Chapter 190: Torturing Zhao Lingling (7)
"Brother Yusheng, what’s wrong?"
"Miss, Zhao Jinbao wants to meet you," Zhang Yuksheng said in a lowered voice.
"Zhao Jinbao? Who?" An Yiqing blinked, unable to recall knowing this person.
"Ahem! Miss, Zhao Jinbao is Zhao Lingling’s father, and the Deputy Director of Xuandu Police Headquarters," Zhang Yuksheng explained, having already learned the details from Zhao Jinbao himself. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel helpless about An Yiqing’s obliviousness. It seemed that she hadn’t taken that foolish woman seriously enough to even consider investigating her.
"Oh! So it’s him!" An Yiqing suddenly realized, vaguely understanding Zhao Jinbao’s intentions but still deliberately asked, "Deputy Director Zhao is here to...?"
"Ahem! To apologize with a plea for forgiveness!" Zhang Yuksheng held back a laugh as he glanced at Zhao Jinbao who had overheard the conversation and coughed lightly to cover it up. Miss An was on the phone, and he had deliberately spoken softly, knowing she would understand him.
"To apologize with a plea for forgiveness? No need!" An Yiqing said with a cool smile, her tone laden with meaning, "Just handle everything according to the law. There’s no need to feel guilty about things one hasn’t done."
Hearing this, Zhao Jinbao, eavesdropping beside Zhang Yuksheng, couldn’t help the cold sweat from layering on his face. He understood the implication behind An Yiqing’s words and became even more anxious.
"An, Miss An..." Zhao Jinbao nervously approached the cell phone in Zhang Yuksheng’s hand and cautiously said, "Miss An, please give me a chance. Leng Leng is young and impulsive, truly too ignorant. I beg you to consider the heartbreaking concern of a parent and give us another chance."
An Yiqing, holding the phone, grew colder as she listened to Zhao Jinbao’s words. Heartbreaking concern of a parent? Tang Zhishan only demoted Zhao Lingling without any actual punishment. If anyone should be pitied, it certainly wasn’t Zhao Lingling. It seemed that Zhao Jinbao was more worried about losing his own position!
