Chapter 118 - Reunion (3)
The thunderstorm was too intense at City Hai that night, and it was already the afternoon of the next day by the time Qin ZiMing and Mrs. Qin’s lawyer was able to get to them.
After being up the entire night, Qin ZiMing’s eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles around his eyes. He looked very disheveled.
As worried as he was, he still tried to maintain his calm and his graceful demeanor when he met with his lawyer.
“Lawyer Chen. What’s going on? They don’t have any evidence. They can’t just arrest me because someone made a report based on nothing…” said Qin ZiMing.
What he heard from the lawyer was, “Mr. Qin, I will do my best to defend you, but judging from my experience, your chances are not good or even close to none. The best I can do for you is to try to get you a reduced sentence. After all, Mr. Huo YanXiao had already regained his consciousness.”
Qin ZiMing turned colors right away, but he didn’t have time to find out why Huo YanXiao was unhurt. His voice was frantic. “Reduce sentence? No chance of winning? What have I done that could convict me?!”
The lawyer simply repeated some of what Qin ZiMing and Mrs. Qin had said inside the ward.
Qin ZiMing felt his heart sink. His lips quivered, and he tried to remain calm. “Lawyer Chen, I don’t think I understand what you are trying to get at.”
“Mr. Qin, everything that you and Mrs. Qin had said and done inside the ward had been recorded and streamed life onto the web from the moment that you stepped inside,” said Lawyer Chen. “You had admitted to plotting Mr. Huo YanXiao’s murder in the conversation and some netizens had reported you.”
Qin ZiMing was now completely frantic. There was anger and ruthlessness in his eyes. “Why were there cameras inside the ward?!”
Plus, even if there were cameras inside of the hospital, they should be obviously visible.
He had looked around the ward after he walked in there. There was no camera inside!
That meant, if there were any, they were of the spy cam type!
Which meant, they were there specifically for him!
As though he had thought of something else, Qin ZiMing suddenly felt a sense of chilliness that started by his feet and quickly spread over his entire body. All of his hair stood up on their ends!
Huo YanXiao was not dead. There were cameras inside the ward…
Haha! Now he got it. He fell for Huo YanXiao’s trap!
Huo YanXiao had set the trap a long time ago and just waited for him to jump right in it!
And that was exactly what he did. He thought his plan was executive flawlessly, but what he hadn’t expected was that he had only made a fool out of himself by saying everything that he did inside the ward!
Lawyer Chen went on, “Mr. Qin, the video was not all. I had spoken with the police on the way here. They had informed me that they had first-hand evidence as well. I am your defense attorney, so I hope that you can be truthful to me. That would help me greatly in the process of defending you.”
“Haha. Help me?” Qin ZiMing’s eyes were beet red. By now, he realized that he had just lost everything.
How much could the sentence be reduced? He had been pampered his entire life. Could he handle the fact that he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison?
He didn’t even need to think about it. Even if he wouldn’t face a death sentence or life in prison because Huo YanXiao lived, what could he possibly do after he was released dozens of years from now?
He had nothing left. He might as well be dead!
While he was somewhat out of it, he seemed to hear Huo YanXiao’s voice replaying in his head what he had said to him outside of the Qin’s front door previously. “Do not lay a finger on her. Otherwise, I don’t mind taking over all the Qin’s shares that you own.”
He snickered at the time. Came to think about it, Huo YanXiao had already started casting his net back then, hadn’t he?
After Qin ZiMing had chased away Lawyer Chen, he sat inside the small and dim room by himself and almost gave up on everything.
At the same time, inside the hospital, Huo YanXiao seemed to be getting much better. He had already had his assistant book his flight tickets back to Capital City for the next day and also finished the interview with the police.
By now, Qin Hai had no idea how to describe what his feelings were anymore.
He might have believed in a medical miracle yesterday, but seeing the calmness exuding from Huo YanXiao today, he suddenly dared not think about it anymore.
That being said, one way or another, he was able to retain one of his two sons.
In the past several days in City Hai, he was the one who almost died, feeling like he was drowning repeatedly.
Another day had come and gone ,and Huo YanXiao was finally discharged from the hospital. He left his assistant behind to handle the remaining matters in City Hai and flew back to Capital City with Qin Hai.
Inside the Capital City airport, Nie AnAn was waiting at the arrival gate. She was staring at it without even blinking.
Finally, she spotted a familiar-looking tall and huge silhouette. Her eyes beamed.
The man, too, had spotted her and walked over to her quickly.
