Zhao Youlin was shocked, and she looked at Qin Huai with curiosity. She smiled and said, “Mr. Qin, what do you mean? Why do I not understand at all?”
Qin Huai did not speak. Those extremely calm eyes just stared at Zhao Youlin silently, as if any disguise in this world could not be hidden from his eyes.
After a long time, Zhao Youlin heard the man opposite her say something that made her extremely shocked.
“A few months ago, you commissioned my detective agency to investigate some people. These people are basically SWAT police from the same police station, department, and squad. Not long after that, you asked us to focus on investigating two people, namely Officer Li and Officer Lu, whom we actually met just now.”
When Qin Huai talked about this, he paused to carefully observe Zhao Youlin’s expression as he wanted to get some clues from her face. Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
He sighed, and he could only continue to say, “These two people were formerly the leader and member of the same squad of the SWAT team but because of an act of negligence on a mission, they were transferred from the SWAT team to the current department. Their work was reduced, and their benefits were increased. It seems like they were demoted, but they started enjoying better lives. The strange thing is that among the people involved in the negligence of the mission at that time, only the two of them received such treatments. Other people were really demoted, and they were also severely punished.”
When Zhao Youlin heard about this, she finally stopped frowning. No wonder she saw those two people today. It was only a premeditated assassination. With her current status, it would be enough to send armed police. How could it be possible to send the two of them? It turned out that they had been transferred.
Although they seemed to have been demoted, they were actually having a better life. If she was not mistaken, the information about the two people that she asked the detective agency to investigate previously clearly stated that these two people had no background. Was it possible that there was something ignored by her?
Zhao Youlin had many thoughts in her mind, but she did not show them on her face. She calmly raised her head to stare at Qin Huai’s eyes and said, “So what are you trying to say, Mr. Qin? Even if I did ask you guys to investigate these people for me previously, this is all my business. Aren’t the people in the detective agency just responsible for collecting information? When did you guys become so interested in gossip?”
At the same time, Xia Zhetao, who rushed over and was not far away, happened to hear Zhao Youlin’s words. He frowned and was a little surprised.
‘The former Mrs. President commissioned this man to investigate some people before? Is it possible that unlike what the president thought, this person and the former Mrs. President only had an employment relationship? But isn’t the former Mrs. President a member of the Zhao family?
‘Given the Zhao family’s current status in Shalnork, isn’t it easy to investigate a few people? Why would she trouble this kind of detective agency that takes money to do things? The quality is not guaranteed, and they might even betray her.
‘The most important is who were the people that the former Mrs. President investigated?’
Qin Huai smiled indifferently, and he ignored the resistance in Zhao Youlin’s words. He took a step forward instead, and he continued to say, “At first, there is only an employment relationship between the employer and the employee, and it really shouldn’t be mixed with gossip. It’s just that you’re no longer an employer and I’m no longer employed by you now, Ms. Zhao. So, what you said just now won’t really affect me. Now, I’m asking you as an ordinary person, or should I say that I’m asking you as a friend. It’s nothing related to the previous employment. Besides, there are too many coincidences, so I have to pay attention to you, or should I say to pay attention to your identity.”
Zhao Youlin turned her head to glance at Qin Huai. She smiled and said, “Identity? If you’re not clear about my identity previously, then you should have known about it after today’s incident. I’m the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. The Zhao family is second to the four most powerful families and the Mu family in Shalnork. The person lying on the hospital bed now is my ex-husband. He is also a legendary person in Shalnork, the young master of the Mu family, and the president of the Mu Feng Group.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Youlin paused deliberately. She turned to look at Qin Huai and said with a smile, “Of course, if you want to understand more, you can as well. At first, I was the eldest daughter of the second son of the Zhao family’s old master, but my biological father married my stepmother who couldn’t tolerate me, so the old master decided to let my uncle, who doesn’t have any children, adopt me. So, all the outsiders only know that I’m the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, but they don’t know who my biological father is. Are you satisfied with this answer, Mr. Qin?”
Qin Huai looked at Zhao Youlin, who seemed to have wrapped herself with thorns in an instant, and he felt the indescribable familiarity again. The long-lasting figure in this mind coincided with the person in front of him without warning. It made Qin Huai’s heart, which was always calm, skipped a beat.
This made him do something that he would never do in usual. He took a few steps again, forcing Zhao Youlin to take a few steps back. The moment her back touched the white wall of the hospital, Qin Huai’s hand also touched the wall beside her. He forcefully trapped Zhao Youlin in that narrow area.
‘Oh my God! What is that jerk doing? How dare he trapped the former Mrs. President? He is simply wanting to die.’
Not far away, Xia Zhetao who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was almost mad. He wished to rush forward immediately and punch that man who dared to take advantage of the former Mrs. President.
‘If the president knows about it, he will definitely get mad. Even if he doesn’t get mad, he will surely make the people around him suffer with his gloomy face. At that time, the unlucky one will be the cannon fodder and passer-by like him.’
Fortunately, Xia Zhetao still had some sense of reason. He knew that this was not a good time to expose himself, so he had to resist the urge to rush out. He bit his white sleeves and shouted in his mind, ‘Former Mrs. President, hurry up and show your high level of martial arts. Kick this perverted man who dares to assault you. Hurry up!’
Unfortunately, Zhao Youlin could not hear the heart-piercing cry of Secretary Xia now. She was busy dealing with the shocking words from the man who had made a shocking move without knowing it.
“Ms. Zhao, this is not what I want to ask. What I want to ask is who are you besides your identity as the eldest daughter of the Zhao family?”
“Mr. Qin, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about. Who else can I be besides the eldest daughter of the Zhao family?”
Before Zhao Youlin finished speaking, Qin Huai interrupted her loudly, “Zhao Youlin!”
“What?” Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment, and she looked at the person in front of her in surprise and doubt.
“Zhao Youlin. Don’t you think that this name sounds familiar, Ms. Zhao?”
Zhao Youlin was shocked.
