Chapter 154: Disposal
  Just as the attendant was trying to negotiate with the people inside, Ah Cheng arrived, dispersed the crowd, and kicked the door open.

  The man inside was clearly unprepared for the people outside to be so unreasonable. Panicked, he quickly pulled the sheets over the figure on the bed.

  Seeing Ah Cheng and his men stride in, the man panicked and stood up, shouting, "Do you have any sense of law? I was resting, and you're barging in! I'm calling the police, I'm suing you!"

  Despite his best efforts to stop them, Wen Ning spotted a coat lying on the floor—the very windbreaker he'd bought for Fang Qingxin!
  Upon receiving Wen Ning's gaze, Ah Cheng, without a word, grabbed the man by the collar, punched him twice, and threw him out the door like a dead dog.

  Qiu Yulin, though unaware of what was happening, understood the situation.

  He immediately cleared the area and sent his driver to prepare a large coat.

  Inside the room, Wen Ning clenched his fists nervously and flung back the sheets. Seeing Fang Qing still alive,

  he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly untied the ropes that bound Fang Qing, and only after he held her in his arms did he feel his pounding heart return to normal.

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

  Fang Qing heard the conversation outside while still in the room. She had been hopeful the previous few times the waiter had knocked on the door, but each time they were scolded away by the man, she felt disappointed again and again.

  Unexpectedly, at her most desperate moment, Wen Ning and Ah Cheng suddenly appeared from nowhere to save her.

  Although Fang Qing thought she was calm, certain that Wen Ning would find her, even with her strong character, she couldn't stop shaking.

  Wen Ning's heart ached, and he cradled her in his arms, rocking her like a child, comforting her until their heartbeats were perfectly aligned. Only then did Fang Qing regain her voice.

  "Brother, I'm fine, but my coat..."

  Fang Qing's coat was torn at one corner and was thrown in the corner. Wen Ning looked at the coat, his eyes gradually becoming vicious.

  Suddenly, there was another knock on the door. It was Ah Cheng who reminded him outside the door, "Teacher Wen, you can come out now."

  Wen Ning opened the door and saw the coat in Qiu Yulin's hand. He nodded and thanked him. He went back to the house and wrapped Fang Qing from head to toe, then carried him out of the house.

  The onlookers outside the door had dispersed. Ah Cheng saw Fang Qing took off his hat and looked normal, so he breathed a sigh of relief. "What are you going to do with this man?"

  Wen Ning glanced at the man in the corner. The man was now bruised and swollen, and his original face could not be seen at all. Fang Qing bit his lip and said nothing. This matter was really not easy to deal with.

  If they sent the man to the police station, her kidnapping would become public knowledge, and who knew how it would spread. But if they let it go, she felt a little reluctant, especially since she still didn't know why the man had kidnapped her...

  Qiu Yulin watched coldly, sensing the dilemma. He and Wen Ning stepped aside and discussed the matter for a long time.

  Although it was their first meeting, the two men chatted smoothly, and they quickly agreed on a solution.

  Wen Ning shook Qiu Yulin's hand, somewhat puzzled. "Mr. Qiu, why are you helping us?"

  Qiu Yulin smiled gently. "It's just a small favor, not a favor. Just think of it as me trying to make a good impression..." Wen Ning

  and Fang Qing stayed at the Meng family's house for two days, until the blue mark on Fang Qing's wrist faded, and then they returned to school.

  A few days later, Fang Qing inquired and learned from Wen Ning how the matter had been handled.

  Qiu Yulin called the police, accusing the man of theft. Soon, the man, unable to withstand interrogation, revealed the mastermind behind the incident.

  Mr. Qiu knew who it was, but the man was powerful and too powerful for them to handle.

  Over the phone, he could only sigh and counsel Wen Ning, "Even if you expose this, it will be suppressed. Ultimately, it won't have any effect and will only infuriate the other party. That won't do either of you any good..."

  Although Mr. Qiu finally said that, for his sake, the man promised not to harass Fang Qing again, Wen Ning still felt a pang of frustration.

  "Thank you, Mr. Qiu, for your concern about this matter."

  But facing Fang Qing, Wen Ning could only give him the official explanation.

  Fang Qing stared at Wen Ning in disbelief. "So, that man was just using me as a vengeance because I look like his ex-girlfriend?" That was too outrageous.
  So, she was truly unlucky.
  Wen Ning pulled the agitated Fang Qing to sit down and finally calmed her down. "I was careless. We'll try to be more careful next time."

  Fang Qing thought it was just her bad luck that had caused her to encounter this kind of thing, and apart from lamenting her own bad luck, she didn't think much of it.

  But Wen Ning privately found Liu Sisi and sternly warned her.

  "Don't think I don't know what you've done. My patience has its limits. If you dare to do this again, Liu Sisi, don't blame me for disregarding our classmate's feelings."

  Liu Sisi came to see Wen Ning excitedly, but was frightened by the gloomy and fierce look on his face. She had never seen Wen Ning so terrifying, and from then on, she didn't dare to provoke the two of them, but she never gave up on him.

  Liu Sisi was silent for a while, and even refused Bai Ying's invitation.

  Bai Ying listened to Liu Sisi's uneasy voice on the other end of the phone and curled her lips in disdain.

  The last time she and Liu Sisi had hired someone to take care of Fang Qing, they'd thought

  it was a sure thing. To their surprise, the idiot was not only caught red-handed but also taken to the police station for a beating. She'd wanted to talk to Liu Sisi about how to proceed, but she'd been so timid, scared off by such a small incident.

  "You useless piece of shit! No wonder people look down on you!"

  Bai Ying downed her glass of red wine and slammed it to the ground, sending shattered glass scattering across the floor.

  She picked up a piece of glass and held it in her palm, watching the bright red blood dripping slowly down her palm, her eyes growing more excited.

  "Fang Qing, you're lucky this time, so many people came to your rescue. But next time, you might not be so lucky. We'll see."

  After this incident, Fang Qing, surrounded by Wen Ning and her classmates, slowly regained her former cheerfulness.

  She was deeply surprised by Qiu Yulin's help.

  Through Wen Ning, Fang Qing learned that Qiu Yulin had no ill intentions. He felt ashamed of his own wild assumptions about others, and at the same time, he became even more suspicious of Qiu's past.

  Because of this incident, the two gradually became familiar with each other. Occasionally, Qiu Yulin would invite them to participate in art exhibitions of his peers to exchange ideas and learn from each other. Fang Qing no longer had the initial resistance to this.

  Receiving another invitation, the two happily went, but unexpectedly ran into Zhang Han this time.

  Looking at Zhang Han standing next to Qiu Yulin, Fang Qing suddenly realized, "So you are Mr. Qiu's apprentice."
