Gao Jianfei also lowered his voice. "I'll hire a lawyer. I'll make sure they stay in there for life!"
"Uh, Mr. Gao, it's nothing, no need to trouble you, I'll handle it," Zhou Chu quickly said.
He spoke in a low voice, so others couldn't hear him, but those two nouveau riche heard every single word!
"Bang!" The two nouveau riche men were instantly knocked unconscious!
"Take them away!" Zhou Chu commanded sternly. Several policemen supported the two nouveau riche men who had fainted on the ground and put them into a police car.
Afterwards, some police officers stayed behind to conduct a thorough inspection of the hotel. Gao Jianfei, on the other hand, put his arm around Qin Leshi and got into a police car.
Once in the police car, Gao Jianfei took off his trench coat and draped it over Qin Leshi, still holding her close, using his body heat to warm her.
Gao Jianfei took Qin Leshi's pulse and knew that Qin Leshi had been exposed to cold. If she did not receive timely treatment, she would probably suffer for a long time.
He immediately said to Zhou Chu, "Mr. Zhou, I won't be attending your gathering for now. Find me a hotel and get me a room. However, if you're still here later, I'll take care of my business and come over to have a late-night snack with you. Thank you for tonight, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Chu ordered the police officers to drive to a guesthouse in the capital's entertainment district. He smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, please don't stand on ceremony with me, this is just a small matter."
Gao Jianfei nodded, then casually said, "Those two guys just now, to be honest, life imprisonment seems a bit harsh, but I can say for sure that if we hadn't arrived in time, they would have gang-raped my friend! My friend is exceptionally gentle but strong-willed; if he had suffered such humiliation, he would have definitely killed someone. Therefore, life imprisonment is actually too lenient for those two guys."
Zhou Chu and the police officers in the car all nodded. If Gao Jianfei hadn't personally followed up on this matter today, Qin Leshi would probably really be dead!
The car drove to the *** Hall Guesthouse in Dongcheng District. In fact, this guesthouse was equivalent to a four-star hotel. What made it even better than a four-star hotel was its excellent environment, with lush vegetation, flowers everywhere, and a pleasant fragrance.
Zhou Chu made a phone call and arranged everything. Gao Jianfei then took Qin Leshi to room number 1 on the 4th floor of the guesthouse.
As Zhou Chu was leaving, Gao Jianfei said with a smile again, "Mr. Zhou, if Mr. Yamaguchi and Mr. Klose are interested, I'll join them for a late-night snack later."
Zhou Chu smiled and nodded, saying he would go over right away and convey Gao Jianfei's words to everyone.
On her way from the country inn to this guesthouse, Qin Leshi's cold and fever symptoms were getting worse, but her mind was becoming clearer and clearer!
She realized that Gao Jianfei had been holding her the whole way!
Moreover, the current situation is that she and Gao Jianfei came to book a hotel room!
Book a room?
Good heavens! This is the first time Qin Leshi has ever encountered such a situation! Growing up, she was raised in a family with very strict rules, and she was never allowed to go out too late or stay out all night! She had never stayed in a hotel before! Unexpectedly, Gao Jianfei brought her here to book a room!
Moreover, they were like a couple, embracing each other as they entered the room!
Qin Leshi's heart began to pound wildly! However, she didn't utter a word of objection, her face flushed with embarrassment, and followed Gao Jianfei into the room.
The room was spacious and clean. It was a single room with only one bed, and the bedspread, blankets, and pillows were all white, washed clean, and had a healthy fragrance.
Gao Jianfei helped Qin Leshi sit up on the bed, and then hurriedly turned on the heater and the water dispenser.
Qin Leshi, wrapped in Gao Jianfei's trench coat, felt the lingering warmth of his body on the fabric. Watching him bustling about in just a shirt, a sweet feeling welled up inside her. She felt that all the suffering she had endured that night had been worthwhile! Being a well-educated girl, she asked with concern, "Jianfei, you...you can wear this coat. Are you cold? Your competition is the day after tomorrow, you...you mustn't catch a cold...be careful it doesn't affect your performance..."
"I'm fine!" Gao Jianfei said with a smile. He was joking; Gao Jianfei possessed profound internal strength, and even standing naked in the freezing snow, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit cold!
While he was busy, Gao Jianfei took off his mask and threw it away.
When Qin Leshi saw Gao Jianfei's handsome face, which often appeared in her memory, she was captivated and just stared blankly at him.
"Le Shi, you've been wronged tonight. Not only did you catch a cold, but you were also beaten by bad guys..." Gao Jianfei said to Qin Le Shi apologetically as he sat on the edge of the bed.
Qin Leshi withdrew her gaze from Gao Jianfei, embarrassed, and smiled, "It's nothing. It's all my own bad luck. My life experience is too shallow."
Although one side of her face was red and swollen, and her neck was swollen and frightening from being strangled, her smile was still incredibly charming, and her pure and beautiful appearance was undeniable.
As Gao Jianfei sat with Qin Leshi, he caught a whiff of the natural, alluring fragrance emanating from her body, and his heart was instantly stirred.
To be honest, before today, Gao Jianfei's feelings for Qin Leshi were purely friendship!
Although Qin Leshi is pure, kind, and beautiful, Gao Jianfei, having already married Chen Xian and Song Ying, has become much more immune to other women. He won't be like a novice who falls in love with every pretty girl he sees. Back in G Province, Qin Leshi took good care of Gao Jianfei, and the two had an ambiguous relationship that wasn't entirely intentional… a French kiss. But none of this was love.
However, tonight, when Gao Jianfei saw Qin Leshi emerge from the hotel looking as cold and pitiful as a quail, covered in bruises and with her pretty face red and swollen... in that instant, Gao Jianfei felt a strong urge to protect and care for Qin Leshi! In that instant, he even had an impulse to hold Qin Leshi in his arms and tenderly caress her!
Gao Jianfei couldn't figure out what kind of feelings these were either. However, now was clearly not the time to dwell on those things; he needed to quickly cure Qin Leshi's cold!
Of course, for Gao Jianfei now, there's no need to give Qin Leshi "medicine" or injections to treat these colds and fevers.
Meanwhile, Qin Leshi was still immersed in the dramatic events of the night, her narrow escape, and the many touching moments Gao Jianfei had brought her... Like a fairy tale, Gao Jianfei had descended from the sky and rescued her; Gao Jianfei had mobilized a large police force to find her! A huge undertaking! All the way, Gao Jianfei had taken off his own clothes to keep her warm and had been holding her close the whole time!
"Is this what it feels like to be with your boyfriend? Is this what it feels like to be in love?" Qin Leshi was lost in her own little world, thoroughly enjoying herself.
At this moment, Gao Jianfei was sitting next to her, and she felt only joy and contentment, asking for nothing more.
So much so that when Gao Jianfei said to Qin Leshi, "Leshi, I'll treat your cold for now," Qin Leshi was completely dazed and didn't hear what Gao Jianfei said clearly. It was as if Gao Jianfei's voice was as far away as the ends of the earth to her!
After Gao Jianfei finished speaking, he didn't hold back, since treating the illness was the priority. He gently took Qin Leshi's right hand!
"Hmm..." Qin Leshi didn't hear Gao Jianfei say anything about treating her illness, but she did feel Gao Jianfei holding her hand!
Her body trembled! A tremendous joy welled up in her heart!
She didn't know why Gao Jianfei was grabbing her hand!
Having never had her hand held by a man before, she didn't know how to pull her hand away. She just lowered her head and let Gao Jianfei hold her hand!
"Does Jianfei like me? He..."
Gao Jianfei held Qin Leshi's hand and massaged several acupoints on her palm, sending strands of pure internal energy directly into Qin Leshi's body, which had been eroded by the cold, through these acupoints. This warmed and nourished her internal organs, gradually expelling the cold.
Qin Leshi completely misunderstood! She only felt her hand being held by Gao Jianfei, her whole body was inexplicably warm, and her heart was filled with indescribable joy!
My cold is gradually getting better, and my whole body feels so happy that I feel like I can fly!
“Le Shi, actually, when you called me tonight, I was just surprised that you came to the capital, not that I disowned you as a friend! I really didn’t mean that. Although on the surface I seem to be very successful, wealthy, and have a high social status, in front of you, I’ve never changed, really.” Gao Jianfei held Qin Le Shi’s small hand, feeling that it was soft and boneless, with delicate and smooth skin. And so, Gao Jianfei began to explain.
Because of this preconceived notion, Qin Leshi believed that Gao Jianfei's words were a confession of his feelings for her! She felt like she was melting! Her body went limp, and she leaned her head against Gao Jianfei's shoulder, letting him hold her hand. She murmured, "Jianfei, I wasn't throwing a tantrum. It's just that my phone was dead. I'm really not a girl who likes to act cute."
Gao Jianfei assumed that Qin Leshi was feeling cold, so he used his own body to expel the cold. Therefore, he didn't say much and continued to channel his internal energy into her body to expel the cold.
After 20 minutes, wisps of cool air evaporated from Qin Leshi's pores, and Gao Jianfei knew that Qin Leshi's cold was completely gone!
After recovering from his cold, Gao Jianfei gently supported Qin Leshi's body, looking at her swollen cheeks with pity.
Upon seeing this, Gao Jianfei's anger flared up again. "Those two thugs went too far! His arm is so swollen!"
Qin Leshi's head was held close by Gao Jianfei, their faces very close. As Gao Jianfei spoke, his breath hit Qin Leshi's cheeks. She smelled the masculine scent coming from Gao Jianfei's side, and her heart was filled with indescribable excitement and nervousness.
"Le Shi, don't move, let me treat this for you." After Gao Jianfei finished speaking, he directly stroked Qin Le Shi's swollen cheek with his right hand. A trace of internal energy also seeped into the pore cells of the swollen muscle through the stroke of his right hand.
Qin Leshi was as obedient as a little lamb, closing her eyes and letting Gao Jianfei stroke her cheek.
In fact, Gao Jianfei used his internal energy to reduce Qin Leshi's swelling, but Qin Leshi didn't understand any of this. She thought that Gao Jianfei liked her and was "touching" her!
While gently touching Qin Leshi's cheeks, Gao Jianfei would occasionally touch her neck, which was red and swollen from being strangled. His movements were gentle, but he didn't skimp on the work at all. He channeled his inner strength into the pores of the swollen skin, repairing the bruises.
Qin Leshi felt a tingling sensation all over her body from Gao Jianfei's touch, her soul felt incredibly comfortable, but she also felt itchy, and her body instinctively wanted to avoid Gao Jianfei's caresses.
Gao Jianfei quickly said, "Le Shi, don't move. Be good, it'll be fine in a bit."
Hearing Gao Jianfei's words, Qin Leshi no longer dared to disobey. She closed her eyes tightly and leaned closer to Gao Jianfei. She thought to herself, Jianfei seems so honest, but he's not behaving properly now. He touched her hand, then her face and neck... What will he do next?
The thought of Gao Jianfei taking her to a hotel room, alone with him, made Qin Leshi's mind wander to that direction.
A question arose in her mind... "If Jianfei takes my body tonight, should I... should I give it to him?"
Although she liked Gao Jianfei, she had been raised with strict discipline and took matters of the heart very seriously, making it impossible for her to give herself to just any man. So, she finally came to a conclusion… “If Jianfei wants me, I’ll tell him I’m his, but tell him not to rush things; if he really can’t resist, then… then I’ll give myself to him!”
While Qin Leshi was lost in thought, Gao Jianfei had already used his internal energy to remove the redness and bruises on Qin Leshi's face and neck!
Everything is back to normal!
"Hehe, with internal energy and medical skills, everything is so simple!" Looking at Qin Leshi's delicate face, which was no longer red and swollen, Gao Jianfei felt proud.
"Okay, Yue Shi, it's done!" Gao Jianfei withdrew his hand and said with a smile.
Qin Leshi opened her eyes. Gao Jianfei laughed, "Leshi, look in the mirror!"
Qin Leshi obediently stood up, ran to the bathroom, turned on the light, and exclaimed joyfully, "Jianfei, I'm alright! That's amazing! How did you do that! My face doesn't hurt at all, and it's not swollen anymore! My neck doesn't hurt either!"
Just then, Tang Bao called again to urge him... "Nephew, what are you doing? I heard from Director Zhou that you took a woman to a hotel. Are you done yet? Come over for a drink when you're done!"
"Huh? You guys haven't left yet?" Gao Jianfei asked in surprise.
"Yeah, everyone's waiting for you! Haha! Everyone's been holding back their drinks, waiting for you! Come on over, come on over!" Tang Bao said repeatedly on the other end of the phone. Then he added, "Oh, it's my turn to play rock-paper-scissors with the Russians, let Feilong tell you!"
Then, Gao Jianfei heard Feilong answer the phone. Feilong said, "Jianfei, if you're free, come over. Everyone's having a great time here. Actually, we're all your supporters, and when we get together, we also take the opportunity to discuss some potential collaborations. Haha, thanks to you, I just finalized a cosmetics project with the Argentinians, a $100 million order every year! Haha! Come on, Jianfei!"
"Oh... I'm all set, I'll be right there!" Gao Jianfei asked where Feilong and the others were meeting, then hung up the phone.
Gao Jianfei knew that Feilong and his group hadn't left for two reasons: firstly, they were waiting for him to come over for a drink; secondly, this was a rare opportunity for them to get together and discuss business matters.
Gao Jianfei stood up. Just then, Qin Leshi came out of the restroom.
Gao Jianfei said, "Le Shi, it's safer for you to stay here, and the environment is very nice. You should take a shower and rest. I have a party to attend now."
"Um... Jianfei, can I go with you?" Qin Leshi was experiencing the taste of love for the first time (although it was a misunderstanding, to the unsuspecting Qin Leshi, this should be considered love). She wanted to be by Gao Jianfei's side all the time, not wanting to leave him for even a moment! This was the behavior of couples deeply in love! Therefore, she mustered up her courage and said to Gao Jianfei, "I'm still a little scared and don't want to be alone. Can I go with you? If it's inconvenient, then never mind, I'll just leave the TV on and sleep."
Chapter 431 The match begins!
Chapter 431 The match begins!
Faced with Qin Leshi's soft pleading and earnest gaze, Gao Jianfei couldn't bring himself to refuse. Besides, tonight's events might indeed leave Qin Leshi with some psychological trauma, and it was understandable that she was afraid of being alone.
Therefore, Gao Jianfei smiled and said, "Alright, Yue Shi, come with me. I'll also introduce you to some friends."
So the two closed the door and left the guesthouse.
The place where Tang Bao and Yamaguchi Haruka were gathering was not far from the *** Hall Guesthouse. It was a hotel, and they had booked an entire floor, where they were having a late-night snack, drinking, and chatting. It seemed quite lively.
Gao Jianfei hadn't seen Yamaguchi Harumo and his international friends for a long time. Last time, during the match draw with Feng Haoyu, it was thanks to Yamaguchi Harumo's reminder and his helpful assistance in finding a hacker for Gao Jianfei that he was able to avoid a complete defeat in the match against Feng Haoyu! It wouldn't be as relaxed and leisurely as it is today. To be honest, Gao Jianfei also wanted to have a drink with Yamaguchi Harumo and the others to thank them in person.
Gao Jianfei and Qin Leshi walked down the street. It wasn't actually late, only a little past 10 pm. The street was brightly lit with neon lights, and there were quite a few pedestrians; it was very lively. Several couples brushed past Gao Jianfei and Qin Leshi, all holding hands, arm in arm, or embracing affectionately.
Gao Jianfei and Qin Leshi simply walked separately without any intimate gestures.
Gao Jianfei was only wearing a shirt. Qin Leshi was wearing Gao Jianfei's trench coat.
In fact, Qin Leshi really wanted to be led by Gao Jianfei's hand, but it seemed that Gao Jianfei didn't have that idea and just walked alongside Qin Leshi casually.
Qin Leshi was, after all, a girl. Although she was currently in the throes of new love and was bolder than usual, she still didn't dare to take Gao Jianfei's hand. She simply made a suggestive gesture... moving her body towards Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei thought Qin Leshi was still cold, so he shook his head and chuckled. He put his right arm around Qin Leshi and gently pulled her into his arms, asking, "Leshi, are you not cold now? The hotel is still a few minutes away. Hang in there, once we get to the hotel, there will be heating, and you'll be perfectly fine."
"Mmm!" Qin Leshi felt very happy being embraced by Gao Jianfei. She felt that tonight was the happiest time of her life. She saw some couples embracing and hugging, so she awkwardly wrapped her arms around Gao Jianfei's waist as well. Then, blushing, she lowered her head and walked.
Gao Jianfei's heart fluttered as he touched Qin Leshi's supple waist muscles. To be honest, their interaction was already quite intimate! Gao Jianfei should have refused, but the image of Qin Leshi shivering from the cold after being beaten that evening kept haunting him, and he just wanted to protect her! Therefore, he disregarded the intimacy and acted accordingly!
The two arrived at the hotel, where the hotel staff immediately recognized Gao Jianfei. A group of staff rushed over and surrounded Gao Jianfei, asking for autographs and taking photos with him, which Gao Jianfei obliged.
However, when a waiter tried to take a picture of Qin Leshi, Gao Jianfei stopped him almost rudely.
