An official state After that, all the phones in the Special Ops base continued to ring off the hook, up until the day of Dou Qingyan’s trial, three days later Most of the calls were fro to ask for Huo Shaoheng and plead their case
Once 48 hours had elapsed, the guests detained in the Special Operations Forces base were released, one by one Not all the guests were allowed to walk free, however; some were detained for further observation because their phones showed suspicious activity

“hello, Uncle! You personally came to pick me up?” Jin Wanyi was pleasantly surprised She hurried over to the car
“I orried about you Get in, quick” One of the limousine’s doors opened, and Jin Wanyi stepped inside

Bai Shuang sat in the car Her eyes were glued upon Zhao Liangze’s slender back
Her heart had been shrouded in a dark fog ever since her father’s act of treason; now, finally, a ray of sunshi+ne was slowly parting the fog
