?Chapter 295: Chapter 296: More Loss Than Gain (7)_1 Chapter 295: Chapter 296: More Loss Than Gain (7)_1 “Incidents like this happen frequently in Jiangshan City, there’ll be no criminal record. It isn’t a drunk driving case, so your license won’t be revoked. However, Miss Jing, please be more careful when driving for your own safety,”
Seeing that his goal had been accomplished, Liang Chen immediately reached out his hand, holding onto Jing Haohao’s shoulder, and said, “Haohao, you should thank Director Zhang now.”
“Thank you,” Jing Haohao promptly responded politely.
“Mr. Liang and Miss Jing, you are too polite.” Director Zhang cheerfully turned around, making room for them to pass through the doorway.
Liang Chen, arm around Jing Haohao’s waist, started chatting casually with Director Zhang as they were walking out, “My grandpa’s birthday is in a few days. Director Zhang, you must come and join us for the banquet,”
Everyone in Jiangshan City knew who Liang Chen’s grandpa was – a prominent figure. Those who could attend his birthday banquet were either wealthy or influential. Thus, Liang Chen’s invitation offered Director Zhang a chance to mingle with high society figures. Feeling fortunate to have bumped into benefactor Jing Haohao that day, Director Zhang quickly nodded, “It would be my honor to attend Mr. Liang’s birthday banquet.”
“Perfect, it’s settled then.” Liang Chen pushed open the door of the police station, apologized, and then left with Jing Haohao.
All the way down as they were escorted out of the police station by Director Zhang, Jing Haohao didn’t say a word, merely listening to the polite conversation between him and Liang Chen.
In her memory, Liang Chen always appeared to be a cut above the rest, oozing regality and giving an impression of unbelonging. However, this high and mighty man had, humbly and for her sake, chatted politely with Director Zhang, whom people usually approached with the utmost respect.
What’s more, he had even offered Director Zhang the opportunity to join his grandpa’s birthday banquet.
In Jiangshan City, those who could form connections with Liang Chen’s grandpa were few and far between.
She was no fool; she knew that everything he did was intended to help her smooth out any issues and ensure she wouldn’t have to face any repercussions from the car accident.
When Jing Haohao ran into Qiao Wennuan, seeing the blood all over the ground, she thought her life was over. She even believed that, at the very least, she would have a criminal record. However, to her surprise, Liang Chen’s appearance meant she didn’t have to face any harm at all.
What mattered more was that he was in Shanghai when she made the phone call. Yet, within a mere three hours, he had shown up here and taken her away.
Thinking of all this, Jing Haohao couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Liang Chen.
“What’s the matter?” Liang Chen noticed her gaze and asked softly.
Jing Haohao shook her head.
She was just a young girl in her twenties who had been scared witless by her experience in the police station due to a car accident. Liang Chen couldn’t help but raise his hand, patting Jing Haohao’s head to soothe her, and said, “Don’t think too much. The matter is settled.”
Jing Haohao lightly nodded. Liang Chen then opened the car door for her. After she got in the car, he also climbed in.
…
Shen Liangnian didn’t leave. He continued to sit stiffly in his car.
As he was smoking his seventh cigarette, he saw Liang Chen and Jing Haohao walk out of the police station.
The police director sent them off to the door enthusiastically, and Liang Chen, who was always proud and aloof, even shook hands amicably with the director.
