PDLP Chapter 238 Strange Woman
Chapter 238 Strange Woman
Ye Wanqing carefully looked at the two uninvited guests in front of her. Although their behavior seemed well-educated, their current actions were a bit unusual. She had some guesses in her mind that perhaps they really had found the wrong person.
"Excuse me, did you get the wrong person?" There was a subtle hint of caution and doubt in Ye Wanqing's voice.
Before he finished speaking, one of the young women rushed forward and grabbed the railing of the iron gate with both hands. The force was so great that it seemed as if she was going to break it.
"Ms. Ye, I am Li Xiaohui's wife. He... he was confused for a moment. Please have mercy on him and give him a chance to start a new life!"
As she finished her words, the iron gate made a deafening noise as she pushed it open. Ye Wanqing was involuntarily shocked by the sudden force and took a few steps back, with a hint of astonishment in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the woman, disregarding her image, knelt outside the iron gate, her hands clasped together, her eyes filled with pleading: "Ms. Ye, I kowtow to you here, and I only ask that you be so kind as to sign the letter of understanding!"
Ye Wanqing watched the scene unfold with mixed emotions. These two people were well-dressed, their manners revealing a well-educated aura, but their current actions were in stark contrast to their appearance.
She is not a heartless person, but she is not easily swayed by emotions.
What happened that night is still vivid in their minds. Li Xiaohui was one of the people who stopped the car. Their behavior caused great panic to Ye Wanqing and Qin Zhuyu.
Especially Qin Zhuyu, who still feels scared when she thinks of that night.
Ye Wanqing took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone calm: "You should find a professional lawyer instead of coming to me. I have made it clear that I will not accept a settlement."
Her words were calm and resolute, her face showing no sign of wavering.
The woman kneeling on the ground turned pale instantly when she heard this, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked up at Ye Wanqing, her eyes full of despair and helplessness:
"Ms. Ye, I know I was wrong. He was really instigated by his friends that night. He didn't do anything! Our children are still so young, and the family depends entirely on him. If he really goes to jail, our family will be ruined!"
When she was moved, the woman began to sob. The other woman next to her also looked anxious and kept comforting her.
"Ms. Ye, just tell us, we are willing to pay any amount of money! We only ask that you let him go and sign the letter of understanding!" There was a hint of tears in the woman's voice, and her tone was full of pleading.
Ye Wanqing looked at them coldly, the umbrella in her hand tilted slightly to block the glaring sunlight:
"I've already told you that I've handed this matter over to my lawyer. Even if you kneel here, it won't make any sense."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and tried to leave. The woman's voice rang out again from behind her, with a hint of urgency and reluctance: "Ms. Ye, please, please name a price! We are really willing to compensate you, but we only ask that you give us a chance!"
Ye Wanqing stopped, frowning, with a hint of impatience in her tone:
"Compensation? My car was smashed beyond recognition, and Qin Zhuyu was frightened. These are things that cannot be measured by money. Besides, I'm not short of money. No amount of compensation can make up for what we went through that night."
"But..." The woman seemed to want to say something, but her sleeve was gently pulled by her companion beside her.
"Let's go." The companion's voice was low and helpless, with a hint of compromise with reality.
The woman kneeling on the ground was stunned for a moment, and finally she could only slowly stand up, wiping the tears from her cheeks, while grabbing the iron gate railing reluctantly, as if she wanted to make a final effort.
However, when she saw Ye Wanqing's determined back, all her hopes vanished. She turned silently and, along with her companions, slowly disappeared from Ye Wanqing's sight.
At ten forty-five, Lin Xuan had just finished a lengthy meeting and stepped out of the conference room door when he saw Zhao Yu walking towards him anxiously, his expression revealing an unusual nervousness.
"Mr. Lin." There was a hint of urgency in Zhao Yu's voice.
Lin Xuan stopped and looked at Zhao Yu. This time, his tone was no longer as cold as before, but more concerned: "What happened?"
Zhao Yu didn't seem to notice the change in Lin Xuan's tone. He said anxiously, "Boss Lin, one of the family members of the group that caused trouble that night somehow found Miss Ye's address and has just gone to look for her."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's brows furrowed, his expression darkening. He turned to look at Manager Zhang, who had just approached, and quickly instructed, "You are responsible for receiving the people sent by Huanyu."
"Mr. Lin, what are you doing--" Before Manager Zhang could finish his words, Lin Xuan had already turned around and strode towards the elevator, leaving only a hurried back.
Manager Zhang turned to look at Zhao Yu, bewildered: "Where is Mr. Lin in such a hurry to go?"
Zhao Yu responded with a somewhat helpless professional smile: "Boss Lin has some personal matters to attend to."
"Okay." Manager Zhang touched his chin and muttered doubtfully, "Don't the people from Huanyu arrive until eleven o'clock?"
"Yes, eleven o'clock." Zhao Yu nodded in confirmation.
"Then tell Dawei to pick someone up downstairs at 11 o'clock sharp," Manager Zhang instructed.
"Okay, Manager Zhang." Zhao Yu replied.
Just as he took a step forward, Manager Zhang suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead: "Hey, I'm here to see Mr. Lin too!"
But now Lin Xuan was gone, and he could only swallow back the words he hadn't spoken yet. Manager Zhang shook his head helplessly, turned around, and returned to the elevator and went back to his office.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had already headed straight for the underground parking lot. After getting in the car, he quickly put on his Bluetooth headset and called Zhang Zhengye, the lawyer in charge of Ye Wanqing's case.
After the call was connected, Zhang Zhengye's voice was filled with surprise: "Mr. Lin? Why are you calling me suddenly?"
"How is the case progressing?" Lin Xuan's voice was calm and steady.
"The court just sent a notice that the summons has been delivered to the family of the troublemaker." Zhang Zhengye replied.
Zhang Zhengye paused, as if he realized something: "Boss Lin, has something happened to Miss Ye?"
"A family member of the troublemaker found Ye Wanqing's address and went to see her today." Lin Xuan briefly explained the situation.
Although this kind of thing is not uncommon, Lin Xuan had previously made it clear that they were fully responsible for this case and Ye Wanqing would not appear again. Unexpectedly, the other party's family still found Ye Wanqing.
Zhang Zhengye's heart tightened when he heard this, fearing that Lin Xuan would blame him for his incompetence. He quickly explained, "I'll send someone to Miss Ye right away. This is a good opportunity for us to collect some evidence..."
"No need, I'm on my way over, they should have left." Lin Xuan interrupted Zhang Zhengye.
As the car drove out of the parking lot, Lin Xuan stared coldly at the intersection ahead and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I don't want this to happen again."
After saying that, he took off the Bluetooth headset and ended the call.
Lin Xuan personally called Zhang Zhengye, and it was clear that this matter had attracted his high attention. Zhang Zhengye did not dare to neglect it and immediately arranged for someone to verify what Lin Xuan said.
Meanwhile, Ye Wanqing had just gotten up. Having slept so well last night, she woke up a little late. After breakfast, it was already half past ten.
After sending off the two women who came to see her, Ye Wanqing thought about it and decided to place an order for groceries online. She planned to cook a hearty lunch herself.
Shortly after placing the order, the doorbell rang. Ye Wanqing was somewhat surprised at the speed of Meituan's delivery. She got up and went downstairs to open the door.
When I walked to the garden gate, I saw Lin Xuan standing in front of the gate.
He looked particularly handsome in his well-tailored casual clothes.
Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she walked over and opened the door: "Hey, isn't this President Lin? How come you have time to come to my place? Did you skip work?"
Lin Xuan looked at Ye Wanqing in front of him, his eyes fell on her upturned mouth corners, and he felt relieved.
He smiled slightly and said, "The meeting is over. I happened to be passing by here, so I came to see you."
As he spoke, he subconsciously reached out to hold Ye Wanqing's hand.
Ye Wanqing tilted her hand and looked at him with a half-smile: "Today is Monday, isn't the company busy?"
Lin Xuan glanced at his empty hands, a flicker of embarrassment flashing through his mind, but he quickly regained his composure: "Not really."
"Then I'm busy." Ye Wanqing retracted her gaze and turned to walk into the villa.
Lin Xuan followed behind her, his eyes full of pampering and helplessness.
