How could he be fine?! Shu Shu started to worry.
Everyone continued to chat, but no one lost interest because of the small incident just now. Granny Ling greeted President Zhu, "President Zhu is truly a distinguished guest of our family. It is my honor for you to be here."
"Madam, if you say so, I am also returning to T City. I heard that it is your birthday, so I came over to offer my birthday wishes. I rarely come back, and I don't have many chances to meet you."
Ling Qiao quietly listened to President Zhu's words. He suppressed the rage within his heart, which was burning hotter and hotter.
Shu Shu could clearly feel Ling Qiao's body stiffen. She did not answer even if she had asked him. However, her eyes were clearly dancing with anger.
What was going on?
On the other side, the Chen family helped the crumbling Tang Siqing back to the Tang family. None of them expected that President Zhu would actually come back and appear at Granny Ling's birthday banquet.
From everyone's point of view, President Zhu had agreed to the Ling Bai Group's loan back then, which was why the Ling Bai Group was able to survive the crisis. He was the Ling Bai Group's savior, the Ling Family's esteemed guest.
"Ah! Cousin, what should we do? What should we do? Why is he back?" She couldn't help it, she couldn't bear it, all of this was unexpected.
"Cousin, don't panic. You can't solve this in a hurry, so don't cry."
"He just saw me, he saw me. If this matter gets out, I won't have to live anymore."
"Calm down, you won't spread the news …"
She held her head and slowly sat on the ground, "Why did he come back? Why? If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have returned. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have let Uncle Zhang tell Ling Qiao. What should I do now?"
Chen Jiqian frowned and blurted out, "Did you ask Uncle Zhang to tell Ling Qiao on purpose?"
Tang Xiuqing stared blankly at him, neither admitting nor denying. She only said in a soft voice, "If you don't want to help me, then I'll have to ask Uncle Zhang for help …"
"Qingqing, how can you do this! Do you know how much Ling Qiao blames himself? Do you want him to die of guilt? "Yes, this is a fact, but you chose to hide it from me back then. Now that he's married, why are you still telling him about it?"
"Cousin, do you really understand? I can't lose Ling Qiao, and even more so, I can't be controlled by President Zhu, I can't!" Her face was covered in tears as she pleaded while crying, "Cousin, you have to help me. Now that Uncle Zhang has returned to Australia, no one can help me but you. Only you can help me …"
Seeing his cousin in so much pain, the Chen family's modesty finally softened, "Cousin, get up first. Don't sit on the ground. Cousin will definitely help you. Don't be afraid." He naturally would not do something like breaking the ring on someone else's marriage, but this cousin of his, he would definitely protect, and he definitely would not let President Zhu harm her again.
Inside the Ling family's mansion, President Zhu was sitting at the main table as the Ling family's honored guest. Granny Ling's gratitude to him was more than a little. The Ling family's current glory was all due to the trust that Governor Zhu had placed in them back then.
Granny Ling looked at the people on the table, "Why isn't Little Girl coming over yet?"
Elder Tang immediately said, "Hey, ignore her. Elder Sis, let's start the meal."
Granny Ling nodded, then turned to her grandson and said, "Ling Qiao, hurry up and respect President Zhu. It's all thanks to him that your seat is stable."
Ling Qiao's face darkened as the corners of his mouth twitched, "Alright, Grandmother." He stood up respectfully, raised his glass, and said, "President Zhu, let me toast you." Then he raised his head and gulped it down.
President Zhu also drank the wine as he said with a smile, "Old madam, Ling Qiao has become much calmer since he left home. You should be very pleased with yourself."
"Hehe, that's right, I don't have anything to worry about right now. I'm just waiting to carry my great-grandson."
Under the table, his hands could not help but tightly clench into a fist. This was his grandmother's birthday feast. He could not flip the table to vent his anger, much less make a move against the guests. He could only treat them with respect.
After experiencing the experience in the shopping mall, he learned how to endure and how to treat his enemies with a smile. He also knew how to restrain his temper, he would not be as impulsive as three years ago.
As soon as the birthday feast ended, before Ling Qiao could find President Zhu, he was the first to ask, "Ling Qiao, can I have a word with you?"
Ling Qiao silently told Shu Shu, "I'll go over for a while. You can go sit in the sofa for a while." With that, he turned around and followed President Zhu out.
Shu Shu looked at the two of them with concern. She always felt that this President Zhu was not simple. When he came, Tang Congee would immediately disappear without a trace, while Ling Qiao would seem to have become a completely different person.
Ling Qiao suppressed the urge to beat him to death and said: "President Zhu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhu Da politely took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes and offered him one. Ling Qiao blocked his hand, "I've quit smoking. Say it, what do you want?" Experience had taught him that Zhu Da had a request.
Zhu Da smiled and said in a low voice, "Ling Qiao, something has happened to me recently in Beijing. I want to go abroad to avoid it. After thinking about it for a while, I still feel that only you can help me."
"Oh?" Ling Qiao's heart was suddenly opened. This was great, now there was injustice, revenge, and revenge in the face of death.
Zhu Da was also a shrewd person. He only said: "As many officials as possible, I accidentally stepped on a mine. Can you arrange for me to go to New Zealand as soon as possible? I know that you have opened a branch there, there must be a lot of connections and resources, it would be best if you could arrange for all of my family members to go there within a week.
Ling Qiao thought to himself. It seemed that not only had something happened to Zhu Da in Beijing, but something big had happened to him. He agreed with a smile, "Sure."
Zhu Da was overjoyed. He held Ling Qiao's hand and said, "Thank you so much. I knew that you would definitely help me. Back then, I also believed that you had the ability to help, which was why I approved Ling Bai's loan."
After Zhu Da left, Ling Qiao immediately called Deng Zijun to ask him to investigate what happened to Zhu Da in Beijing.
There was no wall that did not let the wind through. Zhu Da was unwilling to say more, so Ling Qiao would check for himself.
Chen Jia Qian came from the opposite side, seeing Zhu Da driving away, he asked, "Why did he leave?"
Ling Qiao took a deep breath and said solemnly, "He caused trouble in Beijing and wanted me to arrange for his entire family to go to New Zealand."
"Roar, you agreed?"
Ling Qiao smiled obliquely and said, "Of course, I will definitely help you with that. I have already sent Zi Jun to find out what kind of trouble he encountered in Beijing. At that time, we will see how we can kill him." He unconsciously clenched his fists, his joints turning white. "What about Qingqing?"
"What can she do? She can't avoid it."
"Zhu Da has his own matters to attend to and even has a request from me. I don't think he will go harass Xia Qing."
"Better." Chen Jiaxi looked at Shu Shu and said, "Is there any relationship between you and Shu Shu?"
"It's alright. Don't worry, I will take care of it."
Deng Zijun soon received the news that a high-ranking official had fallen, but the news had always been locked up and was being investigated in secret. Zhu Da had a close relationship with this high-ranking official, so the moment Zhu Da received the news, he immediately fled from Beijing.
What a great opportunity, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get his revenge this time. There was no need for him to do anything. He was free to execute Zhu Da.
"President Zhu, it's Ling Qiao. I've already done the task you asked me to do. I can leave in three days."
"Alright, thank you so much. Ling Qiao, I will remember this favor. If you have any financial difficulties in the future, I will definitely do my best to help."
"Then I'll thank President Zhu first." Ling Qiao hung up the phone with a smile, then reported to the relevant authorities that Zhu Da was trying to escape from the country.
Beijing already had part of the evidence on Zhu Da, but unfortunately, this old fox was very cunning. Many of the documents were not signed by him personally, and the evidence he had was not enough to capture people. No matter what, he had to stop the news of Zhu Da wanting to flee the country.
At the airport, as Zhu Da was leading his family through security, uniformed police officers detained him.
"I'm looking for a lawyer!"
When Ling Qiao received the call for help, Zhu Da was already in the detention centre. He asked his lawyer to find Ling Qiao as a guarantor. If Ling Qiao appeared, he could definitely be released on bail.
Ling Qiao followed the lawyer into the jail to visit Zhu Da.
"President Zhu."
When Zhu Da saw Ling Qiao, he grabbed his hand and pleaded, "Ling Qiao, I will have to trouble you again. You must think of a way to save me."
Ling Qiao faked a question, "I've already arranged for this to happen, how did they end up in the custody of the Public Security? What did you bring? " When he heard that the security officer had detained Zhu Da because he was carrying dangerous goods, he knew that this was probably an excuse. He only needed to delay the arrest for a few more days, and once they found evidence of Zhu Da's crimes, they would be able to arrest him.
Zhu Da said with a sad face, "I didn't bring anything. They don't have the right to detain me. I'm innocent."
"Oh?" Ling Qiao suddenly opened his hand, "But the lawyer didn't come. He's Chen Jiaxi, not Lawyer Zhang."
"What?" Zhu Da then turned to look at the person beside Ling Qiao, "Chen family Qian, why is it you? Where's Lawyer Zhang? "
"President Zhu, do you still not understand? Where is the lawyer?"
Three years ago, the first thing that Chen family Qian did after Tang Xiu left was to go to Zhu Da's house and beat him up. It was hard to imagine that the always gentle and gentle Chen family's Chen Qinghong would also use martial arts. However, that was the case. Zhu Da's front teeth had been knocked out by the Chen Family and he had been hospitalized for three months due to internal bleeding.
Of course, Zhu Da wouldn't call the police. After this beating, he could only go along with it.
Later on, Chen Jiaxian also left the country for further education and only came back last year. Zhu Da wanted to avoid Chen Jiaxian, so he agreed to be promoted to Beijing. Unexpectedly, it had only been half a year and something had already happened.
Now that they met again in this prison, Zhu Da could no longer remain calm. "Ling Qiao, what's going on?"
Ling Qiao's eyes became sharp, and gradually became frightening. With anger, he lowered his voice and said, "Zhu Da, have you forgotten what you did to Tang Thirty-Six three years ago?"
Zhu Da was shocked. His eyes were as big as bells, and he was dumbstruck, unable to say a word.
Ling Qiao stood up, grabbing Zhu Da's collar, his eyes were intimidating and sharp, "Zhu Da, your retribution is here, but you live on properly, I want to see you die of old age in this prison."
Holding onto the last glimmer of hope, he said, "Ling Qiao, I was the one who helped the Ling Bai Group. That loan could not have been granted, and I was the one who guaranteed it as the President. How can you not be grateful?"
