Hou Tengqi’s expression darkened. The humiliation at his hands felt like yesterday but even more damning was his defeat at Bai Yingtai’s hands. He was physically so taller and stronger than him that Hou Tengqi simply couldn’t even think about ssing up with a man like him.
Yang Bingqing took this as the perfect chance, one again, to fan the flas.
"So your own fiance acts violent toward you and your brother-in-law harasses you like a pervert?" She gasped. "My poor ng Rin is suffering so much...Isn’t she Cheng?"
Lihua’s brow twitched.
Aunt Bingqing is...too cute.
Yang Cheng’s eyes narrowed dangerously. Hou Jielun passing lewd comnts against his wife years ago was still fresh in his mind.
Hou Huan clenched her fists. The attention was well beyond Hou Jielun but yet again, Yang Bingqing was dragging him into the spotlight again and again.
Yang Bingqing sneered. "What kind of an upbringing has the Hou family given their sons? Your sa youngest son threw so very displeasing comnts about that made my husband so furious he left his patient forever. Imagine. Cheng was forced to do that."
Talk lewd about Boss?
Xie Zi Han’s brow twitched hard.
Isn’t that calling upon death wish? Who has ever lived after doing sothing so foolish?
Echoes of shock erupted among the guests.
"Hou Jielun...hit on Mrs. Yang?"
"And he harassed his future sister-in-law too?"
"How is that even possible!?"
Hou Huan took a deep breath and faced the guests.
"I apologize for the ugly confrontation. This wasn’t how the engagent ceremony was planned. There has been so misunderstandings."
The guests were even more shocked to see that Hou Huan was absolutely unaffected by ng Rin’s ordeal. She had just dropped a massive truth bomb about her toxic relationship with her son, yet she wasn’t intervening to know the truth.
"I wouldn’t like to waste everybody’s ti and would kindly ask you to leave."
Mulan silently clenched her fists.
How the hell is the party going in such a wrong direction?
Tonight was an extrely important evening for her. Many of the sponsors and investors were present in this ceremony. Important figures that would give Quantum Gas the push she needed to make it go at even a more massive scale.
But reputation was everything. Hou Tengqi had heavily backed Quantum Gas through a certain doctor, but now his own reputation was crumbling into ruins. To see her connected with him at this point would never work out with the big fishes.
"Who knew Hou Jielun had such a side?"
"But he has never appeared publicly."
"Isn’t it said that he has always been sickly?"
Jia stepped in and faced the Hou family. "I thought it be only Mr. Hou Tengqi I would like to ask so questions but it looks like...Mr. Hou Jielun would need so interrogation too."
"No, he doesn’t."
Commissioner Zhong Kai stepped in and he said, "Superintendent Song."
Jia’s eyes slightly narrowed. "Sir!"
"Before pointing fingers or questions, we must first know the truth. I believe the one to be questioned should also be Miss. ng."
ng Rin stiffened.
"I have been a police officer for years now, so I see a pattern when I feel one. It feels odd that things have fallen quite conveniently for Miss. ng," his eyes squinted.
"First, Mr. Bai got poisoned that brought this ceremony to a stop, the focus naturally fell upon Mr. Tengqi and sohow Mr. Jielun too."
Mingshen shone. "I didn’t know people had a fetish to be poisoned."
"Excuse , Dr. Yang?"
He smiled rrily. "Well, if you are insinuating that sothing feels planned and fake here, then how about you try and get poisoned. It’s a lovely experience, you know~ I think you missed the live show of that actor choking and almost dying, but once the results co out, I’ll be glad to inject so of that forbidden fruit into you too~"
Everyone’s brows twitched. Zhong Kai was the damn Commissioner for God’s sake and it was probably Mingshen in the whole world who could throw him such an attitude.
Zhong Kai smiled. "Sarcasm as always. I appreciate your jolly candor, Dr. Yang, but this is a serious situation.".
"Oh? I thought we were watching a cody drama?" Yang Bingqing smiled dangerously this ti. "A cody drama where a man tries to inappropriately touch a woman, yet the funny climax is that the woman planned it - especially when I, Yang, Bingqing, have witnessed such a disaster happen right in front of my eyes!"
Hou Guangxi gritted his teeth. "There must be so misunderstanding."
"Wow, I didn’t know there is little respect for witnesses. Only Jia is the best police officer in the whole world! Insinuating that this old woman here is lying..." she sniffled.
Zhong Kai said, "I’m not insinuating anything, Mrs. Yang. I just hope to get all the facts straight from all perspectives even if...sobody might look completely innocent."
Jia ca forward and faced him. This was a do or die situation. The decisive mont was finally here.
"Commissioner Zhong is right that we should get all our facts straight. That’s why it’s imperative that we bring everything to the light and question the two brothers because this isn’t just about Miss. ng."
Hou Huan glared. "What do you an? What else would it be about?"
"Mrs. Huan, I would have knocked on the Hou family’s door irrespective of what happened tonight because we have so serious evidence against your youngest son, Hou Jielun."
At that mont stepped in Yong, who before Hou Huan with a smile. Behind Mingshen was Shilin, whose gaze drifted in a particular direction before moving back upon Yong.
"Nice to et you, Mrs. Hou. I have been waiting for this mont for so many years now."
"Who are you?" Hou Huan asked impatiently, sensing a dangerous whiff in the air.
"Aww, co on. You should recognize , right? After all, you are our regular custor - oops! I an...you were our regular custor once upon a ti."
