Seeing the expression on Wang Zhiqing's face, Bing Tianyi felt that he had not misjudged this person.
Qin Qi, upon hearing this, looked at Wang Zhiqing and asked again, "So you're saying that what you described that day was indeed accurate?"
"Of course, this young brother risked himself to save me and Xia..."
Before Wang Zhiqing could finish his sentence, Qin Qi directly asked him, "Who is this Xia you mentioned?"
"It's Xia Rong," Wang Zhiqing replied straightforwardly.
"Remember to use full names from now on," Qin Qi said, then looked at Wang Zhiqing and added, "Continue."
Wang Zhiqing nodded in agreement and continued, "The situation back then was quite critical. If it weren't for Bing Tianyi, neither Xia nor I would be alive today."
"Alright, you can leave for now," Qin Qi waved at Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi was once again escorted out of the ward by two officers. Standing at the door, he felt somewhat uneasy despite Wang Zhiqing's earlier testimony on his behalf.
After about twenty minutes, Qin Qi exited the ward and glanced at Bing Tianyi before frowning and saying, "Wang Zhiqing has something to discuss with you."
Bing Tianyi nodded in acknowledgment and turned to enter the room. At this point, only Wang Zhiqing and Bing Tianyi remained in the room.
Seeing Bing Tianyi come in, Wang Zhiqing quickly smiled broadly and waved at him, saying, "Come over and sit down."
Bing Tianyi approached leisurely and sat by the bed, looking at Wang Zhiqing and asking, "Brother Wang, what is it?"
"Brother, there are some things I'm not sure whether to say or not, but since you saved my life and I have nothing to repay you with, I've decided to lend you a hand," Wang Zhiqing said seriously, looking at Bing Tianyi with earnestness.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi, filled with curiosity, asked Wang Zhiqing, "Brother Wang, I'm still a student; I doubt there's much you can help me with."
As soon as Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Wang Zhiqing waved his hand and smiled, "Brother, don't say that just yet. Let me finish my words."
Bing Tianyi nodded in agreement.
Wang Zhiqing sighed and quietly said to Bing Tianyi, "There’s a cigarette in the drawer next to you; could you bring me one?"
Bing Tianyi quickly retrieved a cigarette without thinking much and lit it before handing it to Wang Zhiqing.
Wang Zhiqing took a deep puff from the cigarette and murmured to Bing Tianyi, "You know the situation with the underground forces in our county: there are the Crows, Qiangzi, and Big Head. This time Big Head is already dead, and among his three subordinates—Goat, me, and Yan Debiao—both Yan Debiao and I are pretty much done for. However, if we go down, Goat will definitely be implicated. In that case, the forces in the west of the county will collapse instantly."
Just as Wang Zhiqing finished speaking, Bing Tianyi quickly interjected, "Big Brother, you don’t have much to do with this matter, right?"
Seeing the sincere expression on Bing Tianyi's face, Wang Zhiqing frowned and smiled bitterly. "Brother, in our line of work, who doesn’t have a few cases hanging over them? But I don’t have much to do with it; I’ll probably be in for three to five years at most. However, Yan Debiao and Goat are looking at life sentences."
"Is it really that serious?"
Wang Zhiqing replied candidly with a laugh, "Brother, that's just because you're not aware. That old rascal Yan Debiao has three lives on his hands; let's not even mention the others. Goat supplies two-thirds of the drugs in our county and surrounding areas. Just think about it—if they get investigated, do they even have a chance of surviving?"
Hearing this from Wang Zhiqing made Bing Tianyi realize how severe the situation was. He hadn’t expected so many violations of law and order to arise in such a small county.
After pondering for a moment, Bing Tianyi looked at Wang Zhiqing and asked, "Big Brother, what do you mean by that?"
"I'll be in the hospital for a while trying to find a few suitable brothers to assist you in taking over the West District. I know you have a good relationship with the Crows; if you run into any trouble later on, you can ask him for help. But remember this: never go looking for Qiangzi; that old rascal is a real smiling tiger who will stop at nothing."
"Do you want me to take charge of the West District and become the big brother of the West District?" Bing Tianyi asked, somewhat incredulously.
"Brother, do you think there are very few shops in the West District right now and that there's not much profit to be made?" Wang Zhiqing looked at Bing Tianyi with a helpless smile.
Seeing Wang Zhiqing say this, Bing Tianyi quickly explained, "Of course not. I know that the county town is currently developing westward on a large scale. In less than three years, the West District will be the main urban area of the county."
"Then why do you still have that expression?" Wang Zhiqing asked curiously.
Bing Tianyi candidly replied, "I just feel that at my age, and being a student, can I really achieve this?"
After hearing this, Wang Zhiqing looked at Bing Tianyi seriously and said, "Everything is done by people. Moreover, although I haven't known you for long, from our interactions during this time, I can see that despite your young age, your mental maturity has already reached that of a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old. As long as you make good use of your connections, I believe that not only can you become the big brother of the West District, but even the big brother of the entire county is completely possible."
After Wang Zhiqing finished speaking, Bing Tianyi lowered his head in silence.
As time passed, Wang Zhiqing looked at Bing Tianyi with some impatience and scolded him, "We're all young people. If you don't have the courage to handle this kind of thing, what big achievements do you expect to accomplish in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi directly raised his head to look at Wang Zhiqing and said, "Brother Wang, I can agree to this matter, but I want you to give me one person."
"Who?"
"Xia Rong."
"What? What can she help you with?" Wang Zhiqing looked at Bing Tianyi in surprise.
Bing Tianyi didn't think too much about it and replied directly to Wang Zhiqing, "Sister Xia understands the situation in the West District quite well. Besides, she is your girlfriend after all. As they say, one should consider the Buddha's face when dealing with a monk. Even if some brothers don't obey my orders later on, they will still listen to Sister Xia's commands."
Wang Zhiqing lay on the bed and after serious consideration looked at Bing Tianyi and said clearly, "Alright, I agree to this matter. However, I need to make it clear: if you dare to do anything disrespectful to Xia Rong without my knowledge, I definitely won't let you off when I find out."
Bing Tianyi heard this and quickly smiled, "Don't worry, I definitely won't."
Wang Zhiqing nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, you can go now. I'll have my men look for you another day."
Bing Tianyi agreed with a nod, stood up, and left. He returned to the police station with the other two officers, and it wasn't until the afternoon that Bing Tianyi was released.
When he got home, Bing Tianyi went to his parents' store. Seeing them busy, he immediately started to help out.
His father noticed the bruises on Bing Tianyi's face and hurriedly approached to ask what happened. After Bing Tianyi gave a few vague replies, his parents didn't press further and continued to focus on their business.
A few days of calm passed, and one day while Bing Tianyi was helping his parents in the kitchen, he unexpectedly heard a familiar female voice calling from the entrance.
Stepping out of the kitchen, Bing Tianyi was surprised to see Wang Ziyan standing before him.
Although he had once regarded her as a goddess, her status in Bing Tianyi's mind had shifted since returning to high school. She had transformed from an enemy into a goddess, then suddenly back into an enemy. Now that Bing Tianyi no longer wanted to deal with Wang Ziyan, she had actively appeared in front of him.
Seeing her, Bing Tianyi frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
"Do you have time right now? I want to talk to you," Wang Ziyan said softly as she looked at Bing Tianyi.
Without thinking twice, Bing Tianyi replied directly, "I'm busy right now; I don't have time."
With that, he turned around and walked back toward the kitchen. Meanwhile, Mother Bing also noticed Wang Ziyan at the entrance. Compared to Chen Qian, Mother Bing found this girl even more beautiful and graceful, just like those elegant ladies on television.
As an ordinary woman, seeing her son treat this girl so coldly made Mother Bing step forward and say directly to Bing Tianyi, "Alright, you go ahead and be busy; there's nothing much here."
Bing Tianyi looked helplessly at his mother, just as he was about to speak, when outside, Wang Ziyan quietly said, "Thank you, Aunt."
Bing Tianyi sighed and said softly to his mother, "Mom, have you forgotten about the day when the city management took our things while we were setting up a stall outside?"
Mother Bing smiled calmly and replied to Bing Tianyi, "What's wrong? Without that incident, could we have opened this shop?"
Hearing his mother's words, Bing Tianyi was completely speechless. With no other choice, he could only wash his oily hands, change his clothes, and head out.
When he reached Wang Ziyan, Bing Tianyi curiously asked, "What’s going on?"
"I want to talk to you," Wang Ziyan said, her face showing a look of grievance.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi found it hard to believe. Just think about it; Wang Ziyan had several hundred admirers in this school alone. How could she be like this now?
With that thought in mind, Bing Tianyi couldn't help but feel a bit schadenfreude as he looked at Wang Ziyan and asked, "What’s wrong? You seem unhappy. Oh, today isn’t the weekend, right? Why aren’t you at school?"
"Are you going or not?" Wang Ziyan stared at Bing Tianyi with her big watery eyes and asked unhappily.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi quickly nodded and smiled, "Of course I'm going. Where are we headed?"
In response to Bing Tianyi's teasing tone, normally Wang Ziyan would have slapped him a few times. But today, she could only hold back her frustration.
