In the evening, Shu Xin and Tong Qiao went to the mall to buy some daily necessities. They were too tired from running around looking for a house these days, so they went home and went to bed.
Early the next morning, Tong Qiao was woken up by the ringing of her mobile phone. She touched the phone in a daze and answered the call without even seeing who it was, "Hello..."
"Qiao'er, come back soon, something happened to your dad." Xia Daiyun's anxious voice came through the electric current.
"Oh..." Tong Qiao responded in confusion. After two seconds, he sat up from the bed and asked, "What's wrong with my dad?"
"Someone reported him for accepting bribes, and someone came and took your dad away early in the morning, saying he was cooperating with the investigation." Xia Daiyun's voice was already filled with tears, "Qiao'er, you know your dad's personality best. How can he accept a bribe if he doesn't accept a cigarette if he is doing something for someone else?"
"Mom, don't worry, I'll be back now. Trust me, Dad will be fine. No one can blame him for things he has never done." Tong Qiao got out of bed as she spoke.
"Well... I'm just scared."
Tong Qiao comforted Xia Daiyun for a while before hanging up the phone.
When Shu Xin came to the door of Tong Qiao's room, she happened to see her packing her clothes, "What are you packing for?"
"Go home, my dad was reported for accepting bribes and has been taken away for investigation." Tong Qiao didn't stop moving her hands when she spoke, so she didn't see Shu Xin's pale face immediately after hearing her words.
Did it still happen
"Just wait for me and I'll go with you."
"Daughter-in-law, you..." Tong Qiao wanted to tell Shu Xin not to go. At this time, others would definitely stay away from their family. She didn't want Shu Xin to go there and receive advice from others, but when she turned around, Shu Xin was no longer at the door.
Shu Xin was determined to go, but Tong Qiao couldn't stop her, and finally the two of them took a bus to the capital together.
At the same time, Dongfang Yue
Song Li came to pick up Huo Yanqing and went to work. He helped him walk towards the car and said, "Yang Ji called and said that Miss Shu and her friend Miss Tong went to the capital together early in the morning."
Huo Yanqing paused and frowned, "Tong Wenbin's daughter?"
"Yes, I guess Miss Tong has received the news about his father's accident, but I didn't expect Miss Shu to accompany him." Song Li's eyebrows were filled with worry, "People in the officialdom are sinister, and Miss Shu got involved. I’m afraid it’s not safe.”
Huo Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Put off all the schedule for the past few days and go to the capital."
Song Li was slightly startled, "Okay, Fifth Master."
Staff Officer He called last night and told Huo Yanqing about Tong Wenbin. He also said that Lu Jinshen was out on a mission and would not be able to come back for the time being. There was no one in the army who could speak to take charge of the overall situation. He hoped that Huo Yanqing could Come over and help with this matter.
Huo Yanqing still has a vacant position in the army, but since the accident five years ago, Huo Yanqing has never returned to the army.
Song Li knew that it was because there were Huo Yanqing's most painful memories, and he didn't want to hurt his feelings.
In the past five years, people from the army would occasionally call and ask Huo Yanqing to come over to deal with some difficult issues, or to participate in some major exercises and activities, but he never agreed.
This time, Huo Yanqing also refused directly.
However, Song Li didn't expect that Huo Yanqing would change his mind for Shu Xin. After all, going to the army meant that Huo Yanqing had to face the past again.
It seemed that Shu Xin's weight in Huo Yanqing's heart was far greater than he imagined.
