Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1079 - Chapter 1079 Chapter 1078 Contempt

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1078: Contempt Chapter 1079: Chapter 1078: Contempt Huo Beijiang took out a watch from his person, “This is the key.” He had searched the scene yesterday and, other than this watch, there had been no other useful evidence.

Yu Fengji couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, cursing inwardly for such shamelessness. This was clearly evidence from the scene, yet this guy had taken it in advance and now had the audacity to flaunt it in front of him.

“Cough cough…” Ying Jiuming, putting on a brave face, said, “Bei Jiang, this is important evidence, you must give it back to us.”

Huo Beijiang raised an eyebrow, “Which eye of yours saw that?” He flat out denied it.

“Are you planning to investigate on your own since you’re not giving it to us and the case needs further dig deeper?”

“No, this case is clearly targeting me.” Huo Beijiang frowned, a complex and dark thought flickered through his eyes. His downcast eyes housed a stormy fierceness, and his presence was enveloping and intimidating.

Yu Fengji and Ying Jiuming exchanged glances, realizing the situation was far more complicated than they had imagined.

“Your safety has been designated a top priority for protection, you can’t take such risks.”

Many were unaware that ever since Huo Dongfeng’s death, the military presence around Huo Beijiang had been upgraded to the highest level. Such confidential matters were only known to high-level military and police officials.

The state security had a detailed list; Huo Beijiang and Wei Qin were both on it. People like them, if anything happened, all involved departments would suffer.

At this point, Yu Fengji was no longer in the mood to argue about the evidence.

“No, I must report this.” He stood up and left hurriedly, feeling anxious to make arrangements. Moreover, an in-depth investigation into Dark Street was necessary, seemingly including arranging an undercover operation.

The two had arrived in haste and left just as quickly. Huo Beijiang casually tossed the watch onto the coffee table, wanting to lean back on the sofa, but winced from pain as soon as he touched it and sat up straight.

Wei Qin really wanted to say “serves you right.”

Huo Beijiang dealt with military personnel all day. His military posture in formal settings was impeccable, but privately it was almost unbearable to watch.

It was baffling how he managed to switch so effortlessly.

“Why hasn’t my wife come to see me yet? I’ve been hospitalized, fallen ill, and yet this heartless little thing…” Huo Beijiang muttered, obviously his morning visits everywhere were because his wife wasn’t around.

Impatient.

Wei Qin looked on with disdain, “Aren’t you worried that someone is out to get you?”

“Worried, very worried!”

“It doesn’t seem like it.” Yu Fengji had been frightened, yet this guy seemed concerned about something else entirely.

“Heh…” Huo Beijiang snorted coldly through his nose, a chilling glint in his eyes, “When the day comes that even your own mother wants to kill you, you won’t find it so urgent either.” He didn’t care if the whole world turned against him.

As long as Nan Fei was safe, he was content.

He didn’t mind people targeting him, but he dreaded his wife getting embroiled in it all. Nan Fei had been angry and wanted to go back last night; he hadn’t slept the whole night. Huo Beijiang felt as though he was sick, and it was getting worse.

Such a wretched man; having married he couldn’t spend all day with his wife, nor could he hold or embrace her when they slept.

“No, I need to go find my wife.” Huo Beijiang suddenly stood up, deciding to check out of the hospital.

“Are you sure?” Wei Qin couldn’t comprehend his urgency. “You’re not yet healed!”

“I won’t die!” When out on missions, he had endured worse injuries. Under tough conditions, hadn’t he always just soldiered on?
