Chapter 2163 - 267: Feint East, Strike West

And Jin Bo, upon reaching downstairs, looked at Huo Jinnan, "Come over, let’s talk."

Huo Jinnan raised his eyes, glanced at Jin Bo, then lowered his gaze to Xiaoliao and Xiaoqi, "You two play by yourselves, Daddy and Uncle are going to have a chat."

Xiaoqi waved at Huo Jinnan, "Daddy, see you."

Xiaoliao, "Okay."

Huo Jinnan followed Jin Bo, and they both went out the door to the courtyard.

Jin Bo walked toward the pavilion.

Huo Jinnan watched him sit down, walked over, and sat next to him.

Seeing Jin Bo start to light a cigarette, he spoke in a low, magnetic voice, "Don’t let me inhale second-hand smoke."

Jin Bo, "..."

His action of lighting the lighter stalled.

Seems like he really hasn’t seen the second brother smoking anymore. Has he really quit?

He put away the cigarette ash, placed it in his coat pocket, "Why didn’t you mention Fang Zheng’s issue to me?"

Huo Jinnan, "My people are investigating."

Jin Bo held the lighter and looked at it for some time.

"You also think he has issues?"

Huo Jinnan, "Too coincidental, though there’s no clue of suspicion elsewhere for him currently."

Jin Bo remained silent for a while.

Huo Jinnan, "How did he come to follow you back then?"

Jin Bo slowly spoke, "When he wanted to come here, Zhou Chuan asked me to choose for myself, I picked him out from a group, so I never doubted him."

Huo Jinnan listened but didn’t speak further, so it wasn’t arranged by Zhou Chuan.

Presumably, back then, Zhou Chuan had no intention of eliminating the Boss.

Or maybe, at that time, Zhou Chuan thought the Boss would inevitably die a violent death.

Jin Bo noticed Huo Jinnan’s silence, "Don’t alarm him for now, observe for a few days first."

Huo Jinnan, "That’s also what I mean, so I haven’t intended to tell you; currently, I’m just having someone look into him."

Jin Bo, "Alright, then I won’t investigate, let’s talk when we have results."

Huo Jinnan looked at Jin Bo, "Besides Fang Zheng, is there anyone else suspicious around you?"

Jin Bo, "Only a few have access to key points, no issues seen currently."

Huo Jinnan, "Alright."

The conversation finished, they went back to the living room.

Xiaoqi squatted nearby watching Xiaoliao build blocks.

Xiaoliao built the blocks into the shape of a warplane.

Jin Bo glanced, "Good boy, like this stuff?"

Xiaoliao looked up at Jin Bo, "Yes."

Jin Bo looked at Huo Jinnan, "You could teach your son in the future."

Huo Jinnan looked at Xiaoliao, "We’ll see about that, let him be."

...

Monday, arrived at the office.

Jin Bo hadn’t worked for long when people from the Public Security Bureau came over.

He put down the work at hand and looked at Fang Zheng, "You watch over here, I’ll cooperate with the police investigation in the adjacent meeting room."

Fang Zheng, "Okay, Mayor Jin."

Jin Bo stood up and walked out with his long legs, taking the police to the adjacent meeting room.

Qin Shaojin didn’t come over, so Bi Ziyin accompanied Jin Bo.

Because of the coffee bag found in Huo Bei’s room, the whole case became complicated, and the police began to suspect Yan Xiaoxi.

Previously, there was contact between Zhou Xiaotong and Lu Yi, leading some officers to suspect Lu Yi killed Zhou Xiaotong, using Yan Xiaoxi’s hand, framing Jin Bo.

Alongside a wave of police coming here, another wave had already called Yan Xiaoxi for a statement, while another had directly arrested Lu Yi, taking him to the police station for interrogation.

One of the officers responsible for coming to Jin Bo received a call, then looked at Jin Bo, "Mayor Jin, may I ask if Miss Yan Xiaoxi knew Zhou Xiaotong before?"
