The implication was clear—
If Ouyang Hua was indeed hiding drugs, there was a high likelihood he would be incarcerated.
Song Baiyan had only been in office for less than a month, and even though his approval ratings were quite high, he would want to achieve so quick successes to further boost public confidence and support.
Cracking down on pornography and drug abuse seed like a good entry point.
Should the Ouyang Family insist on pulling strings to get soone out, they must prepare for the worst-case scenario. The Ouyang Family had made enemies before, and this was the ti to tread carefully. If they were not prudent, it was very likely that they would beco the target for Song Baiyan to make an example out of. Anyone with a clear mind would know how to choose at such a ti.
That’s why Lai Wenyan decided to wisely protect himself and avoid getting involved in Ouyang Hua’s matters.
Lai Shengxia instinctively clenched her arms.
It was certain that Ouyang Hua had been in contact with drugs, and the urinalysis would be predictable.
If it were just that, he could be out of the Detox Center in a few months, but the fear was if he was found possessing a large quantity of drugs and soone testified against him, he wouldn’t get out in less than three to five years.
Moreover—
Lai Shengxia worried that Ouyang Hua might confess everything.
She had him find soone to inject Tang Li with drugs, a secret only the two of them knew.
If Ouyang Hua did tell the police, Lai Shengxia could fully deny it, but having grown up together, she didn’t want to completely fall out with her grandfather, and—
Ouyang Hua had so integrity; if those thugs really spilled the beans, it was likely he would take the fall for everything.
That was also why Lai Shengxia ca to the Han Family tonight.
At this mont, Qin Yueru appeared at the bedroom door, glanced at Lai Shengxia, then turned to urge Han Jifeng: "Since you’re back, hurry up and take a shower, I’d like to rest early."
—It ant she was subtly driving the guest away.
Lai Shengxia picked up her bag: "I should head back too."
Hearing this, Qin Yueru closed the room door.
For a mont, only two people were left in the living room.
Lai Shengxia held her bag in her right hand, not leaving imdiately, and looked at Han Jifeng again: "About the incident at the state banquet, I haven’t yet apologized to you."
"I didn’t expect Ah Li to suddenly change her mind." Lai Shengxia continued, "I really thought she liked you, had I known she was unwilling, I wouldn’t have carelessly made that match, ending up making both sides uncomfortable."
Han Jifeng was untying his tie, not picking up on her words.
"..." Lai Shengxia walked to the foyer.
Before changing her shoes, she turned her head, her gaze fixed on Han Jifeng’s stern side profile: "If... I an, if Yansheng and I break up, can we go back to the way things were before?"
Han Jifeng’s movent with his tie paused, then he said: "It’s late, you should go back."
After speaking, he intended to return to his room.
Before he could turn around, Lai Shengxia ran back.
She hugged Han Jifeng tightly, her face pressed against his shirt: "Can we start over, please? No Qin Yansheng, no Ah Li, just the two of us, I won’t leave you again this ti."
Han Jifeng raised his hand, but in the mont he touched her shoulder, mories of so dreams ca back to him, and he withdrew his hand back to his side: "Since it’s already in the past, there’s no need to desperately cling to it."
Hearing this, Lai Shengxia burrowed into his shirt.
Han Jifeng pulled her away: "I’ll keep an eye on Ouyang Hua’s matter. As for how things turn out, we’ll get in touch later."
After Lai Shengxia left, Han Jifeng stood in place for a while.
Qin Yueru ca out of the room, sighed and said: "If you really like her, and she’s the only one for you, I won’t refuse."
"We were just classmates, and we will not exceed that relationship in the future."
While speaking, Han Jifeng’s mind conjured up the image of Tang Li’s clear and elegant face.
"The person I want to marry, you’ll approve."
