Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhang Rui spoke a little rapidly. She said that her father had met with some difficulties in his business. Zhang Wei’s friends, whom he had worked with for a long time, told him that they had been threatened by the Ji family. Zhang Wei would have been kept in the dark if his friends hadn’t told him so.
The Ji family’s business in City A was very big. Zhang Wei’s company was being targeted and he couldn’t hold out for too long.
Zhang Wei had wanted to clear the air with the Ji family, perhaps there had been a misunderstanding. However, he decided to hold his ground after hearing Zhang Rui explain her conflict with Ji Wei.
He would start afresh if need be, but he wouldn’t allow his daughter to be bullied. However, Zhang Rui’s heart ached for her father. After all, he was already in his fifties. She felt sorry that she had implicated him.
“Don’t get into a direct conflict with her. Zhang Rui, don’t be too anxious. I’ll go to your house tomorrow and we’ll discuss countermeasures together.” Yin Tao had too many things to deal with at the moment, but it was impossible for her to ignore Zhang Rui’s matter. If not for her, Zhang Rui wouldn’t have provoked that crazy woman, Ji Wei.
“I’m fine. Just be careful for the time being. 1’11 wait for you at home tomorrow.” Zhang Rui didn’t know that Yin Tao had been abducted and thought that Ji Wei was only targeting her father’s company.
Feng Jing heard the conversation between Yin Tao and Zhang Rui. After the call ended, he thought for a moment and asked Yin Tao, “Xiaotao, if we can’t pin the abduction case on Ji Wei, how do you want to resolve this matter?”
“Then 1’11 personally go and talk to her. I don’t believe that she’s really lawless.” Yin Tao wasn’t that angry at first, but when she heard that Zhang Rui was also affected by Ji Wei, she couldn’t take it anymore.
“Remember to take me along when the time comes. I haven’t contacted her brother in a while. It’s time to meet him.”
Yin Tao understood Feng Jing’s intentions and thanked him with a smile.
When they arrived home, Feng Ya was in the hall on the first floor. When she saw Feng Jing and Yin Tao return together, she walked forward excitedly and hugged Yin Tao.
“Xiaotao, what happened yesterday? If anything really happens to you, I will never forgive myself!” Feng Ya was completely relieved to see that Yin Tao was really fine.
She hadn’t rested well the entire night. She felt so guilty when she thought about how Yin Tao had almost got hurt.
“Xiaotao was abducted yesterday. Although no harm was done, it’s indeed quite dangerous. In the future, you have to be more vigilant when you go out.”
Yin Tao was still hesitating if she should tell Feng Ya the truth when Feng Jing went ahead and told her what had happened.
“Xiaotao, you must have been scared out of your wits. Rest well at home for the next few days. I will keep you company.”
After hearing what had happened, Feng Ya’s heart ached even more for Yin Tao. It was impossible for anyone not to be terrified, let alone a young girl like Yin Tao.
“Auntie, I’m really fine.” Yin Tao could sense that Feng Ya was really worried about her and was very touched.
Feng Ya looked at Feng Jing, who was standing beside Yin Tao, and couldn’t help but say to him, “Feng Jing, take a few days off to keep Xiaotao company. Don’t always be busy with work.”
“Auntie, I know you feel sorry for Xiaotao, but it’s impossible for me not to handle the police station’s work.” Feng Jing looked at Feng Ya helplessly. When his Auntie was willful, even Old Master Feng couldn’t control her.
Seeing that Feng Ya was about to argue with Feng Jing, Yin Tao hurriedly stopped her and said, “Auntie, it’s all thanks to Brother Feng who saved me this time. He worked through the night to interrogate the suspect. Don’t blame him.”
“You guys chat. I’ll wait for you in the car first.”
Seeing that Feng Jing was indeed very tired, Feng Ya felt a little uneasy. After he left, she whispered to Yin Tao, “I wonder when Feng Jing will learn to take good care of himself.”
Yin Tao knew that Feng Jing may never get over what happened. He would throw himself into his work and not care about his life.
“It will be fine in the future. Auntie, Brother Feng is such a good person. He will definitely find his happiness.”
Feng Ya looked at the serious Yin Tao and smiled. “What’s so good about him? He’s like a block of wood and doesn’t know how to care about others.”
“That’s your prejudice against Brother Feng.”
Seeing Yin Tao speaking up for Feng Jing, a smile appeared on Feng Ya’s face. “Alright, 1 won’t criticize him anymore.”
Yin Tao also noticed the change in Feng Ya’s tone and felt a little embarrassed.
“Xiaotao, 1 know that you have a good impression of Feng Jing. I just don’t want the two of you to miss the chance to be together..”
