He Xiang looked at his father's appearance, realizing that just because he had contradicted Nangong Qi a couple of times, a bureau chief had become so worried.
He Xiang was completely puzzled and asked Lao He about his doubts.
“The Nangong and Dongfang families are very powerful now. They are not only successful in business, but also have many connections in the political arena.”
"They can easily change things with just a word. We're just ants, while they're behemoths. What's the point of comparing the two?"
"I wouldn't be so worried about the Dongfang family. They're facing internal and external troubles and wouldn't care what a little girl like you says. The most troublesome family is the Nangong family. The head of the Nangong family is no pushover."
Hearing his daughter speak so naively, Lao He explained the current situation to He Xiang and also told her about the harsh reality.
"So, what solutions do we have now?"
After listening to what Lao He said, He wondered if he had been too naive. He had acted impulsively and caused such a big problem, which could potentially jeopardize Lao He and his mother's careers. Feeling somewhat guilty, He looked up at Lao He and asked.
"It seems I'll have to take matters into my own hands. I've been to the Nangong family a few times, but we don't have any real relationship. I'll have to rely on my old connections."
Old He had no other choice. He had been to the Nangong family a few times before and knew how ruthless those people were. For the sake of his daughter, even if he didn't want to go, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
"father……"
Looking at Lao He, who was usually all smiles and laughter, He Xiang was moved to tears. He hadn't expected him to stand up for her at such a crucial moment. He called out to Lao He as he walked toward the door.
"It's nothing, don't make it sound like a life-or-death separation."
Hearing his daughter call his name, Lao He was deeply moved, but he didn't show it. He turned around and smiled at He Xiang.
"Knock knock knock!"
Just after Lao He finished speaking with He Xiang, a series of urgent knocks sounded from behind Lao He.
"Hurry up and stand still."
When Lao He heard someone knocking on the door and saw He Xiang sitting on his sofa, even though many people in the police station already knew, Lao He couldn't make an exception for himself. He whispered to He Xiang.
He wanted to know what his father thought. He had originally wanted to sit for a while longer, but this leather sofa was much softer than the office chair. Reluctantly, he got up and stood to the side.
Old He returned to his office chair and looked towards the door, saying...
"Please come in!"
"Director."
Upon entering the office, Sun Yue first saw He Xiang standing to the side, then breathed a sigh of relief and said to Director He.
What do you want from me?
Old He also noticed that Sun Yue looked at He Xiang as soon as she came in, and then deliberately asked Sun Yue a question.
"Director, I'm sure He Xiang has already reported the situation at the hospital to you. I've already persuaded Nangong Qi from the Nangong family; she won't keep bringing up today's incident."
Sun Yue looked at Director He and then told him about Nangong Qi's situation.
“Okay, Sun Yue, you did a great job. You see, the bureau won’t punish you for losing Lu Yi, but you’ll still be in charge of following Lu Yi. I won’t be able to sleep until Lu Yi is caught.”
Hearing that Sun Yue had resolved the matter, Old He breathed a sigh of relief, saving himself the trouble of explaining to the Nangong family. He nodded in satisfaction at Sun Yue's handling of the situation.
Then he remembered Lu Yi who had escaped and gave Sun Yue some instructions.
"Lu Yi hasn't done anything wrong, so I don't think there's any need to arrest him, right?"
When Sun Yue heard that Director He wanted to arrest Lu Yi, she expressed her thoughts and asked Director He a question.
"What do you mean it's unnecessary? There's plenty of evidence now showing that this matter is very likely related to Lu Yi. If he wasn't involved, why would he run away? Don't say any more about this. Your task is to bring him back to me. I've already issued an arrest warrant."
Hearing that Sun Yue still wanted to defend Lu Yi, Director He, who had finally cheered up a little, turned gloomy again and said to Sun Yue.
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing the director's firm stance, Sun Yue knew she couldn't say anything more, especially since she had no evidence whatsoever.
"By the way, Sun Yue, I heard from my daughter that you yelled at her?"
Old He glanced at his daughter standing to one side, somewhat at a loss, then looked at Sun Yue angrily and asked...
"Father-in-law, the situation was urgent just now, so I had to stop He Xiang from continuing."
When Sun Yue heard that the bureau chief was angry, and that He Xiang had gone to the bureau chief's office as soon as he returned, she realized that He Xiang must have told the bureau chief about this matter, so she quickly explained to him.
"Hmph, what's there to explain? You dare to yell at my daughter today? When she marries you, won't she be yelled at every day?"
Old He didn't care about Sun Yue's reasons. He interrupted Sun Yue, who was trying to argue, and slammed his hand on the table, saying to Sun Yue.
“Starting today, the two of you are prohibited from continuing your relationship. Tomorrow, He Xiang, you will be transferred to another department.”
Seeing that the two had stopped talking, Old He addressed them.
"no!
Just after Lao He finished expressing his disapproval of Sun Yue and He Xiang being together, He Xiang and Sun Yue retorted in unison.
"Dad, our affairs are none of your business."
He hadn't expected that she and Sun Yue would say it at the same time. He glanced at Sun Yue, then turned to Old He and said.
"My silly daughter! This man treats you badly, why are you still with him?"
Old He looked at his daughter, pointed at Sun Yue with a puzzled expression, and asked her.
"I like him, let's go!"
He Xiang had forgotten about Sun Yue yelling at him. After replying to Lao He, he pulled Sun Yue away from the office.
"Father-in-law, please don't be angry. I will think things through regarding He."
As He Xiang pulled her along, Sun Yue turned back to Director He and made a promise.
"Hey, the world of young people is getting more and more incomprehensible."
Seeing that the two had made up, Lao He put away his angry expression and his face showed a look of relief. Looking at the closed office door, he shook his head and sighed.
"Finally out."
After pulling Sun Yue out, He Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. She was certain that Sun Yue was the one for her, and she would never look for anyone else.
"You're not angry with me anymore, are you?"
Sun Yue saw He Xiang holding her hand, so she took his hand back. He Xiang felt the touch in her hand, turned to look at Sun Yue, and Sun Yue smiled and asked He Xiang.
"Hmph, who said that!"
