"Where did you go on the morning of July 20th, Monday?"

In the inquiry room, the white light hit Qing Huan's bloodless face, and her face was as white as paper, her hands on the table were crossed and tightly clenched, and the green tendons on her hands were a little protruding, as if only in this way could she control them and stop trembling, her eyes stared at her fingertips with some hollowness, and she didn't speak.

"Gu Qinghuan, you are now accused of embezzlement of public funds by Deju, and you have also been accused of bribery to him by Yao XX, you can't escape by being silent like this, please cooperate with our work. Seeing that she didn't answer the question, a police officer sitting across from her looked serious, and suddenly raised his voice a little more, "I ask you again, where did you go on the morning of July 20, that is, Monday?"

Qing Huan's eyes widened slightly, as if he was startled by his sudden raised volume, his gaze shifted from his fingertips to the policeman who spoke, and he was silent for a while before he whispered as if he remembered: "That morning, I made an appointment with Miss Ning, that is, Ning Qiulu to meet in the coffee shop. ”

"What time did you meet, and why did you ask her to meet?"

"I ran into his husband by chance, and he said he couldn't reach her, so he asked me to bring her a few words, so I tried to call her, and we made an appointment to meet together. Qing Huan replied a little mechanically.

"Is there anything you can't tell her on the phone, why do you have to meet and talk?" the other policeman looked up at her strangely, as if he thought that the excuse she was making was really lame.

"She used to be my leader, and she treated me well when she was in the company, and when I heard about their divorce, I felt a little pity, so I wanted to meet her and persuade her. Qing Huan lowered his head and said.

The policeman who questioned her recorded everything she said, but did not continue to ask anything, and then asked: "A month ago, on June 18th, you and Mo He, the general manager of your company, had a dinner, do you remember?"

She froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Yao XX, the former director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, accused you of trying to bribe him with Mo He, but he refused to accept your gifts, is there such a thing?"

"At that time, I just received instructions from my superiors to participate in that dinner, and the gift was prepared by Mo He, I didn't know in advance, and then I left first after eating, as for whether Director Yao received the gift, I didn't know at all. Qing Huan rubbed the corners of his forehead and said a little tiredly.

"According to you, you don't know these things, and it's all Mo He's doing?" the policeman who was the first to ask the question glanced at her and said with a sneer.

"I really don't know. Qing Huan still had no expression on his face, and spoke numbly.

Later, she was asked a few more innocuous questions, then signed the transcript to confirm it, and then was taken to a room not far from the inquiry room by the policeman who was guarding the door, and when the door was closed, she heard the policeman talking to a colleague who had come to change shifts.

"This one is going to go with the group that went to the detention center in the morning?"

"yes, I came out after asking just now. ”

Qing Huan stood in front of the table, and when she heard the three words of the detention center, her body suddenly shook irrepressibly, she slowly sat on the chair by the edge of the table, and the whole person was enveloped in a huge panic.

She knew that if the police were to detain her to a detention center, it meant that they must have evidence to accuse her, but sadly, she still didn't know what kind of thing could send her directly to prison...... From what happened to today, this wave after wave of blows made her have no power to parry at all, if she was naïve before yesterday she thought that she could rely on Chen Yidong to solve these problems for herself, but his loss of contact seems to have explained something.

What should I do, what should I do? Qing Huan closed his eyes in some despair.

Things may be more complicated than he imagined, more serious, so serious that even he may not be able to protect himself, this level, is he really unable to pass?

Thinking of her parents in that small city, what would they do if something happened to her? Thinking of her struggle for so long, in exchange for such a result, and if she really went to prison, after coming out, her already predictable miserable second half of her life, Qing Huan suddenly couldn't hold back anymore, and fell on the table and cried hoarsely.

Early in the morning, when she was taken to the car to the detention center, her legs were so weak that she almost couldn't take a step, and was gently helped by the police on the side, before she reluctantly got into the car, and went around to a detention center outside the city, followed by one after another questioning, and after the questioning, she was taken directly back to the room, during which Qinghuan was almost cut off from the outside world, only a week later, a lawyer who was said to be her came to talk to her once.

Through the conversation with the lawyer, she learned the specific circumstances of this case, and also understood that it is extremely unfavorable for her now, Mo He and Miss Ning have completely lost their traces, and it is estimated that they have fled abroad, so Deju had to use her for surgery, and from the many foreshadowings buried before Mo He left, it seems that he has long been ready to use Qinghuan as a scapegoat, so now a lot of evidence in the hands of the police points to her.

After listening to the lawyer's words, Qing Huan's heart seemed to be holding a piece of cold ice, blown by the cold wind, and it was all cold all of a sudden, she could almost foresee what her ending would be, and her career, or even life, was about to come to an end here.

It's ridiculous to think about it, when Mo He asked her to take Miss Ning's position, she thought that her efforts were finally recognized and the opportunity finally came to her, but she didn't expect that maybe at that time, Mo He and Miss Ning were already starting to lay out and plan all this today, digging a pit, just waiting for her to jump.

And she did jump down stupidly, when Chen Yidong admonished herself, she had a very unpleasant quarrel with him for a while, now that she thinks about it, what he said is not wrong at all, she has no background, no experience, no qualifications, only a little clever, she has achieved some results by luck, why would Mo He give up so many people who are better and more experienced than her, and choose her to be the leader of the department?

It's a pity that she didn't have a little defense at the time, and she was complacent about it, thinking that she was finally going to embark on the journey of the elite, but what happened now proves that she just stepped into a colorful trap woven for her by others, and now the flashy clouds and mist dispersed, finally revealing the sharp bayonets in the innermost part with cold light.

This fall, she fell too badly, and the price she paid was too great.

"Can you bring me a message for a friend?" she said before the lawyer left.

What followed was a long wait, Qing Huan felt that every day was a long torment, and the only thing that supported her to persist was that she asked a lawyer to help bring Xiaoxi's words, she asked Xiaoxi to help her contact Chen Yidong, and then find a way to tell herself what the situation was on his side.

It's a pity that day by day, there is still no news to bring in, and the light in Qinghuan's eyes is dimming little by little, she feels like a small wooden boat thrown in the deep sea at night, struggling to support it in the wind and rain, but she never knows where she wants to drift, or where it will end.

"Gu Qinghuan, you can go out. ”

Early one morning, Qing Huan heard the sound of the door being opened, and then when a uniformed police officer told her this at the door, she was suddenly stunned, and turned her head a little slowly, motionless. It was like I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"What? don't want to go out?" the officer couldn't help but laugh when he saw her demented appearance.

Think, of course I think, Qing Huan reacted, her heart was agitated, and she hurriedly got up from the bed with her hands and feet, and before she had time to tidy up her clothes, she hurried to the door, and then the police officer took her towards the guardhouse. She knew that it was there, that her belongings had been sealed when she came in, and that she was going to take her to pick it up, and it seemed that she could really get out of here.

Qing Huan walked briskly, while trying his best to calm his excited mood at the moment, it must be Xiaoxi who contacted Chen Yidong, and then he thought of a way to get himself out, so will he come to pick him up? Will she see him later?

Definitely, he loves her so much, he will definitely come and take her home.

As soon as Qing Huan thought of this, his steps became a little faster again, and when he walked to the guardhouse, his breathing became a little urgent, he confirmed the items, signed a few more pieces of paper, and then was released.

She took her bag, like a bird that had just been released from its cage and had been freed, and galloped happily towards the gate, and as she got closer to the gate, her heart pounded as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

In the distance, Qing Huan saw a black sedan parked outside the door through the crack in the iron door, and an indescribable joy rose from the bottom of her heart, she almost ran over, and then saw the car door being pushed open, and a tall man in a suit and leather shoes came down from inside.

A few paces away from him, she slowed down, and gradually paused, standing still.

"Qing Huan......" Song Hai looked at her with a complicated expression and called softly.
