Chapter 398: I’ll accompany you after these busy days are over
After Luoyu left, Li Qiao poured a glass of water for Bai Luhui and asked directly, "You came to South Sea to investigate Xiao Yeyan, so how did you end up offending He Chen?"
She had pondered over this question for a long time. Bai Luhui was not an impulsive person; on the contrary, he was much more cautious than Shen Qingye and was definitely not one to act recklessly and cause trouble.
At that moment, Bai Luhui took the cup with his left hand, thanked her, and then explained in a low voice, "It was an accident that he found out. While I was investigating, I unintentionally discovered that He Chen and Xiao Yeyan had very close dealings in the past.
Xiao Yeyan came to South Sea half a year ago, and it just so happened that He Chen left South Sea half a year ago.
An intentional misalignment of timelines—I suspect they were trying to hide something by making it more obvious.
Plus, Xiao Yeyan often goes to underground gambling dens, so I thought I’d go and take a covert look, but..."
He paused and his fingers involuntarily tightened around the glass. "I was discovered by He Chen and he used the excuse of me cheating to have his bodyguards detain me."
Speaking of which, he had indeed underestimated his enemy.
The bodyguards in an underground gambling den turned out to be exceptionally skilled.
When he was attacked, he vividly remembered He Chen saying, "Someone from the Sixth Bureau dares to casually investigate my affairs?"
Listening to Bai Luhui’s explanation, Li Qiao’s gaze turned heavy as she looked out the window.
