Saving face meant nothing to Xiao Shuo. In front of Ye Yuning, Chen Wei, and Luo Xin, he shamelessly chose to call the police!
He had been beaten too badly, his body covered with old and new injuries. He was now intent on settling both old grudges and new scores.
If he couldn’t get Ye Yuning’s money, he’d send her to jail to enjoy the complimentary meals.
Lai Shuo called Xiao Linye, saying that Bai Su had already arrived at the company.
Xiao Linye was about to head to the company when he received a call from the police station.
The person on the other end said, "Mr. Xiao, your wife is fighting someone. Please come to the Jing’an District Sub-bureau immediately."
"What did you say?" Who was fighting? Xiao Linye thought he must have misheard or didn’t hear clearly.
The police officer on the other end said, "Your wife. Is Ye Yuning your wife?"
"She’s in a fight and is now at Jing’an Sub-bureau. You need to come over."
This time Xiao Linye heard clearly. It was that woman, usually as gentle as a kitten, who was involved in a fight!
His breathing involuntarily grew heavier. "With whom did she fight?"
"With a man named Xiao Shuo. She beat him until his head was bleeding."
Fighting with Xiao Shuo? How could she end up fighting with him?
Instantly, Xiao Linye felt his temples throbbing.
He didn’t care why they were fighting and coldly told the officer, "Don’t give her a hard time. I’m on my way."
"What do you mean, don’t give her a hard time? She put someone in the hospital!"
The irritation was clear in the police officer’s voice, seeing that her family was still spoiling her. No wonder she’s so lawless, the officer thought. Turns out she has an indulgent husband backing her up.
Xiao Linye hung up the phone, fuming, then quickly dialed another number.
He was originally heading to the company, but he turned around at the next intersection. He gave a few instructions over the phone, then called Lai Shuo.
「On Ye Yuning’s side.」
She was currently sitting opposite Xiao Shuo, a wide desk separating them.
The two officers kept glancing between Ye Yuning and Xiao Shuo, finding it hard to believe that she could have beaten him. After all, the difference in their physiques was significant.
Xiao Shuo clutched his forehead, blood smearing his face. His gaze burned with hatred as he glared at Ye Yuning, truly wishing he could devour her.
One police officer, with a stern face, asked Ye Yuning, "Tell me, what did you use to hit him?"
Ye Yuning said, "I’m waiting for my lawyer!"
"Ye Yuning, you wretched woman! You did it, but you won’t admit it, right? Dare you say you didn’t hit me with a glass milk cup?" Xiao Shuo was really furious! He now reeked of milk, making his head spin.
Wasn’t she so bold in the office earlier? And now she acts like she did nothing? It’s too damn infuriating!
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! The officer slammed his hand on the table. "Watch yourself! This isn’t the place for swearing. Get a grip!"
For a man to curse like that, his character is truly appalling!
Xiao Shuo’s chest heaved with anger.
Then the officer turned back to Ye Yuning, his expression just as grim. A woman who can beat a man ... just how agile is she? It’s a pity she’s not a police officer; she’s got potential.
As the standoff continued, an officer suddenly entered and whispered something to the female officer conducting the interrogation.
The female officer’s expression darkened instantly as she looked at Ye Yuning. "Understood."
After the other officer left, the female officer turned to Ye Yuning, her dissatisfaction clear. "You can go."
Ye Yuning was speechless. That’s it? I can leave?! Chen Wei is getting more and more efficient, she thought.
When Xiao Shuo heard Ye Yuning could leave, already seething, he roared, "What? Why can she leave? She beat me ! She should be locked up and left to rot in jail!"
Xiao Shuo was far from willing to let Ye Yuning just walk away. At this moment, his anger was intense; he wished he could lock Ye Yuning away forever.
But as he ranted, everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot. Such minor injuries, and he wants her to rot in jail? Has his IQ been eaten by a dog?
Ye Yuning stood up, gave Xiao Shuo a provocative look, and said, "Well, homewrecking young master of the Xiao family, I’m leaving!"
With her mention of the "Xiao family," the sarcasm and provocation were crystal clear, and Xiao Shuo heard it loud and clear.
This crazy woman! Xiao Shuo fumed internally. I’m not done with her!
Ye Yuning left with her head held high.
This only enraged Xiao Shuo even more.
Ye Yuning had assumed Chen Wei had gotten her out. But then she saw the distinguished man sitting in the lobby.
She tensed up and quickly glanced back at the glass doors. Seeing Xiao Shuo already on his feet, she froze completely.
She subconsciously scanned the entire lobby and did not see the highly efficient Chen Wei.
Damn it, she thought, they actually called Xiao Linye here!
