Chapter 923: A Visit
Zhou Xiaoxia covered her face and sobbed softly as she asked, “Mr Jiang, what about my brother?”
“Zhou Xiaoguang was detained because he was injured in a fight and had to be hospitalized. However, since he is not even 18 years old, the police cannot legally detain him. I will prepare the relevant procedures and materials to get him out. However, to prevent him from being sued and sent to the juvenile detention center, we should go to the hospital to discuss compensation with the victim. Therefore, it is best to settle this matter privately.”
“It won’t be kept quiet. The victim is Chai Xianglong’s bodyguard.” Zhou Xiaoxia shook her head in despair. “This is a trap set by Chai Xianglong. My brother is only fifteen years old, and his bodyguard is so big. So how could my brother have managed to beat him up?”
“Let’s get Zhou Xiaoguang out of detention first. However, it’s been half a month since Zhou Xiaocheng’s incident. So it may be difficult to obtain any evidence now.” Mr Jiang sighed. “After the incident, did she go to the police station to report it? Did the police take her to the designated hospital for a check-up?”
“Yes, they did; the police brought her to the hospital, but my parents said that they were forced to stop halfway through the check-up. In the end, we couldn’t get the report either. We don’t know much about the situation now.” Zhou Xiaoxia cried until she could not stop. “We don’t have much evidence in our hands. What should we do now?”
“Don’t despair. There’s always the law. Chai Xianglong can’t destroy all the evidence. When the time comes, we’ll get them one by one. There will always be hope.” Mr Jiang comforted Zhou Xiaoxia. “There are quite many witnesses. We just have to think of a way to get them to come forward and testify.”
Perhaps it was because she trusted Mr Jiang that Zhou Xiaoxia’s mood gradually eased after she heard his words. After the three of them chatted for a while in the hotel, Mr Jiang said that he would meet a fellow lawyer to understand the situation in Yuan City. Jiang Yao escorted him out of the hotel room before she went downstairs to check in with Ah Lu and Big Ke. Then, the four of them left the hotel and went to the hospital to visit Zhou Xiaoxia’s parents.
Zhou Xiaoxia’s parents were in a small hospital. The two of them had fainted because they had been worried for their daughter and son. They were rushed to the hospital in their hometown. Their blood pressure was a little high, and they had been upset, so the hospital did not allow them to be discharged. Instead, they were allowed to stay in the hospital for a period to recuperate.
“You are Xiaoxia’s classmate, right?” Mr Zhou was surprised to see Jiang Yao, who had followed Zhou Xiaoxia into their room. He and his wife had been in the hospital for the past few days, so they did not know much about their family’s affairs. They had not heard that their daughter’s classmate was in town.
“Dad, Jiang Yao is my roommate.” Zhou Xiaoxia explained to him. “She also brought a very powerful lawyer with her. He said that he would go to the police station to get Xiaoguang out by tomorrow.”
“Xiaoguang can be released?” Mrs Zhou immediately struggled to sit up from the hospital bed when she heard that. She looked at her daughter’s classmate with tears in her eyes and quickly thanked her. “Miss Jiang, thank you; I’m really grateful!”
Mr Zhou finally snapped back to his senses and apologized. Jiang Yao stood at the side and shook her head to greet him. Then, she used the medical system to scan the health conditions of those two elders. She was relieved when she saw that they did not suffer any severe ailment.
