Aren’t the family mbers of the city managent officer pitiable?”
Fang Qing stopped talking, turned around, and calmly said to the two sturdy n blocking the way, “Move aside, or else I’ll have no choice but to call the police.”
The two sturdy n remained unmoved.
Fang Qing decisively pretended to take out her phone from her bag.
“Move aside.”
A languid voice ca from behind, Tang Xiaosheng’s.
Only then did the two sturdy n make way.
Fang Qing took out her keys, opened the door, and entered the house.
The door closed.
“Brother Dao, we’re just letting her in like that?”
Tang Xiaosheng tucked the envelope back into his bag, “What else do you expect to do?
The surveillance caras have caught us entering the place, and there’s one right above your head.”
The man instinctively looked up and indeed saw a black cara poised right above his head.
“So what?”
Another person next to him said unconcerned, with a vicious look, “Brother Dao, this woman is too unaware of what’s good for her.
She should be taught a lesson!
That way, she’ll be scared!”
“Bullshit!”
Tang Xiaosheng finally dropped the pretense, offended by the outright refusal, he said darkly and impatiently, “Are you trying to teach how to do my job?
Where do you think you are, in Zhijiang?
This is damn Capital City!
ss up here, and not even a god could save you!”
The n who were used to throwing their weight around in Zhijiang instantly fell silent like cicadas in winter.
“…
So Brother Dao, what do we do now?
Head back?”
“Go back?
Nobody’s fucking going anywhere until the job’s done!”
Tang Xiaosheng cursed as he entered the elevator.
The n hurriedly followed him in.
“Is the hotel booked?”
“It’s booked, Brother Dao, right across from the residential complex.”
“You lot, from now on, keep a close eye on her!”
As the elevator doors slowly closed, a gap revealed Tang Xiaosheng’s exceptionally sinister eyes.
Inside the house.
Fang Qing placed her bag on the shelf, seemingly not at all nervous.
Sure enough.
As a top graduate from the University of Political Science and Law.
A lawyer from a well-known law firm in the country.
There really was no need to worry that soone would ss with her.
After washing her hands, Fang Qing opened the fridge to start preparing dinner.
For one person, there was no need for too many dishes.
Graceful in the hall and skilled in the kitchen, that’s probably what they ant by won like her.
Efficiently she stir-fried two dishes, and just as she was about to eat, her parents unexpectedly called.
“Mom, I’m not a child anymore, I can take care of myself.
I’m eating right now, do you want a video call?”
Parents are always like this, with endless concern for their children.
“Are you and Dad keeping well?
You should co visit in Capital City when you have ti, I’ll be your tour guide.”
“Your career is just starting, your dad and I won’t disturb you.
We’ll wait until you’re more settled.
Also, make sure you get enough rest every day and don’t work too hard.”
“I know, Mom.”
“I want to talk to Qing Qing.”
Fang Weiguo’s voice ca from the other end, and then the phone was passed over.
Fang Qing held her chopsticks in one hand and her phone in the other, feeling warm inside.
Perhaps this was the aning of ho.
No matter how far apart, it can make one feel secure and give strength.
“Qing Qing.”
“Dad.”
“Are you busy with work right now?”
“It’s okay, quite fulfilling,” Fang Qing said with a gentle laugh, not ntioning that she was handling a high-profile case that was garnering public attention.
As a child, naturally, she didn’t want her parents to worry.
“How are you getting along with your colleagues?” Fang Weiguo asked with concern.
“Pretty good, people at the law firm are very friendly.
Everyone’s been taking care of , and I’ve learned a lot.”
“That’s good.”
Fang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief.
“Dad, you don’t have to worry about .
Don’t you trust your own daughter?” Fang Qing playfully said.
“Haha, of course I trust her.
I know, my daughter Fang Weiguo, is the best.”
Fang Weiguo laughed heartily.
Through the phone, Fang Qing could faintly hear her mother saying sothing to her father in a low voice.
Then Fang Weiguo cleared his throat and tentatively asked, “Qing Qing, are you eating alone right now?”
Fang Qing couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
“Dad, I’m at ho.
How could I not be alone?”
Fang Weiguo laughed a little embarrassedly, and after a mont, he added, “So, right now…”
He hesitated.
“Dad, what do you want to ask?” Fang Qing went straight to the point.
“Cough, well, I was just wondering…
Right now, do you have soone you’re interested in?
Or rather, is there soone pursuing you?
There should be lots of outstanding young n at your law firm, right?”
Fang Qing felt helpless, yet at the sa ti, she understood.
“Dad, matters of the heart are all about fate.”
Fang Weiguo was also straightforward, or perhaps he had simply heard the sa excuses too many tis.
“So you’re saying there isn’t anyone, right?”
Fang Qing remained silent.
“Qing Qing, dad isn’t trying to rush you, but as a girl, your career is certainly important, but you can’t neglect your personal life either.
You’re always in Capital City by yourself, it breaks your mom and my heart.”
“Dad, I understand what you’re saying, I’ll consider it.”
“You always say that.”
Fang Weiguo felt helpless, but when a child is grown, they are no longer under the parents’ control.
Their daughter had grown up and was especially opinionated; it wasn’t sothing they, as parents, could force.
At most, they could rely advise.
Perhaps it really was a matter of fate not having arrived yet?
“Qing Qing, have you been in contact with Jiang Chen recently?”
Fang Weiguo suddenly asked.
“Dad, I’m going to eat.”
Bringing up this topic made Fang Qing even more direct, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation.
“You child.
Alright then, go eat, rember to take care of yourself.”
The call ended.
The old couple would surely chat on for a while longer.
Fang Qing placed her phone aside and focused on eating her al.
“Ding-ling-ling…”
Not long after.
The ringtone sounded once more.
Glancing at the na on the caller ID, Fang Qing’s expression flickered slightly.
What a coincidence.
It was as if speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived.
The bite of food she had picked up dropped back onto her plate, she put down her chopsticks and picked up the phone.
“Hello.”
“I haven’t disturbed your work, have I?”
“No, but you’ve disturbed my al.”
“If you still have the ti to eat, I guess you’re doing alright.”
He laughed from the other end.
“What do you an?”
Fang Qing involuntarily frowned.
Perhaps only when facing this guy did she show such an intimidating expression.
“You’ve taken Guan Libing’s case, haven’t you?
Fang the lawyer, you are truly bold and decisive, my admiration for you flows endlessly like the mighty river…”
Fang Qing cut him off directly, “Tong Dan told you?”
“I guessed.”
Comrade Jiang Chen had principles and wouldn’t gossip about others lightly.
“If you called just to say this, then I’m hanging up.
You know, lawyers charge for conversations, so I’m not good at small talk.”
“Tsk.”
Jiang Chen wasn’t annoyed; on the contrary, it was the kind of laugh that made one involuntarily flare up.
“Really, becoming an official lawyer has indeed changed you.
Tell , how do you charge?
I’ll buy ten minutes of your ti.”
“Sorry, I’m off work now, my personal ti isn’t for sale.”
Jiang Chen smiled wryly.
“Fang the lawyer, that’s not very dedicated of you.
Many top lawyers work around the clock.”
“Are you done?
If so, I’m hanging up, I have other things to do.”
Jiang Chen cleared his throat, shedding the frivolous tone.
“Your client, that Guan Libing, does he owe money to loan sharks?”
“Sorry, that’s my client’s private matter, I cannot disclose that.”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Fang Qing, enough with that, everyone on the internet already knows.
I don’t an anything by this, I just want to let you know that I don’t object to you taking this case, but you should stay out of other matters connected to this case.”
Fang Qing detected so subtext, “What do you an?”
“Just listen to .”
Jiang Chen’s voice was gentle, yet offered no explanation.
Although he could indeed use this case to expose the dark dealings of Jieyou Loan, he would never use Fang Qing as a tool, nor would he drag her into such a whirlwind.
But little did Jiang Chen know, she was already caught in the midst of the vortex.
“I’m just a lawyer.”
After a mont of silence, Fang Qing spoke up.
“I wish you success.
Keep it up.”
Jiang Chen smiled casually.
“By the way, I might co to Capital City in the next couple of days, I’ll co see you then.”
Fang Qing did not respond imdiately, but the corners of her mouth and her eyebrows both twitched faintly and involuntarily.
“Ok, got it.”
“Goodbye.”
Jiang Chen hung up first, decidedly.
Fang Qing put down her phone, couldn’t help but chuckle, muttered sothing under her breath, and then picked up her chopsticks again.
The dishes had grown cold, but she seed not to notice, savoring her al alone with relish.
