Chapter 708: Nonsense
After returning home, Xiao Muzhen was about to rest when he received a call from Xun Zi.
"Zhenzhen, your dad is injured, please come to the hospital immediately."
"I'll be there right away!"
When Xiao Muzhen rushed to the hospital, Xiao Tuo's wounds had already been bandaged.
Seeing the blood-soaked gauze on his forearm, Xiao Muzhen frowned: "Mom, what on earth is going on? How did Dad get injured suddenly?"
Xun Zi sighed, "An agitated homeowner in Chunjiang Huacheng was hiding in the underground garage. When your dad was leaving get off work, he grabbed a dagger and wanted to kill himself along with your dad. Fortunately, the security guards were patrolling nearby and quickly subdued him, so your dad only suffered minor injuries."
When talking about this incident, Xun Zi still felt a lingering fear.
When she received the call from Secretary Zhou, she was almost scared to death.
Xiao Tuo on the side looked at Xiao Muzhen, "Zhenzhen, don't worry, I will ask the company to strengthen security. Your mother is just too anxious. I didn't intend to inform you about such a small matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhuan's angry voice came from the door.
"Dad, you're already injured, is this still a small matter?"
Xiao Tuo looked calm, sighed, and said, "Those owners worked hard to buy a house, but lived in a toxic house for several years. It's normal for them to feel dissatisfied and want to vent."
"This is no longer just venting frustration, it's pure intentional harm. I'll have my lawyer sue him!"
Just as Xiao Tuo was about to speak, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a group of reporters and a haggard-looking woman walked in.
The woman was holding a baby in her arms, who looked to be just one month old.
Before anyone could react, she carried the child to the bedside and knelt down with a thud.
"Boss Xiao, please let my husband go. If he goes to jail, our family will be completely finished."
Xiao Muzhen looked at the reporters filling the ward and the pitiful woman kneeling on the ground, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
The husband first attacked someone with a knife, and then asked his wife to come and plead with reporters, holding the child. What's the difference between this and putting the Xiao family on the fire?!
If Xiao Tuo forgave her husband, she would have to bear this loss in silence. Who knows if other people would do the same thing after seeing that this man was fine?
If Xiao Tuo refuses to forgive, these reporters and netizens will use the fact that Haoyu's building materials are unqualified to morally blackmail Xiao Tuo and call him heartless.
No matter what you do, you won't get any good results.
Moreover, who leaked the news that Xiao Tuo was here?
The woman was able to lead the reporter to the ward accurately, which showed that she was well prepared.
Seeing Xiao Tuo's expression of reluctance, Xiao Muzhen spoke up in advance: "Madam, your husband stabbed my father, and now you are kneeling on the ground holding your child, begging my father to let your husband go. Then I want to ask you, if my father forgives him, in addition to the letter of apology, can you also give up suing the Xiao family?"
A gleam flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she lowered her head and said, "Miss Xiao, these are two different things... If it weren't a small matter, my husband wouldn't have done such a thing in a moment of excitement after building a poisonous house and asking us to pay for it."
Xiao Muzhen chuckled and spoke slowly, "Please clarify one thing. Haoyu is a branch of the Xiao Corporation. When Chunjiang Huacheng was first built, all of the Xiao Corporation's funds were allocated to it. It wasn't the Xiao Corporation that purchased the toxic materials, but Haoyu."
"Speaking of which, the Xiao family is also a victim. They have been deceived by Haoyu for so many years, and now they are being sued by the owners."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "We, the owners, don't know what's going on inside the Xiao Group. You can say whatever you want now. We are the victims anyway, and we just want justice!"
"That's not how you ask for justice. If your husband really killed my father today, do you believe you wouldn't get a penny of compensation?"
Meeting Xiao Muzhen's sharp gaze, the woman subconsciously opened her eyes.
However, she soon realized it.
"Ms. Xiao, are you trying to bully me?! I know we are just poor people, and the house I bought in Chunjiang Huacheng is not worth mentioning in your eyes, but that was also the money my husband and I worked hard to earn, and we are still paying off the mortgage."
"When we bought this house, we borrowed several million yuan, and now we have to pay more than 20,000 yuan in loans every month. What did we do wrong?"
"I know my husband's way of seeking justice is wrong, but he was also pushed too hard... I lived in this house during my pregnancy and childbirth. If anything happens to our health or the child's health in the future, who will be responsible?!"
Xiao Muzhen looked at her calmly, "The Xiao family will take the responsibility they should take, but I will not let anyone who hurt my father go!"
The moment the words fell, a reporter beside him couldn't help but speak up: "Xiao Muzhen, don't go too far. It's already pitiful that he bought your Xiao family's drug house. That man is the only labor force in his family. If he is arrested, how will he and his son live? Are you trying to force them to death?!"
"That's right. Some people are so used to being the rich kid they are that they have no idea of their own worth and can't put themselves in other people's shoes. If you were the one who bought this toxic house, you might be even more extreme than this owner!"
"I've seen through it all. I had hoped for how the Xiao family would handle this matter, but I didn't expect that they haven't even solved the poisoned house issue yet, and now they're forcing the victimized homeowners to death. They're truly black-hearted and rotten!"
…
After hearing what these reporters said, the Xiao family members were furious. Can you hurt others just because you have the right?!
Originally, Xun Zi felt sorry for the woman and wanted to persuade Xiao Tuo to let it go, but now she was so angry that she just wanted to get this group out.
Amidst the discussion, a sneer suddenly rang out.
In an instant, all the discussions quieted down and everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Muzhen.
Seeing her mocking look, everyone became even angrier. How could she laugh? How dare she look at them like that?!
Xiao Muzhen looked at the woman on the ground with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of coldness.
"You hope my father will forgive your husband, but since you walked in, I haven't heard a single apology from you, nor have I seen the slightest expression of guilt on your face."
"It seems that in your opinion, my dad deserved to be injured this time. No matter what you did, we should forgive you."
"Just because you're a victim doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. We won't issue a letter of apology. You can leave now."
As Xiao Muzhen finished speaking, the woman's gaze towards her became as if filled with poison.
"Okay, if you're not afraid of everyone scolding you if this gets exposed, then just keep insisting on not issuing a letter of apology. I'm sure there will be more people like my husband soon!"
