As Boss Zhao was speaking, his phone rang.
He picked it up and answered.
"Where are you, you rascal?"
A coquettish young woman’s voice sounded, and Old Zhao’s face turned bright red.
He was likely driving with the phone automatically connected to the car’s Bluetooth, so the voice came directly out of the car’s speakers. Li Jingsheng could definitely hear it clearly, as long as he wasn’t deaf.
"Ahem...I’m almost there, I’m talking to Boss Li right now!"
After speaking, Boss Zhao quickly hung up the phone, not waiting for the other party to say anything, fearing she might say something explicit that Li Jingsheng would hear, which would be very embarrassing!
"Um...excuse me, excuse me. A female client insisted on discussing something with me, so I had to agree. I better get going, women, you know, they’re bothersome, she might start urging me again soon."
Boss Zhao explained with a forced laugh.
He probably didn’t even believe himself.
Li Jingsheng smiled knowingly, "I understand, go attend to your business! But since your heart has undergone surgery, it’s best to carry your medication to prevent any incidents."
He casually reminded Old Zhao.
Many men with heart conditions find secretive trysts exhilarating, but a sudden thrill can easily trigger a heart attack. They could just up and go.
"Haha, thanks for the reminder, I’m off!"
Boss Zhao started the car, slowly driving away a bit before accelerating and leaving.
From this tiny detail, one could see that he was quite fearful of Li Jingsheng now.
And rightfully so.
While it’s said that the death at Sunshine 2 Clinic was likely the result of his covert operations or guidance, dealing with the landlord’s shrew of a wife was entirely the handiwork of Li Jingsheng.
Moreover, after the incident at Sunshine 2 Clinic, the thunderous actions of various departments further instilled in Boss Zhao an extreme fear of Li Jingsheng’s influence.
If shutting down Huimin Pharmacy was the result of Station Chief Qiao’s actions,
Then this incident at Sunshine 2 Clinic went far beyond Station Chief Qiao’s capabilities.
There were definitely bigger players behind this.
South City, after all, is a place with deceptively deep waters.
Boss Zhao is a clever and sly person; all he wants is to keep his head down and make money, earn just a little more.
As Li Jingsheng watched Boss Zhao leave, he couldn’t help but sport a slightly wicked smile.
This Old Zhao, it’s one thing to go after younger women, but to have an affair so close to home, isn’t he worried his wife will find out?
Even though the woman only said a coquettish line just now, Li Jingsheng easily recognized it as the voice of the owner of Furuiduo Pharmacy across from the Quick Recovery Clinic.
He definitely wouldn’t be mistaken, her voice is quite distinctive, with that flirtatious tone that’s impossible for ordinary women to imitate.
When he previously stopped by the Quick Recovery Clinic, he suspected that Boss Zhao had business dealings with Furuiduo Pharmacy. Many of the health supplements at Quick Recovery Clinic were similar to those from Furuiduo Pharmacy.
