Chapter 1340: Chapter 1341: Giving You a Chance to Turn the Tables (2)
Just take the relationship between him and the chief of the police bureau; they are destined to be enemies.
An Yiqing looked at the expression on Zhao Zhenxing’s face, and she had a clear understanding in her heart.
"Chief Zhao, as far as I know, the backing behind Police Chief Zhang Lei is the Xuanqing Sect. Over the years, he has occupied his position without doing his job, treating the police bureau as his own backyard. You’ve suffered from his exclusion inside. Including this time Madam Zhao got heat stroke, you were delayed by his trouble and didn’t arrive in time, making Madam Zhao miss the most timely treatment. Am I right or wrong?"
Zhao Zhenxing’s face turned a bit gloomy, and he nodded forcefully. This matter would be firmly remembered in his heart. Although he had no backing, one day he would definitely take revenge.
An Yiqing smiled faintly, a gleam flowing in her eyes. Clearly, she was satisfied with Zhao Zhenxing’s answer.
"If I give you an opportunity to completely overturn the situation now, would you accept it?"
"Overturn? Opportunity?" Zhao Zhenxing was shocked and looked at An Yiqing in surprise, "Miss An, do you mean...?"
"What I mean is, the Xuanqing Sect and the Shao’s should have a change of blood."
Zhao Zhenxing did not speak. He stared motionlessly at the young woman with immense charm in front of him, her words echoing around his ears.
If anyone else was sitting opposite him today, Zhao Zhenxing would have directly driven her out. But now, in front of him was An Yiqing, the legendary woman who had created numerous miracles in Xuandu City.
What exactly did she want to do? What was her purpose in seeking him out? Could it be that...
As if realizing something, Zhao Zhenxing covertly drew in a sharp breath, looking at An Yiqing with increasingly amazed eyes.
An Yiqing calmly accepted Zhao Zhenxing’s scrutiny, quite satisfied in her heart with his understanding.
"Chief Zhao, I am well aware of your situation. You possess great talent yet have been suppressed by that fool Zhang Lei for many years. I am now giving you a chance to exhibit your ambitions; are you willing?"
Zhao Zhenxing’s heart was shocked. The corners of his mouth pressed tightly together. He remained silent.
After a long while, he looked at An Yiqing and asked, "Can I know why Miss An would choose me?"
An Yiqing smiled broadly, "The reason I choose you is the same reason you choose me."
A baffling statement made Zhao Zhenxing completely convinced.
Zhao Zhenxing was not one to abandon his principles out of gratitude. Although An Yiqing had saved his wife, it was not enough to make him lose his rationality. His true acceptance of An Yiqing stemmed from her intelligence and exceptional demeanor.
Similarly, the reason An Yiqing chose Zhao Zhenxing was because of his righteousness and his eyes that could see through everything.
Talking between smart people never requires wasting effort.
"Miss An, I’ve never admired anyone, but I admire you! I don’t know how much power you have, but I believe you’ll never promise what you can’t deliver."
An Yiqing smiled faintly, and slowly raised her glass, "Then let us wish for a pleasant collaboration."
"Pleasant collaboration!"
...
In the following days, everything appeared calm on the surface in Jinyin City. Since the dinner with Zhao Zhenxing, An Yiqing had not appeared again, living a reclusive life.
The performance of Yuyuanzhai and Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals continued to plummet, making the two outsiders Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua anxious, but An Yiqing still ate well and slept well.
Finally, all this calm was completely shattered one morning.
"Miss, the Shao Brothers couldn’t hold back and finally made a move!" An Zhifeng rushed in excitedly to report this news to An Yiqing, as they had been waiting for the Shao Brothers to act, and they had grown tired of those stuffy days confined in the room!
An Yiqing slowly put down the book in her hand, raised her head to look at An Zhifeng, "They finally couldn’t resist? What did they do?"
An Zhifeng bared his white teeth and laughed, "Shaoxing sent a group to Yuyuanzhai to confront us, claiming a few small lackeys of Xuanqing Sect were injured by us some time ago. They also said we weren’t following the rules and wanted to have a good talk with us."
"Oh, how did the talk go?" An Yiqing gently arched an eyebrow.
"Just like you guessed, Miss, they smashed everything in the store to pieces. Hahaha, if Liao Jinglin knew, he would be heartbroken!" An Zhifeng couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of Liao Jinglin’s money-grubbing demeanor.
An Yiqing nodded with amusement, "Oh, the Shao Brothers did a beautiful job, it’s really to my liking. Did you arrange everything I asked you to before? Were there any slips?"
"No, don’t worry, Miss, everything is in place!"
"Very well, let’s go meet the people of Shao’s!"
On Antique One Street in Jinyin City, the entrance of Yuyuanzhai was crowded with onlookers, and the sound of broken items from inside the store kept echoing, causing the bystanders to feel distressed.
Those were genuine jade pieces! High-quality jade! The Shao Brothers were downright profligate to smash these treasures like this?!
But these words were only muttered in their hearts. Everyone knew of the Shao Brothers’ infamous reputation and dared not speak openly.
"Our Director Shao said, in Jinyin City, you have to abide by the rules here! Not only does Yuyuanzhai not follow the rules, but you even injured our General Manager Shao severely! Our Director Shao always loved his brother, but seeing as it’s the Xuandu City An Family, he merely warned you with a few small lackeys. Who knew that Miss An would not know respect and injure those few people! Do you know who they were? They’re from the Xuanqing Sect!"
A bald man in a black suit tipped his leg leisurely, sitting grandly on a chair, looking sideways at Zhang Yuksheng standing expressionlessly in front of him. In the vast Yuyuanzhai, shards of glittering jade were scattered across the floor, and many thugs who came with the bald man were still smashing things around.
"Yuyuanzhai runs a legitimate business. You are obviously extorting protection fees under the disguise of something else! Is there no law in Jinyin City?" Zhang Yuksheng said firmly.
"Humph, the law?! You, a newcomer, might not understand. In Jinyin City, Xuanqing Sect and Director Shao, they are the law!"
"Good! Such a law! Jinyin City really opens my eyes!"
