Qu Mingyi then analyzed Chi Yang’s statement. “We didn’t know many people in that banquet we attended. We knew even less in the state meeting in the afternoon.

Qu Mingyi frowned.
“The department leader knows that we cannot rule out the possibility of the lower-ranks knowing about this. This is what makes the matter so difficult to investigate.”
Qu Mingyi took a deep breath. He was very quickly getting pissed off at Zhong Kuijun.
“I don’t know how such a person could give birth to such an excellent daughter like Nuannuan.
