Free Web NovelChapter 567: Chapter 259: Finally Came in Handy—It’s Not Easy Being a Mentor (2)
The photographing and evidence collection, the questioning, all had ended. The case wasn’t complicated, and they soon left.
Li Jingsheng took Han Siying back to the dormitory.
"Please take care of Siying. If anything happens, have her call me. That man seems seriously injured and probably won’t harass you again soon, but be careful once he recovers and seeks revenge. If you find a suitable place, move out as soon as possible."
The most he could do was to remind them.
The three young girls were all inexperienced and had no idea how treacherous the world could be.
"Well... Siying seems to trust and rely on you a lot. Why don’t you take her to where you live?"
One of the roommates with a pointed chin said.
"Absolutely not. A man living with her, what are you thinking?"
Li Jingsheng understood the girl’s intention.
She might be afraid that Han Siying would get into trouble again, so she wanted to push the problem away.
People are selfish in the face of their own interests.
Han Siying was only a roommate to them.
They might have been friends in normal times, but after such a serious incident, the likelihood of them continuing to live together was very slim.
It’s likely that the two roommates wanted Han Siying to move out quickly.
Otherwise, when that guy recovers and is discharged, he might seek revenge on Han Siying, affecting them as collateral damage.
"Wasn’t she just hugging you? We’re all adults, so stop pretending!" The pointed chin girl said and then turned to Han Siying. "Siying, why don’t you pack up and move to your boss’s place! We’re preparing to return the house tomorrow and move out of here."
Li Jingsheng had underestimated today’s girls.
They were influenced by Western thoughts and relaxed about certain norms.
"Master, can I stay at your place?"
At this point, Han Siying probably had no mind of her own.
She was deeply terrified, and Li Jingsheng had always appeared strong in her mind.
She even trusted her roommate’s mischievous suggestion and genuinely intended to stay at Li Jingsheng’s place.
"Pack your things first! I will arrange a place for you to stay."
Li Jingsheng was also quite helpless.
"Thank you, master!"
Her eyes were still filled with tears, but she clearly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Li Jingsheng agree.
This had presented Li Jingsheng a real challenge.
The clinic only had three female employees, Meng Luo rented a place, though he didn’t know the details.
Tang Ping had her house, although it was old and not very spacious, but she owned a property.
Having Han Siying stay with her would certainly not be suitable.
Han Siying was in trouble now, and Tang Ping had her child. She dreaded such incidents the most.
During the Furuiduo Pharmacy opening, Tang Ping trembled with fear when a thug committed violence on the street.
Even when Boss Zhao was drunk, blocking her way and pestering her, he frightened her quite a bit.
She was pretty timid.
It was truly unmanageable.
Some women have a lot of courage; some have little.
Ask her to stay at Ou Qinglan’s place?
It was worth asking.
This matter definitely needed to be reported to his girlfriend.
He instantly walked out of the dormitory and onto the balcony to call Ou Qinglan.
The balcony railing wasn’t high. He wondered how that guy managed to fall?
Getting sprayed in the face with pepper spray must be excruciatingly painful.
He might have rolled backward in panic.
"Qinglan, are you resting?"
"Hmm."
She made a sound through her nose, lethargically, probably dozing off.
Now awakened by Li Jingsheng’s call.
"I need to discuss something with you. Han Siying was hugged from behind by a man when she was going home tonight. She used pepper spray to defend herself, causing the man to fall off the second floor. The police have finished questioning her, but she is very scared. Can she stay at your place for a night?"
"My place is really small. She can only sleep on the sofa or on the floor. If she’s okay with that, she can come over."
Ou Qinglan hesitated for a few seconds before replying.
"Let me ask her later. If it’s not feasible, I’ll book her a hotel room for the night."
Speaking with Ou Qinglan, Li Jingsheng didn’t need to be formal.
He spoke whatever was on his mind.
They weren’t married yet, but emotionally, they resembled a newlywed couple.
"Doesn’t your clinic have lots of empty rooms? Why not let her stay there?"
She casually asked, perhaps testing Li Jingsheng.
"The clinic only has me, a guy, so how would that look? Unless you also move in."
He rejected it sternly.
"Haha, seems you’re pretty old-fashioned. Fine, if she’s okay with sleeping on the couch, invite her here. Otherwise, get her a hotel room. She’s currently very afraid and might feel terrified staying alone."
Ou Qinglan indeed was testing him.
She was satisfied with Li Jingsheng’s response.
It made Li Jingsheng sweat, realizing that caution is essential when conversing with women. You never know when a trap might be set.
After about half an hour, Han Siying had packed her belongings.
Her two roommates warmly escorted her to the door, verbally expressing future contact, encouraging Han Siying not to be afraid, and other caring remarks. But from their expressions, it was clear that both had breathed a large sigh of relief.
Li Jingsheng asked Han Siying about her opinion while they took a taxi.
She agreed to stay at Ou Qinglan’s place and was okay with sleeping on the couch.
