"Mrs. Huo, you're here? I'm in charge." Officer Zhang had just finished looking at Zhou Yunxi's pig-faced mug and was in a much better mood now that he saw a face that was pleasing to the eye.
A young lawyer with a briefcase stood outside the police station. He looked a little familiar to Officer Zhang.
"Yo! Isn't this Lawyer Lan?"
Officer Zhang was secretly shocked. He did not expect Mrs. Huo to find the best lawyer in Nan Cheng under such short notice. Everyone knew that she had never lost a case. This was the first time he had seen her in person. She was so young.
"Hello, nice to meet you." Lan Nuo smiled and took the initiative to shake his hand.
"Mrs. Huo, please wait a moment. I'll have to get some information." Officer Zhang turned around and went in.
"All right."
Gu Yanwei raised her head and saw a few people standing beside Gu Ruochu. She had seen the woman in a suit on television before. She was the head of the best law firm in the city.
As for Gu Ruochu, she was no longer the same shy sister Gu Yanwei was familiar with. Gu Ruochu was now radiant and flawless from head to toe.
She was now an influential figure in the city, while Gu Yanwei was living under someone else's roof.
"Gu Yanwei, did your mother ask you to come over and help?" Gu Yanwei never thought that Gu Ruochu would even look her in the eye. She was momentarily at a loss for an answer and only nodded.
"Don't worry." A smile appeared on Gu Ruochu's face. "I will let my friend leave the police station safely. If you don't want your mother to suffer anymore, advise her to withdraw her lawsuit and return home as soon as possible to settle this matter privately."
Gu Yanwei was stunned for a moment before she suddenly shook her head. "Ruochu, it's not my mother who wants to sue you. Do you know who that friend of yours has offended? It's Ning Tangxi."
Gu Yanwei glanced at Chu Xinlan before rolling her eyes back on Gu Ruochu. "I'm afraid that Chu Xinlan forgot to tell you that not only did my mother call me after her car accident, she also called the Ning family. Ning Tangxi brought her child with her when she came to the police station. During the chaos between your friend and my mother, the child was injured and has just been sent to the hospital.
"Do you think that Ning Tangxi will let go of the person who hurt her child? Your friend must have caused quite a bit of trouble this time. Ruochu, you should think about how to plead on Xu Yichen's behalf."
There was a hidden meaning in Gu Yanwei's words. Gu Ruochu couldn't guess Ning Tangxi's intentions.
"You don't need to worry about me. You have experienced the consequences of going against me. If you want to continue being stupid, I won't stop you."
Gu Yanwei's expression changed. She suppressed the anger that was rising inside her.
She was no match for Gu Ruochu at all. Every time she had gone against her, she had lost. Gu Yanwei was not willing to gamble anymore.
Moreover, she could not even protect herself now. Her stay at the Ning family was getting more difficult.
"Zhou Yunxi is seeking her own death. It's none of my business how you want to deal with her." Gu Yanwei was in a hurry to get rid of her relationship with Zhou Yunxi. However, her mother, who had just finished giving her statement, heard everything.
At that moment, it was as if lightning had struck her. Zhou Yunxi's mind was frighteningly blank, and she was stunned. She could not believe that this was the precious daughter that she had doted for all those years.
She had even thought about Gu Yanwei when she had been pinned down under the car.
'Zhou Yunxi is seeking her own death...
'Zhou Yunxi is seeking her own death.'
Gu Yanwei's words kept echoing in her mind like a magic spell. Zhou Yunxi walked towards her step by step. "Yanwei, what did you say just now?"
Gu Yanwei was surprised that her mother had come out of nowhere, but she quickly regained her composure and looked away coldly.
Zhou Yunxi gritted her teeth. A combination of anger and disappointment swept through her whole being. Even her heart was chilled. She roared angrily, "Gu Yanwei, I've done so much for you, and this is how you treat me!"
