It was Huo Jingshen.

He remained where he was standing, simply reaching out and grabbing Huo Zexi’s arm with one hand. Huo Zexi couldn’t escape his grip.

“Brother, let go of me! That hurts, that hurts…” Huo Zexi grimaced in pain, his handsome face turning pale. He hunched over, begging and pleading.

“Uncle Liang, take the third young master to the car,” Huo Jingshen ordered.

“Okay, Young Master.”

Huo Zexi’s arm was finally freed and he began screaming, “Uncle Liang, I don’t want to go back! I want to look for that violent woman and sort things out with her! Uncle Liang! Uncle Liang…”

Uncle Liang used to be a soldier. Although he was over fifties years old, he was stronger and more powerful than a weakling like Huo Zexi. He just ignored Huo Zexi’s whining, easily dragging him to the car.

The interrogation room was finally silent.

Huo Jingshen was still standing there. A few of his buttons were unbuttoned on his white shirt, and his sleeves were rolled up. Despite his casual look, his strong aura was unmistakable, especially with his height of 1.9 meters.

No one in the interrogation room dared to say anything else after witnessing the way he had restrained Huo Zexi earlier, including the owner of the bar who had been making noise earlier.

Huo Jingshen looked around the room slowly, then murmured, “Tell me what is owed.”

***

Money could easily solve everything.

Huo Jingshen was very generous and quickly completed all the bail procedures. The owner of the bar also left in satisfaction.

The staff in charge of the transcript glanced at the recorded confession before reminding him, “Mr. Huo, Miss Su’s bailer has not arrived yet.”

Huo Jingshen turned to him and asked casually, “Her last name is Su?”

They were in Nanchang and her last name was Su. Could there be such a coincidence?

“Yes, her name is Su Wanwan,” the police officer replied immediately, then continued, “I looked through her records just now and it seems as though Miss Su left a lot of records in the bureau two years ago. It is simply filled to the brim! Her crimes ranged from fighting, alcoholism, illegal racing, and she was even suspected of concealing drugs! By the way, her father is Su Yuntang, the deputy director of the Radio and Television Administration. However, the bailer she mentioned just now is Mo Weiyi, the young lady of the Mo family-”

“Sign it.” Huo Jingshen cut him off.

It was past one in the morning now, so when the police officer saw how quick he was to settle things, he did not want to cause any more complications either.

The sooner he wrapped things up here, the sooner he could report the completion of his task.

***

As soon as he came out of the interrogation room, Huo Jingshen received an overseas phone call.

Huo Jingshen saw the washrooms straight ahead, and walked over as he answered the phone call.

“Jingshen, I might have to trouble you to make a trip to the airport tomorrow.”

“What happened?”

“It’s Ziyang, he secretly got on the plane just now. He should be arriving in Nanchang by noon tomorrow-”

Bang!

The door of the men’s washroom swung open. Huo Jingshen frowned but before he could process what was happening, a woman barreled into him.

Huo Jingshen was caught completely off guard, and stumbled back a few steps. The woman was about to fall down, but Huo Jingshen had already stretched out his hand to catch her.

Su Wanwan immediately held onto him, grinning goofily.

When Huo Jingshen saw her flushed face, he hurriedly let go of her hand. However, she was still holding on tightly to his sleeves.

“Thank you.” After Su Wanwan was done speaking, she let out a loud burp.

She had drunk more than a dozen bottles of beer at the bar earlier. At that time, she had been drinking ferociously and did not feel drunk at all. However, she really did not expect that she would nearly fall asleep on the toilet seat just now.

After finally getting up and walking out of the toilet, she felt like everything was spinning. Her eyelids felt so heavy that she could not even see clearly anymore.

“I am in the midst of something now. I’m hanging up first.” Huo Jingshen immediately ended the call regardless of his friend’s request as he tried to forcibly pull the woman off him.

Su Wanwan refused to let go of him.

She held firmly onto his sleeves as though they were her security blanket, and breathed in his faintly minty breath that was strangely comforting. She even lowered her head and rubbed her face against his chest.

This man who was highly obsessed with cleanliness frowned deeply, staring at her in disgust and impatience.

This woman had soiled two of his white shirts in just one day.
