Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Let It Go_1 Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Let It Go_1 Lawyer Chen was given a do-or-die mission this time: if He Rongxi could not be released today, he might as well forget about continuing his career in the provincial capital.
Luckily, he was quick-witted and had plenty of working experience from the ground up.
After leaving the Huo Family, he began making enquiries in town, and the more he found out, the more excited he became.
In the end, he happily headed towards the farmers’ market.
In the afternoon, the class headteacher finally allowed everyone to leave. Qiao Jingxuan refuses to give up, scrutinizing everything tirelessly many times over, but couldn’t find anything wrong.
It was clear that Huo Beijiang had acted with restraint.
Reluctantly, Qiao Jingxuan finally left with the headteacher. But his eyes were cold and bone-chilling.
His fists were clenched tightly, and he remained silent. His emotional state had fluctuated from being out of control to shouting in anger, then to quiet endurance.
And it only took a few hours.
Nan Fei had recovered and was insisting on being discharged from the hospital. She happened to see all this while she was in the corridor seeing off the headteacher.
She paused for a moment, and her eyes became filled with an icy killing intent.
After her rebirth, she didn’t immediately take revenge on Qiao Jingxuan mainly because there were significant differences between him now and him in her previous life.
However, she just realized these differences no longer existed.
She was lost in thought for a moment. When she turned her head, she saw Huo Beijiang walking in, trailed by someone wearing a police uniform.
The county police headquarters had been in chaos since morning, dealing with brawls and illegal gambling. Ying Jiuming was busy until noon before he finally had a chance to take a drink of water.
“Boss, we’ve got a problem.”
“The Director ordered you to release He Rongxi immediately. He just got a call from higher up.”
Only then did Ying Jiuming remembered what Huo Beijiang had said last night.
He muttered to himself, that kid must have known it in advance, right?
“Release him. Let He Rongxi go immediately.”
“There’s a girl, too. Release her as well. The Director is furious about this. He wants you in his office.”
Going to the office means getting scolded!
Ying Jiuming stood up abruptly and said calmly, “Understood, I’m going right away.”
Ying Jiuming spent nearly forty minutes getting chewed out in the Director’s office before he could leave.
As soon as he got out, he heard a commotion in the reception room. When he went in, he couldn’t help but laugh when he saw who was there.
Huo Beijiang was also there, with a stern expression on his face. And standing next to him was none other than the girl he had feelings for, wasn’t it?
“Student Nan Fei, do you think you can accept what I mentioned?” asked Lawyer Chen as he adjusted the glasses on his nose, his critical eyes continually roaming over her.
After leaving the Huo house, he had gathered quite a bit of information in town.
The key wasn’t the Huo Family, but the Jiang Family.
The beautiful girl standing before him was once promised to the Huo Family, and the fight had occurred at Nan Fei’s house.
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on his lips. Humph! He had warned Huo Linong early on, but that man didn’t appreciate the gesture. He had no one else to blame now.
Ying Jiuming had just entered and didn’t know anything yet! He raised an eyebrow in confusion at Huo Beijiang, who responded with a malicious cold laugh.
Ying Jiuming shrunk his neck, thinking he was screwed! The delay in the release would definitely cause trouble.
This guy holds a grudge!
“Student Nan Fei, how does a thousand sound? I went to your house this morning…” Lawyer Chen dragged out his sentence, scanning Nan Fei up and down, intending to give her a disdainful look. However, a chilling gaze came from the side, making him uncomfortable.
Finally, he had to suppress his pride and adopt a humble and polite attitude.
