Ji Shuyan only rested in the hotel for the morning.

Fortunately, despite taking a cold shower yesterday, he didn’t have a fever. But yesterday’s clothes were still wrinkled even though they were hung on a hanger to dry. Duan Zhi, a young master, naturally wouldn’t wash them, so they still carried the smell of cigarettes from the bar. 7uogKw

Ji Shuyan obviously didn’t want to wear them anymore, so he asked the hotel staff to go to the commercial street nearby to buy two new sets of clothes.

After changing his clothes, Duan Zhi walked to Ji Shuyan and started tidying his hair. The two of them stood side by side in front of the full-length dressing mirror, with a height difference of exactly one head. Obviously, they had very different looks and temperaments, they even had an age gap of 13 years but they looked unexpectedly harmonious.

Duan Zhi couldn’t hold back his mouth, “Uncle Ji, we kind of look like a couple, the cutest height difference, have you heard of it?”

Ji Shuyan gave him a look that said, “What is wrong with you?” and buttoned up his cufflinks. Texture of the mother of pearl cufflinks set off the slenderness of his wrists. His fair skin had a bruise from when he knocked it against the car yesterday. 1O9c0E

Duan Zhi’s eyes crossed Ji Shuyan’s wrist, and a glint of hostility flashed in his eyes. He asked, “What are you going to do with the person who drugged you?”

He didn’t know how Ji Shuyan would handle it.

In a case like this, because the person wasn’t caught on the spot, there was a high chance that they wouldn’t be able to file a case due to lack of evidence. Many people would even give up because of this.

But if Ji Shuyan also chose to give up, he would definitely use his own method to find out the person and give that person a social education.

Ji Shuyan glanced at him unexpectedly, “Send him into the police station. What else can I do?.”

Ji Shuyan walked over to get his cell phone and wallet, “Yesterday, I was at my acquaintance’s bar, so it’ll be easy to check the surveillance cameras. Since that person dared to use drugs, he probably hangs out in the area often. It shouldn’t be difficult to catch him.”

There was no way he was going to let this kind of person get away with it.

Leaving aside what happened to himself, seeing that this person dared to spike people’s drinks like this, it most likely wasn’t his first time committing a crime. If he continued to let this kind of scourge go, it was unknown how many people would suffer. cuf1K0

He grimaced, feeling unhappy in his heart.

He doesn’t have a violent temper, but that doesn’t mean that he has a soft character. Everyone in the hospital knows that Director Ji is kind hearted but extremely strict and fierce once he catches a mistake.

Ji Shuyan thought expressionlessly, in fact, he didn’t mind performing a castration surgery on that criminal before sending him to the police station so as to solve the problem from the root.

“I’ll take care of it,” He said to Duan Zhi, “Go back to school first.” dd sAt

He knew that Duan Zhi had good intentions, and even wanted to accompany him to deal with it, but he could handle such a small matter as an adult.

Duan Zhi didn’t insist, “Okay, you can call me if you need anything.”

.

After packing up everything, Ji Shuyan went downstairs with Duan Zhi to check out of the room. WbcPwt

“It’s not your fault,” Ji Shuyan said calmly, “It was me who wasn’t careful enough. Even if it was not a bar yesterday, but somewhere else, I might have encountered the same thing. I can’t always go out with my friends. ”

However, Zheng Wenbin still felt bad. He and Wei Jingming left early because they went to a concert in another place, which was owned by Wei Jingming’s friend. Since Ji Shuyan didn’t want to go and said that he would be going home soon, he didn’t insist either. CflT0

He didn’t expect such a thing to happen in this 20 minute time period.

He asked again, “Did you go home alone later? Why didn’t you call me?”

Ji Shuyan paused. Glancing at Duan Zhi on the passenger seat next to him, he said vaguely, “I called another friend to pick me up, and he took care of me.”

Duan Zhi gently raised his eyebrows, and looked at Ji Shuyan playfully. h6zwsY

Friend?

That was an interesting title.

Ji Shuyan pretended not to feel Duan Zhi’s gaze.

Zheng Wenbin felt relieved, “That’s good, as long as there was someone to take care of you. I’ll go talk to Wei Jingming and ask him to help you check the monitoring. You can just come to the same place as yesterday.” rdXwYM

“Uh-huh.”

.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Ji Shuyan arrived at Liufang Street.

The bar was closed during the day, and only Wei Jingming and Zheng Wenbin were inside. Noticing Ji Shuyan’s car outside, Zheng Wenbin walked out, but the first thing he saw was not Ji Shuyan, but a tall and handsome boy who got out of the car. With sharp eyebrows and indifferent eyes, he looked very difficult to mess with. QlnO6r

But soon Ji Shuyan also came down. Then, like a magic trick, the boy’s expression softened visibly and he walked over to say a few words to Ji Shuyan.

Ji Shuyan nodded, “Don’t worry, go back to school, don’t you still have a part-time job in the afternoon?”

The boy nodded, straddled a BMW motorcycle, and drove away.

Zheng Wenbin poked his head out from behind the door with a face full of confusion. When did Ji Shuyan have such a young friend by his side? CVYiqI

Ji Shuyan walked over with his car keys in hand. Seeing Zheng Wenbin’s quail-like exposed head, he pressed his hand on it.

“Why are you standing here in a daze? Aren’t you going in?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Zheng Wenbin straightened up and walked into the bar with Ji Shuyan. He asked, “Who was that boy just now?”

Ji Shuyan didn’t answer immediately, and said vaguely, “Ji Yuan’s classmate.” zxrNZQ

Inside the bar, Wei Jingming was already checking the surveillance. Although Ji Shuyan said that it had nothing to do with him, such a thing had happened in his own bar. Which boss would really think that it shouldn’t be taken to heart?

He stared at the screen with a serious look on his face, and said to Ji Shuyan, “Don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation.”

Ji Shuyan took a sip of sparkling water. He was not as angry as he was in the morning now. To him, sending that person to the police station was more important than anything else.

“It’s okay, as long as he gets punished.” He said. SVNJkH

Zheng Wenbin gritted his teeth beside him, “How is it okay? It’s better to be locked up for a few years. After reporting the case, we should also investigate strictly. Where did he buy the drugs from?”

Ji Shuyan thought so too. Drugs will not appear out of thin air, perhaps he can find a nest selling drugs by following the clues, which would also be beneficial to the public.

Checking the surveillance was a matter that required attention and time, especially with the number of people who were there last night. The bar was also big, so it really wasn’t easy to find people on the screen.

Ji Shuyan fell into thoughts while staring at the display screen. FXkv42

He was thinking about whether to find a lawyer to deal with this when his arm was lightly touched. Looking up, he saw Zheng Wenbin staring at him, “I forgot to ask you just now, but that little boy who came down from your car, he wouldn’t be the one who took care of you last night, right?”

Ji Shuyan’s expression froze.

He gave Zheng Wenbin a melancholy look. He was really not sharp when he should be sharp, but when he shouldn’t be smart, he became energetic.

But he didn’t hide it either, and gave a “hmm”. tsK1Z8

Zheng Wenbin hissed, and looked at Ji Shuyan in shock. He thought that Ji Shuyan had called a hospital colleague yesterday, but it turned out to be such a young and handsome boy.

Although Ji Shuyan was not gay, a lonely man and widower stayed in the same room and Ji Shuyan had also been drugged, no matter how you thought about it…

Ji Shuyan knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and coughed, “Don’t think nonsense, nothing happened. I called him yesterday because he was the closest to me. He was at the izakaya next door. When we reached the hotel, he just threw me in the bathtub and sprayed me with cold water. Nothing else.”

This last sentence seemed a bit like coverup. Ji Shuyan knew in his heart that although nothing really happened, the “help” Duan Zhi gave him could not be considered innocent. mV0oUd

However, Zheng Wenbin didn’t notice it, and let out a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”

Ji Shuyan was reluctant to talk about last night, so he quickly changed the topic.

He glanced at Zheng Wenbin, “That’s enough about me. Did you and Wei Jingming really go to the concert yesterday?”

He looked at Zheng Wenbin’s neck meaningfully, a semicircular hickey could be seen looming on the edge of his shirt collar. 0NdSiT

Zheng Wenbin followed Ji Shuyan’s gaze and subconsciously covered his neck. He started stammering for words, and his face soon flushed red.

Ji Shuyan chuckled. Knowing what was going on, he didn’t ask again.

Not long after, Wei Jingming suddenly called out to them, “Take a look, is this the person?”

The two of them immediately moved closer and fixed their attention at the direction pointed by Wei Jingming’s fingertips. dXsP4y

On the grey freeze-frame screen, Ji Shuyan could be clearly seen sitting on the bar counter, typing on his mobile phone with his head bowed. The cocktail glass in front of him was actually not far away, right beside his hand.

Less than half a metre away from him, stood a man in a floral shirt. He was about 1.7 metres tall with a bland and plain face that was not easy to remember. The only distinctive feature on his face was his moustache. Leaning against the bar counter, his eyes seemed to be searching for something on the dance floor, but one of his hands was resting on the side of Ji Shuyan’s glass.

Ji Shuyan frowned, “It’s him.”

Wei Jingming pressed the play button, slowed it down, repeated several times, and finally saw the person’s movements clearly. He had a small transparent bag in his hand which he quickly passed over Ji Shuyan’s cocktail glass, sprinkling a white powder. kUzhIW

“This guy is a habitual thief, look how fast he is moving,” Zheng Wenbin stared at the screen, “If we hadn’t slowed the video down, who would have noticed.”

Wei Jingming’s face was also very ugly.

He turned his head and said to Ji Shuyan, “I’m sorry to let you experience this kind of thing in my bar. I will strengthen the security and increase the number of probes to avoid this kind of situation again as much as possible.”

Ji Shuyan nodded. This was also a good thing for the customers who came here to spend money. dNvih1

.

Now that the suspect had been found, the next steps were much simpler. After Ji Shuyan reported the crime, he was arrested at the door of another bar within a few days. It was also due to Wei Jingming’s efforts. He knew many people and In conjunction with the police, they checked all the surveillance around the area to find the guy’s licence plate and caught him the moment he got out of his car.

After arresting this person, they were able to follow the trail and find the den that sold him drugs.

Ji Shuyan went to the police station to give another statement. After verification, the case was basically over. 0T36uv

Wei Jingming talked to him on the phone about the follow-up, “The good news in this misfortune is that the drug is actually not that effective. Many people would just feel dizzy, and their reaction is not particularly violent, so it is unlikely to cause any problem. But you might have a relatively special physique as a result of which the effect was so intense.”

Ji Shuyan: “…”

What should he say? He has never had such luck when buying lottery tickets, but there was never any lack of it when it came to bad things.

“I see. I’ve troubled you these few days.” He said. hkZWVg

“It’s not worth mentioning,” Wei Jingming let out a laugh. “Just don’t be afraid. Next time you come to my bar, I promise to have bodyguards standing next to you from beginning to end.”

Ji Shuyan also smiled, “Then I thank you in advance. I’ll treat you and Zheng Wenbin to dinner sometime.”

“Well, I should be the one to treat you.”

The two exchanged pleasantries and hung up. WXB3fu

Ji Shuyan put his phone on the holder, stepped on the accelerator, merged into the traffic, and drove in the direction of A University.

It was Saturday, and there was a performance at Ji Yuan’s college. He had promised Ji Yuan to come over as an audience member.

Translator's Note


For those like me, without much knowledge of cufflinks, they are a type of cufflinks made from mother of pearl or an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer.
I was really confused until someone told me it was a type of material.
Reference:Mother of pearl cufflinks

Translator's Note


It is again a spin on a lonely man and widow [孤男寡女 (gū nán guǎ nǚ)] alone in one room. Here it is 孤男寡男 (gū nán guǎ nán), meaning that both of them are male. This phrase is used to describe a situation where a man and woman are alone in a room and imply that something something might have happened between them.
