About twenty minutes later, the car stopped and Lei Ting took a look at the two of them, saying with a smile, “We’ve arrived. Please get out of the car.”

Zhao Yang who was knocked out just so happened to wake up.

Lei Ting opened the car door and Ning Yan and Xiao Jing got out of the car. What appeared in front of them was a fully-enclosed place that was solemn and quiet. Ning Yan shivered when he got out of the car. Then he nudged Xiao Jing who turned his eyes to Lei Ting. “Is this your branch office?”

“This is an underground interrogation room. This way please.” Lei Ting led the way for the two of them and two other agents took Zhao Yang inside.

Looking around at the strange place, Zhao Yang was so scared that he almost peed. He carefully looked around and secretly fumbled for his cell phone, when someone suddenly said coldly, “There isn’t any cell phone signal here. Your cell phone is useless.”

Zhao Yang took a look at his cell phone and found that there wasn’t any cell phone signal indeed. He was scared. Now he knows that he messed with the wrong people this time. They even dared to disguise as policemen and blatantly cheat him into being here!

“Director Ning… I didn’t want to do those things to you. Director Wang made me do this!” Zhao Yang said to Ning Yan imploringly, hoping that Ning Yan could save his life after he confessed…

Ning Yan took a look at Zhao Yang and his eyes sparkled with a cold gleam. “You confessed too late!”

Lei Ting looked at Ning Yan and raised his eyebrows, saying with a smile, “Young Master Ning, our Young Master has said that you could do whatever you wanted to these people and if you had any trouble because of this, he would solve it for you.”

Ning Yan smiled. “Really?”

Xiao Jing took a look at Ning Yan. “The one who you should take revenge on is Wang Bo. He is the one who should pay the price… Zhao Yang is just a small shrimp. What’s the point of taking revenge on him?”

Ning Yan turned up the corners of his mouth. “I will let none of them off!”

Xiao Jing shrugged. “Well, it’s up to you. After all, they provoked you first.”

He was happy to see Ning Yan solve these people who involved his dear sister into this dirty plot! It was unforgivable!

Fortunately, there was only his sister’s back in the photo. No one could recognize that was his sister. Otherwise, he would teach this guy a lesson himself.

…

In the embassy.

It was late when Grandpa Qin arrived at the embassy yesterday afternoon only to find that Ambassador Gao had left. He called Ambassador Gao and his secretary answered the call, telling him that Ambassador Gao left his cell phone in the car, so he had to wait for Ambassador Gao in the embassy early this morning.

His assistant looked at Grandpa Qin who was standing at the gate of the embassy, and he sighed. Ambassador Gao was obviously evading Master. Why did Master still insist on seeing him?

Shouldn’t he go talk to Tang Xi and persuade her to compromise?

At about 9 am, Grandpa Qin finally saw a car stop in front of the embassy. He paused when he saw the person who got out of the car. His assistant was about to go over, when he stopped his assistant. “Let me talk to him.”

Ambassador Gao spotted Grandpa Qin as soon as he got out of the car, but he didn’t want to see him. He had his secretary answer the call for him when Qin Yue called him yesterday.

Ambassador Gao covered up his reluctance, smiled at Grandpa Qin and shook hands with him. “Qin, why are you here?”

Looking at Ambassador Gao who seemed to be quite warm to him, Grandpa Qin smiled. “Well, I came here to ask for your help.”

Not expecting Grandpa Qin would speak out his purpose so straightforwardly, Ambassador Gao raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, “What can I do for you?” Then he led Grandpa Qin into the embassy. “Let’s talk about it in my office.”

That being said, Ambassador Gao was thinking hard about how he could refuse Qin Yue.

Ambassador Gao took Grandpa Qin into his office and asked his secretary to pour two cups of tea. Then he took off his coat, hung it on the hanger and sat down on the sofa. “Tell me what you want me to do? What trouble do you have?”

“Well…” Grandpa Qin took a look at Ambassador Gao and shook his head as he said in embarrassment, “It’s still about my granddaughter. She assaulted someone in the airport and is now locked up in the police station. We are not even allowed to visit her. So I had to turn to you for help.”

Ambassador Gao looked at Grandpa Qin, frowned and thought for a while before he asked, “So you want to visit your granddaughter?”

Grandpa Qin was surprised. He didn’t expect Ambassador Gao would say this, so he shook his head and said, “No, I don’t want to see my darn granddaughter. My blood pressure might go up if I see her. Could you please transfer this case to China? After all, we are all Chinese. Isn’t it better to solve this case in China? Why should we let foreigners try this case?”

“I’m afraid I can’t do this. It’s beyond my ability. We have to abide by the local law. Although your granddaughter is Chinese, she committed the crime in France, so this case should be tried in France. This is international practice.” Ambassador Gao looked helplessly at Grandpa Qin and shook his head as he said, “Qin, I’m afraid I can’t help you this time.”

Grandpa Qin looked at Ambassador Gao in surprise. “Really? Gao, I know what you’re capable of. It shouldn’t be difficult for you.”

Yes, it’s not difficult, but I can’t do you this favor. I can’t ignore my wife’s life for your granddaughter, right?

Ambassador Gao looked at Grandpa Qin with a frown and said, “Qin, to be frank, I’ve received the instructions from my superiors, telling me not to meddle in this affair. You know I can’t defy my superiors’ orders. I’m sorry I can’t help you this time.”

Grandpa Qin looked surprised. “You mean you received an order from the capital?”

Ambassador Gao nodded. “Yes, I think if you want to save your granddaughter, you’d better talk to the victim. Perhaps she will agree to compromise with you.”

“I’ve tried. I have talked with that girl of the Tang family, but she refused to compromise. Now she is not as easy-going as before.” Grandpa Qin frowned and looked a bit angry.

At this time, his secretary came in with the tea. Ambassador Gao signaled his secretary to serve Grandpa Qin the tea. “I’m sorry I can’t help you, but this tea is your favorite Bi Luo Chun. This is the new tea of this year. Have a taste please.”
