Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

"boss!"

Monk pushed the door open, nearly slamming the door frame against the window frame.

A few drops of coffee spilled from Lin Ting's hand. She wiped the accidentally damaged door frame, barely maintaining the composure expected of a boss: "What happened?"

"Engineer He got beaten up!"

Lin Ting suddenly stood up, all composure vanishing instantly: "Who did this? What happened?"

“I don’t know the specifics, I only know that Engineer He went to measure the land today and then got beaten up.” Monk followed Lin Ting outside. “The call was from the hospital.”

"Is he badly injured? How is he?"

"It's said to be just a superficial injury."

"Don't trust what the emergency room says, get there right away!"

However, it turns out that the emergency room only deceives colleagues, not family members.

He Ping was really alright. When Lin Ting and the others arrived, he was sitting on the hospital bed eating an apple, and there was even a girl taking care of him.

He looked fine and was in good spirits. There were no external injuries on his face, but his left arm was in a sling around his neck.

Lin Ting walked quickly in her high heels. She hurried over, looked at the shoe prints on He Ping's body, and frowned as she asked, "Uncle He, how are you? Have you had a full check-up?"

He Ping smiled and pointed to his head: "The doctor said I have a slight concussion and insisted on observing me... Actually, it's nothing serious, I just bumped my head."

Lin Ting noticed that He Ping's smile was more relaxed and joyful than ever before, as if years of pent-up frustration had finally been relieved.

This……

Could he have been knocked senseless?

Lin Ting turned to look at the simply dressed girl standing by the hospital bed and smiled as she thanked her, "Thank you for your hard work. May I ask who you are?"

The young woman did not answer Lin Ting's question directly, but shook her head and said, "Of course," before turning to He Ping: "Mr. He, since your friend has arrived, I will be leaving now."

She looked to be under thirty, with gentle features, but a faint sadness always lingered in her eyes.

He Ping straightened up, smiled and thanked her, "Thank you for today, take care."

As Lin Ting watched the interaction between the two, a big question mark appeared in her mind.

Judging from their conversation, they must not be familiar with each other. But there also seems to be some kind of intriguing connection between them.

The age gap between them is quite large, so they couldn't possibly be exes!

After saying goodbye to the girl, He Ping looked at Lin Ting with a questioning gaze.

Lin Ting instinctively replied, "Taozi, could you see this young lady off for me?"

"No need, you're busy."

The girl waved her hand and left in a hurry.

Xu Tao followed after him, determined to carry out the task Lin Ting had given her.

After she left, Lin Ting forced herself not to think about the relationship between the two and asked about the important matter: "Uncle He, what exactly happened? Weren't you going to take measurements on-site? Why did you take action?"

He Ping couldn't help but sigh, and the smile on his face faded.

"Boss, this job is tough..."

He Ping arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday. He first visited a few friends, intending to bring them into the team.

He happened to have no social engagements scheduled for this morning, so he thought he'd take some time to visit the site first.

The journey to the first alley went relatively smoothly. Although the residents looked at him with hostility, they didn't say or do anything, letting him do as he pleased.

When he reached the second alley—in fact, he hadn't even entered the second alley yet—he was blocked by someone.

Those who blocked his way were naturally the local residents, a group of strong young men. He Ping had just managed to say something when a brick was thrown at him, hitting him squarely on the left arm.

He Pingzhen never expected these people to act so suddenly. In the last few projects he worked on before going to prison, he had been in a leadership role and hadn't done any on-site surveying work for many years. But he thought that he was just there to take a look at the site and hadn't brought a bulldozer with him, so why should he get beaten up?

Then he actually got beaten up.

Just when he thought he was going to die here today, someone pushed through the crowd and rushed in.

She held the shovel in front of him and said to the others:

"He saved my life, you can't hit him."

Her words left not only the residents bewildered, but He Ping herself was also somewhat stunned.

He was hit on the head by a stone thrown by someone, and he was dizzy. He could see double and couldn't make out the girl's face at all, let alone remember who she was.

The girl glanced back at him and said softly, "Back then... I was sorry, I didn't dare, I'm sorry."

He Ping was still thinking when he was being beaten, but his mind went blank the moment he heard her words.

He realized who the girl was and tried to stop her from continuing, but she turned back to the neighbors she knew every day and said, "Three years ago, I was... I was robbed, and he saved me. If you don't believe me, ask my dad. Anyway... I don't care about anyone else, but you can't hit him!"

She ultimately failed to tell the truth, but she successfully rescued He Ping and took him to the hospital.

He Ping didn't care whether she told the truth or not.

He suddenly had a sense of cause and effect, as if everything was already predetermined.

Lin Ting rested her chin on her hands, lost in thought: "Don't the young people there go to work?"

Lin Ting's abrupt question left He Ping bewildered.

He Ping held his head and thought hard for a while, then shook his head: "No, at least a few of them had proper jobs. I saw some people wearing rubber factory work clothes."

"Instead of going to work, he stays home and fights... That's kind of interesting." Lin Ting muttered to himself and then stopped talking about it. He only said to He Ping, "Uncle He, you should just stay in the hospital and recover. Your health is the most important thing."

Although she was in a hurry, she didn't want He Ping to come to work injured.

Moreover, given the current situation, as long as the demolition issue remains unresolved, He Ping will still be beaten up no matter how many times he goes there.

With worry in his eyes, He Ping reminded Lin Ting, "This place is not easy to demolish; they probably have the intention of extorting a large sum of money from us."

Lin Ting smiled and tucked the blanket around him, saying, "Don't worry, I've already made preparations. I'll have Monk stay with you. Call me anytime if anything happens."

Trying to extort her?

She didn't even go out and ask around; it's already a good deed for her not to extort money from others.

Lin Ting didn't stay at the hospital for long. She left Mengke with He Ping and left with Xu Tao.

Having many people around you has many advantages; you won't be caught off guard if something happens.

"Boss, I have a feeling that these people have been bribed by someone and are deliberately waiting there," Xu Tao whispered to Lin Ting as she drove, expressing her guess.

Xu Tao has been talking a lot more lately, and she occasionally shares her thoughts when she's alone with Lin Ting.

Lin Ting laughed: "Why do you say that?"

“They reacted so strongly just because Uncle He went to check out the land. It’s obvious they’re trying to cause trouble,” Xu Tao continued. “Besides, they were all young people. Why would they need such a big scene to deal with Uncle He alone?”

Lin Ting smiled and nodded: "It's obvious that they weren't waiting for Uncle He there; they probably thought I would come along."

Xu Tao couldn't help but purse her lips and mutter, "They really look down on people."

Lin Ting remained silent.

She now has a full complement of staff, and everyone is strong and healthy.

Even Zhang Liang could beat up three or five thugs without breaking a sweat.

Her secretary's office was a bit volatile.

"Boss, shall we go back to the company?"

"No, go avenge Uncle He."

"Well... I'll take you back to the company first. I can go by myself."

Lin Ting: "...?"
