Zhang Wenbin’s father-in-law is the director of the Education Bureau, so he is fully aware of the reality of Zhang’s credentials. The fact that he didn’t cause trouble for him, but instead welcomed him as a son-in-law, proves that no one dares to challenge the situation. Even if someone were to discover the truth and file a complaint, his father-in-law could simply turn a blind eye. With his father-in-law shielding him, Zhang Wenbin believed he would never face any consequences.
However, today he acted recklessly in front of Nie Jianxin and infuriated Su Yan. Su Yan then related the incident to Zhao Yongan, and given Zhao’s attitude toward Su, it was clear he intended to conduct a thorough investigation. Zhang Wenbin wouldn’t have been afraid of anyone else, confident his father-in-law could handle it. But facing a man that even his father-in-law feared, he felt a sudden, sharp sense of danger.
Ignoring his injuries, he looked at Zhao Yongan and offered a cautious, fawning smile. "Mayor, who exactly is that young man? How could he possibly earn your special attention? Please, don’t take what he said just now to heart. There was just a small misunderstanding between us. I can resolve such a misunderstanding myself. I’ll go and beg for his forgiveness right now. Tell me, can we just let today’s matter slide?"
