Chapter 672: Spring Blossoms and Autumn Fruits
Ignoring Cheng Shumin's frantic words, Xiao Muzhen said indifferently, "Where's Tang Ruxing? I'm here to see him."
Cheng Shumin sneered, "He won't see you."
Xiao Muzhen didn't waste any words and turned around and left.
There was a sound of messy footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Cheng Shumin running towards her with a crazy look on her face.
Just when her hand was about to touch him, Xiao Muzhen dodged to the side.
Cheng Shumin missed her target and fell straight forward, landing on her back with a thud.
Her facial features were distorted by pain.
Xiao Muzhen looked down at her coldly, without any emotion in his eyes.
"Ms. Cheng, I don't want to hit you, so I hope you won't go too far."
Cheng Shumin gritted her teeth, glanced at the guardrail next to her, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes.
She suddenly stood up and pounced towards Xiao Muzhen, but Xiao Muzhen was faster than her and avoided her hands.
Because the movement was too large and Cheng Shumin had used up all her strength, her body crashed straight into the guardrail.
Her eyes suddenly widened, filled with fear.
She originally thought that she was ready to drag Xiao Muzhen to die together, but when she really faced death, boundless fear still occupied her mind, and she felt a surge of regret in her heart.
She doesn't want to die...
Just as her body was about to break through the guardrail, a figure suddenly rushed out and bumped into her.
"Bang!"
Cheng Shumin fell to the side of the guardrail, but the person who pushed her away hit the guardrail and fell straight from the top floor.
The moment she saw the other person clearly, fear and disbelief flashed in Cheng Shumin's eyes.
It turned out to be Huo Jinsong!
"No!"
She reached out to grab Huo Jinsong, but only touched the corner of Huo Jinsong's clothes.
"No! No! No! Ah!"
Watching Huo Jinsong fall from the top floor in front of her, Cheng Shumin's spirit almost collapsed, and her eyes were full of regret.
If she had known that it would kill Huo Jinsong, she would never have made this crazy decision.
Cheng Shumin fell to the cold ground, covering her face and crying bitterly.
She didn't expect that Huo Jinsong would disregard his own life in order to save her.
Scenes from the past flashed before her eyes. Ever since she knew that Huo Yunting was not her biological son, she had been blaming Huo Jinsong, but he never blamed her. He just endured her complaints silently.
If she had understood Huo Jinsong's feelings for her earlier... earlier, this result would not have happened.
Unfortunately... it's too late now...
Xiao Muzhen did not expect this sudden change, and when he wanted to save Huo Jinsong, it was too late.
She frowned and looked at Cheng Shumin who was sitting on the ground. There was no sympathy in her eyes. She just felt that it was not worth it for Huo Jinsong to die for such a person. She took out her cell phone and called the police.
Soon, the police arrived and took Cheng Shumin and Xiao Muzhen to the police station to take their statements.
When Xiao Muzhen finished taking the statement and came out, he saw Huo Yunting and Huo Yiyi standing in the lobby of the police station.
Huo Yunting's emotions were relatively stable, but Huo Yiyi's eyes were red and swollen like walnuts from crying, and she was completely immersed in sadness.
Xiao Muzhen walked to Huo Yiyi and was about to comfort her when Huo Yiyi suddenly turned her head to look at her.
"Zhenzhen, you were there at the time. With your skills, you should have been able to save my dad. Is it because of your grudge with my mom that you just stood by and watched him die?"
When Xiao Muzhen met Huo Yiyi's questioning gaze, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
Before she could answer, Huo Yunting on the side said coldly: "Huo Yiyi, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I just want to know the truth about my father's death, that's all!"
Xiao Muzhen looked at her, feeling a little disappointed.
"Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"
Huo Yiyi looked at her and spoke slowly, "I don't want to think about you this way, but I know your skills very well. As long as you want to save someone, there's no one you can't save."
Xiao Muzhen shook his head. "Huo Yiyi, I'm not a deity. I was standing quite far away from the guardrail at the time, and it was too late when I wanted to save your father. Besides, I won't ignore a life just because of personal grudges."
In the end, she overestimated the relationship between her and Huo Yiyi and underestimated human nature.
But she didn't blame Huo Yiyi. After all, she lost a loved one, so it was normal for her to doubt her.
Huo Yiyi didn't say anything else, but didn't look at her either.
After confirming with the police that he could leave, Xiao Muzhen turned and walked out of the police station.
As soon as he reached the side of the road, Huo Yunting's low voice came from behind him.
"I'll have someone take you back."
Xiao Muzhen turned around, looking distant and indifferent, "No need, I can just take a taxi."
Seeing her pale face, Huo Yunting whispered, "Don't take what Yiyi said just now to heart. She just couldn't accept the news of my father's death, so she lost her mind for a while."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "I understand. Mr. Huo probably still has a lot of things to deal with, so I won't keep you any longer."
"I want to ask, why did you go to the top floor of Qida?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned and looked up at Huo Yunting, "Mr. Huo, do you suspect that I was the one who killed your father?"
"No, I just want to know why you are on the top floor of Qida."
After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Muzhen said calmly, "I went to Qida to see Tang Ruxing, but when I got to the top floor, I saw Ms. Cheng."
"Then she tried to push me off the rooftop, but I dodged her. Because she pushed too hard, she nearly fell from the rooftop. Your father suddenly rushed out to save her, and then fell down himself. If you still have any questions, you can request to see my transcript."
After saying that, Xiao Muzhen turned around and left.
Looking at her back, Huo Yunting's eyes darkened.
What he wanted to know was why Xiao Muzhen went to Qida to see Tang Ruxing?
In the police station, after Cheng Shumin recovered, she insisted that Huo Jinsong was pushed down by Xiao Muzhen.
However, the police officer did not believe her. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Ms. Cheng, giving false testimony is also illegal. According to our investigation, Xiao Muzhen and Huo Jinsong did not have any physical confrontation. Please tell the truth, otherwise you may face detention."
Cheng Shumin sneered, "I'm telling the truth. Since you don't believe me, I have nothing more to say. I won't speak again until my lawyer arrives."
She folded her arms across her chest, her eyes cold.
"Can."
Seeing the police picking up the transcript and about to leave, Cheng Shumin was stunned for a moment.
But she quickly reacted and said, "Where's Xiao Muzhen?! She's the murderer, you should interrogate her thoroughly!"
The police officer glanced at her and said slowly, "She has already completed the statement and left. If you, Ms. Cheng, had cooperated with the investigation, you should have been able to leave by now."
When Cheng Shumin heard that Xiao Muzhen had left, she was furious.
"You actually let the murderer go. What on earth do you do for a living?!"
