On the other end of the phone, Qiao Boyue let out a laugh. “Well, I won’t say more. Gotta hang up now.”

Zhang Lili: “Okay.”

“Lili,” Zhang Lili’s mother walked over, concerned about her daughter’s sadness over dropping out of school. She carefully comforted her, “Don’t be upset. It’s just Jingcheng University, we don’t care about that. Mom has found a school overseas for you, with much higher ranking than it. When you graduate and come back, Shen Jing won’t even be worthy to touch your shoes.”

Zhang Lili smiled smugly. She was about to go abroad, enjoying the best education, while Shen Jing had already been gang-raped and the Third Young Master of the Fu family would never want a tainted woman. However, it had been such a long time, why hadn’t those thugs contacted her yet?

“Officer, we are good people and have never done anything wrong.” Just then, there was a commotion outside the door. Zhang Lili and her mother looked towards the entrance and saw a large group of police officers striding over, with the household servants hesitantly following alongside.

Upon seeing the police, Zhang Lili’s heart skipped a beat.

“Captain Tan, what is the meaning of this?” Zhang Lili’s mother knew Captain Tan and was displeased to see him barging into their home.

“We need to ask what your daughter has done.” Captain Tan had a stern face. “Zhang Lili, you are charged with intentional assault and attempted murder. You’ll have to come with us.”

Zhang Lili’s mother instinctively wanted to refute, believing her daughter would never do such things. However, when she thought about what had happened at Jingcheng University, she became more cautious and forced a smile. “Captain Tan, is there some misunderstanding here?”

“We’ll only know after a visit to the police station.” Captain Tan remained impartial.

“Mom.” Zhang Lili trembled with fear.

Zhang Lili’s mother understood the situation when her daughter reacted like that. She gritted her teeth and said, “Captain Tan, if you take a look at our relationship, could you please give us some leeway? There must be some misunderstanding.”

“The law will determine if it’s a misunderstanding.” Captain Tan waved his hand. “I can only kindly remind you that you have offended someone you shouldn’t have.” Third Young Master Fu, that’s not someone an ordinary person can afford to offend. It’s just that the Zhang family had shown a lack of foresight this time.

Captain Tan didn’t waste any more time and had two officers escort Zhang Lili away. Regardless of what Zhang Lili’s mother said, it was of no use. Even if the Police Chief came, he wouldn’t dare to help the Zhang family!

Zhang Lili’s mother could only watch helplessly as Zhang Lili was taken away. She was extremely anxious and hurriedly called her husband, hoping he would come back soon. But before the call could go through, Zhang Lili’s father returned, and she rushed up to him. “Husband, you finally came back. Lili…”. Before she could finish her sentence, a slap landed on her face.

Zhang Lili’s father had a cold expression, filled with anger. “You still have the face to mention her to me? It’s better if she dies outside! You spend money at home every day, go shopping, and do beauty treatments. What has our daughter become because of you? Always causing trouble for me outside, this time you’ve provoked such a big shot!” The company he had painstakingly built was on the verge of destruction because of them!

…

At the Qiao residence.

Qiao Boyue had been waiting for good news from Zhang Lili, but she hadn’t received anything. She was becoming impatient, eager to see the photos of Shen Jing being humiliated.

“Boyue, come down quickly.” Qiao Boyue’s mother called from downstairs. “We have an esteemed guest arriving, you can’t lose your manners. He’s an important figure in Hua City.”

Qiao Boyue tidied herself up and went downstairs, accompanying her mother to welcome the guest with a dignified demeanor.

“Boyue, you must make a good impression, okay? He is a significant figure in Hua City, and if you can win his favor, you’ll have a powerful backer in the future.” Qiao’s mother looked satisfied as she observed Qiao Boyue, who was wearing a fitted floral dress, exuding a gentle and graceful aura that would appeal to anyone who laid eyes on her.

“Okay.” Qiao Boyue nodded.

As they spoke, a black Mercedes slowly approached. Qiao’s mother and Qiao Boyue instinctively straightened their postures.

The car door opened, and a stern-faced man alighted first, then walked around to the back seat, respectfully opening the door.

“Grandfather Mu!” At her mother’s signal, Qiao Boyue quickly stepped forward to help Old Master Mu out of the car.

Old Master Mu nodded. After receiving treatment from Shen Jing, his health had improved significantly.

Qiao’s mother welcomed Old Master Mu into the mansion, and the servants quickly brought tea. They attended to his needs meticulously. He was a prominent figure in Hua City, someone that many prestigious families tried to curry favor with.
