Chapter 839 Powerless
Huo Yan widened his eyes slightly, feeling nervous, but he couldn't help laughing because Qian Ziang looked like a monkey now.
He pursed his lips and watched as Qian Ziang actually opened the window and climbed in from above.
Huo Yan suddenly understood that being thin had this advantage. At least he didn't have to worry about getting stuck when climbing through the window.
Qian Ziang opened the door from the inside and Huo Yan walked in. Kou Quan had fainted from hunger and was lying motionless on the sofa.
The house was in a mess, as if it had been robbed. Everything that could be taken away was taken away. Looking around, only the sofa and coffee table were left in the living room. Even the TV had been taken away. The security in this community is too bad. Can anyone take away things from the house?
Huo Yan frowned. She remembered that at the Oriental Pearl Tower, even computers had to be released after the owner made a phone call. Why were the property management in this community so lax?
I walked up to Kou Xiaoquan, picked up the child, touched his forehead, and fortunately he didn't have a fever.
"Let's go to the hospital first."
Huo Yan spoke softly. Kou Quan was five years old and the child was well-grown. It was a little difficult for Huo Yan to hold him, so Qian Ziang took him over directly.
"Let me do it. I'm your coachman today anyway."
Huo Yan continued, "Did I ask you to come? You showed up on your own."
"Okay, okay, I'm a slut, I can't get anything good out of it, okay?"
Qian Ziang strode out holding the child.
The two of them walked out one after the other, and there was nothing they could do since the door couldn't be locked. They could only ask the property management to be more careful, and then they left the community and went straight to the hospital.
On the way, Huo Yan asked Qian Ziang what had happened to Ali and why it was so serious.
Qian Ziang remained silent, and Huo Yan glared at him twice before finally saying a few words.
"Don't get involved in Mingli's affairs. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't. She's not clean herself. If the higher-ups get serious, she won't be able to escape even if she has three heads and six arms. Secretary Kou has been in the government for decades. How could he have stayed in that position for so many years without some connections? Even he got into trouble. Just think about it, how can your sister have a good ending?"
"I know Ali. She would never break the law knowingly." Huo Yan said seriously.
Qian Ziang looked at Huo Yan as if he were an idiot:
"What can I say about you? You're just a fool. You believe everything anyone says. I even said I was a good person, but do you believe me? No one who enters that door can be said to be clean. Those who didn't get into trouble can only say that they were lucky that he wasn't found guilty."
After a pause, he turned to look at Huo Yan:
"Mingli, she was probably harmed by her husband. She's only been working for a few years, so even if she pocketed some of the money, it wouldn't be a big deal. But since there's a big boss in the family, she'll definitely have to be investigated."
What Qian Ziang said was right. Ali was betrayed by her own man.
What’s the point of Ali scraping away that little bit of money?
One reason is that her current position is there, and she would like to get more, but she has no chance. Asking her to do things is not a big deal, it is just looking for some backdoor or something.
The only thing people are trying to save is her man's reputation, so her position is meaningless.
If it happened to someone else, her situation would be harmless, but she couldn't withstand the consequences if something happened to Kou Yuancheng.
At this critical juncture, any slight mistake will be magnified, and Ali is considered to have been sacrificed.
Normally, you would just have to pay a fine, but now you will definitely have to stay in prison for a few years. It’s someone who comes directly from above, so there’s nothing you can do about it. They’re keeping a close eye on you.
Huo Yan didn't understand these things. The officialdom and political circles were too different from her field, and she couldn't figure it out.
I wanted to help, but I was at a loss.
"What should we do? Is there really no way?" Huo Yan asked Qian Ziang.
Qian Ziang spread his hands: "I don't know about that. We are all from a small place in Kyoto. I don't know any of the officials in the capital."
It takes more than just a person of this position to get involved in this matter. There are so many twists and turns involved that outsiders simply cannot understand it.
"Why are you targeting Ali's husband?"
Huo Yan was puzzled. She had met Lord Kou before, and he was a very gentle man, not like a wicked villain.
Qian Ziang was helpless, thinking that she had grown up a lot in the past few years, but apart from her face growing bigger, she hadn't changed at all.
"Mingli's husband was a key candidate nominated by his superiors for transfer to the capital. He was thoroughly investigated behind the scenes by an investigative team before he even started. Perhaps he thought he had a clean bill of health, so he let his guard down. But who knew the real culprits were still waiting to come? Just when he was daring enough to make a big move, he ran into a trap. Do you understand my explanation?"
Qian Ziang spoke to Huo Yan patiently, trying to explain things in plain words as much as possible, as she wouldn't understand anything he said.
To put it bluntly, they walked into trouble. They thought they had avoided the inspection by their superiors, so they started to make big moves. However, it turned out that they were just avoiding the cover thrown by their superiors. Only later did they get serious.
Huo Yan nodded reluctantly, as if he understood.
"What about Ali?" Huo Yan murmured.
Qian Ziang didn't respond. This matter was not something that law-abiding citizens like them could solve.
He is a good citizen and has never done those bad things. It is better for him to stay away from them.
Kou Quan woke up in the hospital.
Huo Yan bought some porridge and asked the child some questions. Fortunately, Kou Quan didn't know what had happened to his parents, so Huo Yan finally felt relieved.
"Xiao Quan, I'm Aunt Yanyan. You know me, right?"
Huo Yan held the child's hand and communicated with her patiently. They occasionally met through video calls, and she hoped that the child had not forgotten her.
Kou Quan nodded:
"I know, Aunt Yanyan, where are my dad and mom? That bad woman at home stole all our things. I want to tell Dad and Mom."
"No, you misunderstood. It was your parents who asked your aunt to do that, you know? Your mother said she wanted to move to another house, so she won't live there anymore. Your aunt asked those people to move things and sell them. The money from the sales will be given to your parents. Don't think too much about it, okay?" Huo Yan said seriously.
"But they pushed me and hit me!" Kou Quan said loudly with resentment in his eyes.
A five-year-old child does not know nothing. He knows a lot and is very clear about the basic principles of right and wrong, good and evil.
Huo Yan frowned slightly, paused, and changed his tone.
"Then how about this, when mom comes back, I'll tell her and let her make the decision for you, okay?"
"Okay, Auntie is most afraid of my mother, and my mother will never let her go." Kou Quan said fiercely with gritted teeth.
Huo Yan was helpless. How unfortunate it would be for such a young child to have hatred in his heart?
"Xiaoquan, do you know where your parents have gone?" Huo Yan asked the child.
