Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Chapter 169: 169 Stand up for Her (2)_1

Che Huan explained the origins of the matter.

Li Li bellowed loudly, ”Then tell me, how did my money end up in the box you were packing?”

”...” Che Huan glanced over, unsure of how to explain, and looked towards Principal Hu, ”Is there any surveillance here?”

Principal Hu shook his head, feeling that something was fishy about this affair.

He looked in Li Li’s direction, ”I trust Nurse Che is not that kind of person. Once the police arrive, they should be able to investigate thoroughly and provide Mrs. Zhao with an explanation!”

Li Li sneered coldly at the ten stacks of banknotes in the drawer, her voice shrilly echoing throughout the corridor, ”Principal Hu, that’s clearly favoritism! The evidence is right here, what else is there to investigate! Today, I must expose this little bitch...”

Suddenly, a series of crisp and efficient footsteps resonated in the hallway.

Li Li couldn’t help but look over.

Huo Jinnan walked over, accompanied by several individuals dressed in black suits, his thin lips pressed tightly, exuding an intimidating presence.

Qin Shaojin followed behind, with a solemn expression.

Both of them entered the office where Che Huan was.

Behind them, four uniformly dressed individuals in black suits cleared the onlookers and formed a line at the door, blocking the view inside, including Principal Hu and the head nurse outside.

The crowd suddenly grew quiet, having assumed that the police had arrived, but instead...

Who were these people?

Their imposing manner was truly unnerving!

The previously wide-open door was now closed, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Who were these sudden arrivals here to support, Mrs. Zhao or the nurse?

Outside the door, silence reigned, while inside, it also became quiet instantly.

Huo Jinnan stood a meter away from Li Li, looking down at her from a superior position.

The man had a natural authority about him, so much so that even the usually brash Li Li suddenly didn’t dare make a sound.

Qin Shaojin walked over, looking at Li Li and had already activated the recorder pen hidden in his sleeve, ”Mrs. Zhao, please repeat what happened at the time?”

Li Li, subdued, looked at Huo Jinnan with a much quieter voice, ”This nurse named Che Huan stole the money from my bag.”

Huo Jinnan remained silent while Qin Shaojin asked softly, ”May I ask how Mrs. Zhao verified this?”

Li Li glanced at Che Huan, her face turning pale, ”My... my money was in her medical box. What other confirmation is needed?”

After recording the sound, Qin Shaojin smiled harmlessly and looked in Huo Jinnan’s direction.

Huo Jinnan stood there, silent, his gaze cold as he stared at Li Li.

Li Li stood there, her legs suddenly turning to jelly. Miss Gu didn’t mention that Che Huan had any powerful connections when she asked her to do this!

Who were these people who had just appeared out of nowhere?

Remembering that the Gu Family had the backing of the Huo Family, and with nothing to prove her involvement, Che Huan could jump into the Yellow River and still not cleanse herself from the accusation of being a thief, Li Li gradually regained her composure. ”Sir, the police will be here any minute now! I’d advise you to mind your own business!”

Huo Jinnan averted his gaze, looking towards Che Huan, noticing her swollen half-face and slowly reached out his hand, ”Give me your hand.”

Che Huan looked towards Huo Jinnan, not expecting him to come, and stood there without moving.

Huo Jinnan’s brow furrowed slightly as he grasped her wrist, holding her hand in his palm.

Che Huan involuntarily curled her fingers, trying to pull away.

Huo Jinnan’s gaze was sharp as he fixed his eyes on Che Huan, his long, sinewy fingers straightened hers one by one, and with a sudden twist of the wrist, he delivered a fierce slap across Li Li’s face.
