Chapter 615 - I’m Sorry, I’m Late (1/2)

Huo Jinyao thought that Qi Xiwei and Lian Jin had gotten into this mess because of their divorce.

What he didn’t expect was that Lian Jin was Shen Mingzhu’s younger brother.

Of course, he knew about Shen Mingzhu. Shen Mingzhu had someone tamper with the car. In the end, Qi Xiwei’s mother died.

And it was Huo Jinyao’s doing that led to her being sentenced to 15 years in prison. He never expected that Shen Mingzhu’s family would come to take revenge on Qi Xiwei one day.

What did this have to do with Qi Xiwei? Shen Mingzhu killed someone and paid with her life. She was supposed to pay the price.

Where did Lian Jin get the right to make Qi Xiwei pay the price? Even take revenge on Qi Xiwei?

Now, he didn’t know what Qi Xiwei was thinking. If she decided to take revenge, Huo Jinyao would definitely help her.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Qi Xiwei’s eyes were empty, and she looked very lost.

“Let him be.” The child was gone anyway. She had nothing left, so she didn’t care about losing it.

“But –”

“Jinyao, thank you for helping me so much. But I’ll take care of the rest myself.”

Qi Xiwei turned to look at Huo Jinyao. The expression in her eyes seemed to have changed slightly. Huo Jinyao was a little worried.

“I think that since he’s not letting you go, you have to think of a way to solve it, right?”

“Then that’s my business.”

“Xiwei, we’re friends.”

“Jinyao, I thank you, but there are some things that I have to solve myself.”

Qi Xiwei looked exhausted. Huo Jinyao wanted to say more, but he knew that she wouldn’t listen to him anymore. He could only think of getting more people to keep an eye on him if he had the chance.

With him around, he believed that Lian Jin wouldn’t be able to act recklessly so easily.

“By the way, Jin Yao, there’s something I really need your help with.”

“What is it?”

“I want to meet that child.”

Huo Jinyao was taken aback by this request. “Xiwei, you –”

Qi Xiwei blinked her eyes and met his gaze. Her expression was unusually determined and stubborn. “No matter what, he’s been in my stomach for seven to eight months. I want to see him.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t think that this was a good idea. Looking at the stubbornness in Qi Xiwei’s eyes, he nodded helplessly.

“I’ll go ask around for you.”

In fact, he didn’t know where the baby would be placed in the hospital. He needed to ask Su Qingsang.

“I’ll have to trouble you.”

Huo Jinyao glanced at her worriedly. He wasn’t sure whether or not she would lose control when she saw the child later.

He left the ward, then instructed Yang Wenchang’s men to guard the door of the ward and not let Lian Jin in.

He went to the OB/GYN department’s office by himself. However, Sun Huiya just happened to come out before he entered.

She was on the phone and her eyes lit up when she saw Huo Jinyao. She quickly hung up the phone and walked to Huo Jinyao.

“Director Sun, is Qingsang here?”

“Is she here? Don’t you know? Qingsang was taken away by the police.”

“What did you say?”

This time, it was Huo Jinyao’s turn to be shocked. His expression suddenly changed, and he took half a step forward.

“Tell me clearly, how did Qingsang get taken away by the police?”

“It’s like this.” Sun Huiya explained the situation in the morning, and she was also anxious. “How could Qingsang have murdered that child? We all saw it. The child was already dead when it was born.”

In fact, Huo Jinyao had delayed the delivery of the child for too long. However, it wasn’t a matter of delay at all.

Even if Huo Jinyao had sent Qi Xiwei to another hospital, the child still might not have been able to survive. The lack of oxygen had been too long, and the child’s body was already weak when it was in its mother’s body.

When Sun Huiya and Huo Jinyao were in C City to help with the disaster relief, she had become familiar with Huo Jinyao. She couldn’t conceal the anxiety in her voice.

“Jinyao, you can’t doubt Qingsang’s medical ethics, much less her character. She would never do such a thing.”

“I know, Director Sun. I know everything. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter.”

He turned around and left. At the moment, Huo Jinyao couldn’t care less Qi Xiwei’s request to see the child.

He took out his phone and began to make a call. His eyes were much piercing than it had ever been.

Su Qingsang would kill someone? What a joke. There was no need to say anything else. It must be Lian Jin’s doing. He must have thought that the child was still alive. In order to force him to hand the child over, he deliberately called the police and had them take Su Qingsang away.

After hanging up, Huo Jinyao turned around and was about to go to Qi Xiwei’s ward. However, he stopped after taking two steps.

Lian Jin. He would remember him.

..

Su Qingsang was denied bail after being interrogated. The reason was that she hadn’t figured out her problem yet.

Huo Jinyao looked at the person in front of him and said in a cold voice, “Director Zhao, I’d like to ask, what crime did my wife commit?”

Director Zhao was sweating profusely when he saw Huo Jinyao coming straight to his door.

How did he know that his subordinates were so insensible? How could they offend the almighty that he couldn’t afford to offend?

Who in Rong City didn’t know about the Huo family? Not to mention the Huo family’s position in Rong City. Although the eldest one from the Huo family had retired, his son was now on his way up, not to mention that the great-aunt of the Huo family was married to a Commander.

He recalled the news he received that Huo Mingguang’s cousin, Huo Mingfan, was about to be transferred to the province. Director Zhao’s back broke out in cold sweat.

“It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

“A misunderstanding?” Huo Jinyao looked at the time. “It’s been more than six hours since you took my wife away. I want to ask, are you saying that you invited my wife to assist in the investigation? Since it’s to assist in the investigation, then it proves that you have no evidence to prove that my wife committed a crime. Since you have no evidence, what reason do you have to hold my wife hostage?”

“President Huo, look, my subordinates are too muddle-headed. I’ll release your wife right now.”

“It’s only natural for you to release my wife. My wife didn’t do anything wrong. I’m here to explain this to you.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We’ll definitely give you an explanation for this matter.”

Director Zhao originally wanted someone to bring Su Qingsang out, but how would he dare to let anyone else bring her out now?

He directly led the way and brought Huo Jinyao to the place where was kept.

After Su Qingsang arrived, she asked to make a phone call, but no one actually paid attention to her.

Not only did they not let her talk to anyone, they also didn’t let her leave, but when they asked them to produce evidence to prove her guilt, these people could not produce it.

It was fine if they couldn’t produce it, but they still insisted on blaming her for dereliction of duty. They said that the baby’s death was because of her.

Su Qingsang was at a loss for words towards these people. These people were really ridiculous to the extreme.

What she didn’t know was that the stern-looking male policeman was Lian Jin’s classmate. Lian Jin found him and told him to teach Su Qingsang a lesson.

Since she couldn’t get out, Su Qingsang wasn’t in a hurry to get out. She began to wonder who was trying to make things difficult for her.

Huo Yifan and Su Peizhen were both in jail. The second trial was over, and the original verdict was upheld for both of them.

She wanted to go over to visit Xiang Caiping, but a few times, she didn’t know how to face Xiang Caiping, so she could only give up in the end.

Xiang Caiping needed time, and so did she. So from the second trial of Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan’s case until now, Su Qingsang hadn’t seen Xiang Caiping.

Could it be Xiang Caiping’s handiwork? Su Qingsang immediately rejected this idea.

Based on her understanding of Xiang Caiping, it was unlikely that she would do such a thing.

Who was that? Qi Xiwei? Su Qingsang shook her head immediately. Losing her child was indeed a sad time for her.

However, if Qi Xiwei was that kind of person, Huo Jinyao wouldn’t have become good friends with her. Perhaps she had made a mistake?

Su Qingsang’s mind was running wild. She thought of many possibilities and dismissed them one by one.

The male police officer in the middle came twice, and asked her to confess. Su Qingsang was speechless. She had always had high respect for the police and soldiers.

Especially since Zhang Yichen had saved her last time, she had regarded these type of people as heros of the people.

But what was the situation now? The other party had no evidence, but still wanted her to confess?

She was still wondering why the policeman was targeting her like this and refusing to let her go when the door of the small dark room opened.

She thought that the police officer was here to make her confess again, so she sat there without moving.

She didn’t expect that it wasn’t the police officer who came this time, but Huo Jinyao. Beside him was a middle-aged man in a uniform.

Su Qingsang glanced at him. Before she could say anything, Huo Jinyao had already walked up to her.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms. There was someone else besides them, so Huo Jinyao’s warm gesture made Su Qingsang feel a little embarrassed.

She was more relieved and relaxed, and she trusted Huo Jinyao.

It was great that he was here.

She knew that he would definitely come bail her out, but she didn’t expect him to be so fast.

She thought that she would have to stay there for a day, and that she would have to stay there for 24 hours like people did in TV shows.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

He actually didn’t realize that Su Qingsang had been taken away by the police in the first place, so she suffered there for a few hours.

Huo Jinyao felt very guilty at the thought of this. He let go of his hand and stepped back a little. He placed his hands on Su Qingsang’s shoulders and looked her up and down.

“How are you? Are you okay?”

Su Qingsang shook her head. After all, times were different now. Even if they wanted to make things difficult for her, they couldn’t really do anything to her.

Huo Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw a man and a woman standing behind Chief Zhao.

The two of them looked at Huo Jinyao in shock, and the man’s face looked even more amusing.
