Chapter 2372 So He’s Ian (3)

With Huo Mian’s intelligence, she would be suspicious if he had said more.

“Honey, I have a meeting in the morning. I’m heading out now...”

I’ll drive you.” Qin Chu immediately stood up, dropping his unfinished slice of bread.

“It’s okay, I can go myself.”

“No, I’ll take you there.” Qin Chu wouldn’t let her go to work alone no matter how hard she tried.

In the end, it was Qin Chu that insisted on driving Huo Mian to South Side.

Before she got off the car, Qin Chu held Huo Mian’s hands and looked deep into her eyes. “Baby, I’ll pick you up when you finish work, don’t leave by yourself.”

“I don’t even know when I’m getting off work yet. If a surgery arises, I may need to do overtime.”

“That’s fine... I’ll wait for you. The important thing is you have to wait for me to come and pick you up.”

“Um...alright then...” Huo Mian nodded before turning and walking towards the hospital.

Qin Chu waited until Huo Mian entered the hospital before he drove away.

Across from the hospital was a humble alley.

Ian stood there, smiling. “It looks like her husband’s very protective of her.”

“Boss, should we grab her?” a minion behind him asked.

“No, kidnapping is getting boring. I have a better game...” Ian smirked.

After Huo Mian entered her office, Chen Jie came in with a stack of documents.

“Deputy director, these are the materials for the morning meeting... you can go over them first...”

Huo Mian looked up at Chen Jie and smiled. “Why are you back so soon? Didn’t I give you a long vacation?”

Due to Chen Jie and Ni Yang’s status as newlyweds, Huo Mian made sure to give her an extra-long holiday.

Although Huo Mian didn’t expect her to return so quickly, she appreciated the familiar presence.

“I can’t rest for too long... It’s too boring...” Chen Jie smiled.

“That brat Ni Yang’s okay with you coming back to work?”

“Of course... He’s busy writing new songs every day too. We both should get back to our lives... It’s probably not good to spend too much time together...” Chen Jie’s face ruddied.

“Alright, put down the files, I’ll take a look later.”

“Okay, don’t forget to drink lemon water. Apparently, it has whitening properties...” Chen Jie reminded.

Huo Mian nodded with a smile...

After Chen Jie left, Huo Mian entered deep thought; one question was on her mind...

Recently, everyone seemed to want her to take a vacation...

Huo Siqian asked her about it... and so did Qin Chu...

How bizarre... was something big about to happen?

Did they not want her to know something? Huo Mian was suspicious but she didn’t know who to ask...

She turned on the office T.V.; Mo Xue’er’s memorial was being broadcasted...

Donning a black suit, Huo Siqian had in his hands Mo Xue’er’s portrait, walking at the very front of the procession, followed by a myriad of fans.

Even the long-disappeared Jiang Ye was among the crowd.

Su Yu didn’t attend the event but he sent sympathy flowers. They were all part of the entertainment circle, after all. In addition, there were many celebrity attendees from Star Imperial. After all, this event was also a great way to gain more exposure.

Huo Mian watched the live broadcast for a while and after she realized that there weren’t any valuable clues, she grabbed the documents and headed towards the meeting room.

-The city’s largest Funeral Parlor –

Gao Ran brought the police force to keep the area safe and orderly. They were there for preventative measures. After all, it was a crowded event filled with many different voices.

Inside the police car, Gao Ran opened up his coke can, anxious as could be.

“Director Gao, it’s been such a long time. We’ve sent out the warrant... Why can’t we find the suspects? There are very few foreigners to begin with... They should be very apparent... Unless... they’ve already left town? They’ve run away?” An officer brought up his concerns.
