Minister Zeng opened his mouth. Walkerbit had been brought back by a special department, and he, as the Minister of Intelligence, didn't know the details. The recent press conference response.
"Anan is here, then his mother..."
"Xiao Rou? Xiao Rou isn't here." Speaking of Huo Rou, Old Master Qin didn't know where Huo Rou had gone. When his men went to look for Qin Ningyi, a group of people was also looking for Huo Rou.
Huo Rou, this little girl, is as outstanding as her father!
"Not here..." Sun Zhiyuan pondered.
"What's wrong?"
"Old Qin, you have been kind to me, and I must remind you of this matter." Sun Zhiyuan temporarily put aside the purpose of his visit. "I found out that Huo Rou is Huo Jinyi's daughter!"
Hearing this, Old Master Qin calculated in his heart but showed no emotion on his face, feigning surprise.
Seeing this, Sun Zhiyuan's eyes lit up and he continued, "Just look at what Cheng Guozhong has experienced over the years, and you'll know she holds a grudge. You vouched for Cheng Guozhong back then, how can you guarantee she won't resent you?"
"Each person bears their own consequences." Old Master Qin said righteously, "I do things according to my conscience and I am not afraid of resentment."
"Alas, you are noble and upright, but she has held a grudge for so many years, how can you be sure? Guozhong was not convicted, yet she tormented their family for so many years..."
Looking at Sun Zhiyuan's provocatively smug face, he recalled the first time he met Huo Rou. He said he wasn't afraid of resentment, but his heart ached for her.
This girl must have had a difficult time all these years!
He hadn't gone to explain things to Huo Rou after what he did, which showed his lack of consideration. A young girl suddenly hearing that the traitor who caused her parents' deaths was released without charge, regardless of whether she overheard their conversation, would surely harbor resentment.
If it weren't for what Ning Yi told him about Huo Rou's actions, and if it weren't for the pride he saw in Chen Long's eyes, he might have truly been swayed by Sun Zhiyuan's words and believed Huo Rou had ill intentions.
But it was precisely her continued patriotic fervor over the years, her not straying from the righteous path, that made her truly remarkable!
He looked at Sun Zhiyuan. He had once thought this man was proactive, diligent, and hardworking. Hearing these words today...
He was just a petty man!
"Old Qin, why are you looking at me like that..." Sun Zhiyuan abruptly stopped speaking.
"It's nothing." Old Master Qin suppressed the emotion in his eyes. "Are you worried about Huo Rou..."
"Yes, you should stay away from her, don't see her!" Sun Zhiyuan said with apparent sincerity.
Only if Old Master Qin didn't see Huo Rou would Huo Rou not have the chance to tell him what the Intelligence Department had found. This would also buy him more time with Old Master Qin, and moreover...
His thoughts shifted, and he got to the point. "Now that Ning Yi likes her so much, I'm also worried that she might assassinate Walkerbit out of personal vendetta!"
Old Master Qin almost burst out laughing. Was this kid showing off his skills in front of him?
He lowered his voice, concealing his anger. "Why do you say that?"
Hearing the anger in Old Master Qin's voice, Sun Zhiyuan secretly rejoiced that his words had worked, finally stirring up Old Master Qin's dissatisfaction and suspicion towards Huo Rou. This way, his schemes would be much easier to achieve.
He got straight to the point. "Huo Rou's mother died from those drugs and poisons back then. Isn't Walkerbit the main culprit?"
"Oh? Is that so? Young Sun, your news is very well-informed!" Old Master Qin picked up his teacup and took a sip, his tone casual yet suggestive.
