Speaking of which, Chen Feng’s experience in love was far inferior to his. Before getting married, Chen Feng hadn’t seriously dated anyone in college; at most, he had so ambiguous relationships and casual et-ups. It wasn’t until he t Shen Lin that he had a proper relationship, which eventually led to marriage.
However, as the saying goes, "the onlooker sees more clearly than the involved." Even though Qin Zhen had a wealth of experience, being tangled up in his current relationship made it difficult for him to decide to break up with Ning Wei.
That’s why he invited Chen Feng out for drinks, trying to get so advice or encouragent from him.
Unfortunately, although Chen Feng’s advice was decent, it wasn’t what he wanted, and there was no encouragent at all.
After listening, Qin Zhen could only nod silently and continued drinking in silence, not even touching the skewers.
Chen Feng didn’t bother with him either, just continued eating skewers and drinking.
It wasn’t until he finished almost the entire plate, leaving only a few skewers of grilled cauliflower, that he paused and used a napkin to wipe his mouth.
"How about it? Feeling any better? If you’re almost done, let’s head back."
Qin Zhen shook his head and looked at him, saying, "I’m really jealous of you, man. After your divorce, your life is just too carefree."
Chen Feng laughed, "You’re right to be jealous of . But you’re doing pretty well yourself. You’re young and already a deputy director. Your starting point is really high, and the future is limitless. I’ll probably need your protection in the future."
Qin Zhen gave a bitter smile, "My prospects do look good. But after all, I joined through a transition, it’s not so easy to advance further. And there are all these rules and constraints. How can I be as carefree as you, living in a villa with a woman?"
"If you envy , just quit. With your skills, can’t you live a carefree life?"
"Screw you. You know my greatest wish is to serve the country, uphold justice..."
"Alright, alright, I’ll pretend I didn’t say anything." Chen Feng quickly interrupted him and changed the subject, "I think you don’t need to look so downcast, acting all sentintal. Do I not know your true playboy nature? It’s not easy for you to settle down and co clean. My suggestion to you is, if you truly feel incompatible with Ning Wei, then perhaps it’s best for both of you to take a break, giving each other so space and ti to reflect."
Hearing this, Qin Zhen’s expression finally improved, and he smiled, saying, "Why didn’t you co up with this suggestion earlier?"
Chen Feng rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Dostic affairs are difficult to judge impartially, you know that? The most avoidable thing in a relationship is for friends and relatives to intervene thoughtlessly. These matters bring trouble without any benefit to outsiders. If I didn’t feel sorry for you, I wouldn’t have given this advice."
Qin Zhen gave an awkward smile, "I definitely won’t bla you."
Chen Feng said with a serious face, "Ning Wei would surely bla if she finds out."
Qin Zhen shook his head and said, "She definitely won’t bla you, or she wouldn’t dare. You are a major bank client that she personally brought in. She’s nervous about you. If you get angry and withdraw your money, she’ll have to beg you."
Listening to this, Chen Feng felt a bit embarrassed. No matter what, Ning Wei is still his girlfriend now.
Putting himself in that position, would you feel comfortable if your girlfriend was flattering another man?
Chen Feng didn’t want there to be any discomfort between him and Qin Zhen, so he ca straight out and said, "From what you just said, why does it sound so bitter to ? Originally, I went to her bank to open an account and deposit money entirely for your sake. If you think it’s inappropriate, I can cancel it right away."
Qin Zhen felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Where’s the bitterness in my voice? I was just speaking factually. She wouldn’t dare do anything to you now."
"Alright, enough with the jealousy. She’s a bank’s account manager, and her job involves attracting deposits and lending. She hasn’t done anything out of line. You have to understand. Just like in your job, sotis you get busy, need to work overti, travel, and even face life risks, she also needs your understanding."
"So from what you’re saying, you’re still not suggesting I break up with her?"
"I’ve made it so clear. Don’t you understand? Why would I suggest you break up? Whether you break up or not is your own business, don’t ask , OK?"
Seeing Chen Feng getting a bit angry, Qin Zhen quickly gestured, "OK! OK! I’ll consider your opinion and take a break from her so we can both calm down."
Chen Feng warned him again, "Don’t say it was my suggestion. Don’t involve in your affairs."
"Got it. Really, let’s finish these two boxes of beer."
"I don’t have ti to keep drinking with you. You’ve had enough; do you really want to get drunk and make drag you back ho? You’re so big, I can’t carry you. Boss! Bill, please."
Chen Feng ignored the resentful look Qin Zhen gave him and simply called the boss over to settle the bill and then pulled him to leave.
Since both of them ca out for drinks, none of them drove, so they were waiting by the roadside for a taxi.
The night market here was bustling, and there were quite a few taxis passing by. They hadn’t been waiting long before a taxi drove up.
However, even though the "vacant" sign was lit, when they waved to stop it, the taxi drove right past.
Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but say angrily, "Qin, morize the license plate number. Tomorrow we’ll report him or even bring him into the station directly."
Qin Zhen, however, was quite considerate, not angry at all, and explained with a smile, "Maybe the driver was afraid that we, two n, might be drunk and either vomit in the car or beco rowdy."
As he finished speaking, they saw the taxi suddenly make a sharp turn, crash onto the curb, hit two tal garbage cans, and finally smash into an electric pole before stopping.
Whoa!
Both of them looked at this scene in shock. If they had gotten into the taxi just now, they might have been involved in the crash.
There were many others who were equally shocked, all turning their eyes toward the crashed taxi.
Not long after, the door on the passenger side opened, and a man got out, rushing towards them in a hurry.
Chen Feng and Qin Zhen exchanged a look, both sensing sothing was off.
In normal circumstances, when a car accident occurs, the first move would be to call the police or an ambulance, not to run away like this.
Due to his professional instincts, Qin Zhen was even more sensitive to this, and he focused sharply on the man.
This guy was clearly running out of luck. Out of four directions, he chose to run towards Qin Zhen and Chen Feng’s side.
So, the outco was determined from the start. Just as the man was about to run past them, Qin Zhen lunged forward like a tiger, tackling him to the ground.
"Don’t move! Police!"
