"Jiangbei, you've returned from a business trip?" After he answered the phone, An Hao laughed and joked: "Why did you suddenly call me?"

"Yes, I just returned yesterday." It was unknown if it was just her imagination, but Jiang Bei's voice did not sound as cheerful as it did in the past: "I suddenly thought of you, so I called you. Unlike you, you don't seem to have a friend like me."

"Of course not." An Hao retorted, "I even sent you a WeChat a few days ago. It was you who didn't reply to me, okay?"

"If I didn't answer you, then you wouldn't have called me. It still means that you don't miss me." As Jiangbei spoke, his tone became a bit more cheerful. "I'm not joking. Are you free tonight? Why don't you come out for a meal?"

"Sure, where do you want to go? Just the two of us? "

"Yeah, just the two of us." Jiang Bei then hesitated for a moment, "Let's go eat western cuisine. I have something that I need your help with."

Due to his identity as Jiangbei, An Hao had begged him more than once. After knowing each other for so many years, he had never begged her to do anything.

Upon hearing her request for help, An Hao was a little surprised. "What is it that you can find me for?"

"Let's talk about it tonight. Relax, it's not a big deal. It's very easy for you."

Was it easy for her? An Hao hung up the phone suspiciously. Just as he was about to go get a cup of water, the colleague at the desk next door handed her a piece of cake: "Here, try it. I took a detour yesterday to get some flowers.

"Thank you." An Hao took the cake. She had woken up too late in the morning to eat breakfast, so she was a little hungry.

She opened the cake wrapper and just as she was about to open her mouth and bite onto it, her colleague's voice came through once again, "Hey, An Hao, that seems to be durian cake. Do you like the taste of durian food?"

"Don't worry, I like it." An Hao laughed, and once again bit down, and the taste was in his mouth. Bari spread, causing An Hao to suddenly feel uncomfortable, his stomach kept on rolling, as though he was about to vomit.

An Hao put down the cake and hastily ran to the washroom. Lying on the sink, she started to retch, but after spitting out two mouthfuls of sour water, the feeling of vomiting disappeared, though her chest still felt a bit uncomfortable. She took a deep breath and patted her chest. Dry the air.

Seeing that she was in a bad state, her colleague Wu Na also followed in: "An Hao, are you alright?"

An Hao shook her head, the feeling of wanting to vomit was back. She covered her lips and rested for a while.

Seeing her like this, Wu Na found it unbelievable. "You can't be …" Is it from the smell of durian? "

The durian cake was clearly very delicious, but the taste was not particularly unpleasant.

"I don't know why either." An Hao took a deep breath: "It's just that I suddenly feel like vomiting, it shouldn't be about the durian cake, it's not like this is my first time eating it."

"Then you …"

"I'm fine." An Hao felt a little better. He turned around and washed his hands with the tap, then walked out of the washroom with Wu Na.

After eating lunch, An Hao received a call from Prosecutor Liu, telling her to come to the Public Prosecutor's Office after work in the afternoon.

When they arrived at Prosecutor Liu's office, Prosecutor Liu went straight to the point and told her that Shen Jianmin's inspection results were out. Accepting bribes and embezzlement of state property were the two counts. If he wanted to escape, there was no way he could.

However, the authorities had already allowed the matter to be reported. Tonight, the news stations would be using the evening news as a typical case report, so the magazine could begin preparing for the release of the press release.

After An Hao expressed his thanks, he asked: "Then what about Shen Liang? Is there any news of him? "

Prosecutor Liu shook his head, "The whereabouts of the person are still unknown. However, the police are already looking for him. They should be able to find him very soon."

"The police are looking for him?" An Hao was a little surprised: "The culprit who killed Lu Qi has already been determined to be him?"

"No, he's the most suspicious, so the police want to contact him." Prosecutor Liu sighed lightly, "This person is greedy. Shen Jianmin took a bribe because he wanted more money, and some people wanted to earn more money so they offered a bribe. With him gone, who knows how many other companies will be investigated."

When An Hao came out of the Public Prosecutor's Office, it was already 3 in the afternoon. Just as she was about to take a taxi back to the company, a taxi stopped by the side of the road. The door opened and a familiar figure walked out.

Xia Lan closed his car door and walked towards the Public Prosecutor's Office. Looking at An Hao who was standing by the side of the road, he was also stunned.

Xia Lan had changed a lot in the past month. Her long hair was cut into her neat short hair, and she had lost a lot of weight. Her face was covered with a thick layer of makeup.

An Hao felt that it was strange. Xia Lan was not one who liked to put on heavy makeup. Just as she was thinking about how she should greet her, Xia Lan looked away as he quickly walked forward.

It was as if he hadn't seen her pass by.

The moment he passed by, An Hao suddenly realised that although the color of the wound on Xia Lan's face was very light, he could still see the bruises on it. There was even a long scar that extended below his neck.

"Blue." An Hao could not help but chase after her, extended his hand and grabbed her wrist, and asked with some concern: "What happened to your face? And behind the ear... Why are they all injured? "

Was someone bullying her?

Xia Lan's body stiffened for a moment, then he shook her off. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before turning to look at her, ridiculing: "If you have time to care about me, you might as well think about yourself."

Seeing her distant and disgusted eyes, An Hao could not help but be stunned. Only now did she recall the relationship between the two of them, it was indeed inappropriate for her to grab onto her hand so hastily.

She pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at her. "You know, I'm just worried about you."

"Worried about me? "Heh …" Xia Lan sneered, "From what I see, you are also extremely thin. If you have the leisure to worry about others, why don't you worry about yourself?

Her words were like a sharp sword that pierced An Hao's heart, her expression immediately changed, and she was unable to say a single word.

Seeing her like that, Xia Lan snorted disdainfully and walked away.

An Hao watched her leaving figure. Even though some time had passed, she was still a little sad.

When Xia Lan was completely gone, An Hao went to the side of the road and took a taxi.

After returning back to the unit and reporting the news to the editor, she started to prepare the press release. She was busy until the first draft of the 6 o'clock in the evening before she finished preparing it. She kept the documents, turned off her computer, and called Lin Qing to tell him that she wouldn't be back for dinner at night.
