When Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can arrived, they saw Ye Chen and Nie Xin sitting on benches on either side of the hall.
Both of them looked extremely pale. Tang Yilan, who was in the middle, looked at them with a troubled expression. Suddenly, she looked up and saw Jiang Can. As if she had seen a savior, she hurriedly ran over and grabbed Jiang Can's hand.
"What's going on?" Huo Zhixing was completely bewildered, staring at Ye Chen. "You're a lawyer, getting into a fight?"
Ye Chen pressed down on the corner of his mouth and turned his face away.
It's quite embarrassing to be drunk.
He's usually the one who comes to the police station to bail people out, but now, Huo Zhixing has brought other lawyers to bail him out.
The Huo family's legal team was extremely efficient and quickly completed all the formalities.
Several lawyers, upon seeing Ye Chen, tried their best to suppress their laughter, then greeted Huo Zhixing and left the police station.
Jiang Can also found this unbelievable. After comforting Tang Yilan for a few moments, she hurriedly ran to see Nie Xin's face.
"Thank goodness!" She breathed a long sigh of relief. "My face is fine, it won't affect my schedule!"
“??” Nie Xin frowned, revealing a distorted expression.
"Cousin, don't you care if I'm injured anywhere else? You only care about my face?"
"Yes!" Jiang Can smiled. "Your face is quite valuable. The company has already signed so many commercial events for you. If you don't show up, you'll be missing out big time!"
"Besides, I know Attorney Ye; he wouldn't really hurt you!"
"Oh!"
Nie Xin snorted coldly, glanced at Ye Chen, and turned her head away.
At such a crucial moment of right and wrong, Huo Zhixing would certainly not side with his brother, and immediately gave Ye Chen a barrage of eye-rolls.
Adding to his frustration was Jiang Can's pregnancy, which made him even more depressed, and now Ye Chen had run right into the line of fire.
"Get out of here, don't embarrass yourself!" Huo Zhixing glared at him.
Ye Chen looked at him incredulously.
Isn't that Jiang Can's cousin? They used to be sworn enemies, but now...
Jiang Can squeezed Huo Zhixing's hand and smiled gently, "Honey, don't get so angry."
Then she immediately called the public relations department: "Reporters might be crowding the police station entrance in a bit. Have someone come and stop them. All the reports about Nie Xin and Tang Yilan these past few days, no matter what method you use, suppress them. Absolutely do not let them trend on social media, understand?"
Huo Zhixing was also worried about this.
After all, Nie Xin holds a very important position in the entertainment industry. If it were to be revealed that he had a fight with his lawyer in a bar, the negative impact would be enough to cause Yufeng Media's stock price to drop by several percentage points.
Fu Xiuyu is in England these days. If Yufeng Media falls into his hands and is ruined...
My mom is determined to come back from afar and turn her back on me for the greater good!
Fortunately, his wife reacted quickly and handled problems exceptionally well, so he didn't have to worry about her at all.
Huo Zhixing raised his hand and patted her little head, his eyes filled with undisguised doting affection.
Nie Xin let out a soft snort, unwilling to be subjected to this display of affection.
Especially now that I'm still angry.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone has always indulged and pampered him. Even after entering the entertainment industry, his career has been smooth sailing. His huge fan base has spoiled him, making him arrogant and self-centered.
Last night, I was actually beaten up at a bar for the first time ever.
So, stimulated by the sight of dog food (a metaphor for witnessing public displays of affection) and still seething with anger, Actor Nie activated his "spike-covered" mode:
"Go show off at home! Can't you see there are still single, unmarried young men here?"
Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can were both taken aback.
“That’s right.” Ye Chen’s gloomy voice came through, “Shouldn’t we at least consider other people’s feelings?”
"To do this in public, especially in a police station, is utterly disgraceful!"
"Exactly! Cousin, if your uncle were here, he'd definitely prick you with a needle, you believe me?"
The two of them talked back and forth, as if they were on the same side.
The Huo couple were utterly shocked, staring at them in disbelief.
What, you tried to rescue the wrong person?
They should be left inside for a few days so that reporters can take pictures!
At this moment, Tang Yilan stepped forward and gave both sides equal blame.
"Have you two taken the wrong medicine?"
Nie Xin and Ye Chen both looked at her, about to say something, but then they glanced at each other and swallowed their words.
Both were intelligent people, and neither wanted to be the first to speak, giving the other a handle to use against them.
"Alright, stop arguing here!" Tang Yilan glanced at the two of them, frowned, and waved her hand. "Let's go, let's go!"
“Okay, I’ll take you home!” Nie Xin stepped forward and stood next to her.
Ye Chen was stunned. Why was he so slow to react at this moment?
"Yilan, let me take you home," Ye Chen said with a smile. "You've been up all night at the police station and haven't even had breakfast. Let me take you to get something to eat first... How about the millet porridge and char siu buns at that place near the school gate? I remember you like them!"
Nie Xin curled her lips. What a childish trick. She thought she could defeat him by using shared memories?
"Attorney Ye, I think you should go to the law firm first to salvage your image as a top lawyer! After all, the legal profession is a small circle, and your glorious achievements last night will spread far and wide soon!"
"You don't need to worry about that," Ye Chen smiled. "The legal profession isn't like the entertainment industry, where even the smallest things are blown out of proportion. Heh, after all, everyone's busy and has to rely on their brains to make a living, unlike some people who just rely on their looks!"
"Oh, yes." Nie Xin said calmly, "Since you're so busy, I won't trouble you to take Tang Yilan home! Director Tang and I will go to the hotel to grab something to eat first, and while we're at it... we also need to discuss the script!"
