Chapter 558: Can’t Say It
Because of the previous example of Lu Chenran, no one present dared to plead for Zhong Mengxuan anymore, for fear of being taken out on by the emperor.
Even Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu, as parents, did not dare to say anything.
Lu Yichen had simply ignored Lu Chenran's plea just now, and even said such words. This was the treatment his nephew received when he spoke, not to mention that they were outsiders!
After calling the police, everyone stayed in the lounge, waiting for the police to arrive.
Everyone's face looked unhappy.
Everyone had been busy all day preparing for the engagement party. Now that the party was over, they couldn't go back and rest because of something like this. As a result, few people looked refreshed.
However, now that the elders from the Lu and Zhong families have not left, the younger generations naturally do not dare to casually ask to leave first.
Zhong Mengxuan, on the other hand, had collapsed on the ground, her eyes dull and she looked like she was about to collapse.
Zhong Nianyao nestled in Lu Yichen's arms, looked at Zhong Mengxuan, and suddenly spoke, "What on earth was that on the blade that you used to cut me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Zhong Mengxuan.
However, they did not understand what Zhong Nian Yao meant.
Zhong Mengxuan raised her head and looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes filled with madness and pride. "Zhong Nianyao, you really want to know, right?"
"I just won't tell you. You're going to send me to jail, so why should I tell you? Unless you're willing to let me go this time, then maybe I can tell you."
"Also, this thing was given to me by someone else. As long as you are willing to let me go this time, I will tell you everything you want to know."
This was her last chance, and she absolutely couldn't let it slip away. Otherwise, she would really go to jail.
Zhong Nianyao raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Mengxuan. Her face was expressionless at first, but in the end, she broke into a brilliant smile, "That sounds like a good deal!"
Under Zhong Mengxuan's expectant gaze, the smile on Zhong Nianyao's face grew wider, but the words she said were particularly provocative. "However, I don't like this deal! If you don't want to talk about it, then there's no need to talk about it. As for who the person behind you is, I think I should be able to find out. And-"
"Do you really think you have a chance to reveal the person behind you?"
From the beginning to the end, she only wanted to know what was on the blade, but she did not intend to ask who gave it to Zhong Mengxuan because she had a feeling that asking would be pointless.
She always had a vague feeling that the person behind Zhong Mengxuan this time might be the same person as the person behind Shen Yixue before.
If that was really the case, then there was really nothing she could get out of asking. So, she didn't waste her breath. She only wanted to ask what was on the blade, not who gave it to her.
Zhong Nianyao's reaction was completely beyond Zhong Mengxuan's expectations. She became anxious, "Zhong Nianyao, do you really not want to know? There's someone watching you from behind, plotting against you. Can you really feel at ease?"
"I don't want anything now. If you let me go this time, I will tell you who gave it to me. Everything I say is true, and I won't hide anything."
"unnecessary."
Zhong Nianyao shook her head in the face of Zhong Mengxuan's expectant eyes. "I will personally pull out the rat hiding in the gutter behind you. As for you, it's time to pay the price for what you've done."
"No, Zhong Nianyao, if I don't tell you, you definitely won't know who it is." Zhong Mengxuan said quickly, "You'll never find that person in your life. I can leave the Zhong family, stay away from you, and even never appear in front of you again. Just let me go this time! I don't want to go to jail."
"Okay, then answer me a question first." Zhong Nianyao looked at Zhong Mengxuan and said, "What on earth is that thing on the blade?"
Hearing this, Zhong Mengxuan was speechless for a moment, unable to answer at all. Because she didn't know what it was.
"Mengxuan, hurry up and tell me!" Li Yiqiu, who was standing by, was getting a little anxious. "Do you really want to go to jail?"
"But...but..." I don't know!
Zhong Mengxuan was also helpless.
"You don't know, right?" Zhong Nianyao said bluntly, "So, you can't even name the person behind this. That person had already planned everything when he was looking for you."
"Impossible." Zhong Mengxuan didn't believe it at all, "Yes—ah!"
Zhong Mengxuan covered her throat, feeling a burning sensation. She then discovered that the burning sensation would disappear as long as she didn't intend to say that name.
Then, she was horrified to discover that whenever she tried to tell who that person was, her body would have problems.
This discovery made her feel horrified.
To those around her, Zhong Mengxuan was just dancing around, but she never mentioned the so-called person behind her. It was unclear whether there was no such person behind her, or whether she simply couldn't express herself.
"You can't tell, right?" Zhong Nianyao's voice sounded indifferently, "Since that person dared to come to you openly, she must not be afraid that you will expose her. Because she is very sure that you can't reveal her identity. So, give up!"
As soon as she said this, Zhong Mengxuan suddenly felt weak all over and sat down on the ground, looking completely disheartened.
Because at this moment, she found that she had lost even her last bargaining chip. Was she really going to face jail?
No, she wasn't willing to accept it, she wasn't willing to accept it.
No matter how much resentment and anger she felt in her heart, the police finally came and took Zhong Mengxuan away.
Attempted murder is already a serious crime, so Zhong Mengxuan will be detained for the time being.
Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu eventually followed along. Although they were disappointed with their daughter, they couldn't just ignore her. After all, this was their daughter, whom they had doted on for many years. It was impossible for them to just abandon her all of a sudden.
After Zhong Mengxuan was taken away, everyone dispersed and went home. However, the aftermath of tonight's events continued.
