President, Please Be Careful
241

Mighty Secretary Xia who had eavesdropped on the side could not bear to watch this anymore. He covered his face, and he thought to himself, 'President, you have caused a number of precedents that resulted in today's tragedy, do you know that? Although I know your so-called Madam is somewhat intentional, it seems like you will never be able to escape the former Madam President's complaint about this for the rest of your life. Amen!'

“The reason why I acted “coward” is because of my family situation which I guess you now know better than me, right, Mr Qin? Living in such a state where my stepmother and stepbrother were evil women, while my real father turned a blind eye to me, I had to pretend to look weak in order to survive. After I grew up, only then did I have the ability to fight back. Otherwise, I will be long dead.”

"But ..." Qin Huai was about to speak, but Zhao Youlin did not give him the opportunity to do so.

“In fact, during the days I stayed at the Zhao family home after my mother died, I always hoped to return to that place to regain all my possessions and avenge my mother. Therefore, I bear the humiliation. I pretended to look weak and pitiful on the surface to protect myself, while learning various martial skills from a great master secretly, including the use of firearms and other weapons. I am doing this all because I want to leave the Zhao family home someday so that I no longer have to be under the mercy of anyone.”

Zhao Youlin raised her chin in satisfaction, trying her best to sound more credible, “Actually, it has been proven that my dormancy over the years is beneficial. Now, I am most likely the heir to take over my family business among the descendants of the Zhao family. I am the general manager of the Zhao Enterprise, and am entitled to supreme power. I am not under anyone's control or threat. This is my answer to your question, Mr. Qin. Are you satisfied with them?”

Zhao Youlin's reason was a little exaggerated. When he was at the Zhao family home, it was already difficult for him to get out of that situation, let alone find someone to teach him martial skills under Li Hongyu and the strict supervision of his men.

However, things go like this in this world. Not everything you refuse to believe is a lie, and not everything you believe is the truth.

Qin Huai had asked for an explanation from her, and she helped him. Regardless of whether her explanation was real or fake, it was all up to her if she believed him. Besides, it has nothing to do with him.

"But, all this ..." Qin Huai's eyes met Zhao Youlin's eyes that were filled with resolution. A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"But what? Do you think I'm lying, or do you think none of these are true just because they weren't in your findings?!”

Zhao Youlin faced him aggressively. Qin Huai could not help but back off a little even though he insisted on this, "I.e., I didn't mean this."

"Oh?" Zhao Youlin raised an eyebrow, "Master. Qin, if that's not what you mean? Then what do you mean exactly? Mr Qin, you keep connecting me with the late Officer Zhao, is it because you think he looks like me, or do you think I am him?”

“A-me...”

"Mr Qin..!” Zhao Youlin shouted, and she interrupted Qin Huai's explanation, “I don't care what your relationship with Officer Zhao is, nor do I care about the reasons that make you believe that I am related to her. I'd just like to tell you that, when someone dies, that's all. Stop having unrealistic imaginations. I am I. I am not someone else. Master Qin, I hope you remember this. Since you want to be my friend, please do not repeat such foolish mistakes in the future. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind losing a friend like you!”

While talking about this, Zhao Youlin swung her hand that had been grasped by Qin Huai without hesitation. Then, he turned his hands back and pushed Qin Huai until he stumbled a few steps back.

After which, he tidied up his disheveled clothes casually. He sneered, “Master. Qin, is there anything else you want to say? If not, I need to move now. I've been dealing with accident after accident since this morning. It's a bad day for me.”

It took some time for Qin Huai to regain his balance. He looked like he had lost his soul, and did not seem to hear what Zhao Youlin said.

Seeing no answer from him, Zhao Youlin furrowed her brows. Without saying anything more, he turned around and left without looking back.

He bent his body, and his back hit the wall behind him. He stared at the white ceiling above him, and he looked puzzled.

For a moment, Qin Huai deeply felt that the wall in his heart that he had painstakingly built had collapsed.

Her normally soft and excited eyes drooped slightly, implying a heart-wrenching seclusion and sadness.

Just then, Xia Zhetao who had been eavesdropping on their conversation in the corner, frowned. He hesitated for a moment before he turned around and headed towards Mu Tingfeng's ward.

Zhao Youlin tried hard to keep her pace smooth. No one knew how agitated he was as he turned around in fear that he would reveal something at the last moment that would arouse suspicion. He was even more afraid that Qin Huai would stop him at that moment and make another shocking comment. Fortunately, as soon as he stepped out of the corridor, Qin Huai did not speak anymore.

He walked forwards stiffly for about ten minutes. After making sure that Qin Huai did not follow him, Zhao Youlin stopped in the middle of the road, and she ran and hid in a corner in an instant. He laid his back against the wall, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

No one knew how nervous he was when he said those seemingly confident and reassuring words.

Fortunately, facts are too far-fetched outside of reality so they can be woven. Fortunately, although Qin Huai looked aggressive on the surface, he was also not confident. When he yelled at her, she managed to trick him. Otherwise, he also wondered if he could talk out of such a situation.

After she calmed down, Zhao Youlin remembered whether she had known Qin Huai in the past, or had they ... have met before?

Zhao Youlin pondered over it, but failed to recall any interactions between herself and Qin Huai in the past. How could Qin Huai be so sensitive as to even connect two people who have no relationship with each other?

Zhao Youlin had been thinking about it for quite some time, still, she was unable to identify the cause. While he was frustrated over the matter, a familiar voice sounded from the side. Zhao Youlin was surprised, and she shivered.

"General manager."

Zhao Youlin flinched forward, straightened her body, and she looked in the direction, only to be met with Xiao Jingyao's bewildered gaze.

"Uncle Xiao ..."

Xiao Jingyao walked over to Zhao Youlin's side. Looking at his deathly pale face, he asked anxiously, “What happened to you? Do you feel uncomfortable? How about your wound..”.

Zhao Youlin had just taken Mu Tingfeng away without hesitation. Seeing this, Xiao Jingyao knew he was destined to stay up late to settle the remains of the case. Therefore, he did not accompany Zhao Youulin for his medical examination, and he did not know the slightest bit about Zhao Youlin's injuries. When he saw her troubled expression, he was a little worried.

"I'm doing fine. This was only a light wound," After making sure the person was not Qin Huai, Zhao Youlin quickly calmed down, "Uncle Xiao, how is the situation at the police station?"
