“…” Cao Yanhua frowned, not understanding what she was talking about.
"Qiao Nian asked someone to break one of my fingers. I'm still in the hospital and I don't know when I can be discharged."
"You said Qiao Nian..." Cao Yanhua took a breath of cold air.
He didn't sympathize with Ji Ziyin's experience, but he didn't expect Qiao Nian to be so arrogant. He actually ignored the Ji family behind Ji Ziyin and came to settle accounts with Ji Ziyin, and let Ji Ziyin suffer to such an extent... and even asked him to help pass on the message.
This is not the usual style of the Ji family and Ji Zinyin.
How powerful is Qiao Nian's backing that she could make Ji Ziyin suffer and admit her mistake.
Such an invisible boss.
At first they actually thought that the other party was a poor kid who came to the Independent Continent for the first time.
When Cao Yanhua thought of Ji Zinyin's miserable condition still lying in the hospital, and recalled his initial impression of Qiao Nian as a 'poor little girl', he suddenly became absent-minded and did not hear clearly what Ji Zinyin said.
"…Anyway, Senior Brother Cao, can you please apologize to her for me? I hope she won't pursue this further. Please."
Cao Yanhua heard the most important sentence—Ji Ziyin wanted him to come forward and plead with Qiao Nian.
He is still hesitating.
Ji Ziyin whispered again: "Senior Brother Cao, I remember when you first entered the Level 8 Laboratory, I helped you once."
Cao Yanhua's thoughts were suddenly drawn away, and he remembered the time Ji Zinyin mentioned, when he accidentally damaged an important chemical material in the laboratory.
That material is very precious.
There wasn't much stock in the laboratory, and he was quite at a loss at the time, wondering whether or not to report to Shi Fu.
Ji Zinyin heard about this from somewhere and soon found him and helped him find an alternative chemical raw material.
Cao Yanhua has always been grateful for her help and has helped Ji Zinyin with research projects over the years.
The reason why Ji Ziyin was able to complete the Level 3 laboratory independently was also because Cao Yanhua had been helping her privately.
Cao Yanhua didn't expect Ji Ziyin to bring up this matter. He frowned and subconsciously felt a little disgusted: "I remember that matter, but that was a favor I owed you. It has nothing to do with Qiao Nian. I..."
"I know." Ji Ziyin interrupted him: "I don't mean to force you, I just hope you can say sorry to Qiao Nian for me."
"Whether she agrees or not, I don't blame you."
"Brother Cao, I'm still in the hospital. Even if I want to talk to her in person, I can't get out... Please."
"I only ask you to help me this time..."
Ji Zinyin's attitude was sincere and even sounded a little pitiful.
Cao Yanhua was a grown man after all, and was not good at handling these matters. Hesitation and confusion flashed across his dark and honest face. After a moment's hesitation, he slowly said, "I can convey it for you, but I'm not sure if she will agree."
"It doesn't matter. It's enough if you're willing to convey it for me." Ji Ziyin didn't give him a chance to come back to his senses, and immediately whispered, "Thank you, Brother Cao."
When Cao Yanhua said he would convey the message for her, he actually regretted agreeing too impulsively, but Ji Ziyin thanked him immediately. He scratched his head and could only utter: "It's okay."
…
Cao Yanhua answered Ji Zinyin's call before entering the laboratory.
He hung up the phone and walked into the laboratory. He looked around but didn't find the familiar figure.
