Chapter 174
The woman who pushed the door open was Li Man, Qin Liangjun's wife.
Li Man went out for something during the day and just came back now, so she didn't know what happened at home. When the car arrived at the door, I saw from a distance that the light in the study was still on, and I knew that my husband was still busy. After getting out of the car and entering the house, she handed her coat to the nanny, then went upstairs to the study, wanting to remind her husband to take care of himself and not to overwork himself. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she saw her husband's face was very bad. She subconsciously shouted, but her voice suddenly dropped halfway through the words. At the same time, she quickly closed the door and then quickly walked to the desk.
"How is it? Is it serious? If not, ask Wentao to come over." Li Man asked in a low voice.
Qin Liangjun waved his hand, "It's okay, no need to call him." Although he said so, his brows were still furrowed, which was really unconvincing. After a while, he continued, "There are people around, and it's easy to make people suspicious if Wentao comes here at night. Even if it's in your name, it's not safe. You only showed up during the day. It's not good to come back now. You're not really made of paper, how can you be so fragile."
Hearing this, Li Man had to give up. After sighing, she turned her attention to other things, "You've been fine recently, haven't you? Why do you suddenly feel unwell?"
Qin Liangjun got angry when he heard this, "It's all your good son's fault!"
Li Man's heart tightened, and her tone unconsciously became anxious, "What trouble did Xiaofeng get into again? Is he okay?"
Qin Liangjun's face, which had just improved, turned darker after hearing this. "I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't spoil him too much. If you don't stop him from making small troubles and even clean up his mess, he will only make bigger troubles and get into trouble sooner or later. You didn't believe it at the beginning, but now it has come true!"
"Look at what you said!" Li Man was a little unhappy, "What do you mean by I spoil him? How many times have you asked people to clean up his mess? Also, if you didn't acquiesce, would those people listen to him and help him do this and that?!"
Under normal circumstances, Qin Liangjun might have said a few words, but at this moment, he really didn't want to talk, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's useless to say these things now, let's think about how to solve it."
"What's going on? Xiao Feng likes to play, but he knows his limits. Apart from the time when he was seventeen, he has never gotten into any serious trouble over the years. This shouldn't happen!"
Qin Liangjun briefly explained the situation.
Li Man was silent for a long time after listening to this, then she sighed and said, "Speaking of this, we can't blame him entirely. No one expected such a coincidence that a little star would know someone from the Bai family. The relationship might be quite special. Young Master Bai recognized him as a brother, not just a friend. But you need the Bai family now, alas..."
If it were in the past, Qin Liangjun wouldn't be so worried. Although the Bai family has a special status and can be treated as guests of honor by the top circles in the Southern Administrative District, they are not in this circle themselves. And Qin Liangjun is not a nobody who can be bullied at will. After Qin Feng caused this incident, the people above him would most likely choose to reconcile. In the end, he would bring his son to the door to apologize and admit his mistake and bleed a little, and that would be enough.
But now we are in a special period. About half a year ago, Qin Liangjun gradually rarely appeared in public. At the same time, his wife Li Man fell ill more often. At the beginning, she had to call a doctor once a week on average. Although she got better later, there would still be one or two such illnesses in a month.
In fact, the one who was sick was not Li Man, but Qin Liangjun. Because a new round of leadership change would be held at the end of the year, Qin Liangjun had the qualifications, political achievements and resources, and the possibility of further advancement was very high. However, at this critical moment, he had health problems. He had originally been planning to use his teacher's connections to ask the Bai family for help, but before it could be finalized, Qin Feng interfered. That was why Qin Liangjun was so nervous when he heard the name of the Bai family's patriarch.
If we categorize the levels of disappointing others, Qin Feng would definitely be at the highest level!
On the other side, Bai Ningxi was talking to Jing Ling.
Just now, a peer who was somewhat acquainted with him at Cuiming Mountain called him and asked if he knew Jing Ling. This group of people wouldn't ask someone a question easily, but once they open their mouth it means there's something going on. Although with Jing Ling's skills, it is basically impossible for him to suffer a loss in a fight, no matter how many people are on the other side, but there are too many ways to deal with a person these days, and it is a bad idea to fight at the slightest disagreement.
Jing Ling's identity is currently highly confidential. Only the top leaders know about it. The people below cannot find out at all. At best they can detect something is wrong. But because of this, some clowns will mistakenly believe that this is just an ordinary person who can be bullied at will.
It's already very late now. If it were someone else, Bai Ningxi would probably have to wait until the next day to confirm the situation. But Jing Ling is different. He is the heir of the Li family, and the relationship between the five families has always been very close. In addition, during the trip to the hunting ground, they have become life-long friends. Jing Ling saved his life, so he cares about Jing Ling's affairs.
"Have you been into any trouble recently?" He didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
Jing Ling was also very straightforward on the other end of the phone, and did not hide anything. "It's a little troublesome. I borrowed your family's name and reported it to the old man." He also briefly mentioned what happened, and then asked, "You should be in school now, how did the news get to you?"
"I heard it from a friend." Bai Ningxi replied, "Speaking of the Qin family, I do know a little bit."
He told Jing Ling about Qin Liangjun's matter, paused, and continued, "The old man has semi-retired now. At least he has to be at the level of the Cuiming Mountain Central District to ask him to help. The Qin family is not up to that level yet. You also know that the leadership will be changed at the end of the year. Regarding Qin Liangjun's matter, the family is still waiting and watching, and may not intervene. Even if they really need to help in the end, it will be me who will do it."
"How do you want to end this matter?"
"What a coincidence." Jing Ling said with a smile, his tone slightly surprised.
From a phone number, a surname and a few other details, he guessed that the person behind the scenes was Qin Feng, who originally just wanted to use the name of the Bai family to cover up the matter. This is not to say that he can pretend nothing happened after being bullied, but he has always been clear about gratitude and grudges. This is Qin Feng's own fault. As long as Qin Liangjun does not intervene, it will only be blamed on Qin Feng. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. It has nothing to do with other people. He will find an opportunity to teach Qin Feng a lesson.
After hanging up the phone, he also told the old man of the Bai family about this. After all, it would be a bit too much not to inform them after borrowing someone else's name. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now after listening to Bai Ningxi's words, I knew there was such a thing, and then I realized that the old man's attitude at that time was quite intriguing.
"I don't ask for much. He has ruined several of my projects, so I have to show some appreciation." Jing Ling didn't ask for too much because he understood the situation clearly. It is only the beginning of the year and there is still some time before the change of leadership. The Bai family's wait-and-see stance is unlikely to be resolved so easily, which means they may not necessarily intervene in Qin Liangjun's affairs. Everyone knows this, and using this as a bargaining chip is of limited weight. After all, Qin Liangjun is not stupid. But like Bai Ningxi said, he was the one who took action in the end. No matter what the result is, as long as it is not too excessive, the Qin family can only bear it and accept it. They can't cut off this road first.
After all, it’s all Qin Feng’s fault for being so unlucky!
After he finished speaking, Bai Ningxi on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before she smiled and said, "Jing Ling, you were born to belong to this circle."
The meaning of this sentence does not need to be stated explicitly, both of them know it. After chatting for a few more words, the call ended.
The next morning, when Jing Ling was having breakfast with Chen Ze, the phone thrown on the sofa suddenly vibrated. He knew what was going on, so he wasn't in a hurry at all. He finished his meal slowly and then got up and walked over. At this moment, the phone has vibrated three times and the fourth time is about to end. He bent down to pick up the phone, and sure enough, the caller number was Qin Feng's.
"Hello." He answered the phone and lay down on the sofa.
Qin Feng's slightly strange voice came from the other end of the phone, "Jing Ling... No, Master Jing, it's me, Qin Feng..."
To put it simply, Qin Feng's call was about apologizing and discussing how to compensate. It mainly depended on Jing Ling's opinion and what he wanted, money, resources, or something else.
"I'll tell you when I've thought it through." Jing Ling said and hung up the phone. He really hadn't decided what he wanted, and of course he also wanted to keep Qin Feng hanging, because as long as he didn't make a decision, the other party would not be able to feel at ease.
After hanging up the phone, he looked up and saw Shen Ze sitting not far away, staring at him.
"Qin Feng called and asked for an apology and to cede territory and pay compensation. Do you think I want money or resources?" Jing Ling asked instead of answering.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ze almost jumped up from his chair and blurted out without thinking, "I want resources!!! Anyway, you have so much money and are a billionaire. What you lack now is resources. The resources in Shengshi Tianguang's hands are still very reliable!"
"Okay, let's do as you say." Although it was decided, Jing Ling was not going to tell Qin Feng immediately, letting that guy suffer for another two days. However, something unexpected happened during this period. Director Gu, who had been silent since filming "The Lonely Island", finally decided on a new drama.
