CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Meng Dehai took a sip of tea and said, "We can rest assured now that this project is in your hands."

"Qilin, keep up the good work."

Also at this time.

The waiter brought over a plate of food and placed it on the table.

Gao Qilin smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I will definitely live up to the expectations of our District Chief Meng and Elder Huang."

"Strive to complete the expressway project as soon as possible!"

After speaking, Gao Qilin offered tea to the two men instead of wine...

……

the other side.

The atmosphere here was completely different from the peaceful one on Gao Qilin's side!

At this very moment, in one of Zhao Ruilong's villas in Jingzhou, Handong Province.

Zhao Ruilong's face had turned extremely grim!

Chapter 182 Xiao Ai is unwilling to let Gao Xiaoqin go!

Not that long ago.

Zhao Ruilong had just received a call from Jinghai City.

It was Gao Yuliang who called personally!

Gao Xiaoqin has been taken away for investigation by the capital's investigation team for bribery!

At this moment, Zhao Ruilong sat on the sofa, his face extremely pale.

Xiao Chen, the subordinate standing to the side, kept his head down, looking down at his nose and not daring to even breathe loudly.

Zhao Ruilong silently bit the scab in his mouth, lit a match, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke.

"Gao Xiaoqin."

"I knew this woman couldn't amount to anything; I shouldn't have sent her out in the first place!"

As he spoke, a sharp glint flashed in Zhao Ruilong's eyes.

Xiao Chen, standing to the side, quickly smiled obsequiously: "Young Master Zhao, our Shanshui Group is a large and powerful company, we don't need that little bit of Jinghai City."

"Gao Xiaoqin, that woman... well, you never intended for her to do anything big in the first place."

"She's been out there long enough. Why don't you call her back? It's just a matter of a word, isn't it?"

As Xiao Chen finished speaking, Zhao Ruilong's expression shifted rapidly.

"you're right."

"It really is time to bring Gao Xiaoqin back..."

As he spoke, Zhao Ruilong waved to Xiao Chen: "Go, bring me my phone."

"I'll make a call."

"Gao Xiaoqin...she has to come back eventually."

Done.

The anger on Zhao Ruilong's face finally dissipated.

after all.

If Gao Xiaoqin was his subordinate, then such a big mistake was inexcusable.

He was taken away for investigation by the capital's investigation team.

Zhao Ruilong will surely be furious!

but……

If Gao Xiaoqin was a woman, or a lover, to him...

It's no big deal if something like this happens.

Soon, Zhao Ruilong dialed a number.

……

now.

Jinghai City.

After finishing his social engagements with Huang Yanjun and Meng Dehai, Gao Qilin quickly returned to the Gao family home.

As soon as the door opened, Meng Yu was sitting downstairs watching TV. Although her face was expressionless, it was easy to tell that she was in a good mood.

Gao Qilin walked over with a smile: "Our reporter Meng is in a good mood."

Meng Yu turned around, a smile quickly spreading across her face, her big eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Qilin, you're back!"

As she spoke, Meng Yu pressed Gao Qilin down onto the sofa: "Of course I'm happy! President Chen's matter can be published in the newspaper. Our Jinghai Daily is the first one to do so, and it's even the group I led."

After saying that, Meng Yu gently pressed her soft, boneless hands on Gao Qilin's shoulders: "Of course, we also have to thank our boss, Mr. Gao!"

Gao Qilin smiled and reached out to squeeze Meng Yu's small hand that was rubbing his shoulder: "Alright, you still have to work hard yourself. I'm just providing you with a clue."

"Besides, without the help of your informants, we wouldn't have been able to arrest President Chen so easily."

Meng Yu received Gao Qilin's praise, and a smug smile immediately appeared on her face.

And right now.

The back door of the villa leading to the courtyard was opened, and Chengcheng led Gao Yue in.

Meng Yu looked over with a smile: "Xiao Yue, are you going to play with your sister?"

Gao Yue, her voice muffled, hugged Chengcheng's belly and said, "I want a little sister too, but I also want a little brother."

"If Aunt Chengcheng has two babies, a little girl and a little boy would be great!"

As Gao Yue's babyish voice faded away.

The adults present immediately exchanged smiles.

Chengcheng has already had a pregnancy test, and although they don't know the gender yet, it's clear there's only one.

At that moment, Meng Yu smiled and waved to Gao Yue.

"Xiaoyue, if Aunt Chengcheng gives you a little brother, then Aunt Xiaoyu will give you a little sister, okay?"

Gao Yue immediately laughed and jumped into Meng Yu's arms: "Okay!"

"Auntie Xiaoyu, when are you going to have your baby?"

Gao Yue's innocent remark immediately made all the adults present laugh again...

……

at the same time.

This was quite different from the joyful atmosphere at the Gao family's home.

At this very moment, inside the Municipal Bureau.

In the interrogation room.

Gao Xiaoqin wore exquisite makeup and a light pink cheongsam that accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Wherever she goes, Gao Xiaoqin is always the center of attention.

But at this moment.

Gao Xiaoqin's hands were cuffed to the interrogation chair, and she looked somewhat disheveled.

Li Xiang and An Xin, who were opposite them, had no interest in appreciating Gao Xiaoqin.

An Xin simply said coldly, "Give me an explanation."

"The entire process of how you bribed President Chen."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin revealed a seductive smile and lazily said, "Officer An, those words are rather harsh."

"President Chen and I are just ordinary friends. Isn't it normal for friends to exchange gifts?"

Li Xiang slammed his hand on the table: "Gao Xiaoqin, you better be serious!"

"This is the Municipal Public Security Bureau, not your business premises. Trying to argue like this won't work!"

An Xin added, "What kind of friend would give five million in cash as a gift?"

"Gao Xiaoqin, look up! Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!"

Gao Xiaoqin showed no sign of panic; her gaze was calm, and she even had a faint smile on her face.

What's there to panic about?

Behind him are at least Gao Yuliang, the vice governor of Jinghai City, and Qi Tongwei, the mayor.
