After the husband and wife left, only a few people were left in the room.
Zong Che and the lawyer automatically lowered their presence.
"I need the gentleman's help with something."
She looked at Huo Busi, without beating around the bush.
This favor was owed no matter what, so whether to use it or not was the same.
She didn't doubt Zong Che's abilities, but Huo Busi would be more useful here.
"Madam is too kind, please go ahead."
Huo Busi's face always maintained a plain smile, but it was this look that gave people a chilling sense of unease.
"I want to take these things to be tested."
She gestured for Zong Che to bring over the foreign man's clothes and hair, then went to find scissors herself and cut off a few strands of her own hair.
If her head hadn't hurt so badly this time, she might not have withstood the effects of the drug and directly fulfilled Xin Ziqing's wish.
"No problem, the results will be out tomorrow."
Huo Busi agreed readily, signaling for his bodyguard to collect the items.
Rong Dai turned her head, her eyes icy as she glanced at the hotel across: "I'll have to trouble the gentleman once more, the guest information for the room directly across from mine in that hotel."
"I need all of it. This favor is one I owe Mr. Huo Busi."
She looked at Huo Busi, thinking of Xin Ziqing, her gaze was chillingly sinister.
Huo Busi's smile remained gentle as ever, looking at her with slight surprise in his eyes.
The last person who could speak to him in such a tone was from many years ago.
"No problem."
He nodded in agreement, and stood up leaning on his cane.
"It's late, my car is at the hotel entrance. If Madam doesn't mind, I have some fine wines in my collection, please feel free to sample them."
Huo Busi extended an invitation.
Rong Dai did not decline: "I will come shortly, please go ahead sir."
A man as crafty as Huo Busi simply smiled and nodded before leaving with his men.
Once he left, the invisible aura in the room dissipated.
Only then did Zong Che have a chance to ask the lawyer about Huo Busi's background.
The lawyer looked at him with eyes full of awe: "Zong, with Mr. Huo Busi's involvement, I'm of little use now."
"Mr. Huo Busi is France's wealthiest tycoon, with connections in both legitimate business and the underworld. His power is tremendous, ordinary people can't get access to him."
The lawyer explained, his gaze towards Rong Dai also becoming more reverent.
Rong Dai already expected this, she wasn't very surprised by the result, simply instructing Zong Che to handle some matters.
"The news must already be uncontainable domestically by now, contact Nian Zhi jiejie."
"Tell her not to take any measures for now, let them sensationalize it."
"Also have her pay special attention to which media outlets were the first to release such news, and trace it back to the source."
"I know who the opponent is, but right now we need evidence."
In her past life, she had been foolish enough to think the Emperor would trust her.
Even knowing it was Xin Ziqing's doing, she didn't think to look for evidence.
Instead, she pleaded her case passionately, and the outcome was imaginable.
Zong Che nodded. Rong Dai thought deeply for a moment, then asked the lawyer: "If in Paris, what would be the best way to detain someone?"
Upon hearing her ask this, a look of horror immediately showed in the lawyer's eyes. He glanced unbelievingly at Zong Che.
"Don't worry sir, I only wish to understand your country's laws, so as not to make mistakes."
Although suspicious, the lawyer didn't dare to slight her since she was Huo Busi's honored guest. He carefully listed out some methods.
