Hu Hou understood everything with the audio and video recordings He watched the wos to him and the close-ups Qin Qi had shot of hith fro at the camera to turn it off and pluck its memory card out, as if afraid that Xia Lei would snatch it from him
“Don’t worry, Mayor Hu They have not leaked this video You have the only copy in your hands,” said Xia Lei
Hu Hou let out a breath It was a video that they had taken after drugging hiot out He felt a little more reassured at Xia Lei’s words
“Put your clothes on, Mayor Hu The police will be here soon,” said Xia Lei

“Who knows? Maybe this can shake things up for Gu Ke-Wu,” said Xia Lei tentatively
