He smashed his phone on the ground and glanced upstairs, stubbornly standing there, staring at the entire apartnt ablaze with light.
He couldn’t believe that Huo Jinnan could stay in there without coming out!
After a long ti, his eyes darkened, and he suddenly squatted down slowly to pick up the phone. The screen and casing were shattered, but it was still responsive.
He dialed 110 and spoke softly, "17 Tianyuan Road, there’s a blockade, possibly a gang."
After hanging up the phone, he returned to his car and gripped the steering wheel tightly, pulling the car to the side.
Half an hour later, the entire police force from Tianyuan police station rushed to Quanhu Villa, surrounding the entire apartnt.
The leader, eyeing Quanhu Manor and thinking they had caught a big fish, commanded, "A few of you, go and stake out the back. We must not let anyone escape."
Once the deploynt was complete, he made a call for backup from his superiors, and soon a wave of police cars arrived.
Hearing the siren, Qin Shaojin walked out to the balcony, took a glance below, and closed the curtains.
Back in the living room, he looked at Huo Jinnan and whispered a few words to him.
Che Huan watched from the side, not understanding what they were saying, but saw Huo Jinnan light a cigarette and toy with it in his hand.
Seconds later, Huo Jinnan glanced at Che Huan, stood up, and walked toward her.
Che Huan stood up, about to speak, when Qin Shaojin looked at her, "Gu Jizhou reported the police. If you don’t want this to spread, you should go upstairs and hide with Brother Huo for now."
"..." Che Huan bit her lip, looked at Huo Jinnan, and without uttering a word, followed his steps.
On the third floor, Huo Jinnan signaled the leader to go to the next room, taking Che Huan to another.
Without turning on the light, it was very dark, with only the sound of their breathing.
Che Huan stood there, her heart pounding wildly!
She glanced at Huo Jinnan, not understanding why hiding here would prevent the searchers from coming up.
Huo Jinnan swept a glance at her, "Scared?"
Che Huan bit her lip and remained silent. She was scared; he was Gu Jizhou’s uncle, and she was still Gu Jizhou’s wife in the eyes of the law. How could she not be scared?
Seeing how calm Huo Jinnan was standing there, she suddenly didn’t understand. Wasn’t he afraid? If this got out, what a scandal it would be!
Even if nothing untoward was happening between them, would others believe it?
Huo Jinnan lowered his eyes, staring intently at Che Huan with a deep gaze.
Che Huan turned her gaze away, standing there, trying to stay calm, just hoping that Lawyer Qin would get rid of the uninvited guests downstairs quickly!
On the first floor, the police knocked on the door and no one answered, so they broke in and saw Qin Shaojin elegantly sipping red wine on the sofa, which left them montarily stunned in the doorway.
After a few seconds of silence, the team leader looked at Qin Shaojin, "Don’t move, we’re here for a surprise inspection!"
He turned to his two subordinates, "Go, take his wine for inspection."
Qin Shaojin put down the red wine and stood up, "Search warrant?"
The leader presented the search warrant. Qin Shaojin glanced at it, "On what grounds?"
"Soone reported that there is suspected gambling here."
Qin Shaojin laughed and pulled out his lawyer’s ID from his shirt pocket, handing it to the leading officer with a resonant voice, "Since you’re here, you’d better search thoroughly! If you can’t clarify things, nobody is leaving here."
The leader, hearing this tone, felt sothing was amiss. He took the lawyer’s ID and glanced at it, his face turning green.
Qin Shaojin stood there, elegantly rolling up his sleeves, "Go ahead with the search."
