In order to show his sincerity, Qin Haozhi gave a formal bow towards Gu Ning. “Thank you, Miss Gu. Thank you so much for what you’ve done for me and my family.”
“You don’t need to do that, Uncle Qin,” Gu Ning said and stopped Qin Haozhi.
After that, they continued to talk with each other in the living room.
Gu Ning finally had the chance to tell Qin Haozhi about everything after he was taken away by the police.
Gu Ning told him that they found a box with several gold bars, an ownership certificate, a key and a check for two hundred thousand yuan inside in his safe. When she told him that, she took out the box from her backpack (telepathic eye space) and gave it to Qin Haozhi.
Qin Haozheng didn’t know about that until now, but he didn’t blame Gu Ning for keeping it a secret from him.
Qin Haozhi, however, was furious the second he saw the familiar box. He regarded Shen Guangli as his old friend, but Shen Guangli betrayed him. At the same time, he felt sad too, because he lost someone he always considered as an old friend. He had to accept that he had no real friends in politics. His old friends could easily betray him to gain advantage.
Other than that, Shen Guangli was also guilty of bribery and corruption. He had paid for sex and left many nude pictures.
Qin Haozhi realized that he had a wrong opinion about Shen Guangli for a long time.
Afterwards, Gu Ning talked about Zhao Hongwen.
Zhao Hongwen had a long-standing grudge against Qin Haozhi, so Qin Haozhi wasn’t surprised that Zhao Hongwen tried to unseat him, but he was indeed astonished by the method that Zhao Hongwen used.
Anyway, what had already happened couldn’t be changed, and Qin Haozhi felt lucky that he had Gu Ning’s help this time.
“Zhao Hongwen is doomed to fail, and the man behind his back doesn’t dare to help him out,” Gu Ning said in the end.
“Well, they asked for it themselves. Although there are still many corrupt officials in our country, not every one of them is harmful. Some still do good things for the people, so the administration turns a blind eye on them, but sometimes they still need a warning,” Qin Haozhi said. He was clearly aware of the rules in politics.
Gu Ning understood it as well, so did other people, but it was unacceptable in Qin Zixun’s eyes and he suddenly had the idea of giving up politics.
“Miss Gu, I need to thank you again for your help.” Qin Haozhi repeatedly thanked Gu Ning, but he didn’t think it was enough.
“You’re my close friend’s father, so I absolutely have to do something to help you if I can,” Gu Ning said.
She left a very good impression on the Qin family. Qin Haozhi wanted to thank Gu Ning with something concrete, but he didn’t know what he should send her. Gu Ning was a very successful businesswoman after all, so it would be meaningless if he gave her money. Therefore, Qin Haozhi decided to talk about it with his family later when Gu Ning was gone.
After a short while, the meal was ready, and they enjoyed it together.
During lunch, every member of the Qin family thanked Gu Ning with wine.
Gu Ning told them not to be so polite, but they insisted on doing that.
When it was Qin Yiqing’s turn, she took a long breath in and seemed stressed, but she still stood up and said to Gu Ning, “Miss Gu, I should apologize for what I’ve said and done to you before. I was too stupid back then. I know that you’re very kind and tolerant, and you probably don’t mind it at all, but I still need to make an apology. I’m sorry.”
After that, Qin Yiqing made a bow to Gu Ning, and Gu Ning didn’t stop her.
Although she indeed didn’t mind it, she was willing to accept Qin Yiqing’s apology so that Qin Yiqing could feel better. “I accept your apology, and please don’t blame yourself anymore. Let bygones be bygones.”
“Thank you, Miss Gu.” Qin Yiqing felt relieved and smiled. “Oh, I should thank you again for saving my uncle this time!”
Gu Ning raised her glass and clinked against Qin Yiqing’s glass, then had a drink.
After lunch, they went to have a rest. Qin Zixun shared the good news with Chu Peihan and his other friends in case his friends were still worried about him.
Knowing that Qin Zixun’s father was fine now, Chu Peihan and the others felt happy for him, but they still wanted to gather together with Gu Ning once before she left City F.
Gu Ning agreed to have a meal together with them today, because she needed to leave City F the next day.
She left the Qin family later, and planned to have a nap at home before she went to meet her friends this afternoon. She believed that Xiao Changchun would handle the case well, so there was no need for her to be involved any longer.
Qin Yifan wanted to drive Gu Ning home, but Gu Ning said that she could take a taxi herself. On her way back home, she saw a group of people outside a shopping mall.
It aroused her curiosity, so she used her Jade Eyes to see what was in the center of the crowd, then she noticed a woman squatting in the middle and onlookers were discussing it. Two naughty kids were even throwing rubbish to her, but nobody stopped them. The woman was scared and cried in fear.
Gu Ning recognized her by a simple glance. The woman was Lin Lijuan.
Gu Ning frowned. Why was Lin Lijuan alone here without her family by her side?
