Police station.
Mu Cidian went to inquire about her mother’s case.
Xin Zaozao reported that her mother had intentionally hit her, even attempted to kill her, and provided supporting medical evidence.
This incident would not constitute a case of attempted murder, but it could be classified as intentional assault. The severity of the punishment would depend on the circumstances and the complainant’s attitude. In other words, this could be considered a civil dispute and to put it bluntly, if Xin Zaozao did not press charges, the case could be dismissed without further action.
Mu Cidian had used his connections to bail her mother out of the police station.
Wan Quan was seething so much on the journey that her whole body was shaking.
How dare Xin Zaozao press charges against her?! ‘Where is Xin zaozao?” Wan Quan asked, “Is she still at home?”
“She left just now, don’t know where she’S gone.”
“Find her!” Wan Quan ordered. “I’d like to see what she thinks she’S made of. Still thinking she can sue me?!”
“She’s not answering her phone.” Mu Cidian said.
After inquiring about the case, Mu Cidian tried to locate her but failed.
“I don’t believe she can actually sue me. Go find me the best lawyer.” Wan Quan was dismissive.
“Let’s see if we can settle this privately first.” Mu Cidian suggested.
“What are you suggesting? That I beg her, Xin Zaozao?”
“Xin Zaozao’s evidence is compelling. We can’t win this court case.” Mu Cidian spoke frankly.
Wan Quan paused.
“Let me handle this.” Mu Cidian reassured her.
Wan Quan held herself back and spat venomously, “Xin Zaozao wants to stir up trouble, I’ll see to it that she dies.”
Mu Cidian held his tongue.
Outside the window the rain was heavy and the sky had hidden behind the darkness.
He had no idea where Xin Zaozao had gone. The maid reported that she had not returned since she left.
He could sense the changes in Xin Zaozao, how much she had changed!
After Xin Zaozao left the villa, she went to find Song Zhizhi.
She took down Song Zhizhi’s phone number and gave her a call.
They agreed to meet at a Western-style restaurant.
It was just about the time Song Zhizhi was off work
Song Zhizhi brought Luo Xiaolang with her for the meeting.
Xin Zaozao seemed to glance more than once at Luo Xiaolang.
“What do you need my help with?” After ordering their meals, Song Zhizhi asked straightforwardly.
There was no unnecessary chatter, which made the conversation come off as casual.
Xin Zaozao bit her lip, “My father left all his shares to me.”
Song Zhizhi was already aware, so she showed no surprise.
Even though she wasn’t highly concerned in her previous life, she would hear about such significant news once in a while. After all, the whole city was surprised that the Xin Group eventually fell into Xin Zaozao’s hands while Wan Quan ended up with nothing.
“I am afraid Wan Quan is going to set me up.” Xin Zaozao said.
Actually, Song Zhizhi wanted to tell her that it was probable that Wan Quan didn’t kill her father, that his death was purely accidental. Otherwise, at least in her previous life when she was still alive, Xin Zaozao hadn’t found any evidence to prove this fact.
In addition, you can deduce from the fact that the Xin Group fell into Xin Zaozao’s hands that, the Wan Quan mother and son hadn’t taken over the Xin Group. They wouldn’t be foolish enough to kill Xin He if they were yet to gain power. If they were plotting murder, they would have acted long ago instead of waiting until now.
But some thins are useless to say repeatedly. Xin zaozao would discover this persell.
She asked, “So, you want me to find a bodyguard for you?” It was easy to infer from the way Xin Zaozao looked at Luo Xiaolang.
“Yes.” Xin Zaozao nodded.
“Alright, I’ll arrange it as soon as possible.” Said Song Zhizhi, then asked, “Does it have to be a female bodyguard?”
“No, I want a male bodyguard.” Xin Zaozao was certain.
“Why?” A female bodyguard should be more suitable for personal protection.
“Men are more reliable.” Xin Zaozao explained. It was a desperate gambit, that’s why she was so resolute.
“Okay.” Song Zhizhi nodded.
At that moment, Luo Xiaolang seemed to look at Xin Zaozao. He probably was a little upset about what she said, but in the end, Luo Xiaolang was a non-meddler and thus didn’t say anything.
“How should I thank you?” Xin Zaozao asked.
“No need.” Song Zhizhi replied.
“Why are you being so kind to me?” Xin Zaozao was still defensive.
She understood the saying ‘once bitten, twice shy’. Song Zhizhi smiled, “1 want to become friends with you.”
‘What benefits can I offer you?” Xin Zaozao pressed.
‘You should be aware of the current situation of the Ye Family, even if you haven’t been involved in the business yet. Our family is going through a critical phase, I need to ally with the Consortium Group.” Song Zhizhi didn’t try to hide it.
‘Why choose me instead of Mu Cidian?” Xin Zaozao was far from stupid.
“Indeed, everyone believes that the Xin Group will fall into Mu Cidian?s hands. However, I know many things others don’t. For instance, I knew that you would go abroad, return, and inherit the Xin Group. So, from the beginning, my target was always you, and not Mu Cidian!” Xin Zaozao looked at Song Zhizhi skeptically, “Why do you know so much?”
“Do you believe in reincarnation?” Song Zhizhi’s smile deepened.
She had once asked Ji Baijian this question.
Ji Baijian thought she was crazy at that time, but now he believed her.
She thought, at this moment Xin Zaozao would probably think she was crazy too.
She heard Xin Zaozao say, “I don’t believe it.”
Song Zhizhi laughed softly.
“But, I am willing to trust you.” Xin Zaozao uttered word by word.
Song Zhizhi was taken aback.
“For me, I have lost everything once, I’m not afraid of losing anything again.”
She had nothing to lose to begin with.
Whatever lies Song Zhizhi wanted to spin, she was all in.
In any case, she had been deceived by Mu Cidian before, there was no possible scam that could shock her more.
Currently, she was helpless and alone, she needed someone to help her.
“Mm.” Song Zhizhi acknowledged with a gentle smile.
There was no need for false pretenses, time would eventually reveal a person’s true character.
The meal ended on a pleasant note.
Song Zhizhi drove Xin Zaozao home.
“Are you returning to the Xin family villa?” Song Zhizhi asked. “It’s my home.” Xin Zaozao stated, “They should be the ones to leave.”
“Right.” Song Zhizhi agreed.
The car reached its destination.
As Xin Zaozao was about to leave after thanking Song Zhizhi, Song Zhizhi called out to her.
Xin Zaozao turned around.
“Luo Xiaolang, his combat power is reliable. I’ll lend him to you for a few days,” Song Zhizhi said.
Xin Zaozao looked at her.
Song Zhizhi didn’t elaborate any further and addressed Luo Xiaolang, “Stay with Zaozao for a few days.”
“Okay.” Luo Xiaolang has always been a man of obedience.
Luo Xiaolang got out of the driver’s seat and Song Zhizhi took his place.
“Zhizhi.” Xin Zaozao called her.
From initially addressing her as Song Zhizhi to now Zhizhi, just changing a single word was a substantive transformation.
“Thank you.” Xin Zaozao said this genuinely.
Song Zhizhi smiled and drove away..
