After hanging up the phone, he arrived at the parking lot of the residential complex where President Huo lived.
Xia Xing cautiously looked back.
"President Huo, do you need to send a message to the police station?"
Huo Juanyan sat in the back seat, shrouded in darkness, his eyes unreadable.
A silent pressure pervaded the car, suffocating.
Xia Xing nervously swallowed, his insides churning with anxiety.
After what felt like an eternity, Huo Juanyan’s cool voice finally broke the silence.
"Seal off all information that she is the Young Madam of the Huo Family. Don’t let anyone know of her connection to the Huo Family."
"Also, tell the police to handle it as they see fit. Don’t worry about the Huo Family."
Having said this, Huo Juanyan got out of the car, his female assistant wheeling him away.
Xia Xing was utterly perplexed, scratching his head twice. He closed his eyes, exhaled.
When he opened his eyes again, he returned to his composed assistant self.
He immediately carried out President Huo’s orders, sealing all connections between Nan Yu and the Huo Family to ensure no one could find out.
He then dug out a number and called the Police Chief, relaying all of President Huo’s instructions.
"Chief Yang, President Huo said regarding Miss Nan’s matter, your police should handle it as they see fit without considering the Huo Family."
The Chief Yang on the other end was nervously uncertain.
"Is that really what President Huo said?"
"Chief Yang, President Huo specifically instructed not to concern yourselves with Miss Nan’s identity, and to ensure fairness and justice."

At the police station.
At this moment, Nan Yu was seated in a cramped room, under a single flickering white light.
She looked at Yan Ren who was interrogating her.
"Captain Yan, just ask whatever you want to ask."
Yan Ren saw how calm Nan Yu was without a hint of panic, and he furrowed his thick eyebrows, his gaze sharp.
"Nan Yu, where were you half an hour ago?"
Nan Yu replied calmly, "Tonight, I was at the Song Family’s birthday banquet. There were many people present who can vouch for me."
Yan Ren looked at her red dress and took out a prepared photo, placing it in front of Nan Yu.
"Look at this photo."
Nan Yu picked up the photo and examined it carefully under the light.
The person in the photo was dressed in a red gown identical to hers, even the hairstyle was the same, standing beside Luo Ji’s hospital bed.
Due to the angle, the face of the person in the photo was unclear.
"This isn’t me."
Nan Yu put down the photo and stated firmly.
"I have a solid alibi; the person in this photo is definitely not me."
Yan Ren, seeing her confident, not seeming to lie, told his subordinate, "Get someone to check it."
Nan Yu looked at the photo on the table, then raised her head to Yan Ren.
"Captain Yan, may I see the surveillance video?"
Yan Ren met her clear eyes and didn’t refuse; he brought up the video for Nan Yu to see.
"There are two segments of video. In the first, an hour ago, you entered the hospital and went to the floor where Luo Ji was."
"In the second, you sneak in through the window when no one is paying attention, and in under three minutes, you killed Luo Ji."
Nan Yu watched both video segments from start to finish.
The person in them had attire, a walking style, and a physique very similar to hers.
The only strange thing was, there was never a clear shot of the face, and even the profile was too blurry to make out specific features.
Yan Ren crossed his arms authoritatively and stared at her. "Nan Yu, I advise you to come clean. Confess everything. If we find out later, it’ll be too late for you."
Nan Yu lifted her eyelids, her clear eyes reflecting Yan Ren’s face.
She calmly said, "Captain Yan, these videos are fake, maliciously synthesized fake videos."
