“Miss Shi Gao, you want to sue Xiang Yang for intentional assault, right?” Yun Nan asked lightly.
Shi Gao smiled coldly, pointed at Chen An’s head, and replied, “She hurt him! That’s a fact!”
Yun Nan looked at her and enunciated word by word, “Then we’ll sue Miss Shi
Gao for false accusations. I have a bunch of witnesses who can prove that Miss Shi Gao has caused trouble for Xiang Yang on different occasions and insulted her!”
Shi Gao rushed to her feet and pointed at Yun Nan, saying, “That’s utter nonsense!”
Yun Nan took two steps forward, faced Shi Gao’s outstretched finger, and nonchalantly remarked, “What did I say that’s utter nonsense? You claim that Xiang Yang assaulted someone and your cousin’s injury is proof. I say that you’re slandering her, and I have witnesses. So, how about it? Worst comes to worst, we’ll just both suffer!”
Shi Gao looked at Yun Nan’s provocative gaze and suddenly calmed down. She withdrew her finger and stated coldly, “Just us suffering? Yun Nan, you think too highly of yourself. How dare you take on such a lawsuit for the Shi family?! Did you forget Shi Kels identity? Even if the Shi Corporation can afford such a scandal, Shi Ke can’t have a wife with a spotted record! He’s an active soldier.”
Yun Nan’s heart trembled, but her expression remained unperturbed. “As expected, Miss Shi Gao is doing all this for my brother-in-law. Then, I understand. Miss Shi Gao, you’re secretly in love with my brother-in-law and want to be the other woman, right? You want to wreck their marriage. You still haven’t given up even though Shi Ke and Xiang Yang have been married for many years. You want to break them up and replace Xiang Yang, and for that, you’re actually willing to use such underhanded methods to frame my sister-in-law?!”
Shi Gao didn’t expect Yun Nan to be so difficult to deal with; she was more unrestrained with her words than her. Shi Gao was so angry that her face paled, and her entire body trembled. She shouted, “I’m not the other woman! I met Shi Ke before Xiang Yang did!”
“So what?” Yun Nan sneered. “My brother-in-law still married Xiang Yang. He doesn’t like you because you’re nasty and vicious. No one would be willing to marry a malicious woman like yourself!”
Shi Gao grabbed the glass of water on the table the police officer had poured for them and splashed it on Yun Nan.
Shi Nian was shocked and subconsciously rushed over to shield Yun Nan. He was afraid that it was a glass of hot water. However, Yun Nan had expected Shi Gao’s actions. She pushed Shi Nian away and stood there, taking the watery assault head- on.
It was a full glass, and the water was warm. Yun Nan’s hair, face, and the clothes on her chest were all wet. Shi Gao was stunned; she didn’t expect Yun Nan not to dodge.
The young policeman was even more startled. From the moment Yun Nan opened her mouth, these two women had been arguing back and forth, and no one else could get a word in. Even Shi Nian didn’t manage to save Yun Nan from that splash of water.
Dripping wet, Yun Nan looked at Shi Gao and suddenly smiled. She looked at Lawyer Yang and asked, “Can I press assault charges on Miss Shi Gao? If that was boiling water, I would end up disfigured now.”
Lawyer Yang really wanted to give Yun Nan a standing ovation. ‘ This Second Young Madam doesn’t play by the rules at all!’ he thought. ‘However, it’s so satisfying seeing her take that woman down a peg!
All the rules in this world were set for rule-abiders, and those with evil intentions would alwavs test the boundaries of the rules and hurt those who followed the rules. Sometimes, the law was useless.
So, how could you punish such evil-doers?
There was another way, especially when you’re dealing with crooks and the unreasonable. Use lawlessness to deal with lawlessness, fight evil with evil, use hoodlums against hoodlums, and defeat magic using magic.
Lawyer Yang tried his best to control his facial expressions. It wouldn’t do for him to appear jubilant at a time like this.
“Yes, Miss Yun Nan!” he said levelly. “You have the right to do so.”
Yun Nan smiled. “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Lavvyer Yang to be my lawyer. ”
The dazed young policeman recovered and stuttered, “You—you—”
He didn’t know what to say. Shi Nian said gently, “Officer, it’s fine. Just handle the case you’re handling as you normally would. This is another matter that we’ll handle ourselves. We won’t waste the police’s time and resources.” Lawsuits weren’t within the police’s jurisdiction after all.
Chen An was dumbfounded. He looked at Yun Nan with a gaze close to worship, thinking, ‘ This little beauty is really too remarkable. Not only is she hot looking, but herpersonality is also hot!’
Shi Nian unhappily pulled Yun Nan close and shielded her from Chen An’s sticky gaze. He took tissues from Yun Nan’s bag and handed them to Yun Nan. He softly said in a voice that everyone could hear, “Alright, we have our witnesses and physical evidence. You don’t have to stay wet like this. Dry yourself quickly, or you’ll catch a cold.”
‘Is he saying she’ll catch a cold because ofa glass of water? Isn’t Second Young Master Shi’s doting behavior too much? the others thought.
The ShiA family’s lawyer rushed to the police station and was stunned when he saw Shi Nian. He turned around straightaway to go outside to call his boss without speaking to Shi Gao..
