Brother Huo's few words of advice completely dispelled Qin Suisui's last bit of drunkenness, and she subconsciously reviewed the chain of evidence she currently possessed in her mind.
"Senior Brother Huo, is there any way to keep the prisoners interrogated by Director Sun a secret for the time being?"
"I'll have Yueqi call you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Huo!"
Qin Suisui looked up and smiled sweetly at Huo Zhongyuan.
Her smiling face, so close yet so far, was as radiant as spring flowers, and the sparkle in her eyes was captivating.
Huo Zhongyuan's breath hitched, and he struggled to look away.
"Need not!"
Although his tone was firm, a warmth gradually began to grow in his heart, as if the ice had been broken.
Qin Suisui was momentarily speechless at her senior's brief tone, and the car fell silent.
The driver, Xiao Zou, sat anxiously in the front, constantly glancing at the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye.
In the past, President Huo was always calm and composed, and this was the first time he had ever seen President Huo so flustered.
He has been driving for President Huo for almost seven or eight years. When President Huo's career was just starting out, whenever he encountered a decision he couldn't make, his fingers would unconsciously turn his cufflinks.
If he hadn't followed President Huo for many years, he would never have noticed President Huo's subtle actions.
At this moment, President Huo was unconsciously fiddling with the button on his left sleeve.
How many years has it been since we've seen President Huo so distraught? Three years or five years?
He glanced discreetly at the girl in the back seat.
The girl smiled gently, leaning against the back seat, her gaze always fixed on the window.
"Cough! Cough!"
"Mr. Huo, may I see you first?"
He could only pretend to be confused and start a conversation.
Huo Zhongyuan glanced at him with a slight smile, then looked down and asked.
"Junior Sister Qin, are you still dizzy? Is it alright to go straight back?"
Qin Suisui: "I'm fine, I'm almost sober now."
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she and Senior Brother Huo were not familiar enough to care about each other.
She quickly ran out of things to say, feeling somewhat uneasy without the control she had in the courtroom.
"Senior Brother Huo, do you have any inside information about Shenglun International?"
“I have a friend who works in investment banking in Country Y and has been keeping an eye on Shenglun International. I’ll ask him about it for you tomorrow.”
From the moment Huo Zhongyuan learned that Qin Suisui was preparing to take on the lawsuits against Huating Power and Shenglun International, he subconsciously began to pay attention to information from both sides.
"However, judging from the stock price fluctuations of Shenglun International, it can be seen that large funds behind the scenes have been secretly selling off shares. However, they are very clever and sell off their shares very discreetly. When the stock price fluctuates to the bottom, they will raise the stock price at the right time."
Qin Suisui nodded thoughtfully. She had also been paying attention to Shenglun International's stock price, and indeed, as Senior Brother Huo had said, the stock price was fluctuating quite violently.
The big players have definitely been secretly selling off their shares all along. When the day comes that the company collapses, it will always be the retail investors who suffer the most.
Unfortunately, the lawsuit against Huating Power has not yet been filed, otherwise she would definitely have taken action to block Shenglun International.
For the remainder of the journey, Huo Zhongyuan provided her with a lot of useful information, which gave her great confidence in the lawsuit after the holiday.
Even if Xiao Zou drove at a snail's pace, Ocean International was already in sight. He slowly drove the car into the garage and parked it in the place where President Huo usually parked.
Huo Zhongyuan got out of the car first, walked around to the side, opened the car door, and rested one hand on the top of the car frame.
Qin Suisui got out of the car, her eyebrows curved and her eyes filled with laughter.
"Senior Brother Huo, I'm sorry to have troubled you tonight!"
"It's just on the way!"
Huo Zhongyuan remained calm, his eyes half-covered to conceal his emotions.
"I'll see you to the elevator."
Even after entering the room, Qin Suisui was still somewhat dazed, wondering when she had become so familiar with Senior Brother Huo.
Perhaps it was the indoor temperature that made her feel the effects of the alcohol, so she shook her head, only thinking about washing up and going to bed to rest.
As she came out of the bathroom, the phone rang again just as she had hung up and was wondering what was going on.
Qin Suisui stepped forward and picked up her phone; the screen showed a video call invitation from Yueyue.
She turned on the video and walked along, laughing as she spoke.
"Aren't you resting at this hour?"
"What rest? I'm so restless, how can I possibly sleep?"
The background of Su Yue's image seems to be a villa area near her home, and the screen shakes violently with each step she takes.
"Yueyue, are we home yet?"
"Don't interrupt."
Su Yue's face was flushed and her eyes were glazed. She was drunk and shook her finger at the screen.
"Tell me honestly, when did you and Huo Zhongyuan, Senior Brother Huo, become so familiar? What exactly is your relationship?"
Qin Suisui couldn't help but smile when Su Yue asked her question.
"You know what kind of relationship I have with Senior Brother Huo. We're neighbors, and we occasionally nod and greet each other when we bump into each other during our morning runs."
"Really? You're not lying?"
Su Yue squinted, her thoughts somewhat muddled; she felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
"Hmm! I can't remember right now. I'll deal with you when I think of it tomorrow."
She looked up at the gate of the courtyard.
"I'm home. Wait for my call tomorrow."
"Okay, go inside now!"
The moment Qin Suisui connected the video call, she heard Yueyue calling out for her father in a spoiled tone.
She placed her phone in front of the bed, reached out to turn on the nightlight, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
…………
The next day, Qin Suisui woke up at the same time as usual, but to her surprise, her head did not feel as heavy as usual after drinking.
She remembered that Su Yue had mentioned it last night; the bar seemed to be related to Yueyue's childhood friend.
It seems they drank good wine yesterday.
