“Madam, you should go back first. If there’s anything, let the lawyer handle it.” The police had clearly rejected Yun Shujing.
“Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me like this…” Yun Shujing was really at her wit’s end and wanted to reveal her identity.
However, the young police officer sneered and replied, “Even if you’re the emperor, we’ll still arrest you for breaking the law, Madam, we hear your threatening words dozens of times a day. Why don’t you change it? If there’s nothing else, please go back. We’re quite busy.”
“Madam, it’s better to tell Old Master. This is a serious matter. It will have a great impact on the Huo Corporation’s reputation. We shouldn’t make our own decisions, lest Old Master settle the score later.” The butler advised Yun Shujing seriously.
She Imew that it was embarrassing, but it was because of that she did not dare to tell Huo Qingxiao. At the very least, she had to find an excuse for Huo Weichen after she knew the truth of the case. Only then would she have the courage to tell Huo Qingxiao.
“But paper can’t hide fire.”
“I don’t care if it can wrap it or not!” Yun Shujing said sternly, “When you get home, don’t mention a word to the Huo family members. I’ll think of a way.” The butler could only nod in agreement.
But what could Yun Shujing do? The ancestral hall had protected her too well in the past. Now that the ancestral hall had been destroyed, she realized that she was actually so weak in certain aspects that she could not get through to her friends early in the morning. So, after thinking about it, she called Huo Shengyuan for help.
They were both at home, but they had to communicate over the phone. Huo Shengyuan realized that things weren’t as simple as he thought. He got up from the bed and went behind Mu Qingya’s back to the bathroom to answer Yun Shujing’s call.
“Mom, why aren’t you sleeping?
“Weichen was arrested and charged with rape. The police even called home. Fortunately, the butler intercepted the call. You’re Weichen’s brother, so I can only place my hopes on you, Shengyuan. Use your connections to understand the case. We don’t know if Huo Jiuxiao is behind this, so I can’t let your brother suffer in vain.”
Huo Shengyuan only felt embarrassed when he heard those words, so he covered the phone even more tightly. He didn’t want Mu Qingya to hear him and the Mu family to know that he had such an embarrassing younger brother.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll get someone to investigate immediately. Don’t alarm the family first.”
“I wouldn’t dare. If word of such a big thing gets out, where will the Huo Corporation’s reputation go?” Yun Shujing was a little overwhelmed. During this period of time, something had happened every day, and she was almost exhausted. It was not easy for her to use the shares to resolve the grudge between Huo Zizhen and Huo Weichen. She did not expect Huo Weichen to be so disappointing.
“Then I’ll hang up first.” After that, Huo Shengyuan called several lawyers in the bathroom because he did not want to alarm the Mu family because of Huo Weichen.
The lavvyer worked overnight and mobilized all the connections around him to find out the details of Huo Weichen’s case. In the end, he could only get a rough idea of the case from the forensic doctor.
“This time, Third Young Master’s trouble is big. He raped the woman and caused her to be seriously injured. Now that the police have a large amount of physical evidence, and the woman has also completed the evidence collection, I’m afraid the matter will be very difficult.” The lawyer said.
“In that case, we can only monitor public opinion. We can’t let this matter leak out.” Huo Shengyuan said. It would be best if they could settle Huo Weichen’s case quietly. Otherwise, it would affect the entire Huo family’s reputation. Who could hold their heads high when a rapist appeared in such a wealthy family?
Huo Shengyuan hated himself for not controlling Huo Weichen’s lower body in the past, which led to today’s situation. He hated Yun Shujing even more. Huo Weichen had clearly made so many mistakes, but she still cleaned up his mess for him as usual.
Huo Shengyuan went downstairs to talk to his mother in the garden.
“I’ve already asked someone to inquire about it. They said that the woman was seriously injured and was arrested by the police on the spot. At present, the police have already obtained a large amount of evidence. It’s almost impossible to get her out.” Huo Chengyuan told Yun Shujing the truth. Mom, you have to make a choice now. Weichen has already affected my reputation in the future.”
Yun Shujing understood this very well.
“How muddle-headed! Muddle!”
“He’s not muddle-headed. It’s easy to change a leopard, but it’s hard to change its spots. Mom, think about it carefully. How much trouble have you cleaned up for him? If Mom had advised him a little back then, maybe things would have turned out differently.”
Yun Shujing had never tried to persuade him. After the incident happened, she would at most scold him a little and then deal with the woman in a hurry. It was also because of her indulgence that Huo Weichen’s attitude towards women had become even worse, resulting in today’s situation.
“Perhaps the only thing we can do now is to beg the woman for a letter of forgiveness. ”
However, was it possible?
At this moment, Yun Shujing thought that the entire Huo family did not know about Huo Weichen’s matter, but in fact, both Huo Jiuxiao and Huo Zizhen had synchronized the news.
Huo Jiuxiao had thought that Fu Lizhen would slowly make her move again.
But perhaps Fu Lizhen had waited too long. She knew that this was not an easy opportunity. Otherwise, once Huo Weichen was sent away by Yun Shujing, her revenge plan would be even more passive. Therefore, the things that had been prepared for Huo Weichen and the traps that had been set up were unfolded one by one.
At this time, after the police had obtained the evidence from the Ginza infirmary, they had already begun to interview the relevant witnesses. Xiao Xin was dragged to the interrogation room because someone in the Ginza knew that Huo Weichen had stayed at her house last night.
“Don’t be nervous. Just tell us what you know truthfully.” The police saw her clenching her fists and quickly comforted her.
“Lizhen and I know each other and we have a good relationship. I haven’t been feeling well these days, so Lizhen bought some things yesterday and came to my house to visit me. But I wasn’t at home yesterday, so I don’t know what happened between Young Master Huo and Lizhen. But they did meet because after I got home, Young Master Huo asked me about Lizhen.”
“I told him that Lizhen is a specially hired doctor in Ginza. I don’t know what happened after that.”
Xiao Xin told the police everything she knew.
“So, according to your understanding, what kind of person is Huo Weichen?”
“I… I dare not say.” Xiao Xin said.
“Don’t worry, we will protect our witness.” The police assured her.
Xiao Xin was still very hesitant. After a long time, she replied, “Young Master Huo is a womanizer. Everyone in the industry knows about it. I can only say this. As for him staying at my place, it’s purely because I don’t want to lose this job. Moreover, he did have a good impression of Lizhen yesterday..”
