Chapter 428 Manslaughter

Chapter 428: Chapter 428 Manslaughter

Police station.

Lin Yu and He Mingzhu were anxiously waiting outside for news.

When Secretary Zhang came out, his face didn’t look very good.

Lin Yu hurried to ask him, "What on earth is going on? How could Ah Lin possibly kill someone?"

Secretary Zhang hesitated, as if it was hard for him to start talking about the matter.

Lin Yu felt a darkness before her eyes, "Could it be true? Did he really kill someone?"

Secretary Zhang quickly said, "No, but it might also be...manslaughter..."

"What do you mean?" He Mingzhu furrowed her brows, "What is manslaughter?"

Secretary Zhang explained, "Not long ago, Miss Cheng was injured while saving Young Master Qiqi; the person who hurt Miss Cheng was caught on the spot, and President Zhou was very angry, tormented him a little."

His words were euphemistic, but Lin Yu could imagine what Zhou Lin would do in a fit of rage.

That person could have died from Zhou Lin’s torment.

"Who are you referring to?" He Mingzhu’s voice was tense, a strain of nervousness unusual for her.

Secretary Zhang shook his head, "That person was wearing a hoodie, I don’t know exactly who it is because afterwards, President Zhou had me hand him over to the police. As for how he died, I’m not sure."

What was clear now was that Zhou Lin indeed had tormented the man, and that man was just found dead.

"It’s been several days since then, it might not be because of Ah Lin," He Mingzhu comforted Lin Yu, though she was also speaking to reassure herself.

Secretary Zhang supported Lin Yu, persuading her, "Madam, you should go back first, leave this to me, I’ve already contacted Lawyer Seo, he’s on his way here."

"Was it Zhou Chenyan’s doing?" Lin Yu’s eyes widened, she collapsed into a chair, "I agreed to marry him, how could he do this."

He Mingzhu clenched her fingers and softly consoled Lin Yu, "Mom, don’t worry, I will think of something."

Lin Yu pushed her hand away and covered her face with tears, "My Ah Lin, how did it come to this."

He Mingzhu pursed her lips, "I will do everything I can to save him."

"How are you going to save him?" Lin Yu glared at her resentfully, "The He family isn’t under your control now, can you save him?"

This blunt and sarcastic question hit He Mingzhu right in the heart, her face turned iron blue, a cold light flickered in her eyes.

"Ah Yu." A calm and unhurried voice came.

Zhou Chenyan arrived belatedly.

Lin Yu’s shaking shoulders suddenly stopped, before she could get up, she was pulled to her feet by Zhou Chenyan, his rough fingers caressing the tear on her cheek.

The corners of his mouth curled up indifferently, "Why are you crying, Ah Yu, just ask me for help if you need anything."

Lin Yu’s lips trembled, "It was indeed you."

Zhou Chenyan wrapped his arm around her shoulder, a wanton smile on his face, "Ah Yu, what are you talking about, he killed someone himself, what does it have to do with me?"

"You..."

"What I mean is, if you beg me, I’ll help you get him out."

"Beg you." Lin Yu bit her lip tightly, fury written all over her face.

Zhou Chenyan leaned in close, a sinister aura about him, "Ah Yu, you know what I want?"

Lin Yu trembled, "I’ve already agreed to the wedding with you, what more do you want?"

"But the wedding was not successful, unfortunately," Zhou Chenyan hooked up the corner of his mouth with mockery, "Ah Yu, you’ve not fulfilled your promise."

"You did that on purpose." How could Lin Yu not understand?

Zhou Chenyan purposely had Zhou Lin taken to the police station today, which basically signaled to everyone that the Zhou family was in his hands.

He didn’t really need the wedding with her, he just needed such an occasion to tell everyone that he was the one calling the shots in the Zhou family.

From beginning to end, he wasn’t really sincere about the wedding.

Zhou Chenyan was indeed Zhou Chenyan, an unscrupulous manipulator in all respects.

"No problem, Ah Yu, I will still give you a grand wedding," Zhou Chenyan smiled genially, as if he was playing some enjoyable game.

Lin Yu looked away, "Zhou Chenyan, I believe that Ah Lin will be released."

Her attitude became firm suddenly, a cold look towards Zhou Chenyan.

"You’re a devil."

Zhou Chenyan narrowed his eyes, the look he gave Lin Yu full of deep meaning, a smile that suggested success gradually appeared on his dark face.

"Yes, that’s right, you should be like this," Zhou Chenyan applauded and laughed boisterously, grabbing Lin Yu’s chin, "I absolutely adore the way you defy me, Ah Yu, the more you act like this, the more I can’t stop wanting you."

To see Lin Yu angry, yet having to beg him, he did not hesitate to ruin the wedding he was supposed to host.

He Mingzhu was completely dumbfounded, and felt a chill running down her spine, she had always known Zhou Chenyan was crazy, but had not realized he was crazy to this extent.

"Mingzhu, Mingzhu." Lin Yu pressed her chest, calling out He Mingzhu’s name repeatedly.

He Mingzhu turned pale, bearing Zhou Chenyan’s cool gaze, she held Lin Yu’s hand and asked softly, "What’s wrong?"

"Mingzhu, you just said you would definitely save Ah Lin, right? I’m begging you, you must save him," Lin Yu cried miserably, clinging to He Mingzhu’s hand like a lifeline.

Zhou Chenyan’s mocking gaze turned to He Mingzhu, "Do you have a way to save him?"

Every word laden with immense pressure.

He Mingzhu wanted to shake her head but couldn’t in front of Lin Yu; she wanted to say she would save Zhou Lin, but also knew what the consequences would be if she did.

She was frozen on the spot, unable to move.

Zhou Chenyan didn’t care about her answer, or perhaps her silence had already given him his answer.

He chuckled softly, "Having such a competent daughter-in-law, Ah Yu, is your good fortune."

He Mingzhu instinctively wanted to explain, but Zhou Chenyan had already turned away.

She thought to follow him, but was caught by Lin Yu, crying inconsolably, in a tight embrace.

He Mingzhu soothed Lin Yu patiently, after more than half an hour, her phone had rung many times, finally, she had a moment to answer the call.

He Rongwei’s tone was quite unpleasant, calling her by her full name, "He Mingzhu, what on earth are you trying to do?"

He Mingzhu knew that Zhou Chenyan must have mentioned her intent to help Zhou Lin.

"Dad, listen to my explanation," He Mingzhu said hastily.

"He Mingzhu, you’ve disappointed me greatly," He Rongwei interrupted her, "Do you not understand how important our cooperation with Zhou Chenyan is now, and yet you dare to offend him for Zhou Lin."

"I..."

"I told you last time, don’t be with Zhou Lin, you just wouldn’t listen, now that something has happened, you’ve made everyone lose face, are you satisfied?"

All of He Mingzhu’s explanations were pushed back by a series of reprimands.

She suddenly realized that He Rongwei didn’t want to listen to her explanations at all.

He was focused on blaming her for her mistakes.

How ironic.

"Dad," she started slowly after He Rongwei’s lecture, "From the beginning, you never intended to hand the company over to me, right?"
