Mr. Liu's attitude is one of assuming guilt in cases of suspicion.
Since Xia Chuyi had contact with a spy, she, therefore, is suspect.
And considering Xia Chuyi's unique status, it's necessary to impose sanctions.
At this moment, Huo Shiqian suddenly let out a cold laugh.
Then he pulled Xia Chuyi, who had already successfully defended herself but was still being stubbornly linked to spy suspicions by Mr. Liu, to stand behind him.
He gently patted her with his hand, indicating for her to leave the matter to him.
Xia Chuyi understood his meaning, nodded slightly, and stepped back behind him.
Huo Shiqian stepped forward and retrieved another document, a thick file, raised it in his hand, and said to Mr. Liu, "Mr. Liu..."
"You say that having contact with a spy invariably implies suspicion, correct?" Huo Shiqian asked calmly.
"Yes, so what?" Mr. Liu responded.
