CapĂtulo 1911: Chapter 1815: Abusive Love
Qiao Yutong said nothing and sat directly on the couch, joining Secretary Liu.
âDirector Qiao, my subordinates, these two people, they donât know better, theyâre stubborn, and just like you, they dare to arrest anyone. Iâll criticize them when I get back.â Chen Yunhua said to Qiao Yutong.
âYou guys should cut down on such reckless acts in the future. As our own people, we should be united. Do you understand the specific situation before arresting anyone? What if Director Qiao has a special mission? If something goes wrong, is your responsibility on those two idiots, or is it on you?â Secretary Liu harshly criticized Chen Yunhua.
âYes, yes, Secretary Liu is right.â Chen Yunhua kept nodding with his head down.
âDirector Qiao, they didnât give you a hard time, did they?â Secretary Liu asked Director Qiao.
âDirector Chen has a way with people; they both enforced the law fairly according to procedure. They did not mistreat me, butâŠâ Qiao Yutong spoke halfway and looked up at Chen Yunhua.
âAnd you, stop thinking about undermining your own people. Try to solve more major cases like Director Qiao. In time, youâll naturally have a position in Director Zhaoâs mind.â Secretary Liu continued from where Qiao Yutong left off.
âYes, yes, Secretary Liuâs criticism is right, Iâll humbly accept it.â Chen Yunhua kept nodding.
âDirector Qiao, if you have any grievances, speak them out.â Secretary Liu looked again at Qiao Yutong.
âI donât really have grievances, but Iâm quite thankful for Director Chenâs concern.â Qiao Yutong raised her eyes to look at Chen Yunhua standing across the coffee table.
âOh?â Secretary Liu asked curiously.
âDirector Chenâs two subordinates finished questioning me, and they brought a greeting from him, saying on behalf of Director Chen to take care.â Qiao Yutong said calmly.
âYou⊠werenât you the one who said you didnât know?â Secretary Liu suddenly stood up and pointed at Director Chenâs nose.
âIâŠâ Chen Yunhua was momentarily speechless, thought for a moment, and decided to tough it out.
âI truly didnât know. These two scoundrels abused my name to do whatever they wanted. Iâll deal with them!â Chen Yunhua turned again to pick up the phone on the table.
âAlright, thatâs your business. We donât have time; itâs getting late. Director Qiao, letâs go, Iâll take you.â Secretary Liu got up to take Qiao Yutong away.
âHey, donât rush, donât rush, let me apologize to Director Qiao.â Chen Yunhua turned around again.
âDirector Qiao, about todayâs situation, I really wasnât aware. If I had known it was you, Director Qiao, I would have had them play blind. Iâm sorry you were wronged today. In my view, itâs as if it didnât happen.â Chen Yunhua sincerely apologized to Qiao Yutong.
âThatâs the right attitude. As for Director Qiaoâs matter, Iâll report it to Director Zhao. You all, just leave it alone!â Secretary Liu seemed satisfied with Chen Yunhuaâs attitude.
âDirector Chen has such upright and strict people under him, Iâm pleased for him. I accept your apology.â Qiao Yutong also expressed her stance.
âAlright, Director Qiao, weâre leaving.â
Secretary Liu escorted Qiao Yutong.
âTodayâs incident really troubled you, Secretary Liu.â Qiao Yutong said to Secretary Liu.
âOh, Iâm working for Director Zhao, if you want to thank someone, thank Director Zhao.â Secretary Liu said to Qiao Yutong.
âHowever, what you did today was indeed a bit out of line.â Secretary Liu spoke seriously.
âI know, I was really helpless. Song Xiaodongâs child was undergoing surgery at the hospital, and I was so anxious, I just rushed over.â Qiao Yutong recalled the scene.
She didnât know why, but she was willing to risk jeopardizing her future to help Song Xiaodong.
âMaybe because I owe him.â
âItâs just a coincidence that usually when the road is closed, no one dares to stop you, but today it was an order from Vice Mayor Han Yang, and your rank as deputy director isnât enough.â Secretary Liu said.
âLuckily you came early, otherwise who knows what kind of tricks Chen Yunhua might have pulled.â Qiao Yutong said.
âHmm, in the future, you better be careful and donât joke with your career. Director Zhao has high hopes for you, donât let him down!â Secretary Liu glanced at Qiao Yutong.
âYes, yes.â
âAlright, thatâs it for today. Tomorrow you go find Director Zhao, Iâll report to him later, so donât bother him anymore.â
âOkay.â
Qiao Yutong stood at her door, seeing Secretary Liu off.
As Secretary Liu walked away, Qiao Yutong remained in a daze.
After being dazed for a while, Qiao Yutong picked up the phone to call Song Xiaodong.
Her finger hovered above the call button for a long time, but she ended up turning off the phone screen.
Qiao Yutong went upstairs to tidy up, wash up, and prepare for sleep, wearing a bathrobe, she casually changed channels with the remote, soon feeling bored, she picked up the phone again, thinking to call Song Xiaodong.
Eventually, she decided to send a text message.
âSecretary Liu came, everythingâs fine now, Iâm home, howâs the child?â
She then tossed the phone onto the couch.
Soon the phone rang.
âHello? Youâre home!â It was Song Xiaodongâs warm voice.
Upon hearing this voice, Qiao Yutong felt like crying.
âHmm.â Qiao Yutongâs voice had a slight tremble.
âHow is it?â
Qiao Yutong steadied her emotions, took a deep breath and replied, âAfter you called Director Zhao, Secretary Liu came straight to the bureau, criticized Director Chen, and released me. Tomorrow Iâll go see Director Zhao to face the music.â
âAlright, as long as youâre out, thatâs good.â Song Xiaodong also sighed in relief.
âHow is your son?â Qiao Yutong asked Song Xiaodong.
âNo problem, heâs been stitched up, and now his head is wrapped in bandages, looking like Afan TĂ.â Song Xiaodong even joked.
