Chapter 337: Chapter 335: Someone Guarantees Her
The security office at the police station, the on-duty officer poked out his head: "What are you here for—"
Before he finished speaking, the driver rolled down the window, holding up the credential signaling his identity, which instantly silenced the officer.
The officer’s eyes widened as he looked at the figure in the back seat of the car, which was indiscernible due to the sealed windows covered with bulletproof film.
Yet, the noble aura of that figure seemed to emanate through the car window.
After another glance at the silver corner of a wheelchair barely visible in the front passenger seat, the officer immediately understood who the visitor was.
He swallowed hard: "You are from the Ya Family—"
"Yes, we have something to attend to, please open the gate."
The officer took a deep breath, pressed the remote, and opened the retractable iron gate.
Meanwhile, at the Traffic Criminal Department of the police station.
Xuan Yu sat outside the interrogation room by a long table, her delicate makeup marred by a half-day’s running about.
At the moment, she was angrily facing the officer across the table, her fair hand tapping insistently while she spoke vehemently:
"How many times do I have to say it? My daughter accidentally brushed the car, she has a heart condition, she had an episode at the time and couldn’t control the car! Plus, it was raining, the road was slippery, and that’s why she accidentally hit the car in front! How many times do I have to explain before you’ll release her?"
There are many rich and famous in Nanga City, and the city police department is the capital’s largest criminal investigation unit, accustomed to dealing with high society. However, few are as overbearing as Xuan Yu, who from the get-go banged on tables and demanded the release of the detainee.
Of course, they were well aware of this esteemed lady’s identity, her husband being Chu Yanhan, with a duke’s status in the royal family of S Country, and her own father being the top foreign diplomat of the S Country government.
It was for this reason that the officer making the record was relatively polite to Xuan Yu: "Mrs. Chu, the person responsible is Miss Chu, not you. Whatever you say doesn’t matter. Right now, Miss Chu hasn’t said a word, and all the eyewitnesses on the road saw it; she drove her car into the Ya Family’s car. You want us to release her? What would the media say tomorrow? Even the Chu Family and your Xuan Family might not withstand such public pressure!"
"Can’t I just bail her out? Just tell me how much the bail is, as if the Chu Family can’t afford it!"
The officer snorted: "Mrs. Chu, not every case is bailable. This case isn’t just a regular traffic accident; it might be a case of attempted murder, with the most severe implications. Under these circumstances, without approval from above, we can’t allow bail."
"You—" Xuan Yu was furious: "Forget it, I can’t be bothered to talk to you minions! I want to see your chief. I will speak directly to him! My daughter is unwell, and if she suffers an episode because of you people, I will sue you to death!"
The officer, feeling disrespected by Xuan Yu, also grew angry, his tone scornful: "Rest assured, Mrs. Chu, our police station’s detention center is equipped with a hospital."
"You—" Xuan Yu’s face turned purple with rage.
"Mrs. Chu wants to see the police chief? Sorry, but our boss didn’t say he wanted to see you." With that, the officer stood up, uninterested in further accompaniment.
Xuan Yu was so agitated she was almost twitching. If her husband had just made a personal call to the police chief, these minions wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous!
But now, it was clear Yanhan didn’t want to intervene!
Wasn’t Jiayi untouched by the affair? Why was Yanhan so angry?
She turned her head and scolded her maid in a low voice: "Is Sir still angry? Didn’t I tell you to explain? The second miss bumped into them unintentionally! Jiayi is fine; it was just an accident, so what more does he want?"
The maid, holding the phone, had just made another call only to receive the same furious response from Mr. Chu, "I’m not caring anymore," followed by him turning off his phone.
At this moment, the maid, looking helpless, whispered: "Sir said, it’s not just this incident, but also the matter from Huanglong Mountain hunting grounds a year ago. He said it’s time for the second miss to be punished, that even lifelong imprisonment would serve her right, let alone a stint in detention."
"What... the incident at Huanglong Mountain hunting grounds?" Xuan Yu was dumbfounded.
The maid’s voice grew even lower, "The butler said that Miss Jiayi seems to have remembered her past, claiming that she disappeared in China because she was lured by the second young lady to a slope near the hunting ground at Huanglong Mountain, and then was pushed down by the second young lady. The butler said that once the sir found out, he was almost furiously stomping around in the hospital, with his temper up like that, how could he possibly come forward to save the second young lady."
What... Jiayi’s disappearance wasn’t a runaway nor was it Xinyu’s doing, but the act of her most cherished younger daughter Xinyue?
The obedient girl who would gasp for air after walking just a few more steps and whose voice was as soft as a mosquito’s?
Xuan Yu was dumbfounded for quite a while before she clenched her teeth.
No matter what, her husband was furious right now, and it looked like he wouldn’t be coming to their daughter’s aid.
Back at her family’s place, although the old man held a high position in S Country, the higher the position, the more coveted it was by others.
Several of Xuan Yu’s brothers had also been preparing to enter politics recently, if someone caught something incriminating, levying accusations of shielding a granddaughter, bending the law for personal interest, it was likely that her family would be implicated, and the old man probably wouldn’t want that.
Could she really just stand by and watch Xinyue get thrown into detention?
At that moment, a middle-aged man with a protruding belly and an air of authority walked in.
As soon as the man entered, all the officers stood up in unison: "Chief!"
The chief of Nanga City’s police department?
Xuan Yu was startled and hurried forward: "You’re the chief? I am—"
The chief seemed to know who Xuan Yu was, and also knew what she wanted to do. Frowning, he avoided the woman’s pulling and dragging and left her hanging by the side as if she were thin air.
Xuan Yu’s hand was left hanging in mid-air, feeling very embarrassed, but then she heard the chief say to his subordinate: "Bring Chu Xinyue out, her bail has been granted."
Xuan Yu was astonished, then overjoyed, could it be that her husband had a change of heart and had called the chief again?
Several officers were quite surprised: "Release her? But—"
"No buts. Someone from above has guaranteed it. Let her go."
Once the chief had spoken, the officers could only comply.
In the interrogation room, Chu Xinyue, pale and with a bandaged abrasion on her forehead, was sitting in the special interrogation chair.
Up to now, her heart was still spasming, and she hadn’t come to her senses since the car accident this morning.
What had she done—
Had she harmed Jiayi again?
She admitted, for a moment when she saw Jiayi’s car ahead, she truly lost control and wanted to smash into it, setting off a situation where both would be destroyed!
She hated, hated why Jiayi had taken away her unique position in Ya Chen’s heart!
She hated herself even more, for why, over a man, she had done such terrible things.
But as she drove, her sanity was pulled back.
She knew, if she hurt Jiayi again this time, in Ya Chen’s heart, she would truly become an utterly unforgivable woman.
