Chapter 301
He didn’t expect that he just went to the forest to shoot a set of magazines, and after he got a signal out of the forest, a lot of news about Sis popped up in his phone.
That woman, Gu Manyin, actually dared to falsely accuse Sister of causing her harm, and smear Sister’s reputation on the internet.
And those reporters, netizens, and those who threw acid, he wouldn’t let any of them go!
Hearing the hidden anger in Li Chuan’s voice, Rong Shu knew that what had happened to her had made even this gentle young man angry, so she hurriedly replied, “Don’t worry, Xiao Chuan, I’m fine.”
“Are you sure you’re okay? The acid ……”
“The acid did not splash on me, many reporters saw it at the time, there should be a video online, you can see the video, I really was not hurt.” Rong Shu shook her head and said.
Li Chuan lowered his eyelids, “I know, I watched it, it’s just that I’m still not at ease.”
“Rea*sured now?” Rongshu smiled lightly.
Li Chuan hmphed, “Rea*sured, it’s good that you’re alright sis, leave the next thing to me, I’ll take care of it.”
“Huh?” Rong Shu was a little confused, “What do you mean Xiao Chuan, what do you want to do?”
Li Chuan narrowed his eyes and smiled a little, his smile not reaching his eyes, “Sister, you will soon know, in short, I will make all those who treat you badly, pay the price!”
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
“Xiaochuan? Xiaochuan?” Rongshu shouted twice, seeing no response on the phone, she hurriedly brought the phone to her heel to take a look.
Seeing that the phone interface was the main menu, she realized with clarity that the phone had long been hung up by him, “This kid ……”
I don’t know how, Rong Shu heart inexplicably some uneasiness, always feel Xiao Chuan after that sentence, foreshadowing the next big thing to happen.
I hope it’s not that she’s overthinking it.
“What’s on your mind, sad frown?” Fu Jingting’s low voice, mixed with concern, came to her ears.
Rongshu snapped her phone back down, “Nothing, why did you come in? Those reporters ……”
“They’ve been expelled from the police station.” Fu Jingting took a seat next to her.
“You had the police department do it?” Rong Shu looked at him sideways, “Those reporters were outside for so long before, the police department didn’t even expel them, the chances of expelling them now are not very good unless someone intervenes.”
When Fu Jingting saw that she had guessed the truth so quickly, he laughed lightly, “It’s me, you’ve been inside for so long, I was worried about you and didn’t want to wait in the car, so I had the police station drive those reporters away, but that’s only one of the reasons.”
Rongshu wrinkled her brows, “There were other reasons?”
Fu Jingting nodded, “Grandma just called.”
Rongshu’s back straightened, “What did grandmother say?”
“Grandmother also knows about what happened today, she is very worried about you, so she called you specifically, but your call didn’t go through, so she called me and asked me about you.” Fu Jingting folded his legs gracefully.
Rongshu smiled warmly, “I’m grateful to her old man for thinking of me, but how did she know you were with me?”
“The online video, she recognised that the person who saved you was me.” Fu Jingting returned.
Rongshu lifted her chin in a daze, “So that’s how it is.”
Other people might not recognise Fu Jingting, but as her own grandmother, it was impossible for the old lady not to recognise her.
“I know, thank grandmother for her concern for me, I will go to the old mansion to see her in a few days.” Rongshu said as she rubbed her brow.
Fu Jingting responded, “Good, I’ll come and pick you up then.”
“No, it’s not like I don’t know where the Fu family residence is, I can just go there myself, what’s the point of you coming to pick me up.” Rongshu lowered her eyes and said in a light voice.
Fu Jingting pursed up his thin lips and didn’t say anything.
He knew that she really just didn’t want to go with him.
The two of them had nothing to say again, and there was silence.
After a few moments, a police officer came over, “Miss Rong, the results of the interrogation of the person who threw acid at you have come out!”
Hearing this, Rong Shu immediately stood up.
Fu Jingting also followed suit, “What is the result? Was he bribed by someone? Or did he have an axe to grind with Rongshu?”
These were the two questions that Rongshu wanted to know the most, and her two eyes were fixed on the police officer, waiting for his answer.
The police officer shook his head, “Neither, this man was not bribed, and he has no enmity with Miss Rong.”
“Then why did he do it?” Rong Shu’s good-looking eyebrows were wrinkled tightly.
When Fu Jingting saw this, he wanted to reach out and smooth it out for her, but thinking that she would avoid it, he finally gave up and only softly advised, “Don’t frown, it doesn’t look good.”
Rongshu gave him a sidelong glance, thinking that he was baffled.
She didn’t care if she frowned or not.
What did he care about?
Ignoring Fu Jingting, Rongshu returned her gaze to the police officer.
The officer straightened the police cap on his head and replied, “This man’s name is Li Fan, a high school cla*smate of Gu Manyin’s and also Gu Manyin’s admirer, his family is in the chemical business, all of them are able to get things like sulfuric acid.”
“So that’s how it is.” Rongshu pursed her red lips.
She had said that something like sulfuric acid was a forbidden substance, so how could ordinary people get it?
It turned out to be the reason for the family.
Fu Jingting spoke with a gloomy face, “That person, just because he had watched Gu Manyin’s dynamic and live broadcast, all came to seek revenge on Rong Shu?”
“Not really, it was mainly that phone call from Gu Manyin.” The police officer said.
Rongshu clenched her palms and spoke at the same time as Fu Jingting, “What phone call?”
“According to Li Fan’s account, Li Fan said that Gu Manyin had made a phone call to him before the live broadcast, in which Gu Manyin cried about what had happened to her, saying that she was in pain and wanted to die, Li Fan advised her not to be impulsive, Gu Manyin then said that she didn’t want to be impulsive either, but when she saw that her enemy was still alive in the world, she couldn’t calm down.”
“Then, Li Fan brought the acid to me?” Rongshu asked through clenched teeth.
The police officer nodded, “That’s right, that’s pretty much it.”
“Gu Mangyin this is already considered deliberately instigating a crime, right?” Fu Jingting suddenly said.
The constable nodded again, “Yes.”
Rongshu bit her lower lip tightly, her body shivering with anger.
What a way to kill someone with a knife!
Not only was Gu Manyin now smearing her online and framing her, but she was then using her own admirers against her, a two-pronged attack, a really, really clever tactic.
“Based on this, can Gu Manyin be arrested?” Rongshu looked at the police officer and asked very urgently.
The officer shook his head, “Not for the time being, at the moment we only know that Gu Manyin may have wronged you, Miss Rong, and her abetting of Li Fan, but that does not constitute a condition for arrest.”
Rong Shu’s face sank.
Not constituting a condition for Gu Manyin’s arrest, it seemed that for the time being, she couldn’t use legal means to clean up Gu Manyin, so she could only use the same means Gu Manyin had used against her to deal with Gu Manyin!
But she also admires Gu Manyin, every time Gu Manyin makes a bad move, she hides behind the scenes and uses others to strike, while Gu Manyin herself, is always clean, so that no one can catch evidence.
The fact that she is so clever is a pity that she is not using it in the right way.
Rongshu narrowed her eyes, then asked, “By the way, that Li Fan, can I meet him?”
“No, Li Fan has been officially ordered to be held in custody, so no one can see him except his lawyer, not even the victim, but he can wait until the court session.” The constable explained.
Rongshu squeezed the corners of her mouth, “I see, thanks, I’ll take my leave then.”
“Okay.” The constable nodded her head.
Rongshu glanced at Fu Jingting and the two left the police station.
Chapter 302
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Gu Manyin was also taking notes on the investigation, and two police officers, a man and a woman, were sitting by her hospital bed and were asking her questions.
“Miss Gu, I’m confirming that you do think that Miss Rong had someone do it to you, right?” The male police officer looked at Gu Manyin with deep eyes.
Next to him, the female police officer was recording with a tape recorder.
Gu Manyin nodded with certainty, “Of course!”
“If it turns out that it’s not Miss Rong, Miss Gu’s actions will become false accusations, damaging other people’s reputation, and you will be legally liable to pay for moral damages, are you sure?” The male police officer deliberately aggravated his tone and said in a serious manner.
When Gu Manyin heard the words “legally liable”, her heart thumped, and she immediately remembered what she had seen on the live broadcast earlier, when Rong Shu said that she would be able to produce evidence tonight to prove that she had not harmed her.
She was now worried that Rong Shu would really be able to produce it. She had asked her lawyer and once Rong Shu could really produce evidence to prove her innocence, then she would be guilty of false accusation and would be jailed for up to three years.
She had initially planned this play because she thought that Rongshu had no evidence and could not produce it, but now, she was a little unsure.
But she had already come this far and there was no way back, so she could only go on with her head and gamble that Rong Shu had only said that on purpose.
Thinking, Gu Manyin gathered down the uneasiness in her heart and nodded with a smile, “Sure.”
“Okay.” The male police officer stood up, ready to take his leave.
Just then, the female police officer’s mobile phone rang.
She took it out and glanced at it, handing it to the male constable, “Captain, it’s from the station.”
The male constable took the phone and answered it.
Two minutes later, his brow furrowed and his eyes gave Gu Manyin an odd look.
Gu Manyin was a little flustered by his look, but she quickly calmed down again and pretended that nothing was wrong.
“Understood, I’ll ask.” The male police officer finished and put down his phone to return it to the female police officer.
“Miss Gu.” The male police officer looked at Gu Manyin, “Li Fan, do you know him?”
Hearing this name, Gu Manyin’s face changed slightly.
When the male police officer saw this, he immediately knew the answer.
He pushed his gla*ses, “It seems that you know, Li Fan threw acid at Miss Rong and has been placed in criminal detention, according to his statement, he would do it to Miss Rong solely because of a phone call from you, and in that phone call, your purpose of instigating him was very obvious, for this statement, do you admit it?”
Gu Manyin’s heart thudded as if it was about to jump out of her throat, and her hands and feet went cold.
She half-lidded her eyes, not daring to meet the male police officer’s sharp gaze, “Of course I don’t admit it, I did make a phone call to him, but I don’t think I was abetting him to do it to Rong Shu.”
“But according to our investigation, you hate Li Fan, you never contacted him since you graduated from high school, and today you suddenly contacted him and said that kind of deep meaningful words to him, how do you explain that?” The male police officer narrowed his eyes and examined her.
Gu Manyin suddenly covered her face and cried, “I didn’t want to, ah, such a terrible thing happened to me, my fiancé broke off the engagement with me, my parents got my sister back and were busy cultivating a relationship with her, I became an isolated person, I desperately wanted to talk to someone, but I couldn’t find anyone, just at this time, Li Fan cared about me in the group, that’s why I called and communicated with him, but ……”
“But what?” The male police officer stared at her closely.
Gu Manyin sobbed uncontrollably, “But I didn’t instigate him, I just told him my current feelings and thoughts, try to ask if you were me, wouldn’t you hate the person who hurt you to death after what happened?”
“Of course I would.” The male police officer pondered for two seconds and nodded back.
Gu Mangyin’s eyes flashed with a hint of essence and added “Since you understand my feelings, then who are you to say that I instigated Li Fan to lay hands on Rongshu? I only said I was very Rongshu and didn’t want to see Rongshu, but I didn’t ask Li Fan to do it, it was Li Fan who misunderstood my meaning, it had nothing to do with me.”
“You have a point, in that case, then I will go back to the bureau to discuss with the top, you have a good rest.”
With those words, the male police officer greeted the female police officer and left Gu Manyin’s ward.
In the lift, the female police officer handed the recorder to the male police officer, “Captain, this Gu Manyin is obviously abetting others to commit crimes, she actually denied it.”
“That’s right, she is abetting Li Fan, just now Lin team told me on the phone, after Gu Manyin’s accident, Li Fan approached Gu Manyin several times, wanting Gu Manyin to marry him, and said that Gu Manyin was already dirty, a broken shoe, who else would be willing to marry her except him? As a result, Gu Manyin held a grudge against Li Fan.” The male police officer said.
The female police officer’s eyes widened, “Captain you mean that Gu Manyin deliberately instigated Li Fan to deal with Rongshu, so that while Rongshu suffers, Li Fan will also go to jail, killing two birds with one stone!”
“That’s right, that’s what I mean.” The male police officer nodded his head.
The female police officer sucked in a breath of cold air, “God, her mind is too meticulous and scary.”
“Yeah, and she’s extremely strong mentally, just now I asked her directly if she had instigated Li Fan, she only panicked for a moment before adjusting her mind and then used her tears to muddle my question over and did so with extreme justification.” The male police officer’s face was very serious.
The female police officer sighed, “This is what makes her so powerful, clearly we all know she is abetting Li Fan, but what she said to Li Fan on the phone, and indeed does not seem to be abetting, not wanting to abet the abetting …… If Miss Rong can’t produce evidence tonight to prove her innocence, then this black pot, Miss Rong carry a definite!”
“Yes.” The male police officer nodded, “I hope Miss Rong can produce evidence, if not, the only way to catch those six men.”
“But all the surveillance in the ten kilometres around North Shore Road has been destroyed by a virus, we don’t even have basic information about those six men, so it’s simply more difficult to make an arrest, otherwise it wouldn’t have been delayed until now.” The female police officer sighed.
The male police officer pressed the brim of his hat and didn’t speak anymore.
……
Fu’s group downstairs.
Rongshu parked the car, then unbuckled her seat belt and got out.
Fu Jingting also pushed the door and got out of the car.
Rong Shu walked around the front of the car to him, “Thank you for today, here are your car keys.”
“You can drive it back, it’s too much trouble to take a taxi.” Fu Jingting looked at the car keys and didn’t take them.
Rongshu thought about it and didn’t feel polite, putting her hand down, “Then I’ll have someone drive it over tomorrow.”
Fu Jingting gave a hint.
“I’ll go first then.”
Fu Jingting gave another hmph.
Rongshu turned around, returned to the driver’s seat, reversed the car and left.
Fu Jingting stood where he was, watching her go until she was out of sight, before he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the front door.
Back at Tiansheng, Secretary Tong immediately came to Rong Shu’s office, “Mr. Rong, the delisting approval has come down, and now Tiansheng has withdrawn from the stock market.”
She handed a document to Rong Shu.
Rong Shu took it and looked at it, “Fine, you can inform the public relations department to send the news out later.”
Withdrawing from the stock market meant that from this moment onwards, Tiansheng would no longer be a listed company.
Not being a listed company, if any scandal occurs in the future, Tiansheng will no longer have the problem of its stock falling, as for the general public boycotting Tiansheng’s products ……
Rong Shu smiled, Tiansheng’s main industry is to make large machinery, and these machines are not sold to the general public, so she is not worried about sales at all.
“Okay Mr. Rong.” Secretary Tong nodded and answered.
Rong Shu closed the document and put it aside, “Also, there is one more thing.”
