Chapter 481: Mr. Han Xi, please cooperate with the investigation
Aunt Rong just came out with the coffee. She walked towards the dining room with the carved pear wood tea tray, humming a Peking Opera tune. The rich and mellow aroma of the coffee gradually filled the living room with the steaming hot air.
"This girl, what's making such a fuss so early in the morning?"
No one took Yang Miao's exclamation to heart. Aunt Rong even said with a smile, "By the way, the indigo suit that Madam and Mr. are going to wear today, I specially bought it last night..."
Just as Aunt Rong was talking, the doorbell rang outside the villa gate.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Miao ran down from upstairs wearing only a nightgown. The door of the villa was opened from the outside, and the servant and two people stood at the door with serious expressions.
Aunt Rong's voice stopped abruptly, and the tray in her hand almost fell down.
The servant said nervously: "Sir, Madam..."
Three uniformed police officers stood at the door. The leader flashed his ID and said, "Municipal Criminal Investigation Team, Mr. Han Xi, please cooperate with the investigation."
Han Xi and Fang Li's eyes fell on the man at the same time.
The other person was wearing a neat uniform, and the star emblem on his shoulder cut through the warmth in the room on this winter morning, while the starlight brought the cold air from outside in his face.
The other one, who looked a bit older and had a relatively gentle attitude, said, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Han Xihan? We are from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Brigade. Someone has reported you for malicious imprisonment and intentional injury. Please come with us to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."
As soon as one person finished speaking, the other person immediately took out a subpoena from his briefcase.
Seeing this situation, Aunt Rong's face was no longer relaxed, and her eyes were full of worry and panic. Even Yang Miao was afraid and grabbed Fang Li's arm, shrinking tightly behind her.
Xu Fangli had not planned to go to the company today. She was casually wearing a cardigan over her silk pajamas. Seeing this, she reached out and patted Yang Miao soothingly.
She looked at Han Xi beside her. He had already packed up and was now putting on his watch without any hesitation, as if he had expected this.
"What crime are you suspected of?" Han Xi said calmly, his fingertips lightly fastening the watch strap.
"Malicious imprisonment and intentional injury."
The leading officer glanced at his notepad and said, "The informant provided several pieces of relevant evidence from July of this year, as well as the victim's specific information and a report from the victim's family. We need your cooperation and a trip."
Although Yang Miao was afraid, he still summoned up the courage to ask: "What a joke! How could my uncle..."
"Yang Miao."
Han Xi stopped her with a look and turned to look at Fang Li. "It's okay. It's every citizen's duty to cooperate with the police in their investigation. I'll go."
Xu Fangli's expression remained unchanged, but the slight tightening in her heart told her that she was actually a little worried.
She had already walked to Han Xi and reached out to adjust his tie.
The movements were skillful and natural, as if it was just an ordinary farewell before going to work.
When Fang Li's fingertips accidentally touched his Adam's apple, the man whispered almost imperceptibly, "The left drawer of my desk."
Fang Li paused slightly, then nodded: "Okay, don't worry."
Xu Fangli pushed the tie knot to the perfect position, and said softly, "Don't worry about me. I'll take care of everything at home."
The tone of their voice was just like that of an ordinary young couple.
At this moment, an ordinary family would be terrified, but Han Xi and Fang Li both had one smiling calmly and the other with gentle eyes, as if nothing had happened. They were just sending their husbands to work and giving instructions to their wives as usual.
After settling Fang Li down, Han Xi turned around and put on his shoes. Aunt Rong ran to get his coat with red eyes.
Yang Miao clutched Xu Fangli's sleeve tightly, his nails almost digging into the fabric: "Aunt, how could my uncle hurt someone? This must be a frame-up..."
"I know. I'm just cooperating with the investigation. It's okay."
Xu Fangli patted the back of her hand, her voice incredibly calm. "I might not be able to stay home with you from now on. If you're bored, ask the driver to take you to the old house. But remember to keep this a secret and don't let Grandpa know."
"Can....."
"Don't worry, your uncle will be fine."
Yang Miao bit her lip and clenched her hands with a worried look on her face.
As the police handcuffed Han Xi, Xu Fangli suddenly stepped forward and said, "I remember the Criminal Procedure Law mentioning that summons don't require weapons."
“…”
The leading police officer was stunned, obviously not expecting that she actually knew the law. After hesitating for a moment, he took back the handcuffs.
Seeing the woman defending him, Han Xi turned around and stared at her with deep eyes. Finally, he curled his lips, turned around and strode away.
When the police car drove away from the villa, Xu Fangli stood on the stone steps in front of the door. The morning light shone down, as if giving her a light golden outline.
It is clearly a warm picture, but her back gives people a thin and cool feeling.
Fang Li kept watching the car moving away. When she saw that the car was about to turn out of the manor, she suddenly took out her cell phone, took a picture of the back of the police car, and sent it to Wen Yang.
As the police car left the manor, news spread like wildfire that Han Xi, the president of Han Group, was taken away by the police for his involvement in the case.
The news seemed to have wings and spread wildly on major online platforms.
Not to mention the news about Song Yuchen's drinking scandal, even the domestic violence incident involving Zhou Hong lost all attention, and netizens turned their guns on Han and Han Xi.
Suspicions arose one after another, and soon the Internet was in an uproar.
H Hotel.
It was originally a long-planned year-end meeting, with all the shareholders and senior executives of the Han Group gathered here. However, they did not expect to see the CEO, but to receive such news.
When the news spread among the crowd, rumors quickly spread throughout the venue, and the place became a mess.
The group's annual meeting was supposed to start at 8 o'clock, but at this moment all the executives were gathered together and talking.
Several directors gathered around their phones, on which was a photo of the explosive news they had just received: a clear silhouette of Han Xi being taken away from the villa by the police.
"How could this happen?! How could President Han be involved in this case?!"
"Who knows, but the police are there, so something must have really happened, right?"
"What should we do? If this news gets out, Han's stock will definitely be affected!"
......
"Quiet!"
The meeting room was in chaos and there was a lot of quarreling. Han Ming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
"I'm just going to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Why are you so nervous?"
After all, Han Ming is the founder and former chairman of Han Group, so his words still carry a certain weight and authority.
He said calmly with a stern face, "The Ministry of Justice should immediately issue a statement explaining what happened. Just say it's a routine investigation!"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
As soon as the people from the Ministry of Justice left, the discussions started again.
"The police are already very concerned. Who would believe such a bland explanation?"
"I guess it's not a small matter, otherwise the police wouldn't dare to come and arrest him directly. I'm afraid something really happened to Mr. Han. Mr. Han's statement is completely ineffective."
