Chapter 726 Panic
On the other side, Xiao Muzhen took Huo Yunting to the hospital to treat his wounds, and then asked him why he appeared at the door of Xiao's house.
Huo Yunting said calmly, "I was just passing by and saw you being harassed. I was worried you'd get into trouble."
Xiao Muzhen frowned, and after a while he said, "If you hadn't suddenly rushed out, I probably wouldn't have been hurt."
"Have I caused you any trouble?"
Meeting Huo Yunting's calm gaze, Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "Not really. Actually, I still owe you a thank you."
Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes.
I don't know when things between them became so awkward and distant.
"I don't have anything to do, so I'll go back first."
"Let me take you back."
"No, I'll ask the driver to pick me up."
"Let me take you there. After all, you got hurt because of me."
After saying that, Xiao Muzhen didn't give him another chance to refuse and walked straight towards his car.
On the way back, neither of them spoke, and remained silent until they reached the door of Huo Yunting's villa.
When getting off the car, he looked at Xiao Muzhen and said, "Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
"No, I have something to take care of later."
Huo Yunting nodded and did not try to persuade him to stay.
"Well, thank you for taking me back."
After Huo Yunting got out of the car, Xiao Muzhen quickly started the car and left.
On the way back, I received a call from Xiao Zhuan.
"Zhenzhen, I heard that Zhang Tingfang tried to hurt you with a kitchen knife, and it was Huo Yunting who saved you?!"
"Well, he was slightly injured. I took him to the hospital to get bandaged."
"That's fine. Zhang Tingfang has been sent to the police station. Zhao Jing hasn't been found yet, but she should be soon."
"Okay, I won't go over there. If there's anything happening at the police station, please let me know."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but think of the scene when Huo Yunting pushed her open at the door of Xiao's. In fact, she was touched when she saw him, but that was all.
There was no way they could be together now, and thinking too much would be of no use.
Police station.
After being arrested, Zhang Tingfang has been very uncooperative, throwing tantrums at the police and cursing at them in extremely unpleasant ways.
The police officer looked at her seriously and said, "Ms. Zhang, if you continue to refuse to cooperate with the investigation, we may have to take coercive measures against you!"
Zhang Tingfang was filled with anger and confusion. "Why are you arresting me?! Xiao Muzhen is clearly the worst person. If she hadn't joined forces with you, my son wouldn't have been arrested. You're all in cahoots!"
The police frowned and said, "Ms. Zhang, please watch your words!"
"What are you paying attention to?! Are you feeling guilty?! I advise you to let me go immediately, otherwise when I get out, I will sue you too!"
The police were speechless when looking at Zhang Tingfang. It turned out that there are still people who are so ignorant of the law.
"Ms. Zhang, you are suspected of intentional injury. Xiao's lawyer has filed a lawsuit against you, and the trial will probably be held soon. If you still maintain this attitude, Xiao will not agree to a settlement, and you may face imprisonment."
Hearing the word "jail," Zhang Tingfang wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she sneered, "Do you think I was raised to be scared?! If you dare, lock me up until I die!"
Seeing that Zhang Tingfang was not cooperating at all, the police decided to leave her alone for two days. By then, she would have a certain amount of psychological pressure and might give in.
…
Xiao Muzhen returned home and just finished making dinner when she received a call from Shi Yiheng.
"Zhenzhen, I'll be back tomorrow. My flight is at 5pm. Can you pick me up? I hope you'll be the first person I see when I get back to Beijing!"
Shi Yiheng's voice was filled with excitement and excitement that was difficult to suppress. One could imagine how much he was looking forward to returning to the capital.
"good."
"Besides, I'll have a surprise for you then."
"What surprise?"
Shi Yiheng smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen opened the dialog box of the private detective.
How's the investigation into the car accident going? Are there any results yet?
It took more than an hour before the other party responded.
[It's almost done. That car accident was indeed unusual, and the Su family was involved. We should be able to investigate it thoroughly tonight. I'll send you the information tomorrow morning.]
Seeing the words "Su family", Xiao Muzhen frowned.
If she remembered correctly, Su Baitian, the current head of the Su family, was Huo Yunting's biological father. Why would the Su family attack her? Or was it... that the car accident was aimed at Shi Yiheng?
[Okay, call me as soon as you have the results.]
After dinner, Xiao Muzhen suddenly received a call from Xun Zi.
"Zhenzhen, I heard from Ah Zhuan that Huo Yunting was injured today because he saved you?"
"Um."
Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but complain in her heart about Xiao Zhuan's big mouth for telling Xiao Tuo and Xun Zi about this so quickly.
"Luckily, it's just a minor injury. I've already taken him to the hospital for treatment. Don't worry about the capital while you're traveling. Just have fun."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Xun Zi slowly said, "He helped the Xiao family a lot before. When we get back, we'll go and thank him in person."
Hearing this, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but frown.
"Mom, there's no need to make such a big deal. I'll just buy him some nutritional supplements and treat him to a meal."
"He saved you, and that's what he deserves. I've already decided that you'll come with us when the time comes."
Xiao Muzhen was somewhat helpless, "Okay."
"Well...I won't tell you for now."
After hanging up the phone, Xun Zi looked at Xiao Tuo beside her and frowned, "Do we really have to keep this a secret?"
Huo Yunting got engaged to Guo Zhenzhen for Xiao Muzhen's antidote. From this point of view, he has never betrayed Xiao Muzhen.
Moreover, she could clearly see his feelings for Xiao Muzhen. This time, he was injured while saving Xiao Muzhen. Xun Zi felt a little reluctant that he would make such silent sacrifices while Xiao Muzhen didn't know.
Xiao Tuo's expression was also a little serious. "I suggest you don't tell her. Shi Yiheng's legs were crippled in order to save Zhenzhen. Even if you tell her the truth, with her personality, she will never cancel her engagement with Shi Yiheng and Huo Yun.
If she knew about it, it would only add to her troubles."
"But... Huo Yunting is not wrong..."
Xiao Tuo sighed, "Perhaps the two of them are not destined to be together after all."
Xun Zi lowered her eyes and said, "Forget it, these are all matters concerning young people, let them deal with it on their own."
"Well, since we're out here to have fun, just have fun and don't worry about the things in the capital."
Xiao Tuo finally had the chance to accompany his wife, and he didn't want to worry about other things for the time being.
Xun Zi rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "We've been out for a while now, and we should be going back in a few days."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife!"
"Smooth talk!"
…
Late at night, Xiao Muzhen was suddenly awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.
