To My Dear Mr. Huo-Novel2

Chapter 615: I’m Sorry, I’m Late

Huo Jinyao thought that Qi Xiwei and Lian Jin had gotten into this mess because of their divorce.

What he didn’t expect was that Lian Jin was Shen Mingzhu’s younger brother.

Of course, he knew about Shen Mingzhu. Shen Mingzhu had someone tamper with the car. In the end, Qi Xiwei’s mother died.

And it was Huo Jinyao’s doing that led to her being sentenced to 15 years in prison. He never expected that Shen Mingzhu’s family would come to take revenge on Qi Xiwei one day.

What did this have to do with Qi Xiwei? Shen Mingzhu killed someone and paid with her life. She was supposed to pay the price.

Where did Lian Jin get the right to make Qi Xiwei pay the price? Even take revenge on Qi Xiwei?

Now, he didn’t know what Qi Xiwei was thinking. If she decided to take revenge, Huo Jinyao would definitely help her.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Qi Xiwei’s eyes were empty, and she looked very lost.

“Let him be.” The child was gone anyway. She had nothing left, so she didn’t care about losing it.

“But –”

“Jinyao, thank you for helping me so much. But I’ll take care of the rest myself.”

Qi Xiwei turned to look at Huo Jinyao. The expression in her eyes seemed to have changed slightly. Huo Jinyao was a little worried.

“I think that since he’s not letting you go, you have to think of a way to solve it, right?”

“Then that’s my business.”

“Xiwei, we’re friends.”

“Jinyao, I thank you, but there are some things that I have to solve myself.”

Qi Xiwei looked exhausted. Huo Jinyao wanted to say more, but he knew that she wouldn’t listen to him anymore. He could only think of getting more people to keep an eye on him if he had the chance.

With him around, he believed that Lian Jin wouldn’t be able to act recklessly so easily.

“By the way, Jin Yao, there’s something I really need your help with.”

“What is it?”

“I want to meet that child.”

Huo Jinyao was taken aback by this request. “Xiwei, you –”

Qi Xiwei blinked her eyes and met his gaze. Her expression was unusually determined and stubborn. “No matter what, he’s been in my stomach for seven to eight months. I want to see him.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t think that this was a good idea. Looking at the stubbornness in Qi Xiwei’s eyes, he nodded helplessly. historical

“I’ll go ask around for you.”

In fact, he didn’t know where the baby would be placed in the hospital. He needed to ask Su Qingsang.

“I’ll have to trouble you.”

Huo Jinyao glanced at her worriedly. He wasn’t sure whether or not she would lose control when she saw the child later.

He left the ward, then instructed Yang Wenchang’s men to guard the door of the ward and not let Lian Jin in.

He went to the OB/GYN department’s office by himself. However, Sun Huiya just happened to come out before he entered.

She was on the phone and her eyes lit up when she saw Huo Jinyao. She quickly hung up the phone and walked to Huo Jinyao.

“Director Sun, is Qingsang here?”

“Is she here? Don’t you know? Qingsang was taken away by the police.”

“What did you say?”

This time, it was Huo Jinyao’s turn to be shocked. His expression suddenly changed, and he took half a step forward.

“Tell me clearly, how did Qingsang get taken away by the police?”

“It’s like this.” Sun Huiya explained the situation in the morning, and she was also anxious. “How could Qingsang have murdered that child? We all saw it. The child was already dead when it was born.”

In fact, Huo Jinyao had delayed the delivery of the child for too long. However, it wasn’t a matter of delay at all.

Even if Huo Jinyao had sent Qi Xiwei to another hospital, the child still might not have been able to survive. The lack of oxygen had been too long, and the child’s body was already weak when it was in its mother’s body.

When Sun Huiya and Huo Jinyao were in C City to help with the disaster relief, she had become familiar with Huo Jinyao. She couldn’t conceal the anxiety in her voice.

“Jinyao, you can’t doubt Qingsang’s medical ethics, much less her character. She would never do such a thing.”

“I know, Director Sun. I know everything. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter.”

He turned around and left. At the moment, Huo Jinyao couldn’t care less Qi Xiwei’s request to see the child.

He took out his phone and began to make a call. His eyes were much piercing than it had ever been.

Su Qingsang would kill someone? What a joke. There was no need to say anything else. It must be Lian Jin’s doing. He must have thought that the child was still alive. In order to force him to hand the child over, he deliberately called the police and had them take Su Qingsang away.

After hanging up, Huo Jinyao turned around and was about to go to Qi Xiwei’s ward. However, he stopped after taking two steps.

Lian Jin. He would remember him.

..

Su Qingsang was denied bail after being interrogated. The reason was that she hadn’t figured out her problem yet.

Huo Jinyao looked at the person in front of him and said in a cold voice, “Director Zhao, I’d like to ask, what crime did my wife commit?”

Director Zhao was sweating profusely when he saw Huo Jinyao coming straight to his door.

How did he know that his subordinates were so insensible? How could they offend the almighty that he couldn’t afford to offend?

Who in Rong City didn’t know about the Huo family? Not to mention the Huo family’s position in Rong City. Although the eldest one from the Huo family had retired, his son was now on his way up, not to mention that the great-aunt of the Huo family was married to a Commander.

He recalled the news he received that Huo Mingguang’s cousin, Huo Mingfan, was about to be transferred to the province. Director Zhao’s back broke out in cold sweat.

“It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

“A misunderstanding?” Huo Jinyao looked at the time. “It’s been more than six hours since you took my wife away. I want to ask, are you saying that you invited my wife to assist in the investigation? Since it’s to assist in the investigation, then it proves that you have no evidence to prove that my wife committed a crime. Since you have no evidence, what reason do you have to hold my wife hostage?”

“President Huo, look, my subordinates are too muddle-headed. I’ll release your wife right now.”

“It’s only natural for you to release my wife. My wife didn’t do anything wrong. I’m here to explain this to you.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We’ll definitely give you an explanation for this matter.”

Director Zhao originally wanted someone to bring Su Qingsang out, but how would he dare to let anyone else bring her out now?

He directly led the way and brought Huo Jinyao to the place where was kept.

After Su Qingsang arrived, she asked to make a phone call, but no one actually paid attention to her.

Not only did they not let her talk to anyone, they also didn’t let her leave, but when they asked them to produce evidence to prove her guilt, these people could not produce it.

It was fine if they couldn’t produce it, but they still insisted on blaming her for dereliction of duty. They said that the baby’s death was because of her.

Su Qingsang was at a loss for words towards these people. These people were really ridiculous to the extreme.

What she didn’t know was that the stern-looking male policeman was Lian Jin’s classmate. Lian Jin found him and told him to teach Su Qingsang a lesson.

Since she couldn’t get out, Su Qingsang wasn’t in a hurry to get out. She began to wonder who was trying to make things difficult for her.

Huo Yifan and Su Peizhen were both in jail. The second trial was over, and the original verdict was upheld for both of them.

She wanted to go over to visit Xiang Caiping, but a few times, she didn’t know how to face Xiang Caiping, so she could only give up in the end.

Xiang Caiping needed time, and so did she. So from the second trial of Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan’s case until now, Su Qingsang hadn’t seen Xiang Caiping.

Could it be Xiang Caiping’s handiwork? Su Qingsang immediately rejected this idea.

Based on her understanding of Xiang Caiping, it was unlikely that she would do such a thing.

Who was that? Qi Xiwei? Su Qingsang shook her head immediately. Losing her child was indeed a sad time for her.

However, if Qi Xiwei was that kind of person, Huo Jinyao wouldn’t have become good friends with her. Perhaps she had made a mistake?

Su Qingsang’s mind was running wild. She thought of many possibilities and dismissed them one by one.

The male police officer in the middle came twice, and asked her to confess. Su Qingsang was speechless. She had always had high respect for the police and soldiers.

Especially since Zhang Yichen had saved her last time, she had regarded these type of people as heros of the people.

But what was the situation now? The other party had no evidence, but still wanted her to confess?

She was still wondering why the policeman was targeting her like this and refusing to let her go when the door of the small dark room opened.

She thought that the police officer was here to make her confess again, so she sat there without moving.

She didn’t expect that it wasn’t the police officer who came this time, but Huo Jinyao. Beside him was a middle-aged man in a uniform.

Su Qingsang glanced at him. Before she could say anything, Huo Jinyao had already walked up to her.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms. There was someone else besides them, so Huo Jinyao’s warm gesture made Su Qingsang feel a little embarrassed.

She was more relieved and relaxed, and she trusted Huo Jinyao.

It was great that he was here.

She knew that he would definitely come bail her out, but she didn’t expect him to be so fast.

She thought that she would have to stay there for a day, and that she would have to stay there for 24 hours like people did in TV shows.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

He actually didn’t realize that Su Qingsang had been taken away by the police in the first place, so she suffered there for a few hours.

Huo Jinyao felt very guilty at the thought of this. He let go of his hand and stepped back a little. He placed his hands on Su Qingsang’s shoulders and looked her up and down.

“How are you? Are you okay?”

Su Qingsang shook her head. After all, times were different now. Even if they wanted to make things difficult for her, they couldn’t really do anything to her.

Huo Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw a man and a woman standing behind Chief Zhao.

The two of them looked at Huo Jinyao in shock, and the man’s face looked even more amusing.

Just as they were about to say something, Chief Zhao turned to the two of them and gave them a scolding.

“What are you doing? Is Mrs. Huo someone you can touch? You two idiots. Do you have any brains?”

The two of them didn’t dare make a peep after being scolded by Chief Zhao. Chief Zhao scolded them a few more times, and when he turned to look at Huo Jinyao, his voice became softer.

“President Huo, we didn’t know about this, nor did we do it on purpose. Then, look –”

He couldn’t be blamed for being too careful. After all, if Huo Mingfan of the Huo family was transferred to the province, it would be a piece of cake for him to take care of a mere bureau chief like him.

Moreover, the Huo family was a big business, and they were the province’s major financial benefactor. He really didn’t want to have a direct confrontation with them.

Right now, Huo Jinyao only cared about Su Qingsang, and he wasn’t in the mood to care about Chief Zhao’s future career. However —

He swept his gaze across the two people behind Chief Zhao and snorted coldly.

“Since you don’t know how to handle a case, don’t stay in such an important position. Give it to someone capable.”

“Yes, yes. I will definitely do it. I will definitely do it.”

Chief Zhao responded repeatedly. The faces of the two policemen turned pale, especially that male policeman, who was Lian Jin’s classmate’s.

He had worked for a long time before he was promoted to the position of vice-team leader. He was about to be promoted to team leader at the end of the year, and he thought that he would be promoted even faster after this matter was over. Who knew that it would end up like this.

Huo Jinyao didn’t care whether they were happy or not. He didn’t have the time to care about Chief Zhao’s words. He took Su Qingsang and left.

Outside, Yang Wenchang had already parked his car. When he saw the two of them come out, he quickly went forward and opened the door for them.

After getting into the car, Su Qingsang glanced at the entrance outside. Chief Zhao was still standing there waving at them.

“How did you know that I was locked up? I thought you wouldn’t find out until tomorrow.”

“I went to the hospital to look for you. Director Sun told me.”

Huo Jinyao held her hand tightly as he spoke. “Why didn’t you call me immediately?”

“Don’t mention it.” Su Qingsang felt sulky at the mention of this. “They took my phone away. They didn’t let me call at all, nor did they let me contact the outside world.”

“It’s my fault.”

Huo Jinyao felt a little guilty. He heard from Director Sun that she had been trying to contact him, but she hadn’t been able to contact him.

“Next time, I’ll make sure to give my phone number to all your colleagues. Tell them to call me if they need anything.”

“How can I blame you?” Her expression indifferent, Su Qingsang held his hand. “I can’t blame you. Even if you knew, I still would have been brought here. It’s just a matter of how long I stayed.”

“I know.” However, he couldn’t help but blame herself. He couldn’t help but feel guilty for not protecting her well.

“By the way, do you know who’s after me?” Su Qingsang believed that since he was here, he must have already found out.

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes, and there was a flash of malice in his eyes. “I have a rough idea.”

“Who is it?”

“Lian Jin.”

“Lian Jin? Who is that?” Su Qingsang didn’t recogniz that name.

“Qi Xiwei’s husband.”

“Huh?”

This time, it was Su Qingsang’s turn to be shocked. She looked at Huo Jinyao. “He... he targeted me because he lost his son?”

“Yes.”

“But, that child of his wasn’t breathing when he was born. How can he blame it on me?”

As Su Qingsang said this, her clear eyes filled with curiosity, she suddenly turned to look at Huo Jinyao.

“Did your good classmate also get involved in this matter?”

“No.”

“Are you sure?” To be honest, Su Qingsang was indeed a little unhappy. After all, no woman would like her husband to take care of another woman.

This was her personality, and this was the kind of person she was. If she was unhappy, she would clearly express her unhappiness.

Huo Jinyao squeezed her hand tightly and shook his head gently at her.

“She really doesn’t know. In fact, she and her husband are going to divorce.”

Huo Jinyao had no intention of gossiping about other people’s privacy. However, Su Qingsang wasn’t an outsider after all. He briefly told Su Qingsang about Qi Xiwei’s incident, and after Su Qingsang heard it, her eyes widened in shock.

“It’s that dramatic?” It was like a real-life version of Hamlet.

“Yes.” Huo Jinyao thought of Qi Xiwei’s pale face and how exhausted she looked after being tortured, and he let out a long sigh.

“That’s how it is. Lian Jin didn’t believe that the child was gone. He thought that I deliberately hid it so that he wouldn’t find it. Then he found out about my relationship with you, and that’s why he did what he did today. I think he wanted to make things difficult for you to make me compromise.”

There was nothing SU Qingsang didn’t understand. However, she asked, “Did he still come looking for Qi Xiwei today?”

“Yes, but my men have already thrown him out.”

Huo Jinyao felt a little dismayed when he thought of Lian Jin. Yes, what happened to his family was tragic, and he was indeed pitiful. But what did all this have to do with Qi Xiwei?

Qi Xiwei’s mother was killed by someone, and her father was snatched away. She didn’t think about revenge, but fled abroad.

If she hadntragt found out that her biological mother had been killed by her stepmother... Her mother might have died aggrieved.

Under such circumstances, he didn’t think that Qi Xiwei had done anything wrong. It was a pity that a grown man like Lian Jin would make things difficult for a woman.

“Throw him out?”

Su Qingsang fell silent as she thought of something. She gave Huo Jinyao a serious look.

“I don’t think you can throw him out. Since he wants to see the child so badly, let him see him.”

“Qingsang?”

“The child is still in the hospital’s mortuary. We have no right to dispose of him. In fact, it’s up to Qi Xiwei and her husband to decide what to do with the child’s body.”

At this point, Su Qingsang let out a long sigh. “I’ve been in the hospital for a few years. In fact, I’ve seen a lot of things like this. No matter what, the people who left have already left. But the people who are still alive have to continue living. If possible, I hope they can come to their senses.”

Huo Jinyao gave her a deep look. He suddenly leaned over and kissed Su Qingsang on the lips.

“Honey, I realized that you have the talent to be a philosopher.”

Su Qingsang couldn’t help but laugh as she glanced at him. “I can’t be a philosopher. I’ve just seen too many people die of old age and illness. I’m more open-minded than the average person.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t respond. He thought about how Su Qingsang had repeatedly forgiven Su Chenghui for the harm he had caused her. It wasn’t necessarily because of her profession.

After all, compared to life and death, everything else was really trivial.

“It just so happens that Xiwei also wants to see that child. Why don’t you make the arrangements?”

“Okay.”

Su Qingsang didn’t stay long. It was still early, so she returned to the hospital first.

Qi Xiwei had only seen Su Qingsang once at the Huo family’s banquet. When she daw Su Qingsang, who was wearing a white coat and looked completely different from the dazzling beauty at the banquet, she still couldn’t hide her surprise.

Su Qingsang, who was wearing a uniform, had a unique charm.

“Doctor Su, sorry for the trouble.” Qi Xiwei calmed down since she already knew her situation.

After Su Qingsang was taken away by the police, Director Sun thought that this matter might have something to do with Qi Xiwei, so she came to the ward to explain that day’s situation.

It was also because of this that Qi Xiwei found out that Su Qingsang was actually taken to the police station because of her affairs.

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. When he does things, he only cares about his own happiness and doesn’t care about other people’s lives. I dragged you into my mess.”

Her voice was very hoarse, and it sounded feeble. She also looked as if she would fall down if the wind blew.

Su Qingsang had seen many patients, and there were very few who could recover as quickly and accept reality as easily as Qi Xiwei.

“Miss Qi, you don’t have to apologize. This has nothing to do with you. If you want to see the child, I’ll take you to see him. But if possible, let the child’s father see him as well. When the time comes, you can speak clearly if you have anything to say.”

Qi Xiwei looked at Su Qingsang deeply, and when her gaze fell on Huo Jinyao, who was beside her, Huo Jinyao nodded lightly. His meaning was the same as Su Qingsang’s.

She smiled bitterly, and the expression on her face was full of derision.

“Alright. If he wants to see him, let him see him.”

As she spoke, she picked up her phone from the bedside and pressed a number that she was already familiar with, but she had previously blocked it.

Soon, Lian Jin arrived. He didn’t expect Qi Xiwei to take the initiative to see him.

This was a rare occurrence. He sneered when he saw Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao beside her.

“Why? Did you call me here to settle the score with me?”

Su Qingsang looked at the man in front of her. He wasn’t bad-looking. He was tall, thin, and had a handsome face. However, when he spoke, he looked at them with disdain, which made his face look resentful and made people feel a little uncomfortable.

“Settle the score? Of course I want to settle the score with you.”

Qi Xiwei glared at the man in front of her. Now, even a single glance at him made her feel disgusted and distressed.

“Lian Jin, didn’t you say that you want to see that child? I’ll take you to see him now.”

As Qi Xiwei spoke, she forced herself to get out of bed. She still had wounds on her body after just having given birth. Her body was very weak. How could Su Qingsang dare to let her walk so far?

She asked the nurse outside to bring a wheelchair. She went forward and helped Qi Xiwei sit on it.

“I’ll push you there.”

Qi Xiwei wanted to refuse, but when she saw the worry in Su Qingsang’s eyes, she agreed.

Soon, a group of people came to the mortuary from the hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department.

Even if it was daytime, the mortuary still gave people a gloomy feeling. Su Qingsang greeted the colleague who was in charge of the mortuary. She pushed Qi Xiwei into the place where the bodies were placed.

She had personally delivered the child, so she knew where it was put.

She pulled open the drawer and signaled for Qi Xiwei and Lian Jin to come over.

Lian Jin had always thought that his child was still alive. He didn’t expect Su Qingsang to really bring them to the morgue.

For a moment, he froze at the door. He didn’t want to go in at all.
