Deputy Director Xiao Appears
Qiao Qiao covered her phone and turned around to ask, "Who is it?"
The man shrugged. "I don't know. He's a middle-aged man. Judging from his posture, he seems to have a big background."
A middle-aged man?
Qiao Qiao was puzzled. Based on this point alone, Qiao Qiao could not guess the identity of the other party. However, since he said that he was looking for her, she still planned to go and take a look.
She spoke into her phone, "Someone's looking for me. I'm hanging up."
"Who's looking for him?" He Shaochen asked.
"I'm not sure. I just heard that it was a middle-aged man with a powerful background," Qiao Qiao said honestly.
"His background is quite big?"
"Yes, that's what I heard from others. Alright, I'm hanging up." Qiao Qiao was about to hang up when He Shaochen's cold voice sounded. "I think I know who it is."
"Huh?" Qiao Qiao was confused.
This person was too powerful. Just based on this information, he knew who the other party was? Foresight?
"Ignore that person. Let me handle this."
"Ah?" Qiao Qiao was even more confused. How did the topic change to dealing with this matter? Could it be that He Shaochen really knew who the other party was?
She hesitated. "But, that person might be waiting for me downstairs. What should I do?"
He Shaochen paused. "Is there only one exit in the laboratory building?"
"No, there are three. One main entrance and two side entrances."
"Then let's go another way."
Seeing He Shaochen being so straightforward, Qiao Qiao became even more suspicious. She thought for a moment and asked, "He Shaochen, do you know something?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked her to leave.
"Yes, I have a rough idea. Looking at the time, it's about time for that person to come looking for you."
"Who?" Qiao Qiao asked.
"Xiao Ning's father, Deputy Director Xiao." He Shaochen's tone was quite flat.
Qiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard Deputy Director Xiao's name. Why would such a high-ranking person come to the school to look for her? It was probably because of Xiao Ning.
He Shaochen didn't need to say anything. She also wanted to avoid this person.
Qiao Qiao nodded seriously. "Okay, I know what to do. I'll pack my things right away …"
Before Qiao Qiao could finish her words, she saw two aggressive young men coming in. Her face froze. The men looked at her for confirmation, then walked over and said to her, "Miss Qiao, Deputy Director Xiao wants to see you."
"…"
Qiao Qiao weighed her options. It seemed impossible for her to escape from these two people. In the end, would she still want to go?
She wanted to cry but had no tears. "He Shaochen, he's already here."
He Shaochen paused for a second, then said unhappily, "Why are you so stupid? You should've left when I talked to you. "
"How would I know?" Qiao Qiao's gaze circled the two people. "Then what should I do now?"
"Since you've already found your way to the door, then go."
"Uh, didn't you say …"
"Since you won't be able to escape even if you're found, then go and meet him. So many people saw you get into the car, so he won't dare do anything to you. Bring out your aura as Mrs. He. Don't be afraid."
"…"
Even if you said that, she still panicked when she suddenly met someone who could casually give her a death certificate!
"You go first. I'll be right there." He Shaochen hung up.
"Hello?" Qiao Qiao was stunned. This person actually hung up on her!
He didn't even know where she was going, so how was he going to come over?
Clearly, Qiao Qiao didn't understand He Shaochen's abilities well enough.
"Miss Qiao, can we go now?" The two people started asking questions.
This was completely beyond her ability, and she had no choice but to go. Qiao Qiao nodded helplessly. "Yeah, okay."
She had always been wary of this man who was rumored to be able to give someone a death certificate. So much so that before she even met him in person, she could already imagine how fierce he would be.
But when she actually met this person, Qiao Qiao discovered that this person's facial features were unexpectedly easy-going.
He was just like those officials who were considerate of the people she often saw on TV. He looked amiable.
Deputy Director Xiao looked like a rather elegant man. He was sitting in the car with his eyes closed. When he heard his subordinate calling him, he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze fell on Qiao Qiao, and he smiled warmly. "Miss Qiao, nice to meet you."
Qiao Qiao looked a little uneasy. She nodded. "Hello, Deputy Director Xiao."
"I hope to talk to you about my daughter. Have a seat." As he spoke, Deputy Director Xiao made room for Qiao Qiao.
Can I not go?
Qiao Qiao thought to herself, but she knew that it wasn't up to her to decide. She had already seen the eager looks on the two young men who had "invited" her over. It looked like they were going to shove her in even if she didn't want to go.
Fine, I'll go.
Qiao Qiao threw caution to the wind and got into the car.

Deputy Director Xiao took her to a restaurant. However, it looked a little classy, and she needed to show the appropriate identification before she could enter. It was obvious that this was a place for high-ranking officials and nobles to enjoy themselves. It also saved her from unnecessary trouble.
The waiter led them to a private room. The extravagance of the room was beyond Qiao Qiao's imagination. Who would have thought that this unassuming hotel would have such a different world inside?
The people who could afford to spend money here were probably not incorruptible.
Deputy Director Xiao politely handed the menu to Qiao Qiao and said, "I'm treating Miss Qiao today. Feel free to order whatever you like."
Qiao Qiao looked at the menu and was silent for a few seconds. Then she put down the menu and got straight to the point. "Deputy Director Xiao, if you have something to say, just say it."
Qiao Qiao admitted that she was not mentally strong enough to have a meal with the father of the girl she had a feud with.
Deputy Director Xiao raised his eyebrows when he saw this. "Miss Qiao is really straightforward. Then I'll just say it. I hope you can ask He Shao to let my daughter off."
He was indeed straightforward!
Qiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat. She laughed indifferently and asked, "Xiao Ning asked someone to kidnap me and even wanted her gang to humiliate me. If I hadn't resisted, what would have happened to me? Deputy Director Xiao, have you ever thought about what would have happened?"
Deputy Director Xiao's expression was calm. He did not seem to be affected by what his daughter had done. He said, "But judging from the outcome, Miss Qiao didn't suffer any serious injuries, right?"
Her wrist was fractured, and her arm had suffered such a large gash. Was that not considered an injury?
Qiao Qiao was so angry that she wanted to laugh.
"Is an attempted kidnapping not considered an abduction? Deputy Director Xiao, don't you think it's beneath your dignity to say such things? "
"Miss Qiao, don't be so agitated. Of course, I will make up for the harm my daughter caused you." Deputy Director Xiao gestured to the subordinate beside him, and the subordinate took out a stack of blank checks from his pocket.
