Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian and Ou Jun exchanged a glance, each harboring a vague suspicion.
The call was routed through the central hub to Ou Mansion in the Capital City, and the Ou family answered.
"Hello, is that Junjun?" The person answering was Mrs. Ou.
The voice of Mrs. Ou on the other end of the line was slightly anxious.
"Mom, it’s ." Ou Jun responded to his mother and exchanged another glance with Huo Shiqian, confirming his own suspicions.
"Mom, do you already know?" Ou Jun sighed and asked Mrs. Ou on the other end.
Whatever Mrs. Ou said, Ou Jun suddenly fell silent, and after a mont, he said: "Alright, I’ll do my best to speak with Chuyi... I’ll try to persuade her."
"But mom, we can’t put too much pressure on her... And, mom, you need to take care of your health, don’t get too worked up..."
He hung up the phone.
"Aunt?" Huo Shiqian frowned slightly and asked Ou Jun.
Ou Jun, rather helplessly, said: "My mom found out about Chuyi’s situation."
"She wanted to co to Ling County, but I stopped her, so as a compromise she wants to speak with Chuyi on the phone." Ou Jun said, "Therefore, Huo Shiqian, I must talk to Chuyi about this tomorrow, I don’t know if she..."
Towards the end, Ou Jun couldn’t help but sigh.
Hearing this, Huo Shiqian lowered his eyes in contemplation and said: "You don’t need to worry too much, based on my understanding of Chuyi, it’s just a phone call, she won’t refuse."
Upon hearing this, Ou Jun sighed and said: "Let’s hope so, tomorrow, we’ll go to He Mountain first, then deal with this matter."
Huo Shiqian nodded in agreent.
Then the two ended their conversation.
The next day, to accompany Xia Chuyi back to He Mountain, Uncle Xia and his whole family, including Xia Chengzong, closed their shop.
"Let’s go!" Chang Luhui also rushed in from the Police Station, lending a few cars to transport everyone to He Mountain.
This matter was rather strange, initially shocking even Chang Luhui.
However, having worked in the police, he’s seen many unusual things and didn’t say much, simply cooperating fully.
Due to the large number of people going to He Mountain, their group set out in three cars.
As soon as the three cars arrived, the villagers sward around them.
"Hey, the Zhao family sure has prestige, why are there so many cars today?" Soone comnted imdiately upon seeing the scene.
"Indeed, in Heshan Village, only the Zhao family has such status! But what is happening?"
Then the villagers saw people getting out of the cars, so in military uniforms, so in police uniforms.
Although curious, everyone dared not venture closer, fearing they might inadvertently get embroiled in sothing.
At that ti, due to the noise made by the cars, Sister-in-law Hong, who was taking care of Mother Xia inside, ca out to see what was happening.
As soon as she opened the door, she was startled by the crowd.
"I, I haven’t done anything wrong, I haven’t, it’s Aunt Xia herself, she herself..." Sister-in-law Hong stamred, "She contacted the people from the Capital herself..."
Imdiately sensing sothing amiss from Sister-in-law Hong’s deanor, police officer Chang Luhui beca alert.
Then, Chang Luhui glanced at Huo Shiqian, seeing him nod slightly.
Chang Luhui nodded back, turned slightly to his subordinates, and softly instructed: "Take her away, see if anything’s up."
"Yes." As ordered, the subordinate took Sister-in-law Hong away.
