Siheyuan: A young man starts a game and ignores the law

"Jingru, have you encountered any strange people or situations before?" Su Ming asked, trying to find out the source of the incident.

Qin Jingru thought about it and shook her head. "In fact, business has been going smoothly recently, and nothing special has happened. These calls and text messages started all of a sudden, and I'm a little confused."

"It seems that this matter is indeed a bit strange." Su Ming frowned, "However, we must first ensure your safety. Have you ever thought about temporarily closing the store or reducing going out?"

Qin Jingru shook her head. "I don't want to close the business because of this. It's not good for the business. Besides, I don't think running away is the solution to the problem."

Su Ming nodded, understanding Qin Jingru's thoughts. They fell into silence. In the dark night, Su Ming thought hard about how to deal with it. He clearly realized that there was no emotional relationship between him and Qin Jingru, but as a friend, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

Finally, Su Ming said, "Jingru, I know there is no relationship between us, and I have no right to interfere in your private life. However, as a friend, I cannot ignore it. I will do my best to help you find out these things and ensure your safety."

Qin Jingru listened to Su Ming's words and looked at him gratefully. "Thank you, Su Ming. I really appreciate you standing up at this time."

Su Ming smiled and said, "You're welcome. We are all friends."

The car was driving on the street, and they were talking cautiously along the way. Qin Jingru contacted the store staff on the phone and told her that they were not needed for the time being and that she would handle the store's affairs herself.

After returning to Qin Jingru's residence, Su Ming stayed to spend the night with her. They talked about some light topics, trying their best to distract Qin Jingru and let her forget her troubles for a while.

"I will find some friends tomorrow to see if they can help investigate." Su Ming said, "Maybe we can find some clues."

Qin Jingru nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help."

It was late at night and Qin Jingru was already a little tired. She walked to the guest room and made a bed for Su Ming.

"You rest here for one night, and we'll think of a solution together tomorrow." Qin Jingru said gently.

Su Ming looked at her gratefully, "Thank you, Jingru. I will do my best."

They smiled at each other and then went back to their rooms. Su Ming lay on the bed, his mind racing. Although there was no emotional connection between him and Qin Jingru, he was determined to protect his friend and help her out of her predicament.

The next day, Su Ming got up early and discussed some possible investigation plans with Qin Jingru. They decided to start with Qin Jingru's business relationships and social circles to see if they could find any clues.

Su Ming had an idea in his mind, he wanted to go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. In his heart, Beijing was his hometown, and the New Year was a time for family reunion. This desire quietly rose in his heart.

"Jingru, I want to go back to Beijing for the New Year." Su Ming said to Qin Jingru frankly.

Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is a good idea. We should reunite with our family during the Chinese New Year."

"Yes, I haven't been back for a long time. I miss my family and the New Year atmosphere in Beijing." Su Ming said with emotion.

Qin Jingru patted Su Ming's shoulder and said, "Then you can go back. I will take care of the store myself during this time."

"Thank you, Jingru." Su Ming smiled, "I will try to take care of some things as soon as possible and then arrange a return trip."

Su Ming decided to go back to Beijing as soon as possible. He contacted his parents and told them that he was going to go home for the New Year. His parents were very happy to hear the news and told him to be careful and buy tickets in advance to arrange the trip.

On the eve of returning to Beijing, Su Ming met with Qin Jingru again to discuss the matter. He felt that he had to tell her his decision, after all, they had some common business relationship.

"Jingru, I plan to go back to Beijing tomorrow." Su Ming said frankly, "I want to take advantage of the New Year holiday to go home and visit."

Qin Jingru looked a little disappointed after hearing this, but soon smiled again, "Then you must enjoy the time of family reunion."

"Of course, but I'm also worried that you won't be able to handle it all by yourself during this period of time." Su Ming said with concern, "If there's anything I can help with, just let me know."

Qin Jingru shook her head. "It's okay. I'll make arrangements. Just go ahead."

Su Ming nodded, and he had more confidence in Qin Jingru's ability and tenacity. They continued to discuss some store matters to ensure that everything would go smoothly while he was away.

The next morning, Su Ming packed his luggage and prepared to leave. He met Qin Jingru in the store, which was already busy with customers.

"Jingru, I'm leaving first." Su Ming said goodbye to Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru smiled and nodded, "Have a good trip, go home and have a good rest."

Su Ming and Qin Jingru shook hands and said goodbye, then set off on their journey home. The car slowly drove out of the city and headed towards the train station.

At the same time, Jia Shifa was a little worried about Qin Jingru's recent situation. He felt that his daughter looked a little tired recently, and her cell phone was always ringing. Jia Shifa was a pragmatic businessman and was very concerned about his daughter's business.

One night, Jia Shifa invited Yan Jiedi to dinner. At the table, he finally asked, "Xiao Di, how is Jingru's business going recently? She looks a little tired."

Yan Jiedi knew her father's concerns, so she said frankly, "Dad, Jingru has been very busy recently. Business in the store is good, but she is also a little tired."

Jia Shifa frowned, "Has she encountered any difficulties or troubles recently?"

Yan Jiedi hesitated for a moment and decided to tell her father the truth. "Dad, Jingru has received some strange calls and text messages recently, and the content seems a little bad."

Jia Shifa's brows furrowed even more tightly. "What phone call and text message? Did you explain what they meant?"

Yan Jiedi told her father in detail about the phone calls and text messages Jingru received. After hearing this, Jia Shifa's face suddenly became solemn.

"This matter is not simple." Jia Shifa took a deep breath, "You have to help Jingru pay more attention and see if you can find any clues."

Yan Jie Di nodded, "I will, Dad. I also think there is something wrong with this matter."

Jia Shifa pondered for a while, then said, "I will arrange for someone to investigate and see if we can find out the other party's identity and intentions."

After dinner, Yan Jiedi sighed, "Dad, I actually think Jingru's friend Su Ming might be able to help."

Jia Shifa raised his eyebrows, "Su Ming? The fashion designer?"
