Luo Guoqing said in surprise, "Are you saying that Xiao Xue's death was done by Xiao Hui?"
Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "I'm just suspecting; according to Yao Shunzi's statent, Xiao Hui had a grudge with Hei Pi. On the surface, it seems he has nothing to do with this matter."
Luo Guoqing frowned and asked, "Then why do you still suspect Xiao Hui?"
Lin Chuan said, "I can't really say, it's just a feeling. Old Luo, let's sleep, talk tomorrow."
Suddenly, Luo Guoqing laughed and said, "Lin Chuan, can you really leave Song Xiaojia alone like that? You should go and keep her company."
Lin Chuan laughed awkwardly, saying, "Old Luo, don't say that. There's nothing between Song Xiaojia and . Get so sleep; we have to rush back to Jiangbei City in the morning."
At this mont, Song Xiaojia was in another room, her mind in turmoil, unable to sleep.
She had a strong expectation in her heart, hoping Lin Chuan would co to accompany her.
But that lousy guy disappeared after sending her to the room. Should she, a woman, have to take the initiative to find him?
The longer she waited, the more restless she beca, unable to sleep. Song Xiaojia had almost gone out to find Lin Chuan several tis.
The monts spent with Lin Chuan flooded her mind, her heart completely attached to Lin Chuan.
"Lin Chuan, you idiot." Song Xiaojia lay on the bed, biting her lip, and cursed Lin Chuan under her breath.
Finally, she sat up, walked to the door, opened it, hesitated for a mont, and returned to her room.
She repeated this twice but eventually didn't go to find Lin Chuan. When she finally fell asleep, daylight had already arrived.
Lin Chuan was sleeping in a daze when Luo Guoqing woke him, saying his phone was ringing.
The call was from Tang Yung. Lin Chuan hadn't contacted her all day and night, making her worried. She couldn't help but call him first thing in the morning.
"Lin Chuan, where are you? You didn't call for a whole day," Tang Yung asked angrily as soon as the call connected.
Lin Chuan recounted everything to Tang Yung about the investigation he and Luo Guoqing were conducting.
Tang Yung was shocked to hear that Hei Pi, the killer of Xiao Xue, had also been murdered. Upon learning about Tong Huaiyu's connection with Zhao Bingnan and its significant link to Xiao Hui, she told Lin Chuan not to return yet and to thoroughly investigate Xiao Hui with Luo Guoqing.
Lin Chuan's current status was sowhat awkward, while Luo Guoqing, despite working in the City Committee, couldn't directly interfere.
Tang Yung, wanting to facilitate Lin Chuan and Luo Guoqing's investigation into Xiao Hui, gave them a special identity as mbers of the City Committee investigation group.
This title was sothing Tang Yung ca up with temporarily, and as City Secretary, she had the authority to form such a group.
After discussing with Luo Guoqing, Lin Chuan decided to visit Dragon Brilliance Company directly to et Xiao Hui today.
Looking at the ti, it was 8:05 AM. Lin Chuan quickly freshened up and left the room with Luo Guoqing.
Just as they exited, they saw Song Xiaojia coming out, glaring at Lin Chuan with a mix of anger and warmth.
As soon as Luo Guoqing saw Song Xiaojia's expression, being the experienced man he was, he imdiately understood what was going on. After greeting Song Xiaojia, he patted Lin Chuan's shoulder and laughed, saying, "I'll wait for you downstairs."
After Luo Guoqing left, Lin Chuan walked up to Song Xiaojia, noticing the faint dark circles under her eyes, realizing she hadn't slept well, and jokingly said, "Why didn't you sleep a bit more? You're turning into a panda."
Song Xiaojia showed no smile, glaring at Lin Chuan, and said, "Lin Chuan, are you trying to abandon here?"
Lin Chuan was taken aback. He and Luo Guoqing were going to handle serious matters, planning to let her sleep in and co back to find her after finishing their tasks, and said awkwardly, "Old Luo and I are just going out for so errands and will be back soon. You slept late yesterday, so we didn't want to disturb you."
"Liar," Song Xiaojia's eyes suddenly welled with tears.
Seeing Song Xiaojia's tears about to fall, Lin Chuan quickly said softly, "Really, Xiao Jia."
Song Xiaojia could no longer hold back her emotions and suddenly threw herself into Lin Chuan's arms, softly sobbing.
Lin Chuan was unsure whether to embrace her or not, and softly said, "Xiao Jia, can we talk in the room?"
Song Xiaojia wrapped her arms around Lin Chuan's body, saying nothing, just shedding tears against his chest.
The door of the neighboring room made a sound, prompting Lin Chuan to lift Song Xiaojia and take her inside his room.
"Xiao Jia, listen to ," Lin Chuan pushed her slightly away, looked at her face, and said, "I really didn't intend to leave you alone. I'll co find you after handling business."
With Luo Guoqing waiting downstairs in the car, Lin Chuan had no ti to hold Song Xiaojia longer.
Song Xiaojia had stopped crying, her face still streaked with tears, looked at Lin Chuan with tender eyes, and said, "Does your head still hurt?"
Lin Chuan touched his bandaged head and laughed, "It's nothing. I never thought that after going through so much, I'd end up getting hurt by a little girl like you."
Song Xiaojia burst into laughter, gave Lin Chuan a charming white-eyed look, and said, "You rascal, who told you to make angry?"
Seeing Song Xiaojia laugh, Lin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah, it seems from now on I shouldn't dare make you angry. If you ever get really mad and cripple , what would I do?"
After saying that, Lin Chuan laughed loudly, turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
Song Xiaojia didn't quite understand what Lin Chuan ant at first, but by the ti she realized, he had already left the room. Blushing, she muttered to herself, "Rascal."
...
Ever since Tong Huaiyu and Zhao Bingnan were investigated, Li Huaishan always felt a bad on. He called his son Li Xiaohui several tis, telling him to co ho quickly.
Li Xiaohui received the call from his dad, Li Huaishan, and only returned ho after a week.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Li Huaishan with a gloomy face, staring coldly at him and saying, "You little brat, you still rember to co ho, huh?"
Li Xiaohui threw down his briefcase, walked over to Li Huaishan, sat down, put his arms around his shoulders, and laughed, "Dad, haven't I been too busy with work? I'm sorry."
Li Huaishan pushed Li Xiaohui's hands away and said, "You little brat, be honest with . How much did you borrow from Tong Huaiyu?"
Li Xiaohui said, "Dad, just that amount. Haven't we already paid it back?"
Li Huaishan suddenly burst into fury, stood up sharply, and pointed at Li Xiaohui, saying, "You brat, how long are you going to keep deceiving ? Don't you know if Tong Huaiyu spills everything, our family is done for."
Li Huaishan's wife erged from another room and said to him, "Our son hardly cos ho, can't you talk to him nicely?"
Li Huaishan, filled with anger, turned and pointed at his wife, saying, "I haven't even ntioned you yet. Did Old Yan, the manager from Liu Group's project departnt, give you 300,000 yuan or not? Why didn't you tell ?"
Li Huaishan's wife wasn't one to back down and said, "Why are you yelling? Yes, I took 300,000 yuan from Old Yan. That was his kickback for introducing business to their group. That money was rightfully mine."
"You wasteful woman." Li Huaishan was so angry he could barely speak, "You, you imdiately return that money to them."
Li Huaishan's wife said, "Return what? That money's long gone."
Li Huaishan was shaking with rage and rushed forward to hit his wife.
Li Xiaohui quickly held Li Huaishan back and pulled him to sit down, saying, "Dad, dad, calm down. Let's talk this over."
Li Huaishan's wife was relentless, saying to Li Xiaohui, "Son, look at your father, just because he beca a county secretary…"
"This county secretary you talk about has been completely ruined by you, wasteful woman." Li Huaishan interrupted, pointing at his wife.
Li Xiaohui quickly signaled to Li Huaishan's wife and said, "Dad, it's just 300,000 yuan. I'll give it to mom later so she can return it."
Li Huaishan's wife stord into the other room angrily. Li Xiaohui stood up and poured a cup of tea for Li Huaishan, saying, "Dad, have so water and cool down."
After drinking two sips of water, Li Huaishan looked at Li Xiaohui and said, "Brat, I don't care how you do it, but pay back the money you borrowed from Tong Huaiyu in full."
"Dad, my company doesn't have money right now. Can we talk about it in a few days?" Li Xiaohui said.
Li Huaishan shouted, "Don't you see the situation we're in? You careless brat, the issues with Tong Huaiyu and Zhao Bingnan have garnered serious attention from the city. You need to repay that money before Tong Huaiyu confesses everything so I can stay uninvolved. Do you understand?"
"Alright, I'll find a way to pay it back within two days." Li Xiaohui realized the seriousness from his father's words and said.
Hearing Li Xiaohui say this, Li Huaishan's face softened a bit, and he said, "Xiao Hui, you and your company need to be cautious and restrain yourselves a little, understand?"
"Got it, dad. I'll be careful." Li Xiaohui said.
After having a al with his parents, Li Xiaohui left ho, drove along the highway, heading straight to Jiangbei City.
Within a few hours, Li Xiaohui arrived in front of the Liu Group office building.
The chairman of Liu Group is none other than Yang Zi. Could there be so entanglent between Li Xiaohui and Yang Zi?
Entering the office building, Li Xiaohui went directly to Yang Zi's office.
"President Yang, you have to help this ti." As soon as he walked into the office, Li Xiaohui said to Yang Zi, who was sitting at the desk.
Yang Zi looked up at Li Xiaohui and said, "What's with you, shouting for help the mont you co in?"
Li Xiaohui, with a troubled expression, said, "President Yang, my dad wants the money I borrowed from Tong Huaiyu to be repaid within two days. Where am I supposed to find such a large amount of money? I can only turn to you."
