Chapter 27 Saving Her from Prison

“Why is it so serious?” Li Qianming’s low voice reached Chi Yaoxi’s ears.

Hearing the man’s familiar voice, Chi Yaoxi felt inexplicably at ease. She knew that there was a limit to visiting hours like this, so she should quickly get to the point. “Someone must be trying to frame me on purpose. The police said to use the surveillance footage as evidence. I don’t think the surveillance footage can prove anything. It could have been edited. Li… Qian Ming, please help me check the surveillance footage on the deck.” She was still not used to calling the man’s name, but that was all she could do.

“I’ve already sent someone to check. The surveillance cameras on the deck of the cruise are damaged.”

The surveillance cameras on the deck were damaged? Chi Yaoxi became even more anxious after hearing this. Things did not go the way she expected.

“Then, what’s the point of me looking for witnesses to testify? I must have just finished talking to Xiao Ye when the accident happened. There was only a few minutes between the two matters.”

Li Qianming didn’t answer, he picked up his phone and called, “Lawyer Tang, come in for a moment.” Seeing the man doing his best to help her think of a solution, even bringing his lawyer over, Chi Yaoxi felt grateful.

After understanding the situation, Lawyer Tang gave his opinion. “The lawsuit does not stipulate that friends cannot become witnesses, but the testimony of acquaintances is very ineffective. It’s not very useful. We can only try our best. There are benefits and no disadvantages.”

The few of them reached an agreement and Chi Yaoxi finally saw a glimmer of hope.

On the way home, the little fella switched on his computer. He was constantly paying attention to news about his mommy on the internet. The little fella knew that he couldn’t help with other important matters, but he could still handle the rumors online.

The moment the computer turned on, the little guy’s eyes widened in surprise. He saw that bad news and many pictures had appeared on the Internet again! Moreover, many websites were reposting it. Mommy’s bad news had always been at the top of the search rankings. Even the entire media and entertainment industry was in an uproar.

The child was panicking and worried for his mother. Why wasn’t the news suppressed when the websites had been hacked?! There were more and more rumors on all the major media networks. Did something go wrong? The little fellow hugged his computer and scratched his cheek anxiously.

On the day of the incident, Xiao Ye received a call. The board of directors of the company was in a mess because of the dispute over the shares.

By the time he heard the news, Chi Yaoxi had already been taken away by the police.

Initially, he thought that Chi Yaoxi was just assisting in the investigation, so she followed along to record a statement and would return very quickly.

While Xiao Ye was in a meeting, he received a call from the police. They said that Chi Yaoxi was still in the detention center and asked him to testify.

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment before he realized the seriousness of the matter. He quickly left the company’s mess and hurriedly drove out.

Xiao Ye, who had always been calm when dealing with matters, could no longer remain calm this time. He tried his best to sort out his thoughts. On the way, he turned on the speaker and made a call while driving.

After asking around, he found out that the police officer said that Chi Yaoxi had sufficient motive for the crime and that there was evidence of someone at the crime scene. The time and location coincided with each other, and if there were no other certified material evidence, she might be sentenced.

Xiao Ye frowned deeply and his eyes were filled with ruthlessness. These police officers really had limited ability to solve cases!

“Chief Liao, this matter has blown up big time. I can stand as a witness and it won’t be a problem even if it costs me. The most important thing is to send professional police officers to investigate and collect evidence at the scene to clear Miss Chi’s name!”

When Xiao Ye finished arranging everything and arrived at the detention center to see Chi Yaoxi, his heart couldn’t help but ache.

This was really not a place for people to stay. It had only been a day and a night, but Chi Yaoxi had already become haggard.

Xiao Ye walked over and shook Chi Ya’s hand forcefully, telling her not to worry. He was thinking of a way to deal with it. Chi Yaoxi was full of gratitude. She didn’t say anything and only gently nodded.
