"But she believes it, and so do I." Suddenly, a familiar, cold and pleasant voice came from behind Chen Tinghan: "Also, no matter what, the current situation does not allow you to withdraw your hands to deal with Cai Rongcheng on the other side. There are priorities. Grandpa Chen, please spare me."
Chen Tinghan looked back and realized that Wang Jinling had arrived at the beach and appeared behind him. Chen Tinghan was silent for a while and said, "Why is it this style of swimsuit? It's really disappointing."
Wang Jinling stood on the beach. Her body, which had been exercised for many years, still looked tall and straight, even on the bumpy beach. Her figure was so perfect and elegant that one glance at her would make people intoxicated and unable to look away.
However, this beautiful figure and curves are also very stingy. She only allows people to see the curves of her waist and legs. Her whole body is wrapped in an unromantic one-piece sun-protective swimsuit, so tight that she is unwilling to reveal even half an inch of skin.
Even those white and slender little feet could not be seen by Chen Tinghan, which made people feel itchy.
Wang Jinling smiled softly and said, "Because there are so many people here, I'm afraid my Master Chen will get jealous."
Chen Tinghan's breathing quickened slightly, then he immediately calmed down and said calmly, "How dare you conclude that I won't pursue the matter of Cai Rongcheng?"
"From the moment I learned he went to the middleman to report the incident, I knew something was going to go wrong, but I wasn't worried," she said with a smile, "because he's not the bad guy you think he is."
Wang Jinling said seriously, "You are a 'volunteer policeman,' which means you don't need to abide by the professional ethics that real police officers need to abide by. Money transactions are not a bad thing in your eyes. At least, it cannot be used as a direct criterion to judge whether a person is evil.
Cai Rongcheng is definitely not a bad person."
"But he let Ji Yanghai, a wanted criminal with a history of murder, go," Chen Tinghan said. "As a police officer, he must know what it means to let someone like that go."
"But his actions, at least so far, haven't caused any serious consequences." Wang Jinling came forward with a smile, hugged Chen Tinghan's arm, and said, "Let's not dwell on these insignificant details now. My Grandpa Chen, if you are kind enough to show mercy, I will reward you."
Chen Tinghan really wanted to loudly scold her for this boring trick, which was as ridiculous as hanging a donkey with a carrot, treating him as an idiot, a three-year-old child... but her reward had already been given.
Feeling the soft touch on his forearm, Chen Tinghan coughed twice and said, "Did you watch some wicked TV show? What a weird tone you use."
This was actually a positive answer. Wang Jinling smiled contentedly and said, "The Legend of Zhen Huan."
“…” Chen Tinghan was speechless.
Of course, he agreed not to pursue the matter now, certainly not because of this so-called reward, but because he really did not have time to deal with Cai Rongcheng. His problem was not that urgent. Now that the cards were clear and there were so many eyes watching, he could not do anything tricky.
At 3:30 p.m., after the blazing sun overhead over Wanghai was at its hottest and most irritating, participants in this inter-school event had already begun arriving. Familiar faces mixed with strangers, with around 30 or 40 students and teachers from four schools participating. While it might not sound like a large turnout at first, it was actually a deliberate effort to control the number of attendees.
After all, it is an extracurricular activity involving multiple schools, and the venue is on the sensitive seaside. To participate in this activity, safety is the top priority. Parents must be informed, and teachers must participate.
Even when the teachers initially suggested not allowing students to go to the sea to play, they were met with unanimous opposition. If people are allowed to go to the beach but not allowed to play in the water, then what is the point of going to the beach?
The teachers had no choice but to agree to the students' request, on the condition that they could only move within a limited area and hired a special safety officer to oversee the students' underwater activities.
Looking at the crowds of people in front of him, Chen Tinghan found it a little unbelievable. Based on his understanding of institutions like schools, such large-scale group activities still require the participation of multiple parties. After all, safety is paramount. If they don't want to take responsibility, they should have not allowed it from the beginning, let alone spending money to hire people and rent a venue like now.
Wang Jinling saw his confusion and explained to him carefully and thoughtfully, "Our family paid for it. Specifically, it was my mom who paid for it."
As she spoke, Shi Zirui suddenly took a step forward, forgetting even to put on her shoes. She trotted barefoot to the road above the beach, walked to a car, bent down, and respectfully opened the door.
He had good eyesight, and even at this distance, he could vaguely see that the woman getting off the car looked somewhat similar to the elderly woman he only met once in the nursing home.
She is different now than in my memory, she is radiant and still has her charm.
Chen Tinghan was surprised and looked over there, asking, "Your mother, Zhong Yinhua? How could she be involved in such a thing?"
"She's not participating, she's hosting it." Wang Jinling said, "She used to be a domineering rich girl who loved to be in the hustle and bustle. But in recent years, as you know about my family's situation, her temper has been smoothed over.
I don't know what's going on lately, but it's like I've gone back to the old days. What can I say? It's about the mother-daughter relationship. It was only when I was about to graduate that I started to worry about my interpersonal relationships."
This statement sounded unreliable, causing Chen Tinghan to lower his eyelashes slightly and look at Wang Jinling's face with suspicion.
The girl said coquettishly, "Can you please stop suspecting me of doing something bad? This really wasn't my plan. Besides, what are these students worth that I'd waste my time on?"
Chen Tinghan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, but it was still a bit weird and he couldn't figure it out.
Wang Jinling has no reason to do so, and Zhong Yinhua has even less reason to do so.
The girl suddenly fell silent, her expression expressionless. However, Chen Tinghan sensed a hint of disgust and said calmly, "She's been acting like this lately. Ever since Ai Chunxiao's mistress openly moved into the house, she hasn't been back. It's like she doesn't care about anything and isn't afraid of anything anymore."
"Your family is quite a mess...Won't Wang Kai say anything?" Chen Tinghan said.
"No one would have any possessive desire for a crazy woman who spends all day mad and self-pitying," Wang Jinling said expressionlessly. "No matter how perverted Wang Kai is, he'd get tired of her by then."
The two chatted like this, and then watched the woman walk down the stairs with a number of followers or bodyguards, step on the beach, and rush towards them.
After all, her daughter is here.
However, the situation was somewhat different from what he had imagined. Zhong Yinhua walked straight towards him without even looking at his daughter. Instead, he stopped in front of Chen Tinghan and stared at him with an indescribable look.
