Chapter 71

It was only then that Jiang Ping realized that Zhao Wanqing was also at home, but she had been in the bedroom making a call to the police. No wonder he hadn’t seen her when he first came in.

Upon hearing that Zhao Wanqing had already called the police, Qian Yongchang and his group all changed their expressions. This time, it was he who had led the group to cause trouble at Zhao Guoquan’s doorstep, and he was clearly in the wrong. If the police really caught them, there would definitely be trouble. Although Qian Yongchang had some connections in the government, he certainly wasn’t powerful enough to cover up everything. To resolve such a problem, he would have to use his network of relationships, which would mean owing favors to others. Qian Yongchang didn’t want to beg for help over such a matter, as it would be embarrassing to talk about.

After all, he had already vented his anger today, and it felt like he had let out some of his frustration. Moreover, Jiang Ping had suddenly appeared, and staying any longer wouldn’t make much sense. So, Qian Yongchang immediately made a decision, waving his hand at the others and saying, "Let's go!"

When Zhao Wanqing saw Qian Yongchang and his group leave, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was a mature woman, not a naive young girl, and she didn’t have the naive idea that she could bring Qian Yongchang to justice. In her view, scaring them away was already very lucky. Her loud warning to Qian Yongchang and his group not to leave was just a show of bravado.

Originally, with Qian Yongchang and his group gone, the matter would have been temporarily resolved. However, one of Qian Yongchang’s subordinates felt that being scared away by a woman would be very embarrassing, and he caused more trouble before leaving.

This guy deliberately stayed behind, looking at Zhao Wanqing with a cold smile and saying, "They say ugly people are often troublemakers, and it’s true! You, a scarred and ugly woman, actually dared to call the police. Just wait, you’ll see what’s coming for you!"

These words cruelly tore open the unhealed wound in Zhao Wanqing’s heart, exposing her bleeding wound to everyone. Although Zhao Wanqing thought she was already very strong, she felt her eyes well up with tears, and she staggered back two steps, almost falling.

Jiang Ping, who was standing next to Zhao Wanqing, quickly supported her, but he saw that this mature woman’s eyes were filled with tears, which made her even more charming.

Hearing someone mock his daughter, Zhao Guoquan’s face turned red with anger, and he kept muttering, "How can this be, how can this be!"

This scene made Jiang Ping feel that he had to do something, otherwise, he would be in a bad mood for several days. So, although Zhao Wanqing’s waist was well-proportioned and felt very good, Jiang Ping didn’t hesitate to let go of her and rushed straight toward the guy who had spoken rudely.

The guy never expected that one sentence would provoke the other party to take action. At first, he didn’t react, but when Jiang Ping rushed to him, he raised his fist to hit him.

However, Jiang Ping’s movements were much faster. Just as the guy raised his fist, Jiang Ping’s knee struck his abdomen hard. The guy felt a sharp pain and involuntarily bent over.

Jiang Ping took the opportunity to grab the guy’s collar and slapped him several times, left and right. The guy’s mouth bled, his cheeks turned red, and his face swelled visibly.

"Speak out of turn again, and I’ll knock out all your teeth!" Jiang Ping warned him coldly, then pushed him to the ground and said, "Get lost!"

The guy, unwilling to be beaten for nothing, was about to say something tough. But when he met Jiang Ping’s cold gaze, he involuntarily trembled and ran away without saying a word.

Qian Yongchang, who was ahead, saw his subordinate being beaten and was originally planning to come back to support him. But seeing that the victim didn’t seem to have any temper, he pretended not to know and let it pass. After all, it was just a subordinate, and Qian Yongchang didn’t plan to stand up for him.

Watching the guy run out of the building in a sorry state, Jiang Ping, still angry, couldn’t help but curse, "A bunch of trash!"

For any woman, being disfigured is a very painful thing, especially for a beautiful woman like Zhao Wanqing. What was most infuriating was that Zhao Wanqing’s current condition was due to Qian Jing, and this guy actually dared to use this to provoke Zhao Wanqing. Not beating him up would have been unacceptable.

As Jiang Ping stood at the door, sneering at Qian Yongchang and his group, Zhao Wanqing was staring at his back in a daze. Although Zhao Wanqing was past the age of liking boys to fight for her, she felt that Jiang Ping’s actions against that scoundrel were incredibly cool.

At that moment, Zhao Wanqing almost forgot that Jiang Ping was much younger than her. Instead, she felt that he was so mature and reliable that she even had the illusion that he was older than her. Looking at Jiang Ping’s tall and straight back, Zhao Wanqing felt her cheeks flush, and her heart seemed to beat faster.

If Jiang Ping knew what Zhao Wanqing was thinking, he would be surprised by women’s keen intuition. He was a high school student with the soul of an uncle, and if you counted his mental age, he was indeed more mature than Zhao Wanqing.

Zhao Guoquan was a kind-hearted man. Although he felt that Jiang Ping’s actions were very satisfying, he was more worried about him and couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Jiang, if you hit someone, won’t they come after you?"

Zhao Guoquan’s words brought Zhao Wanqing back to her senses, and she reminded herself, "Zhao Wanqing, what are you thinking? He’s much younger than you!"

To cover up her embarrassment, Zhao Wanqing also said anxiously, "Yes, those people are unreasonable. If you hit them, they will definitely hold a grudge against you!"

In fact, Jiang Ping knew this, but with his “good cousin” around, Qian Yongchang had already held a grudge against him, so whether he had hit someone or not didn’t matter.

However, Jiang Ping didn’t say this, but rather said angrily, "That guy’s words were too infuriating, I couldn’t help it! If he holds a grudge, so be it!"

The more Jiang Ping said this, the more embarrassed Zhao Guoquan and his daughter felt. Zhao Guoquan was silent for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I’ll call Old Su right now, and I’ll make sure he helps with this!"

Hearing that Zhao Guoquan was going to ask an old friend for help, Zhao Wanqing was greatly surprised. She knew that her father was a very proud man and had never asked anyone for help, even though he had been having a hard time in the past two years. Today, he was breaking his own principles for Jiang Ping, which showed how much he valued this young man.

After saying this, Zhao Guoquan went to the study to make the call, leaving Jiang Ping and his daughter in the living room. Being alone with Jiang Ping made Zhao Wanqing’s expression somewhat unnatural, but fortunately, Jiang Ping quickly broke the small awkwardness, "Sister Wanqing, why did these people come to cause trouble?"
