Extend a helping hand

  The man opposite him finally put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled slightly as he looked up at him.

  "Director Guo, I heard that Lord Gongzi was injured today?"

  "Yes! By a scoundrel—"

  Before Guo Bao could say the word, he suddenly felt that the man's eyes had turned gloomy, and his heart skipped a beat as he hastily withdrew the word that was about to slip out of his mouth, instead saying with a smile.

  "Had a bit of a misunderstanding with one of his classmates, haha, haha..."

  That man looked at him for a moment, then lowered his eyes with a thoughtful expression, as if pondering something. The private room suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Guo Bao felt his heart racing as if it was about to jump out of his chest. Clearly, there was no grudge between them, so why did he always have a bad premonition?

  He spent a long time in suspense like this before the man finally raised his eyes again, with a polite and faint smile still in his eyebrows.

  "It's like this, Director Guo, that classmate of Young Master who had a misunderstanding with him happens to be an acquaintance of mine..."

  Guo Baochai was stunned on the spot, and the man continued speaking.

  "I heard she's been taken to the police station now. Look at her, just a young girl who doesn't understand things too well, can't you let it go..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Guo Baochai had already grasped his meaning and hastily interrupted him.

  "Director Lu, don't worry, I'll call them to release the person right away! It's just a misunderstanding between classmates, no need to make it so awkward, haha, haha..."

  "Then I'll have to trouble Director Guo!"

  That person smiled slightly and casually threw out a sentence, the faint gloom hidden between his eyebrows gradually dispersed. Guo Baochai hastily picked up the phone and called his subordinates in charge of this matter, telling them to release the person immediately.

  Guo Baochai put down the phone and smiled obsequiously at the person, then his gaze turned back to the pile of things in front of him, and he was too busy staring greedily at the pile of things to notice that a hint of cruelty and disgust had flashed across the other person's eyes, but it was quickly hidden. The person stood up calmly and spoke in a light tone.

  "Thanks a lot for having dinner together tonight, Director Guo! I still have something on, so I'll take my leave first!"

  Guo Baochai finally lifted his eyes from the pile of gifts and nodded in agreement with him.

  "Director Lu, you're too kind! It's also an honor for me to be invited by you to have dinner together!"

  The man smiled with his eyes and slightly leaned forward, politely extending his hand for a handshake.

  "So then, Director Guo, let's meet again next time!"

  "Alright, alright, let's meet again! Let's meet again!"

  Guo Baochai laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close, and the man walked away while fastening the bottom button of his suit jacket. In an instant, he disappeared into the private room.

  As soon as she walked out of the police station, the heavy rain was still pouring down. She had only taken a few steps when her legs went soft and everything went black in front of her eyes, and her body fell to the ground limply.

  In the afternoon, she was taken away when it had been raining for half a day. After arriving at the police station, those people threw her into a cold interrogation room and even sadistically turned on the air conditioner. She was frozen, shrinking in the corner, shivering with fear, and soon caught a severe cold, sneezing constantly. Throughout the night, she felt like her brain was going to be burned out, but no one cared about her.
