Chapter 213 The cunning Zhou Yuanming has finally been caught!
"No need to be polite. Weiwei saved me before, so this is me repaying her kindness," Zuo Ming said.
"Mr. Zuo, there's no need to be so formal. If you need anything from me in the future, just let me know. By the way, I wonder if tonight's incident will cause you any trouble?"
Nanxia asked again, explaining that on the way back, she and he weren't in the same car, and she didn't have a chance to thank him.
She was quite surprised when she came down from the apartment building; there were hundreds of her men standing outside, and dozens of cars parked there.
The fact that this man, a gang leader, personally led his men to rescue her proves that he and her sister are true friends.
"Those of us in this line of work get into trouble every day, it's nothing."
He walked to the bedside, glanced at Nan Weiwei's hand in a cast and the white bandage wrapped around her head, frowned slightly, and said to her:
"I've already taught the person who hit you a lesson."
"Mm." Nan Weiwei nodded to him. "Thanks this time!"
"Why are you being so polite with me? Just focus on recovering from your injury. Come over and have a drink with me when you're all better," Zuo Ming said, gently rubbing her head.
"Mmm." She glanced at her mother and nodded, not daring to say anything more.
Zuo Ming glanced at her gaze and then remembered that her mother was also there. He was not good at socializing with normal people, and he was even less good at saying nice things.
Somewhat embarrassed, she turned to her mother, nodded to her, and said, "Then I'll be going."
After saying that, he left.
Looking at the man with the scar on his face, Nan's mother felt that he had an evil aura about him and didn't seem like a decent person.
She asked her youngest daughter, "Weiwei, what exactly does your friend do?"
"Didn't I tell you? I'm just a small business owner." Nan Weiwei was afraid her mother would worry, so she didn't dare to reveal her true identity.
Nanxia glanced at her younger sister and chimed in.
"Mom, don't worry too much. If it weren't for Mr. Zuo tonight, I would be dead! I just invited him to dinner, but he didn't respond. He seems like a very loyal person."
Hearing her words, Nan's mother's heart jumped into her throat again. She went over and touched her body, asking, "Are you really not hurt?"
"No." She shook her head.
"Sister, do you know who kidnapped you?" Nan Weiwei asked.
"It was Zhou Yuanming. I heard what those people were saying when I was unconscious." Nan Xia clenched her hands tightly. She would hand over the evidence to the police tomorrow and arrest him as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for myself and my family.
"We'll be discharged tonight. It's too unsafe here. I'll go and handle the discharge procedures. Mom, you pack your things." She already knew that Song Yanzhi had withdrawn all the bodyguards and didn't want to ask Shen Yan for help.
"Okay, you...you be careful," Nan's mother called to her.
"By the way, sis, could you reply to Chen Yan's message? I wonder if he's been looking for you," Weiwei suddenly said to her.
"Okay." Nan Xia left the house while taking out her phone to call him. As soon as the call connected, Shen Yan immediately asked, "Nan Xia, where are you? Are you alright?"
"It's all over now, I'm getting ready to go home." She said it casually, saying that she would handle her own troubles, and besides, she trusted Zhou Yuanming so much.
"Where have you been these past few hours? Were you kidnapped?" Shen Yan asked with concern.
“I was kidnapped by a group of gangsters, but my sister’s friends saved me,” she said.
"Were you hurt?" He felt guilty for not protecting her properly, and in the end, it was Weiwei's gang of gangsters who saved her.
"No, thankfully they arrived in time," Nan Xia said.

The following morning.
Nanxia had her assistant take the video to the police. Not long after, Zhou Yuanming was arrested by the police. When he was taken away, he was still confused and kept shouting that he was innocent.
When Nan Xia visited him at the police station as a lawyer, Zhou Yuanming was shocked. How come she wasn't crippled?
He specifically paid a high price to find real underworld figures and even bribed a waiter at the party, even though he received a call last night saying that he had successfully caught her!
"Judging from Director Zhou's surprised expression, he must be very curious about how I escaped last night, right?" Nan Xia asked with a smile as she sat opposite him.
"Hmph, I don't understand what you're saying," Zhou Yuanming scoffed, denying anything.
"Stop pretending. Those gangsters have already said it was you. What's the point of continuing to pretend? By the way, you should know very well how many years you'd get for having an affair and then brutally murdering your wife, leaving her severely injured and paralyzed, right?" she asked, leaning back in her chair with her arms crossed.
Zhou Yuanming's face was very ugly. After being a lawyer for so many years, how could he not know?
Anyone who intentionally injures another person, resulting in death or serious injury causing severe disability through particularly cruel means, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years, life imprisonment, or death.
But how could this woman know that it was he who injured his wife?
"Did you hand that video over to the police?"
He initially protested his innocence and said he wanted to hire a lawyer, but after the police showed him the video of him assaulting his wife, he had nothing more to say.
“Yes, I’ve had someone monitoring you for a while now, and I also guessed that you would target your wife, because you can’t win this divorce case, so the only way is to get rid of her,” Nan Xia said with a smirk.
"Nanxia! I have no grudge against you, why do you have to hurt me?!" Zhou Yuanming gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and suddenly slammed them heavily on the table, asking angrily.
His fierce eyes seemed to want to tear her to pieces. He had lived a life of glory, but he never expected to fall into the hands of a woman! And he had personally brought her to his side.
Being tricked and kept in the dark by this scheme was incredibly frustrating for him.
He didn't even have a chance to fight back!
Nan Xia suddenly laughed, her eyes narrowing as she looked at him, and asked, "If we really had no grudges against each other, why would I insist on sending you to jail?"
Zhou Yuanming was stunned when he heard her words. What grudge did he have against her?
"What grudge do we have? Tell me clearly!" he shouted angrily.
"It's not time yet. Once your verdict is handed down, I'll make sure you die knowing why. By the way, do you want to linger in prison for the rest of your life, or die a quick death?" Nan Xia leaned forward, asking for his opinion.
Zhou Yuanming glared at her with a ferocious rage, knowing that he was truly finished this time. The evidence of his infidelity and the evidence of seriously injuring his wife were all there, making it difficult for him to deny it.
But he still didn't want to die; he was only fifty-one years old...
"Since I recruited you to the law firm, could you have all my assets for the next ten years?"
"So you're afraid of death, huh? Then prepare yourself mentally and welcome...death..."
Nan Xia spoke the last few words very softly, but they weighed heavily on Zhou Yuanming's heart like a mountain, making him feel uncontrollably panicked and afraid.
Coming to his senses, he suddenly stood up and swung his hand at her face, but she nimbly raised her hand to block it. Before he could make another move, the door was suddenly pushed open by the police officers outside, and he was subdued.
"Nan Xia, you vicious and wicked woman, just you wait, you won't get away with this!"
