CHAPTER 325
"What is worse is that you are unaware of her status as the granddaughter and sole heir of Mr Lin Zian, Chairman of Lin Enterprise."
*DRUM ROLLS*
It felt like a bomb was flung his way and it exploded in his ears. He had been too busy trying to get his family company back on track that he did not bother with the news.
"You jest. You think I do not know that all of this is a prank. You can't fool me," Duan Tian boasted about his sense to them.
Li Jing could not believe that his foolishness knew no bounds. How could one be so delusional?
"I never thought you were this stupid Duan Tian but today I know that your stupidity is only at the starting point. Each time I see you, you become more and more foolish. Okay, let me prove to you that I am not all talk like you and your fiancé Li Xiu. Lock him up for the damage he caused to my car."
"What? Li Jing!" He took a step forward in her direction but before he got the chance to take another step forward, two of the cops stood in his way and blocked his path.
It was at this time he calmed down and darted his eyes from one cop to the other before letting his gaze rest behind them to the dazzling beauty staring sweetly at him.
"And what do you think you are about to do? Tsk, it is like you really do not like these hands of yours," the head cop said to Duan Tian.
"And do you think you can harm me?"
"Not them, I would."
Instantly everyone moved their gaze to the back to see the one who spoke.
Duan Tian was more than shocked when he saw the entourage behind the man that spoke. It was a man in his late fifties. He had a streak of grey hair on his shining black hair that was well combed to the back.
He was wearing a blue military uniform with matching black military boots. The aura about him spoke of power, dominance, and bravery. He had a cold look on his face as he stared ahead at Duan Tian.
"Sir! Good morning sir!" The cops immediately saluted and stepped to the side after which.
He saluted back and walked forward. Li Jing smiled a bit when she heard his voice. He was the last person she was expecting to see here of all times but she was happy that he was there nonetheless.
"Greetings Grand uncle.+ Li Jing bowed her head in greeting and walked up to meet him where he stood smiling at her.
"If it isn't my darling grandniece. How are you? Did this scoundrel touch you in any way? Did he harm you? Just say the word."
"He did not lay a hand on me thanks to the cops here that prevented him from doing so. Furthermore, he insulted me so much, grand uncle."
Lin Liqin's eyes dimmed when he heard that his grandniece was insulted by this man. He carefully scrutinized Duan Tian, looking at him from head to toe like someone who did not matter.
Upon noticing the dangerous stares he was getting, Duan Tian gulped and lowered his head. He did not need someone to tell him that this was a high ranking officer in the military and what was more, was that Liu Jing called him her grand uncle.
What was worse was that he knew she was not bluffing or he was a fake. He was the real deal. He had once seen the man on the news and could recall who he was. He was an Air Vice Marshal then, when he saw him speak on TV.
"Air Vice Marshal Lin Liqin," Duan Tian murmured to himself. He could still not believe his eyes. He was standing in the presence of such a powerful person.
Even more, if he was her granduncle, then that would mean her claim just now to being the heiress of Lin Zian was not a lie but the bloody truth.
"Young man, you have the guts to raise your hand to want to hit my grandniece, tsk."
Duan Tian raised his head and shook while raising it to look at the now serious Lin Liqin. "It looks to me you want them to be broken by beating right?"
"No sir. I am sorry sir. I never intended to. I was just apologizing to her for smashing her car."
"You did what?!" Duan Tian quickly sealed his lips. Who had asked him to speak?
He just placed himself in even greater trouble. Who was he to say that. "I am asking you, what did you just say? You smashed the car I gave to her as a gift?"
*GHANN!*
Duan Tian felt his heart clench at the thought of what could happen. It was like he offended the devil today. He could not believe how terrible his luck had run out.
If he had known that this was what would happen, he would have accept it when she wanted to leave and not bother with her or try to ask her to dinner.
Now, he not only put himself in trouble but made things more difficult for his family.
"Please sir, it was not intentional. It was a mistake on my part."
Ignoring him, Lin Liqin turned to face Li Jing and smiled at his grandniece. "Dearest niece, what do you want to be his punishment for insulting you?"
"I was going to lock him up for all his crimes, granduncle."
'Alright then. Although it is a light punishment but I believe my dear grandniece is forgiving."
"Li Jing, please. I would do anything, please," Duan Tian pleaded with her.
"I see, well your current state can't fix the car but because you had attempted to hit my grandniece and even insulted her, you would be locked up for three days without bail. That should give you more than enough time to reflect on your wrong doings."
"No sir!" Duan Tian knelt down andf clasped hius hands together in front of them and begged.
"Take him away."
"No sir. Li Jing, please. I am begging."
Quickly two of his men came forward and picked Duan Tian up, taking him into their vehicle.
"My dear, I am sorry you have the likes of him still causing you trouble. Do not worry,, I would sort things out for you. The next time anyone so much as try to hit you, I would make sure they regret doing that dearly."
"Thank you granduncle but there is no need. I can defend myself."
"I understand, Li Jing but I insist. How do you think my brother would react when he finds out that his beloved granddaughter was hurt. It would feel like I am not doing a good job to protect you."
'But that is not your job. Grand uncle has already done enough to help Li Jing. Granduncle shouldn't do more and stress himself."
"Sigh, says who I am stressing? It is my duty. We failed to better protect Qinyang and look; no one knows what happened to her. I cannot risk that. It would kill my brother if he lost you too. So I must do my part and protect you with all I have got."
Li Jing felt touched by his words and did not know when a tear escaped her eye lid. Even though his wife and third sister were acting like gold digging tramps, he was completely different from them. It was as though the men in the family had sense apart from Lin Jingyi of course.
"Hey, do not cry." Li Jing shook her head and wiped her tear away. "Thank you so much."
"No dear. It is nothing. I like your person and I am happy to protect you. I justy wish I had done better in Qinyang's time. I cannot let my b rother fall into the deep darkness from having to lose the tyree most imposrtant women in his life."
"Grandfather wouldn't lose me. He would always have me to take care of him."
"I am glad you feel that way and I hope it stay so."
Li Jing nodded at him still maintaining her dreamy sweet smile. "By the way, where were you heading to and how did you know that I was here?"
"So many questions, young one," Lin Liqin said trying to evade the question.
"Granduncle, no… I want to know, tell me," Li Jing protested.
"Fine. I recognize the car I bought for you anywhere and anytime. There is only this colour of this type of brand in the world. So I know it. Secondly when I checked my radar to be sure, my tracker indicated that you were here."
"Tracker?"
"Yes. I placed one in your car. It is to ensure your safety, my dear. Should in case you go missing or you were kidnapped, I would be able to trace you. Everyone knows you are your grandfather's weakness and they would want to exploit that. You need to be careful."
"Thanks. I would be."
