Zhong Jiaqi leaned against Qi Jingchen's arms and took a deep breath. The freshness of mint penetrated into Zhong Jiaqi's nasal cavity, and the familiar smell gradually calmed her heart down.

"My dad will be fine!"

Qi Jingchen stretched out his hand and patted Zhong Jiaqi's back lightly a few times, and said to Jiang Qing, "Did the higher-ups not get clear information about the lack of public funds?"

Jiang Qing nodded: "No one has started to check the accounts of the Municipal Department of Land and Resources yet, and they probably don't have conclusive evidence yet."

Qi Jingchen thought for a while: "This matter must be solved before they investigate Dad, otherwise, even if the truth is finally found out, it will not be good for Dad's reputation. Jiang Qing, first use the money to make up for the public funds. The money will be deducted from my personal account, as for the person who framed Dad, we will continue to investigate."

Jiang Qing put away the documents and immediately followed Qi Jingchen's request. She did not dare to delay at all. If because of her delay, the people above caught the evidence and caused Zhong's father's loss, Qi Jingchen would definitely show no mercy strangled her.

After Jiang Qing left, Qi Jingchen lowered his head and placed a comforting kiss on Zhong Jiaqi's forehead. He said softly, "It's okay, you heard it just now, they haven't started checking the account of the resource department yet, everything is still in time."

Zhong Jiaqi nodded her head, looked at Qi Jingchen with emotion: "Jingchen, thank you!"

Qi Jingchen reached out and touched Zhong Jiaqi's hair: "You and I still need to say thank you to Mom? Mom must have been in a hurry last night. You can take care of Mom and go back to the room to rest."

After being reminded by Qi Jingchen, Zhong Jiaqi remembered that she shouldn't have shown such a vulnerable side in front of Zhong's mother. She reached out to wipe the tears off her face, supported Zhong's mother's arm and said, "Mom, you go back first." Take a break, Jingchen and I will take care of this matter, and when you wake up, nothing will happen."

After calming Mother Zhong's emotions, Zhong Jiaqi's head began to hurt, she always felt that this matter was not that simple.

Even if this time, Qi Jingchen made up for the shortfall in the resources department, but someone wanted to target Father Zhong, there would definitely be another time. This feeling of being missed by others is really too bad.

Qi Jingchen took Zhong Jiaqi back to the bedroom: "It's time for you to take a good rest, your complexion is a little bit whiter than white paper."

Zhong Jiaqi lay down on the bed obediently, but her mind was full of thoughts of someone trying to frame Father Zhong, and she didn't feel sleepy at all, for fear that Father Zhong would be killed by someone with intentions one day.

She tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, unable to make herself fall asleep.

Qi Jingchen reached out and touched Zhong Jiaqi's face lightly: "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

Zhong Jiaqi nodded: "Jingchen, can you hug me?"

Qi Jingchen's heart skipped a beat, and he hugged Zhong Jiaqi into his arms from behind.

"Are you thinking about those things that happened in your previous life?"

Zhong Jiaqi nodded her head frankly: "Although I know that it is impossible for Zhu Lin to frame my dad anymore, why is there someone who refuses to let my dad go, who will it be this time? I'm really afraid that at any time, a person will appear from the corner and try to hurt my dad."

Qi Jingchen put his arms around Zhong Jiaqi's shoulders: "This time, I will definitely find out the murderer behind the frame of Dad. Don't worry, he won't have another chance to do it."

Zhong Jiaqi looked into Qi Jingchen's eyes with deep dependence: "Really?"

Looking at Zhong Jiaqi's wet eyes like deer, Qi Jingchen couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed Zhong Jiaqi's eyes lightly.

"Of course it is true. I will definitely do what I promised you."

Zhong Jiaqi, who hadn't been sleepy until now, felt the familiar temperature from Qi Jingchen's body, and fell asleep very quickly.

When Zhong Jiaqi opened her eyes again, the matter of Zhong's father had been settled, and Jiang Qing had already made up for the shortfall before the people above investigated.

It's just that it will take some time to catch the murderer behind the frame of Zhong's father.

Qi Jingchen reached out and straightened Zhong Jiaqi's hair: "Get up first, it's time to get ready for dinner, I'll pick up Dad for dinner, and then we'll have a good discussion about who framed Dad."

Zhong Jiaqi nodded obediently: "Okay, you can go."

After Qi Jingchen entered the Municipal Department of Land and Resources, he found that the office was abnormally quiet, but Qi Jingchen didn't have time to ask these things, so he went straight to the door of Zhong Yanbai's office, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door. few times.

"Please come in!"

When Qi Jingchen walked into the office, Zhong Yanbai was facing a large pile of documents in front of him, and he reached out to rub his temples from time to time, his face was full of exhaustion.

"Dad, I'll take you home for dinner!"

Zhong Yanbai raised his head when he heard Qi Jingchen's voice.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, and the smile on his face looked a bit forced.

"It's Jingchen. You asked someone to make up for the lack of money in the Ministry of Resources, right?"

Qi Jingchen nodded: "Dad, things that can be solved with money are not things. I believe that this money must have nothing to do with you, but things have developed to this point, so I can only do this first. , but I will definitely find out whoever framed you."

"Jingchen, I didn't blame you, but I still want to thank you. Someone came up just now. If you hadn't made up the money, I'm afraid I would have been taken away by now, but what happened this time is true. It was me who was not careful, and someone set it up to make you worry."

"Dad, don't talk about it now. Mom and Jiaqi are very worried about you. They are still waiting for you. Let's go home and have dinner first. Let's discuss this matter in the evening."

"Okay!" Zhong Yanbai's expression looked better now.

He reached out to put away the documents in front of him, carefully locked the drawer, and then left with Qi Jingchen. At special times, he had to be more careful.

As soon as Zhong Yanbai walked into the living room, Zhong's mother immediately greeted him, she tightly held Zhong's father's hand: "Are you okay?"

Looking at his worried wife, Zhong Yanbai said with some guilt: "It's okay, Jingchen handled the matter very well, I'm fine now, as for the person who framed me, we still have time, we can take our time to find them."

Zhong Yanbai supported Zhong's mother's shoulders and brought her to the dining table. After returning home, the smile on Zhong Yanbai's face was finally a little more natural than when he was in the office just now.

"Okay, am I all right now? Why are you still crying? Be happy!"

After finishing speaking, Zhong Yanbai took a piece of beef and put it in Qi Han's bowl.

"Hanhan, eat more!"

Qi Han picked up the chopsticks and complained: "It's not as delicious as Dad's cooking."

Qi Jingchen reached out and tapped Qi Han's forehead lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, Auntie's cooking is also delicious."

Everyone was amused by Qi Han's aggrieved appearance, and the atmosphere at the dinner table finally became less serious.

After dinner, Qi Jingchen and Zhong Jiaqi went to Zhong Yanbai's study together, Zhong Yanbai naturally knew the purpose of Qi Jingchen and Zhong Jiaqi's visit, and he didn't intend to hide it deliberately.

He pushed a document in front of Qi Jingchen and Zhong Jiaqi.

"After thinking about it, the person who will deliberately deal with me is probably only this moment. In the previous project approval, I suspected that he had accepted bribes, so I have been investigating related clues recently, but I didn't expect I just had a clue, and I encountered such a thing, if it is a coincidence, even I don’t want to believe it.”

Qi Jingchen picked up the document and looked at it carefully. The person Zhong Yanbai mentioned was Zhong Yanbai's assistant. You must know that Zhong Yanbai's recent investment is indeed very easy, and the information that Zhong's father found is enough to prove that he accepted it. paid large bribes.

Father Zhong has the evidence of his crime. Whether he wants to shut up Father Zhong or take revenge on Father Zhong, he does have a motive for doing this.

"Dad, you can hand over this document to me. In any case, it will be very disadvantageous for you to submit this document by you. Let me handle this matter!"

Zhong Yanbai looked up at Qi Jingchen, and nodded slightly. He still believed in Qi Jingchen's ability.

Qi Jingchen took the documents and left the study with Zhong Jiaqi.

Such a big incident happened to Zhong's house, so Qi Jingchen took Zhong Jiaqi to live in Zhong's house that night.

Looking at the document in Qi Jingchen's hand, Zhong Jiaqi couldn't help asking, "What are you going to do next?"

"Next, I will naturally investigate this assistant carefully. If he really did something to frame Dad, he will definitely leave evidence. If Dad didn't embezzle that public fund, then someone must have embezzled it. That person It can only be the person who framed Dad."

Zhong Jiaqi grabbed Qi Jingchen's hand: "If that assistant really did this, you must calm down. Anyway, he is also from the Ministry of Land and Resources."

Qi Jingchen stretched out his hand and gently tidied the hair on Zhong Jiaqi's cheeks behind his ears: "Don't worry, the evidence that Dad has of accepting bribes is enough for him to get out of prison. I'm still investigating him now, just want to know how to frame him." Did Dad do this thing after all?"

Only then did Zhong Jiaqi feel relieved, and put her arms around Qi Jingchen's waist.

"I'm relieved when you say that. Is there anything I can do?"

Qi Jingchen stroked Zhong Jiaqi's hair again and again: "The most important thing for you now is to help me handle the cooperation with He's. Don't forget that you are now the consultant of Qi's fashion design department. Now that you have decided In order to participate in this competition, Qi's designers have to show their strength, but don't let people think that Qi's is only good in jewelry design, but poor in clothing design."

"Don't worry, I will leave this matter to me."
