At night, Shuxin and Tong Qiao went to the mall to buy some daily necessities. They had been running around looking for a house for the past few days, so they were too tired. When they got home, they washed up and went to bed.
Early the next morning, Tong Qiao was woken up by her phone ringing. She groped for her phone in a daze and picked up the call without seeing who was calling. "Hello …"
"Qiao 'er, come back quickly. Something happened to your dad." Xia Daiyun's anxious voice came through the phone.
"Oh …" Tong Qiao answered in a daze. After two seconds, she sat up on the bed. "What happened to my dad?"
"Someone reported that he accepted bribes. Early in the morning, someone came to take your dad away. They said that he was cooperating with the investigation." Xia Daiyun's voice was tinged with sobs. "Qiao 'er, you know your dad best. He doesn't even accept cigarettes when he helps someone with a favor. How could he accept bribes?"
"Mom, don't worry. I'll come back now. Trust me, Dad will be fine. No one can accuse him of something he didn't do." Tong Qiao said as she got out of bed.
"Yes … I'm just scared."
Tong Qiao comforted Xia Daiyun for a while before hanging up the phone.
When Shuxin arrived at Tong Qiao's room, she happened to see her packing. "Why are you packing?"
"I'm going home. My dad was reported for accepting bribes and has been taken away for investigation." Tong Qiao didn't stop packing as she spoke, so she didn't see Shuxin's pale face after hearing her words.
Did it still happen?
"Wait for me. I'll go with you."
"Honey, you …" Tong Qiao wanted to tell Shuxin not to go. At this time, people would definitely stay away from their family. She didn't want Shuxin to go with her and be criticized by others. However, when she turned her head, Shuxin was already gone.
Shuxin was determined to go, and Tong Qiao couldn't stop her. In the end, the two of them took a car to the capital.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yue.
Song Li came to pick up Huo Yanqing for work. As he helped him to the car, he said, "Yang Ji called and said that Miss Shu and her friend, Miss Tong, went to the capital early in the morning."
Huo Yanqing stopped in his tracks and frowned. "Tong Wenbin's daughter?"
"Yes, Miss Tong probably received the news that her father was in trouble, but I didn't expect Miss Shu to accompany him." Song Li's brows were tinged with worry, "The hearts of the officials are sinister. I'm afraid it's not safe for Miss Shu to get involved."
Huo Yanqing pondered for a moment. "Push back all our schedules for the next few days and go to the capital."
Song Li was slightly startled. "Alright, The Fifth Lord."
Last night, Staff Officer He had called and told Huo Yanqing about Tong Wenbin. He had also said that Lu Jinshen had gone out on a mission and wouldn't be back for the time being. There was no one in the army who could take charge of the situation, so he hoped that Huo Yanqing could go over and help deal with this matter.
Huo Yanqing still had a nominal position in the army, but ever since the accident five years ago, Huo Yanqing had never returned to the army.
Song Li knew that it was because Huo Yanqing's most painful memories were there, and he didn't want to be reminded of them.
Over the past five years, people in the army would occasionally call Huo Yanqing to go over and deal with some tricky problems or participate in some important exercises or activities, but he had never agreed.
This time, Huo Yanqing had rejected them directly.
However, Song Li hadn't expected that Huo Yanqing would change his mind for Shuxin. After all, going to the army meant that Huo Yanqing would have to face his past all over again.
