Chapter 355: The Zhao family's parents want to meet
A few days later, news came from the police that Zhao Linlang's parents had been confirmed, and there was a word from there, wanting to meet Fang Ruoning.
Huo Lingxiao was about to be interviewed by a financial column, and after getting the news, he couldn't wait to leave.
Chen Hang hurriedly stopped him: "Mr. Huo, the reporter will be here soon, it's not appropriate for you to leave now, right?" I can go over to the police and ask about the situation first, and I'll report back to you later. β
Huo Lingxiao raised his wrist and looked at the time, "How long will the interview take?" β
"An hour."
"This matter is pressed first, don't let Ruoning know."
"Understood."
Before the two of them could finish speaking, Fang Ruoning's voice came: "Don't let me know something?" What are you hiding from me again? β
"......" Chen Hang glanced cautiously and did not squeak.
Fang Ruoning approached, put down the documents in his hand, looked at Huo Lingxiao quietly, tilted his head slightly, and waited.
"Chen Hang, you go out first."
"Yes."
Chen Hang left and closed the door by the way. Fang Ruoning looked at the man's mysterious appearance, and became more and more puzzled, "What is going on?" β
Huo Lingxiao looked at her deeply, grabbed her wrist and pulled the person over, and said directly; "Zhao Linlang's parents want to see you."
"What?" Fang Ruoning was taken aback, his eyes were round in surprise, "They really have to come back?" β
"Hmmm......"
"Where?"
"I'm not sure about the specifics, the news was just conveyed by the police, and they said something...... I didn't want to confess until I saw you, so the police had to contact us. β
Fang Ruoning hesitated, slowly came to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go over, they must knowββ"
"Ruoning," Huo Lingxiao saw that she was so eager, turned around and was about to leave, and hurriedly pulled her back, "Don't worry, I'll have an interview later, and we'll go over after the interview is over, don't be in a hurry at this time." β
Fang Ruoning naturally knew about his interview, and comforted: "You just need to do a good interview, the person they want to meet is me, and I will ...... in the past."
"Nope." Huo Lingxiao's serious tone did not have the slightest room to turn back, and said resolutely, "I must accompany you." β
"......"
The internal phone rang, Huo Lingxiao connected, and Chen Hang's voice came: "Mr. Huo, the interview team has arrived." β
"Okay, you take them to the conference room, I'll be there right away."
"Yes."
When Fang Ruoning heard the call, he turned around and walked to the floor hanger and took Huo Lingxiao's blazer.
Waiting for him to put on his coat, Fang Ruoning was still fighting: "In front of the police, they won't do anything to me, you are too nervous." β
Huo Lingxiao walked out with her in his arms, his deep tone was as concerned and warm as ever, "They won't do anything to you, but I'm still not at ease, good ...... Wait an extra hour and my husband will accompany you, eh? β
Walking to the door of the conference room, Huo Lingxiao did not shy away from kissing the corner of her mouth, then looked somewhere behind her and beckoned: "Zheng Wei." β
Zheng Wei is the bodyguard who took Li Quan's place.
Fang Ruoning was immediately dissatisfied when she saw that he had asked the bodyguard to look herself, but in front of so many colleagues in the company, she couldn't be too arrogant, so she had to express her protest with an angry look.
During the hour of waiting, Fang Ruoning was extremely difficult.
After talking to Feng Xuejing about this, she was also puzzled.
"What does the second elder of the Zhao family want to talk to you about? If they want to report their son, just confess to the police directly, what's the use of looking for you? Do you still expect to plead with the police? β
"I don't know...... I have been nervous since I heard the news, and I want to hurry over, but Huo Lingxiao does not allow it, so I have to wait for him to be with me. β
"Then you just wait, you are pregnant now, he naturally has to be very careful." Feng Xuejing comforted, and changed the topic again, "How did your father deal with that?" You don't really have to give money to loan sharks, do you? β
At the mention of this, Fang Ruoning was even more worried.
"I don't know, I've asked twice, and Huo Lingxiao said that I don't have to worry, he is letting people deal with it."
"Hey...... Having such a father is really eight lifetimes of blood mold...... However, fortunately, you have Huo Lingxiao, and when the sky falls, he will support you, and you can raise the fetus with peace of mind. β
Hearing this, Fang Ruoning couldn't help but smile, "He said the same thing." β
Anxiously waiting until almost noon, the interview finally ended. Huo Lingxiao returned to the office, and she immediately went in and asked, "Can I leave now?" β
Chen Hang glanced at her and said, "We have already communicated with the police, so there's no hurry." β
"But I'm in a hurry......"
Behind the desk, the man looked at her with heavy eyes.
Chen Hang noticed that the boss's face was not very good, and immediately disappeared after receiving a few documents, Huo Lingxiao got up and walked towards her, and shook her shoulder: "Are you hungry?" What do you want to eat at noon? β
Fang Ruoning saw that he seemed to be deliberately delaying, and after a little thought, he understood, and explained: "Ling Xiao, I was in a hurry to see them, I didn't mean anything else, I was just curious about where they had gone over the years, and why did they deceive everyone and deceive me with Zhao Linlang back then...... The two elders of the Zhao family mean a lot to me, such as Fang Bingguo, I treat them as elders, except for that, there is no other meaning. β
Huo Lingxiao was indeed a little surprised in her heart, as if as soon as the matter involved Zhao Linlang, she became not calm.
But after hearing this explanation, he had nothing to say, so he sighed and put his arm around her shoulder: "Okay, then go see them first." β
"Hmm."
When I arrived at the police station, it was already noon, and the officers had gone to eat after work, but there were still police officers on duty who stayed behind.
As soon as the leader on duty heard that Huo Lingxiao was coming, he immediately came to greet him in person, "Mr. Huo, it has already been arranged, please come with me to the conference room." β
Considering that Fang Ruoning was pregnant, the police did not arrange for them to meet in the interrogation room, but in a conference room.
Pushing the door in, in the solemn conference room, there were two silver-haired old men sitting upright, accompanied by two police officers.
Seeing someone coming in, the two looked up.
"Ruoning...... It's really Ruoning, Ruoning...... You're hereβ" Mother Zhao recognized the young woman who had entered the door at a glance, and immediately stood up excitedly, the handcuffs in her hands tapping on the tabletop and making a sound.
Fang Ruoning saw her handcuffed on her wrist, and her eyes immediately shrank, obviously shocked.
Since they are handcuffed, it means that the police have found them guilty of harboring or harboring, and naturally they cannot escape the punishment of the law.
Her heart was suddenly heavy, and she was a little difficult to accept.
The group approached and stood on the other side of the table.
Fang Ruoning looked at the second elder of the Zhao family, and for a moment, he could hardly believe his eyes.
In just six or seven years, the second elder of the Zhao family is only in his fifties, how can he age like this?
With a wrinkled face, dark skin, and almost white hair, at first glance it looks like a migrant worker sleeping on a construction site every day.
"Sit down." When Huo Lingxiao saw these two people, his face was indifferent and majestic, his eyes were deep and dark, and he couldn't see any emotion, but seeing that his wife's mood fluctuated quite a lot, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and pulled her arm to signal her to sit down first.
Fang Ruoning's reaction was a little sluggish, and he sat down with the man's movements, his eyes still staring at the other side.
Mother Zhao also sat down again at the signal of the police, and looked at Fang Ruoning with an excited face: "Child, are you almost unable to recognize us?" It's been six or seven years, I haven't seen you for six or seven years, you're getting more and more beautiful, but we're getting old......"
Fang Ruoning frowned, as if he couldn't accept it, and only after a while did he say in a broken voice: "Uncle, aunt, you ...... How did you get to this? β
Back then, the Huo family mistakenly thought that the person who donated the heart was Zhao Linlang, and asked the middleman to give a compensation, plus the compensation of the driver who caused the accident, they should not be short of money in their hands, it is said that they can live a very comfortable life over the years, but how can they be tired like this?
"Hey......" Father Zhao sighed heavily, as if he was embarrassed to see people, and turned his head over.
Mother Zhao glanced at her wife, knowing that he was disgraced and refused to speak, so she had to explain: "In the past few years...... We are on a small island and we fish with the fishermen every day...... That one...... It's a bit hard. β
Fisherman, fishing?
Isn't that a bit hard? Fishermen go out to sea to fish, which is particularly hard.
"What do you do with these things? If you find someone to say something, just say it. Father Zhao turned around and said impatiently.
Mother Zhao nodded, and then looked at Fang Ruoning: "Child, call you to come...... There's something I want you to help with. β
"Auntie, if there's anything, just tell me."
Mother Zhao's face was suddenly depressed, and she sighed for a long time: "Lin Lang made such a mistake, we, as parents, have been atoning for him...... I thought that after so many years, there should be no more ...... Unexpectedly, he suddenly returned to China...... I didn't expect that there would be so many things in the back, Ruoning, we have inquired, you are now a lawyer, and you are very powerful...... I think, if Lin Lang turns himself in, can you be his defense lawyer? You know him, he is not bad by nature...... He's just too ambitious and wants to succeed too much...... That's why I stumbled and went astray......"
Mother Zhao was talking and crying, her hands were handcuffed, and she even raised her hands to wipe her tears, which seemed so difficult and pitiful.
Fang Ruoning was a little stunned.
She didn't expect Aunt Zhao to ask her to come over on purpose, and it was actually this request - let her be Zhao Linlang's defense lawyer!
When Huo Lingxiao heard this, he instinctively repelled in his heart, and hooked his lips disdainfully.
However, it is not his turn to be a villain at this time. Pregnant, how could she go to Zhao Linlang's defense lawyer?
"Ruoning, I know this request is too difficult for you...... But we can't help it, your uncle and I have this one son...... No matter how big a mistake he makes, we still hope that he can get a chance to forgive, you know Lin Lang well, you will definitely help him, no one is suitable for you-"
