Chapter 226: Threatening Xiaoran to Compromise
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Mrs. Lu and Lu Mo arrived at the police station to bail Li Changhai out, they were rejected by the staff. “The higher-ups specially instructed that Li Changhai can’t be released on bail.”
“Why?” Lu Mo shouted. “He didn’t cause any major safety incidents. Why can’t he be released on bail?”
The staff explained, “Li Changhai caused trouble in the Huo family’s mall, and the Huo family sued him for causing trouble. There’s also another plaintiff who insists on suing him for murder. Both plaintiffs refuse to show their understanding, so Li Changhai can’t be released on bail unless there are special circumstances.”
Lu Mo understood. The Huo family was extremely powerful. Huo Xiaoran had already informed the police station, so she couldn’t take Uncle Li away.
She pulled Mrs. Lu out. “Mom, let’s go find Senior Xiaoran. As long as he shows up, Uncle Li will be released on bail.”
Mother Lu followed Lu Mo out of the police station.
They drove their small car straight to Huo Xiaoran’s office at Angel Group.
When Huo Xiaoran saw the mother and daughter, his expression was unprecedentedly gloomy. Lu Mo didn’t see his expression and rushed into the CEO’s office and started acting coquettishly. “Senior, Uncle Li has been arrested. Can you help me bail him out?”
Huo Xiaoran looked at the pale Lu Mo and couldn’t bear to see her like this. “Momo, do you know what he did?”
Lu Mo said with tears in her eyes, “I know. He broke the Huo family’s chandelier and almost hit Qiao An.”
Huo Xiaoran’s tone was slightly cold. “Since you already know, how can you be so unreasonable? He deserves to be locked up.”
Lu Mo said, “Senior, Uncle Li is very good to me. He’s very kind, but sometimes his mental state is unstable and he will do stupid things.”
“He’s mentally ill?” Huo Xiaoran was stunned.
Mrs. Lu took out a stack of reports from her bag and handed it to Huo Xiaoran. She explained, “Her Uncle Li had a hard life. His parents died in a car accident when he was very young. Later, a couple adopted him, but they quickly had their own children. Ever since then, they’ve been scolding him. It’s caused him a lot of mental damage.”
“His mental illness lasted for a long time. Later, I took pity on him and brought him back to the Lu family. I treated him. After his condition stabilized, he stayed behind to be my driver. His condition has been relatively stable over the years, but there are times when he’s abnormal.”
“He’s grateful and treats my daughter like his own. Presumably, after Momo got together with you, you got too close to Qiao An and upset Momo. That’s what agitated her Uncle Li.”
Huo Xiaoran flipped through his medical report. As expected, the report from his teens showed that he had intermittent mental illness.
Huo Xiaoran looked at the report and saw that his life was exactly the same as his. He couldn’t help but pity him.
“Even if his experience is pitiful, he has hurt Qiao An time and time again. If I let him off easily, who can protect Qiao An?” Huo Xiaoran was still angry.
Mrs. Lu said, “Xiaoran, don’t worry. After he comes out, I’ll send him to the countryside to retire and make him never step foot in the capital again. How about that?”
Huo Xiaoran was unmoved.
Mrs. Lu simply placed the LV bag in front of Huo Xiaoran and took out a pinhole camera. She said, “Xiaoran, Li Changhai isn’t the only one who did something illegal. Qiao An also did something illegal.”
“This is her gift to Momo. She has this in the compartment. If we hand her over to the police station, will you be as calm as you are now?”
Huo Xiaoran’s face turned pale.
He picked up the camera and held it tightly in his fist. The camera knocked his palm until it burned.
He finally chose to compromise.
“Since he has a history of mental illness, why should I show up? Just tell the police and they’ll do it according to the law.”
An unnatural look flashed across Mrs. Lu’s eyes because she knew that Driver Li’s mental illness had been cured for many years. If she went through the legal procedures, Driver Li would definitely not receive special treatment.
Lu Mo wheedled to Huo Xiaoran. “Senior, our engagement banquet is the day after tomorrow. I want Uncle Li to witness our happy times. Only with your help will they be willing to let him go.”
Huo Xiaoran was silent. He was unwilling to help the wicked, not to mention that this person was the murderer who had hurt Qiao An.
Lu Mo was about to cry. “Senior, please.”
Huo Xiaoran also knew that they had something on Qiao An, so he could only choose mercy. “Alright, I agree to bail him out. However, if you dare to reveal anything about this, don’t blame me for being heartless.”
Lu Mo shivered.
She was clearly Huo Xiaoran’s fiancée, but why did she feel that Qiao An was his favorite?
A cold glint flashed across Lu Mo’s eyes.
Li Changhai was released on bail that day.
After Qiao An received this news from the police officer, she was furious. She called to question Huo Xiaoran. “Huo Xiaoran, the sheriff said that you bailed Li Changhai out? Is that right?”
“Yes.” Huo Xiaoran’s voice was filled with frustration.
“Huo Xiaoran, you’re with him, right?” Qiao An was furious.
“You bailed him out because you wanted to see him get me killed?”
“I’m so fucking childish. I almost believed you. I thought you were different from them. You’re birds of a feather.”
Qiao An, who was controlled by anger, vented her anger without thinking and stabbed Huo Xiaoran with the most vicious words.
“Qiao An…” Huo Xiaoran said weakly,” They discovered you spying on them. ”
Qiao An’s instantly went silent.
Huo Xiaoran said, “They used this matter to threaten me. An’an, I’m sorry. I can’t let anything happen to you.”
Qiao An sniffed and shouted, “Who wants you to care? I thought of the consequences when I did this. Just send him to jail. It doesn’t matter what happens to me.”
“An’an!” Huo Xiaoran roared angrily.
Qiao An flinched at his shout and instantly fell silent.
Huo Xiaoran said, “I want you to live well.”
Qiao An was speechless.
The air suddenly became quiet.
After a long while, Qiao An said, “I heard from Xiao Yue that the day after tomorrow is your engagement party with Lu Mo?”
“Yes.” Huo Xiaoran’s voice was extremely low.
“Congratulations, then.”
“Will you come?” Huo Xiaoran asked.
“Will you invite me?”
“I don’t know. Qiao An, did I lose you?” He was miserable.
Qiao An said, “Maybe I lost you.”
Huo Xiaoran and Lu Mo’s engagement banquet came as scheduled.
