Chapter 114: Calling the Police

Chapter 114: Calling the Police

Wang Shufen's apology made Lu Hai's lips twitch slightly.

His mother, that domineering rich woman, still needed his cousin to keep her in check.

They all took the initiative to apologize to the person.

However, Bai Zhi was not convinced. "I do not accept your apology."

"What did you say?" Wang Shufen, who had lost face after condescending to apologize, trembled with anger. "Bai Zhi, I've already apologized, don't push your luck."

"So what if I'm shameless?"

Bai Zhi glared at her coldly and said, "In order to match your niece with Lu Ye, you have targeted me repeatedly since I came to Nancheng. I used to tolerate you because I regarded you as an elder, but all I got in return was more and more ridicule and insults. Since you are disrespectful to your elders, I, as a junior, have no need to tolerate and forgive you anymore."

"Why do you think you can erase all the harm you've done to me with just an apology?"

“My engagement with Lu Ye was arranged by our elders, and we are both in love. No matter how you try to sabotage us, it won’t work.”

After Bai Zhi finished speaking in a cold voice, she turned around and removed the needles from Lu Ye's body.

Her words of mutual affection brought a slight smile to the lips of the man sitting on the bed.

Wang Shufen's chubby face turned ashen with anger. She complained to Old Master Lu, "Dad, look how arrogant this girl has become! I can't even say a few words to her? I was just worried about Lu Ye and spoke a little harshly in the heat of the moment. Bai Zhi doesn't even have this much tolerance. She's really from a small place. She's petty and has no vision."

Bai Zhi, upon hearing her complaint, lightly retorted.

"If you're so magnanimous, why can't you tolerate me?"

"It's your business to apologize, and it's my business whether I accept it or not. Don't try to morally blackmail me."

"Xiao Zhi is right. Just because you apologize doesn't mean she has to accept it."

Wang Shufen looked grim and decided to leave with her niece first.

Now that things have come to this, it's impossible for Wang Tingting and Lu Ye to be together.

We'd better get rid of this troublemaker quickly.

She had just grabbed Wang Tingting's arm when Lu Ye's sharp eyes shot over. "Stop. This isn't over yet."

"Leave today's matter to the police. Even if you leave, you will be summoned."

Wang Tingting turned pale with fright. "Auntie, please say something! My parents can't know about this!"

Dr. Li and an unfamiliar man were guarding the door, preventing Wang Tingting from leaving.

She and Wang Shufen were pacing anxiously in the courtyard.

Just as Bai Zhi removed the last silver needle from Lu Ye's body, Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun rushed over.

The two were exhausted, sweating profusely and panting. Dr. Li let them in, and they saw Wang Tingting and Wang Shufen in the yard.

"Big brother, sister-in-law," Wang Shufen greeted them with an extremely uncomfortable expression.

It would be much easier if Xie Yun arrived. Perhaps she could plead on their behalf.

Let her niece go.

Xie Yun ignored Wang Shufen and quickly followed Lu Zheng'an into the hall.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw the old man standing there with a very unpleasant expression. Bai Zhi seemed to have just had her acupuncture needles removed and was tidying them up.

Lu Ye was getting dressed.

Lu Zheng'an glanced at his father's ashen face, his guilty eyes flickering slightly.

Old Master Lu glared at him sharply, "Lu Zheng'an, look what you've done!"

As Old Lu scolded them, he was also puzzled as to why the eldest son and his wife had come here.

Did they know that Lu Ye and Bai Zhi were here?

Even if Zhang Ma told them that Wang Tingting had brought him to find Bai Zhi, Zhang Ma would never know the address they were going to.

"Dad, you know everything?" Lu Zheng'an looked at his father with a guilty expression and asked weakly.

Old Master Lu's face darkened, and he let out a cold snort.

"Dad, I'm so sorry. This is my fault. I was afraid you would worry, so I kept it from you. I asked Xiaozhi to keep it a secret."

Lu Zheng'an was so preoccupied with his own emotions that he didn't notice Lu Ye frantically giving him meaningful glances. He said, "At the time, Xiao Ye's condition was critical. The poison kept acting up, and the military hospital was helpless. In the end, thanks to Xiao Zhi's intervention, the condition was brought under control, and now she's fine. Don't worry too much."

"What did you say?"

When Old Lu heard this, he sensed something was wrong!

What drug caused the poisoning?

Did acupuncture with Angelica dahurica control the condition?

Is acupuncture only used when you are physically weak?

So, he means that Lu Ye has other problems besides the gunshot wound?

"You come out here."

Old Master Lu's expression was terrifyingly gloomy. He ordered Lu Zheng'an, "Tell me the whole story of how Xiao Ye was injured."

Lu Ye had no chance to stop him; Lu Zheng'an had already been called away by Old Master Lu.

Lu Yejun's face turned serious, and he sighed.

Bai Zhi naturally understood what was going on.

Old Master Lu is not easily fooled; Lu Zheng'an's words just now had already aroused the old man's suspicions.

It seems the truth about Lu Ye being poisoned by the drug can no longer be hidden.

They didn't dare go out and interrupt their conversation.

Interrupting now would only make things worse and backfire. "Don't worry, Grandpa Lu isn't that fragile; he can handle it."

Furthermore, the light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains.

Lu Ye's worst period is over.

Even if the elderly find out now, they'll just feel sorry for their grandson.

With Bai Zhi's comfort, Lu Ye calmed down.

"Let's go to the police station."

Wang Tingting, who was trapped in the courtyard and couldn't leave, was terrified when she heard Bai Zhi's words and looked to Xie Yun for help.

"Auntie, I really didn't mean any harm. This is just a misunderstanding. Could you please persuade Baizhi to stop being so persistent?"

Xie Yun looked at Wang Tingting with disgust.

Their family went through countless hardships to keep the old man a secret until now.

Everything was ruined by this troublemaker.

Fortunately, Lu Ye's condition has improved now. If he were in that state before, how could the old man have endured it?

If the elders found out when Lu Ye's condition was at its worst, they would not only have to take care of Lu Ye, but also their sick grandfather.

Xie Yun spoke coldly, "Wang Tingting, your actions violated the law. Bai Zhi's calling the police was entirely reasonable. You only have yourself to blame. People should pay the price for their actions. I have nothing to say."

Lu Ye came out and said to Xie Yun, "Mom, my dad and grandpa are talking. It might take a while. We're going to the nearby police station. We'll be right back."

"Okay. Go ahead."

When Lu Ye personally intervened, Wang Tingting's face turned ashen, and only two words remained in her mind: "It's over."

If they call the police, she's finished.

First of all, she will definitely lose face and be embarrassed.

If this matter gets reported to the Cultural Affairs Bureau, she is very likely to lose her job.

Wang Tingting didn't care about anything else and rushed to block Bai Zhi and Lu Ye, preventing them from leaving.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "Brother Lu Ye, please don't hold it against me. It was my fault this time, and I will be more careful in the future."

"It's too late."

Lu Ye didn't even glance at her, so she could only pin her hopes on Bai Zhi. But she was always arrogant and looked down on Bai Zhi. In front of her, she couldn't even say a soft word. "Bai Zhi, we're all women. Let's be forgiving. If you call the police, it won't do anyone any good."

Bai Zhi scoffed, "I am the victim. How can it not benefit me to protect my rights and reputation? Besides, if I let you go today, you will not only not be grateful, but you will become even more ruthless."

Wang Tingting quickly replied, "No, I won't."

Bai Zhi remained completely unmoved.

This woman has endured this for far too long.

"Xiao Zhi, please let Tingting go for my sake."

Wang Shufen pulled Lu Hai aside, signaling him to also plead for Wang Tingting.

When Lu Hai was called, he coughed lightly and stepped in to mediate, "Cousin, cousin and sister-in-law, how about we just let it go and let my cousin compensate my cousin and sister-in-law for some emotional distress?"

He added, "Given the situation today, if we call the police, we'll just get a lesson, but we won't go to jail."

No sooner had he been detained than his uncle got him released.

It was all for nothing.

It was just to scare Wang Tingting.

Bai Zhi's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing Lu Hai's words.

That's right.

Lu Hai is right.

It's true that Wang Tingting followed and stalked him, but she had no evidence. If this woman insists on denying it and says that she just happened to see him, then it won't constitute a crime.

The crime of defamation is also difficult to prove and define.

The final result may simply be that nothing comes of it.

but……

“No,” she refused.

Although she loves money, she doesn't want to earn Wang Tingting's money!

Even if Wang Tingting's actions do not constitute a crime, even if she has powerful backers, so what?

The process of being summoned and interrogated is unavoidable.

She needs to let them know.

Bai Zhi is not someone to be trifled with.

Lu Ye glared angrily at Lu Hai, "Do we lack that little bit of money?"

Lu Hai touched his nose and fell silent.
