Not to mention the name Xi Weihuan, the West Wind Law Firm alone is enough to shock people.
The policewoman knew that Ying Zijin was going to ask a lawyer to come, but she didn't expect it to be from Xifeng Law Firm.
You can’t hire Xifeng Law Firm just by spending money, especially as Shanghai is thousands of kilometers away from the imperial capital.
The female police officer took the business card and said politely, "Please take a seat."
"You're welcome. It's very simple. Just a few words. You don't have to sit down." Xi Weihuan smiled. "Miss Ying should have come here by herself, but there are some people she didn't want to see, so she asked me to come."
"Same." The female police officer nodded. "You are the client's lawyer, you can negotiate."
"Lawyer?" Zhong Manhua finally reacted. She couldn't believe it. "Whose lawyer are you?"
It's just a small matter, do you still need to hire a lawyer?
She just wanted the police to help call Ying Zijin back, why was a lawyer involved?
Zhong Manhua's heart started beating fast and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Mrs. Ying, right? I'm Miss Ying Zijin's lawyer." Xi Weihuan seemed to have just noticed Zhong Manhua. He stopped smiling and looked very cold. "I'm here to deal with your crime of slandering Miss Ying Zijin."
"I slandered her?" Zhong Manhua almost laughed. "Okay, then tell me, how did I slander her? If I slandered her, would she not have come herself?"
Xi Weihuan did not answer, but took out several documents and placed them on the table one by one.
The first document is the lost pink diamond.
"This pink diamond was auctioned at an auction in continent O. It was finally bought by Mr. Ying Tianlu for a high price of eight million and was given to Miss Ying Yuexuan." Xi Weihuan said, "If the charge of theft is fully established, the thief will be sentenced to five to ten years in prison."
Zhong Manhua interrupted him with an unhappy look: "When did I say I would sentence you?"
She just wanted to ask Ying Zijin to go home, not to really send Ying Zijin in.
Once the people arrive and are brought back to the Ying family, the rest of the matters will be handled privately.
The second document was about the crime of theft, and the amount and punishment were different.
The larger the amount, the greater the crime.
"Mrs. Ying has no evidence, but she directly said that it was Miss Ying who did it. She is guilty of defamation." Xi Weihuan pointed at the third document, his voice cold and emotionless, "According to the law, those who have the following circumstances shall be detained for no more than five days."
"For more serious cases, the offender shall be detained for a period of not less than five days but not more than ten days and fined 500 yuan."
He pointed to one of the lines, which read:
Fabricating facts to falsely accuse and frame others in an attempt to subject them to criminal prosecution or public security punishment.
Zhong Manhua was shocked and angry, and she laughed out of anger: "So, you have evidence that she didn't do it?"
"Madam Ying, I must remind you that you are the plaintiff and you are the one who needs to provide evidence." Xi Weihuan said calmly, "If you cannot provide evidence, you will be convicted of defamation."
He turned around and pointed at the confession on the table: "This is the evidence of your slander."
The female police officer also nodded: "Mrs. Ying, I asked you again and again, and you said you were sure."
"I didn't mean that at all!" Zhong Manhua had no idea about this. She was agitated and blushed. "I just wanted her to go home!"
The policewoman's expression also turned cold: "That is to say, you have no evidence at all."
"I..." Zhong Manhua opened her mouth and was about to say something when her cell phone rang.
Her embarrassment was finally relieved and she answered the phone.
"Mom, where are you?" It was Ying Yuexuan on the other end of the line. "The pink diamond was found. The maid left it outside when she was cleaning to prevent it from getting damaged, and it ended up falling into the gap between the bookcases."
"I told you it wasn't my sister who did it. You didn't really go to the police station, did you?"
Zhong Manhua's whole body was cold and her face turned pale.
"Mother?"
Ying Yuexuan was still calling her on the phone, but Zhong Manhua could not hear anything and her ears were buzzing.
"It seems that the thing has been found." Xi Weihuan nodded, "Then it can be confirmed that Madam Ying, you have indeed committed the crime of slander."
He turned around and said to the female police officer, "The amount involved is too large. Ten days of detention may not be enough."
At this moment, the female police officer's impression of Zhong Manhua plummeted.
But she heard clearly that Zhong Manhua said the thief was her second daughter.
If the crime of theft is really established, wouldn't that mean sending his daughter to jail?
"Call Zijin." Zhong Manhua finally panicked, "I really just wanted her to go home, I didn't think of this."
If she was really detained and fined, where would she put her face?
How do other noble ladies look upon her?
"I'm sorry, Miss Ying didn't want to see you, so she asked me to come." Xi Weihuan smiled politely, "And I would like to remind Madam Ying that Miss Ying's household registration has been moved out of the Ying family, and the adoption relationship has been terminated."
"Legally, you are not her mother."
"Morally speaking, you are not worthy of being her mother."
These three sentences were like slaps in the face one after another, mercilessly slapping Zhong Manhua in the face.
She stood frozen in place, an unprecedented feeling of shame and anger surging up and almost drowning her.
"Of course, the process still needs to be followed." Xi Weihuan smiled again, "Please prepare a lawyer, Madam Ying. We'll see you in court. But it's useless for you to prepare one, and tonight——"
He said with regret: "It seems you will have to stay here overnight."
——
After Xi Weihuan left the police station, he picked up his phone and made a call: "Hello, Miss Ying, everything has been done."
"Thank you for your hard work." The girl said in a calm voice, "I will transfer the money later."
"Miss Ying, you are too polite." Xi Weihuan shook his head, "You are also my savior, so of course I will do this little thing for you."
He took on the last cyberbullying case because the lawyer firm assigned him the task.
But everything that happened afterwards was done willingly by him.
His mother suffered from severe migraines and had visited several hospitals but there was no improvement.
It was Ying Zijin who gave him a prescription that cured his mother's illness.
"Let's put it this way." Ying Zijin yawned, looking lazy. "Anyway, thank you."
She hung up the phone and turned her attention back to the TV.
It's eight o'clock now, which is the time when the melodrama is going to be broadcast.
Wen Tinglan was doing logic problems on the side, occasionally looking up to glance at the computer.
Either you see the concubines in the harem quarreling with each other, or you see the heroine threatening to jump into the river or hang herself.
But his sister seemed to be very interested.
“…”
Wen Tinglan glanced at the question he was going to do with an expressionless face.
He felt he was being exploited.
After finishing another logic question, Wen Tinglan raised his head and said, "Sister."
"Um?"
“Is it really beautiful?”
"It's OK." Ying Zijin propped up his chin with his hand and murmured, "The plot is a bit bland. I can guess the ending by watching the beginning, just to kill time."
Wen Tinglan silently swallowed back the words "I think this is already very ridiculous" and resigned himself to continuing to write the questions.
Ying Zijin looked at the heroine in the play thoughtfully, and remembered that she also had an entertainment company.
Thinking of this, she picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to her female secretary.
[Recently, the company has sent me a copy of every film and television script. 】
——
Upon learning that Zhong Manhua was in the police station and was detained, Ying Yuexuan ran over immediately without having time to tell Ying Zhenting and Ying Tianlu.
When they saw each other, Ying Yuexuan was confused: "Mom, why are you being detained?"
Zhong Manhua pursed her lips, her face still hot, and she didn't know what to say.
She really didn't think that things would come to this point.
Zhong Manhua forced a smile and said, "Your sister didn't come. She sent her lawyer to say that I was guilty of defamation, so I will be detained. Go call your father and eldest brother."
"Slander?" Ying Yuexuan thought about it and understood, "Mom, how could you slander your sister?"
Zhong Manhua's face was not very good: "I didn't think about it. I just wanted her to go home. It's not good to be outside every day."
She couldn't see and had no idea who Ying Zijin was hanging out with all day long.
What if something goes wrong?
Who will clean up the mess?
Do you really think you can get away with it by severing the relationship?
When the time comes, when others come to you, they will still be looking for the Ying family.
"Mom, you really went too far." Ying Yuexuan took a breath and spoke, "Originally I didn't agree to post that Weibo. It was you and Dad who said that if we didn't post it, the Ying family's business would be affected, so I posted it."
"But you have never thought that it was your sister who was really abandoned by your aunt."
"There is no difference." When mentioning Ying Zijin, Zhong Manhua's expression became even more indifferent. "Have you ever seen a daughter who wants to send her mother to the detention room?"
She pressed her head and said, "Your father is too busy, so you should call your eldest brother first."
