"Mr. Huo, I have never had the habit of interfering in other people's family affairs and decisions. If you are worried that I am not doing my job well, please find another case. It is something that I cannot control, and I really have no power to do anything about it. Take care of yourself." Mo Yinchuan said softly and ended the call directly.

Mo Yinchuan is also very busy.

On this day, Mo Yinchuan was in a normal mood and worked efficiently. He left work on time to pick up his wife and children. Huo Junge's mood was not affected either. He worked from home and did not see anyone except for urgent matters sent by his senior assistant. It was not easy for Huo Junge to answer anyone's phone calls.

Apart from Huo Boxiong, the most anxious people are probably the Xu family and Fang Minyi, who is worried.

Less than forty-eight hours after Fang Minyi canceled her wedding, what Xu Dake worried about happened. Less than two hours after Xu Dake moved into the deputy mayor's new office in high spirits, people from the Discipline Inspection Commission came and politely asked Xu Dake to leave.

After Xu Dake was taken away from the office, he cut off contact with his family members Li Xiuyan and Xu Zhiheng. Until the evening, Li Xiuyan made dozens of calls and no one answered. After calling Xu Dake's office and no one answered, Li Xiuyan went directly to the Government Affairs Compound to find someone. Everyone was hesitant and their eyes were evasive when they saw Li Xiuyan. Li Xiuyan was not stupid and soon realized that Li Dake was in trouble.

Li Xiuyan hurried home and called Xu Zhiheng, who was hanging out with his friends, to come home.

"Mom, what are you doing? It's not enough that you control my dad every day, now you stare at me every day. It's so annoying." Xu Zhiheng complained with dissatisfaction written all over his face.

Fang Minyi disappeared for several days and only today reluctantly agreed to come out and meet Xu Zhiheng. Li Xiuyan's phone call disrupted Xu Zhiheng's work rhythm. It would be strange if Xu Zhiheng was not annoyed.

On one hand, his father Xu Dake told him to find Fang Minyi, and no matter what means he used, he must obtain the forgiveness of Fang Minyi's Fang family in order to obtain more security resources; on the other hand, his mother Li Xiuyan was clingy and kept tracking him with serial phone calls. Xu Zhiheng was almost annoyed to death because of the feeling of being at a loss.

"Son, I don't feel good. Your father is missing and no one knows where he is. Maybe someone knows, but no one is willing to mention it." Li Xiuyan saw Xu Zhiheng coming back, and rushed to Xu Zhiheng anxiously, saying nervously and panicked.

"What? How is that possible? Didn't we just happily send our father out this morning? He said he would go directly to the new office today." Xu Zhiheng was shocked when he heard this.

Although he was angry, Xu Zhiheng knew that his mother would not speak nonsense on important matters.

"I had no news from your dad for the whole day. When I went to his office, everyone tried their best to act normal, but their eyes and expressions were weird. I felt that my intuition was right." Li Xiuyan said in a panic.

"What should we do then?" Xu Zhiheng had never had the opportunity to experience such a change, and looked at his mother Li Xiuyan in panic.

"Your father and I have discussed this matter. If something happens to him, you should go abroad first and don't worry about anything in the country. Logically, even if something happens, your father will call you first. Although we haven't received any unusual calls, I always feel something is not good. Son, don't worry about other things and leave tonight. I'm afraid it will be too late and we will not be able to enter and leave freely for a long time." Li Xiuyan said anxiously.

In this situation, Xu Dake did tell Li Xiuyan about the emergency cleanup steps. They made comprehensive arrangements for Xu Zhiheng, and the funds laundered overseas were enough for Xu Zhiheng to live a peaceful life. However, Xu Zhiheng was not aware of this before.

"I - even if Dad encountered some trouble, it wouldn't be a crime for my family. I didn't participate in any illegal activities, so why should I run away?" Xu Zhiheng was puzzled.

Xu Zhiheng has always wanted to immigrate and live abroad, but he cannot understand going abroad in this way and with this mentality.

It made it seem as if he had done something shameful that could not withstand investigation.

"Son, just listen to your mother. We won't harm you." Li Xiuyan looked at Xu Zhiheng with complicated eyes.

If what Li Xiuyan and Xu Dake were worried about really happened, neither of them wanted Xu Zhiheng to stay in the country and suffer mental shock. All the things they had done at the risk of their lives over the years were ultimately for their son Xu Zhiheng.

"But, Dad may just have important matters to deal with. You are so anxious because I couldn't get in touch with you for just one day. It seems like you are arranging for me to escape. Our family does business and holds positions with integrity. Even if we encounter any setbacks, shouldn't we work together as a family to slowly solve them? Why should we run away?" Xu Zhiheng was puzzled.

I also cannot accept myself being like an ostrich and choosing to run away when I am confused about the situation.

"There are some things we never let you know. If you can't contact your father, it must be something bad, son, do you understand?" Li Xiuyan hesitated to speak.

There were so many things going on that Li Xiuyan didn't know how to explain them to Xu Zhiheng for a moment. The most direct way was to arrange for Xu Zhiheng to go abroad directly and pretend that he didn't see anything. In this way, Xu Zhiheng wouldn't have to ask questions that Li Xiuyan couldn't answer, nor would he be under pressure from public opinion.

This is the most ideal way to protect Xu Zhiheng.

As for Xu Dake, he has his own challenges to face, as well as his own solutions, abilities, or methods to solve problems. These are things that Xu Zhiheng cannot interfere with or do anything about.

If Xu Zhiheng could go abroad directly, Li Xiuyan's Xu Dake would have no more worries.

"Zhiheng, you are a big boy now. No matter whether your mom is overly sensitive or not, there are some things that are really inconvenient to tell you. You should pack your bags and travel abroad first. If nothing happens, come back, okay?" There are some things that Li Xiuyan can never say.

"Mom, I don't think it will have any impact. There's no need to rush out to hide. If we have to leave, it'll be the three of us going together. We'll just wait for news from Dad. Minyi made an appointment with me today, and you called me back in a hurry. She will be unhappy again." Xu Zhiheng felt that if something really happened to his father, he had to win Fang Minyi's heart as soon as possible.

No matter what, if Xu Dake really encounters any trouble this time, the Fang family is always famous in all places and fields. Working on the resources behind Fang Minyi may be more beneficial to his father's work.

After graduating from university, Xu Zhiheng was not very goal-oriented in both work and life. When he worked in the company under Li Xiuyan's name and received tasks, naturally his subordinates would take the initiative to help him complete them in order to please him. On the surface, Xu Zhiheng participated in a lot of work and projects, but in fact, there was no actual work completed by him independently.

What he is best at every day is eating and drinking with a bunch of so-called good friends, bragging and showing off his superiority.

Li Xiuyan suddenly lost his mind and let him go?

Xu Zhiheng suddenly realized in his heart that his home might not be as beautiful as it seemed and could not withstand the test and wind and rain. Xu Zhiheng suddenly had the idea of ​​planning for himself carefully.

This was a question Xu Zhiheng had never thought about before, because his parents had already arranged his life perfectly.

From childhood to adulthood, including what clothes to wear, what school to go to, what kind of family background friends to make... From childhood to adulthood, there was nothing that Xu Zhiheng needed to worry about. Gradually, Xu Zhiheng developed the habit of not taking everything too seriously, except for studying, which required him to work hard to cram knowledge points into his brain, and then learn to integrate one or two knowledge points in order to pass the exams, and learn to apply them to answer questions.

I never thought that there was anything I needed to worry about.

Including the preparations for the wedding with Fang Minyi some time ago, everything was decided by Fang Minyi and both sides' parents, and Xu Zhiheng rarely had to worry about it.

In his past life experiences, Xu Zhiheng tended to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor instead of trying hard to find solutions to problems whenever they arose and improving his ability to actually solve them.

"Ask Minyi if she is willing to go abroad with you. If Minyi is willing, take her with you. It is very convenient to register for marriage abroad. If possible, you can get an identity green card by the way. Mom will arrange someone to help you with these things, okay." Li Xiuyan just hopes that Xu Zhiheng will go abroad immediately.

If Xu Dake disappeared that day just because of other official business, that would be a good thing. If not, Li Xiuyan did not want the development of the situation to put Xu Zhiheng in a passive position when entering and leaving the country.

In addition, if something really happened to Xu Dake, Xu Zhiheng would be the first to be overwhelmed by public opinion.

Li Xiuyan, who loves her son dearly, doesn't want Xu Zhiheng to experience the pain of seeing through human nature.

"Mom, I can't listen to you on this matter. From childhood to adulthood, I have always listened to whatever you said. I want to make my own decision on this matter." Xu Zhiheng suddenly became strong.

After saying that, he turned around and left home again without looking back.

"Son--" Even though Li Xiuyan shouted at the top of her lungs behind him, Xu Zhiheng still did not turn back to listen to Li Xiuyan's nagging.

Xu Zhiheng wanted to be himself, he thought to himself.

The next morning after Li Xiuyan finished her conversation with Xu Zhiheng, the pampered Li Xiuyan, who was used to getting up late, had not yet gotten up when the Discipline Inspection Commission personnel came directly to her house with complete procedures and collected evidence in Xu's house without any objection. When the investigators entered the house, they only identified themselves to Xiuyan, showed their work credentials and search warrant, and then took their positions, focusing on rummaging through Xu Dake's study.

Such a situation seriously exceeded Li Xiuyan's psychological expectation. First of all, in terms of time, Li Xiuyan thought that even if Xu Dake passively accepted the investigation for some reason, it would take at least several days. The investigators followed the clues and used all kinds of unavoidable methods and techniques to lead Xu Dake to admit some illegal operations, etc. All these took time.

Less than 48 hours after the person went missing, investigators came to his home to search for evidence. This pace is probably the rarest of rare things, right?

Li Xiuyan took out her cell phone trembling all over and called Xu Zhiheng. Thinking that Xu Zhiheng had spent the night outside and did not come home, Li Xiuyan was surprised to find that Xu Zhiheng was at home.

Maybe because he returned home in the middle of the night, Li Xiuyan fell asleep and did not notice that his son had returned.

Xu Zhiheng was woken up from his sleep. He came out of the bedroom in a daze, wearing only a silk nightgown, revealing a large area of ​​chest muscles. His eyes were a little confused, obviously he had just woken up from his sleep. There was still a trace of dissatisfaction and confusion on his face, wondering who had disturbed his sweet dream at this time.

He rubbed his eyes, trying to wake himself up. Xu Zhiheng's brows were furrowed and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, revealing his annoyance at being woken up. His body trembled slightly, as if he was trying to suppress his emotions.

Xu Zhiheng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, however, his fingers unconsciously clenched the edge of his robe, his nails almost penetrating the thin silk. His lips were tightly closed and his chin was slightly raised, as if he was silently enduring the anger in his heart.

His eyes gradually became sharper, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He looked around, trying to figure out who all these people were, where they came from, and why they were randomly looking around in his house?

Xu Zhiheng walked out of the bedroom with light and powerful steps, as if every cell in his body was venting his dissatisfaction.

Xu Zhiheng finally saw the person who disturbed him, and his voice was a little cold: "Who are you? Why are you coming to my house? What do you want to do? Do you know that this is a private residence?" Xu Zhiheng's tone was full of impatience and blame, as if he was questioning the rudeness of the staff in the room.

Everyone present seemed to feel Xu Zhiheng's anger, but no one seemed to hear his questioning. They were professional and focused on the evidence collection work at hand.

“Son—son—son, he—they said—your father was arrested—arrested—they have—have a search warrant, come—come to collect evidence—” Li Xiuyan approached Xu Zhiheng, trembling all over, no longer as eloquent as before.

After stuttering and struggling for a long time, he finally managed to explain what he wanted to say clearly.

"What? Arrest warrant? Didn't my dad just take office yesterday and hasn't been home for a day? Why arrest warrant? I suspect they are fake. How can there be such a case handling procedure? Just arrest warrant after everything has been clarified? And search? Who is in charge? Come out!" How could Xu Zhiheng have never suffered such injustice since he was a child?

Who dares to take a nap when he is sleeping?

Could this group of people in front of me who look like decent people be gangsters or hooligans disguised as robbers?

"I am the person in charge. This is my ID. This is the arrest warrant and the search warrant. Please take a look and fully cooperate with our work." After Xu Zhiheng finished yelling, a middle-aged man who was in charge came to Xu Zhiheng with a serious expression and showed his ID one by one.

Let Xu Zhiheng review them one by one.

Xu Zhiheng's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. He took the certificates and documents from the middle-aged man and looked through them one by one. As the matter was of great importance, Xu Zhiheng did not dare to be careless and carefully studied them word by word with Li Xiuyan.

I read it over and over again as if trying to find loopholes in it.

The mother and son read it countless times, but still refused to believe their eyes.
