Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 357: Chapter 353: Abandon the Car to Save the General

”Mr. Handsome from the internet and your high school classmate have both been hauled off to the station. Once the interrogation results are in, they’ll be judged accordingly. Is this handling of the situation okay with you?”

Huo Sining was completely stunned by Gu Xu’s words, but she quickly regained her composure, ”The two of them were arrested? How did you find them?”

Gu Xu’s face bore a smile, ”Don’t forget what I do for a living. I’ve got plenty of people at my disposal, including several internet experts. Tracking down those two people’s IP addresses and real identities was a piece of cake.”

Huo Sining had been somewhat depressed, feeling that her boyfriend was slower than others in coming to her defense when she was in trouble. Now, hearing Gu Xu say this, she realized she had misunderstood.

Gu Xu hadn’t spoken up for her immediately, not because he didn’t care, but because he had chosen a more direct and brutal approach, heading straight to the doorsteps of Zhang Jun and Wu Jingyi.

”No wonder you were so brazen in challenging Mr. Handsome. You had already figured he wouldn’t be able to respond, right?”

Huo Sining nearly laughed and cried at the same time. She had thought Mr. Handsome had been so mouthy before, but once Gu Xu stepped in, he didn’t dare to say a fart. It turned out he had been arrested.

Gu Xu smirked with pride, ”If someone bullies my wife, of course, I have to hit back. How can I let my wife suffer? The guy was spouting bullshit, should I just find some duct tape and shut his mouth?”

With a snort of laughter, Huo Sining said, ”Can you not be so shameless? Who’s your wife? I’m not even of legal marriage age yet, and I haven’t agreed to marry you.”

Gu Xu’s spirits dipped upon hearing this, ”Wait, wife, didn’t you once say that dating without the aim of marriage is hooliganism? I’ve etched your words in my heart. Are you planning to go back on them now? Or do you intend to become a female hooligan?”

”Get lost!” Huo Sining said with a smile in her eyes, yet she couldn’t help but spit out a retort.

”There are even people on Weibo saying I’m finally getting married. How about it, wife, I’ll marry you. My elder brother can continue the family line, which is enough. I’ll quit this damn job as the executive director and beg you to support me.”

Gu Xu became increasingly shameless and limitlessly cutesy.

Huo Sining was speechless, ”Fine, didn’t Mr. Handsome say I was being sponsored? I might as well keep a pretty boy to show him!”

”Er... wife, my face is too dark to qualify as a pretty boy.”

After a bout of nonsensical bantering, Gu Xu chuckled softly, his laughter flowing past Huo Sining’s ear like a gentle stream, ”A Ning, I’m growing impatient.”

Impatient to take you home as my wife.

Huo Sining understood the meaning behind Gu Xu’s words, and the side of her face pressed against the phone instantly heated up, her whole body going soft.

Gu Xu’s words were like a spring breeze, suddenly wrinkling a pond of spring water.

While Huo Sining was basking in sweetness, Wu Jingyi was trembling with fear.

She had never anticipated that the police would show up at her door.

The terrified Wu Jingyi’s first instinct was to seek help from Liang Jinhong, but to her surprise, when she called his phone, it was a woman who answered.

”Hello, whom are you looking for?”

”I’m looking for Mr. Liang.” What a silly question, it was Liang Jinhong’s phone, who else would she be looking for?

The voice on the other end paused then replied, ”He’s taking a shower, what do you want?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Jingyi’s face instantly darkened. Woman, shower, her mind instantly went to that place, her chest felt tight, breath caught in her throat, unable to go down or come up, it took her a long while to respond:

”Would you please tell him Wu Jingyi has an urgent matter to discuss with him!”

”Got it.” The voice on the other end replied impatiently and hung up the phone directly.

Wu Jingyi was choked with anger, and after thinking for some time still couldn’t find anyone else who could help her out of trouble, she had no choice but to open the door, where promptly the police showed her their badges and asked her to accompany them to the police station.

Wu Jingyi, who had never seen such a display, was instantly scared witless and obediently followed between the two officers to the police car.

She wasn’t stupid, she may have been materialistic and loved to flaunt her wealth, but that hurt no one, and it certainly was not something the police would intervene in. Other than the recent incident where she framed Huo Sining, she had committed no other crime.

Seeing so many influencers support and stand by her on Weibo, Wu Jingyi realized that she and Zhang Jun had gotten into trouble. She had thought Huo Sining was just a powerless, poor student, but this situation had unexpectedly implicated so many people.

Jade Beauty, Su Group’s Donghua, Biological Research Institute, each name was more impressive than the last, and equally intimidating.

Wu Jingyi was shocked and filled with envy. She couldn’t understand how Huo Sining, a nobody and a fool of a student, had the connections to know so many wealthy people. Were all the rich and powerful in S City that easy to grab?

Even then, she had only given Zhang Jun a few photos and so-called pieces of evidence; how could that have brought the police to her? Could these rich people have the power to reach everywhere, even to the point of moving people in Imperial Capital at will?

Wu Jingyi was still unaware of Gu Xu’s public declaration of love for Huo Sining on Weibo, or else she would have exploded with anger.

After all, Gu Xu was a genuine high-society figure, someone she had failed to attract even with her attempts, someone who could not even be compared to Liang Jinhong’s fingertips.

Originally, at the club, Wu Jingyi had tried to seduce Gu Xu, but he didn’t give her the time of day. Now, Gu Xu had become Huo Sining’s man. If Wu Jingyi found out about this, she would surely regard Huo Sining as the mistress who stole her man.

Upon arrival at the police station, of course, there was an interrogation. Wu Jingyi had initially planned on denying everything, but the police were no pushovers.

These officers, following orders from above, had to deal with these few people seriously, so they dared not slack off and showed their true skills.

Wu Jingyi tried to bluff her way through but had only ever dealt with civilized people before, so her usual tricks were foolproof. Now, facing some seasoned police officers, what kind of people hadn’t they seen? They knew exactly which tactics to use on who.

Under the relentless grilling of several fierce-looking officers, Wu Jingyi finally couldn’t hold up and confessed everything she knew.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jun was also unlucky. Although Media Shang Magazine bore inescapable responsibility for this incident, Zhang Jun alone was the instigator.

Even the last two recordings, although posted on Media Shang Magazine’s official Weibo account, were released under Zhang Jun’s name. So they only had secondary liability; Zhang Jun was the sole culprit.

Jiang Tao was the magazine’s editor-in-chief, and he too was a businessman.

Businessmen prioritize profit and have no sense of loyalty.

Besides, Zhang Jun was just an insignificant intern at the magazine, having caused such a huge scandal that affected so many at the magazine, it was already lenient for Jiang Tao not to blame Zhang Jun, why would he protect him?

So, Jiang Tao chose a very ruthless strategy: sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot.
