Unrestricted fighting enters the female-oriented genre

Chapter 20 The Hermit's Ingenious Plan!

Not long after Shen Lijuan left, the door to the detention cell opened again.

The person who entered this time made very light footsteps, but carried a familiar aura.

Before I even opened my eyes, I could smell the faint fragrance of paulownia blossoms.

That's my older sister, He Linghuang.

"Xiao Qiang!"

Her voice trembled noticeably as she strode to the bedside, grabbed my wrist, and looked me up and down.

Her gaze fell on the bandage around my head, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Xiaoqiang, tell me, who did this?"

She spoke with anger in her expression.

I'm certain that if I reveal the name of the person who hit me, He Linghuang will use every means to make him wish he were dead.

Unfortunately, the person who hit me is already dead.

So all I could do was comfort He Linghuang: "Sister, don't worry, the person who hit me is dead. I personally sent him to meet the King of Hell."

"Moreover, I acted in self-defense and bear no responsibility whatsoever."

"Really?"

He Linghuang looked at me with a doubtful expression.

"Really, you believe me."

I gently took her hand.

It's very smooth and soft, and it's warm.

"But you've been too reckless. It's only been a few days, and you've already gotten into trouble several times..."

She looked at me, her voice tinged with reproach, but her eyes were full of concern.

"Sis, I'm actually fine."

I sat up and smiled at her.

"This injury looks scary, but it's just a scrape. Look how energetic I am."

"Stop being so cheeky!"

He Linghuang glared at me, but her hand had already involuntarily brushed aside the stray hairs on my forehead to check the wound under the gauze.

"What did the doctor say? Did I need stitches? Will it leave a scar?"

"I'm not afraid of scars, I don't make a living off my looks."

"You little rascal—"

She wanted to say something more, but Jiang Chenzhou coughed at the right moment, interrupting the conversation.

"President He, Boss, let's get down to business."

He Linghuang finally came to her senses, released my hand, took a half step back, sniffed, and tried to calm herself down.

But she couldn't resist and reached out to straighten my collar before looking at Jiang Chenzhou: "Attorney Jiang, you go first."

Jiang Chenzhou nodded and opened the folder in his hand.

"Boss, your situation this time is more complicated than last time. Liu Hao died on the spot, and Xu Yunfan also died from his injuries. Although the surveillance video is complete, and there is basically no doubt that it was self-defense, the case is serious, and it's his second time in jail, so the police can't just release him."

"Tell me the current situation in detail."

As I spoke, I gently put my arm around He Linghuang's shoulder and pulled her to sit down on the edge of the bed.

He Linghuang's pretty face instantly turned crimson. The aura of a CEO who runs a multi-billion dollar group disappeared, and she transformed into a shy little girl, lowering her head and not daring to look at anyone.

"The police need time to complete all legal procedures. According to preliminary estimates, you will have to stay in the detention center for at least six months until the prosecutor's office releases its review results before proceeding to the next step."

"Six months?"

He Linghuang's brows immediately furrowed.

"Spending six months in a detention center is like losing half your life; that's absolutely unacceptable!"

"Sister, don't worry."

I squeezed He Linghuang's small hand tighter, trying to calm her down.

"Shen Zhou, what suggestions do you have regarding this matter?"

I looked at Jiang Chenzhou and asked.

Jiang Chenzhou closed the folder.

"Boss, the standard procedure is to talk to the deceased's family about a settlement, give them a sum of money, get a letter of understanding, and then apply for bail pending trial."

"As long as the family withdraws the case, the prosecutor's office will not file a public prosecution, and you will be able to leave within half a month."

He Linghuang immediately nodded: "This plan is feasible. How much does it cost? I'll pay for it."

"Sister," I called out to her, softening my tone, "we can't pay this money."

He Linghuang was taken aback and looked at me: "Why?"

"Because I am a victim."

I looked into her eyes.

"Xu Yunfan hit me first. He smashed my head with a wine bottle twice, almost killing me."

"I only fought back to protect myself."

"Although he died in the end, I did nothing wrong."

"Even if this matter goes to court, I will definitely be innocent and will not have to pay any money."

He Linghuang frowned and said, "I wanted you to settle this matter as soon as possible so you wouldn't have to suffer in the detention center."

"I can't pay compensation, otherwise people will think I'm in the wrong."

I said to her with a smile.

"So what's your solution?"

He Linghuang asked me helplessly.

"I have a brilliant plan!"

I looked at He Linghuang with a smile, leaned close to her ear, and lowered my voice.

"Sis, can you do a few things for me..."

He Linghuang frowned after hearing my words.

"Will this... will this work?"

"Trust me, it can definitely be done."

I gripped her hand tightly and nodded very seriously.

He Linghuang thought for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

"Okay, let's do it your way first. If that doesn't work, then I'll step in."

"Thank you, sister. With you helping me, I can finally relax."

I looked at her with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

This woman is truly beautiful.

She wasn't the kind of woman who was overtly flamboyantly beautiful, but rather possessed an intellectual, elegant, and noble air...

Anyone who sees her will immediately think that this woman is a good wife.

"Xiaoqiang, I've noticed you've changed a lot; you're smarter than before."

He Linghuang looked at me, her eyes flickering, seemingly approving yet also puzzled.

"Sister, I was immature before, but I've grown up now."

"Yes, I understand, you've had a tough time these past few years..."

She squeezed my hand with a hint of concern and said softly, "You stay here and take care of things. I'll handle things outside."

I nodded, then explained a few more things to Jiang Chenzhou before seeing them off.

The next morning, some news began to circulate in Jiangcheng City.

It all started at a dinner party in the investment circle, when someone "casually" mentioned: "Have you heard? That girl from the Leng family, she kept a gigolo and it led to someone's death. Her husband stabbed one to death in the private room."

"Really?"

"How could it not be true? My cousin works at the police station and saw the surveillance video with his own eyes. That pretty boy smashed people's heads with bottles. He smashed three bottles, the last one being a liquor bottle. He almost killed someone."

"That guy is ruthless; he managed to fight back even after being smashed like that."

"That pretty boy deserved it. Leng Yanran is no better; her husband was beaten up in the private room, and she just stood by and watched without even trying to stop it."

The news seeped into every corner of Jiangcheng like water.

On the third day, tabloids began writing sensationalist news articles about "the female president of the Leng Group being involved in a murder case," using phrases like "it is said" and "rumored online," but the accompanying picture was a blurry profile photo of Leng Yanran taken at the entrance of the private room.

On the fourth day, the stock price of Leng's Group fluctuated significantly and began to decline.

Leng Yanran couldn't sit still any longer.

She first asked Xiao Mingluan to investigate the source of the information, but the information came from a dinner party and the source was an old friend from the He Group. She could neither find any evidence nor find anyone to take the blame.

Then Leng Yanran discovered that the He Group had suddenly become hostile towards several projects that the Leng Group was vying for.

The He Group's offer, proposal, and network were all superior to the Leng Group's.

If the He Group insists on targeting them in this way, the Leng Group will suffer losses of at least several billion.

Leng Yanran realized that He Linghuang had made her move.

She hesitated for a long time before finally steeling herself and dialing He Linghuang's number.

"Sister Linghuang..."

Leng Yanran's voice sounded a little weak, and she adopted a very humble posture.

"Mr. Leng, is something the matter?"

"Sister Linghuang, those recent projects... those are all areas where the Leng Group excels and has long been deeply involved. Could you perhaps ease up on your end and stop competing for them?"

"What do you think?"

He Linghuang sneered.

"I want to see my brother. Where is he now?"

These words left Leng Yanran speechless.

She finally understood what was going on.

He Linghuang's deliberate targeting was not for any other reason than to vent her anger for He Qiang.

She was indignant and wanted to say a few words to He Linghuang.

But her strength was not enough to make her arrogant in front of He Linghuang.

Admittedly, her ability to lead the vast Leng Group makes her a formidable figure.

But compared to He Linghuang, she really wasn't good enough.

He Linghuang is a true genius, with extensive knowledge, ruthless methods, and an exceptionally high IQ. She is practically the pinnacle of female powerhouses.

Every time she saw He Linghuang, she felt an inexplicable pressure because He Linghuang's aura was simply too powerful.

Now that He Linghuang is deliberately targeting her, she has no choice but to compromise.

"Sister Linghuang, don't worry, I will bring He Qiang home as soon as possible and make sure he doesn't suffer any more harm."

Leng Yanran made a solemn declaration of her determination.

"Then hurry up."

He Linghuang's tone was indifferent.

"Come talk to me again once my brother is safe!"

She hung up the phone immediately after she finished speaking.

Leng Yanran stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding her phone, looking at the scenery outside with a lost and dejected expression.

It was only then that she realized that although He Qiang had married her, he was still the second young master of the He family.

The He family may not accept his identity, but He Linghuang is different.

That was his adopted sister; they had grown up together since childhood.

If He Qiang hadn't fallen in love with her, the person he would have married would have been He Linghuang.

He Linghuang has never hidden her preference for He Qiang.

Therefore, as long as He Linghuang is still in the He family, He Qiang will never be alone.

He still has support and the ability to challenge her...

"Damn it!"

Leng Yanran kicked the French window angrily, feeling extremely displeased.

She genuinely looked down on He Qiang's pathetic appearance.

Originally, she wanted to drive He Qiang crazy so that he would file for divorce and break up with her.

Now it seems that this is not something that can be done so easily.

Never mind, let's deal with what we're doing first.

Leng Yanran summoned Xiao Mingluan and Yi Chuhong.

"Money is not a problem," she said, leaning back in her office chair and rubbing her temples. "We gave full compensation to both families of the deceased, made them sign letters of understanding, and voluntarily withdrew the cases."

"And that Ye Fan, send him abroad for treatment, give his family some money, and tell them to go with him and never come back!"

Xiao Mingluan pushed up her glasses: "President Leng, shouldn't He Qiang be the one to pay for this?"

Leng Yanran paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Just do as I say."

Should He Qiang pay for it?

Not to mention that He Qiang doesn't have much money.

Even if He Qiang is willing to pay, would she dare to agree?

She worried that if He Linghuang found out about this, she would fight her to the death.

She doesn't have the power to mess with that crazy woman yet, but one day, she'll make her kneel before her and repent!

Xiao Mingluan didn't ask any more questions.

Yi Chuhong lowered her head and said softly, "Yanran, actually He Qiang didn't do anything wrong..."

"I know."

Leng Yanran interrupted her, her voice very soft.

"The issue now is not about right or wrong, but about solving the problem."

"Just work together and get things done as quickly as possible."

Yi Chuhong nodded and said nothing more.

Three days later, all the formalities were completed.

Liu Hao and Xu Yunfan's families signed a letter of understanding, withdrew the case, received the money, and moved away from Jiangcheng.

Ye Fan was secretly sent abroad, and along with his family, he completely disappeared from Jiangcheng.

After Ye Fan left, not only was He Qiang's case resolved, but Leng Yanran also cleaned up her own mess.

……

The day I was released, Leng Yanran actually drove to pick me up herself.

I walked out of the police station with a calm expression and a smile on my face. When I reached the door, I even turned back to wave goodbye to a few police officers.

Leng Yanran, wearing sunglasses and a smart black business suit, leaned against the car with her arms crossed, looking at me.

She felt very strange.

Before this, she had always seen He Qiang as a spineless coward.

She despises men who have no backbone.

If He Qiang hadn't taken out 500 million yuan in cash to save the Leng Group three years ago, she would never have married him.

However, now she seems to see something different in He Qiang.

She felt that this man seemed to have really changed.
