Capítulo 1153: Chapter 59
As a national leader, how can such a person be forgiven?
The leader looked at Huo Shiqian and said, “Let’s hear what you have to say.”
Huo Shiqian frowned, organizing his thoughts, thinking about how he should respond.
At this mont, Xia Chuyi stepped forward and said, “Senior official, I can explain this matter.”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at her.
Xia Chuyi saw her husband indicating with his eyes for her to step back, assuring her he would handle it.
However, Xia Chuyi remained firm and subtly shook her head at Huo Shiqian.
Although the ultimate goal of this affair wasn’t aid at Xia Chuyi, the other party did indeed start from her to muddy the waters.
So, as the one involved, how could she sit still?
“As my father-in-law said, during my study exchange abroad, I completed a year’s coursework in half a year and returned to the country,” Xia Chuyi said calmly.
“Therefore, I ca back a long ti ago and honestly, I’m not aware of the situation in the United States.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu interjected, “Is it unclear just because you say so?”
Xia Chuyi remained composed and continued, “A mont ago, Mr. Liu ntioned that I often called the United States to contact my classmates, thus implying my actions prove I’m contacting a traitor and suspected of espionage…”
At this point, Xia Chuyi paused, glanced lightly at Mr. Liu, then said, “But Mr. Liu, do you know? The calls I made to my classmates were just in the past few days.”
“Unfortunately, every ti I called, they were unable to answer.”
“This fact should actually be reflected in the phone call records from earlier, as the call durations were too short.”
Xia Chuyi’s words directly provided the most compelling evidence that she had no contact with the so-called traitor.
“Who knows if you used another thod to communicate!” Mr. Liu retorted.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, “There’s one more thing Mr. Liu might not know…”
“This classmate, Huang Feifei, and I did not get along well when we were in the United States.”
“Of course, Mr. Liu might say I’m deceiving everyone, but my classmates in Arica can testify to this,” Xia Chuyi said with imnse composure.
“If you don’t even trust my classmates,” Xia Chuyi continued, “then you can investigate so restaurants near the school…”
“We’ve never included her in our group dinners even once.”
“Even in the letters I wrote to them after I returned to the country, Huang Feifei was never ntioned.”
With this, Xia Chuyi paused, shook her head again, and faced Mr. Liu, “So, what does her behavior have to do with if we weren’t on good terms?”
Although Xia Chuyi’s self-defense didn’t provide substantial evidence, it was logically coherent.
Simultaneously, she pointed to several areas that others could investigate.
In this manner, Mr. Liu’s accusations were completely incorrect.
“You…” Mr. Liu was still uncomfortable, “but this doesn’t prove you’re not a spy!”
“After all, you’ve been in contact with that couple, so your suspicion can’t be cleared!”
Saying this, Mr. Liu turned to face the senior official and said, “Senior official, I understand that everyone might feel she’s being wronged.”
“But in matters like this, it’s better to wrongly punish than to let go!”
