Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 753 - 733: You Definitely Won’t Leave Me Alone
Jiayi guessed what was happening when she saw him let the policewoman bring in the blanket, and now hearing his words, she understood, "Do I have to stay here for a while?"
Looking at her pitiful eyes, he felt an urge to take her out immediately.
But it wouldn’t be good for her.
"Can you endure it?" he asked, stroking her hair, trying to keep his voice calm while holding back the surge of emotions in his heart.
If she said she couldn’t, he would take her away without a second word.
Jiayi’s throat moved.
She was now implicated in a serious murder charge and couldn’t be bailed out.
And she had heard from the policewoman earlier that there were reporters all outside the police station...
He must have already faced quite a few difficulties and questioning from the reporters when he came in, carrying such heavy pressure.
If they forcibly bailed her out now, ignoring everything, he would become a target for public criticism, a bulls-eye for thousands of arrows, drowned by the spittle of the public and the government.
Her tears slid down at once.
All this time, whenever something happened, she always turned to him first, relied on him, treating him like a big tree to shelter her from the wind and the rain.
Gradually, she had become accustomed to taking his protection for granted.
But now, was she going to harm him too?
She didn’t want to be so useless.
And she didn’t want to drag him down with her.
Seeing her cry, his heart felt as if it had been sliced with a knife. Without hesitation, he bent down, prepared to carry her away from this accursed place.
She quickly wiped away her tears, raised her face, and said, "It’s okay, I can endure."
He cursed under his breath, was this what enduring looked like?
Clearly, she was just putting on a brave face.
Just as he was about to reach out to her again, she had already curved her lips into a crescent-like faint smile, "After all, it’s just a few days, right? You will have them clear things up and then let me walk out in the clear, won’t you?"
His dark eyes hardened, his arm suspended in mid-air, finally slowly descending as he said with determination, "Yes, I won’t let anything happen to you."
"Hmm, if I leave now, the media won’t let me off, thinking I’m fleeing from a crime. Even if I got out, I’d still be vilified. It’s just a few days, no big deal." She continued to smile, bending her lips and trying to reassure him. She then hugged her knees, pretending everything was fine, "Oh right, don’t tell Zaizai, just say I’m busy with something and will be back in a few days. Also, don’t let him use the internet these days, lest he comes across the news."
The more she acted as if nothing was wrong and forced optimism, the more it pained him.
He knew she was afraid of dragging him down.
Damn it!
How could he possibly leave her in this dark and cold place?
Even a few days would be intolerable for him!
She was born to be cherished and nurtured in a greenhouse.
He clenched his jaw, took a deep breath, and just as he was about to support her small hand and forcibly lead her out, she seemed to sense his desperation, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, "Do you always think I’m useless?"
His deep eyes flickered; it was as if something struck his heart, "Who said that? You’re great, everything about you is wonderful."
She gave birth to a baby and raised it till the age of three, no one in the world was stronger than his woman.
She looked like a child who had just been praised, her face regaining some of its color, cheeks flushed, she held back her tears and proudly lifted her head, "Mhm, so I’m not afraid of anything, you go back, I believe you, you definitely won’t ignore me."
He curled his palm, grasping her hand.
"Boss." George called out from outside the door, gently reminding him.
He pulled back his thoughts, knowing what was most important at this time, said nothing more, finally straightened up, ruffled her hair, turned around, and glanced at George.
George understood, gave a few instructions to the female officer, and then took something out and stuffed it into the officer’s hand.
The female guard took that item, looked down at it, her face showing an imperceptible hint of delight, nodding vigorously, and intermittent voices floated in, "...I understand, I will surely take good care of Mrs. Huo, and will not let her suffer at all."
Walking out of the cell, he heard the iron door "clang" shut behind him, Huo Zhenyang tried not to look inside. The tender expression he had used to console the little one withdrew like the tide, replaced by a face full of gloom and anger, he strode out of the detention center, towards the chief’s office.
The Huo Family’s lawyers were also in the office, just having seen Jiayi’s deposition, now waiting together with the chief for Huo Zhenyang to arrive.
The door banged open, and the man walked in with a gloomy face.
The chief hurriedly stood up, "Mayor Huo, you’ve seen her already, haven’t you..."
He didn’t want to waste more time, getting straight to the point, "The nanny and security only saw her at the scene, they didn’t witness her killing anyone, you’re not going to conclude she’s a murderer just based on that, are you!"
The chief hesitated for a moment, helplessly, "Of course it’s not just that. But all the evidence at the scene, including fingerprints, DNA... all point to Mrs. Huo, we’ve investigated the victim’s phone records, she made a call to the Huo Mansion Disheng two hours before she died, spoke with Mrs. Huo on the phone, the recording shows that their conversation was very unpleasant, the atmosphere was extremely tense, Mrs. Huo even said something to the victim like ’you won’t know how you die’, these might just be said in anger, usually it doesn’t matter, but in the eyes of the media and the court, it’s considered threatening language, indicating Mrs. Huo had the intent to kill. Furthermore, the victim’s nanny also received a text message from the victim before the incident, saying that the victim had arranged to meet Mrs. Huo at home and asked her to come back later."
"That could also be sent by the murderer using Xiaolei’s phone." Huo Zhenyang’s voice was cold as iron, "After she arrived at Xiaolei’s apartment, the door was ajar, and she had barely taken a few steps inside when someone knocked her out from behind, obviously, someone framed her, the killer, after harming Xiaolei, didn’t leave, used Xiaolei’s phone to send a text to lure her there, and then framed her."
Although the chief was intimidated, he still had to say, "That’s just Mrs. Huo’s side of the story, even if we believe it, the public, the media and the court won’t believe it, they will think it’s a story fabricated by Mrs. Huo to get out of the charges. In fact, we can’t find any proof that a third party entered the victim’s apartment."
The handsome man’s forehead vein throbbed; he slammed the desk with a bang, his sharp voice echoing in the office with a resounding thud, he spoke coldly, "Didn’t you check the surveillance?"
The Huo Family’s lawyer’s heart raced, knowing the Boss was holding back his temper; otherwise, he was close to cursing the chief of police right to his face.
The chief wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Of course we didn’t forget to obtain the surveillance footage, but..."
Huo Zhenyang’s brow twitched, "But what?"
"Today, the Lijing Apartment’s surveillance video malfunctioned for the entire day, we can’t find any footage of people coming and going. We couldn’t even capture when Mrs. Huo arrived either."
His teeth clenched tightly.
The real murderer clearly had it all planned out, making all preparations to put her in a deathly situation.
If even the traces at the scene could be cleaned up in a short period of time, then destroying the apartment’s surveillance videos was hardly a challenge.
