Chapter 726: Chapter 726: Third Uncle, Save Me

Five minutes later, Li Qiao sat in the car and dialed Zong Yue’s phone.

Her sister-in-law was skilled and safe.

That afternoon Li Qiao had specifically asked Xi Luo, making sure there was nothing fishy about the dinner before she decided not to interfere.

But it was still necessary to ask about the situation.

Soon, the call connected amidst some noise, and Li Qiao asked quietly, "Sister-in-law, are you still at the dinner?"

Zong Yue was silent for a while before she responded softly, "Qiaoqiao, I am at the police station..."

...

North City Police Branch.

In the brightly lit case handling hall, the police were dealing with a dispute.

Li Qiao got out of the car and went in, looked around, and quickly saw Zong Yue sitting in the corner with her head drooping, apparently waiting to make a statement.

A few salespeople from a fund company were being questioned by the officers one by one.

Li Qiao narrowed her eyes and stepped forward, just as an officer approached Zong Yue with a report in hand, "The injury assessment report is out, and the victim is demanding prosecution for compensation, so prepare yourself."

It looked like Zong Yue was the one who had made a move?

At this moment, the other employees looked at Zong Yue indignantly, "Officer comrade, she was the only one who acted, we were all trying to break it up; please make sure we are not implicated in the responsibility."

Zong Yue looked up at them, and only then did Li Qiao notice her left eye was red and there were a few drops of blood on her T-shirt.

Li Qiao walked up to Zong Yue expressionlessly, lifted her chin, and asked coldly, "Who hit you?"

Zong Yue was stunned for a second, then awkwardly wiped the front of her T-shirt, "It’s, it’s someone else’s blood."

The colleagues hesitated to approach Li Qiao to complain, fearing she might side with Zong Yue.

Soon, Li Qiao understood the whole story.

Simply put, the dinner had been switched.

The dinner tonight was originally organized by a company partner, but due to the partner having an urgent matter, the dinner was rescheduled.

As a result, a few salespeople spontaneously decided to invite some prospective clients to dine together.

These clients were wealthy upstarts with a lot of disposable funds, and the salespeople didn’t inform Zong Yue, instead deceiving her into accompanying the clients for the meal.

It was only at the venue that Zong Yue learned the dinner was not with the original partners. Considering the situation and persuaded by her colleagues, she reluctantly sat down to join them.

In the middle of the meal, several greasy bosses kept forcing Zong Yue to drink, even claiming that they would take her to sleep off the alcohol at a nearby club if she drank too much, with their intentions being all too clear.

Zong Yue refused to drink, claiming an allergy, which angered a Director Lee, who threw his glass at her.

She dodged the glass, but a few drops of liquor still splashed into her eye.

In the end, Zong Yue couldn’t hold back and punched Director Lee.

Because what he had said was extremely offensive.

...

That evening, Zong Yue ended up at the police station, and within half an hour, many people knew about it.

Li Jun rushed to the branch the moment he got the news.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were scared witless as they hurried to North City, fearing something might happen to Zong Yue.

And in Imperial Capital, Zong Zhan arranged for a military plane to fly him straight to the South Sea.

Before long, Li Qiao received a call from Shang Yu, then she looked at Zong Yue with suspicion, "How did your third uncle find out?"

Zong Yue scratched her head and reluctantly pulled a face, "I didn’t want to cause trouble for you guys, so I thought of asking third uncle... to help me out."

It was embarrassing to talk about, and Zong Yue didn’t want Li Jun to know she had landed in the police station for fighting.

Her third uncle had wide connections; a direct phone call to the South Sea Police Station should have been enough to settle everything.

But who knew...

Her third uncle not only informed her parents but also gave Li Jun a harsh scolding.

What kind of irresponsible uncle was this, doing nothing but causing more trouble!
