"You're here, good, you can help me with something."
He Jiaxing welcomed Lin Yi to the sofa and even brewed him a pot of tea, showing no signs of treating him as an outsider.
"How far has the investigation progressed? Have you encountered any difficulties?"
"Under normal circumstances, Qi Yongchun and the Pengcheng Chamber of Commerce would have been subjected to a thorough investigation, but the matter has been suppressed. To what extent the investigation will go, I'm not sure."
"Given the crimes committed by Qi Yongchun, he should have been sentenced to at least twenty years."
"Normally, he would be, but it's unlikely." He Jiaxing forced a smile, "As for why, I'd rather not say."
"That's pretty bold, to even suppress this matter."
"So, our situation is very awkward," He Jiaxing added with a bitter laugh.
