"You...you..."

He Sirui's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

That handsome yet cold face brought her back to the dark, menacing muzzle of a gun. She screamed, hiding behind Huo Junyu, her voice trembling as she told him:

"Brother Junyu, she...she's an assassin from the Lu family! Last time in the bar restroom, she almost helped Mianmian kill me!"

"Oh?" Huo Junyu raised an eyebrow, not too surprised, but asked her instead, "Last time at the bar? What did you do to Mianmian that almost got you killed?"

"I……"

He Sirui couldn't say it.

Her hand was still clutching Huo Junyu's clothes, but Huo Junyu raised his arm and forcefully shook her off!

Pei Nian's lips curled into a cold smile.

He Sirui lost her temper, crying and shouting, "Junyu, you have to believe me! This person... she can use a gun! And she's Jiang Mianmian's person... Yes, it must be her colluding with Jiang Mianmian to instruct these kids to smear me! It must be!"

"Are you so sure?" Huo Junyu's eyes held a deep, ruthless glint.

"Yes, confirmed!"

"In that case, let's call the police."

"What?"

He Sirui was stunned.

“I said, since you think someone conspired to harm you, why don’t you call the police and let them handle the matter?”

He Sirui looked up and met Huo Junyu's cold and deep eyes.

Now she realized what she had been doing. Crying and making a scene didn't solve anything; it only made Huo Junyu dislike her!

And she can't call the police.

Being smeared is a minor issue; the real problem is if the police get involved and trace the whereabouts of the charity fund…

This is a huge problem!

He Sirui composed herself, wiped away her tears, and looked at Huo Junyu with feigned innocence: "Calling the police... is unnecessary. After all, this person is close to Mianmian, and if things escalate to a point of no return, it won't be good for anyone..."

"Heh, there's nothing wrong with that!" Pei Nian sneered. "Anyway, I didn't have any face to begin with! So what's the point of talking about 'tearing apart' it?"

He Sirui was speechless, and could only glare at her fiercely.

Huo Junyu lowered his eyes and smiled.

It seems that casting Pei Nian in this play was the right decision; it was Jiang Mianmian's idea after all.

At the time, the two of them were discussing how to get the police involved in the investigation, and they came up with the idea of ​​a diversionary tactic. They would attract the police's attention with another matter, and then naturally shift their focus to the Ho family's charitable foundation.

But how to use a feint to attack from the east while striking from the west took the two of them quite a while to figure out.

Finally, Jiang Mianmian had a flash of inspiration—"Pei Nian said that if you need her, go to the bar to find her! I think we might as well involve her in this matter."

At first, Huo Junyu was still a little worried, but seeing Pei Nian's cooperative attitude today, he felt much more at ease.

However, looking at Pei Nian again, it seemed that she wasn't acting, but genuinely protecting Jiang Mianmian...

He frowned, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up inside him.

“Miss He,” Pei Nian said sternly, “if you suspect me, I suggest you call the police. The police will find out everything quickly, and I will plead guilty and accept punishment as I see fit, right, Dean Liang?”

"Yes, yes!" Liang Lu reacted quickly and hurriedly agreed, "Ms. He, you've suffered so much injustice here today, I won't feel at ease if I don't call the police to resolve this! Here's what I'll do, I'll call the police, I..."

"Stop it right now!" He Sirui had snatched her phone last time.

Liang Lu was startled and stood still.

Pei Nian's face remained as cold and aloof as a perpetual iceberg.

"Um... I don't want to ruin my relationship with Mianmian," He Sirui made up an excuse. "Fortunately, it was just a mudslinging incident, and I'm not seriously injured, so let's just let it go... Heh, consider yourself lucky!"

"I don't want this luck anymore, okay?" Pei Nian saw that she wanted to leave, took a step to the door and blocked her way, a mischievous smile on her face, "Miss He, you seem very scared?"

"Get out of my way!"

"What exactly is Miss He afraid of?" Pei Nian curled her lips. "I'm not afraid of the police even though I don't have an ID card, so what are you afraid of?"

He Sirui just wants to leave this place of trouble.

However, Pei Nian stood in front of him.

This girl was petite, yet possessed astonishing strength. He Sirui tried to force her way out, but Pei Nian was like an unshakeable mountain.

Just when things were at a stalemate, Jiang Mianmian arrived.

"What happened?" Jiang Mianmian chuckled and walked to Huo Junyu's side. "I rushed over as soon as I received your message. What happened? Was Sirui bullied?"

Her big eyes seem to speak volumes when she smiles.

Huo Junyu looked at her with doting eyes and touched her face... This little woman is a superb actress, almost as good as her movie star uncle.

So Huo Junyu also put on a dramatic act and recounted the whole story in a pretentious manner.

Jiang Mianmian pretended to listen, nodding and shaking her head from time to time.

After listening, she said to He Sirui "seriously": "Sirui, please don't misunderstand! How could Pei Nian and I possibly conspire to harm you? Are you so afraid of being harmed because you've done too many bad things?"

"you……"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I was just joking," Jiang Mianmian laughed. "Speaking of calling the police, there's no need for that. I've already brought the officers with me!"

"What?"

“Sirui,” Jiang Mianmian patted her shoulder and gently smiled, “On this matter, Junyu and I are of the same mind. You are a guest, and we can’t neglect you. Since you had an accident at the welfare home in Yangcheng, Junyu and I must see it through to the end!”

"..."

"Sirui, I believe the law will give you justice!"

Jiang Mianmian looked outside and saw that several police officers in uniform and wearing badges were already in place.

He Sirui panicked.

This was the first time she had ever met someone like Jiang Mianmian!

He's already going crazy, and now he's dragging her down with him!

"Officer, this is Ms. He Sirui," Jiang Mianmian introduced. "She was just splashed with dirty water by these children. Please, officer, do not be swayed by information on the internet and give us a more authoritative judgment!"

The policeman nodded.

He first asked the little boy, "Why did you throw dirty water on others?"

Intimidated by the police's power, the little boy gritted his teeth and said, "Because...because she doesn't give us any money! The conditions at the orphanage are terrible; we don't even have enough to eat!"

"How could this be?" The police officer looked at He Sirui with suspicion. "The He Foundation wouldn't be so stingy as to cut back on the children's meals, would it?"

“Officer, I also believe that’s not the case.” Jiang Mianmian blinked. “So you must investigate this matter thoroughly and give our Sirui justice!”
