2219 Interceding
Cao Yanhua frowned, not understanding what she was saying.
"Qiao Nian got someone to chop one of my fingers. I'm still lying in the hospital bed. I don't know when I'll be discharged."
"You said that Qiao Nian…" Cao Yanhua gasped.
It was not that he sympathized with Ji Ziyin, but he did not expect Qiao Nian to be so bold. She actually ignored the Ji family and went to settle scores with Ji Ziyin. She even made Ji Ziyin suffer to the extent… that she needed him to help relay a message.
This was not the usual style of the Ji family and Ji Ziyin.
What kind of backing did Qiao Nian have to make Ji Ziyin lower her head and admit her mistake?
Such an invisible big boss.
At first, they actually thought that the other party was a pitiful little girl who had come to the independent continent for the first time.
When Cao Yanhua thought of how miserable Ji Ziyin was still lying in the hospital and recalled his initial impression of Qiao Nian, he was instantly distracted and did not hear what Ji Ziyin said next.
"… Anyway, Senior Brother Cao, can you help convey my apology? I hope she won't pursue the matter anymore. Please."
Cao Yanhua heard the most important sentence—Ji Ziyin wanted him to intercede with Qiao Nian.
He was still hesitating when Ji Ziyin said softly, "Senior Cao, I remember that I helped you once when you first entered the Level 8 laboratory."
Cao Yanhua's thoughts were instantly diverted. He recalled the time Ji Ziyin mentioned that he had accidentally damaged an important chemical material in the laboratory.
That material was very precious.
The laboratory did not have much stock, either. At that time, he was at a loss and was wondering if he should report it to Shi Fu.
Ji Ziyin heard about this from somewhere and found him not long after, helping him find a substitute chemical raw material.
Cao Yanhua had always been grateful for her help. Over the years, he had helped Ji Ziyin a lot with her research projects.
Ji Ziyin could enter the Level 3 laboratory alone previously also because Cao Yanhua helped her in private.
Cao Yanhua did not expect Ji Ziyin to mention this. He frowned and subconsciously felt a little disgusted. "I remember that matter, but that's a favor I owe 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 convey my apology to Qiao Nian for me.
"I won't blame you no matter the outcome.
"Senior Cao, I'm still in the hospital. I can't go out even if I want to tell her in person.
"Please… I only ask you to help me this once…"
Ji Ziyin's attitude was sincere, and she even sounded a little pitiful.
Cao Yanhua was a man, after all, and he was not good at dealing with these matters. A trace of hesitation flashed across his dark and honest face for a moment before he slowly said, "I can help you pass the message, but I'm not sure if she'll agree."
"It's alright. It's enough that you're willing to convey it to her." Ji Ziyin did not give him a chance to recover and immediately whispered, "Thank you, Senior Cao."
Cao Yanhua actually regretted agreeing so impulsively. However, Ji Ziyin immediately thanked him. He scratched his head and could only say, "It's fine."
