Return to the City: The Strongest King

Their car stopped one after the other with a black extended Mercedes. Lin Pingqing looked at the person getting out of that car, and his expression instantly became a bit nervous. He whispered, "This is Li Jinhe from Zhenyuan Company."

"Ah!" Jenny exclaimed softly. Even though the person didn't look particularly impressive, his power still instinctively made her feel pressured.

Lin Pingqing sighed and said, "Sigh, Li Jinhe actually came here in person, so this matter is definitely going to be more difficult to handle."

Jenny had some hope at first, but now she didn't dare hold onto even a shred of hope. With a bitter expression, she said, "Xiaotong, how can he be so reckless? Now the trouble is so big, let's go and plead for mercy, hoping he will be generous enough to spare Xiaotong."

Lin Pingqing shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "I think it's unlikely. Li Jinhe is a ruthless person, always living up to his word, and has a heart as hard as stone. No matter what contributions his employees may have made, if he wants to fire them, no one can plead for leniency."

Jenny opened her mouth but ended up just sighing.

"Eh, Xiaotong!"

Although they didn't dare to approach Li Jinhe, Jenny and Lin Pingqing still followed behind. However, as soon as they entered the police station, they saw their uncle and aunt bringing Chen Xiaotong out.

Lin Pingqing also looked puzzled — what was going on, how did Chen Xiaotong get out?

Still, he was immediately startled internally; regardless of why, if they didn't face Li Jinhe directly, Chen Xiaotong could leave first, but afterwards, it probably wouldn't be possible.

"This is Chen Xiaotong, right?" Li Jinhe strode up to Li Xiaotong and asked directly.

A person who seemed to be the chief followed nearby Chen Xiaotong's family and immediately said, "President Li, this is Chen Xiaotong."

Fighting was done by Chen Xiaotong in a moment of hot-blooded courage, but once detained, he lost his temper. Seeing someone like Li Jinhe, who looked like a big boss and was addressed as President Li, he immediately knew who it was, and his face turned pale with fright.

Li Jinhe immediately said with a guilty expression: "Earlier, I misunderstood the situation and caused Brother Chen to suffer, but later I found out that it was my scoundrel son who caused the trouble first, so I don't blame you at all. Here, I sincerely apologize on behalf of my son, and I apologize for my own rashness."

The entire Chen Xiaotong family was taken aback, and Jenny and Lin Pingqing were also equally stunned.

"I know this matter must have caused brother Xiaotong significant distress. Anyone being detained would be scared, but the incident has already happened, and I can only try to make amends. Here is a little something from me, consider it as a mental compensation for brother Xiaotong."

With that, Li Jinhe took out a check and handed it to Chen Xiaotong.

Chen Xiaotong stood there dumbfounded, completely shell-shocked, and his parents, who had not seen much of the world, were similarly at a loss.

The chief took the check on their behalf, smiled, and said, "This resolution is best; it's a mark of President Li's sincerity. Take it, and so the matter ends here; what do you think?"

When the chief casually handed over the check to Chen Xiaotong, he glanced at the amount on the check and his heart was astonished. It was one million; for such a small matter, Li Jinhe gave a million in compensation. The Chen Xiaotong family indeed has a strong background.

Chen Xiaotong took it instinctively, his lips moved a few times, but he didn't know what to say, and his parents were the same.

Having seen the world, Lin Pingqing hurriedly pulled Jenny over to greet him and said, "President Li, is this really settled just like that?"

Li Jinhe looked at Lin Pingqing, a bit puzzled.

Lin Pingqing quickly said, "I'm Lin Pingqing, Xiaotong's cousin is my girlfriend, hello, President Li."

Li Jinhe's expression immediately softened, realizing Lin Pingqing could speak on behalf of the Chen family, he said, "Brother Lin, if there's anything you're dissatisfied with regarding this matter, feel free to let me know, I'll ensure you're satisfied."

Lin Pingqing's heart raced a bit, and he managed to remain composed as he said, "President Li, we have no other requests, just wondering if it's true that President Li won't pursue this matter any further?"

Li Jinhe paused, but seemed to understand something and nodded immediately, saying, "This matter ends here."

Lin Pingqing immediately said, "Good, good, with President Li being so generous, of course we wouldn't have any thoughts otherwise, thank you, President Li."

Li Jinhe also smiled, saying, "In that case, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave first. By the way, here's my business card, if you need anything afterwards, feel free to call me directly."

Lin Pingqing quickly accepted it, feeling unexpectedly excited inside; getting Li Jinhe's business card is not something just anyone can receive.

Li Jinhe left, and Song Xiaodong and Shui Qinghe also left along with him. At this point, they no longer needed to be present.

Jenny then confusedly asked, "Uncle, how did Xiaotong get released?"

Li Xiaotong's father shook his head, saying, "I don't know either; just now the chief told us that it's not Xiaotong's fault, they've already thoroughly investigated, so he was released."
