Chapter 102: Minister Qin_1

Shen Yue'e's wound on her neck wasn't too deep, and it had already scabbed over and stopped bleeding. However, having been dragged along by Hong Dahai, she had long lost her high heels and was covered in dust. Her makeup was smeared by tears into a mess, making her look disheveled and a far cry from the charming socialite she once was.

Qiao Wei hurried over to support her, kindly dusting off her clothes. Xiao Lingling, on the other hand, pursed her lips and couldn't be bothered with Shen Yue'e.

Qin Hai laughed and said, "Minister Shen, there's no need for such formality—after all, we are colleagues. I couldn't just stand by and watch someone die. Besides, I'm about to become a member of the security department, so it's my duty to protect you all."

Shen Yue'e forced a smile, but it was obviously strained. Then she said to Qiao Wei, "Sister Qiao, I'm really sorry about today. If I had known what kind of person Hong Dahai is, I definitely wouldn't have spoken up for him."
