Meng Ning really couldn't remember what she had done. Gu Changming walked confidently into the police station; as the complainant and victim, he easily gained entry. Meanwhile, Meng Ning was stopped outside and informed that Fu Tingxiu couldn't be released on bail. Staring at the police station doors, a sense of helplessness washed over her. As a nobody, she felt utterly powerless in the face of adversity. Without money or influence, she doubted she could even afford a legal battle, as Gu Changming had pointed out.
Thinking of Fang Qiong, who could afford a house in Shuimu Tiancheng and was Fu Tingxiu's distant relative, Meng Ning hurried back to find her, hoping she might have a way to help Fu Tingxiu.
After Meng Ning left, several luxury cars approached the police station from the opposite direction. They parked in a neat row at the entrance, and from them emerged Fu Boxuan. Upon learning that Fu Tingxiu had been taken away by the police, he immediately rushed over with his entourage. The CEO of Shengyu Group getting involved in a police case was sure to cause a stir.
Accompanied by a dozen bodyguards and their family lawyer, Fu Boxuan marched straight into the police station, intimidating even the officers inside. Gu Changming, finishing his statement and stepping out of the interrogation room, was taken aback by the sight in the lobby and sensed trouble brewing.
Fu Boxuan noticed Gu Changming and glanced at him, causing Gu Changming's heart to skip a beat. A police officer reminded Gu Changming, "You can go now."
Gu Changming nodded, adjusted his glasses, glanced once more at Fu Boxuan's group, and walked out. He felt confident that he would ensure Fu Tingxiu went to prison and make Meng Ning regret, anticipating her coming back to plead with him again.
Meanwhile, Fu Boxuan rushed in to resolve the situation. Meng Ning was desperately seeking help from connections, while Fu Tingxiu himself was calmly having tea with the police chief in his office. After understanding the situation, the chief immediately assured Fu Tingxiu, "Mr. Fu, this is a misunderstanding. My officers were mistaken, and I will have them issue apologies."
"They are just doing their duty." Fu Tingxiu's voice was deep and firm. "Director Wang, I apologize for disturbing you so late."
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Director Wang replied, clearly flattered.
At that moment, a police officer entered and reported, "Director Wang, Mr. Fu, I've allowed Gu Changming to leave."
Director Wang looked to Fu Tingxiu, awaiting his instructions.
"It's too late now. Thank you for the tea, Director Wang," Fu Tingxiu stood up. He had no intention of using his authority to keep Gu Changming at the police station.
"Cutting to the heart, destroying what Gu Changming values most, that's the best lesson." Fu Tingxiu's tone turned cold.
Director Wang also stood up, "Mr. Fu, please."
Director Wang personally escorted Fu Tingxiu out. When Fu Boxuan saw Fu Tingxiu coming out, he approached, "Big brother."
The dozen bodyguards also shouted in unison, "Mr. Fu."
Seeing Fu Boxuan bring so many people, Fu Tingxiu raised an eyebrow, "Go back."
With that, Fu Tingxiu stepped forward, followed by a dozen bodyguards, their momentum formidable.
Director Wang escorted Fu Tingxiu all the way to the door. Fu Tingxiu said, "Director Wang, you may stay."
Director Wang stopped, standing respectfully aside, watching as Fu Tingxiu got into the car and gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The local director also wiped away a cold sweat. "It's lucky the Fu family didn't blame us."
Director Wang admonished, "Next time, use your head more. Don't make me clean up your mess every time."
The local director repeatedly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, Director Wang. What about this case..."
"What case? That Gu Changming provoked the incident himself. He's got some nerve to come and file a report. Losing a tooth counts as serious injury, Grade Two. With all his ability, why isn't he in heaven?" Director Wang remarked, "The case is closed."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Fu Tingxiu sat in the limited edition Rolls-Royce, his expression handsome yet cold.
"Big brother, who's the idiot that got you into this mess?" Fu Boxuan suddenly remembered seeing Gu Changming in the lobby and asked, "Was it the guy who just left the police station?"
Fu Tingxiu ignored Fu Boxuan, took out his phone, and made a call. "Before dawn, Changming Law Firm in Beijing will disappear."
