Zhong Jiaqi leaned on Qi Jingchen's arms and took a deep breath, the freshness of mint suddenly penetrated into Zhong Jiaqi's nose, and the familiar taste gradually calmed her heart.

"My dad will be fine!"

Qi Jingchen stretched out his hand and patted Zhong Jiaqi's back lightly a few times, and said to Jiang Qing: "Hasn't the news been clearly received from the above about the lack of public funds?" ”

Jiang Qing nodded: "No one has started to check the accounts of the Municipal Department of Land and Resources yet, and they should not have conclusive evidence in their hands." ”

Qi Jingchen thought for a while: "This matter must be solved by them investigating Dad openly, otherwise even if the truth is found out in the end, it will not be good for Dad's reputation, Jiang Qing, first take the money to make up the public funds, and the money will be deducted from my personal account, as for the person who framed Dad, then continue to investigate." ”

Jiang Qing put away the documents and immediately did what Qi Jingchen asked, she didn't dare to delay in the slightest, if because of her delay, the people above caught the evidence and caused the loss of Father Zhong, Qi Jingchen would definitely strangle her mercilessly.

After Jiang Qing left, Qi Jingchen lowered his head and landed a comforting kiss on Zhong Jiaqi's forehead, and he said softly: "It's okay, you heard it just now, they haven't started to check the accounts of the Ministry of Resources, and everything is still in time." ”

Zhong Jiaqi nodded and looked at Qi Jingchen movingly: "Jingchen, thank you!" ”

Qi Jingchen reached out and touched Zhong Jiaqi's hair: "You and I still need to say thank you, Mom?" Mom must have been anxious all night last night, so you can take care of Mom and go back to the room to rest first. ”

After being reminded by Qi Jingchen, Zhong Jiaqi remembered that she should not have shown such a vulnerable side in front of Zhong's mother, she reached out to wipe the tears off her face, held Zhong's mother's arm and said, "Mom, you go back and rest first, Jingchen and I will solve this matter Jingchen and I will solve it well, and when you wake up, there will be nothing to do." ”

After calming Zhong's mother's emotions, Zhong Jiaqi's head also began to hurt, and she always felt that this matter was not so simple.

Even if this time, Qi Jingchen made up for the shortfall in the Ministry of Resources, but if someone wants to target Father Zhong, there will definitely be a next time, this feeling of being remembered is really bad.

Qi Jingchen took Zhong Jiaqi back to the bedroom: "You should also take a good rest, your face is now a little whiter than white paper." ”

Zhong Jiaqi obediently lay on the bed, but her mind was full of thoughts that someone wanted to frame Father Zhong, and she didn't feel sleepy at all, for fear that Father Zhong would be killed by someone with a heart one day.

She tossed and turned in bed for a few moments, but she couldn't let herself fall asleep.

Qi Jingchen reached out and touched Zhong Jiaqi's face gently: "What's wrong?" Can't sleep? ”

Zhong Jiaqi nodded: "Jingchen, can you hold me?" ”

Qi Jingchen's heart moved slightly, and he hugged her into his arms from behind Zhong Jiaqi.

"Are you thinking about the things that happened in your last life again?"

Zhong Jiaqi nodded frankly: "Although I know that Zhu Lin can no longer frame my father, why is someone who refuses to let my father go, who will it be this time, it is easy to dodge the open gun and difficult to defend against the dark arrow, I am really afraid that when someone will appear from the corner and want to hurt my father." ”

Qi Jingchen stretched out his hand and put his arm around Zhong Jiaqi's shoulder: "This time, I will definitely find out the murderer behind the frame Dad, you don't have to worry, he won't have a chance to do it again." ”

Zhong Jiaqi looked at Qi Jingchen's eyes, and his eyes were full of deep dependence: "Really? ”

Looking at Zhong Jiaqi's wet eyes like a deer, Qi Jingchen couldn't help but bow his head and kiss Zhong Jiaqi lightly on the corner of his eye.

"Of course it's true, I'll do what I promised you."

Zhong Jiaqi, who had never been sleepy, felt the familiar temperature on Qi Jingchen's body, and fell asleep quickly.

By the time Zhong Jiaqi opened his eyes again, Father Zhong's matter had already been resolved, and Jiang Qing had already made up for the deficit before the people above investigated.

It's just that it will take a little time to catch the murderer behind the framing of Zhong's father.

Qi Jingchen stretched out his hand and straightened Zhong Jiaqi's hair: "You get up first, it's time to get ready for dinner, I'll pick up my dad and come back for dinner, and then discuss it well, who framed my father." ”

Zhong Jiaqi nodded obediently: "Okay, you can go quickly." ”

After Qi Jingchen entered the Municipal Department of Land and Resources, he found that the office was a little quiet, but Qi Jingchen didn't have time to ask about these things, he walked straight to the door of Zhong Yanbai's office, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times.

"Please come in!"

When Qi Jingchen walked into the office, Zhong Yanbai was facing a large push of documents in front of him, and he reached out to rub his temples from time to time, with a tired look on his face.

"Dad, I'll pick you up for dinner!"

Zhong Yanbai raised his head when he heard Qi Jingchen's voice. 120

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, and the smile on his face looked a little forced.

"It's Jingchen, the money that the Ministry of Resources lacks is something you asked people to make up, right?"

Qi Jingchen nodded: "Dad, the things that can be solved with money are not things, I believe that this money must have nothing to do with you, but things have developed to this point, I can only do this first, but the person who framed you, I will definitely find out." ”

"Jingchen, I didn't blame you, but I want to thank you, someone came from above just now, if you hadn't made up the money, I'm afraid I would have been taken away now, but this time it was really me who was careless, and made people worry about it."

"Dad, don't talk about this yet, Mom and Jiaqi are very worried about you, they are still waiting for you now, let's go home for dinner first, and we will discuss this matter in the evening."

"Good!" Zhong Yanbai's expression looked a little better.

He stretched out his hand to put away the documents in front of him, and carefully locked the drawer before leaving with Qi Jingchen.

Zhong Yanbai had just walked into the living room, and Zhong's mother immediately greeted her, and she grabbed Zhong's father's hand tightly: "Are you okay?" ”

Looking at his worried wife, Zhong Yanbai said with some guilt: "It's okay, Jingchen handled the matter very well, I'm fine, as for the person who framed me, we still have time, we can find it slowly." ”

Zhong Yanbai held Zhong's mother's shoulders and brought her to the dinner table, and after returning home, the smile on Zhong Yanbai's face was finally a little more natural than when he was in the office just now.

"Okay, aren't I all right now? Why are you still crying with a sad face? Have fun! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhong Yanbai sandwiched a piece of beef and put it in Qi Han's bowl.

"Hanhan, eat more!"

Qi Han picked up the chopsticks and complained: "It's not as delicious as my father's cooking." ”

Qi Jingchen stretched out his hand and nodded lightly on Qi Han's forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, Auntie's cooking is also delicious." ”

Everyone was amused by Qi Han's aggrieved appearance, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was finally no longer so serious.

After dinner, Qi Jingchen and Zhong Jiaqi went to Zhong Yanbai's study together, Zhong Yanbai naturally knew the intention of Qi Jingchen and Zhong Jiaqi, and he didn't plan to hide it deliberately.

He pushed a document in front of Qi Jingchen and Zhong Jiaqi.

"I think about it, the person who will deliberately deal with me, it is estimated that there is only this moment, in a previous project approval, I suspected that he accepted bribes, so recently I have been investigating relevant clues, but I didn't expect that I just had a little clue, I encountered such a thing, to say that this matter is a coincidence, even I don't want to believe it."

Qi Jingchen picked up the document and looked at it carefully, the person Zhong Yanbai said was Zhong Yanbai's assistant, you must know that Zhong Yanbai's recent investment is indeed a very easy thing, and the information found by Zhong's father is enough to prove that he accepted a large amount of bribes.

Father Zhong has the evidence of his crime, whether he wants to shut up Father Zhong or wants to take revenge on Father Zhong, he does have a motive to do this.

"Dad, you give me this document, no matter what, it will be very unfavorable for you to hand over this document, so leave this matter to me!"

Zhong Yanbai looked up at Qi Jingchen and nodded slightly, he still believed in Qi Jingchen's ability.

Qi Jingchen took the documents and left the study with Zhong Jiaqi.

There was such a big thing in the Zhong family, Qi Jingchen took Zhong Jiaqi to live in the Zhong family that night.

Looking at the document in Qi Jingchen's hand, Zhong Jiaqi couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Next, I naturally want to investigate this assistant carefully, if he really did something to frame Dad, he will definitely leave evidence, that public funds, Dad did not embezzle, then someone must have embezzled, that person can only be the one who framed Dad."

Zhong Jiaqi grabbed Qi Jingchen's hand: "If this matter is really done by that assistant, you must be calm, no matter what, he is also from the Ministry of Land and Resources." ”

Qi Jingchen stretched out his hand and gently arranged the hair on Zhong Jiaqi's cheeks behind his ears: "Don't worry, the evidence of accepting bribes in Dad's possession is enough for him to sit through the prison, and I am still investigating him, I just want to know if he did it to frame Dad." ”

Only then did Zhong Jiaqi relax and reached out to wrap his arms around Qi Jingchen's waist.

"I'm relieved when you say that, is there anything I need to do?"

Qi Jingchen ran Zhong Jiaqi's hair again and again: "The most important thing for you now is to help me deal with the cooperation with He's, don't forget that you are now the consultant of Qi's clothing design department, since you have decided to participate in this competition, then Qi's designers have to show their strength, don't make people think that Qi's is only good at jewelry design, but clothing design is a mess." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."
