Chapter 1177 - Their First Collaboration (13) (1/2)

Qiao Zhigang was boldly threatening him and this stunned Qiao Lian.

She clenched her fists tightly as she witnessed the situation in the ward.

Qiao Zhigang’s back was to her, so she could not see his expression. But she could see Lu Nanze’s expression as he lay on the bed, unable to move.

His expression was stormy, his usual smile had vanished and he looked extremely serious.

At this stage, he was probably on the edge of a violent rage.

Qiao Lian stared at him from her wheelchair.

She had no idea what sort of choice Lu Nanze would make.

On one hand was his father. If he proceeded with prosecuting, it would mean his father might end up in jail in the case that Qiao Zhigang handed in the account book.

Given this, would he drop the charges?

In a place like Suzhou, if he dropped the charges and protected Qiao Zhigang, then it would become impossible for her to press charges if she wanted Qiao Zhigang punished.

She forcefully bit her lip, feeling distressed as she watched the situation unfold.

Initially, after the abduction incident, she had felt that there was already softening when it came to Lu Nanze.

But now, if Lu Nanze made the decision to protect his father, then the two of them would never be on good terms again.

She cast her gaze down as these thoughts flashed through her mind. Then she smiled bitterly.

Actually, wasn’t that how relationships between people worked?

One moment they would fight for each other till death, the next moment they would be at odds over some advantage or benefit they could gain.
