Song Li looked displeased. "Secretary Du, The Fifth Lord is talking to Miss Shu." In other words, he was implying that Du Guoguo was not talking to Du Guoguo.
"If she can't handle it, how about I join in?" Huo Yanqing's words had a faint tone of inquiry, but the cold aura he exuded was unusually oppressive.
Du Guohua's face paled, then he received a warning look from He Weicheng. He knew that he had been too impatient just now, so he forced a smile. "I've said too much. Please forgive me, The Fifth Lord."
He Weicheng sensed that Huo Yanqing was unhappy, so he quickly smiled and said, "We'll discuss Tong Wenbin's case in three days."
Even though Du Guohua objected in his heart, he did not dare to say another word.
After the matter was settled, Shuxin and Li Yang left together. He Weicheng had not seen Huo Yanqing for a few years, so he started chatting with Huo Yanqing.
When Huo Yanqing had entered the army, Song Li had noticed that he had been frowning. Now that he was chatting with He Weicheng, he would pinch the space between his eyebrows from time to time. Throughout the conversation, Huo Yanqing gave perfunctory replies, but He Weicheng was very interested.
Song Li saw that He Weicheng had no intention of stopping, so he could not help but find an excuse to interrupt. "Chief of Staff He, The Fifth Lord came to the capital for some personal matters. He has made an appointment for a banquet, and it's about time. Do you think …"
"The Fifth Lord has an appointment?" He Weicheng looked apologetic. "I'm so sorry, I thought The Fifth Lord stayed in the army."
He Weicheng sent Huo Yanqing all the way to the entrance of the army. He watched him get into the car and leave before he turned to go in.
In the car, Song Li glanced at Huo Yanqing through the rearview mirror. Huo Yanqing was leaning against the backseat with his eyes closed. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his calm face seemed to be even more gloomy than usual. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his jawline revealed a hint of forbearance. "The Fifth Lord, are you alright?"
"… Hmm." After a few seconds, Huo Yanqing finally made a sound through his nose.
When Huo Yanqing returned to the army, he would definitely be reminded of the sad past. Even though he was in Fan City, he could not sleep well every night. It was obvious how much the incident five years ago had affected him.
Now that he had returned to the place where he grew up and trained with his father and brothers, listening to the soldiers' slogans on the training ground, smelling the familiar scent in the air, the scenery was still the same, but the people had changed. One could imagine the feelings and sadness in his heart.
However, he had always kept a poker face and was good at enduring. Since he said that he was fine, Song Li did not dare to ask any more questions. However, he was even more worried.
"Send more men to Yang Ji. Tell him to protect Shuxin well." Huo Yanqing's deep voice rang out in the silent car.
"Okay." Song Li calmed down for a while, but he still could not help but ask, "The Fifth Lord, can Miss Shu really find out who framed Tong Wenbin in three days?"
"Let her experience it. If she can't, there's still me." His deep voice was tinged with endless affection.
Song Li saw a faint smile on Huo Yanqing's lips when he said this. It seemed that when he talked about Miss Shu, all the negative emotions on his The Fifth Lord's face disappeared.
It seemed like he had to give Shuxin a call later and tell her that The Fifth Lord was not feeling well, so he asked her to come over and accompany him. Then, she would accompany him to bed in the middle of the night. After that, Little Huo Huo would come out. The old madam would definitely be overjoyed …
"Don't disturb her. Let her focus on the case." Huo Yanqing's indifferent voice interrupted Song Li's beautiful imagination.
