Chapter 574: Insignificant
In less than an hour, Xiao Muzhen was detained.
After knowing the reason for her detention, she just felt it was a little ridiculous.
Looking at the police officer opposite her who was looking at her seriously, she said calmly, "Zhen Zhiming said I beat him. Do you have any evidence? Is there a video or surveillance of me beating him? Or are there any eyewitnesses? If there is nothing, how can you prove that the injuries on his body were caused by me?"
The police officer frowned and said expressionlessly, "Being stubborn won't do you any good. If you confess, you might be able to get leniency. Otherwise, if Zhen Zhiming refuses to sign a letter of apology, you might face jail time."
Xiao Muzhen was not frightened, and there was no fear in his eyes.
"I won't answer any questions until my lawyer comes."
…
On the other side, Huo Yunting soon received the news that Xiao Muzhen was detained.
"Find out what's going on! And get her a lawyer!"
Just as Ke Ning was about to speak, the office door was suddenly pushed open and Guo Zhenzhen walked in with an angry look on her face.
"Huo Yunting, don't forget that I am your fiancée now. If you protect another woman like this, where do you put me and the Guo family?!"
Huo Yunting looked up at her coldly, "If you didn't have the Guo family behind you, based on what you did to her back then, do you think you still have the right to stand here and yell at me?!"
Guo Zhenzhen sneered, "No matter what, you were the one who agreed to the engagement in the first place. If you continue to be involved with Xiao Muzhen now, she'll be the only one who suffers. You don't want her to be accused of being a mistress, do you?"
"If you dare to do anything to her again, even the Guo family can't protect you!"
Sensing the cold and cruel aura emanating from him, Guo Zhenzhen's hands hanging by her side unconsciously tightened suddenly. She didn't expect that he would protect that bitch so much, even though she was obviously his fiancée!
Thinking of this, a hint of jealousy and hatred flashed in her eyes. After a long while, she sneered and said, "I don't need to do anything. There are many people who don't like her! But I want to advise you that if you use my fiancé's name to have an affair with Xiao Muzhen, she will be the one who gets hurt!"
After saying that, Guo Zhenzhen turned around and left.
It wasn't until the cold air around him disappeared that Koning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he also disliked Guo Zhenzhen, the Guo family was a considerable threat to the Huo family. If he really fell out with Guo Zhenzhen, it would not be good for the Huo family.
"Mr. Huo, do you want to inform the Xiao family about Miss Xiao's situation? After all, it's not convenient for you to show up in person with your current status."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yunting gave him a cold look and said, "Do as I say!"
"yes……"
Ke Ning turned and left, his face full of helplessness. It was clearly President Huo who decided to draw a line between himself and Xiao Muzhen, but now that he saw her in trouble, he couldn't stay out of it. If this continued, both of them would suffer.
In less than half an hour, Huo's top lawyer arrived at the police station.
When Xiao Muzhen saw him, his expression changed.
"Lawyer Xu, I've already contacted other lawyers. Please go back. If it's convenient, please tell Mr. Huo to stop interfering in my affairs."
Lawyer Xu sat down opposite Xiao Muzhen and said with a smile, "Ms. Xiao, you must have offended someone. Apart from me, there should be no other lawyer in Beijing who dares to take your case."
Xiao Muzhen frowned. Logically speaking, the lawyer she contacted should have arrived by now.
But Zhen Zhiming had just arrived in Beijing, and Zhen Yan had already cut off ties with him. How could he have a backer?
Seeing that Xiao Muzhen still didn't believe it, Lawyer Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Ms. Xiao, if you don't believe me, I can wait here for half an hour. If the lawyer you contacted shows up, I can leave immediately."
Seeing his confidence, Xiao Muzhen was silent for a while, but finally refused, "Lawyer Xu, whether my lawyer comes or not, I don't want to have anything to do with Mr. Huo anymore, so please leave."
"Well, since you don't want me to be your attorney, there's nothing I can do."
Lawyer Xu packed up her things and left. A moment later, the police officer who had interrogated her came in.
"Even if you don't cooperate, it's useless. We've already started investigating based on the address Zhen Zhiming gave us where he called you. Once we find out, you'll face jail time."
Xiao Muzhen's expression was indifferent. "Then wait until you find evidence and then tell me."
"You! Why are you so stubborn!"
She looked up at the policeman and said, "Do you think I, with my body, can beat a grown man like that?!"
"As long as there's evidence, it won't matter if you deny it. Besides, Zhen Zhiming has people backing him up. It won't do you any good to be stubborn now."
Hearing the other party's hint, Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but I am still looking forward to the so-called evidence."
"Okay, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
After saying that, the police left.
After Lawyer Xu walked out of the police station, he immediately called Huo Yunting.
"Mr. Huo, Miss Xiao knows that I was sent by you and doesn't want me to help her."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and Huo Yunting's cold voice finally rang out, "In that case, then find a lawyer she doesn't know."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Lawyer Xu thought for a while and made a call.
"Old Chen, what have you been busy with lately? I have something here and I'd like you to come over and help me out."
When Lawyer Chen rushed to the police station, Huo Yunting had also found out the whole story.
After knowing that Xiao Muzhen deliberately lured Zhen Zhiming to the suburbs and beat him up, Huo Yunting's face became extremely cold.
No matter what, Zhen Zhiming was still a grown man, and there was no telling what nasty tricks this thug might use. Had she not considered her own safety?! Was she so confident she could handle Zhen Zhiming?!
Seeing Huo Yunting's gloomy expression, Ke Ning felt that his whole body was shrouded in coldness.
"Boss Huo...what should we do next? This matter is also related to Boss Liang..."
Ke Ning didn't expect that in the end, he would find out that Liang Zixuan was helping Zhen Zhiming behind the scenes.
"You go out first."
After Ke Ning left, Huo Yunting immediately called Liang Zixuan.
As soon as the call was connected, Liang Zixuan's nonchalant voice came over.
"Hey... Yunting, you actually called me. I want to see if the sun rises from the west today?"
Huo Yunting's expression was icy, and his voice was devoid of any warmth. "Who is Zhen Zhiming to you?! Why are you helping him?"
Liang Zixuan was stunned for several seconds before speaking: "He is my girlfriend's brother, how do you know this?"
"He called the police and said the person who beat him was Xiao Muzhen. Xiao Muzhen is now in police custody. You can be said to have played an indispensable role in this."
Upon hearing this, Liang Zixuan knew that he was really angry, and quickly said: "I don't know about this matter. If I knew it was her who beat Zhen Zhiming, I would definitely drag Zhen Zhiming to her door and let her beat him up again!"
