Chapter 80 - 80: Bring Father Here to Apologize
Mr. Song was rendered speechless again.
He sighed deeply and placed his palms together in an old-fashioned posture in front of the table. “How about this, Lu Haiqiao? I don’t care what the truth is, but it’s a fact that you were taken away by the police yesterday.
“Only the people in the same office building are laughing at us now, and it hasn’t reached the ears of our peers yet, but in this age, some things can spread very quickly. This industry is already very competitive. If our reputation is tarnished, our magazine agency won’t be able to survive anymore.
“So, I hope you… Well…. What about you…”
Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the office door. The people outside were all talking.
Mr. Song said irritably, “Who is it?”
The assistant outside the door replied, “Mr. Song, a few police officers are here.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Song frowned.
Why were the police here again?
It must be because Lu Haiqiao’s matter yesterday hadn’t been resolved, so he came to arrest her today.
As he thought about it, his face darkened, and he glared at Lu Haiqiao. “It’s you again!”
After saying this, the CEO stood up, opened the door, and walked out of the office to see what had happened.
Lu Haiqiao followed behind expressionlessly.
In the middle of the office area, a man in uniform stood upright with his hands behind his back. Beside him was a middle-aged man in a black suit and a young man with his head lowered.
There were also a few police officers at the side.
Mr. Song recognized him at a glance. The person in the middle was the police chief, Qin Liyan.
He immediately smiled obsequiously. He stretched out his hands and said as he walked, “Welcome, Director Qin. What brings you here? I’m so flattered…” Hearing the voice, Qin Liyan nodded slightly and walked over at the same time.
When Mr. Song thought they were going to shake their hands, he suddenly felt a gust of wind beside him.
Stunned, he turned around.
Qin Liyan had no intention of greeting him. After brushing past him, he walked straight to Lu Haiqiao.
Mr. Song awkwardly stretched out his hand and stood rooted to the ground.
“Hello, Miss Lu. I’m Qin Liyan. Mr. Pan Ning is the plaintiff in the assault case. This is his father, Pan Youcheng. I brought them here today to apologize to you.”
Lu Haiqiao was dumbfounded.
She had sent Qin Liyan a WeChat message just now, saying that her boss wanted to cause trouble for her because of what happened yesterday, but that was only three to four minutes ago. Qin Liyan seemed to have been prepared for this…
And what did he just call her?
Miss Lu?
Didn’t he always call her Qiaoqiao in the past?
Why was he so polite today?
“Uncle Qin, why are you here so quickly?” She blinked and leaned forward slightly as she whispered.
Qin Liyan raised his eyebrows at her but didn’t explain. Instead, he turned around and said to the middle-aged man in the black suit, “Mr. Pan, this is
Miss Lu, the young lady who was wrongfully accused.”
He deliberately emphasized the words “wrongfully accused”.
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
The police chief had brought the plaintiff to apologize to the defendant?
Even if they had caught the wrong person, wasn’t this a little too much?
Amidst the astonishment, Pan Youcheng walked up to Lu Haiqiao and bowed. “Miss Lu, I’m Pan Ning’s father. I’m very sorry about what happened yesterday..”
