Romina did not follow immediately.

She stood quietly in place, her beautiful eyes darting around, and finally gave Cao Kun a deep look.

As an observer who remained completely uninvolved throughout the entire process, coupled with her special destiny as a "born noblewoman," her intuition was far more acute than that of ordinary people.

Although for a moment she felt that Cao Kun's words made a lot of sense.

But as she came to her senses, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

That feeling was very subtle.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Just as she was wondering, she suddenly heard Cao Kun's slightly mocking voice.

"Miss Luo, please don't look at me so affectionately. Even though I'm handsome, I can still get shy."

Cao Kun looked at her with a smile, his eyes still unrestrained, as if he were admiring a perfect work of art.

"snort."

Romina gave a soft snort and coldly withdrew her gaze.

She ignored the pointless flirting and turned to leave with her long, beautiful legs.

All that remained for Cao Kun was a cold and aloof silhouette.

When He Yinan and Luo Mina left, the four Beijing police officers responsible for escorting them were dumbfounded.

They looked at each other, unsure whether to leave or stay.

Now that the person in charge has run away, they're holding that document like it's just a few pieces of waste paper.

Cao Kun was too lazy to argue with them, so he waved his hand casually, as if shooing away flies.

"Alright, the main characters are all gone, what are you guys still doing here? Expecting me to feed you?"

The group felt as if they had been granted a pardon, packed up their documents, and slunk away from the office hall.

Once all the irrelevant people were cleared out, the atmosphere in the hall became subtle.

Yu Zhiqing stared directly at Director Wang, who looked embarrassed.

"Chief, this matter has completely escalated today."

She pointed outside the door, her tone serious.

"You'd better not even consider secretly letting He Yichen go."

Otherwise, public opinion might become uncontrollable.

When the higher-ups blame them, the He family can shift the responsibility.

But our municipal bureau can't afford to take the blame for this.

Director Wang stood there, his face alternating between pale and flushed.

His actions today can be described as losing both his wife and his army.

He wanted to curry favor with the powerful figures in the capital, but his attempt to flatter them backfired.

Not only did they not gain any favor, they also got themselves into a lot of trouble.

Now the person he wanted to curry favor with had run away, while the surrounding junior officers were looking at him with undisguised contempt.

That feeling of being constantly on edge made him wish he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

In order to save face, he had no choice but to accept Yu Zhiqing's suggestion.

Director Wang coughed heavily twice, straightened his back again, and struck a righteous and awe-inspiring pose.

"Ahem! Zhiqing is right!"

He kept a straight face, as if the person who had just been groveling was not him at all.

"I've thought about it carefully just now, and no matter how much pressure we're under, we must stick to our principles."

Until He Yichen's case is thoroughly investigated, we must keep him in Changteng!

……

Niccolo Hotel, Presidential Suite.

He Yinan slumped onto the luxurious leather sofa.

His left cheek was swollen high and turned a horrifying purplish-red color, making his once handsome features look particularly ferocious and comical.

"Ouch—be gentle! Are you trying to kill me with pain?!"

One of his men was nervously applying an ice pack to his face.

With a slight tremor in his hand, He Yinan winced in pain and kicked the man.

The subordinate instantly turned into a rolling gourd, rolling twice on the ground.

Then she ran back with a fawning expression and continued to apply the face mask to his face.

Just then, the cell phone on the table rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, He Yinan's eyelids twitched, and she answered the phone despite the pain.

"dad……"

"You piece of trash! You idiot!"

On the other end of the phone, the voice of the He family patriarch was icy cold, clearly filled with rage.

"I asked you to get your brother out of trouble, but you couldn't even handle such a small matter and instead caused such a big mess!"

The online outcry is outrageous, and now your family has to clean up your mess!

"what?"

He Yinan was completely stunned, his eyes filled with confusion.

He had no idea what was happening outside.

He Yinan opened his mouth, about to explain, but the movement aggravated the wound on his face, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Go check it out online yourself!"

A furious roar of disappointment came from the other end of the phone.

Ignoring the excruciating pain on his face, He Yinan hurriedly opened his laptop and clicked on the trending news.

Upon closer inspection, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

A deluge of trending search terms came into view.

[A powerful family in Beijing abuses its power, turning Changteng into a lawless zone!]

[Arrogant and domineering! The wicked vine is actually connected to a powerful family in the capital!]

It's difficult for children from poor families to achieve success, while the wealthy can control everything!

The more He Yinan looked, the colder his heart became, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Father He said coldly:

"I have already asked people to use their connections to try to mitigate the impact."

"You'd better keep quiet for a while and stop embarrassing yourself in public."

"As for Yichen, he can't be brought back for the time being."

"The situation is too tense, and the family's interests are paramount, so it's best to let him reflect on his actions inside and suffer a bit."

"Beep beep beep..."

The phone hangs up.

He Yinan gritted his teeth in anger as he listened to the busy tone on the phone.

"Grass!"

In a fit of impotent rage, he slammed his phone onto the carpet with a dull thud.

After treating his wounds, He Yinan slumped onto the sofa, feeling a tightness in his chest, yet with nowhere to vent it.

He instinctively covered half of his face, his brows furrowed, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Given his past vindictive nature, he should have been furious after suffering such a great loss today.

Let alone being beaten up, even if someone dared to look at him twice, he would get a beating.

But now, something strange is happening.

Although I felt incredibly frustrated, like I had swallowed a dead fly.

He simply couldn't bring himself to seek revenge.

He even thought that Cao Kun had a reason to hit him.

"This is absolutely unbelievable..."

He Yinan shook his head, trying to shake off this absurd idea, but found that he couldn't do it at all.

This nameless rage made him desperately need to find an outlet.

He Yinan got up, straightened his disheveled clothes, and strode out of the room with a gloomy face.

He arrived at Romina's suite, pushed open the door, and immediately froze on the spot.

Romina had already changed her clothes.

The light-colored sleeveless dress had simple lines, yet it outlined her figure perfectly.

The silk, as smooth as flowing water, clung to her delicate body, outlining a graceful, undulating S-shaped curve.

Beneath her slender swan neck, her delicate collarbones were faintly visible, and her two arms were as white as snow, her skin gleaming with a delicate luster under the light.

At the slit in her skirt, her exquisitely beautiful legs were casually crossed.

She was barefoot, her exquisite, flawless feet treading barefoot on the dark wool carpet.

The arches of the feet are elegant and taut, the ten toes are round and cute with a faint pink hue, and the ankles are so slender that they seem to be able to be held in one hand.

It was a beauty that was so noble it was breathtaking, yet subtly exuded an ultimate allure.
