Deputy Director Xiong listened to her words, nodded, and said to her, "As far as procedures go, once the statements are recorded and the identification is complete, you all are free of obligations."
"Finally, we just wait for your fellow officers from H province to come over and collaborate directly on the case."
Xia Chuyi also nodded and said, "In that case, we’ll go buy train tickets today and try to head back to H Province sooner."
Deputy Director Xiong was about to reply.
Guo Jiacheng, who had come out with them, called out loudly to Xia Chuyi, "Ah, little sister, you’re leaving? Why not stay a few more days?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi’s mouth twitched slightly. "Ahem, it’s almost New Year, and I’m worried the family might be concerned."
She spoke with unmatched calmness.
If it weren’t for Sister Fang’s affair, why would she have suddenly come to G City?
Hearing this, Guo Jiacheng immediately showed a look of regret and said, "That’s true, indeed!"
"What a pity I have to help Old Xiong dig into this ’Red Red Red’ case, can’t accompany you further."
"Ah, little sister, next time you come, I’ll take you around G City properly!"
"Our G City is much better than the corners of Huo Shiqian’s Southwest!"
Guo Jiacheng wore a genuinely sincere expression and continued, "So... little sister, why don’t you talk to your Brother Shiqian and have him apply for a transfer to our G State military region?"
For some reason, when Xia Chuyi heard Guo Jiacheng say this, she noticed a mysterious gleam in his eyes.
If Xiao Zhen had heard what was going on in Xia Chuyi’s mind, she would have told her that her instincts were spot on.
His boss, Guo Commander, really did have plenty of schemes, considering bringing Huo Shiqian to the G State military region to make it easy to find someone to compare notes with anytime.
"Thanks, but no need," Xia Chuyi said with a smile, "I trust in all of Brother Shiqian’s decisions."
Although she didn’t know what game Guo Jiacheng had in mind, Xia Chuyi instinctively felt it was best not to follow this guy’s lead.
Hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, Guo Jiacheng’s expression turned even more regretful, and he shook his head: "Little sister, how can you listen to Huo Shiqian?"
"In this new era, shouldn’t women hold up half the sky themselves? How can you still listen to a man?"
"That’s feudal thinking! It must be avoided!"
Smiled, stayed silent.
She felt the best way to deal with someone like Guo Jiacheng was... to ignore him.
Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, Guo Jiacheng’s eyes flickered secretly, and he thought: This Huo Shiqian’s wife is really not easy to fool.
"Ah." Guo Jiacheng had no choice but to sigh and said, "Since that’s the case, I might as well send someone to help you buy the tickets."
"We can also get you sleeper berths."
Guo Jiacheng said this with genuine sincerity.
"This, there’s no need..." Xia Chuyi immediately declined.
However, Guo Jiacheng waved his hand generously and said, "No worries, little sister, don’t be polite with me."
Then, he turned to Xiao Zhen and said, "Go help Mr. Xia and the others buy tickets for tomorrow’s trip to H Province."
Xiao Zhen nodded, thinking: Seems like the Commander is quite reliable in crucial moments.
Very smooth with interpersonal relationships.
Then, Guo Jiacheng continued, "Whatever the cost, keep a notebook, remember it well, and later, tell Huo Shiqian that this money was spent on his wife."
Xia Chuyi: "Commander Guo, whatever the amount, I’ll give it to you."
She always felt, well, Guo Jiacheng’s "kindness" wasn’t exactly a good thing, so she took the initiative to offer him the money.
