Prosecutor vs. Minister: A Battle of Wits-Chapter 172 - 170 Opening Remarks

The more Qin Haoyu thought about this issue, the more he felt baffled.

To the extent that the cigarette butt burned his hand, and he shivered in shock.

"How could this happen..."

After thinking back and forth, he truly believed there was no flaw in his actions.

"Look, what do you think, how do I compare to the person in the center of the hall?"

Qin Haoyu touched his face and casually pulled a person over from next door.

The person looked at him bewilderedly and then glanced down at Bao Nan.

These two people radiated such extraordinary presence, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

"Ah, um... the two of you are evenly matched..."

Actually, in terms of looks, Bao Nan indeed had the upper hand, but he dared not say it.

Because everyone at this banquet was either rich or powerful, what if he said the wrong thing and offended some big shot?

Upon hearing this, Qin Haoyu furrowed his brow once more and continued his soul searching, "Then why doesn’t that girl beside him like me?"

Bystander: "..."

Ah this... he’s just an insignificant passerby; how could he possibly know why.

"Perhaps she thinks you’re too handsome, and she feels unworthy, so she chose someone less good-looking than you."

The bystander swallowed hard, weighing his options, thinking Bao Nan and Jiang Tong downstairs probably couldn’t hear how he was insulting them here...

Upon hearing this, Qin Haoyu suddenly lifted his head confidently, "Oh, I understand. So, according to what you said, I must still have a chance, right?"

Bystander: "..."

...

On the fifth floor rooftop.

Shen Anru was tricked up here by Qin Meiru. She frowned, looking around at the surroundings.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands wrapped around her waist, startling her to tremble all over.

"Baby... I’ve been waiting for you a long time..."

A familiar voice came from behind, and Shen Anru struggled fiercely.

"Idiot! It’s me! You’ve got the wrong person!"

Upon hearing her voice, the person behind her froze for a moment, revealing his sinister face in the light.

"Why is it you?"

Li Zi paused, confirming he was indeed hugging Shen Anru earlier, then released her.

He would have been better off saying nothing, as speaking angered Shen Anru.

Her eyes widened, "Didn’t you go to find Jiang Tong? Why are you here? Where’s Jiang Tong?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zi also widened his eyes in surprise, "Wasn’t it you who sent a note telling me you’d wait here for me? And saying you’ve tricked Jiang Tong up here. I should be the one asking you this question."

Sending a note?

When did she ever send him a note? She was clearly with Qin Meiru the entire time.

Hold on... Qin Meiru...

Something flashed through Shen Anru’s mind, and she hurriedly rushed to the door.

Who knew the rooftop door had already been locked, entirely impossible to open.

They had fallen into a trap...

Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Shen Anru and Li Zi’s conversation was being broadcast.

The screen clearly played every word they had just spoken.

Everyone in the hall paused, staring at the screen.

Jiang Huai Bei tightened his grip on the cup in his hand, his face full of anger.

While Jiang Tong held Bao Nan, frowning at the diagonally opposite screen.

Without a doubt.

She didn’t know about this, but someone was helping her.

That person’s purpose was also very clear, to ruin Shen Anru’s reputation.

Could it be... Aunt Shi Miao?
