Chapter 423: Grandpa Qin

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

When Tang Xi and Qiao Liang arrived at the police station, Grandpa Qin had been waiting for them for a long time already. Seeing Tang Xi and her bodyguard, Grandpa Qin stood up and gazed deeply at Tang Xi.

Tang Xi had seen Grandpa Qin before. Although he was not very kind to her, he was not harsh to her. Tang Xi took Qin Xinying as her friend before, so she respected her grandfather and was polite to him. She even gave him many precious presents. Every time she gave him a present, he would just take it and give her a strange look. She didn’t understand that look back then, but now after she came back to life and gained the power that 008 gave her, she finally understood that he took her… as an idiot. An idiot that was easily manipulated by his granddaughter.

Tang Xi also looked at Grandpa Qin and didn’t greet him like before but remained silent.

Grandpa Qin looked deeply at Tang Xi. Seeing that her attitude was completely different from before, he narrowed his eyes. Last night he received the embassy’s call and they told him that his granddaughter was arrested by the police because she had assaulted Tang Xi. He knew it would be problematic, so he took a flight to Paris overnight. When he arrived, he found that the problem was even bigger than he imagined.

His granddaughter not only assaulted Tang Xi but also attempted to murder Tang Xi. As affirmed by the embassy, the message proving what she did was copied from the cell phone of the actress named Xu Fang. As far as he knew, the original message had been destroyed. How did the police get this copy?

And… he had seen the surveillance video of the airport. Qin Xinying did assault Tang Xi…

If it hadn’t been for that surveillance video, he could let Qin Xinying walk out of the police station safe and sound, because the police didn’t have any proof except Tang Xi’s testimony. But it was a different story with the existence of this video. He couldn’t deny the facts… and it was said that someone had taken a copy of the surveillance video from the airport. He didn’t even need to think about it. It must be Tang Xi.

Tang Xi gave a cold smile when she noticed Grandpa Qin kept rolling his eyes. This old fox was different from Qin Xinying’s father, Qin Benyuan. He was good at thinking and would try to find her weak points, but she was afraid he would be disappointed this time. She wouldn’t be persuaded by him. Otherwise, what she did yesterday would be totally meaningless.

“Xixi.” Grandpa Qin finally spoke.

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. It was the first time Qin Yue spoke so “kindly” to her. She turned up the corner of her mouth and asked, “Yes, Grandpa Qin?”

Grandpa Qin’s eyes had a dark gleam when he saw Tang Xi pretend not to know his purpose, but he soon covered up his emotions and looked at Tang Xi with a smile. “I’m here to talk with you about Yingying. I think you two must have had some misunderstanding. You are good friends. She certainly wouldn’t hurt you, right?”

Tang Xi smiled and her eyes sparkled with a cold gleam. She said gently, “I can’t believe Yingying would do those horrible things to me.”

Grandpa Qin’s eyes lit up when he heard Tang Xi’s words. When he was about to speak, Tang Xi said, “But, she did push me and bump my head against the bar counter, and the police also showed me the evidence that she tried to murder me… Not only in the airport, I was also threatened by Yingying in a cafe. She had some men kidnap me. I didn’t tell the police about that incident… I was so scared. If it weren’t for…”

Tang Xi said and sobbed. Then she looked up and her eyes were full of tears. She looked at Grandpa Qin and asked hoarsely, “I don’t believe that Yingying would do those things to me, but she did do them. Grandpa Qin, can you tell me what I should do?”

Seeing Tang Xi give him no time to speak, Grandpa Qin narrowed his eyes. He looked deeply at Tang Xi and pondered. It had been quite a while before he said, “So Xixi, you mean you don’t want to settle this matter with us in peace?”

Tang Xi sniffed, looked at Grandpa Qin pitifully and pursed her lips. “I just want to hear Xinying’s explanation. What she did to me has been far beyond my tolerance limit. Grandpa Qin, if you know what she said to me, I think you wouldn’t let me forgive her either.”

Tang Xi took a look at Qiao Liang who was standing beside her and said, “Let’s go. Didn’t you say the police chief wanted to talk to me?”

She said this to tell Grandpa Qin that she came here not to see him but to see the police chief who was responsible for this case. Otherwise, Grandpa Qin wouldn’t even have a chance to meet her.

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows, looked at the tearful Tang Xi and blinked. When did Tang Xi learn this trick against her enemy? Wasn’t she always noble and proud?

However, he liked this trick which turned Grandpa Qin speechless.

After the two of them left, Grandpa Qin scowled and hit his crutch hard against the floor. He then said to his assistant coldly, “Go visit the police chief and tell him I want to meet him.”

Since he couldn’t persuade Tang Xi, he could only have the police chief give them pressure. If this case couldn’t be accepted by account, he didn’t believe Tang Xi, a young girl, could beat him!

When Tang Xi walked into the police chief’s office, the police chief had been waiting for them. He stood up and respectfully greeted them, saying with a smile, “Mr. President has issued me the order to investigate this case carefully. Mr. Lawrence has told the president about what happened to you, and we certainly won’t let the criminal escape from the punishment of the law.”

Most importantly, the one who the criminal assaulted was Mr. Lawrence’s good friend.

The Lawrence family was even more powerful than the president. They rarely made such a request to the government, but once they did, the government wouldn’t mind doing them a favor.
