As soon as the door of the conference room opened, there was a row of stares outside.

Surprised, suspicious, contemptuous, contemptuous, indifferent, theater-goer, irrelevant... all kinds of looks, like invisible daggers, piercing her body.

.

Mint was stunned for a moment, and his steps subconsciously stopped.

"I'm sorry, please give way..." Several policemen motioned to everyone not to block the road.

The crowd dispersed one after another, and it took a long time to make way for a small walkway.

Only then did Mint realize that the small office was already full of people, not only from the French team, but also from the English team next door, the Russian team, the Arabic team, etc.

In just the blink of an eye, the news spread. It turns out that good deeds can travel thousands of miles without leaving home!

Mint endured the embarrassment in her heart and quickened her pace.

However, until she walked very far, she still felt like a light on her back.

And that feeling was not unfamiliar to her, and it reminded her unconsciously of ten years ago.

It was precisely because of that experience that she told herself over and over again in her heart that no matter what, she would fight to the end!

It was not her fault in the first place. She must prove her innocence and never compromise!

The chief superintendent took her one step ahead, and Guan Shouheng followed the two senior superintendents. When Guan Shouheng saw everyone looking at each other and whispering, he couldn't help but his handsome face sank. He first said politely

Asked the two senior superintendents, "Mr. Police, can you give me a minute?"

"Of course." The two superintendents nodded happily. Originally, they took Guan Shouheng back for routine questioning. He was not the subject of the French Xinlin Company's lawsuit, but was only cooperating with the investigation.

"Thank you." After Guan Shouheng thanked him, he slowly raised his eyes, his dark eyes wandering around in a circle, slowly scanning the crowd, and he didn't know who the final focus was on, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is now in my hands.

The police are handling the matter. Before the investigation results are officially released, please don’t make any assumptions! Don’t make assumptions and follow what others say! I believe the police will give us a satisfactory answer in the end! And through this incident, I hope to give everyone a warning, that is

Do your job well, be honest and trustworthy! No one should take any chances, because anyone who does something wrong will definitely be punished in the end! Do you understand?"

"I understand." The spectators dispersed and went back to their workrooms.

In the conference room, Fang Yuan's appearance remained unchanged, but her fingers secretly clenched the edge of the table, as if she was guilty and nervous.

***

Police station.

The commercial crime squad's inquiry room.

Mint sat solemnly in front of a bare table, and Guan Shouheng also sat next to her, but the treatment they received was very different.

The two superintendents were aggressive and asked her direct and pointed questions. However, their attitude towards Guan Shouheng was much better, and their tone was polite and respectful.

After a few questions, Mint's head began to buzz. She held on to keep from falling down. She said everything she knew.

"Ms. Bo, one last question! The representative of the French Xinlin Company pointed out that you and your group met on Saturday night, and the next night, that is, at midnight on Sunday, the news about Joe's broke out on the Internet, so the French

The representative of Xinlin Company has reasonable suspicion that the leak occurred during this period. What were you doing during this period?"

"I..." Mint tried hard to remember and told the truth, "After the meeting on Saturday night, I went to see a colleague. We sat at Dongfeng Zui for a while, and then we went home. I didn't go out again that night.

On Sunday I go to Morning Star Kindergarten to teach the children, nothing else."

Guan Shouheng's silent handsome face showed no trace of emotion, but there was an almost invisible worry in his eyes. Is she working part-time again?

The work at the expo is already very hard, why should she do several jobs by herself?

Did you encounter any difficulties?

"Ms. Bo, your words are unfounded. Are there any witnesses to what you said?" the police continued to ask.

witness?

The only witness in the family is An An, but... we can't say this, right?

Mint thought for a while and had no choice but to say, "I live alone. As for part-time work on Sundays, the principal of the kindergarten and the children's parents can prove it."

The two policemen looked at each other, and one of them immediately stood up, apparently to investigate.

"Okay, Miss Bo, that's all today's questions. Thank you very much for your cooperation." The remaining policeman said in a deep voice, but his tone was emotionless and cold.

"You're welcome." Mint said softly, and slowly stood up, feeling that his hands and feet were soft.

"Miss Bo, please don't leave Xihai during this period. If we have any problems later, we will notify you separately."

Mint was slightly startled, but could only nod calmly, "I understand."

"Mr. Guan, you can leave."

"Okay, thank you." Guan Shouheng stood up slowly, looking at the slender figure in front of him, his eyes tightened.

The two of them walked out of the inquiry room one after another. Guan Shouheng went to the parking lot to pick up his car, while Mint was walking along the sidewalk in a daze, with someone behind her that had nothing to do with her.

In fact, she didn't know what she was feeling sad about. Was it just because he didn't say a word to believe her?

So what if he believes it? The police must believe it!

But why does she have to be so stupid and expect so much from him?

Looking at the endless flow of the road, I suddenly felt a little confused and didn't know where to go.

I've been laid off, and I don't have to go to the office. I'm completely free, but I don't know what to do.

I just feel this kind of idleness, which is so oppressive that I almost can't breathe.

She didn't want to go home either. The area near the small attic was being demolished recently. In the two neighboring communities, residents were moving one after another. Every time a household was moved, another household was demolished. The dust was flying and the noise was unsettling.

It would only make her feel more sad when she went back, and the rumbling sound would only remind her to find a house and move quickly.

An An was still in school at this time, and she couldn't go to school, otherwise her son would notice something was wrong with her, and she didn't want An An to worry.

Just walking along the street aimlessly.

She didn't know that behind her, a black Mercedes-Benz had been following slowly.

Guan Shouheng clenched the steering wheel with both hands, veins jumping on the back of his hands. It took a lot of strength to restrain his urge to catch up.

Now is not the time, wait, wait!

"Beep--" The car's horn sounded towards her.

Mint heard the sound and turned around and saw a familiar Aston Martin. The windows slowly rolled down and Zhuo Xi had an anxious expression on his face.

"Mint, are you okay? Get in the car quickly!"

"I...it's okay." She quickly endured the soreness in the corners of her eyes.

Zhuo Xi was palpitating. As soon as he got the news, he called her immediately, but her phone kept turning off. He had no choice but to go to the convention and exhibition center first. When he arrived, he was even more surprised. She was taken away directly by the police.

!

He finally understood why her phone number couldn't be reached. Of course, the person being interrogated couldn't contact the outside world at will, but she was just a subject of suspicion now. How could they treat her like that?

He was just a painter, not a lawyer, and he didn't understand the judicial procedures, but he felt aggrieved and distressed for her!

"Mint, come on, get in the car quickly. No matter what, I believe in you!" he comforted her.

Mint forced out a stiff smile and said, "Thank you."

Thank you that there are still people who believe in her at this time.

She bent down and sat in the car. The air-conditioning in the car blew, but it made her feel warm.

Zhuo Xi looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon, then he suggested with concern, "How about I treat you to dinner at noon? A new Western restaurant has opened next to my gallery. I heard that the steak is good, let's go and try it?"

steak?

Mint's heart was overflowing again, and she felt that the tears that had just stopped were rising again.

She shook her head vigorously and said with difficulty, "...I'm not hungry yet."

Zhuo Xi also knew that she would not be in the mood to eat, but there was no way she could continue like this.

"Then why don't you come back to the gallery with me first?"

Mint shook her head subconsciously. She knew that Zhuo Xi was very busy recently, and her last trip to the farmhouse was delayed due to work. She didn't want to disturb his work.

"No, you send me there..." She was at a loss for a moment, not knowing where she wanted to go or where she could go.

Her home was gone long ago, and she couldn't go to An An's school, and she didn't want to disturb Zhuo Xi and Wu Yinan.

"You can go anywhere you want." Zhuoxi said softly.

"... Let's go to the prison hospital. I want to see my mother." Mint suddenly thought of Shen Mei. Although she knew her mother wouldn't want to see her, she hadn't been there for a long time and didn't know how she was doing.

Zhuo Xi felt her fragility and strength, and felt a wave of reluctance in her heart, so she quickly comforted her and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. Maybe my aunt will get better as soon as she's happy because I'm so handsome!"

"

He was joking on purpose.

Mint raised the corner of his mouth, it would be great if that was the case.

However, she knew that it was impossible.

Mom hates her very much, hates her very much, hates her for bringing down the whole family, hates her for making her live a life without freedom that is worse than death.
