Qin Shaojin quickly received an invitation from the prosecutor’s office.

He played with a pen in one hand and held the phone in the other, "Whether I take it or not is still uncertain; I’ll go over and check it out first."

After hanging up, he called Huo Jinnan back, "Brother Huo, you’re really something, playing the game so well. Am I your private attorney?"

Huo Jinnan, driving with Che Huan, was on the way to Donggang, "We’re family, no need for formalities."

Qin Shaojin, "Tonight..."

Huo Jinnan, "Not in Hong Kong, going out of town for a few days."

"Going out of town at a time like this, how strong is your mental fortitude? Brother Huo, you’re amazing."

Qin Shaojin stood up, suddenly feeling a bit uneasy.

Huo Jinnan, "Hanging up now."

The call was cut before Qin Shaojin could respond. Really gone out of town? Hope he didn’t run off alone.

He called Qin Huan.

Huo Jinnan saw it and handed the phone to Qin Huan.

Qin Huan answered, "Hey, Third Brother."

Qin Shaojin, "Isn’t Brother Huo home?"

Qin Huan, "Mm."

Qin Shaojin nodded, understandingly smiling, "He went out?"

Qin Huan gave another "Mm," glanced at Huo Jinnan, wondering how Qin Xiaosan would feel knowing Huo Jinnan was listening in?

Qin Shaojin paused, then lit a cigarette, "Not cool, how can he leave you alone..."

Qin Huan chuckled lightly, "I’m in his car."

Qin Shaojin, "..."

Is Huanhuan teasing him? All the "Mm mm mm," only to end with a line saying she’s in Brother Huo’s car!

A few seconds later, he exhaled a puff of smoke, "How could you guys, as parents, abandon Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi to enjoy yourselves? Have you thought of the two kids..."

Huo Jinnan overheard and took the phone from Qin Huan, hanging up directly.

He looked at Qin Huan, "He’s jealous."

Qin Huan bit her lip and nodded.

Qin Xiaosan seemed genuinely overwhelmed lately, leaving Wen Nuan to idly send her WeChat messages non-stop every day.

Taking this rare moment to relax, leaving Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi behind, brought an unusual sense of guilt, half sea, half fire kind of feeling!

Since giving birth to Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi, she seldom left home except for when she was detained that time.

Today is the second time!

Missing Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi, yet feeling a liberating kind of ease, finally getting rid of the two little burdens!

Huo Jinnan played some relaxing country music in the car.

Qin Huan closed her eyes, leaning against the seat, "Are you really at ease?"

Huo Jinnan turned his head to look at Qin Huan, "The plan is set, no matter where I am, I’m always in the Central Palace."

Qin Huan nodded.

Falling in love with Huo Jinnan, indeed meant a lifetime together.

...

Qin Shaojin arrived at the police station in the afternoon, met Wei De, and elegantly extended his hand, "Hello, I’m the prosecutor’s lawyer, Qin Shaojin."

Wei De looked at Qin Shaojin and shook his hand.

Qin Shaojin sat across from Wei De.

Wei De looked at Qin Shaojin, "What are you here to see me for?"

Qin Shaojin smiled innocuously, "I’m here to give you a rundown of past cases where foreigners were sentenced to death in China."

Wei De’s expression changed as he looked at Qin Shaojin.

He had already guessed that he and Huo Jinnan were in on this together!

He spoke out excitedly, "It was you guys, you planted it in my room."

Qin Shaojin set down his phone and papers and adjusted his collar, "Mr. Wei De, you’re quite smart, focusing on the charges foreigners faced in death penalty cases in China."
