Yang Qiaoqiao looked at Tong Xuejiao with some helplessness and said, "Sister Xuejiao, don't exaggerate like that, okay? I'm not going without food, drink, sleep or rest."

I feel like I could eat five meals a day.

Tong Xuejiao gave her a look of exasperation. "You've been busy doing so many things lately. If I don't make things more serious so your man can feel sorry for you, when will I ever get around to it?"

Yang Qiaoqiao: ...

She was speechless for a moment at Tong Xuejiao's absurd reasoning.

Huo Beixiao looked at Yang Qiaoqiao with deep affection in his eyes. With Tong Xuejiao present, it was inconvenient for him to say anything to his wife.

But he remembered all the kindness his wife showed him.

Once inside, Tong Xuejiao abandoned her usual carefree demeanor and asked Huo Beixiao seriously, "How's the investigation into the mall accident going? When can we resume operations?"

The shopping mall had a set opening date, but now that this has happened, they don't even know when they can resume the final stages of renovation.

Many merchants who had previously agreed to join the platform have backed out due to this incident.

The opening date was naturally far off.

Huo Beixiao's expression turned colder. "The investigation results so far are still unexpected."

Upon hearing the result, Yang Qiaoqiao and Tong Xuejiao both looked somewhat solemn.

If the accident is caused by human error, people may be more psychologically able to accept it.

However, if it is ultimately classified as an accident, people will most likely associate the cause of the accident with metaphysics.

Once public opinion takes hold, it's uncertain whether the shopping mall can even stay open.

There were some things that Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't ask in front of Tong Xuejiao.

After the two entered the room, Yang Qiaoqiao asked, "Beixiao, Second Brother said that Qin Haiyang just returned when the accidents at the cement factory and shopping mall happened."

Criminal investigation experts from Shanghai also speculated that these two incidents were most likely related to Qin Haiyang, and that following his trail should uncover some clues. Why were they ultimately classified as accidents?

"It has now been confirmed that Qin Haiyang was behind the accident at the cement plant."

Qiaoqiao, do you remember when you told me that You Dongyun and Wu Zhaodi in the family compound suddenly had money?

This accident was caused by them bribing the truck driver.

They told the truck driver to fake a minor accident when he entered the factory, but in reality, the two of them had already tampered with the truck's brakes, turning the fake loss of control into a real one.

Chen Liang and Dai Hu were bribed by Qin Haiyang. Even their previous act of secretly selling cement was done to Qin Haiyang.

Yang Qiaoqiao frowned slightly.

In her past life, she spent her whole life with Qin Haiyang. Although Qin Haiyang was a profit-driven, cowardly, and irresponsible person.

But he still has some sense; without absolute self-interest, he wouldn't dare to cause such a huge accident.

"Qin Haiyang works for the Jiang family. His bribing Dai Hu and Chen Liang to steal cement and causing such a big accident must be related to the Jiang family. Can we bring down the Jiang family through him?" Yang Qiaoqiao asked.

In her past life, she had dealt with the Jiang family for half her life.

Although Jiang Chengzhi is not a force to be reckoned with, Jiang Guozhi is shrewd and calculating, and Jiang Rou is adept at social interaction; they are cunning foxes who are skilled at maneuvering.

In a few more years, the Jiang family's network of relationships will take shape, and their connections in both the political and business spheres will become extremely complex.

It will be even more difficult to bring down the Jiang family then than it is now.

Huo Beixiao shook his head slightly, his expression heavy. "The Jiang family pushed Qin Haiyang forward because they were fully prepared and intended to sacrifice him."

While we were arresting Qin Haiyang, the Jiang family also filed a lawsuit against him, accusing him of abusing his position to purchase building materials at inflated prices and pocket the money.

"Qin Haiyang was willing to be pushed out by the Jiang family as a sacrifice?" Yang Qiaoqiao was slightly surprised. This was definitely not Qin Haiyang's character.

Qin Haiyang, a selfish and self-serving person, is most afraid of death.

He caused such a huge accident; getting caught would mean certain death, yet he was willing to die for the Jiang family!

Huo Beixiao looked at Yang Qiaoqiao with deep eyes, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Yang Qiaoqiao keenly sensed that this matter might be related to her.

But Huo Beixiao clearly had no intention of telling her more.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said gently in his deep, magnetic voice, "Wife, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't worry, everything has been taken care of with the victim's family."

The cement plant will be able to resume operations in another two weeks after the repairs are completed.

The problems at the shopping mall might be a bit complicated, but trust me, I can handle it.

As Huo Beixiao spoke, he placed a kiss on Yang Qiaoqiao's forehead.

Yang Qiaoqiao didn't press the matter further. She nodded, nudged Huo Beixiao, and said coquettishly, "Go take a good shower first, you stink."

Huo Beixiao picked her up in one go, "Wife, let's wash together."

Yang Qiaoqiao blushed and quickly refused, "No! The baby can move now..."

Huo Beixiao flicked Yang Qiaoqiao's nose with his finger, "What are you thinking, wife? When I said we'd shower together, I just meant we'd take a bath together."

"Could it be... that you want to do something else, my dear wife?" Huo Beixiao leaned close to her ear, his hot breath brushing against her earlobe, his deep, magnetic voice full of ambiguity.

Yang Qiaoqiao's face was burning up.

That scoundrel, he's even trying to shift the blame now.

She couldn't help but reach out and pinch the soft flesh of the man's waist. "You're so annoying!"
