"Mr. Luo, can you be more specific? I don't quite understand what you mean. "
Huo Mien didn't dare to think too much about it. After all, this was the guy who was making a fuss a few days ago. Didn't he say that he had a powerful background, that he was from Zhenting, and that he had relatives who were high-ranking officials?
"Two nights ago, something happened to my client's family. He was taken away by the Anti-Corruption Bureau for investigation because he was suspected of corruption. The head of the Ministry of Transportation also came down and said that they would investigate the serial car accident at the university. If convicted, my client, Lu Yigang, will face five to ten years in prison."
"Oh, isn't that good? That's what they mean by 'justice has a long arm'." Huo Mien's lips curled up slightly.
He thought to himself, 'Retribution comes so quickly …'
"But I'm very confused. Why is it so coincidental that something happened to my client's family and the Ministry of Transportation came down to investigate? The media didn't follow up on this incident too much."
"So what do you mean …?" Huo Mien could tell that there was more to his words.
"What I mean is, haha … I didn't recognize you before, so I hope Miss Huo won't take it to heart. I didn't know that you had someone powerful backing you up. You were able to shake up the Ministry of Finance in such a short period of time and even command the Ministry of Transportation to arrest people. This kind of power is truly intimidating. I hope Miss Huo can forgive me for my inappropriate words in the past. I'm calling today to apologize to you. If you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to dinner."
"There's no need for that. I understand what you mean. Since the defendant has been arrested, there's no need for me to sue. However, I don't quite understand what you mean by 'someone powerful'."
"Some things don't need to be said so clearly. Anyway … Miss Huo is very lucky. You're also someone I can't afford to offend. Please forgive me if I offended you in any way."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Mien had a faint premonition in her heart …
She had never told Qin Chu about this incident. Could it be that Qin Chu was involved?
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that the victim was taken away by the Ministry of Transportation to investigate the accident?
Everything was going according to her wishes. If this was the will of the heavens, if the heavens had eyes, she couldn't convince herself.
With a heavy heart, Huo Mien returned to Imperial Park.
Qin Chu hadn't come back yet because he had been working overnight. After Huo Mien came back, he became obsessed with cleanliness.
He wiped the entire living room with a mop. When he was done, he was already sweating profusely.
She was just about to get up and take a shower when she heard the sound of a key unlocking the door.
Then, he became slightly nervous. It was strange. He clearly knew that it could only be Qin Chu and no one else.
But why was he still inexplicably nervous?
"You're not on night duty today?"
She didn't know when it started, but Qin Chu seemed to remember Huo Mien's shift schedule better than she did.
"No, I just had dinner with Lingling and came back."
Qin Chu nodded and didn't say anything. He looked a little tired. He took off his coat and went upstairs to the bedroom.
"Did you have dinner?"
"I did," Qin Chu stopped and turned around to look at Huo Mien.
"Oh." Huo Mien was a little distracted.
"Do you have something to say to me?"
Seeing Huo Mien's worried expression, Qin Chu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes."
"Okay, go ahead." Qin Chu turned around and walked back down the stairs. He sat down on the sofa.
"About my brother's car accident … do you know the person who caused it?" Huo Mien looked at Qin Chu's expression and asked tentatively.
"Mian, don't test me. Just ask me what you want to ask. You know how well I know you."
Qin Chu stared into Huo Mian's eyes, word by word, as if he was trying to see through her …
