It's already eleven o'clock at night.

Long Junye originally wanted to have a good dinner with Qiao Xi in the evening to celebrate the feeling in his legs, but she left him aside with a word "I have an appointment with someone else" and he hasn't come back yet.

Since he didn't have to go to work tomorrow, Long Junye was not in a hurry to go to bed. He went downstairs and sat in the yard. He called her several times, but she didn't answer. It was so late, he was a little worried.

She just said she was going out to eat in the evening, and she didn't say she wouldn't come back to sleep. Besides, he still needed acupuncture, so there was no way she wouldn't come back.

"Jun Ye, why haven't you slept yet so late?" Shen Ruyue went back to the room and made a pot of flower tea. "Are you worried about something? How is your leg?"

Long Junye frowned slightly, not really wanting to chat with her, "You go to sleep first, I'll wait for Qiao Xi."

"The young lady hasn't come back yet?" Shen Ruyue felt jealous. How much did Long Junye like Qiao Xi that he even ran to the yard to wait for her.

"She has something to do tonight, so you go to sleep and don't worry about me." Long Junye still wanted to celebrate with Qiao Xi, even if it was just for a midnight snack.

Seeing that the other person didn't want to chat with her, Shen Ruyue had to go back into the house reluctantly.

Long Junye sat for a while and walked towards the flower bed. This time he had some experience and did not fall into the water while picking roses. He picked nine roses in total.

He felt that it was about time, so he went back to the yard and put it on the table. There was a hint of floral scent in the air, and he took a deep breath, feeling much more comfortable.

Thinking that she would be back soon, I called to order some takeout. It was different from the last time I ate in the yard, including crayfish, grilled skewers, and seafood porridge.

She hasn't come back yet even after the takeaway was delivered.

Long Junye was bored, so he started to peel crayfish. He had never waited for someone for so long before, and he was almost losing his patience, looking towards the gate of the yard from time to time.

It was already twelve o'clock, and he had peeled a bowl of crayfish tails.

Finally, the sound of an engine was heard outside the door.

Long Junye was looking forward to it, never before had he been looking forward to someone's appearance as much as he was now.

Fortunately, the gate opened, and Qiao Xi drove slowly in. After leaving the abandoned warehouse with Tang Jin, she called Chu Lan to go out for some midnight snack, analyzed Fang Hongwei's reaction tonight, and then drove back.

She thought Long Junye had already fallen asleep. After getting off the car, she saw him sitting in the yard with roses and midnight snacks on the table. "You're still awake?"

"Where have you been? Why didn't you answer the phone?" All of Long Junye's anxiety disappeared the moment he saw her.

Qiao Xi took out her phone and found several missed calls. "I muted it and didn't notice it. Why did you order so much food?"

"Please sit down." Long Junye placed the box of peeled crayfish tails in front of her. "I thought you might be hungry so late, so I ordered some takeout. Come and eat."

Qiao Xi wasn't hungry at all. She had just eaten and was still a little full, but the shrimp had already been peeled, so she couldn't ignore the shrimp and put them into her mouth one by one. "They're delicious. Did you peel them for a long time?"

"Not long, of course, not as fast as you." Long Junye scooped another bowl of porridge for her, "Drink some porridge. Did you go to the Night Palace? Did you play so late?"

Qiao Xi had to find an excuse, "Yes, Chu Lan was in a bad mood, so I accompanied her to play for a while and didn't drink."

"If you're going to come back so late in the future, please tell me in advance." Long Junye was not blaming her, he was just a little worried. He was not used to not seeing her when he came back.

"Okay." Qiao Xi couldn't let him down, so she ate all the shrimp tails he peeled and drank some porridge. She couldn't eat any more grilled skewers.

He was still peeling shrimps, and when he saw that she was having a bit of trouble eating, he smiled and asked, "Are you full?"

Qiao Xi nodded, "After having supper tonight."

Long Junye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're still forcing yourself to eat after having supper?"

Qiao Xi, "Of course, you've already peeled them for me. If I don't eat them, wouldn't it be a waste of your kindness? Besides, the shrimp tails you peeled are more delicious, really."

Long Junye took off his gloves, wiped his hands, and touched her head. "Silly girl, don't force yourself if you can't eat." He poured her a cup of tea and said, "Drink some tea to help digestion."

Qiao Xi drank a sip of tea and felt a little full, "I'll go for a walk."

She stood up and walked beside him, "How's your leg? Does it still hurt?"

"It hurts a little bit sometimes, but it's not unbearable." Long Junye pinched his thigh, "I don't feel anything now."

"Don't be impatient, take your time," Qiao Xi pulled a chair over and sat next to him, pinching his leg, "In fact, it has achieved better results than I thought."

Long Junye, "Do you still need acupuncture tonight?"

"We had acupuncture in the morning, so we don't have to do it in the evening. It's already so late, let's do it tomorrow." Qiao Xi cleaned up the table, threw the garbage into the trash can outside the yard, then pushed him back to the room, not forgetting to pick up the roses he picked.

The roses he picked last time were about to wilt, so it was a good time to replace them with these.

Long Junye lay down on the bed, "You don't have anything to do tomorrow, right? Do you want to go out and have some fun? I'll go with you."

Of course Qiao Xi wanted to play with him, but she had things to do tomorrow. "Tomorrow is not free, how about the day after tomorrow?"

Long Junye was puzzled, "Why have you become so busy?"

"I'll be busy these two days, not on other days." Qiao Xi took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

……

In the afternoon, Qiao Xi and Tang Jin went to Chu Lan's guest room.

Chu Lan was a little nervous, "Should we call them now?"

Qiao Xi glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time, let's fight."

Tang Jin opened an app on his mobile phone, turned on the voice changer and recording, and then dialed Fang Hongwei's number.

Fang Hongwei and Yue Mingzhu were in Zizhulin Teahouse, waiting for their call.

Yue Mingzhu was stunned for a moment. The caller ID showed a string of garbled characters. "Is it that person?"

"It's possible. This call was made using a special software." Fang Hongwei turned on the speakerphone and said "hello" softly. In order to prevent any future trouble, he also used a voice changer.

Tang Jin calmed down and said, "How about it, have you considered the conditions I told you last night?"

Fang Hongwei, "You use some trumped-up charges to threaten me, do you think I'm so easy to bully?"

"Really? Then there's nothing to talk about. I'll hand the evidence over to the police," Tang Jin said slowly. "By the way, give another copy to the media, and also post another copy online, so that everyone knows how much injustice Qiao Jinnian and his wife suffered back then, and also let everyone know how many dirty things the famous Long family has done!"

"And you, Fang Hongwei, have always pretended to be a good person, but in fact, you are more cruel and ruthless than anyone else!"

If she just handed it over to the police, Yue Mingzhu might be able to get them to not believe it, but once it was made public to the media or posted on a website, wouldn't the good reputation she had accumulated over the years be...
