Zhao Wanqing sighed softly and replied in a low voice, "The verdict for that case has been handed down."
Jiang Ping frowned and asked, "Just for that?"
"Of course, it's not just that," Zhao Wanqing shook her head gently. "Because I firmly refused to accept compensation and reconcile with the other party, the driver's sentence was relatively long. So his father has come to hate me, and I didn't expect him to bring people to cause trouble at my door."
In Jiang Ping's view, Qian Yongchang's actions were not surprising, but he pursued, "How many years was that guy sentenced to?"
Zhao Wanqing whispered, "Five years."
In fact, in Jiang Ping's opinion, Qian Jing's drunk driving, causing a fatal accident, and fleeing the scene fully met the criteria for a traffic offense. Even a seven-year sentence would be lenient. With a five-year sentence, it was clearly the result of Qian Yongchang's influence. Moreover, Jiang Ping believed that once Qian Jing began serving his sentence, his wealthy father would certainly launch a new round of activities. This guy might not even serve half his sentence before he could be released early to continue harming others.
However, Jiang Ping did not voice his thoughts. He only said softly to Zhao Wanqing, "Don't take that guy's words to heart. Your wound has completely healed. In a few days, I'll come to apply the medicine for you. At most, it will take three treatments, and I guarantee you'll look as if you were never injured!"
If Jiang Ping had said this when they first met, Zhao Wanqing would not have believed him. But after witnessing Jiang Ping soothing his daughter to sleep and accurately diagnosing her father's coronary heart disease, Zhao Wanqing had increasing confidence in this young man.
Zhao Wanqing, who had just been mocked, wanted to restore her original appearance more than ever before. So she didn't think twice and nodded firmly, "Okay, I'll wait for your news!"
Seeing Zhao Wanqing regain her zest for life, Jiang Ping nodded in relief and then asked softly, "Where's Jiajia? Why haven't I seen her?"
"The elderly couple next door took her to the park," Zhao Wanqing said, relieved. "It's a good thing she wasn't at home, or she would have been terrified just now."
Jiang Ping nodded in agreement. Jiajia's condition had just improved, and it was best she didn't witness such a scene.
"Old Su has been contacted," Zhao Guoquan came out of the study with a smile and said to the two of them. "He was very angry when he heard about this and said he would come over soon to call Qian Yongchang and warn him not to cause any more trouble!"
From Zhao Guoquan's words, it was clear that his friend Old Su was a very influential person, capable of warning Qian Yongchang not to act recklessly. This also surprised Jiang Ping.
Seeing Jiang Ping's expression, Zhao Wanqing whispered, "Uncle Su's name is Su Moran. He's my father's old friend. In recent years, his business has spread throughout the province, and his company is much larger than Qian Yongchang's. With him warning Qian Yongchang, that guy should calm down a bit."
When Zhao Wanqing mentioned "Su Moran," Jiang Ping was also somewhat surprised. He had heard this name in the future, and it was definitely well-known. Su Moran owned a vast business empire, with interests in real estate, entertainment, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, and education, and had appeared multiple times on the list of domestic billionaires.
Only then did Jiang Ping realize that Zhao Guoquan had such a powerful friend in the business world. It seemed that even in his current困境, he was not to be underestimated. This was actually to be expected, given Zhao Guoquan's long career in politics. Having connections was normal; it would be strange if he didn't.
However, what Jiang Ping was more concerned about at the moment was not Su Moran's situation but Zhao Wanqing, who was right beside him. At that moment, the two were very close, and Jiang Ping could smell the faint fragrance from Zhao Wanqing and hear her whispering in his ear. For a moment, he was truly distracted.
Fortunately, Jiang Ping had strong self-control and quickly banished those romantic thoughts from his mind. He smiled at Zhao Wanqing and said, "This is the best approach. To deal with a nouveau riche like Qian Yongchang, you need someone even wealthier!"
Zhao Wanqing just smiled without comment. She knew that Su Moran was not a nouveau riche like Qian Yongchang. However, there was no need to tell Jiang Ping this; it was enough for him to know that Qian Yongchang wouldn't cause trouble in the future.
As they were talking, the police arrived, but Qian Yongchang and his group had already left. Zhao Guoquan had no intention of pursuing the matter further, so the police officer stayed for a short while and then left.
After the police left, Jiang Ping asked Zhao Guoquan and his daughter about Jiajia's condition. Both were very grateful to Jiang Ping. Zhao Guoquan told Jiang Ping that since his last visit, his granddaughter's condition had improved day by day. Recently, she had almost fully recovered and was even brave enough to sleep alone again.
At this, Zhao Guoquan couldn't help but sigh, "The doctor was right. It's all thanks to Jiang Ping for giving Jiajia a sense of security, which has helped her recover!"
Zhao Wanqing also nodded gently, "I think the agarwood Jiang Ping gave also helped Jiajia a lot. It really has a calming effect."
In fact, Jiang Ping knew that the most important factor in Jiajia's rapid recovery was the hypnotherapy he had performed. Of course, he wouldn't reveal this; he just smiled and said, "Actually, whatever the reason, the most important thing is that Jiajia has recovered."
Zhao Guoquan and his daughter both nodded in agreement. As they were discussing Jiajia, the elderly couple next door brought her back.
The little girl was overjoyed to see Jiang Ping and clung to him, unwilling to leave his side. At first, Zhao Wanqing was worried that Jiang Ping might find her daughter annoying, but seeing him play happily with Jiajia, she was relieved.
After receiving Zhao Guoquan's call, Su Moran hurried over, and Jiang Ping finally met this business tycoon.
Su Moran was about the same age as Zhao Guoquan, but his hair was still jet black, indicating that he took good care of himself. He wore a pair of old-fashioned glasses, a traditional Chinese suit, and even a pair of cloth shoes, giving him the air of an old-fashioned intellectual. However, Jiang Ping noticed that Su Moran's eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp gaze, revealing that he was not as mild-mannered as he appeared.
Su Moran clearly had a good relationship with the Zhao family. As soon as he entered, he greeted Zhao Guoquan, and Zhao Wanqing hurried to make him tea. Even Jiajia, who had been clinging to Jiang Ping, sweetly called him "Grandpa Su."
"Jiajia is such a good girl!" Su Moran praised the little girl with a smile, then looked at Jiang Ping, who had stood up, and said, "You must be Jiang Ping. Old Zhao told me everything on the phone. You've really helped him a lot!"
