From the other side, Chow y and the others walked over and they, too, were puzzled at the new face.
Bai Caishen raised his brow and felt his face familiar.
Have I seen him sowhere before?
It was only Lei Honghui who had recognized him with a soft gasp. "Mr. Hou Tengqi."
"Who?"
Seeing Dong Haoyu beside her, Lei Honghui couldn’t help but throw a sour look, thinking of the failed arrest. Nevertheless, he answered.
"The one and only Hou family of the Politburo Standing Committee."
Jia’s eyes widened. She stared at him from head to toe once again.
Guo Juan scrunched up her brows. "What committee?"
She coughed. "Politburo Standing Committee. It’s the topmost decision making body of Communist Party of China. They are like super top brass of our country’s governance and policies. Very powerful and influential politically. Which is why...I am shocked to see that a person from such a family doesn’t have at least five cars and bodyguards surrounding him. His father is one of the seven core mbers of the Committee, after all."
Bai Caishen then rembered that he has heard of the Hou family now and then. Hou Tengqi’s na was ntioned just once or twice because the children of the Hou family were never much in the lilight. It was easy to forget them.
Hou Tengqi blinked at her. "I didn’t want to unnecessarily call my guards."
"I believe your chief of security would have planned a very ticulous security detail for you. It would pain him imnsely to hear this."
Lei Honghui almost clutched his chest.
People who knew the Hou family would never even dream of talking in a way and in the tone Jia did. She wasn’t rude with her attitude, but she wasn’t fumbling after eting a mber from one of the highest ranking families’ either. People could barely form a full sentence in front of them and here she was going one step ahead of not just talking to him but chiding Hou Tengqi.
Hou Tengqi stared at her.
The remaining mber, a certain devil, finally made his entry with a lazy yawn escaping his lips.
"She is directly calling you irresponsible. Your confused face is almost cute," Mingshen smiled.
Hou Tengqi’s expression imdiately took a one eighty turn at his appearance. "Dr. Yang Mingshen. Fancy seeing you here."
Jia was a little surprised that Hou Tengqi personally knew Mingshen. But the Yang family equally held a powerful position in the Underworld.
Maybe it wasn’t that impossible...
Jia saw a visible change in Hou Tengqi’s aura that exuded a hint of callousness.
I don’t think he is that happy to see Mingshen here.
She paused.
But then again, nobody generally is.
"I feel you are thinking sothing very insulting about , Spicy~" he pouted.
Lei Honghui asked, "Mr. Hou, is there any specific reason for you to co here personally?"
I didn’t get any information that Hou Tengqi was personally coming to Tianjin, he thought. It would have been big news.
Hou Tengqi gave him a pleasant smile. "I thought about surprising my Rinrin. I guess I won."
ng Rin couldn’t stop herself from escaping a light shudder the mont she heard her na from his lips.
Chow y glanced back and forth between him and ng Rin. "...My Rinrin? Wait, so you are...?"
He smiled again. "Well, we wanted to keep it a secret for a while but oopsie I guess~"
Mingshen cocked his brow up and glanced at ng Rin once.
Guo Juan, Zeng Shan and even Ke Yufei couldn’t hold back the shock from covering their faces. They never thought that ng Rin would turn out to have such an influential boyfriend. If things worked out well between them, then she would beco the daughter-in-law of such a prestigious family.
"Oh my gosh..." Guo Juan covered her lips with her palms. "That’s amazing!"
For so inexplicable reason, Chow y couldn’t express the sa thrill. It was the sa case with Bai Caishen, too, who was quietly being the spectator.
Dong Haoyu tapped her shoulder and whispered. "Is anything the matter?"
She wasn’t sure of her own thoughts, so she kept silent. "Nothing. It’s just really shocking to know."
On the other side, Bojing gently held ng Rin’s shoulder and helped her stand on her feet. "L-Let help you."
Without even looking at Hou Tengqi, she was swift to say and bring so distance between them, "I-I am feeling much better now."
"Y-you don’t look like it. I will get so dicine for you-"
"No, no! Like I said..." she tried to smile. "It isn’t aching anymore."
"Now, now Rinrin," he smiled. "If he insists that you need help then you need help. Don’t be stubborn. But I believe they work for Dr. Yang, am I correct? So I am not really sure if Dr. Yang will permit her treatnt."
Huh?
Jia and Lei Honghui cast a bewildered look.
"After all, the Yang family is known for being choosy with patients," his eyes ever so slightly squinted.
Mingshen sheepishly grinned and waved his hand in dismissal. "You flatter too much. I just pour my magic where my heart tells to~ Right now, my heart indeed tells that this poor girl needs so help. Stomach aches can be really nasty. Right, right?"
It was faint but Jia definitely felt the change in the temperature that emanated more from Hou Tengqi’s side.
Just what is the history between them? Damn I am curious now!
Mingshen instructed Bojing. "Take her inside."
"Yes, Boss."
Hou Tengqi smiled. "I will accompany you too."
ng Rin slightly gulped.
"It’s treatnt ti. You stay outside," he ordered in a tone of his dical capacity before which Hou Tengqi stood still.
"Sure. As Dr. Yang says."
Shilin said, "I will help Senior Lu," he politely smiled and left.
Now that the suddenness of his visit dissipated, Zeng Shan rembered her original argunt and exclaid.
"Inspector Lei, did you hear what I said before! Sobody definitely forced Manchu and you have to find out about him!"
Lei Honghui was exasperated.
"Miss. Zeng. We will explore that possibility but we cannot give you any guarantee. Investigation also takes ti, so please be patient."
Hou Tengqi blinked his eyelids rapidly and his head tilted. "This seems to be an interesting conversation. Please tell more about it."
