Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Judged as Manslaughter
"Weiwei," Meng Qiancheng stood beside her and spoke softly, "I’ll take you to your sister’s place."
Zhou Lin decisively grabbed Cheng Zhiwei, ready to leave.
Meng Qiancheng curled his lips mockingly, "Zhou Lin, can’t you just stop deceiving yourself? You had the police bring Zhiwei here, isn’t it because you think Zhiwei pushed Bai Zhuzhu?"
"Meng Qiancheng, shut up," Zhou Lin’s sharp gaze fiercely looked towards Meng Qiancheng, "You have no right to speak here."
He became angry.
The next second, his hand was thrown off by Cheng Zhiwei, who stepped back a few steps to Meng Qiancheng’s side and looked at Zhou Lin indifferently, "I’m going to my sister’s home."
"Cheng Zhiwei," Zhou Lin stepped forward.
"Zhou Lin, didn’t you hear? She doesn’t want to go with you," Meng Qiancheng stepped forward, unyielding, blocking Zhou Lin’s way, invisible sparks flying between them.
Zhou Lin’s face darkened, his fist clenched, and he punched Meng Qiancheng, "I’ve tolerated you for a long time."
Meng Qiancheng merely licked the corner of his mouth, looking at Zhou Lin provocatively, "That’s all you’re capable of..."
Zhou Lin clenched his fist and lifted it.
But the next second, Cheng Zhiwei stood in front of Meng Qiancheng, her face devoid of color, her eyes coldly fixed on him.
Zhou Lin’s heart clenched fiercely, burning with rage, he looked at her through gritted teeth, "You’re defending him?"
Cheng Zhiwei responded with a sneering tone, "At least he believes in me."
Unlike him, who had questioned why she didn’t come forward to speak up for Bai Zhuzhu, ultimately causing Bai Zhuzhu to lose her life.
Or rather, he thought she was so malignant that she actually pushed someone into traffic.
Now, for the sake of the Zhou family’s reputation, he still had to wrangle on her behalf.
Zhou Lin didn’t speak but forcefully pulled her into his embrace, his iron arm wrapped tightly around her waist, not loosening an inch.
Meng Qiancheng attempted to step forward but was stopped by the bodyguard.
Cheng Zhiwei was forcefully stuffed into the car by Zhou Lin and taken back to Sparkling Sky City.
She got out of the car numbly and was escorted by Zhou Lin through the door.
"My goodness, how could someone push another person into the road, that’s intentional murder, right?"
"This is just too malicious in broad daylight."
The voices of the servants discussing could be heard clearly, word for word, Cheng Zhiwei was the murderer.
Zhou Lin kicked open the slightly ajar door with one foot, and the loud noise startled the two gossiping servants inside. When they turned and saw the master’s face, their faces turned pale immediately.
"Get out," Zhou Lin said coldly.
Cheng Zhiwei walked past them expressionlessly and went upstairs to the bedroom.
She began to pack her things, fortunately there weren’t many, a single suitcase was enough to fit everything.
As she was carrying her suitcase out, she was blocked by Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin frowned at her, "What are you doing?"
"Leaving here."
Zhou Lin took the suitcase back, "Stay at home, I will handle Bai Zhuzhu’s matter."
"I didn’t push her." Cheng Zhiwei pursed her lips, all emotions erupting at this moment, her eyes reddening, "You have no right to keep me here."
Zhou Lin’s phone rang, on the way back it kept ringing, there were very important matters.
"Cheng Zhiwei, get the situation straight, it’s not about you saying you didn’t push her, it’s all about evidence." Zhou Lin’s tone was grave, "And the evidence is that you are a major suspect, do you have any idea how troublesome it is for me to help you clear the charges at this critical moment?"
Zhou Jinzhong watched with eager anticipation, finally seizing the opportunity, he would definitely launch a fierce attack.
And he had to deal with Zhou Jinzhong without letting Cheng Zhiwei go to jail.
"Clear the charges?" Cheng Zhiwei read the words with self-deprecation, "If I didn’t push her, what crime have I committed?"
Zhou Lin stared at Cheng Zhiwei, her face very pale, her soft long hair becoming a bit frizzy from all the trouble, just like her temper at the moment.
He rubbed his brow, enduring the fatigue, attempting to reason with Cheng Zhiwei, "What I mean is, the current evidence is highly unfavorable to you, the police’s initial investigation result is that you are a major suspect for intentional homicide, even if you prove she wasn’t pushed by you, it would still be manslaughter, and you would go to jail, do you understand?"
"You don’t need to worry about it."
"If I don’t worry about you, are you expecting Meng Qiancheng to take care of you?"
Cheng Zhiwei coldly interrupted him, "Zhou Lin, don’t drag unwilling people into this."
Zhou Lin’s phone rang again, he looked down at it and said to Cheng Zhiwei, "Stay home during this time and don’t go out."
Cheng Zhiwei asked herself if she could stay calm and stay here, "I’ll stay at my sister’s place these few days."
"Your situation hasn’t been cleared up yet, are you planning to cause trouble for her if you go back?" Zhou Lin gripped his phone tightly, directly opened a video for Cheng Zhiwei to see, "The incident has been exposed online, if you want her to live in unrest, then go back."
Cheng Zhiwei let Zhou Lin arrange for Cheng Zhiyin and Guo Cuihua to leave Yucheng earlier, but Cheng Zhiyin was with a language group participating in a competition, they had to wait till the competition was over, so it had been dragging on until now.
Cheng Zhiwei watched the video, suddenly feeling all strength leave her, her legs went weak and she sat at the edge of the bed.
Zhou Lin’s phone rang again, and he hurriedly left.
Cheng Zhiwei sat dazedly for a while, then her phone rang.
Xu Tian’s voice was fraught with urgency, "Xiao Yueyue, Bai Zhuzhu is dead?"
Cheng Zhiwei replied weakly with a low "Mhm."
"I saw online that they’re saying you pushed her? It couldn’t be you, right?" Xu Tian said, then hesitated, "Did she provoke you and you accidentally did it?"
"It wasn’t me." Cheng Zhiwei chuckled bitterly, she had seen the footage at the police station, whether it was videos from passersby or surveillance, they all looked like she had pushed, and the crux of the matter was their relationship was really bad, no wonder she was suspected of retaliating in a moment of anger.
"This is really a huge misunderstanding." Xu Tian comforted Cheng Zhiwei, "Justice resides in people’s hearts, it’ll be fine. Plus, I’ve seen several key search terms have been censored, so it shouldn’t be a big deal."
"Hope so." Cheng Zhiwei sighed, Zhou Lin still needed her now, so he presumably wouldn’t let things develop so wildly.
Cheng Zhiwei didn’t sleep all night, every time she closed her eyes, Bai Zhuzhu’s unyielding death, Seo Zhenzhen’s vicious gloating, Zhou Lin questioning her why she wouldn’t forgive, intertwined and tangled up, causing a severe headache.
And the matter of Bai Zhuzhu’s car accident not only didn’t get suppressed, it got worse.
Someone had leaked information that Cheng Zhiwei once stole her best friend Seo Zhenzhen’s boyfriend, leading to Seo Zhenzhen’s car accident that resulted in the loss of her legs, and linked it with Bai Zhuzhu’s fatal car accident, Cheng Zhiwei was instantly lambasted online, completely covered in scandal.
All sorts of curses and abuse crazily flooded her social media accounts, vehemently venting emotions.
Cheng Zhiwei felt a tightness in her chest as she read, emotions fiercely tearing at her mind.
"Young Madam, don’t take the stuff online to heart." Wang Mei consoled, "The young master will handle it properly."
