Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Ling Huafeng and Xing Zhen came here mainly for the case.

Since Bai Zhenzhu probably won't be coming back, there are many things that need to be verified with her.

Upon hearing Xing Zhen's demand for 280,000 yuan in compensation, Bai Zhenzhu instinctively looked at Huo Zheng.

Huo Zheng nodded affirmatively:

"It was my request."

“Not only will he receive the full amount of compensation, but he will also have to stay in jail for several years. With Mr. Fang’s push, this case should be treated as a special case in the crackdown on organized crime, as it has a terrible impact and must be severely punished.”

White Pearl: "..."

Xia He clapped:

"Well done, that's how it should be done."

White Pearl also said:

"Being able to contribute to the fight against organized crime makes my leg injury worthwhile."

Ling Huafeng speaks quickly:

“Brother… I’ve never heard such righteous words spoken by a girl before. I feel ashamed. We investigators will certainly live up to the expectations of the organization and the people.”

They raised the bar high with just a few words.

Ling Huafeng felt helpless; they had no choice but to raise the bar, and Huo Zheng hadn't had a moment's rest these past few days.

If Ling Huafeng hadn't been in a hurry to return to Rongcheng, he would have seriously suspected that Huo Zheng wished he could handle the case himself.

After all the formalities were completed, Bai Zhenzhu booked a table at the hotel that evening to invite Ling Huafeng, Xing Zhen, and Lin Peijun to dinner.

Consider it a token of my gratitude.

About half an hour after eating, Bai Zhenzhu felt a swelling in her left leg.

Huo Zheng, who was standing next to her, probably noticed that she had put down her chopsticks, and immediately lowered his voice:

"Are you full? If you are, we'll take you home first."

Bai Zhenzhu couldn't stay here forever; she needed to rest more.

He smiled and said:

"I'm full. I'll have Xia He take me home. Please take good care of Comrade Ling and Attorney Xing for me."

Huo Zheng immediately stood up:

"I'll take you back."

Hearing that Bai Zhenzhu was going back, Xia He also put down her chopsticks and stood up:

"I'll go back and keep you company."

Bai Zhenzhu apologized to the others:

"Excuse me, Comrade Ling and Attorney Xing, I need to go back and rest first. Sister Peijun and Zhou Ting, could you please keep an eye on things for me?"

Ling Huafeng gave Huo Zheng various provocative looks:

"Old Huo, Mr. Bai is going back to rest. You're not thinking of taking this opportunity to run away, are you?"

"Let me tell you, I'm going to book a room in a bit. I'm not going home tonight. We're going to drink until we drop."

Huo Zheng completely disregarded Ling Huafeng's provocation.

They've been comrades-in-arms for almost ten years, so he must know how little Ling Huafeng can drink.

However, we've been busy these past few days in Guangzhou and haven't had a proper get-together.

Huo Zheng then said:

"I'll take Xiaobai back first, and then I'll get you a room. You can eat first."

Ling Huafeng wanted to make another joke, but after receiving a warning look from Huo Zheng, he didn't dare to continue.

"Alright, Lao Huo, go and come back quickly."

Huo Zheng escorted Bai Zhenzhu back to her room before leaving, and then went to book rooms for Ling Huafeng and Xing Zhen.

Xia He carefully helped Bai Zhenzhu onto the bed and smiled:

"This Mr. Huo, he just sent you in and left you here, what a waste of a great opportunity to curry favor."

"You said he just carried you to bed, isn't that convenient for you, me, and him?"

White Pearl: "..."

Since Xia He started dating Teacher Qin, her tongue has become increasingly eloquent.

She kept clicking her tongue:

"Mr. Huo is truly a gentleman. By the way, I'm really curious, if you two really do get together in the future, will you hold hands? Will you kiss?"

"My God, seriously, would someone like President Huo even know how to kiss?"

"Look at his serious face, so devoid of desire. What if he doesn't know how to take it? Wouldn't that be a waste of his handsome face?"

Xia He looked regretful, and she felt sorry for Bai Zhenzhu.

Bai Zhenzhu, a woman whose son was already so grown up, was so frightened by her that she dared not reply.

I was afraid that the conversation might accidentally go too far.

Quickly rack your brains to change the subject:

"Oh, and don't forget, when you check out tomorrow, you should settle the bill for me. These rooms are all on me."

Xia He glared at her:

"How can it be yours? I'll pay."

"You got injured this time because of me, and I even got a great deal from Boss Fang because of you. If we're sisters, don't argue with me. All the expenses in Guangzhou this time will be on me."

"The banquet tonight is on me too."

Xia He originally wanted to give Bai Zhenzhu some money as a token of appreciation, since Liu Guixiang was just her friend, while Bai Zhenzhu had lost a leg.

But she was afraid that Bai Zhenzhu would be angry.

After she said that, Bai Zhenzhu didn't argue with her.

Now, neither Bai Zhenzhu nor Xia He would care about this amount of money.

Xia He can pay if she wants.

“Okay, Boss Xia is a rich woman, Boss Xia is treating.”

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Then let's not mention this matter again. The crime was committed by someone else, so don't take it upon yourself."

Xia He leaned closer, her face full of gossip:

“I originally wanted to give the money for the wheelchair to President Huo, but he couldn’t be bothered to talk to me.”

"I shouldn't rush to show off, or I'll seem tactless."

White Pearl: "..."

She was even thinking of giving the money for the wheelchair to Huo Zheng.

Lin Peijun was going home that night, and after Huo Zheng went back, she came to find Bai Zhenzhu and Xia He.

Bai Zhenzhu and the others have an early morning flight tomorrow. Ling Huafeng will drive them to the airport, but Lin Peijun won't be coming to see them off.

The three women chatted for a while before Lin Peijun went home.

Huo Zheng and the other three didn't drink for long; by the time Xia He went to pay the bill, Huo Zheng had already paid.

The next day, after everyone had breakfast, Ling Huafeng took them to the airport.

Bai Zhenzhu sat in her wheelchair, watching the two men say goodbye from afar.

Ling Huafeng was quite moved:

"We don't know when we'll meet again after this parting."

Huo Zhengdao:

"I should have many more opportunities to come to Guangzhou in the future."

Ling Huafeng was puzzled:

"What, you're also coming here to develop your career?"

Huo Zheng pursed his lips:

"Keep Xiaobai company."

Ling Huafeng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"Old Huo, I never knew you were this kind of person before."

Huo Zheng glanced at him:

What kind of person am I?

Ling Huafeng: "Looks serious, but is actually a closet pervert. Staring at people so closely, be careful not to scare your sister-in-law."

Huo Zheng: "If you don't understand, shut up. Go handle your case and drive carefully."

Ling Huafeng: "Then remember to call me next time you come, and I'll come pick you up."

Huo Zheng: "Okay."

Back in Chengdu, Huo Zheng's assistant, Qin Mo, picked him up in a large Jinbei van.

Although this car is spacious, it is also tall.

She can get into the sedan by herself, but it's a bit difficult for her to get into this big van.

Huo Zheng stood beside him and reminded him:

"Boss Xia and Zhou Ting, please go first."

Zhou Ting hesitated for a moment, thinking to herself, "What about my boss?"

Xia He gave him a push:

"Go inside, what are you standing there for?"

After Xia He and Zhou Ting got into the car, Huo Zheng suddenly leaned down and whispered in Bai Zhenzhu's ear:

"Put some effort into it."

Just as Bai Zhenzhu was wondering how to exert some force, he suddenly gently supported her legs with one hand and hugged her waist with the other, lifting her up from the wheelchair.

Bai Zhenzhu instinctively hugged his neck tightly.

She was so frightened that her eyes widened.
