Just as she was about to go out, Xi Nanlin was stopped by Butler Liu.
"Madam, Master Fu has said that he cannot let you out casually."
Fu Yanzhou was really thoughtful... Xi Nanlin complained silently.
She lied and said, "I'll send something to Mr. Fu and I'll be back soon."
The Fu Group is not far from here, and they will come back quickly when they are discovered.
When the housekeeper heard that it was related to Fu Yanzhou, he let him go without asking any more questions.
Xi Nanlin planned to come back early so that Fu Yanzhou would not find out.
She had been to Chen Xu's house. This time she was familiar with the road and drove to the other party's downstairs in half an hour.
Xi Nanlin found the building number based on her memory. There was a locked red door with messy garbage placed at the door. Xi Nanlin looked at it carefully for a while.
Inside the garbage bag were fast food boxes for two people.
There must be someone inside, and it's not just Chen Xu. Cao Cheng is probably also there.
Xi Nanlin was about to knock on the door when she suddenly heard a quarrel inside.
Before she could think about it, the sounds of various things breaking to the ground were heard, followed by women's cries and men's roars.
Xi Nanlin could tell that it was Chen Xu's voice.
Was she beaten?
Xi Nanlin's heart sank and she immediately knocked on the door.
"Hello, Ms. Chen's express delivery has arrived. Please sign for it."
The door was slowly opened. Chen Xu opened the door carefully and came out. When he saw Xi Nanlin's familiar face, his pupils dilated and he looked shocked.
At this time, Xi Nanlin also clearly saw the injuries on her face.
Chen Xu blushed on one side and showed signs of swelling. It looked like he had just been beaten.
Chen Xu was a little panicked, her eyes were evasive, and she didn't invite Xi Nanlin to sit in. She just stood at the door and asked, "Sister Lin, what can I do for you?"
What else can happen, isn't it just for her?
Seeing Chen Xu's evasive attitude, Xi Nanlin's heart dropped.
She asked her out loud: "Were you beaten? Where is Cao Cheng? Let him come out. Does he know that this is illegal?"
Xi Nanlin's voice was loud enough for people inside to hear. When Chen Xu anxiously covered Xi Nanlin's mouth, Cao Cheng had already come out.
He stood idly, leaning against the door, with the remnants of the chicken leg he had just finished eating around his mouth.
"Yes, she was beaten. What can you do to me?"
Cao Cheng looked indifferent and continued: "Isn't all this due to her own fault? I got up at eight o'clock and she hasn't made breakfast yet. Shouldn't she be beaten?"
The way he admitted to the Lord generously was as if he was showing off. Xi Nanlin frowned. It was hard to imagine what kind of life Chen Xu was living these days.
A bold guess emerged in Xi Nanlin's mind, and her eyes were a bit probing.
"Are those express delivery items I received from you?"
Surprisingly, Cao Cheng was not angry at being exposed, but looked at Xi Nanlin with a smile.
"You finally discovered it."
Sure enough, it was Cao Cheng. He guessed it was him, but he didn't expect him to agree so simply, and in the same extremely proud tone as before.
Xi Nanlin regretted not recording in advance.
Then, even more shocking words came out of Cao Cheng's mouth.
"Aren't you women all the same? You are all the playthings of our men."
"What man would like a competitive woman like you?"
What is this nonsense? He actually treated Chen Xu as a plaything!
Xi Nanlin couldn't hold back, raised her hand, and a clear slap fell on Cao Cheng's face, and Cao Cheng didn't react at all.
Chen Xu took a deep breath and protected Xi Nanlin behind her.
After reacting, Cao Cheng was furious and rushed to hit Xi Nanlin, but Chen Xu stopped her.
Chen Xu was stuck between the two of them, and Cao Cheng couldn't hit anyone. In the middle, he vented his anger on Xi Nanlin, who had other scars on her body.
Xi Nanlin took a breath, turned on the video on her phone, and said in a cold tone: "Are you sure you want to hit someone again? I've already started recording."
"This is all evidence."
Cao Cheng made a move, his face looked very ugly, and he lowered his head and let out a silent sigh.
"What bad luck!"
He closed the door hard and locked the two people out. After a loud bang, the air became completely quiet.
Chen Xu's body completely softened and she squatted helplessly on the side. Xi Nanlin lowered her body to accompany her.
After a while, Xi Nanlin took her to a nearby hospital to treat her wounds, and then took her to a cafe.
Ordering a cup of hot cocoa, while waiting, Xi Nanlin said with a solemn face: "Aren't you going to break up now? If this continues, what should you do?"
From what he said just now, it is not difficult to see that Cao Cheng not only has violent tendencies, but also has problems with his whole outlook on life. Chen Xu has been tortured by him to the point of being out of shape.
When the word breakup was mentioned, Chen Xu's eyes became erratic.
She hesitated and said: "I... Ah Cheng said that he couldn't control his temper and would apologize to me afterwards."
"He's not bad by nature."
You have already said that women are playthings, but your nature is not bad? Xi Nanlin suddenly realized that Chen Xu was a complete love brain.
No matter how much others persuade you to fall in love, it is useless.
Xi Nanlin breathed a long sigh of relief, took her hand, pinched the wound, and Chen Xu made a sound of pain.
"Do you feel it? This is the pain he caused you."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Xu's face, but there was no change, and Chen Xu still couldn't give up.
Xi Nanlin knew the result, and she probably couldn't persuade her anymore.
After the coffee was served, Xi Nanlin specifically asked Chen Xu some things. Since she couldn't persuade people to leave Cao Cheng, she could only give him some ways to protect himself.
"If he hits you again in the future, secretly take some evidence and send it to me."
It would be easier for her to call the police then.
Chen Xutao nodded lightly, looked at the time, stood up and whispered, "It's time for me to go back. Acheng will be unhappy after being out for so long."
Xi Nanlin frowned and nodded. She had never felt so helpless before. Chen Xu seemed to be a terminally ill person who could not be saved by anyone.
Because of Chen Xu's matter, she was delayed for a long time. When she returned, Fu Yanzhou was already waiting in the living room.
When Xi Nanlin pushed the door open and walked in, she happened to meet Fu Yanzhou's dark eyes, and she took a step back with a guilty conscience.
"Is it fun outside?"
Fu Yanzhou's tone was cold and chilly.
It's not like he won't let her go out, but when she goes out, she should at least tell him to find someone to follow her, and just run around recklessly by herself.
Moreover, he made so many calls, but Xi Nanlin didn't answer any of them, which made him think that something was wrong, so he had people look around.
It was only now that I saw you coming back that I felt completely at ease.
Xi Nanlin took out her mobile phone from her bag and found that it had been turned off at some point.
She carefully sat down on the side and explained: "I was worried about Chen Xu and was very anxious, so I didn't tell you."
