Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive - Chapter 149

Chapter 149: This Princess (9)

Ling Tao had a bad taste in his mouth when he walked out of the hotel. All of a sudden, he remembered that time when Ling Tianya called the police on Ling Yuqing, he asked the family attorney Mr. Bai to handle it. Back then, Ling Tianya handed him a cell phone and said there was something in that phone he should listen to, but Mr. Bai told him the content might have been illegal and it was best to be handled by the legal department. Hence, he gave the phone to Mr. Bai without much thought. Thinking back on it, maybe there was really something important in that phone.

With that thought in mind, Ling Tao had the driver take him to work. When he got to the legal department, Mr. Bai was not there.

“Where is Mr. Bai?” Ling Tao asked as he walked over to Mr. Bai’s office.

An assistant in the legal department came over and respectfully answered, “Mr. Bai might have gone to the Commerce Bureau.”

Ling Tao nodded. Then he pointed at Mr. Bai’s locked office door. “Open it. I need to get something from inside.”

The assistant hesitated. “President, we don’t have the key to Mr. Bai’s office.”

Ling Tao frowned. “No key? Does the administrative office have it? Go ask!”

The assistant shook her head. “The administrative office doesn’t have it either. According to Mr. Bai, there are important company documents in his office and we shouldn’t take the risk. So, he changed his office’s lock and only he has the key.”

Ling Tao was unhappy about the fact that he couldn’t access places in his own company! On a second thought, Mr. Bai could be right. The legal department handled a lot of confidential documents daily and being cautious was not wrong. Ling Tao had always trusted Mr. Bai, in all those years.

Ling Tao decided not to pressure the already scared assistant and left the legal department. He thought there was no big hurry to get the thing as long as it was with Mr. Bai. Then, he called the driver to take him home, because he thought it was time to have a conversation with Qu Wan about Ling Yuqing.

As time went on, Ling Tao had gradually calmed down from his earlier fury. At the end of the day, he still felt guilty when it came to Qu Wan. When she was already in her forties, she got pregnant with his child. Just a few months away from having the baby, she had a miscarriage after being hit by Ling Tianya. Ever since then, Qu Wan’s body would ache every time it rained. As a result, Ling Tao treated Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing very well. In his mind Qu Wan had made a lot of sacrifices for this family.

Ling Yuqing was Qu Wan’s only daughter, who she had always protected. Ling Tao had treated her as his own daughter all those years, until that day when she made such a huge mistake. If Ling Tao didn’t do anything that time, it would break Tianya’s heart.

On the other hand, Ling Tao didn’t want to hurt Qu Wan either. He was furious a minute before, but he couldn’t decide what to do anymore.

Without warning, the driver upfront stepped on the brake abruptly. Not wearing his seatbelt, Ling Tao got thrown into the back of the front seat by momentum so hard that he could see stars.

“What the hell are you doing?!” Ling Tao scolded. The driver had always been very good, what was wrong with him?

The driver was also aghast. “President, a man jumped right in front of the car! I almost hit him.”

Ling Tao realized there was really a man clinging onto the windshield of the car, face covered in sweat, passionately hitting the glass. Taking a closer look, the man had no hands. His two arms were like two stumps, hitting the windshield like a drum.
