Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1824: Chapter 1727: Shock

Upon hearing the couple discussing the judicial bureau and ”double designation” matters, which were all political shifts in Meishan, Zhao Qihui lost interest.

He was a reporter, but he also knew that some topics were untouchable, so he didn’t plan to keep filming. He was about to pack up his camera and leave, but unexpectedly, he froze upon hearing what the man’s wife said next.

”That’s right. Zhao Si offended someone, and that person is a major general, with a rank much higher than his director at the judicial bureau! Luckily, you reacted quickly back then and didn’t completely offend Miss Huo, otherwise, you couldn’t even be a police officer!”

The wife nodded, her face full of relief, and suddenly seemed to remember something, then said:

”But I’m a bit puzzled and curious. Isn’t this Miss Huo said to be the wife of the Gu Family from the Imperial Capital? She’s an official family’s daughter, how could she come here to endure hardships? I see her rescuing people with more enthusiasm than you proper policemen. Over a week, the number of people she saved is well over hundreds, if not a thousand, right?”

Upon hearing his wife mention this, the man felt a bit depressed, clearly ashamed and self-conscious that he, a dignified police officer, was not as effective in rescuing people as this young woman.

But quickly, the man came to terms and said:

”How could someone her age become a major general without some skills? I heard she’s quite knowledgeable in Kanyu, reportedly doing Dragon Vein Seeking. She can figure out the intricacies of even Thousand-Year Ancient Tombs with just a touch, let alone rescuing people — it’s a small matter for her.”

The wife nodded in agreement with her husband but still said:

”What you say is certainly correct, but what I admire about Miss Huo is something else. I truly never expected that such a delicate official family’s daughter could stay here for ten days without much rest and without a single complaint. Not to mention her, even rural women couldn’t endure ten days of bad food, bad sleep, and physical exertion for saving people.”

The couple continued to chat while Zhao Qihui, upon hearing the name ”Huo Sining,” had his journalistic instincts triggered, raised his sharp brows, widened his eyes, and perked his sensitive ears, secretly wondering if the official family’s daughter they were talking about could be the Miss Huo he knows?

Zhao Qihui’s eyes flashed, and he started to feel upbeat, sensing that perhaps he had stumbled upon something significant.

As the couple chatted away, the man had finished gnawing on his corn and was preparing to leave. Seeing this, Zhao Qihui swiftly approached them, eager to prevent their departure, and inquired:

”Excuse me, please wait a moment.”

Li Gang and Liu Yan turned around, looking puzzled at Zhao Qihui: ”What’s the matter?”

Zhao Qihui hesitated for a moment before cautiously speaking: ”Hello, I’m a reporter from Yangcheng Weekly. Just now, I accidentally overheard your conversation. The Miss Huo you mentioned, is she the Miss Magic Huo Sining from Magic Capital?”

Liu Yan instinctively exchanged glances with Li Gang.

Li Gang, having been in the police station for years, knew that unscrupulous reporters often twisted facts, so upon hearing Zhao Qihui ask about Huo Sining, he naturally felt a bit wary and asked: ”Why are you asking this?”

Zhao Qihui noticed Li Gang’s expression and realized he had likely misunderstood, hurriedly smiled, and gestured toward Li Gang, explaining:

”You’ve misunderstood, I mean no harm. I just heard you mentioning Miss Huo and was shocked to learn that Miss Huo stayed in the disaster area for ten days, so I wanted to ask.”

Li Gang stared at Zhao Qihui’s face for several seconds, eventually determining that this person didn’t seem malicious, so he nodded and said:

”You heard correctly. We were indeed discussing Miss Magic Huo Sining. She was filming here when she encountered the earthquake, narrowly escaping death, and later participated in rescue operations in the disaster area. She only left Qingya three days ago.”

Zhao Qihui immediately showed a look of shock: ”She left only three days ago? But wasn’t it said that their crew was sent out by the rescue team on the day of the earthquake?”

Li Gang shook his head and said: ”That’s not true. The rescue team indeed sent away many people from Meishan Film and Television Base, and the members of Yulong Entertainment Company’s crew were also rescued the same day. But Miss Huo refused to leave with the main group. She’s Doctor Nie Dechang’s apprentice from Yulong Mountain, skilled in treating the injured, and having learned Kanyu, she knows where there are people buried under the ruins, so she insisted on staying.”

Hearing this news, Zhao Qihui was stunned. He never imagined that the truth was like this; Miss Huo did not leave the disaster area that day but stayed in Qingya to rescue people!

Recalling how Miss Magic had been attacked and insulted online from yesterday till today, Zhao Qihui couldn’t help but feel a surge of sympathy and anger.

Those keyboard warriors just sit at home, tapping away and condemning such a kind-hearted girl, while ignorant of the fact that as they spew vile words at her, she was in the disaster area, rescuing one despairing victim after another with her actions.

Compared to what this girl has done, those keyboard warriors are unbelievably shameless and despicable.

Fueled by righteous anger, Zhao Qihui’s spirit was instantly enlivened. He hurriedly turned on his camera, aimed it at Li Gang, and also took out his mobile phone, ready to record any useful information from the couple.

Upon seeing this, Li Gang immediately became cautious again, sternly questioning:

”What are you about to do? You can’t film us. Without Miss Huo’s permission, you can’t expose this—it wouldn’t be good for Miss Huo.”

Previously acting on Zhao Si’s orders to bother Huo Sining, Li Gang was driven by interests and power pressures, with no choice;

But during the time spent rescuing people with Huo Sining in the disaster area, although brief, Li Gang had clearly understood Huo Sining’s qualities. He genuinely admired this young woman from the bottom of his heart, and didn’t want to cause any trouble for her without her knowing.

Journalists wield sharp words, which can easily spark a public opinion war and potentially ruin a girl directly, so Li Gang hoped this reporter wouldn’t publish what he just said.
