3965 From Now On, I will Protect You 15
“Huo Mian, don’t slander me.”
“You know better than anyone else if it’s slander. I can show you evidence right now, including the photo you took and the words of the guy who stalked Zhu Lingling… By the way, aren’t you curious where your good minion Zhang Linzhi is now?”
Hearing Zhang Linzhi’s name, Chen Yuning’s face turned darker.
“What? You dare not admit it? Don’t you want to know what he told me?”
Huo Mian was happy to see Chen Yuning’s dark expression.
But it lasted only three seconds before Chen Yuning smiled and said, “Mrs. Qin, I’m afraid you’re mistaken. I don’t know anyone named Zhang Linzhi.”
“You just don’t want to admit it, right? After all, you’re a cop and are very alert… But since you’re a cop, you should know all criminals would leave some clues behind, right?”
“Then you must find the evidence first before questioning me, Mrs. Qin.”
Chen Yuning was arrogant.
Yeah, she had steadied herself and wasn’t terrified by Huo Mian’s words.
Instead, she challenged Huo Mian with her words and arrogant att.i.tude.
“It seems you’d never admit it and you don’t think you did wrong.”
“I did nothing wrong. Why should I admit it? Hehe. That’s ridiculous.”
Then Chen Yuning turned to wipe a table and ignored Huo Mian.
She had come up with an explanation and some excuses even if Huo Mian told something to her parents.
But to her surprise, Huo Mian didn’t say anything; she left with her bodyguards.
Chen Yuning was smug, thinking no one could do anything to her, not even someone as smart as Huo Mian.
But she was mistaken. In fact, Huo Mian came to see her not to interrogate her but to test her att.i.tude…
If she sincerely regretted her mistakes, Huo Mian might be less harsh with her.
But now, Huo Mian knew Chen Yuning was a sinister young woman who could dump her minions without a backward glance.
The woman would be troubled if she stayed around.
Back in her car, Huo Mian didn’t call Qin Chu because she didn’t want her husband, an entrepreneur, to get in trouble due to a careless mistake of his subordinates.
So, she called… Qiao Fei…
Yeah, Huo Mian called Qiao Fei.
She got his number privately when he and Lu Yan came to the city long ago.
Due to his secrecy with his whereabouts and low-keyed way of doing things, few people targeted him in the world.
So, she thought it was safer to call Qiao Fei than call Lu Yan…
When Qiao Fei got the call, he thought he was dreaming.
A number from China?
Curiously, he answered it, “h.e.l.lo?”
“Fei…” Huo Mian didn’t know what to say since it was the first time that she called him.
“Um… Sister Mian?” Qiao Fei asked with uncertainty.
“It’s me.”
“Um…” Qiao Fei paused and glanced at Lu Yan sitting not far from him.
Lu Yan was operating her online bank account on her laptop. When she heard the words “Sister Mian”, she immediately stopped what she was doing and looked toward Qiao Fei.
She looked as if she, too, couldn’t believe that her sister had called Qiao Fei.
“Fei, I need you to do me a favor. I know you have people in China.”
“No problem, Sis. Just tell me what to do,” Qiao Fei agreed immediately.
“Don’t tell Yan about it. I don’t want to distract her…” Huo Mian instructed.
