Chapter 537: Seeking Help

This recording was made at Cheng Lu's home, and included all their plans during this period.

The more Cheng Lu listened, the more shocked he became. He wondered when a tape recorder was installed in his home, and it could clearly record many important conversations.

Could it be that there has been someone hiding in my house, and that person is responsible for recording the audio?

Thinking of this, her face turned extremely ugly.

"This is slander, I didn't say that." Cheng Lu looked at Huo Xi: "You are wrongly accusing me."

Huo Xi smiled faintly: "I won't wrongly accuse you. Everything you said today, including these recordings, will be submitted."

"Comrade Cheng Lu, everything you do cannot be kept secret forever."

After Huo Xi finished speaking, he began the normal questioning phase. This woman had been uncooperative, but Huo Xi did not get angry.

Half an hour later, Huo Xi asked the same question a second time.

Cheng Lu looked at Huo Xi: "You don't have to waste your time here. I said, I didn't do those things. You can't force me to admit it."

Huo Xi looked at Cheng Lu calmly: "Did I say what you did?"

"You just need to cooperate with me and answer the questions."

As Cheng Lu was talking, she felt a little thirsty. She looked at Huo Xi and said, "I want to drink some water."

"No way, they don't even give us water to drink."

Huo Xi looked at the public security comrade beside him and said, "Bring in a glass of water."

Not long after, the public security comrades brought in a large bowl of water. Cheng Lu looked at the bowl with disdain, which had been used by countless people.

She used to be very particular about everything she used at home, but she never thought that one day she would be brought here for interrogation.

She smiled and imagined her own fate, which might be being shot to death.

This kind of ending is actually quite good, a worthy death.

But she didn't want to be insulted like this.

"I'm not used to using bowls that have been used by others. Go to my house and get my cup." Cheng Lu had already made up his mind not to say a single useful word, so that they couldn't do anything to him.

Huo Xi glanced at Cheng Lu and was not used to her habit, so he asked someone to take the water away: "Since you are not thirsty, then continue to answer my questions."

Cheng Lu was shocked: "I said, I want to drink water."

"You don't need to." Huo Xi said calmly, "You don't need to waste time here. I won't let you go. No matter who comes today, they can't take you away."

It is impossible to take people away from Huo Xi's place.

Cheng Lu gritted his teeth and stared at Huo Xi: "Why do you have to do this? It won't do you any good."

Huo Xi had no expression on his face, just like a machine, and replied in a leisurely tone: "I don't need any benefits, I just need to be worthy of the clothes I wear and my own responsibilities."

A day passed and there was no progress in the interrogation. Huo Xi looked at the transcript in his hand with a frown on his face.

At this moment, a police officer came in and said, "Director Huo, someone wants to see you."

Huo Xi arrived at the meeting room of the Public Security Bureau and was a little surprised to see the newcomers: "Comrade Gao, are you here for Cheng Lu's matter?"

Upon hearing this, Father Gao glanced at Huo Xi, quickly stood up and shook hands with him, then said, "Cheng Lu and I are classmates. I heard that she was in trouble, so I wanted to come and see her."

"I want to know what crime Cheng Lu committed that they still wouldn't release him after a whole day of interrogation."

Huo Xi sat in his seat and glanced at Gao's father calmly: "Comrade Gao, you are also a public official. Don't you know that there are some things you shouldn't ask?"

"Don't wait here. I won't say a word about Cheng Lu."

"If you ask again, I can only keep you for two days on the grounds that you are interfering with our work."

Father Gao wanted to get angry when he saw Huo Xi's stubborn attitude, but then he thought about the fact that Huo Xi was a tough guy who would not give in to any tricks. It happened that the superiors appreciated him very much. He was fair and just in everything he did, and he followed all the rules, making it impossible for anyone to blame him.

They couldn't do anything to this guy.

He took a deep breath, stood up and smiled: "Okay, I understand."

"I'm sorry to bother Director Huo today. I'm leaving now."

Since there was no way to learn anything about Cheng Lu from Huo Xi, he could only leave and think of another way.

Huo Xi watched Gao's father leave. He went out and told people not to allow anyone to visit Cheng Lu.

Yu Wanqing learned that Cheng Lu was taken away by the Central District Public Security Bureau and couldn't help laughing: "Who asked the Central District to be responsible for this matter?"

Hand Cheng Lu's matter over to Huo Xi. Given Huo Xi's integrity and serious attitude, he will definitely continue investigating.

They have already opened a gap in Cheng Lu's body, and as long as they continue to dig deeper, they will discover more secrets.

It would be most appropriate to entrust this matter to Huo Xi.

Huo Lanci said: "The Second Elder has designated Huo Xi to be in charge of this matter."

"Okay, with Huo Xi in charge of this matter, we don't have to worry about it anymore. You should stay at home and take good care of your health."

Yu Wanqing nodded: "Don't worry, I promise you won't take risks in the future."

After she finished speaking, she pointed upstairs and downstairs and said, "These too need to be cleaned up as soon as possible."

"We have already started to deal with it, and there will be results soon." Huo Lanci squatted in front of Yu Wanqing, held her hand and said, "Wanqing, why don't you follow your grandfather back to the compound and move back after things here are completely dealt with."

Yu Wanqing thought about it, and finally agreed to Huo Lanci's suggestion, and decided to live back in the compound with her grandfather and mother-in-law.

Due to health reasons, although she does not have to stay in the army every day, she still has to check the health of several leaders every once in a while.

So, when she left the family compound, she took all the medicinal herbs in the house away.

On the first day of moving back to the compound, Huo Lanci stayed at home with her, but he had to leave home at around five in the morning of the next day.

He looked at his wife in his arms, stroked her belly, and said softly, "If you feel uncomfortable living in a compound, you can ask your third brother to live with you at home."

Yu Wanqing shook her head: "No, there are grandpa and mom at home, as well as my eldest brother's family. It's very lively and I can get used to it."

If we let our third brother come to live in the compound, he would definitely be the first one who couldn’t get used to it.

"Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself and the kids. If you want to go home, just take my dad's car."

Comrade Huo Jianying has a special car to take her to and from get off work. If she does not live in the military compound, a driver and guard will take her back in the evening.

Huo Lanci shamelessly went to get a ride and was able to come back often.

"Then I'll go and take a ride in Dad's car when I have time." Even though this would make his dad laugh at him for being a man who can't live without his wife, it doesn't matter, because everyone is the same anyway.

If Comrade Huo could really leave his wife, he would not have lived in the Beijing Military District for so many years without applying for a house.

The two of them, father and son, weighed half a catty and eight ounces respectively.

No one should say anything about anyone else.
