Chapter 32: Chapter 32: I Have Repaid Your Favor!

Ji Rui’s cold gaze swept over the two policemen, as for the thug, Ji Rui didn’t even spare him a glance, instead, he shifted his focus directly to the face of Le Tong standing by the window.

Le Tong met the man’s deep and indifferent eyes, still not recovered from the sudden turn of events, the indifferent man approached her like a cold wind.

"Let’s go!"

Before Le Tong could react, her arm was firmly grasped by the man, involuntarily following Ji Rui to the door.

Ji Rui opened the door, pushed Le Tong out first with one hand, and then turned his head to those two officers standing dumbfounded and said sternly.

"My lawyer will be here shortly, think carefully about how you’re going to give me a reasonable explanation!"

The police station was slightly warmer than outside, yet it was only a few degrees, but the two officers were sweating profusely out of nervousness.

Ji Rui, after coming in, hadn’t asked any questions but was very certain that his secretary was definitely the one being bullied in this den of wolves.

Ji Rui tossed out that remark and without glancing back at the two, swiftly exited, the glass door closing with a "bang" behind him.

The thug sitting in the chair only reacted at this point, jumped up to curse and was about to chase after them, "Fuck you, XX..."

The officer taking notes responded quickly, yanking him back to sit in the chair while shouting sternly!

"Sit down! You can’t afford to mess with that man, not even a thousand Brother Qiangs could touch him!"

The officer was now wishing he could chop this damn thug into pieces, blaming himself for his bad luck and blindness. Had he known the woman was President Ji’s secretary, he wouldn’t have dared to touch her even with a thousand guts!

They couldn’t afford to offend Brother Qiang, but this President Ji, even their chief couldn’t afford to offend him!

Outside, Le Tong walked a few steps, remembering the big bag of groceries she bought at the supermarket was still at the station, she turned around intending to go back, "President, I still have some things I didn’t take..." That was her dinner and breakfast for the next week.

"Just buy again." Ji Rui’s long arm grabbed her, pulling her back without caring if she was willing, placing both hands on her shoulders and directly shoving her into the car parked outside the station.

Le Tong was still somewhat in a trance, within just a minute or two, the situation had completely reversed. Just now she was still suffering the insults and provocations of that disgusting man, but now, she was safely sitting in Ji Rui’s car.

Le Tong looked up at Ji Rui’s expressionless face, opened her mouth, wanting to say thank you.

Ji Rui gave her a deep look and suddenly said, "Your favor, I’ve returned it."

Le Tong blinked in surprise, realizing after a moment that Ji Rui was referring to the time she helped with food preparation last Saturday.

That day, Ji Rui was indeed a bit pushy, but for more than an hour of work, he paid her a full day’s overtime salary, so there was actually no favor owed.

Therefore, she felt Ji Rui said this purely to make her feel better.

"Thank you, President." This thank you held no substantial meaning, but she honestly couldn’t think of anything else to say.

Ji Rui ignored her, sitting upright with his laptop on his lap, intently reviewing a spreadsheet.

As for why Le Tong was brought to the police station by the officers, why she brazenly begged him, her boss, for help, he seemed not to be concerned at all.

"President, where to now?"

The driver drove the car out of the alley, looking at Ji Rui through the rear-view mirror and asked.

"To the supermarket."

Le Tong immediately understood, Ji Rui intended to take her to the supermarket.

"Brother Li, no need to take me there, you can just stop the car, I’ll just get off here and walk over." Le Tong quickly said to the driver in front.

The supermarket was just across the road, a few minutes’ walk at most, but the car would have to go all the way under the far pedestrian bridge to turn around. During rush hour, traffic was moving very slowly, driving there could take a few minutes quickly or half an hour slowly.

She felt troubling President Ji to make a trip was already asking too much, how could she further trouble him by wasting time on the road?

Driver Li felt uncertain, and hesitantly asked, "President..."

Ji Rui’s gaze fell on Le Tong, scanned her up and down, then moved his focus back to the screen, and said lightly, "Let her get off!"
