Chapter 29 Report her! Make her...
The situation is out of control again!
Taking advantage of the situation, Yu Liu shoved the medical record into the police officer's hand: "Officer! This is a hospital certificate! She beat me so badly I sustained minor injuries! She must be charged with intentional assault!"
Ni Cheng stood aside and recited the criminal law clauses fluently.
The police officer looked at the medical record with a troubled expression: "Ms. Yu, mediation is the fastest way to resolve problems. I suggest you try mediation for this kind of minor conflict..."
"No way!" Yu Liu said firmly, her gaze fixed on Mao Lan with a venomous intensity.
Mao Lan was so angry she wanted to tear her mouth apart.
Xie Tang took the medical record and quickly scanned it, then his sharp gaze shot towards Yu Liu: "Ms. Yu, since it's a fracture, what about the X-ray or CT scan? The diagnosis can't be based on just one report, can it?"
Yu Liu's expression changed drastically, her eyes flickering: "The film... the film was in such a hurry, it was left at the hospital."
Xie Tang and Li Zan beside her quickly exchanged a glance.
Li Zan immediately whispered clearly in her ear, "Sister, the way her injured left hand is bandaged is strange. It's positioned too high, and just now when she was agitated, she subconsciously slammed her injured hand on the table with considerable force, but the pained expression on her face was...deliberate."
Xie Tang understood immediately. He casually tossed the medical record back to Yu Liu. "Ms. Yu, medical records can be falsified. If you insist on the charges, we must verify all the evidence! Now, please lead the way. We'll go to the hospital immediately, and in front of the police officers, retrieve the original images and re-examine the case! If it is indeed a fracture, we will not shirk our responsibility! But—"
Her voice suddenly turned cold, her gaze piercing Yu Liu and Ni Cheng with a chilling intensity. "If the injury report is found to be false... Ms. Yu, you will be suspected of fabricating evidence, making false accusations, and obstructing official duties! Attorney Ni, before taking on this case, did you verify the authenticity of your client's evidence? Have you considered the professional risks involved?"
Yu Liu's face turned pale instantly, and she looked at Ni Cheng in a panic.
Ni Cheng's face also turned extremely ugly, his brows furrowed, clearly not expecting this sudden situation.
The police officer immediately became serious: "Ms. Yu, Attorney Xie's request is reasonable. The injury assessment must be rigorous and accurate. Please cooperate; we will go to the hospital now to verify the original records and imaging data!"
Mao Lan watched Yu Liu's panic, feeling a mixture of annoyance and pleasure.
Xie Tang and Li Zan exchanged a knowing glance, and Xie Tang solemnly said to the police officer, "Thank you for your hard work, officer. We will fully cooperate with the investigation and make sure to find out the truth."
“Attorney Xie,” Ni Cheng coughed lightly to smooth things over, “It’s normal for Ms. Yu to forget to bring the X-ray films because she was so frightened. We will contact the hospital as soon as possible.”
"Go straight to the hospital." Xie Tang looked directly at Yu Liu: "Aren't you scared?"
Yu Liu hesitated for a moment, then forced herself to remain calm and said, "Fine, I'll go! Who's afraid of who!"
As everyone walked out of the police station, Li Zan accidentally brushed against Yu Liu's arm.
Yu Liu blurted out angrily, "Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"
"Excuse me," Li Zan deliberately reminded him, "Is your fractured hand alright?"
Yu Liu suddenly woke up, clutching her left hand and wailing, "It hurts so much!"
"Ms. Yu, stop acting." Xie Tang stepped forward and deftly picked up Yu Liu's left hand and shook it—the movement was agile and normal.
She looked at the police officer and said, "We don't need to watch the video anymore."
The police officer's face darkened: "Come in, all of you! Take statements!"
When her lie was exposed, Yu Liu showed no remorse. Her venomous gaze swept across Xie Tang's face before finally settling on Ni Cheng.
Ni Cheng pulled her aside and whispered, "Let's reconcile! If we go head-to-head, you might be the one who gets detained..."
"I invited you here to back me up!" Yu Liu said angrily, "not to act as a peacemaker! Do you believe I'll file a complaint against you?"
Ni Cheng, having reached his limit, retorted: "Lawyers provide legal advice, not help you break the law! I'm not taking this case, and I'll refund your legal fees!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Yu Liu was so angry she jumped up and down.
Inside the mediation room, the police decided that Mao Lan should apologize and pay for the medical expenses.
"Why!" Yu Liu screamed, "She beat me up like this! You all ganged up on me!"
Mao Lan was extremely annoyed. She took out her wallet and threw a wad of banknotes at Yu Liu's feet: "Keep the change! The rest is for your mental hospital registration fee!"
Xie Tang's temples throbbed—this was truly adding fuel to the fire.
Yu Liu instantly exploded, baring her teeth and claws as she tried to pounce, but was firmly stopped by the police.
"Ms. Yu!" the police officer warned sternly, "You are suspected of disorderly conduct and obstructing official duties! You are being detained according to the law!"
Yu Liu's curses and cries were eventually drowned out by the sound of footsteps as she was led away.
Around 2 PM, the group left the police station.
Mao Lan felt bad and wanted to treat Xie Tang to a meal, but Xie Tang declined. Instead, she and Li Zan packed some rice bowls and took them back to the law firm.
Yin Xi watched them wolfing down their food while looking at the case files, her eyes filled with envy. She planned to treat Xie Tang to a nice meal that evening.
At six o'clock sharp, Yin Xi pulled Xie Tang out of bed: "Stop busy, let's eat!"
Xie Tang instructed Li Zan to finish up, then left with Yin Xi.
Yin Xi's cousin's newly opened restaurant wasn't very crowded.
The owner kindly led the way and gave them a quiet private room.
"Don't be shy, order the more expensive stuff," Yin Xi said generously.
The chef's skills were indeed excellent, and Xie Tang enjoyed her meal very much.
After dinner, Yin Xi answered the phone, and Xie Tang got up and went to the restroom.
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
A woman with heavy makeup, frivolous curly hair, and a flamboyant sequined dress stopped in front of Yin Xi, her gaze sweeping over her without restraint.
Yin Xi frowned and hung up the phone: "You've gone to the wrong place."
A strange, provocative smile appeared on the woman's face: "You're Yin Xi?"
"Who is this?" Yin Xi was sure she didn't recognize the face.
“Zhao Ya.” The woman’s voice suddenly rose, filled with undisguised smugness, “You don’t know me, but I know you.”
This name was like a knife, stabbing deeply into Yin Xi's heart!
She slowly stood up and stared intently at the woman in front of her—she was not young, but her looks were average!
Did Yao Xinyu betray her for something like this?
Humiliation and rage exploded in her veins, burning her fingertips.
Zhao Ya admired Yin Xi's ashen face, her sneer deepening: "Oh, so angry? Are you unhappy seeing Xin Yu and me all lovey-dovey right now?"
"Get out!" Yin Xi squeezed out three words through gritted teeth, each word as if wrapped in ice shards.
"Can't stand it already?" Zhao Ya didn't back down; instead, she took another step closer and lowered her voice, "There's something I've been holding back for a long time. Do you know why Xinyu chose you over me? He said you're—very rigid, especially in bed. You're like a dead fish, completely uninteresting..."
Every word was like a red-hot iron, branding Yin Xi's dignity and tearing her composure to shreds!
She trembled violently, and all color drained from her face instantly.
Seeing her on the verge of collapse, Zhao Ya giggled with pleasure, "Don't like hearing it? But I'm going to make you know—"
Snap!
Yin Xi used all her strength to slap Zhao Ya hard across the face!
Zhao Ya was so shocked by the blow that she stumbled and bumped into the corner of the table. She covered her face, both shocked and furious.
"This slap will teach you to shut your mouth!" Yin Xi's voice was hoarse and cracked with extreme anger, her eyes bloodshot. "If you dare to spew filth again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Zhao Ya looked at Yin Xi, who was trying to hold back her tears, and covered her face, letting out a shrill laugh.
"He also said you were unsophisticated and poor, and that your family looked down on you! He only did it because you're naive, obedient, easy to fool, and easy to play with! You clung to him for seven years, you're really despicable!"
Yin Xi's last shred of reason crumbled, and she grabbed a half-full glass of iced beer from the table and splashed it hard on Zhao Ya's face!
Zhao Ya screamed out of the suddenness, wiped her face in a mess, and her eyes instantly turned fierce like a wild beast. She pounced forward, grabbed Yin Xi's long hair tightly, and dragged her backward with all her might!
Yin Xi gasped in pain, her scalp throbbing with agony.
Xie Tang pushed open the door and witnessed this scene!
Seeing that Zhao Ya's tantrum was exactly the same as Yu Liu's, he stiffened and immediately rushed forward to separate the two.
Despite the excruciating pain, Yin Xi suddenly lowered her head, gripped Zhao Ya's wrists tightly with both hands like iron clamps, and twisted them backward with all her might!
Zhao Ya screamed in pain and let go.
Without hesitation, Yin Xi took advantage of Zhao Ya's loss of balance and slammed her shoulder into Zhao Ya's chest!
Zhao Ya staggered and fell heavily to the ground.
"Yin Xi! Calm down!" Xie Tang saw Yin Xi about to kick her, and remembering the lessons of Mao Lan and Yu Liu, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm—Yin Xi would definitely suffer if she injured this shrew!
At this moment, Yin Xi was completely consumed by anger.
With a powerful struggle, she pushed Xie Tang away!
Caught off guard, Xie Tang twisted her high heels and fell straight backward, crashing to the ground!
A piercing pain shot through her ankle, making her vision go black.
"Ah Tang!" Yin Xi was startled when she saw her fall. Her anger subsided slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to help her up.
A fierce glint flashed in Zhao Ya's eyes as she seized the opportunity to grab Yin Xi's ankle and pull hard!
Caught off guard, Yin Xi fell heavily to the ground.
Yin Xi roared, struggled to her feet, and lunged at Zhao Ya without a care in the world!
The two instantly started wrestling on the floor!
Xie Tang endured the excruciating pain and knelt up, looking at Zhao Ya who had been beaten black and blue and began to beg for mercy.
She immediately stepped forward and pulled at Yin Xi: "Stop! Yin Xi! Stop it! Think about the consequences! Do you want to ruin yourself?"
The door to the private room was suddenly kicked open!
Yao Xinyu rushed in and saw Zhao Ya's miserable state on the ground; his face instantly turned grim!
Without saying a word, he strode forward, roughly pulled Yin Xi off Zhao Ya, and without asking why, slapped her hard across the face!
A crisp slap rang out in the deathly silence!
Yao Xinyu's eyes were like blades, staring intently at Yin Xi, as if he wanted to devour her alive.
How could he treat Yin Xi, who had loved him for six years, like this?
Xie Tang was so angry that she trembled all over and slapped him across the face.
Yao Xinyu glared at Xie Tang, but resisted the urge to strike her because of her flawless, beautiful face.
Yin Xi's head was turned to the side after being hit, and half of her cheek was red and swollen.
She looked at Yao Xinyu in disbelief, large tears rolling down her cheeks—her grievances and pain were overflowing!
He didn't even ask whether it was right or wrong, just because that bitch hit her?
The burning pain on her face completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope in her heart, plunging her into an abyss of icy despair.
Is this the person she loved with all her heart for seven years?
Yao Xinyu ignored her completely, quickly bent down, and carefully helped Zhao Ya, whose face was covered in blood from her nose and who was crying.
The voice was gentler than Yin Xi had ever heard before: "Don't be afraid, don't cry, I'll take you to the hospital."
Zhao Ya collapsed into his arms, pointing at Yin Xi and screaming, "Xin Yu! Call the police! Arrest her and put her in jail! File a complaint against her! Make sure she can't be a lawyer!"
