Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Li Beiting’s Anger

Translator: 549690339

In a large room, a swath of people sat densely packed: uniformed police officers, the same group of men from room 209, and of course, a few women with disheveled clothes.

The men from room 209, however, wore looks of disdain; such affairs were presumably nothing new to them.

“What’s your name?” a police officer asked Xu Chaomu.

“Xu Chaomu,” she replied.

The officer took notes on a piece of paper at great speed, as Xu Chaomu glanced over and saw the foreman had also arrived, looking terrified.

Xu Chaomu was very anxious inside. The river was cold and dark, and Yu Weiwei must be suffering…

Not long ago, during that downpour in the mountains, she too had tumbled into a culvert from the slope, drenched through and nearly drowned.

That sensation was excruciating; it was a suffocating pain, as if her chest were blocked by a stone.

She remembered in the culvert, she almost thought she was dead, but then, Shen Chi had rescued her.

“Xu Chaomu, did you witness with your own eyes when Yu Weiwei fell into the river?” the police officer asked again.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. It was this group of men who forced her to jump, ” Xu Chaomu pointed at the men in front of her.

“You ought to take responsibility for your words; this isn’t something to be said lightly!” a man yelled, lighting a cigarette.

“I will take responsibility, of course. I’m saying this in front of all these people.

Since it’s coming from me, I won’t alter or retract my statement!”

Now, Xu Chaomu couldn’t help Yu Weiwei with anything but to speak with righteousness and without guilt.

Of course, her heart was still pounding non-stop!

If these policemen were in league with these men, she would definitely be in trouble.

At this moment, the foreman slowly spoke: “Chaomu, Yu Weiwei broke the glass herself and then accidentally fell out of the window—you must not twist the truth.”

Xu Chaomu’s eyes widened: “That’s the real twisting of the truth! I saw with my own eyes that Weiwei was pushed to desperation by these men before jumping!”

“Young lady, you can mess around with what you eat, but not with what you say. Which eye did you see it with?” a man said viciously.

Xu Chaomu, fearlessly replied, “If you have the guts, check the surveillance!”

As soon as she uttered those words, the expressions on a few men in the crowd changed instantly.

However, the man who led them maintained his composure, and laughed out loud: “Fine, check the surveillance? Come on, call your managers, your bosses, let’s do it!”

Xu Chaomu gritted her teeth and was about to speak when the foreman smirked: “Zhao, this girl is talking nonsense. Weiyang values the protection of our guests’ privacy above all. How could we install surveillance in the rooms?”

Xu Chaomu understood then; the club was in cahoots with these people, and she was on her own!

A police officer spoke up, frowning: “Stop the noise and cooperate with the investigation quietly.”

Several police officers checked the scene for evidence, and others made written records on site, but it was all trivial.

Sometime later, several auxiliary policemen who had gone into the water to search for the missing arrived.

“Reporting to the deputy chief, we didn’t find anyone.”

Xu Chaomu’s heart seized, and she rushed forward grabbing the auxiliary policeman’s clothes: “Why didn’t you find them? Weiwei and Shui Fu just fell into the water! They couldn’t have gone far!” Neew n0vel chapters are published on n0ve(lb)i(n.)co/m

“Young lady, don’t make trouble, we will definitely do our best to find them,” the police officer said.

“I don’t believe you’re doing your best!” Xu Chaomu angrily retorted.

The group of men at the scene were rich and powerful, and no one dared to offend them.

Even if it meant nothing to them, even if it cost two lives!

But Xu Chaomu cared.

They were her best friends; how could she not care.

“Young lady, stand back. If you keep harassing the police, we can detain you,” a police officer warned Xu Chaomu.

“Who dares to detain her?”

Just then, the security line at the door was ripped apart, and a man with a cold voice and a stern face strode in.

Her heart recognized that voice all too well; Xu Chaomu looked up, and it was Li Beiting.

The same Li Beiting who had just been on the phone with her.

He arrived very quickly.

Li Beiting’s eyes were bloodshot, his body’s blood boiling and raging. His fists clenched tight, his icy gaze swept over the people in front of him.

However, after Xu Chaomu glanced at him, the corner of her mouth curled into a smile. Why hadn’t he changed out of his robe or even his slippers?

But this in no way affected Li Beiting’s commanding presence.

When this man was serious and stern, he was even more fierce and aggressive than Shen Chi.

Suddenly, several people stood up in the large room, calling out “President Li.”

Li Beiting’s eyes were blood-red. Without acknowledging anyone, he kicked a coffee table and pointed at all the auxiliary policemen: “All of you motherfuckers get out and search! If you can’t find Yu Weiwei, I’ll throw you out to the dogs!”

Xu Chaomu, too, was startled by Li Beiting’s fury. She had never seen him so furiously ashamed.

Although Li Beiting didn’t care much for her, he had never been this furious!

Were men so terrifying when they got angry? Both Shen Chi and Li Beiting were.

Scared, she took a few steps back, but luckily, with Li Beiting there, she didn’t need to worry.

“Yes, President Li, even if you hadn’t said it, we would’ve searched anyway.”

“What are you still standing around for? Do you want me to kick you out?”

From the beginning to the end, Li Beiting’s tone was extremely unfriendly. His entire being was like a lion on the savannah, with a gaze that patrolled its prey, his eyes blood-red and ready to strike.

“Yes, let’s go!” several auxiliary policemen immediately left again.

The group of men in the room didn’t understand why Li Beiting would care about a maid, but sensing something was off, they prepared to flee.

Xu Chaomu noticed this and didn’t wait for Li Beiting to speak; she pointed at the group and said, “Li Beiting, it was them who bullied Weiwei. Weiwei called for you so many times, Uncle Er, you have to stand up for her.”

Everyone was shocked again—Li Beiting was that Yu Weiwei’s Uncle Er?

Incredible.

But the group remained defiant: “Young lady, don’t talk nonsense. In doing things and speaking, we rely on evidence. Show us the evidence, if you’re right as you claim, we will certainly not deny it. But if not… young lady, how do you plan to take legal responsibility?”

“Fuck off, are you lecturing me about the law?”

Before Xu Chaomu could respond, Li Beiting roared in a domineering tone.

Though she disagreed with Li Beiting on some matters, Xu Chaomu still gave him a nod of approval at that moment.

It turned out Li Beiting was fairly righteous towards Weiwei.

Having someone to cover you sure felt good.

With that one yell from Li Beiting, the room once again fell silent.

Only the “whooshing” sound of the air conditioning could be heard.

“President Li, truly, this matter has nothing to do with us. If you want to pursue responsibility, we’re not afraid; we can just see you in court,” the men bluffed.

They recognized Li Beiting, after all, in normal times, they were wary of Li Beiting.

After all, Li Beiting was Shen Chi’s best friend..
