Chapter 1396 Life-saving Straw

At this moment, Nie Jinxi had already heard the news that her father had been arrested, and her heart sank.

She didn't know what kind of evidence the police had that would lead them to take her father away. The thought of her mother already being incarcerated and her father being convicted of murder would leave her without a father or a mother...

When Nie Jinxi thought of this, she immediately went to ask Ji Minghuan for help. However, when she arrived at Ji Minghuan's house, she was told that Ji Minghuan was on a business trip and would not be back for a while!

She was so anxious that she called Ji Minghuan. After making several calls, Ji Minghuan finally answered the phone.

"Minghuan, what should I do? My dad has been arrested by the police. Can you think of a solution?"

Ji Minghuan on the other end of the phone raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a calm tone, "I heard about this... I heard that your father was taken away from the scene. It seems that the police have an arrest warrant. I think it will be difficult for your father to escape this time! If the police didn't have sufficient evidence, they wouldn't have taken your father away!"

"That's why I came looking for you, but you're not at home!" Nie Jinxi frowned and said anxiously, "It happened twenty years ago. Is there no other way? Even if it's just to reduce my dad's sentence! Minghuan, your dad is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Can you help smooth things over for us?"

"Nie Jinxi, this is a murder case. You want my dad to handle it. Are you crazy?" Ji Minghuan rejected Nie Jinxi's request without hesitation and answered coldly.

"I..." Nie Jinxi knew she was desperate and could only stamp her feet and beg, "I have no other choice. Minghuan, please do my dad a favor since he sold you the shares before! We will definitely remember your kindness!"

"At this point, all I can do is find you a great lawyer. As for the final outcome, I can't guarantee it!"

Ji Minghuan sighed softly, began to flip through his business cards, and then sent the lawyer's contact information: "Please write down the lawyer's number. I'll help you say hello to him!"

"Thank you..." Nie Jinxi didn't know if it would be useful at this moment, but it was better than doing nothing!

"By the way, your housekeeper said you were on a business trip. When will you be back?" Nie Jinxi couldn't help but ask with concern, always having a bad feeling in her heart.

"It depends. Maybe one or two weeks, or maybe a month..." Ji Minghuan answered vaguely.

Nie Jinxi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Ever since she persuaded her father to sell the shares to Ji Minghuan, his attitude towards her had become cold again!

Now that her father is in trouble, he is not here. She doesn’t know if he is deliberately avoiding her!

"Minghuan, can you come back earlier? I'm so confused now, I..." Although Nie Jinxi was doubtful, at this time, he was almost her last straw, and she didn't want to give up on him!

But before she could finish, a delicate female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Minghuan, come quickly and help me open the bottle cap. My hands hurt!"

"I'm coming!" Ji Minghuan even responded, and his tone was even gentler than to her.

Nie Jinxi's eyes widened in disbelief, and she asked in a deep voice, "Minghuan, who are you with?"

"Just a few friends..." Ji Minghuan frowned unhappily, apparently losing his patience with Nie Jinxi. He said indifferently, "I have something else to discuss. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up!"
