Guo Huining's heart skipped a beat, her drowsiness instantly disappeared.
The caller was Dou Aiyan.
She sat up on the bed, and the phone in her hand felt hot.
"… What did you say? The Monarch Descends Law Office is being investigated?! Why? "She asked guiltily," Did they do something wrong? Or did someone do it on purpose? "
"How could you not know if the Monarch Descends Law Office is fine?" Dou Aiyan mocked, "You're not that forgetful are you?"
"Don't blame me, you were the one who suggested the idea. Now that something has happened, what do you mean by that?" Guo Huining put on her slippers and sat down on the sofa across from her in frustration, "Who's investigating? Don't you have someone? Can't you interfere? "
"… Isn't General Huo your backer now? Can't you ask him for help? "Dou Aiyan pouted.
She couldn't understand what was so good about Guo Huining.
First, she was engaged to a rich young master like Hong Ziqi for so many years. Although they didn't get married in the end, they were still an engaged couple.
After falling out with Hong Ziqi, she immediately got involved with Huo Guanchen …
Huo Guanchen was older than Hong Ziqi, but in terms of social status and personal status, they were worlds apart.
The more Dou Aiyan thought about it, the more upset she became. But now that Guo Huining had someone supporting her, even if she didn't like her, she still had to be polite to her.
Guo Huining thought about Huo Guanchen and shifted uncomfortably on the sofa. She leaned against the back of the chair and said quietly, "… How can I trouble General Huo for such a small matter? He doesn't care about the police. "
"Oh, you're a good wife and mother already?" Dou Aiyan was about to explode, "I sent you the photos from the Monarch Descends Law Office. Take a look and you'll know why I asked you to ask General Huo for help."
Dou Aiyan hung up the phone, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back and would fall out with Guo Huining, who was becoming more and more hypocritical.
She sent the photos to him.
Guo Huining received the photo and opened it. She was speechless.
The photo showed the scene of the police raiding the Monarch Descends Law Office. It was very eye-catching, and the person standing with the commanding officers was none other than Huo Shaoheng!
No wonder Dou Aiyan was so sure she could ask Huo Guanchen for help.
This was his son's doing!
Even an idiot would know that Huo Shaoheng was abusing his position to avenge Gu Nianzhi.
But why did he have to pick on the Monarch Descends Law Office?
Didn't the Monarch Descends Law Office help Old Madam Hong to send a lawyer's letter to refute the rumors?
They were speaking up for Gu Nianzhi …
Guo Huining didn't understand and quickly asked, "But this is Huo Shao's job, right? What was the point of looking for General Huo? General Huo can't possibly say that his own son is wrong … "
Putting herself in Huo Guanchen's shoes, she didn't think that complaining like this would be of any use. Instead, it would leave a bad impression on him.
Guo Huining felt that she understood too well the importance of a son in such a wealthy family.
She wasn't arrogant enough to think that she was more important to Huo Guanchen than his only son, Huo Shaoheng.
"Also, how can I speak up for this matter? If I speak up, won't General Huo know that I'm in contact with them? Then what if he thinks of my video refuting the rumors … "Guo Huining was even more nervous, she didn't want to ruin the image she had just created.
Dou Aiyan snorted, "Guo Huining, you only know one thing, you don't know the other."
"I'd like to hear the details." Guo Huining smiled teasingly, "As long as Aiyan can convince me, I'll definitely speak up."
Pfft, she's already panting even though she hasn't even started yet. Dou Aiyan secretly cursed, but still had to put on a brave face and said to Guo Huining, "It's like this, Huo Shao's job dictates that he can't interfere with domestic affairs. This time, he brazenly interfered without any hesitation. This is already a taboo, he might even be breaking the rules. "
"Breaking the rules is a big taboo for people in their line of work. You don't understand, but General Huo definitely does."
Dou Aiyan's words reminded Guo Huining and quickly said, "Oh right, how could I have forgotten about this! Huo Shao really can't interfere with domestic affairs! "
She actually didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, but after working with Hong Ziqi and Xue Jingjiang for so many years, it was impossible that she didn't know anything.
Now that she heard Dou Aiyan speak so bluntly and combined it with what had happened in the past, she completely understood.
"Yes, but we didn't expect Huo Shao to personally cause trouble for the Monarch Descent firm. Although they acted quickly, Huo Shao obviously had more responsibility. Tsk tsk, he even threw away his future just to help Gu Nianzhi get back at him. Huining, you killed two birds with one stone this time, you're amazing! "
Dou Aiyan spared no effort in praising Guo Huining.
Guo Huining was a little pleased with herself.
Although someone had given her advice behind the scenes, she had come up with the main idea herself.
The other party had only stated her attitude, but hadn't said anything specific.
Dou Aiyan loved to see Gu Nianzhi hate her, but couldn't do anything about it.
It would be even more interesting if Dou Aiyan could become Gu Nianzhi's stepmother in the future.
Thinking of the arrogant Huo Shaoheng and the arrogant Gu Nianzhi lowering their noble heads in front of her and calling her "Mom", she felt that her life hadn't been in vain.
The corners of her mouth gradually curved into an indecipherable smile. She fiddled with her phone for a while and suddenly wanted to call Huo Guanchen to test his tolerance.
Looking around at the low-key but luxurious bedroom, she knew she couldn't go back.
She thought that her previous penthouse apartment had allowed her to cross the social class and enter the upper class.
Now she realized that she had been a frog in a well.
She was still thinking about it when she instinctively dialed Huo Guanchen's number.
At first, she only had Huo Guanchen's personal secretary's number.
Later, she said that she was worried that something had happened to grandfather Huo and she couldn't contact Huo Guanchen immediately. Huo Guanchen gave her his private number.
Thinking about it this way, Huo Guanchen must have feelings for her, right?
After the call went through, Guo Huining's heart beat even faster, pounding against her chest. She felt that the room seemed to be even more stuffy.
It rang a few times before Huo Guanchen picked up.
A lazy, deep, and sleepy mature male voice sounded from the phone, "Hello? Miss Guo? Why are you calling so late at night? "
Sure enough, he treated her differently!
Guo Huining's chaotic emotions immediately calmed down and she said gently, "General Huo? I'm sorry to disturb your rest. It's like this, you know that I'm a lawyer and most of my friends are lawyers too. I just received news that Huo Shao took his men and raided a law firm. I think you should know about this as soon as possible. "
Huo Guanchen was stunned, "… What did you say? Shaoheng took his men to raid a law firm? "
That shouldn't be …
How could Huo Shaoheng interfere with domestic affairs?
Guo Huining saw that Huo Guanchen's reaction was within Dou Aiyan's expectations and her voice became even gentler, "Yeah, I just heard it from my friends. They sent me a photo, I'll forward it to you."
As she spoke, Guo Huining forwarded the photo Dou Aiyan had sent her to Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen received the photo and opened it to take a look. His eyes flickered slightly and his expression was unreadable.
