Chapter 302, the incident happened suddenly

Machine Translation

After sending Jin Shaonan and Xie Chenjin off, Du Anran stayed at home alone to tidy up the house.

After a whole night of chaos, the kitchen and living room were in a mess. She found it funny when she thought of the chaotic scenes during the day.

However, she was quite happy to see Jin Shaonan at her place today. Although he and Xie Chenjin had talked about his father's matter, Xie Chenjin had been hiding it, so Jin Shaonan did not know the truth.

At night, the three of them sang together. Jin Shaonan did not know how to sing. Most of the time, it was Du Anran and Xie Chenjin who sang.

When Bai Ruyun came back, she could not help but smile and shake her head. It had been a long time since she had seen Du Anran this crazy at home.

When she received Xin Zimo's call, it was already past 11 o'clock at night. Du Anran had just cleaned up the house, took a shower, and was drying her hair. However, Xin Zimo's phone rang once, but she did not answer it. Then, it rang a second time and a third time.

Du Anran had no choice but to put down the hair dryer to get her phone. "What's up so late? I'm so sleepy... "

"I miss you... "

Xin zimo's voice was very soft, like a gentle breeze. It blew past du Anran's ears and disappeared in an instant.

Du Anran's hand that was holding the phone paused. Did she hear wrongly?

"Are you... drunk? " Du Anran heard that there was still some fatigue in his voice ...

"No, I'm not drunk. Can you come over... "

"You have the wrong number, I'm not Tang Nuanyan. "

Du Anran wanted to hang up, but she heard Xin Zimo say, "Anran, can you come over? I miss you so much. "

He missed her She had seen him watching a movie with another girl today, and now she missed her again. However, she had not seen him alone for a long time. It was a lie to say that she did not miss him.

"Anran, why aren't you saying anything... can you come to my side? I Miss You... "

Du Anran held her phone and could not say a word. She quietly listened to Xin Zimo mumble.

On the other end, Xin Zimo had been talking to himself for a long time. Other than seeing her today, he really hadn't seen her for a long time... ...

It was as if three years had passed since they last saw each other. Every time it was late at night, she would always be the one who would haunt him.

Du Anran lowered her head. The water from her hair dripped on the back of her hand. It was cold.

She pressed the hang-up button and turned off her phone.

Xin Zimo knew that she didn't want to pay attention to him. She was really determined to be with someone else.

He exerted force and threw the cup in his hand onto the ground. With a "clang" sound, the Cup broke into pieces and scattered on the ground beside his feet.

He Sat on the Sofa with his eyes closed and maintained a posture until dawn.

During those few days, Du Anran always felt that someone was following her when she was walking on the road.

There were a few times when she deliberately stopped her footsteps and realized that the person behind her had also stopped. However, every time she turned her head, she could not see anyone.

On this day, she planned to go out to look for Xie Chenjin. This feeling returned once again.

She thought of an idea. She quickened her pace and walked to the road. Just as the traffic lights were changing, she quickly ran to the opposite side of the road and hid behind a car.

Sure enough, the people behind did not have time to cross the road. They stayed on the other side and looked around.

She finally found out who this person was. It was actually Chi Xue!

Du Anran really could not understand why Chi Xue was still staring at her. In the past, Chi Xue's actions were understandable. After all, at that time, they were rivals in love. But now, Chi Xue followed Cui Hao, and she also stood beside Xie Chenjin.

The two of them had nothing in common. was there any enmity between them?

She said "bored" and left the street. She took a taxi to the XIE building.

She did not expect Xie Chenjin to call her in the car. Du Anran quickly picked up.

"Anran, come to the Ministry of Public Security. I have something to tell you. "

"Okay, wait for me. I'll be there right away. "

Du Anran did not know what it was, but Xie Chenjin's tone was not very calm. It was probably something bad.

As soon as they arrived at the Ministry of Public Security, Xie Chenjin pulled Du Anran into a reference room. The expression on his face was very serious, and Du Anran's heart tightened.

"What's wrong? Is there something... bad about Uncle Jin's matter? " Du Anran asked worriedly ...

Xie Chenjin sighed and nodded lightly.

"The evidence is conclusive. Mayor Jin did misappropriate public funds many years ago, and it was not a small amount, " Xie Chenjin said lightly.

Du Anran was shocked. How could it be like this... ...

She would rather Xie Chenjin's words were false. However, Xie Chenjin would not lie to her, especially about such a serious matter. If Xie Chenjin said that this matter had indeed happened, then the evidence must be conclusive and accurate.

"then... is there any way to suppress the matter? After all, you must have received insider information... "

"I just received the news this morning, so I told you. "I still hope that you can hide it from Shaonan. I'm still trying to get my friends from the discipline inspection to help. If no one keeps a close eye on it, then there's still hope to hide it from the world, " Xie Chenjin said in an uncertain tone.

Du Anran's heart turned cold. "What do you mean by no one is keeping an eye on me? "

"I'm just afraid that someone is deliberately messing with Mayor Jin. If that's the case, things will become more complicated. " Xie Chenjin's expression was solemn.

"Uncle Jin usually treats people very well. Who would treat him like this... "

"No matter how good a person's temper is, there will always be people who won't like him and will always target him. So, this is not a question of whether he's good or not. It's a question that involves interests. "

Actually, Du Anran understood this reasoning. She could only helplessly say, "then what do you plan to do now? "

"I plan to let them delay this case for a few days to see if they can't hold it in and try to lure the other party out. After all, we're in the open now, and we don't know who the other party is. "

"I'm just afraid that if it drags on any longer, Uncle Jin and Shaonan will be under a lot of pressure... "

"I still can't think of a good way, so this is the only way. So, you must keep Shaonan in the dark. If he wants to see Mayor Jin, just say that you're assisting in the investigation process and that the family members must stay away. Do you understand? "

Du Anran nodded. "I will do it. You must promise me that you will help Uncle Jin get out. "

"Okay, I will do my best. I will bring you to see Mayor Jin. "

Du Anran followed Xie Chenjin into the detention center. It was probably because Uncle Jin was the mayor that this place was relatively clean. Although the place was not big, it had everything. It would not be too unfair to uncle Jin.

When she went in, Uncle Jin was reading a book. He did not even take a bite of the food on the table.

There was no entertainment here, so uncle Jin could only play chess with her besides reading.

Du Anran's nose was sore, and she almost cried.

"Uncle Jin, I'm here to see you... " Du Anran held back her tears and forced a smile.

Jin Haiguo looked up and smiled. "Anran is here, and Chenjin is here. "

"Uncle Jin, are you used to being here? Don't worry, Chenjin and I will think of a way. " Du Anran was afraid that Uncle Jin would be wronged. He was too old to be tortured like this.

"I have to take responsibility for my mistakes. I still can't hide from them. " Jin Haiguo didn't hide anything and said straightforwardly.

"No, Uncle Jin, I know that you are not that kind of person. This matter will be over soon. Please bear with it, " Du Anran said.

"Anran, don't worry about me. It's time for me to pay back the debt, " Jin Haiguo said.

Xie Chenjin, who hadn't said anything, comforted him, "mayor, I will think of a way. But even if I can suppress this matter, I'm afraid it will affect your future career, so... "

"I was planning to retire in a few years, and my health is not as good as before. I'm just worried about Shaonan. Have you told him about me? " Jin Haiguo asked.

"Uncle Jin, we didn't tell Shaonan. Don't worry. When you go out, it will be treated as if it never happened. Shaonan won't know about it. "

"thank you. I don't want you to worry about me. It's time for me to take responsibility for my own mistakes. "

Xie Chenjin said to Jin Haiguo, "take good care of your health. Bear with me a little longer. I will think of a way. "

Jin Haiguo nodded, his face worn and haggard.

The more du Anran looked at him, the more sad she felt. She simply lowered her head and stopped looking at Uncle Jin. The high-spirited Uncle Jin from before had disappeared. Now, uncle Jin looked much older.

Xie chenjin quickly brought du Anran out. He was also afraid that Du Anran would accidentally cry in front of Uncle Jin.

He also understood du Anran's feelings. No one would feel good about such a thing.

"Don't be sad. Shaonan will be suspicious if he sees us, " Xie Chenjin said.

Du Anran could only wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I know. Can I come here often in the future? "

"It's best not to, " Xie Chenjin said. "I'll inform you immediately if there's any news. Don't worry too much. Trust me. "

Du Anran looked up and met Xie Chenjin's gaze. She saw hope in his eyes and nodded slightly.

At that moment, Luo Cong, who had not been following Xie Chenjin, suddenly appeared from somewhere in the Ministry of Public Security.

"President Xie, I have something to tell you. " Luo Cong's face was solemn, and his expression was unusually serious.

"Let's talk about it here. Enron is not an outsider, " Xie Chenjin said.

Luo Cong paused for a moment, then slowly said, "President Xie, Miss Mi Li has unilaterally broken the contract. The promotional film could not continue, and the filming was forced to stop. "

"What? Unilaterally breaking the contract? Mi Li doesn't know that this is illegal, and she has to pay a large sum of penalty for breaking the contract? " Xie Chenjin felt that it was unbelievable. Mi Li, that money-hungry woman, would suddenly be willing to give up on working with the Xie Corporation?

"Mi Li's manager and lawyer have already talked to us. Moreover, Mi Li directly said that she would stop working with us. There wasn't even any room for discussion. When I called her again today, Mi Li had already left city A. "

"So direct... Did you follow up and investigate the reason? According to my understanding of Mi Li, she wouldn't leave this promotional video alone. This will affect her reputation. Moreover, I'm afraid that she can't afford to pay this penalty. "
