Qin Tuo was slightly displeased by the important figure’s high-and-mighty attitude.

In a low voice, Qin Tuo slowly asked,

”Inspector Huo, what kind of important figure are we talking about? Is he unwilling to even state his name?”

Seeing that Qin Tuo was clearly unhappy, Huo Jianqiang felt quite helpless.

But it truly was inconvenient to casually reveal the important figure’s identity, so Huo Jianqiang could only force a helpless smile.

”Mr. Qin, the important figure’s identity is rather special. It’s not appropriate for me to say it right now. You’ll find out naturally if you come with me, alright?”

However, Qin Tuo coldly shook his head, refusing him on the spot.

”No, thanks. Inspector Huo, since you’re unwilling to talk, please see yourself out. I have things to do and no time to entertain you!”

Seeing Qin Tuo’s cold demeanor, Huo Jianqiang couldn’t help but try to persuade him again.

”Mr. Qin, please listen to me. It’s just one meeting. There’s no harm in it.”

But Qin Tuo just gave a cold smile, unwilling to waste any more words on Huo Jianqiang.

He already had important matters to attend to. How could he have the time to engage in a tug-of-war with Huo Jianqiang?

”Inspector Huo, please leave!”

A nearby servant, being quite perceptive, stepped forward to show the guest out.

Seeing Qin Tuo act this way, Huo Jianqiang took a deep breath and said seriously,

”Mr. Qin, you may not be aware, but this is a very powerful figure. If you don’t go see him, I’m afraid you’ll offend him. The consequences would be unimaginable!”

Qin Tuo had already been about to leave. Hearing this, he stopped, slowly turned around, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

”Oh, is that so?”

Huo Jianqiang nodded quickly and continued,

”Yes, Mr. Qin. And I can reveal a little something for you: this important figure is from the Capital City. Are you sure you don’t want to meet him?”

In Huo Jianqiang’s mind, now that he had brought up the important figure’s formidable background, Qin Tuo should, out of caution, agree to a meeting no matter what.

’And with that, my mission would be complete!’

But he never expected that after hearing this, the cold sneer on Qin Tuo’s face would become so obvious.

He said slowly,

”I don’t care what important figure he is or where he’s from. Inspector Huo, please see yourself out!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tuo had a servant show the guest out.

As for Qin Tuo himself, he left the hall without a backward glance.

At that moment, seeing Qin Tuo just walk away, Huo Jianqiang became extremely anxious.

He stood up, ready to chase after him, but several servants immediately blocked his path.

”Mr. Huo, please conduct yourself with dignity!”

The servants’ brows were deeply furrowed as they urged Huo Jianqiang to leave at once.

They had already been polite enough. If this Huo Jianqiang didn’t know what was good for him and dared to cause trouble here, these servants could easily take him down.

After all, though they were servants, they were also the guardians of Qin Tuo’s home. Each of them possessed uncommon abilities, and dealing with a single Huo Jianqiang would be more than easy.

Huo Jianqiang was furious but helpless. He could only turn and leave the villa with regret.

On the way, Huo Jianqiang drove while thinking about how he was going to report this later.

Soon, he arrived at a luxurious hotel and stopped in front of a suite.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Huo Jianqiang knocked on the door cautiously.

”Come in!”

A deep voice of a middle-aged man came from inside the room.

Not daring to linger, Huo Jianqiang carefully opened the door and walked in.

Inside the room was a middle-aged man with a profound gaze and a dignified bearing, slowly practicing calligraphy with a brush.

Standing beside him was a young man in casual clothes, his face full of arrogance, as if he looked down on everyone.

The middle-aged man set down his brush and asked with a chuckle,

”Inspector Huo, where is the person I asked you to invite?”

The person he was referring to was, of course, Qin Tuo.

But since Huo Jianqiang had failed his mission, he shook his head, his face filled with shame.

”I’m sorry, Mr. Kong. I wasn’t able to bring him.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man, Mr. Kong, was slightly surprised and couldn’t help but ask,

”Oh? Inspector Huo, what happened?”

He couldn’t quite understand how Huo Jianqiang had failed to even invite a single young man.

Huo Jianqiang sighed helplessly and continued to explain,

”It’s like this, Mr. Kong. I couldn’t very well tell that Qin Tuo your specific identity, but I never expected him to show no respect at all and just have his people throw me out.”

When the young man beside them heard this, he flew into a rage and said through gritted teeth,

”That bastard! He’s utterly shameless! Who the hell does he think he is?”

However, Mr. Kong shook his head and said slowly,

”Xiaozhang, don’t be so rash. After all, the man doesn’t know who we are. It’s reasonable for him to be a little wary.”

But Xiaozhang, still indignant, said,

”Mr. Kong, that kid is too disrespectful. Why don’t you let me go and drag him over here!”

But Mr. Kong replied seriously,

”Xiaozhang, the man hasn’t done anything wrong. How can we just go and arrest people at will!”

Hearing this, Xiaozhang lowered his head and said no more.

Then, Mr. Kong gave another order.

”How about this: Xiaozhang, go prepare a generous gift. We will pay him a personal visit shortly!”

Upon hearing this, Huo Jianqiang, who was standing nearby, was completely shocked.

He was keenly aware of Mr. Kong’s background. How could an important figure like him possibly pay a personal visit to Qin Tuo?

At this thought, Huo Jianqiang couldn’t help but protest,

”Mr. Kong, you mustn’t! With your status, how could you take the initiative to visit a junior?”

Xiaozhang looked even more furious and blurted out,

”What kind of person is that kid? Is he even worthy of us paying him a personal visit?”

If it weren’t for Mr. Kong’s presence, he probably would have started cursing a storm by now.

However, watching their reactions, Mr. Kong just smiled faintly, not angry in the slightest.

He said earnestly,

”There are things you don’t understand. For an extraordinary individual like him, it is indeed proper for me to take the initiative to visit. Don’t you think?”

However, both Huo Jianqiang and Xiaozhang looked unconvinced, clearly disagreeing with him.

Mr. Kong continued,

”Besides... that boy from the Liu Family of the Capital City died at his hands. For someone with such great ability, it’s only normal to have a bit of a temper!”

Hearing this, Huo Jianqiang’s indignant expression instantly turned to one of utter panic.

He drew in a sharp, cold breath, clearly shaken to his core!

It was the first time Huo Jianqiang had ever heard of this. Liu Tao was dead? And he died at Qin Tuo’s hands?

Suddenly, Huo Jianqiang felt a surge of doubt and couldn’t help but ask,

”Mr. Kong, you’re saying Qin Tuo killed Liu Tao? How is that possible?”
