The person who came was Zhou's mother.
Surrounded by four bodyguards in suits, she wore an intellectual and decent royal blue cheongsam, and her delicate face showed no emotion.
"Mom, why are you here?" Zhou Chenyan was surprised.
Zhou's mother ignored him.
I don’t know why Zhou’s mother came here, and whose side she will choose to stand on.
After thinking about it, I stood up and politely called her, "Mom."
Mother Zhou hummed softly and comforted, "Mom knows you've been wronged. Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
I am completely confused.
How did Zhou's mother get the news?
Judging from the tone of her voice, it seems as if she has already figured out the whole story?
My mind was filled with doubts but I didn't know where to start. I just whispered back, "Thank you, Mom."
Zhou's mother said no more.
She glanced coldly at everyone in the room, and finally set her sights on those thugs, pointing her finger at me:
"You just said that she instructed you to bully Gardenia?"
Several thugs nodded quickly.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Zhou's mother's eyes. "Then tell me, what deep hatred do Chen Yan and Zhizi have that could make you take such a cruel action?"
Before Zhou Chenyan could question my name, Zhou's mother gave me a warning look.
I understood instantly that Zhou's mother was setting a trap for the three guys.
As expected, the three of them immediately took the bait—
"Ms. Chen said she was jealous of her husband's closeness to that woman and asked us to teach that woman a lesson."
"Ms. Chen, you said these words yourself! You can't deny them!"
The three of them kept calling Zhou Chenyan "Miss Chen", which made Zhou Chenyan's face even gloomier.
I sneered, "If it's true as you three say, that I bribed you, how come you don't even know my last name? My last name is Mu, not Chen!"
Hearing this, the three thugs turned pale, knowing that they had fallen into a trap.
The police officers in charge of the case also understood what was happening and took the three people away for questioning separately.
The questioning process was quick.
After sorting out the transcripts, the investigating police officer returned and said, "The three suspects' accounts are unclear, and their confessions contain significant discrepancies. From this, we can infer that their allegations against Ms. Mu are completely slanderous!"
The injustice that could not be cleared up in the previous life was finally revealed in this life.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked up to meet Zhou Chenyan's evasive gaze.
"Since it's all a misunderstanding, let's not pursue it."
I stood aside with a cold look on my face, feeling quite unhappy.
If those three thugs were not bribed by Zhou Zhizi on the spur of the moment, they would have been more prepared and had coordinated their statements beforehand.
What will be waiting for me?
I don't want to suffer this injustice in vain.
"Don't pursue it. Why not?" I laughed instead of getting angry.
I turned around, walked up to the police officer handling the case, and politely said, "Comrade police, since the charges against me have been dropped, I'm going to report the case next!"
"I'm a clean, law-abiding citizen who has never offended the powerful or the wealthy. How could I have been killed and smeared by three thugs?"
"This time, Miss Zhou Zhizi is fine. If something really happened, wouldn't I be unable to defend myself? So I'm reporting this case and requesting a thorough investigation. I must find the mastermind behind this and give an explanation to me and Miss Zhou!"
I hinted at something and glanced at Zhou Chenyan vaguely.
I think Zhou Chenyan should have guessed something in his mind.
Behind this incident——
More or less, it is inseparable from Zhou Zhizi.
She put herself in the game, deliberately and even at the cost of sacrificing herself, just to get rid of me completely.
But considering Zhou Chenyan's feelings for Zhou Zhizi, he would rather pretend to be stupid than believe that the little rose he has always held in his hands would be so unscrupulous.
However, as long as the police investigation results are out, Zhou Chenyan will probably have to believe it no matter how reluctant he is.
…
In the hospital.
Most of Zhou Zhizi's injuries were superficial. The nurse treated her and she should be fine.
"Miss Zhou may have been too frightened, so she hasn't woken up yet."
The nurse thought for a long time and could only come up with this reason.
After the nurse left, Zhou Chenyan, her mother and I just sat on the chairs, and no one spoke.
Time passed minute by minute, and Zhou Zhizi showed no signs of waking up.
How long will I stay here?
Just as I was about to find an excuse to leave, Zhou's mother suddenly picked up the water cup and walked towards the water dispenser in the corner.
A full cup of steaming water.
She took it in her hand and hurriedly placed the cup on the bedside table next to the bed.
"Wait until Gardenia wakes up, the water temperature will be just right."
After Zhou's mother finished speaking, she turned around and accidentally knocked over the water cup with her arm.
The hot water inside suddenly poured out, splashing onto the cabinet, the bed, and Zhou Zhizi's arm...
"ah!"
Zhou Zhizi opened her eyes with a cry of pain.
Looking at her arm that was burned red, she instinctively looked at Zhou Chenyan with a look of grievance and help.
The next second, she realized something belatedly and pretended to be calm.
"Mom, ah...Brother, Sister Yanyan, you are here."
Mother Zhou saw through it but didn't say anything: "Look at you, child, you are always so disrespectful. You should call her sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law." Zhou Zhizi said reluctantly.
"That's right, you should be more respectful to your sister-in-law in the future. You can't be so tactless anymore, okay?"
Zhou's mother's voice was as kind and gentle as usual, but it made Zhou Zhizi feel an inexplicable chill down her spine.
