C16 The Truth of the Court-martial

Mrs. Ho walked into the kitchen and dismissed the servants.

Ever since Qin Tine entered, Mrs. Ho had never stopped observing her. Now that she saw that she was not surprised by her actions, she felt a little more certain about her. To her, the power behind her daughter-in-law had nothing to do with her. She only cared about whether her daughter-in-law could give her son happiness or not.

"How long have you known the waiter?"

Qin Tine almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard Ho Liuyang's nickname.

Mrs. Ho seemed to know what she was smiling about and did not mind. She explained, "Liuyang's family is the second in line. We are used to calling him the waiter, but when we grow up, this name is not often called."

Qin Tine said, "Yes, he definitely would not want to." Such a narcissistic man.

Mrs. Ho smiled and looked at her and said, "You know the waiter quite well. You guys have known each other for a period of time, right?"

Qin Tine hesitated for a moment but still decided to tell the truth, "Actually, we have known each other for less than ten days. This is the fourth day of being together."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ho's eyes did not hide her surprise, "Did the waiter do something to you?" Her own son knew very well that outside, he definitely looked like an obedient child but his heart was full of bad ideas.

Qin Tine smiled. Although Ho Liuyang was indeed not serious, Qin Tine did not intend to slander him. She shook her head and said, "No, I did it voluntarily."

Mrs. Ho looked at Qin Tine's slightly red face and felt slightly relieved in her heart. She seemed to be a girl with a clean background. After this was guaranteed, Mrs. Ho did not mind that her son liked any woman.

After that, Mrs. Ho started to talk about Ho Liuyang with Qin Tine and Qin Tine helped to cook. The atmosphere between the two was very harmonious.

The atmosphere outside the kitchen was not so good.

Ho Jinlong kept a straight face and Ho Zhaoyang looked at Ho Liuyang. Ho Liuyang smiled and then waved at his niece behind him. His niece looked at Ho Jinlong timidly. His grandfather looked like he was going to get angry.

"Little Yao, come to uncle."

Ho Yao secretly glanced at Ho Jinlong again. Ho Liuyang looked at Ho Jinlong. Ho Jinlong coughed and said, "Xiao Yao, come to grandpa."

Ho Yao was in a dilemma. Her two big eyes blinked between the two of them.

Ho Zhaoyang picked Little Yao up and sat beside him. He said coldly, "Don't make things difficult for the child."

Ho Liuyang put his leg on the table and leaned back. He was leisurely and indolent. "It's Governor Ho who is insensible. I am not."

"It is not proper. Put your leg down!"

Ho Liuyang smiled and moved his leg, but he did not do it.

"Waiter, tell me about her situation." Ho Zhaoyang frowned slightly and said.

Ho Liuyang still listened to his big brother's words. He put away his playful thoughts and said with a serious expression, "Let's go somewhere else."

Ho Jinlong frowned slightly. Ho Zhaoyang patted Little Yao on the head, and Little Yao obediently went upstairs to her room. The three of them entered the study room one after the other.

"You're saying that she offended the Gao family?"

Ho Liuyang said, "To be precise, the Gao family is looking for trouble with her."

"Nonsense! You know it's like this, but you still want to marry her! Do you think our conflict with Gao Shize's faction is not deep enough? " Ho Jinlong scolded. Initially, he thought that this woman had something to do with the Gao family, but he didn't expect her to have a conflict with the Gao family. Marrying a woman like this would not only bring no benefits, it would also bring harm to the Ho family's interests.

Ho Liuyang said, "Governor Ho, you are wrong. If I marry her, it will only benefit me."

Ho Zhaoyang frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Ho Liuyang said, "Do you remember the drug smuggling case in Myanmar three months ago?"

Ho Zhaoyang nodded and said, "According to internal information, this matter is related to Gao family."

"That's right, but unfortunately, the soldiers sent to escort these criminals all died because of an 'accident', which means that all clues have been cut off now. This matter has become a dead man with no witnesses."

Not allowing Ho Liuyang to dawdle, Governor Ho impatiently said, "Don't keep us guessing. Explain it to me clearly!" He really did not know where he had become after so many years of being a soldier. His words did not give people a pleasant feeling at all, and it made people feel uncomfortable!

Ho Liuyang smiled and said seriously, "The military sent a total of ten soldiers to escort the prisoners. Including the prisoners, there are thirteen people. I have checked these ten people and their skills are not bad. They are more than enough to escort these three people. However, just as they left the boundary of the capital, they encountered a mudslide disaster on the mountain road. All ten soldiers were buried, but only one prisoner died."

Ho Zhaoyang frowned. Although he was the secretary of the Development and Reform Committee, he only knew a little about the inside story. Now that he heard Ho Liuyang say it, he realized there were many loopholes.

Governor Ho's term of office was over, and he was transferred back to the capital from Min Province. Although the official document for his appointment had yet to be issued, he would definitely be transferred directly to the central government. This way, the He Department and the other departments in the capital would directly face each other. At this moment, any information regarding the opponent, regardless of whether it was true or not, would be revealed. Ho Jinlong did not want to miss it.

"What about the other two prisoners?"

Ho Liuyang said, "There is no trace of them, as if they have vanished into thin air."

Ho Zhaoyang turned to look at Ho Liuyang and asked, "What does this have to do with her?"

Ho Jinlong also calmed down and waited for Ho Liuyang to continue.

Ho Liuyang said, "Qin Tine is the military doctor in charge of checking the injuries of these ten soldiers. Gao Lan from Gao family also went with her."

"What? Qin Tine is the forensic doctor who escaped death? " Ho Jinlong was shocked. No wonder the name Qin Tine sounded familiar when he heard it.

Ho Liuyang said, "Yes. Gao Lan and Qin Tine met with a landslide during their mission. Gao Lan's rescue was ineffective while Qin Tine was injured and saved. After the incident, the law went to check, thinking that there was an accident during the process of carrying out the mission. The reason Qin Tine was able to escape death was because she pushed Gao Lan forward. Using Gao Lan's death in exchange for his life. But... these are the reports." If he had not read Qin Tine's file, he would not have transferred the report.

" What are you suspecting? " Ho Jinlong stared at his youngest son like an eagle. "If she didn't really do that, why would Gao family target her?"

Ho Liuyang clapped his hands and said, "It seems that Governor Ho has been in a high position for a long time. He and Gao Shize are getting closer to each other."

"Bastard! Did you call Governor Ho that?!" Ho Jinlong wished he could slap Ho Liuyang to death. Other families were worried that their children would not become talented, but he was worried that their children would become too talented.

Looking at Ho Liuyang like this, even he, the father, felt a headache coming on. Governor Ho felt quite fortunate that he let Ho Liuyang go back then and let him live. Otherwise, the weather would definitely hurt his liver.

Ho Zhaoyang's heart was clear, but he had to first confirm one thing, "Can she be trusted?" The premise of this deduction could be overturned was that Qin Tine was a person with a trustworthy character.

"Definitely not a problem."

Ho Jinlong stood up. His voice was low and solemn, but there was a trace of joy in it, "This means that Qin Tine must have the evidence against the Gao family, which is why the Gao family wanted to kill her."
