Chapter 26: Worried About Mommy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Little Chenchen’s mind was sharp. When he was on the phone with his mommy, he felt that something was wrong. He clearly heard something from his mommy’s side. It seemed like she said that there was a blackout on the cruise ship and there were some messy noises. Before his mommy could finish speaking, she hung up.
When the little guy called her again because he was worried, his mommy’s phone had been switched off. He called her many times but could not get through. This made the little guy even more uneasy. He quickly ran to the study room to find his daddy to think of a solution.
Li Qianming immediately called his assistant to investigate. Very soon, unexpectedly bad news came.
It was said that an accident happened on a cruise ship and the A-list celebrity fell into the water and died. Chi Yaoxi was suspected of murder and was taken away by the police for interrogation.
The little fellow was also listening by the side. He was so anxious that tears flowed down his face before he could finish listening.?How did this happen? Mommy is a good person. Why was she taken away by the police?
“Daddy, you must think of a way to save mommy. Quickly let her out and let her come home!”
Li Qianming also felt extremely surprised, his brows tightly furrowed, a hint of maliciousness appearing at the corners of his lips.
He raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already very late. When he called the police station, the main person in charge of the case had already gotten off work. He could only deal with it tomorrow morning.
When he couldn’t get through to his mommy’s phone, the little fella made a lot of noise. Li Qianming coaxed him until midnight before he finally fell asleep with tears all over his face.
The next morning, Li Qianming called the company’s Lawyer Tang and asked him if he could bail Chi Yaoxi out as soon as possible. It would not be a problem to spend as much money as possible.
Lawyer Tang made a special trip to the police station and came back an hour later with a frown. “President Li, this matter is really not easy to handle. The police won’t let her go. According to the results of the investigation, Miss Chi’s motive for killing is very obvious. You know that it’s not the first time that such a thing has happened between celebrities fighting for fame and profit. The other party said that there was a huge conflict of interest between Miss Chi and the deceased, so her motive for killing is very reasonable.”
Li Qianming frowned impatiently, his eyes filled with coldness. He glanced at Lawyer Tang and asked in a low voice, “They just have a reasonable motive?”
Lawyer Tang quickly shook his head and said carefully, “Not only that, the police have also shown sufficient evidence. I’ve taken all of them. Please take a look. This is a photo of Miss Chi staying in her room on the boat. It’s a mess and there are obvious signs of a fight.”
Seeing that President Li was silent, Lawyer Tang said carefully, “There’s an even more important piece of evidence. According to the forensic examination, there were scratches on the victim’s body when she was alive. Miss Chi’s fingernails actually had the victim’s skin tissue on her.”
Li Qianming’s face darkened. “This kind of evidence isn’t enough to convict her.”
“Of course, I understand. But with this evidence, it won’t be easy to get someone to bail Miss Chi out.” Lawyer Tang scratched his head. He was also worried about this matter.
The little fella refused to go to kindergarten and insisted on staying at home to wait for news from his mommy. When he heard his daddy’s lawyer, Uncle Tang, finish his sentence, the little guy’s eyes became misty again.
He looked at Li Qianming pitifully and helplessly, his voice carrying a sobbing tone, “Daddy, I trust Mommy a hundred percent. She won’t do those bad things, and she won’t kill anyone. Let’s quickly think of a way to save Mommy.”
Li Qianming reached out and hugged the little fella. He knew that this incident had dealt a huge blow to the little fella, so he could only try his best to comfort him. “Chenchen, don’t worry. Your mommy will be fine. But you heard it yourself. From the looks of it, we can’t bail your mommy out yet. We’ll think of another way.”
“What can we do to help Mommy now? I want Daddy to bring me to the police station. I miss Mommy. I want to see if anyone bullies her.” The little fella hugged his daddy’s neck and begged pitifully.
Li Qianming understood the deep mother-son bond between the little guy and his mommy. He promised to bring him to visit his mommy after lunch. Just as he was thinking about how to solve this problem, he heard the little guy shouting in the computer room, “Daddy, come over and take a look! Hurry!
“The news of mommy becoming a suspect has already been posted online, and it’s at the top of the search rankings! There’s even a photo! It’s too ugly. Let’s quickly remove this news.”
The father and son worked together to hack the content of the various media websites and temporarily suppress this wave of public opinion.
Chi Yaoxi knew that she had been framed. During the interrogation, the police actually said that they had sufficient evidence to prove that she had a motive for murder. The timing and location of the crime matched perfectly.
Since she could not make any calls during the time she was detained, she could only wait.
A day had already passed. Chi Yaoxi thought that Sister Ming should receive the news very soon. She would definitely come out to settle this matter as soon as possible and find a way to bail her out and clear her name.
After waiting for an entire morning, Sister Ming did not come. Chi Yaoxi felt increasingly uneasy. She knew that the longer this matter dragged on, the more trouble there would be.
With such a huge commotion, the media and the internet were probably already abuzz.
Chi Yaoxi had not slept for a day and a night. She forced herself to stay awake, waiting for someone to bail her out, waiting for things to change.
In the afternoon, just as Chi Yaoxi was in a daze and pacing back and forth in the detention center’s room, another police officer suddenly called her out for a walk.
Was she going to be interrogated again? They had already interrogated her many times, just so that she could confess quickly. However, she had clearly been wronged. Up until now, her words had no evidence and she was powerless to prove it.
Chi Yaoxi was already exhausted both physically and mentally from being tormented. She dragged her heavy footsteps outside.
She had just turned a corner when she saw Li Qianming and the little fellow coming over to see her! Chi Yaoxi was agitated and moved, as if she had seen her family and lover. Her eyes instantly reddened.
She took a few steps forward and wanted to rush over, but she was stopped by the police officers beside her. “Sit down! Behave yourself and don’t run around!”
Chi Yaoxi could only sit in front of an office desk and watch the father and son pair from several meters away.
The little guy clenched his fists secretly and tried his best to hold it in. He did not want his mommy to see him cry and worry about him. He was here to cheer her on and think of a solution.
But in the end, he could not hold it back. The little fellow cried softly as he comforted Chi Yaoxi. “Mommy, you’ll be fine. Don’t worry. Daddy and I are thinking of ways.”
The child was still so young and was too obedient. In order to reassure the child, Chi Yaoxi nodded vigorously at him and said, “Chenchen, be good, don’t cry. Mommy will be fine. This is not a place for children to stay. Leave quickly.”
The little fella shook his head firmly. “I’m not leaving! I’ve already grown up. Mommy, I believe that you’re a good person!”freewebno vel.co m
