ziqiao always felt that as long as he dared not agree with him, he would die with him.

Ziqiao nodded repeatedly: "I think it's okay, let's do it."

Since Meijia likes this coat so much and the coat is cheaper than the necklace, there is no reason for him not to change it.

"Great, now there's only one question left."

Nan Feng opened the logistics information and took a look, then frowned deeply: "Can your express delivery arrive on Valentine's Day?"

"I'll do the math."

Zhanbo looked at the logistics information carefully, then he closed his eyes and used his genius mind that could simulate an atomic bomb explosion to frantically calculate various possibilities.

Soon, Zhanbo opened his eyes excitedly and said, "As long as there are no car accidents, typhoons, earthquakes, fires, alien invasions, spiritual energy revival, awakening of the Planet of the Apes, and other variables that are difficult to predict tomorrow, the necklace will definitely arrive tomorrow night!"

"That's okay."

Zi Qiao stretched his body after hearing this. He said with a sense of relief, "Since this is the case, the problem has been solved. Let's all go back to our rooms and prepare for bed."

"correct."

Ziqiao then reminded, "The matter of the coat and the necklace is known only to you and me, and no fifth person should know about it."

Nanfeng and the other two nodded. They certainly wouldn't go around telling this story when they had nothing to do after eating.

And from a certain perspective, Meijia's joy tonight was not fake. At least Ziqiao really prepared an expensive birthday gift for her, but the express delivery had not arrived yet.

If that's the case, then there's no need for them to tell the truth.

Just when Ziqiao was about to take back his phone and leave, Nanfeng suddenly snatched the phone from Zhanbo. "It's too early to leave now. We still have one thing to settle."

Zi Qiao was stunned when he heard this: "What's the matter?"

Nan Feng chuckled: "You guys, you feel great to hear everyone praising you tonight, right? But you made us feel sick the whole night, how do you deal with this?"

"besides……"

He smiled and pointed at the shopping list for the coat: "It seems that you only spent 7,000 yuan on this coat?"

Nan Feng slammed the table heavily: "I knew you took a kickback!"

"Depend on!"

Ziqiao's pupils suddenly dizzy.

He was just thinking about surviving Zhanbo's clutches, and he never expected that Nanfeng, a bad guy, would actually puncture his tires at the last minute.

"What?!!"

Zhan Bo was immediately furious when he heard this: "Zi Qiao, I treat you as a good brother, but you actually took my kickbacks!"

Seeing this, Ziqiao smiled flatteringly at Zhanbo and said, "Zhanbo, taking kickbacks is actually very normal.

"Besides, no matter how much kickbacks I took, at least I really helped you save two thousand dollars, right?"

"Forehead……"

Zhan Bo was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly felt that what Ziqiao said seemed to make sense. He did buy a cheap coat, and there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with Ziqiao making some money as a middleman?
If there were only Zhanbo and Ziqiao now, he would most likely have been fooled by Ziqiao's lies.

It’s a pity that at this moment, there is still a legal pioneer who is extremely sensitive to money, upright, kind and has integrity.

Zhang Wei said directly: "Zhanbo, don't listen to him, this is just a Taobao store, it's not his exclusive channel.

“I don’t believe that if you go to Taobao to buy a coat yourself, you won’t find this coat store!

"He is taking advantage of the information gap and helping you close the deal first, so that he can get the kickback.

"Zi Qiao's behavior is what is known as killing an old friend!"

"Oh~~~"

Zhan Bo suddenly understood. He turned his head and stared at Zi Qiao with a bad face: "So you are still trying to trick me!"

"me……"

Ziqiao was almost crying now. How could he have thought that as soon as one wave of trouble subsided, another wave would come. He was invincible in the martial arts world and had survived a dead end just now, but now he had capsized in the gutter.

So why on earth did he get so crazy at that time that he volunteered to help Zhanbo buy a coat?

If it weren't for this stupid behavior, nothing would have happened tonight!

Seeing that the looks from Zhanbo and the other two were becoming increasingly hostile, Ziqiao wisely raised his hands in surrender.

"My three great masters, I plead guilty and accept the punishment. I only ask that you show leniency to me."

"Is it?"

Nanfeng and the other two looked at each other, and seemed to have an idea in their minds.

The three of them ran to the living room shoulder to shoulder, whispered something to each other, and then came back under Ziqiao's gaze.

Zhang Wei cleared his throat and said formally: "Since the suspect Lv Ziqiao has confessed to his actions, the verdict after the three-court trial is as follows.

"Lü Ziqiao, the crimes you committed are simply too numerous to list. You should be paraded through the streets and be spit on and insulted by everyone in the apartment."

Zi Qiao exclaimed, "No way, I just took a kickback of 1,000 yuan, and then accidentally left my coat on the coffee table, how can it be so sinful that I have to be paraded through the streets?

"You three are simply making arbitrary judgments and taking human lives lightly!"

"Don't interrupt me! You've ruined the atmosphere I worked so hard to create!"

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes at Zi Qiao and said, "However, considering that you didn't intentionally give the coat to Mei Jia, and that you had a reason for it, and that you actively cooperated with the investigation throughout, we decided..."

Zi Qiao raised an eyebrow: "Acquitted?"

Nan Feng was delighted when he heard this: "You haven't even closed your eyes yet, why are you dreaming?"

"cut,"

Ziqiao curled his lips.

Zhang Wei continued, “So we decided not to publicly sentence you for your crime, and this crime will not be recorded in your scumbag file.

"But you have to return the kickback money to Zhanbo, besides that..."

He knocked on the table and said seriously, "We will deprive you of all your freedom on Valentine's Day until Zhanbo's Valentine's Day confession plan is completed.

"During this process, you must serve as Zhanbo's technical advisor and make meritorious contributions to your crime. Only then will we consider pardoning you."

"What?!!"

Ziqiao was completely dumbfounded: "No, it's ok that you didn't let me pick up girls on Valentine's Day, but you asked me to help others pick up girls?"

"Yes."

Nanfeng and the other two nodded heavily.

"I……"

Ziqiao subconsciously wanted to quit.

Asking him to do nothing on Valentine's Day and help others pick up girls is like asking Curry Sauce not to eat anything himself and to feed others; asking Youyou not to act and to help others run errands to get roles is like asking him to do nothing and to help others pick up girls.

This is simply bullying!

"Ok?"

Nan Feng and the others rubbed their hands and said, "You said you plead guilty and accepted the punishment, and now you have objections?"

Seeing three tall guys, each about 1.80 meters tall, looking at him with a grin on their faces, Ziqiao could only force a smile no matter how reluctant he was.

"No, how could it be?"

He patted his chest and assured: "Zhanbo is my good brother, it is my duty to help him."

"Then it's only right for you to keep silent and take my thousand-dollar kickback?" Zhan Bo asked suddenly.

Ziqiao smiled awkwardly, "Brothers are brothers, but this is two different matters."

"cut."

Nanfeng and the other two said with disdain.
