Chapter 97 Love Can't Be Calculated
After that day, Shi Lei went to the construction site honestly again, but because of drug use, his eye sockets were sunken, and he was listless all day long. Sometimes he couldn't hold back his addiction, so he hid in the toilet and took a few sips secretly.

When Lu Zhengnan came to the construction site once, he happened to see him running to the toilet in a hurry, even bumping into someone without caring, with tears streaming down his face.

There was a suspicious look in his eyes, but he didn't ask. After he came back, he asked someone to find out the situation.

When he learned that Shi Lei often asked for money in public, and then thought of what he saw today, he snorted coldly: "Isn't he a drug addict?"

He then ordered to keep an eye on Shi Lei more on weekdays to avoid accidents.

And his prophecy really came true, and it didn't take long for something to happen.When Shi Lei went to Lingling's hair salon that night, he was arrested.

Fortunately, they hadn't taken drugs at the time, they were just fooling around, so they were arrested for soliciting prostitutes.

Qin Nian panicked when he received the news, and hurried to find Qi Zhen.

Qi Zhen was indeed worried that if things got too serious, he immediately asked someone to go to bail.

The matter was urgent, and he thought of the most suitable candidate——Chen Ze.

Chen Ze was surprised when he received his call. Since the incident with Mi Li'er last time, Qi Zhen had cut off contact with him and hadn't contacted him for a long time.

"A relative of one of my subordinates was arrested for prostitution. Do me a favor and get him out tonight." Qi Zhen said lightly.

The friendship between Chen Ze and Qi Zhen was not a day or two after all, not to mention it was considered a business matter, he did not refuse: "Success, don't worry."

This kind of matter was a piece of cake for Chen Ze, and it was resolved after two hours. Qin Nian came to pick Shi Lei up personally, and thanked Shi Lei very much, saying that this was his cousin's son, and thanked Chen Ze for his help.

Chen Ze didn't think much about it at the time, but when he was in the Public Security Bureau, he went through the case and found that this person had a lot of criminal records, which made him feel a little strange.

The next day, Qi Zhen sent a sum of money to his account, saying it was last night's reward, and when he hung up the phone, he told him to keep it a secret, so as not to affect Shi Lei's future.

Does that kind of person still have a future?Chen Ze smiled, but still agreed.

With this incident as a foreshadowing, the relationship between Qi Zhen and Chen Ze eased again, and they occasionally talked on the phone.

Recently, Chen Ze was also entangled in lawsuits. He helped someone win a lawsuit before, but after the plaintiff lost, he turned around and sued him, saying that he helped the defendant to give false testimony.

In the industry, this is a big taboo. Once convicted, the lawyer's license will be revoked.

So he's pretty much overwhelmed.

After Qi Zhen knew about the situation, he asked if he needed help, but Chen Ze didn't want to owe favors easily, so he temporarily declined.

That day when he came out of the court, he was in a depressed mood. He drove around to relax, and unknowingly came to the downstairs of Ye Chuxiao's studio. Thinking about it, he hadn't seen her for many days, so he went upstairs to see her.

The first thing she saw when she opened the door was Shen Ya. She used to think of him as a villain, but later found out that he had secretly helped Ye Chuxiao a lot, and her impression of him changed a lot. Therefore, when she saw him now, she was very enthusiastic : "Why are you here, come in and sit down."

Ye Chuxiao happened to go to the bathroom, so Shen Ya went to pour him water and make coffee first, and chat with him.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be as energetic as before, Shen Ya was a little surprised: "Why do you look so gloomy?"

Chen Ze shook his head and did not speak.

And at this time Ye Chuxiao also came back, happened to hear Shen Ya's words, and looked at Chen Ze carefully, and felt that something was wrong, walked over and asked, "Did something not go your way?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I've walked a lot at night, how can I not meet ghosts?" Chen Ze sighed, resting his hands behind his head, looked at Ye Chuxiao's figure, and joked with a smile: "You are blessed, right away!" There will be both sons and daughters."

Ye Chuxiao smiled, but her heart was not so relaxed. Ever since she was pregnant, she had encountered one thing after another, making her always feel frightened.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Ze was also a person who was good at observing words and expressions, and asked softly.

Shen Ya happened to have something to leave at this time, Ye Chuxiao sighed: "Actually, it's okay, maybe it's just me who is suspicious."

These days, from time to time, that scarred face lingers in her mind. Although she tells herself not to think too much, the feeling is too frightening, and it is difficult to let go completely. I always feel that that person will suddenly appear again at some point in front of her.

"What's going on? You tell me, and I'll help you keep it a secret." Chen Ze raised his hand to promise.

After a long time of contact, Chen is actually a person who gives people a sense of trust. Under his questioning, Ye Chuxiao finally said: "Some time ago... I seemed to see someone I knew in the past... I remembered something about the past. about..."

As long as she said this, she couldn't go on.

Chen Ze looked at her, opened his mouth, but didn't ask any more questions after all.He also roughly guessed that it must be an unspeakable past.

"Forget it." He patted her on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, ah, everything is fine for you now."

"Yeah." Ye Chuxiao nodded, and asked him again: "What's the matter with you?"

The two of them were here at the moment, and he didn't shy away from it any longer, and roughly told what happened recently.

"So serious?" Ye Chuxiao worried: "Then what should I do?"

Chen Ze smiled wryly: "Now that the witness insists that I made a malicious confession, I can't do anything about it."

"It will always pass, as long as you are innocent, no one can wrong you." Ye Chuxiao comforted him.

With her encouragement, he felt better and stretched his waist: "Are you free now, why don't you go for a ride with me and drink tea?"

Ye Chuxiao understood the pain of being in a difficult situation but no one to share it, so she readily agreed.

After informing Shen Ya, the two of them went downstairs, saying they were going for a ride. In fact, Chen Ze was also worried about her health, so he went not far away, so he found a restaurant in the city center and settled for lunch by the way.

They ate and chatted, but they didn't notice another group of people coming in at the door.

Qi Zhen came with clients, but the waiter was about to lead them into the private room, but he saw the two people sitting by the window.

How could Chen Ze and Ye Chuxiao be together?
If there is no ghost in his heart, it may be nothing to see this scene, but he has it.

He suddenly thought of Shi Lei.

Will Chen discover anything...

"I'm sorry, you go ahead. I met two friends and went over to say hello." Qi Zhen politely apologized to the customer, and then walked towards the window.

When Ye Chuxiao saw Qi Zhen, his expression froze immediately, and he leaned back guardedly.

Seeing this, Chen Ze gave her a comforting look.

And this kind of tacit understanding between them, in the eyes of Qi Zhen, who was originally harboring a suspicion, gave rise to some inexplicable doubts.

"Coincidentally, my client and I came over for dinner." He smiled.

As soon as Ye Chuxiao remembered that he deliberately let go and almost caused him a miscarriage, she didn't have the extra mood to be polite to him, she stood up and went to the bathroom.

Qi Zhen didn't move, watched her walk away, then looked at Chen Ze: "Why did you eat with her?"

The tone of his question made Chen Ze feel a little uncomfortable, so he smiled lightly: "It's normal for friends to come out for dinner once in a while."

"It's better for you and her to stay far away." Qi Zhen stared at him closely: "Especially don't tell her anything you shouldn't tell her."

Chen Ze was startled, and asked back, "What do you mean?"

Qi Zhen paused, and replied in a general way: "My business."

Chen Ze wanted to ask again, but he had already turned and left.

When Ye Chuxiao came back, it was already 10 minutes later, and Chen Ze had already finished eating and was waiting for her.

"I don't want to eat either, let's go." Qi Zhen's appearance made her lose her appetite.

Chen Ze didn't say anything, and took her away after paying the bill.

In the car, Ye Chuxiao finally couldn't hold back, and asked him, "What did Qi Zhen say to you just now?"

"Just a few gossips." Chen Ze smiled.In fact, up until now, he hadn't figured out what was hidden in Qi Zhen's words just now.

Lu Zhengnan naturally knew what he knew, and Ye Chuxiao didn't need to ask him for proof.

After sending Ye Chuxiao to the studio, on the way back to the office by himself, he was still thinking about what Qi Zhen said, when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

To talk about the real relationship recently, there is actually only one thing - Shi Lei.

But isn't that person Qin Nian's relative? What could he have to do with Ye Chuxiao?He carefully recalled the whole story of this incident, and suddenly a detail jumped out of his mind. He remembered that Shi Lei's information showed that he had a former name called Ye Lei.

Also surnamed Ye...

Thinking back to what Ye Chuxiao said today, she met someone she once knew a while ago, and remembered some past events.

Does it really have anything to do with Ye Chuxiao?
Chen Ze frowned, wondering whether this reasoning made sense, or whether it was purely his own random associations.

Before going to bed that night, he hesitated for a long time, and finally called Qi Zhen.

"What's the matter?" When Qi Zhen picked it up, his voice was always calm and unwavering.

Chen Ze was silent for a while, before asking: "Did you mean Shi Lei's incident during the day?"

He clearly felt that the other party was taken aback. As a lawyer, he was familiar with the connection between emotional reactions and the truth, and he felt a little more certain in his heart: "What's the relationship between him and Chu Xiao?"

"Chen Ze." Qi Zhen called his name suddenly, seeming to be smiling: "Sometimes people are too smart, and that's not a good thing, especially those who show their intelligence."

Chen Ze didn't speak, his eyes flickered.

Qi Zhen was over there, walking leisurely to the balcony, looking at the lights of thousands of houses under his feet: "I still say the same thing, don't tell her what you shouldn't tell her."

"Stop calculating." Chen Ze let out a long sigh: "Love cannot be calculated."

As if Qi Zhen had never heard of it, as soon as he let go, the white note paper held between his fingers fell into the boundless night like a dying butterfly...

The next day, Chen Ze came to the Public Security Bureau again, and checked Shi Lei's case with his acquaintances again.He remembered correctly, Shi Lei used to be called Ye Lei, and his first crime was ten years ago, when he was 25 years old, he was sentenced to three years for attempted rape.

Attempted rape.These four words exploded in Chen Ze's mind like a shock, and he immediately thought of Ye Chuxiao.

However, the time is too long, and the investigation is carried out in different places, so it is impossible to determine the detailed case.When he came out of the Public Security Bureau, he took his mobile phone and wanted to call Ye Chuxiao several times, but in the end he didn't dial the number.

If the facts are as he guessed, then this must be the most painful memory in her life, and he dare not touch it easily.

But now that Shi Lei appeared around her again, if he didn't remind her, would he cause harm again?

Back at the office, the assistant came over and said that there was a new trend in his own case, so he had to rush to the court without stopping, and put Shi Lei's matter on hold for now, but he was still uneasy...

And on this day, Qi Zhen went to Lu Zhengnan and said that the original budget estimate was wrong and additional investment was needed.

"Your budget can also be wrong?" Lu Zhengnan smiled half-smile.

Qi Zhen seemed a little ashamed: "I didn't expect the price of raw materials to soar, and now they all say they can't afford it."

Lu Zhengnan nodded: "That's right, the money is no longer money now, the original one hundred can only be spent as one piece now, and the money is gone before there is much movement."

The words were spoken half-brightly, and Qi Zhen seemed not to hear any implication, just staring and asking: "Then this investment..."

Lu Zhengnan looked at him, paused for a while before speaking: "You can make a report and see how much you want."

"Then thank you for your support." Qi Zhen smiled, stood up and said goodbye.

Not long after he went out, Uncle Li came over, and when he heard Lu Zhengnan talk about Qi Zhen's reason for coming, he immediately angrily said, "This is here after tossing around in Beijing."

Lu Zhengnan sneered: "It's just the beginning, if I don't use this resort to ruin my family, he won't stop."

"Then you just let him?" Uncle Li asked anxiously.

Lu Zhengnan just didn't speak.

Sure enough, Qi Zhen's report was handed in in the afternoon, and the lion asked for an astonishing amount.

Lu Zhengnan didn't say anything, and directly approved it.

Even Qin Nian was surprised by his straightforwardness, and asked Qi Zhen hesitantly, "Inside...does Mr. Lu have other plans?"

But Qi Zhen sneered: "This is what he owes me, and I have to give it if I don't give it. If he really has other plans, that's even better, at least he is still an opponent."

Qin Nian retreated without a word, feeling that the water was too deep, and he might not be able to follow along...

The next day was the weekend, and Shiman flew over from Beijing again.

On the night with Qi Zhen last time, she had hoped that she could get pregnant, but God did not bless her, she did not have such a good life.

After waiting for more than a month without any movement in her stomach, she had no choice but to come to Qizhen again to see if she could find another opportunity.

But this time, Qi Zhen didn't show any good looks, and didn't even share the bed.

Extremely unwilling, she stayed in the ancient city like last time, no matter whether Qi Zhen was annoying or not every day, she insisted on appearing in various occasions where he appeared, including the construction site, as the proprietress.

And when she came this day, Qi Zhen was talking with other people, and she was very bored by the side, so she wandered around. At this moment, a person suddenly ran over in a panic from the side, and bumped into her body.

"Hey, what's the matter with you, you don't have eyes?" She cursed.

It was Shi Lei who bumped into her, and he went to the bathroom to deal with his addiction, he didn't care about the person in front of him, he just pushed her away and ran away.

"It's still lawless!" Someone dared to treat her like this, so she immediately went to complain to Qi Zhen.

But Qi Zhen had already gone to other places with the client at this moment, so she had no choice but to go to Qin Nian angrily.

Qin Nian hurriedly comforted her and asked who bumped into her.

"I don't know the name, I only see a scar on his right cheek." Shiman rolled his eyes.

Oops, it's him again.Qin Nian groaned secretly in his heart, hating Shi Lei for being too good at causing trouble.

"Call him to me. I didn't even say an apology when I bumped into him. He thought who I was!" Shiman couldn't hold back his breath. He always felt guilty when he was with Qi Zhen, but now this man dared to hit her like this. It also showed that she didn't take her as the proprietress seriously.

Seeing that Qin Nian couldn't persuade him, he had no choice but to go to Shi Lei.

Shi Lei had just come out of taking drugs, and he was still in a semi-crazy state, when Qin Nian asked him something, he just smirked in a trance.

After asking and asking, he didn't understand a few words, and came to Shiman, looked back and forth at this pretty woman, and there was a bit of lust in his eyes.

His unscrupulous gaze angered Shiman even more, and he slapped him directly when he went up.

Shi Lei was stunned by the beating, and then the hostility in his body was also stirred up. He grabbed Shi Man's wrist and pushed her to the wall, and pressed her waist with the other hand.

Qin Nian over there was so frightened that he hurried over to pull him: "Shi Lei, why are you crazy?"

The person pulled away, but Shi Man felt that he had suffered a great humiliation, pointing at Shi Lei and trembling with anger: "Send me this hooligan to the Public Security Bureau immediately, call now, dare to tease me, you don't want to die!"

"What's the trouble?" Qi Zhen's voice suddenly sounded.

Shiman turned around immediately, and threw himself into his arms aggrievedly, crying, "This rascal actually bullied me..."

Qi Zhen didn't move, but there was disgust in his eyes, and then he glanced at Shi Lei sharply, and he shrank back in fright.

"Okay, what's the big deal." Qi Zhen raised his hand and reluctantly patted Shiman on the back.

Shiman was still relentless and insisted on calling the police.

After arguing for a while, Qi Zhen growled impatiently: "I've agreed!"

Shi Man was startled, and then fell silent, but still stared at Shi Lei fiercely, wishing to tear out the eyeballs he just looked at her.

Qi Zhen winked at Qin Nian, and he took Shi Lei away.

On the way back, Shiman was still angry, but he felt a little strange in his heart, who is that person? According to Qi Zhen's temperament, no matter what, he would not use such a person to do things, let alone today's situation, he obviously still protects him. that person.

In the afternoon, when Qin Nian came to report the matter and was about to leave, Shiman followed out pretending to be innocent, and asked him, "What is the origin of that person during the day?"

Qin Nian didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only continue to make up the story before, saying that it was his cousin's son, and then said a lot of good things to her for Shi Lei.

She didn't say anything more, but when she thought of Shi Lei's appearance at that time, she was still very annoyed.

It's also a narrow road to Yuanjia, within two days, Shi Man unexpectedly met Shi Lei again, and this time, she was even more surprised.

Shi Lei's money was taken away by Lingling and the others again, he had no choice but to call Qi Zhen again.

Qi Zhen was busy and bored, but hearing Shi Lei's impatient tone, he was afraid that he would make a big fuss again, so he had to go to the empty top floor, handed him an envelope, and then went downstairs.

Shi Lei was ecstatic, after he left, he took out a thick stack of banknotes from the envelope, wet his fingers with saliva, and began to count the money.

This was a secret scene, but at this time, Shiman was also blowing the air on the roof, hiding in a corner, and saw it clearly.

She couldn't believe her eyes.Qi Zhen would give money to Shi Lei in private? !
Shi Lei was about to leave after counting the money, when he suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Stop."

He turned his head and found that it was Shi Man. He already knew her identity yesterday, so he hurriedly salivated and apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, it was my recklessness that bumped into you yesterday..."

But at the moment Shiman's attention is no longer on that matter, what she wants to understand is what she saw today: "Why did Qi Zhen give you so much money?"

Shi Lei remembered what Qi Zhen had told him, he hesitated and refused to say it.

"Say it!" Shi Man raised his eyebrows: "Are you blackmailing him? If you don't tell me, I'll call the police and arrest you immediately."

Seeing that this woman was difficult to deal with, Shi Lei couldn't deal with it, so he ran at full speed, Shi Man hurried to catch up, but her speed couldn't catch up with him, and his figure disappeared in the corridor in a blink of an eye.

Shiman stood at the top of the stairs panting, feeling that there must be some ulterior secret in it.

Back at the hotel at night, Qi Zhen asked Shiman to sleep in the next room as before, but this time she didn't obey, she looked at him, with an inexplicable dark light flashing inside, and asked softly: "What are you doing today?" , why did you give Shi Lei money?"

Qi Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and the hand that was holding the doorknob slowly loosened. Shiman smiled and squeezed into the door.

Sitting down by the bed, she lowered her head and played with the sequins on her nails. After a while, she raised her eyes again: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"It has nothing to do with you." The answer Qi Zhen gave her was only four words.

"It has nothing to do with me?" Shiman added, "Then what is the relationship between him and you?"

Qi Zhen pursed his lips, sat down at the table, and turned on the computer.

Shiman walked over and put his hand on his shoulder: "Actually, I felt strange yesterday. You still protect such a person. It's really not your style. Today I saw you secretly giving him money, huh, Qi Zhen, do you have something in someone else's hands, tell me, and I will help you find someone to solve it."

"Don't worry about it." Qi Zhen pressed her hand suddenly, so hard that she felt pain, and she wanted to pull it out, but she couldn't.

His behavior like this made Shiman feel that the truth behind it was not trivial, but she changed her attitude wisely and posted him with a charming smile: "You are so fierce, I will think it is you who want to..."

Unexpectedly, Qi Zhen actually hugged her, lifted her skirt, and poked his fingers inside.

I have to say that no matter how ruthless he is, he is still an excellent lover on the bed. Shiman has no time to think about other things, and is only led by him to toss and roll between heaven and hell...

Early the next morning, he sent her back to Beijing.She knew in her heart that this was the real purpose of his "gift" last night, but to her, her purpose had been achieved anyway, so she obediently returned to Beijing.But she still often thinks of what she saw before, and she is full of doubts...
