"Don't be so curious, it won't do you any good," Lu Hua said in a deep voice. "Quickly apologize to Sister Fang and ask for her forgiveness."
Zhang Dali's heart was pounding, his eyes were glazed over, and his throat was dry. "This..."
He bowed down to a junior, which made him somewhat difficult to deal with.
"What are you standing there for? Didn't you want to know about Brother Long's big case this time?" Lu Hua said coldly, "I don't want to say too much. If you don't want to, then wait until Brother Long comes back..."
"Huh?" Zhang Dali instantly understood what he meant.
Looking at Sun Lifang with surprise, he dared not hesitate and, holding his breath, carefully walked towards her.
Du Qiaozhi thought her uncle was going to help her get revenge, and excitedly shouted, "Beat her! Beat her!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Dali shouted sharply as he turned around, then looked at Lu Hua's face with trepidation, thinking to himself that he should never argue with a child.
"uncle?"
Du Qiaozhi was stunned. When had her uncle ever been so harsh with her? He was usually very kind to her, never raising his voice even slightly. What was wrong with him?
Meanwhile, the onlookers were also surprised. Why did he suddenly get angry at his precious niece? Everyone knew that Zhang Dali doted on his niece.
Then, an even more dramatic scene unfolded.
Ignoring his niece's tears, Zhang Dali walked up to Sun Lifang, bent down at a 60-degree angle, and pleaded humbly, "I'm sorry, it's our fault. The little girl is spoiled and doesn't know any better. Please forgive her, blame me instead."
The man in front of her carefully took all the blame upon himself, and Sun Lifang shook her head.
"I'll apologize however you want, just don't go after her."
Seeing this, Zhang Dali sounded anxious.
His mindset was still stuck before he went to prison. He couldn't stand the methods others used. Whenever he thought about his precious child being in such danger, Zhang Dali couldn't calm down and kept pleading with his back bent.
Now, no one could remain calm anymore.
Who is Zhang Dali? He's the number one troublemaker in Haicheng. Who has ever seen him so humble? If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe it.
Mrs. Tong was so shocked that she was completely stunned, her expression blank, and only one thought remained in her mind.
She made the right bet!
"Alright, I'll let you off this time." Lu Hua waved his hand.
"Okay, sure." Zhang Dali bowed and scraped as he followed behind Sister Long, then pressed his advantage and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming today? I could have had someone pick you up."
"Let's go, let's go, I have something to do." Lu Hua had important business to discuss with Sun Lifang today, and she impatiently dealt with the man.
Zhang Dali carefully observed Lu Hua's expression and confirmed that she really meant to let them go and didn't care about Du Qiaozhi. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
As he watched the two leave, he heard his niece's reproach: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? You broke your promise! I'm never talking to you again!"
"Du Qiaozhi, listen to me." Zhang Dali suddenly became serious and looked at Du Qiaozhi, saying each word clearly, "Sun Lifang, you can't touch her, and don't provoke her. Promise your uncle, okay?"
"No! Let me go!"
Du Qiaozhi was furious and turned to run away.
She never expected that her uncle, who always doted on her, would be like this. Was she really that miserable?
"Listen to me!" Zhang Dali grabbed her arm and said in a deep voice, "Think about the little story your uncle told you before. If you don't want to die, listen to me, understand?"
Du Qiaozhi didn't understand, but she was still frightened by Zhang Dali.
Remembering the little story his uncle had once told, his palms clenched, and he replied almost unconsciously, "Okay."
.
Inside the private room, Lu Hua stared at Sun Lifang with a serious expression. After a long while, he said, "There's something I don't know if I should tell you."
A sorrowful look lingered between the woman's brows as she engaged in a final internal struggle.
Sun Lifang didn't speak rashly; some things, once spoken, could never be undone.
But I'm also a bit conflicted.
She didn't want to get involved in social relationships, because getting involved would only lead to endless trouble and problems coming her way.
For some inexplicable reason, I found myself thinking about what had just happened again.
She also benefited from her "social connections".
"Sister Fang, you've already saved me once, could you help me again?"
Suddenly, Lu Hua knelt down before Sun Lifang.
Startled, Sun Lifang quickly squatted down. "What's wrong? Tell me, I'll listen."
She turned her head to examine Lu Hua closely, and upon closer inspection, she noticed that the woman looked haggard.
Right now, it's a bluish-black color that even makeup can't cover up.
"Isn't there some good news? I'll do my best to help you if you can. What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to contact you." The pretense of the past few days could no longer be maintained. Lu Hua's eyes reddened, and his tone was ethereal: "This matter seems glamorous, but I didn't expect it to involve so many people. Brother Long may not be coming back."
As the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet." This time, they threatened someone else's interests. Although the higher-ups conducted a secret investigation, some people with ulterior motives leaked the information.
Those people will seek revenge.
"We're alright, but I have a son and a daughter. What will happen to them?"
Lu Hua's heart clenched at the mere thought of it.
"Did Kong Xiang tell the story?" Sun Lifang asked in a deep voice. "Do you know who told the story? Let's find out the source."
"I have no idea."
Lu Hua clutched her head in anguish and cried out in a shrill voice, "Those people have found my daughter and even splashed paint on my house. There are people watching me. What am I going to do?"
There's no way to escape.
Sun Lifang understood; this was also why those criminal police officers had to live under assumed names, unable to inform their families even on their deathbeds, and refusing to allow them to visit.
Lu Hua pretended that nothing had happened, afraid of alerting the enemy, which shows how much pressure he was under.
