Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Supporting You

Liu Yahui still wanted to argue a few words, but Chen Ningxi didn’t give her the chance.

"I’ve mentioned more than once in the staff meetings not to spread baseless rumors, whether it’s about male colleagues or female colleagues. Xiangnan Institute is an example, how soon have you forgotten?"

Reminded by Chen Ningxi, Liu Yahui’s face finally showed panic.

Chen Ningxi’s expression was serious, "The incident happened less than half a year ago, and I warned you all to take it as a lesson, but you’ve already forgotten? The person who spread rumors at Xiangnan Institute was administratively detained for six days. Didn’t that serve as a deterrent for you? Or do you not understand that spreading rumors violates the law?"

"!" Don’t scare her with the law.

Liu Yahui hinted, "I wasn’t the one who started this issue."

Wang Qing was stunned, clearly pushed out as a scapegoat, left to take the blame alone.

Anxious, she blurted out, "Even if I said it first, what happened after? You were the one constantly sending messages, posting videos of the two, saying you saw Lu go into Manager Chen’s office and timed them. Wasn’t it you who said Manager Chen and Lu booked a room?"

"I was just guessing about the room booking, why did you take it seriously?" Liu Yahui argued.

"You described it in such detail, who knew you were lying to me." Wang Qing’s eyes reddened, knowing that the matter had blown up and might affect her job.

Lu Xingyan couldn’t take it anymore, angrily rushing forward to grab Liu Yahui’s collar, "I swear I’m going to tear that filthy mouth of yours apart today."

Chen Ningxi, being close, stood up to hold Lu Xingyan back, shouting, "What are you doing? Do you want to hit her? If you punch her, even if you’re right you’ll lose your justification. Sit back down!"

"..." Lu Xingyan looked at Chen Ningxi, his fists clenched and trembling in anger, his breathing heavy.

He glared fiercely at Liu Yahui and then walked back to the chair and sat down.

Chen Ningxi remained calm, saying, "Liu, you’re a veteran in this unit, older than me, listen to what you just said, is it something a mature and cultured person should say? Let alone how many times you’ve clashed with colleagues because of gossip since I joined the unit, have you forgotten? If you really can’t control your mouth, I’ll have to find someone who can, to make sure you learn your lesson."

Liu Yahui doubted anything could be done to her, even if she had made a mistake, thinking Chen Ningxi would downplay the matter due to her family relations.

"I only followed up on Wang Qing’s words, didn’t tell anyone else."

She meant she didn’t reach the number of people for spreading, not constituting a crime.

Chen Ningxi took a deep breath, dealing with someone like Liu Yahui requires undeniable evidence.

"Liu," before Chen Ningxi could speak, Lu Xingyan said, "These dirty rumors you made, you only told Wang Qing?"

Liu Yahui feigned calmness and nodded, "Yes, only her."

Anyone could see Liu Yahui surely mentioned it to others as well, given her personality.

Chen Ningxi asked, "Last chance, who else did you tell?"

How could she admit that, the more people she told, the more it proved her guilt.

Liu Yahui stubbornly shook her head, "I only talked to Wang Qing."

Lu Xingyan closed his eyes, realizing without exposing Liu Yahui, she wasn’t going to admit anything.

"Not only that," Lu Xingyan eyed sharply like a knife, "even my mom knows, she called me specifically to inquire about it, I explained for a long time before she dismissed the idea of coming to the unit to confront you. What do you have to say?"

Liu Yahui blinked, "If she had to confront someone, it would be Wang Qing, it’s got nothing to do with me."

That’s exactly what Lu Xingyan wanted!

"But the words came from your mouth. You told your sister-in-law about our unit’s affairs, and you didn’t expect her to be closely connected with my mom. They communicated, and it led my mom here to Danjiang."

Chen Ningxi asked coldly, "Who else did you tell?"

Liu Yahui lowered her eyes, hesitating on how much to disclose. Saying too much would be unfavorable for her, saying too little would surely not be believed.

While Liu Yahui was weighing her options, Chen Ningxi had already made up her mind, "Liu, there’s no point in you thinking now. Whatever you say, I’m not going to listen."

Liu Yahui didn’t understand why, watched as Chen Ningxi took out her phone, but in the next second, there was a knock on the office door.

Except for Lu Xingyan, the rest of them simultaneously looked toward the door.

Chen Ningxi answered the door, "Come in."

The office door was pushed open, and the security captain in charge of access brought two police station officers into the office.

The security captain said, "Manager Chen, these two officers said someone called the police."

Liu Yahui immediately felt weak in the legs, holding onto the armrest, staring straight at Chen Ningxi.

Though she was going to report it, she hadn’t dialed the number yet.

Chen Ningxi stood up and greeted the two officers, letting the security captain leave first.

Liu Yahui finally realized the severity of the problem, tearfully said, "Manager Chen, you don’t handle matters like this, you even called the police to arrest me."

Chen Ningxi was about to deny when Lu Xingyan interrupted, "I was the one who called the police."

All eyes turned to Lu Xingyan, as he stepped forward to the officers and explained the event, and in order to protect evidence, the officers confiscated the phones of Liu Yahui and Wang Qing, and both were taken into the police car in full view.

Everyone was discussing what could have caused them to be taken away, Yang Yishui gloated from the crowd:

"What business involving Liu Yahui could it be, surely that rotten mouth of hers again."

The speaker was someone who had been gossiped about by Liu Yahui before, and seeing her taken away by the police this time, he felt secretly pleased, finally someone was helping him vent his frustration.

Following that, Chen Ningxi and Lu Xingyan also walked out of the office building.

Luo Xintong saw them and boldly speculated, "Could it be that she gossiped about Manager Chen and Lu, and someone called the police?"

Lu Xingyan’s mentor, Master Wu, snorted coldly, "You believe what she says, then pigs can climb trees."

Liu Yahui covered her face, stealing glances outside, only to see people from the courtyard and windows upstairs watching the spectacle.

Now she was thoroughly embarrassed.

Chen Ningxi drove as the police car left the unit, dialing Cheng Qiaobei’s phone.

"Are you busy?" asked Chen Ningxi.

Cheng Qiaobei was looking at franchise contracts, did not say busy, nor not busy.

"What’s up? Go ahead."

Chen Ningxi said, "I’m heading to Minxin Road Police Station now, if you don’t have anything urgent, could you come over?"

Cheng Qiaobei closed the documents, stood up, "Alright, I’ll be there soon."

Passing by Wei Lai’s office, he said, "Put the contract on my desk away. I’m going out to handle something urgent."

Seeing him in such a hurry, Wei Lai quickly responded, "Okay, Cheng."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ningxi took a deep breath.

Seeing that she was close to Minxin Road Police Station, Cheng Qiaobei called again, "Honey, have you arrived?"

Chen Ningxi said, "Almost there."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "I’ll take a while getting to the police station, let Lawyer Jin meet you there first and discuss if there’s anything, I’ll arrive shortly after."

Chen Ningxi laughed, "You don’t even ask if it’s my issue, yet you send the lawyer? What if I’m the one causing trouble?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "If you’re causing trouble, I’m here to back you up."
