CHAPTER 760: CHAPTER 760: CHANG LUHUI’S SUSPICION

When they got to the vehicle and were about to board, Xia Chuyi did a headcount and realized they were missing one person.

"Big Brother..." Just as Xia Chuyi began to ask Ou Jun,

"It’s one of my men." Ou Jun nodded and admitted proactively, "There were a lot of people in the house, so I sent him out for a bit."

Ou Jun offered this "explanation" for his subordinate.

"Oh." However, Chuyi and the others did not suspect anything, believing Ou Jun, and said, "Let’s go look for him."

Ou Jun nodded and replied, "Alright."

Before everyone had a chance to start searching, the subordinate had already returned.

"Sorry about that, I just took a little walk around the village," the subordinate immediately apologized upon his return.

Chuyi smiled and said, "It’s nothing, let’s all go."

The group then left Heshan Village.

On the road, Ou Jun suddenly asked Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, now that your ’mother’ has been discharged from the hospital, when do you plan to return to the Capital City?"

Upon hearing this, Chuyi thought for a moment and answered, "In the next few days, I suppose."

After all, her return was simply to assist with Mother Xia’s hospitalization, and now that Mother Xia was discharged, it was time for her to go back to the Capital City.

Moreover, with the long journey ahead, by the time she got back to the Capital City, it would be nearly time to start school again.

"What about you, Big Brother?" Chuyi inquired of Ou Jun.

Ou Jun answered without hesitation, "I’m probably going to stay a little longer."

"Oh," Xia Chuyi nodded and did not ask further questions.

Upon arriving in Ling County, Ou Jun and Chang Luhui both insisted on escorting Xia Chuyi home first before heading to the guesthouse.

On the way to the guesthouse, Chang Luhui suddenly said, "Vice Captain Ou, what exactly brought you here this time?"

"I don’t mean to pry for secrets, I just want to know if there’s anything I can help with!" Chang Luhui added.

As Chang Luhui asked his questions, he kept a stealthy watch on Ou Jun.

He could see that Ou Jun looked somewhat exhausted—after all, traveling the long distance from Beijing to the countryside would naturally wear anyone out.

This was precisely what Chang Luhui couldn’t comprehend.

Why would Vice Captain Ou, so worn by travel and fatigue, insist on escorting Xia Chuyi home?

When Vice Captain Ou had earlier responded to Xia Chu’s remark by saying "I’ve only just arrived today," that wasn’t entirely accurate; he had literally just arrived at that moment.

Xia Chuyi, who was aware of the details, might let it go.

But he knew.

Therefore, his suspicions about Ou Jun only deepened.

"Thank you, Director Chang," Ou Jun spoke, "If I need anything, I will come to Director Chang."

This meant Ou Jun did not intend to divulge the purpose of his visit to Chang Luhui.

"Of course, of course," Chang Luhui nodded, realizing it wasn’t his place to ask further questions.

After ensuring that Ou Jun was settled into the guesthouse, Chang Luhui took his leave.

As he departed, Chang Luhui gave the guesthouse several glances back.

He still felt there was something off about this man!

So, Chang Luhui quickly returned to the Police Station and dialed a number to the Southwest.

"Hello, Huo Tuan?" As soon as the call was connected to Huo Shiqian, Chang Luhui immediately spoke, "Huo Tu, there’s something I’d like to consult you about!"

Chang Luhui spoke loudly on his end, "That Ou Jun, Vice Captain Ou, what exactly is he here in Ling County for?"

"What do you need to know that for?" Huo Shiqian’s deep voice resonated from the other end, "Your job is to cooperate with his work."

"Nothing, it’s nothing..." Hearing his superior’s words, Chang Luhui hesitated slightly before cautiously continuing, "I just suspect, Vice Captain Ou, that he... he might have feelings for Comrade Chuyi."

Huo Shiqian: ...
