Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 768 - 748: Husband... Don’t Go (Part 1)

Won’t agree?

Huo Zhenxuan’s eyes darkened a bit, "Then I’m sorry, but I can only enjoy watching the news about how my sister-in-law goes to court, enters jail, and gets sentenced on TV. Speaking of which, my sister-in-law has been so pampered by my elder brother that she probably hasn’t even folded clothes before, right? Let alone spending decades in jail, I guess even these days in detention are tough enough... Alas, your darling wife, whom you treat like a precious doll, delicate and lovely as a porcelain doll—if she ends up in prison and gets bullied by the tyrants and boss inmates, brother, wouldn’t your heart ache? There are too many female prisoners who can’t bear it and commit suicide in prison. How many days do you think she can last?"

Across him on the couch, Huo Zhenyang’s complexion darkened, black as the looming clouds where the sea meets the sky.

The clueless PR lady next to him inappropriately tried to comfort him, "Young Master Huo, don’t be angry..."

Before she could finish, with a "ya" scream, she was overturned onto the floor by the furious man, falling flat on her face!

Huo Zhenxuan, watching his brother’s actions, lifted the corner of his lips and continued,

"Don’t be mad, elder brother. As soon as you submit your resignation, I will immediately hand over the evidence to the police station. That evidence is enough to ensure that not a single hair on your darling wife’s head will be harmed, and she will walk out of the detention center unscathed and vindicated."

*

The days in the detention center slid by, one after another.

Although tough, life still went on.

Sometimes it’s like this, the days you think you can’t get through, they still pass by...

Xia Tingxuan came several more times, each time looking worse than the last.

Ever since she signed the divorce agreement with Huo Zhenyang, Fang Yao said that the public opinion outside had quieted down a lot, and the accusations and scolding against her had also decreased.

Jiayi understood, the pressure to handle the case seemed to be less.

However, if no new evidence was found, there was still no hope in sight.

For some reason, at the beginning, she was very nervous, but now she was not so afraid anymore and just waited for the trial to begin eagerly.

Her heart had become like a stagnant pool, no longer willing to stir.

That day, the iron door made several clanging noises, the sound of the police officer unlocking it.

Jiayi lethargically got up from the hard bed.

These days, the feeling of discomfort was growing stronger.

Her stomach had gotten better, she hadn’t thrown up much, perhaps because she hadn’t eaten much anyway, so there was nothing to throw up.

But her head began to feel dizzy by spells.

Sometimes she would even black out.

She looked through the skylight and saw that it wasn’t visiting hours.

It shouldn’t be someone coming to see her.

She walked over with her weak legs.

The patrolling policewoman pushed the door open and glanced at her coldly, "Chu Jiayi, come with me."

"Where to? Is there something wrong, officer?" she asked tentatively.

"Just follow me, no need for so much talk," the policewoman replied impatiently.

Ever since the Huo Family’s lawyer delivered the divorce agreement, the detention center’s police officers had become even more disdainful towards her.

Jiayi dragged her frail steps, following behind the officer, out of the detention center.

Following the policewoman, Jiayi arrived at a room in the police station.

She remembered this place; it was the investigation room.

The first day she came to the police station, she had been questioned by the police in this very room.

She didn’t know why she was back here again.

Sitting across from three stern-faced officers, Jiayi recounted the events of that day once again as the police had instructed.

The three officers listened while taking notes, occasionally whispering to each other.

After an indeterminate amount of time, one officer looked up, "Chu Jiayi, you can be bailed out. Do you need us to call your family to come pick you up?"

Jiayi thought she had heard wrong, she couldn’t believe it, "I... can go now?"

"Yes, you are free to leave anytime."

Jiayi swallowed hard, "Why... wasn’t I supposed to just wait for the trial... why can I leave now..."

The three officers exchanged glances, one of them said, "Consider yourself lucky. The property management of Lijing Apartment found some surveillance footage and handed it to the police station. It shows you entering the apartment and, based on the victim’s time of death and your previous testimony, there’s sufficient evidence to prove that you entered the apartment after the victim had died. After discussion at the police department, we’ve decided to grant you bail. However, you are not officially acquitted until the formal trial, so you cannot leave Yunling during the bail period."

Her eyes lit up.

If evidence had been found and she had been granted bail, then she could practically consider herself acquitted.

In a short span of time, the situation had taken an unexpected turn, catching her off guard.

It wasn’t until she picked up her bag and walked out of the police station’s front door that Jiayi still felt somewhat dazed.

She wondered if it was because she had been in detention for too long; after walking just a few steps, her legs felt weak.

As she descended the stairs, she nearly stumbled.

Thankfully, one of the officers who had assisted her with the bail procedures caught her in time.

Seeing her in a weakened state, the officer said, "Are you sure you don’t want me to contact your parents or friends to pick you up?"

His tone carried a hint of pity and sympathy.

The officer certainly knew that the petite woman before him had already signed the divorce papers with Mayor Huo and was no longer the young lady of the Huo family.

Being called "Miss Chu" made Jiayi feel as if her heart was tightly wound with hemp rope, sharply tugging at her. The emotions that she had managed to stabilize over these days were once again stirred.

Yes.

That’s right.

Her identity had reverted to Miss Chu.

She had become a divorced woman of the Huo family.

Jiayi shook her head, "No need, my home isn’t far from here, I can just take a taxi."

As she mentioned the proximity to her home, her brows couldn’t help but furrow.

The Green Island Garden where she and her mother lived was also a property bought for them by that man...

Now that she was no longer the young lady of the Huo family, it was time to move out of that house.

Since he had given up on her, she didn’t want to take any advantage of him and face his scorn.

This was her last shred of dignity.

With that thought, she didn’t even want to go back to Green Island Garden anymore.

Taking a deep breath, she braced herself and stepped out of the police station’s main entrance.

It was just the beginning of the night.

The evening had just settled over Yunling, and the neon lights shimmered.

She looked up and her gaze fell on a row of French plane trees across the street.

A black Bentley was parked quietly under the trees.

The dense foliage draped down in layers, casting shadows over the car and causing the all-black vehicle to almost merge with the night.

If one didn’t look closely, it was impossible to discern the car beneath the trees.

The car window was rolled down slightly, and she could vaguely make out the familiar commanding silhouette in the driver’s seat.

The dim light of dusk cloaked the figure, whose outline was nearly perfect, stirring emotions in those who looked upon him.

He must have gotten the news of her bail from the police station and driven over.

Jiayi’s steps suddenly halted.
