2912 It Can't Happen Again

Men differed.

If a man understood you, he could understand everything you did. If not, he wouldn't understand what you were doing at all.

Because Gu Ning was very strong, Leng Shaoting normally didn't need to help her. He respected her, but he wouldn't hesitate to help her if she needed him.

Honestly, he was happy if Gu Ning needed him.

"Do you need me to help you with the investigation?" Gu Ning asked.

"Not now. Let the police do that. If they can't find anything, you can help me then," Chu Peihan replied. Although Gu Ning could easily find out the truth, Chu Peihan felt that she couldn't bother Gu Ning every time.

"Sure!" Gu Ning didn't insist.

She would help her friends when they needed her, but she wouldn't interfere in their affairs. Otherwise it would make her seem self-centered to always interfere in other people's business.

When Gu Ning and Chu Peihan arrived at the appointed restaurant, Han Chenglin called Chu Peihan. He hadn't finished his work yet, but someone told him that a man had splashed sulfuric acid on Chu Peihan.

Han Chenglin was furious. He was mad at the man and Chu Peihan as well. Why didn't she tell him?

However, he was more worried about Chu Peihan's condition.

Therefore, once Chu Peihan answered his call, he asked about her condition.

Chu Peihan told him that Gu Ning had already treated her so she was fine now, and would make a full recovery in two days.

Han Chenglin believed in Gu Ning's abilities, because he had seen her skills many times.

Han Chenglin was very grateful to Gu Ning, but he felt a little jealous too.

Chu Peihan turned to Gu Ning, instead of him, for help the moment she ran into trouble.

However, he understood that Gu Ning was more useful than him, so he was just slightly upset.

Nevertheless, no matter how unhappy he was, he had to tolerate it. If he said it aloud, Gu Ning might be offended. He wasn't dumb, andwould be fine after a while.

After making sure that Chu Peihan was fine, Han Chenglin burst out. "Chu Peihan, am I your boyfriend or not? Why didn't you tell me after it happened? I had to hear about it from someone else. What do you want to do?"

"I didn't want to bother you because you were at work," Chu Peihan said in a low voice. She wasn't wrong, but she felt a bit guilty.

"Don't you know that you're more important than work to me?" Han Chenglin asked.

In that instant, Chu Peihan felt extremely touched. It was precisely because of that that she felt a little guilty for not telling him.

"Alright, alright, don't be mad. I'm sorry. I promise I'll tell you next time." Chu Peihan said to appease Han Chenglin.

"Do you want it to happen again? It can't happen again," Han Chenglin exclaimed. He was scared when he heard that it had happened, so he would go crazy if it happened again.

"Fine, fine, it won't happen again," Chu Peihan said at once.

Han Chenglin stopped arguing with her. After all, Chu Peihan didn't tell him because she wanted to wait for him to finish his work first.

He cared about Chu Peihan a lot, so he was mad, and he immediately put pressure on the police and ordered them to find out the truth as soon as possible.

At this time, Han Chenglin had almost finished his work. Because he learned that Chu Peihan was fine and that Gu Ning would take care of her, he forced himself to calm down and didn't rush away to see Chu Peihan until he finished the last take.

Luckily, he was filming at the capital, or it wouldn't be very convenient.

No matter what, he would rush to see Chu Peihan now that such a terrible accident happened.

...

When Gu Ning and Chu Peihan arrived, everyone was present. Chu Peihan was late because of the accident, but it was only 6 pm.

Chu Peihan had called Shi Xiaoyue, Mu Ke, Yu Mixi, Song Miaoge, Zhang Zikai, and Baili Zongxue to come hang out.

They weren't just Gu Ning's friends anymore, they were also Chu Peihan and the others' friends. Therefore, they didn't need to invite each other to meet up through Gu Ning.

In other words, they were very close now, so they met often.

When they saw the bandages on Chu Peihan's arm, they were scared and asked what happened.

Chu Peihan gave a sigh first. She decided to be honest with them, so she said, "I just left my house and went into the parking lot, but a man suddenly splashed sulfuric acid on me. He aimed at my face, but luckily I covered my face with my arm. My arm was burned, but Ningning helped me treat the wound. I'm fine now, and it should heal in two days."

Hearing that, everyone was mad.

"What? How could he do that? He's so hateful!"

"Right, he should go to hell."

"What happened next? Why did the man splash sulfuric acid on you?"

There had to be a reason for that, and they were sure that it couldn't be Chu Peihan's fault.

"The police took him away. They need some time to find out the reason," Chu Peihan replied.

"Is it possible that an actress is jealous of you or has a grudge against you, so she paid the man to hurt you?" Shi Xiaoyue guessed.

"It's possible. He could also be an actress' crazy fan. In order to please his idol, he hurt Peihan," Song Miaoge chimed in.

"I had the same idea, but I need to wait till the police find out the truth," Chu Peihan said.

"Why didn't you ask Ningning to help you? It should be quicker," Zhang Zikai said.

"I don't think it will be difficult to find out the truth, so I don't want to bother Ningning. If the police can't find out the truth, I'll turn to Ningning for help then," Chu Peihan replied.

"Alright." Zhang Zikai answered.

"Oh, does my cousin know?" Shi Xiaoyue asked.

"Yes," Chu Peihan said.

After that, they dropped the topic and began to order.

Han Chenglin arrived while they were eating.

Because Han Chenglin knew they were meeting there, he directly went to the private room once he arrived.

As soon as Han Chenglin walked in, he checked on Chu Peihan's body and asked her whether she felt uncomfortable anywhere.
