Settle emotional debts with physical repayment

  Liu Ziguang took a look at Jiang Xueqing, who was flat in front and back, with nothing to boast about except for her loli face. Yet she still dared to recommend herself as a bedmate, without feeling the least bit ashamed or embarrassed.

  But anyway, this girl can make such sacrifices for her father, which is also a filial daughter. Liu Ziguang respects the most filial people, so he nodded and said: "Let's talk in my office."

  To be honest, Liu Ziguang didn't like Jiang Xueqing because of her innate journalist trait of stirring up trouble wherever she went, and also because her family made him uncomfortable. Moreover, the two of them had hardly any interaction besides that one interview, so it was strange for Jiang Xueqing to come seeking help from someone who was basically a stranger to her. The only explanation was that she must have been in a desperate situation with no other options left.

  It's true that since Jiang Daming was taken away, the relatives and friends of the Jiang family have been avoiding them, afraid of getting into trouble. On the surface, Jiang Xueqing is a cheerful and carefree girl, but in reality, she is very proud and doesn't like to ask for help unless absolutely necessary.

  However, today she still sat in front of Liu Ziguang. The elegance and nobility of the number one female anchor in Jiangbei had long since dissipated. There was no one else in the office, Liu Ziguang sat behind his desk, not even offering her a glass of water, just coldly saying: "Speak, what do you want me to do?"

  Jiang Xueqing stood there, biting her lip and said: "My dad is now being held in the detention center. The people he offended before are saying they want to get rid of him inside. I'm very worried... I've looked for everyone who can help me, but no one is willing to help except you..."

  Liu Ziguang interrupted her and said: "Why me?"

  "I don't know," Jiang Xueqing shook her head, "Maybe it's because you helped me deal with the director that day. I think you're one of the few people in this world who can still uphold justice."

  Liu Ziguang smiled lightly: "There is no pure justice in this world. To be honest, if my dad embezzled tens of millions and squandered taxpayers' money on gambling in Macau, even if he was beaten to death or disabled in the detention center, it would not be excessive. Did he ever think about justice when he was embezzling?"

  "But!" Jiang Xueqing retorted hastily, "That's lynching! My dad may be corrupt, but there's a court to punish him. Those convicts can't take the law into their own hands! The 40 million yuan he embezzled has already been recovered, and I've sold our house and car to pay back the public funds he owed. I've done my best! Although... although he's corrupt and rotten outside, but... he's still my dad!"

  Jiang Xue's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was choked with sobs.

  Liu Ziguang silently let out a sigh and said, "Alright, I can give Meng Zhiquan a call to take care of things for your dad, but I'm not doing this for nothing."

  Jiang Xueqing wiped away her tears and calmly said: "My property, car, and all my savings are gone. Now the only thing that's worth anything is my body. If you need it, take it."

  Liu Ziguang stared at Jiang Xueqing for a while and nodded: "Good."

  "Alright then, call me when you need me." Jiang Xueqing left a business card and turned to leave.

  "Wait."

  Jiang Xueqing stopped and turned around, looking at Liu Ziguang with a sarcastic gaze: "How did you change your mind? Want to get on me here? Let me tell you, I'm not that easy. I'll wait until Dad is safe before giving it to you."

  Liu Ziguang said: "I just wanted to ask about one thing. What happened to the sanitation worker who was knocked down a few days ago?"

  Jiang Xueqing understood the misunderstanding and smiled wryly, saying: "Nothing much. The driver who caused the trouble is a rich second-generation kid with a lot of family influence. He put pressure on the TV station and the show was stopped. I also lost my job. That's all."

  "Was the driver involved in that multi-vehicle pileup on the outer ring road a while back?" Liu Ziguang asked.

  "How did you know?" Jiang Xueqing's eyes widened in surprise. "No, they were all from the same club and after the last car accident, they all changed to new cars with more horsepower and higher prices, which led to this disaster."

  "So you must be clear about how the case was handled?"

  "I was laid off and don't know what happened afterwards, probably handled privately. I heard that the traffic police also held the sanitation worker responsible for the accident, one party gave 600,000 yuan in compensation, that's it. If that family were to make a fuss, maybe they would get more, but they are all honest people, sigh."

  Talking about her own program Jiang Xueqing's expression seemed to have come up but suddenly thought of the purpose of coming today and her expression became gloomy again she was not much stronger than that family.

  "Alright, I know, thank you." Liu Ziguang said as he stood up and helped Jiang Xueqing push open the door.

  Jiang Xue said a soft "thank you" and hastily left.

  After she left, Liu Ziguang began to arrange for someone to pass on a message to Meng Zhiquan to take care of a corrupt official named Jiang Daming. In short, don't let anyone touch him.

  After the battle at Jiangtan, this Northeasterner was deeply impressed by Liu Ziguang and willingly became his loyal follower. As a Northeasterner, he had always been straightforward and respectful to those who were stronger than him. Once he recognized someone as a brother, he would be fiercely loyal. This time, he got into trouble for killing someone in a group fight. Liu Ziguang spent money to hire a lawyer to help him get out of the situation. The lawyer was trying to find new witnesses and using some tricks to delay the case, so Meng Zhia had been staying in the detention center all along.

  Meng Lao Da is a ruthless man, as soon as he went in, he naturally became the leader of the prison and was in charge of taking care of someone. It's not a big deal for him to take care of one person, unless it's an official who wants to deal with Jiang Da Ming, otherwise, ordinary prisoners wouldn't dare to move him.

  The next day, Jiang Xueqing received a call from her father, which shocked her. To know that in the detention center, not many people can make casual phone calls. On the phone, her father said that someone had taken care of him and not only was he not beaten, but also got to smoke, sleep on the upper bunk, and his food would not be snatched away.

  Jiang Xueqing's tears came out suddenly, her voice choked with sobs: "Daddy, you must be okay in there, I'll help you."

  "Stop crying, good kid. Since the day I was taken away, Dad has come to realize that all of this is retribution. Now Dad is living quite well, although the food doesn't have much oil or water, but my high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides have all gone down. Dad has lost over 20 pounds compared to before. Don't cry, good girl."

  Jiang Xueqing had already cried to the point of being speechless. She hung up the phone, calmed down for a while, and then dialed another number, saying: "Is this Liu Ziguo? Thank you, I should fulfill my promise now. Let's meet at 8:30 tonight in the lobby of Xia Ri Hotel."

  Xiayu Hotel is a well-known hotel in Jiangbei District, located on the banks of the Huai River. The building is shaped like a sailboat with all rooms facing the river and featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, including transparent glass bathrooms. All bedding is imported from Japan, including water beds. The ceiling even features a simulated starry sky, making it an extremely romantic setting, unparalleled in Jiangbei's hospitality industry.

  Imagine having a lover on a summer day, opening a room in a hotel, lying on a water bed, gazing at the starry sky and the night view of the Huai River outside the panoramic glass window, then opening the refrigerator and pouring a glass of red wine. The atmosphere is simply indescribable.

  Jiang Xueqing arrived at the Xia Ri Hotel an hour early and opened a large bed room, first taking a bath and wearing a white bathrobe lying on the waterbed. Her long black hair cascaded down like dark clouds, her slender legs stretched out from under the bathrobe, smooth and delicate skin that seemed almost translucent.

  Looking up at the sky and staring at herself in the mirror, Jiang Xueqing let out a sigh: I'd better sell myself...

  A pack of large-sized spiral fruit-flavored Durex quietly lay on the bedside table, waiting for its user to arrive.

  At eight o'clock, Liu Ziguang arrived at the Xia Ri Hotel on his bicycle and walked into the lobby. A waiter came forward: "Are you Mr. Liu Ziguang?"

  "It's me."

  "This is a guest I am entrusting to you."

  Liu Ziguang took over the envelope handed over by the waiter and opened it. Inside was a room card with the room number printed on it.

  "Oh, thank you." Liu Ziguang put the house card into his pocket.

  ……

  Jiang Xueqing had been waiting, but the person she was waiting for still hadn't arrived by dawn. By 9:00 am, Jiang Xueqing was starving and ordered room service. When the waiter brought her breakfast, he also handed her an envelope.

  A card key and a note slipped out of the envelope.

  On the note, in elegant handwriting: You no longer owe me anything.

  At this moment, Jiang Xueqing's tears burst out of her eyes.

  Since her father's accident, Jiang Xueqing has been living in a honey jar. She fell from the sky to the mortal world and got used to seeing white eyes and powerful relatives and friends turning their faces and not recognizing people. The mouths of colleagues and superiors were even more ugly and covetous of her body. If she didn't achieve her purpose, they would push her down the well. In these short three months, Jiang Xueqing was like living in hell.

  But today, the east finally cracked open a sliver of sunlight piercing through the thick haze. At first, Jiang Xueqing cried with restraint, but later on, she burst into tears, releasing all her pent-up frustration and pressure.

  ……

  The municipal hospital's emergency department has been in a bad mood for Fang Wei lately. Her colleague, Xiao Li, invited her to have coffee. Recently, a new Starbucks opened in Jiangbei City, and those who think they are sophisticated want to go and try it out.

  Fang Fei wasn't very interested, but couldn't resist Xiao Li's enthusiastic invitation. The two of them rushed to Starbucks after work and ordered a fancy cappuccino. As they sipped their coffee, they chatted idly. Fang Fei still looked distracted, her mind preoccupied with Liu Ziguang, the scoundrel who had wronged her.

  Suddenly a familiar figure walked over Fang Mei's eyes lit up wasn't that the girl who had ** with Liu Ziguang she also came!

  It just so happens that Wei Zixuan and Shen Fang are free today, so Shen Fang throws Niu Niu to Lao Ba to take care of her, and takes her old classmate to Starbucks for a cup of coffee.

  Two people sat down, just across from Fang Fei. Wei Zixuan took out a thermos cup from her bag and said to the waiter: "I'm used to using my own cup, bring me a cup of top-grade Blue Mountain coffee."

  Fang Fei's eyes widened and her spirit lifted, pretending to drink coffee, but in fact, her little ears had already perked up, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two women.

  Shen Fang and Wei Ziqian didn't know Fang Fei, but Fang Fei knew them both. Shen Fang was the mother whose daughter had been kidnapped by bandits at the bank last time. Wei Ziqian was the woman who had actively put her head on Liu Ziguo's chest that night. Fang Fei remembered it clearly.
