Chapter 72 Knowing When to Retreat



The people Mrs. Sun brought also realized that the other party was someone they absolutely could not afford to offend, and they all made excuses to leave.

"Um... my child can't do his homework, so I went home to tutor him."

"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet!"

Some people still had a conscience and dragged the half-dead Mrs. Sun out, saying, "Mrs. Sun fainted, I'm taking her to the hospital!"

But as soon as he reached the door, he was blocked by two burly bodyguards.

Attorney Yan looked at them calmly, "It's alright, a police car will come and bring them back."

A group of people broke out in a cold sweat.

Being escorted away in a police car in public, even without committing any crime, will still lead to gossip and criticism.

They don't want to be human anymore!

Teacher Fan and the Sun family all became obedient, and Attorney Yan turned his attention to the thugs, "Tell me, who instructed you to frame Qiao Luosheng?"

In the waiting hall of the police station, Lu Zheng helped Qiao Zhen sit on a bench in the corner.

As he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, the blood in Lu Zheng's body began to boil.

"Actually, I'm fine..." Qiao Zhen tried to force a smile to show that she was okay, but as soon as she made an expression, her mouth and cheeks hurt. She could only blink her watery eyes and look at Lu Zheng innocently and purely.

Her doe-like eyes softened my heart.

In reality, he was just putting on a brave face.

Lu Zheng wiped the blood away. "Leave this to me."

Qiao Zhen lowered her eyes, hesitating slightly.

Now that things have come to this, it's obvious that the thugs who dragged Qiao Luosheng to beat someone up must have been instructed by someone else. Otherwise, what kind of thug would have the time and inclination to harm an ordinary middle school student?

It's impossible for the Qiao family to have never offended anyone when they were at the height of their power.

But as the Qiao family declined, the grudges were gradually settled, and in recent years they have not been bothered by their enemies.

Their family has always kept a low profile and never provoked anyone. Anyone who would try to scheme against them is obviously someone else.

"How many more times will this happen?" Qiao Zhen was tired, her head drooping even lower, not wanting to look at Lu Zheng.

All this trouble happened after I met Lu Zheng.

Will he be able to back down and let each other go?

"Zhenzhen." Lu Zheng suddenly leaned over, wrapped his arms around her waist, and held the petite woman firmly in his embrace.

Qiao Zhen struggled for a moment.

Lu Zheng tightened his grip on her arm. "Leave it all to me."

Qiao Zhen's face was pressed against his shoulder, her expression unseen, but her stubbornness could be heard in his low, husky voice.

No matter what they face, he will never let go, weaving a strong net around her so that she has nowhere to escape.

Qiao Zhen was annoyed and blurted out, "Then you go and sort out all the trouble, and stop letting them disturb my life!"

"Of course." Lu Zheng gently stroked her long hair.

Qiao Zhen felt a chill run down her spine, the cold making her shiver.

No, I shouldn't say that...

She realized that her words would only embolden Lu Zheng, but by the time she tried to argue, it was too late.

"Mr. Lu, I'm here to take photos of Ms. Qiao as evidence." The lawyer who came with Attorney Yan stood in front of them, expressionless in the face of their intimate embrace.

Lu Zheng asked, "Really?"

Qiao Zhen hummed in agreement and readily allowed the lawyer to take photos.

The lawyer wanted to ask her about the situation at the time, but Lu Zheng waved his hand to signal him to wait a moment.

"Mr. Lu, here are your things." Lu Zheng's special assistant, Xie Yan, ran over breathlessly, handing over a bag of ice packs and several packs of towels.

Lu Zheng wrapped an ice pack in a towel and then stuck it on Qiao Zhen's face.

Because of the towel in the middle, the coolness was just right, and the cool feeling seeped into the skin, gradually relieving the swelling and pain.

Qiao Zhen took a deep breath and said, "I feel much better. Let me tell the lawyer what happened."

Lu Zheng removed the ice pack slightly, observed the swelling carefully, and saw that it had indeed improved before nodding to the lawyer.

About half an hour later, the police station's forensic department sent a message.

By examining Qiao Luosheng's hair, it was concluded that he had never used any illegal substances.

This raises doubts about the authenticity of the text message records on Qiao Luosheng's phone.

Attorney Yan came out of the room and said to Lu Zheng, "We have already called the police, and they will be investigating soon. From the information we have so far, the person who ordered the thugs was very cautious. He wore a mask and a hat and did not show his face. The phone number he left is no longer in service."

"In addition, Mrs. Sun insisted that Qiao Luosheng and Sun Junyi had a conflict of interest and a bad relationship. She believed that the two times Qiao Luosheng was forced to step on him in the video were Qiao Luosheng's revenge. Teacher Fan said that he was not very clear about this."

Qiao Zhen was furious. "She was the one who said before that Luo Sheng was jealous of Sun Junyi and hated him for taking away her scholarship spot!"

Attorney Yan adjusted his glasses. "She didn't want to offend either side, so she changed her story. It will be a bit difficult to get through to her; you could ask her classmates for advice."

“This…” Qiao Zhen thought of the last time Qiao Luosheng and Lu Xiao fought, but no one dared to stand up and testify against Lu Xiao.

Although graduation is imminent, the fear of the school and teachers over the past three years has become a habit. Adhering to the principle of "it's better to do less than more," it is unlikely that any student will be willing to stand up and explain the situation.

"Lu Xiao, come to the address I sent you immediately."

Lu Zheng's cold command rang in his ears.

Qiao Zhen, who was standing nearby, clearly heard Lu Xiao yell, "I haven't broken the law, why should I go to the police station?"

"You must be there within twenty minutes," Lu Zheng said, then hung up the phone.
