Back at the police car, Chu Ge smiled, "Officer Mu, I noticed you've been puzzled all the way here. What's making you so embarrassed?"
Mu Lingshan was hesitating for a moment and just as she was about to speak, she saw Li Nan coming out from the Taekwondo gym and walking towards them.
"Never mind, I'll come to your house tonight and tell you then."
"Huh?"
"What do you mean huh? Wait for me at home tonight, I'll come over after work."
With that, Mu Lingshan drove off, leaving Chu Ge standing there looking puzzled.
"Brother Chu, are you okay? Did those cops give you trouble?"
"No issues, just went for a written record. Didn't you see that female officer brought me back? Oh, by the way, is my brother still here?"
Watching the police car disappear from view, Chu Ge casually asked Li Nan.
"Him? He left just after you went out."
Knowing that He Junming had left, Chu Ge didn't go back to the Taekwondo gym, exchanged a few words with Li Nan, and went straight back to his car, planning to stay at the company for a while.
Not far after driving out, Chu Ge received a call from Qin Ruojing.
"Chu Ge, are you okay?" As soon as the call connected, Qin Ruojing's voice came through, anxious and worried.
Hearing this, Chu Ge was a bit confused. Could it be that Qin Ruojing already knew about the incident with Park Sungjin?
"I'm fine, doing well, why?"
"Come over to my place, we'll talk in person."
"I... hello?" Just as Chu Ge was about to say more, Qin Ruojing had already hung up.
Though Chu Ge felt speechless, he still drove to the Tianjiao Building and walked into Qin Ruojing's office.
"Chu Ge, did you get into a fight with someone?" As soon as he entered the room, Qin Ruojing straightforwardly asked.
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Chu Ge rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that Qin Ruojing's information network was really quick; this thing just happened, and she already got wind of it.
"Just tell me if you did. It just happened at a Taekwondo gym on Beian Street with a Korean guy?"
Given that Qin Ruojing was already this direct, Chu Ge simply didn't hide it anymore, smiling and nodding, "Your information is quite quick. Yes, something like that happened. Who told you?"
Qin Ruojing slapped her forehead and sighed, looking conflicted.
"I just heard someone say they saw your Maserati there. I didn't expect it was really you. Are you crazy? Everything was fine, why did you get into a fight?"
Chu Ge sat down on the sofa and shrugged nonchalantly, "He deserved a beating, so I beat him up. Simple as that."
Looking at Chu Ge's indifferent attitude, Qin Ruojing felt a headache and couldn't figure him out. How could this guy not know the meaning of trouble?
At the same time, Qin Ruojing became increasingly convinced of one thing, that no matter what, she absolutely must not let her sister get involved with Chu Ge.
Not to mention this incident would already cause chaos in her family. Plus, both of them don't play by the rules. If they really got together, who knows what earth-shattering antics they'd pull off, or what unpredictable pranks they'd play.
Thinking of this, Qin Ruojing felt even more of a headache.
Sighing, Qin Ruojing rubbed her temples, "Alright, it's already happened; I won't say much. Whatever happens, I'll support you. But could you at least tell me the ins and outs of the whole thing?"
Hearing Qin Ruojing say this, Chu Ge was somewhat surprised. He initially thought Qin Ruojing would blame him and then analyze the potential negative impacts on the company, yet she moved on quickly to the next stage.
Unbeknownst to him, if it weren't for Qin Ruoying, Qin Ruojing would have done exactly that. But now that she made up her mind to attract Chu Ge, she must pay attention to everything she does and says to avoid any unpleasant situations between her and Chu Ge.
Chu Ge grinned, "Chairman, I find you very laid-back today; not like your usual style. Don't you want to complain about me a bit?"
Qin Ruojing looked at Chu Ge, a bit angrily, "Alright, enough with the flattery. Just tell me what happened."
After Chu Ge briefly recounted the story, Qin Ruojing asked, "Do you know the identity or background of those two Koreans?"
Chu Ge shook his head, "No idea."
Qin Ruojing gave a wry smile, "Sigh, I hope you haven't offended anyone too troublesome. Anyway, just be careful lately, maybe they'll send someone to get back at you."
Chu Ge smiled slightly, noncommittal.
Seeing Chu Ge's expression, Qin Ruojing knew he didn't take it to heart. She felt a bit helpless and was unsure what else to say.
However, with Tong Yaqi's guidance and having overcome her previous nervousness, Qin Ruojing already considered Chu Ge a must-win client. Even when alone with him, she wasn't as tense as before.
Now, the two of them were alone in that office, which was a great opportunity to enhance their relationship. She didn't want to waste it.
If it were Tong Yaqi, what would she say or do at a moment like this?
Thinking about it, Qin Ruojing suddenly thought of a topic, feeling a bit smug. It seemed her understanding in this area wasn't all that bad.
"By the way, Chu Ge, when you fought with that South Korean guy earlier, were you hurt?"
Hearing Qin Ruojing suddenly bring this up, Chu Ge was a bit speechless. They had been chatting for so long, and Qin Ruojing only just remembered it now, after quite a while of thinking, it seemed.
He couldn't tell whether to say Qin Ruojing was slow on the uptake or confident in his skills.
"No, that guy didn't even touch my clothes, just got thrown to the ground by me directly."
Qin Ruojing was taken aback, lost for words.
She had a can of Honghua Oil mist right at hand, intending to use this topic to find out where Chu Ge got hurt, so she could help him with the bruise just like he rubbed her back when she had a fever.
By doing that, she could express her care, and at the same time, they'd have some physical contact. She thought it was more acceptable for her to touch Chu Ge than the other way around.
After a moment's hesitation, Qin Ruojing asked, "He... was he really that weak? Didn't you say he kicked a lot of dojo halls yesterday and injured many people?"
Chu Ge grinned, "Actually, it's not that he was weak. It was mainly because I don't follow formal martial arts rules. I just went straight at him wildly, grabbed his foot, and slammed him to the ground. Even if he had a tough head, being slammed like that would daze him for sure, so he didn't get a chance to perform."
Qin Ruojing reluctantly agreed with an "Oh," pondering how to cultivate common interests, she immediately said, "Can you tell me in detail how he attacked you?"
Though Chu Ge was a bit surprised by Qin Ruojing's interest in such matters, thinking back to the scene was indeed amusing. Moreover, sharing this with a beautiful lady made him feel good, so he laughed and started explaining.
"He used a pretty cool Taekwondo move at that moment, called the 360-degree spinning tornado kick. It involves spinning in mid-air and then swinging the right leg towards my head."
Qin Ruojing nodded, visualizing the scene, "Oh, I see. And then?"
"Then I grabbed his right foot, and then he straightened his left leg, trying to stab my chest, which I caught too."
A sudden flash of insight came to Qin Ruojing's mind, but she couldn't quite grasp what it was, so she just stalled by asking, "What happened next?"
Chu Ge chuckled, "Next, he moved like a woman trying to scrape my face with his fingers, and I clapped his legs together 'crack' and slammed him head-first to the ground with a 'thud.' After that, I flipped him front to back twice."
Qin Ruojing's mouth twitched, and just by imagining the scene, she genuinely felt pain for Park Sungjin.
"Your wild style is really wild indeed, and that guy was truly unlucky to encounter a rogue fighter like you."
"In fights, as long as you win, it's a good move. Being a rogue typically fares better than being a gentleman. Otherwise, why did he end up lying down while I'm still bouncing around?"
Qin Ruojing looked at Chu Ge with exasperation, her mind racing, when suddenly she realized what her earlier insight was and her eyes lit up, jumping out of her chair.
"No way! You must be hurt!"
Chu Ge was taken aback. Qin Ruojing's sudden outburst was rare, and her sudden remark made him feel bewildered.
Chu Ge blinked, confused, "Me? Hurt? What are you talking about?"
Qin Ruojing opened a drawer on her desk, took out a can of Honghua Oil mist, and shook her head firmly.
"You definitely got hurt, you just don't know it yet. Isn't that how it always goes in TV dramas? Things like Fist Qi, Inner Strength, and Inner Power can injure invisibly. I just happen to have some Honghua Oil here, so hurry up and take off your clothes. I'll help you apply it."
Chu Ge burst out laughing, "Chairman, stop it, will you? That guy kicked with his foot. By your logic, wouldn't I have been affected by his foot odor?"
Qin Ruojing's face darkened. She finally found a justifiable reason to have some physical contact with Chu Ge. According to Tong Yaqi, it should have been a romantic scene, but Chu Ge's comment completely killed the mood.
