Thank You for Stepping Aside (11)

Having been married to Qin Chu for years, Huo Mian knew her husband well, so after Qin Chu interrupted her, she stopped talking about the topic. Instead, she chatted with him about unimportant things.

When they got home and lay in bed in their bedroom, Qin Chu held his wife in his arms and asked her about the incident.

"Mian, did Secretary Zeng see you to ask about Zeng Rou's whereabouts?"

"Yeah." Huo Mian nodded.

"Then why did he summon Director Wu? He's already half retired now and doesn't know anything about the issue."

"I think he did it to pressure me," Huo Mian guessed.

"What did you say?"

"I told him the truth. I truly don't know where Zeng Rou is."

Huo Mian felt frustrated. It was quite puzzling that a big adult had disappeared into thin air; there was no witness or any clues in the surveillance footage.
