Chapter 498 - 494: Thawing Former Resentments
In the security department’s reception room, Ji Beizhao sat quietly on a chair, with Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui standing guard on either side of him, watching him closely to prevent escape.
Seeing Ling Chen enter, Zhong Wei nodded in greeting and asked, "Do you want me to call the police?"
"No need," Ling Chen said. "Captain Zhong, you two step out for a bit, I have something to discuss with him alone."
"Alright, we’ll be outside if you need us." With that, Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui stepped out of the reception room.
Once they were gone, Ling Chen pulled up a chair and placed it in front of Ji Beizhao, saying, "I know all about you. To be honest, you played your part well, even I was fooled. If not because of your father, you probably wouldn’t have exposed your own identity."
Ji Beizhao spoke up, "A few days ago in Beijing, he contacted me by phone, saying he was ready to make his move, but then I heard nothing for days. At that time, I knew something had happened to him."
"So, you decided to go all in," Ling Chen shook his head and commented, "Lucky for you, your father understood your nature, knew you wouldn’t just give up; otherwise, you could have caused a great disaster."
"Enough with the nonsense. Just get to the point and tell me how you plan to deal with me."
"Based on your actions, I should turn you over to the police. However, the Nanrong Family has decided to let bygones be bygones, out of consideration for past relations, and will not further pursue your wrongdoings." With that, Ling Chen pointed to the door of the reception room and said, "Go on, your father is waiting for you outside. Remember, don’t come around to disturb the Nanrong Family’s life again."
Hearing this, Ji Beizhao gave Ling Chen a deep look, and then, without a word, stood up and walked straight out.
