Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qian Shu and Li Lang were brought back from the hospital by the police.
They were forcibly brought back.
The incident of malicious a.s.sault was caused by attempted rape. If the investigation went through, then it would not be malicious a.s.sault but self-defense; furthermore, Lu Ning was not only going to sue them for this, but also for suspected fraud.
When the two of them were brought back, they kept struggling and trying to escape, but how could they escape? Now, the situation had been completely reversed. The original plaintiffs who called for the police were now suspects.
The two of them were brought back to the police station for further interrogation.
As soon as Li Lang and Qian Shu were separated, he instantly lost his backbone. At first, under the police’s questioning, he stammered and gave the account which he had prepared beforehand with Qian Shu. However, under the police’s oppressive presence and his own panic, it did not take long for him to tell the truth.
As he cried, he spilled everything.
On the other hand, Qian Shu had better mental fort.i.tude. She refused to change her account no matter what and said that she did not extort her. If she could not make sense of it, she would start crying in the interrogation room.
The police were indifferent to her antics; they watched her shout and wail as they waited for her to finish before they continued with their questioning.
Gu Cheng took the time to go back for a meal, and also picked a fight with Gu
Chen.
“It’s fine if you hid me, but why didn’t you tell me anything! You didn’t tell me that she was injured, and you didn’t tell me that she had a dangerous person like Huo Jinyan by her side! Eighth Brother! You’re heartless!”
Gu Chen easily subdued him with a few moves and listened to him yell and curse.
In the end, he did not explain anything and just dragged him into the house for lunch.
As Gu Cheng ate, he did not forget to glare at Gu Chen and roll his eyes at him.
Li Nian sat at the side and looked at Gu Cheng. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is Ningning alright? Can she be released?”
Gu Cheng suddenly slammed the bowl. “F*ck! I’ve never had so many people doubt me in so many years!”
He was already unhappy, and his outburst shocked Li Nian.
Gu Chen hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, he’s not upset at you.”
Then, he looked at Gu Cheng. “Hold your temper!’
Gu Cheng cursed and muttered something, but he did not make a sound.
Li Nian did not mind. She only wanted to know how Lu Ning was doing.
Gu Cheng did not wait for her to ask and started talking.
“They should have brought him back to the station. Now, we just have to say that Ningnings actions were self-defense. Extortion and attempted rape are more than enough to make him suffer.”
After he finished speaking, Li Nian’s expression suddenly changed and she stood up abruptly. Her entire body was trembling. “What, what rape?”
Gu Cheng looked up at her. “He didn’t tell you?”
He was pointing at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen glared at him.
Gu Cheng felt much better now.
Li Nian could not calm down.
“What did he do to Ningning!?”
“How could he do anything? He’s not Ningnings match either.”
Gu Cheng muttered as he ate, “What a shame, pity that there’s no concrete evidence. Otherwise, this crime would be enough for him to put him behind bars for a few years.”
Li Nian looked at Gu Cheng with reddened eyes. She clenched her fists and could not stop trembling.
Gu Chen could tell that something was wrong. He stood up and supported her. “What’s wrong?”
Li Nian did not look at him; she only looked at Gu Cheng. After a long silence, she said hoa.r.s.ely, “l have evidence.”
Gu Chen was startled.
Gu Cheng looked up at her.
It was three in the morning when Lin Ci arrived with the things.
She could not sleep either. In addition, she was worried about Lu Ning, so she asked the chauffeur to drive her here.
As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Qing and Huo Jinyan sitting there, exhausted.
Lin Ci walked over..
