"Let's call the police!"

Upon hearing Qiao Chu's words, those men all knelt down and begged for mercy.

"We didn't mean it, we really didn't mean it. Please, gentlemen and ladies, let us go. We will be grateful and will never do it again."

"..."

"We really won't dare to do bad things again, and we won't do anything stupid. Please forgive us, please forgive us. We'll kowtow to you."

Qiao Chu sneered, looking at these greedy people with disdain.

"If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place! If you do something wrong, you should take responsibility. The law is not just for show."

The three women were frightened and started crying.

They collapsed to the ground.

I regret it so much!

...

Soon, the police arrived.

Qiao Chu and the others gave their statements on the spot.

The evidence was also handed over to the police.

The police also took samples of those lunch boxes for testing.

Qiao Chu also provided the police with the hospital's test results for comparison.

After taking the man back to the police station, the police also went to Xia Fan and asked him to assist in the investigation.

Another team of investigators went to the hospital to take Cheng Ling's statement and learn more about her condition.

...

Rong Yan's parents are back, and she wants Xia Fan to come over for dinner that evening so they can talk about their wedding date.

She never expected that Xia Fan would be taken to the police station to assist in the investigation.

Rong Yan immediately used her connections and went to the police station to try and see Xia Fan.

Because the case is still under investigation, she cannot see Xia Fan for the time being.

Xia Fan denied the allegations and has hired a lawyer to follow up on the matter.

...

While waiting anxiously, Rong Yan received a call from her secretary.

"Vice President Rong, we have contacted Xu Ke's former agent, and she has agreed to meet with you."

After thinking for a moment, Rong Yan said, "There's no need to meet."

"Okay, I'll call her in a bit."

With so many worries lately, Rong Yan was getting impatient.

Xia Fan's lawyer arrived, but was unable to meet him.

However, the lawyer learned some details.

He told Rong Yan.

"Those suspects insisted that Mr. Xia paid them to put an excessive amount of laxatives in the lunchbox and then send it to Vanxi."

"How's the police investigation going?"

"President Xia denied it, and the police are still reviewing the surveillance footage. Initially, the footage does identify those suspects, but there is no evidence to suggest that President Xia ordered it. Currently, we only have the suspects' statements. They may be released later, but the police will continue their investigation, and President Xia will have to cooperate with them."

Vanchi!

It's all related to that bitch Qiao Chu again!

Even if it were true, Rong Yan wouldn't be surprised at all.

If it were her, she would also want to take action and not let that bitch Qiao Chu get away with it.

It was Qiao Chuxian's aggressive behavior that made her have the nerve to call the police!

Double standard dog!

Even if someone has to be punished, it should be that slut Qiao Chu!

If things were exposed, Xia Fan would have been far too careless. He should have left it to a scapegoat instead of doing it himself!

"Attorney Sun, please continue to follow up. Make sure Mr. Xia gets out of this mess, no matter the cost."

"The police are still investigating, and a lawyer hasn't been involved yet. I'm trying my best to understand the case and think of a solution."

"Thanks!"

"Mr. Rong, why don't you go back first?"

"No need, I'll wait here."

...

As a representative, Holly bought a fruit basket and went to the hospital to visit Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling was quite touched!

"Sister Li, you're so busy, yet you still came to see me. Thank you so much! I'm feeling much better, but I still need to continue with the IV drip and be monitored."

"On behalf of my boss, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you! She is busy with Fashion Week and cannot come. She will make time to come and see you once she is done."

"Tell Sister Chu not to come see me; Fashion Week is more important. My condition has improved after the doctor gave me the medication, so tell her not to worry. I can take care of myself now."

"Cheng Ling, aren't your family members in Haicheng? Should I notify them?"

"No need, my hometown is quite far away, I just work in Haicheng by myself."

"The boss asked me to tell you that you can rest assured and focus on your treatment at the hospital until you recover. Don't worry about the medical expenses; the boss will pay for them. Dr. Nangong is a good friend of the boss. You can talk to Dr. Nangong about anything that's wrong or if you feel unwell."

"I know, you've all been very good to me."

"I let you try the bento box, I..."

"Sister Li, it's okay, don't blame yourself. As a model who hasn't even debuted yet, I'm definitely the most suitable person to taste-test. If they get sick, that would be terrible. We can't let Sister Chu's fashion show be affected."

Holly smiled gently, "You're so kind!"

Cheng Ling didn't speak; she just chuckled.

Holly continued, "Study hard, and you'll have your day. There will be many opportunities in the future. Your boss is also very good; she's loyal and can make you successful."

"I haven't thought that far ahead, but I will try my best."

She's such a simple and innocent girl!

Holly's smile deepened.

Kind people will surely be rewarded!

...

It was already six o'clock in the evening, and Xia Fan still hadn't come out.

He is still in the interrogation room.

Rong Yan asked the police, who told her to go back first and that they wouldn't release her so quickly.

Rong Yan was quite agitated, and she raised questions.

"Since there's no evidence against him, why aren't you releasing him? What exactly do you want? Are you detaining him to wear down his patience and force him to confess?"

The police officer was stern and warned, "Ms. Rong, please watch your words. We are handling this case according to procedure. If you continue to cause trouble, we can ask you to leave. Whether you are guilty or not is not up to you or us to decide; we need evidence to support our case. The investigation is still ongoing. If you continue to obstruct us, that will be obstructing official business, and we have the right to arrest you."

Rong Yan was afraid of the police officer's authority.

She was also very dissatisfied.

Even so, she left the police station first.

Her parents were back, and she couldn't refuse to have dinner with them.

...

Hearing that their daughter was getting married and preparing for the wedding, the Rong family elders naturally wanted to meet their future son-in-law.

"Rong Yan, why isn't Xia Fan here for dinner?"

"Dad, he's busy, he's away on a business trip. He'll treat us to dinner when he gets back."

Rong Sheng was a little displeased. "You're being too hasty. You didn't even discuss it with us before you started planning to get married."

"Dad, love has come, and there's no stopping it. He's definitely the man destined for me."

"You approve of him so much, is he really that good?"

"Of course he's great, I love him!"

Rong Sheng pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions.

Rong Zhan was eating, completely ignoring Rong Yan.

She wants to get married, and that's none of his business.

However, he didn't want Xia Fan at all, always feeling that the person was too slick.

Rong Yan was stubborn and insisted on sticking to him, ignoring his attempts to persuade her.

So, I'm too lazy to offer any advice.

******

It was already past closing time, but Qiao Chu hadn't left yet.

She tidied her clothes and accessories.

She has already made arrangements; tomorrow morning, Xiao Liu will be responsible for delivering the clothes to the fashion show.

Wait a minute, she has a meeting to attend.
