Hua Se chased the PR company staff out all at once. She knelt before her father and called out, "Dad, what exactly happened?"
Hua Yin's hands trembled as he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. "How the hell was I supposed to know what Gao Ruhai was up to? We're all in this together, if I'm down on my luck, he won't be any better off."
Just then, the doorbell rang. Several police officers walked in. "Mr. Hua, we are from the Chaoyang District Economic Investigation Division. Someone has reported you for suspected involvement in Xue's illegal business operations. Please cooperate with our investigation. Let's go."
Hua Yin stood up, smoothed her hair back with both hands, and regained her composure. "Officer, what evidence do you have?"
"Whether there's evidence or not, we'll talk about it at the station." Officer Hu, the leader, was utterly blunt. Locking up such a big fish was truly the highlight of his career.
Hua Yin was taken away just like that.
"Dad!" Hua Se's eyes reddened. She immediately made a phone call. "Hello, Attorney Wu, this is Hua Se. The Hua family wants to hire you as my father's defense lawyer for a large sum of money."

He smiled and dialed Xue Qiandai's number. "Dai Dai, do you have time for dinner tonight?"
Such a joyous moment is worth spending with your loved ones.
The answer he received was "Yes".

A private room at the W Hotel's Lightyear Café.
After hanging up with Huo Meiren, Xue Qiandai looked at the man in front of her. This man was Li Shen, the son of her father Xue Jingnian's private investigator. He was twenty-six years old and sported a distinctive mustache, resembling Lu Xiaofeng from Gu Long's novels. Or rather, he idolized Lu Xiaofeng and had grown that mustache.
His father, Li Cheng, had helped Xue Jingnian defeat many competitors. Now, he has followed in his father's footsteps.
"Brother Li, I've called you here for two things. First, help me investigate Feng Zhong, the manager of Youyue Club; second, help me monitor the Hua family's every move, including Hua Yin and Hua Se."
Li Shen tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Miss Qian Dai, Feng Zhong is Hua Yin's subordinate. He followed Hua Yin when he started his business, but he always stayed behind the scenes. I heard my father mention him."
