After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1322 - 1321: Accident
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
"Thank you, Director," Xia Chuyi expressed her gratitude sincerely.
"But it really isn't necessary," Xia Chuyi smiled, shaking her head. "If you are innocent, you will be cleared. Once the relevant authorities announce their conclusion, these matters will naturally cease."
Upon hearing Xia Chuyi's words, the director observed her for a moment. Noticing her resolute demeanor, he conceded, "Very well."
Before long, Xia Chuyi received the movie tickets from the director's grasp.
"Thank you," Xia Chuyi said with a smile.
"What are you thanking me for?" the director inquired. "They are merely a few tickets. They hardly compare to the assistance you have provided me."
Xia Chuyi smiled further. "If you consider this a minor matter, then... Director, perhaps I could ask for another favor?"
At this, the director quickly responded, "What is it? As long as it is within my capabilities, I will certainly assist you!"
Xia Chuyi smiled once more. "Then I thank you in advance."
"Actually, it's nothing major," Xia Chuyi continued. "I simply wish for your help in investigating who has been deliberately instigating these recent rumors and through what channels they have been spreading them..."
"Hm?" Upon hearing her request, the director inquired, "For such an inquiry, wouldn't your family... be better equipped to uncover the truth than I can?"
After all, whether it was the powerful Ou Family or the formidable Huo Family, they were both influential clans!
The director found himself somewhat perplexed.
However, Xia Chuyi simply spread her hands. "It's true, my father and brother will undoubtedly uncover some information, but... they won't share it with me."
"And..." Xia Chuyi paused briefly, her expression becoming serious. "What I need to know is not merely the basic origin of these rumors. I want to understand the trajectory and the extent of their dissemination..."
If her father and older brother were conducting the investigation, they would likely focus on identifying the main instigators and attempting to sever the problem at its root.
Xia Chuyi, on the other hand, aimed to analyze the spread patterns and reach to deduce the ultimate intentions of the mastermind behind it all.
"The path of their spread?" The director, not fully grasping her meaning, asked with a touch of confusion.
"Mm," Xia Chuyi nodded. "The path of their spread... Because this entire situation strikes me as rather intricate, I desire a more comprehensive understanding."
Xia Chuyi's explanation was somewhat veiled.
The reason she did not explicitly state her doubts and suspicions was that her conviction regarding this entire affair was primarily based on intuition.
Yet, it was precisely this intuition that led Xia Chuyi to be exceptionally certain that this entire ordeal was orchestrated specifically against her.
Although Xia Chuyi had not elaborated, and the director lacked knowledge of the underlying circumstances—
After a moment of contemplation, the director stated, "Very well, I shall look into it for you and report the findings back to you."
"Mm, thank you, Director," Xia Chuyi expressed her thanks once again.
Having concluded her conversation with the director, Chuyi prepared to depart.
Due to the discreet nature of the matters she intended to discuss with the director, Xia Chuyi had previously asked her bodyguards to wait elsewhere.
Consequently, the moment she exited the private room, she collided directly with an oncoming individual.
Fortunately, Xia Chuyi's reflexes were sharp, enabling her to narrowly avoid a direct impact.
"Hey, watch where you're going!"
Before Xia Chuyi, who had almost been struck, could utter a word, the other person indignantly raised their voice.
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi's brows immediately knitted together in a deep frown.
As she was not the one at fault, Xia Chuyi naturally felt no inclination to apologize.
However, just as Xia Chuyi was about to retort, the other person shifted slightly to the side, and Xia Chuyi finally caught a clear glimpse of their face...
