Chapter 259: The Villain’s Tool Aunt (5)
Zhou Wen also looked gentle and refined, and wore glasses, looking like a gentleman. He also wore a suit, looking like a social elite, and it was easy for him to win the favor of others. At least the passers-by who had just been scared by him, when they saw him, their anger was extinguished unconsciously.
When a person with a good appearance does something wrong, others will involuntarily make excuses for him, not to mention that Zhou Wen is also a very good pretender.
"It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, you acted quickly and no one was hurt. You didn't mean it." Before Huo Shichu could say anything, the people next to her forgave Zhou Wenye on her behalf.
Huo Shichu didn't waste any more time talking to him and immediately called the police.
Zhou Wen also saw her actions, and the pretended guilty expression on his face almost couldn't be maintained, but fortunately he quickly returned to normal. As a person who almost had a car accident, he couldn't stop Huo Shichu from calling the police, otherwise wouldn't it be obvious that he had something to hide?
Now he could only pray that the inspector would see that this was just a minor accident with no casualties and would mediate the matter without further investigation. Otherwise, if the inspector found out that he had caused the accident on purpose, he would be in big trouble.
After all, Zhou Wen was a thoughtful man, so he quickly calmed down and was still thinking about continuing to win Huo Shichu's favor.
"How about I take you to the hospital for a check-up?" Zhou Wen suggested worriedly.
Huo Shichu didn't even have a scratch, and Zhou Wen was a little disappointed, but he still didn't want to give up. If there was no chance, he would create one to get along with her. He was very thoughtful.
But Huo Shichu didn't want to cooperate with him. Zhou Wen knew that he had bad intentions since he could think of using such an unethical method to meet her by chance. She would have to be stupid to get involved with him.
"I'm sorry, I'm not injured, but I hope you can cooperate with the investigation of the police, because I think this is not an accident, but you did it on purpose. You wanted to hit me, but I was more agile and escaped in time. But I will not give up pursuing this matter."
Huo Shichu's words startled the people around him. Their eyes suddenly changed when they looked at Zhou Wenye, and they whispered, "Did this man really bump into the girl on purpose? Oh my God, this is too crazy, and he's pretending to be so guilty!"
"Who knows if he's a perverted killer? What's wrong with that little girl?"
"But they don't look like they know each other. What grudge could there be?"
"Do you have to have a grudge to intentionally hit someone? What if it's revenge against society?"
"Maybe he failed to pursue the girl and turned his love into hatred. Aren't some men like this nowadays? If they can't get her, they will destroy her!"
“How terrible…”
"Let's stay away from it, or we might get implicated."
“Yes, yes!”
…
Seeing that the people around him immediately moved away from Zhou Wenye, they looked at him as if he were a murderer, with a defensive look on their faces.
Zhou Wen's forehead was almost covered with sweat. He quickly pretended to be shocked and said to Huo Shichu, "Miss! You misunderstood me. I really didn't mean to hit you. It was just that a flying insect happened to hit my eye when I was driving just now, so I accidentally got into a car accident. Believe me, why would I want to hurt you?"
Huo Shichu looked at his anxious look and sneered, "Who knows? You have to ask yourself. Go and tell Jingcha these words. I won't believe them anyway."
When Zhou Wenye was planning this, he took all the possible situations into consideration: if Huo Shichu was injured and he sent her to the hospital, he could take the "love grows over time" approach of caring and accompanying her; if Huo Shichu was not injured but was very angry with him, he could chase her and apologize until he moved her with his "sincerity", or he could take the "no fight, no acquaintance" approach of being enemies...
But he never expected that Huo Shichu didn't want to accompany him on any of the routes, but took the one that was beyond his expectation: calling the police.
People with guilty consciences are most afraid of facing public power, not to mention that he really did it, and Huo Shichu caught him with evidence and told him clearly that he suspected he wanted to hurt someone intentionally.
Zhou Wen was also a little panicked, but his face still showed that "feeling wronged because of being misunderstood" and he said to Huo Shichu:
"Miss, you really misunderstood me. I am a good citizen who abides by the law and will not do anything illegal. And I have already said that I want to send you to the hospital for examination. I will pay for your examination fee, medical expenses and lost wages. I will never evade my responsibility. There is no need for us to waste police force on such a trivial matter..."
Huo Shichu coldly watched him trying to persuade him with eloquent words to give up the idea of letting the inspector intervene. He looked at him as if he were a clown, as he was so anxious but couldn't even show it.
The inspector arrived soon, and Huo Shichu told them truthfully that he suspected Zhou Wen had also attempted to murder her, and hoped that the inspector would conduct a thorough investigation and give her justice.
As a result, Zhou Wen failed to gain anything and was taken away by Jingcha.
If he dared to hit her with his car, he would have to bear the consequences. Not to mention that he would control the scale and would not really hurt her, who could guarantee that his car would not lose control? If there was an accident, would Huo Shichu have to bear his harm innocently?
It is most appropriate to send this kind of scum who is full of bad intentions to the Jingchao Bureau.
Zhou Wen also annoyed him a bit, so Huo Shichu shortened the time he spent shopping at the supermarket and bought daily necessities early and returned home.
Recently, several companies in the entertainment industry jointly organized a script competition. Huo Shichu was interested in this and wanted to write an article to submit to see if it would be recognized by professional judges.
So she secluded herself and tried to write scripts. During this time, many of her former "friends" called her to invite her to parties or shopping, but she refused. Even Old Lady Huo and Huo Zheng called her, asking her to go home in both explicit and implicit ways.
Why did he want her to go home? Huo Shichu knew without thinking that he still wanted to use her!
Perhaps Huo's mother didn't expect that after cutting off Huo Shichu's financial support, she would still be able to live out there, and she had no intention of going home to beg her for mercy. But the company couldn't wait any longer, so she had to "humble herself" and call Huo Shichu in person, hinting that if Huo Shichu was willing to come home, she would forgive her for running away from home this time.
It was obvious that she needed a favor from Huo Shichu, but she still acted condescendingly and pretended to be kind, saying "I forgive you", "The marriage is for your own good", and "Family members should support each other", in an attempt to make Huo Shichu go back and accept her arrangements and be used by her obediently.
If it was the original owner, who had longed for maternal love since childhood but never received it, then Huo's mother's tricks might have deceived her. But for Shi Chu, who had no feelings for Huo's mother at all, Huo's mother's actions were meaningless and even annoying.
