After chatting for a while, she saw that it was getting late and took her leave.

Reluctantly, Wang Ting saw Xiang Wan off to the car, instructing Yang Heng to ensure her safe return home.

Yang Heng escorted Xiang Wan back to her home, and he advised her to rest well today and assured her that he would pick her up early tomorrow to go to Huo’s residence together.

The next day, Xiang Wan woke up early. Perhaps the warm atmosphere from yesterday had an impact on her mood before sleeping, as she had a very good night without any dreams.

Not long after, Yang Heng and Old Zhang drove over to pick her up. She got into the car and headed to the Huo residence.

“Uncle Yang, don’t go in first. Uncle Zhang and I will go in first. I’ll have a battle of wits with them first to gather some evidence. If the situation gets out of control, I’ll signal Uncle Zhang to come and ask you for help. You can come and help me hold the fort!” Xiang Wan winked at Yang Heng.

“Hahaha, alright, alright! We’ll do as you say!” Yang Heng laughed heartily when he saw her mischievous expression.

Seeing that he had agreed, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile as she looked at him. She then got out of the car with Old Zhang and entered the Huo family’s residence.

As Old Zhang observed the interaction between the girl and the chief, along with the information he had uncovered the previous day, his respect for the girl grew.

Xiang Wan appeared gentle on the surface, but she was quite formidable. Yesterday, she seemed to be the victim, but she didn’t suffer any losses at all. On the contrary, it was the other who suffered heavy losses.

When he told Chief Yang about this, Chief Yang did not say anything. Instead, he was happy and unhappy at the same time, sighing as he said that she was becoming more and more like that person. Old Zhang could not figure out who he was referring to, perhaps a friend of the chief.

In the Huo family’s living room.

Huo Song was toasting with a middle-aged man, while Liu Lu stood by serving them.

“I’ll have to trouble Brother Fu later. Here’s a toast to you,” Huo Song raised his glass and said to Fu Shan.

Fu Shan was the captain of the Traffic Police Team. Due to certain reasons, he held considerable authority in the team. Huo Song had a somewhat distant relationship with him, merely an acquaintance.

Initially, Fu Shan had no interest in meddling in such trivial family matters. However, due to Huo Song’s considerable favors and the fact that it was just a matter of helping him show off some dominance, he reluctantly agreed to make the trip.

He was also afraid of getting into trouble, so he had someone investigate the other party in advance. He found out that she was just an orphan girl returning to the country alone, not worth mentioning. That’s why he agreed to take on this task.

After all, just making a trip could earn him a substantial reward, and it would also add to his achievements. Why not!

“No problem, no problem!” Fu Shan sipped the tea in his hand and wrinkled his brow. He couldn’t stand this lousy tea; alcohol was much more satisfying!

Setting down the teacup, Fu Shan casually turned his head and caught a glimpse of an elegantly adorned skirt hem.

Raising his gaze, Fu Shan froze in place.

The person before him seemed to have stepped out of a painting. With a touch of makeup on her face and a perfectly poised smile, her willowy eyebrows curved gently above her forehead, and her peach-blossom eyes blinked seductively.

The person who entered was Xiang Wan, with Old Zhang following behind her.

“Brother Fu, Brother Fu?” Huo Song was wondering why Fu Shan was stunned on the spot when he heard a scream beside him.

“Ah! It’s her! Captain Fu! It’s this b*tch… woman who wants to steal our house! Hurry up and arrest her!” Liu Lu saw Xiang Wan right away and viciously cursed at her, pointing her finger.

Liu Lu had come to despise Xiang Wan. If it weren’t for her sudden appearance, Liu Lu should have been enjoying an enviable position as the ‘Factory Director’s Wife’. If it weren’t for Xiang Wan, her treasured jewelry wouldn’t have been taken away, and if it wasn’t for Xiang Wan…

Huo Song also looked at Xiang Wan, and his eyes flared with anger. Seeing her, he was reminded of that day’s humiliation.

Falling from the divine platform into the mud pool, he had never been so humiliated in his entire life!

“Brother Fu, remember our agreement! If this matter is resolved, you can choose anything from the Huo family!” Huo Song whispered to Fu Shan in a low voice.

“Alright, alright, alright!” Fu Shan said the word ‘alright’ three times in a row.

Huo Song looked at Fu Shan’s infatuated face and cursed in his heart. Could it be that he was enticed by that little b*tch’s beauty?

“Brother Fu, don’t be anxious. If you can help me settle this matter and send this woman to prison, what happens to her will be up to you, right? You’ll have money, a career, and a beautiful woman, all in your hand! Hehehe~” Huo Song quickly tried to tempt him, his face revealing an evil smile.

Seeing the strange looks in the eyes of the two men, Xiang Wan guessed what they were thinking and shuddered internally.
