Chapter 494: Wasn’t It Malicious Assault? Is There Anything Else?

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Cheng had not appeared for two years. This was big news.

However, it seemed like he was not ready to come out of seclusion as he was only here to solve an inconspicuous case. He was probably here to help a friend.

Nonetheless, this was already enough to make people excited.

Countless people wanted to find Gu Cheng for their cases.

After Gu Cheng entered, Lu Qing sat outside and waited.

About an hour later, Gu Cheng came out.

The arrogant look on his face made Lu Qing frown slightly. He did not know how he became a lawyer with such an indecent look.

Lu Qing stood up and went up to him.

“Mr. Gu Cheng?”

He called out tentatively. That was what Mr. Shen had called him just now.

Gu Cheng stopped in his tracks and looked at him.

Lu Qing frowned and looked at him with a serious expression. “Are you really confident in the case?”

Malicious assault was no small matter.

Gu Cheng looked at him and found it funny. “No one has ever doubted me…” Wait a minute, there was that Huo Jinyan from before.

Amazing. As soon as I showed up, two people already questioned my ability.

Gu Cheng was inexplicably irritated.

He looked at Lu Qingqing and said coolly, “It’s none of your business. You don’t even know her current situation.’

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Lu Qing immediately raised his hand and grabbed him. “What do you mean? Wasn’t it malicious assault? Is there anything else?”

Gu Cheng shook off his hand and followed the police officer to the other side.

Lu Qing:

He immediately turned around to find someone to ask about the situation.

The case would not be told to outsiders, but Lu Qing was Lu Nings brother and family member, so the police still briefly explained the situation to him.

“Regarding the malicious assault incident, we’ve already proven that Li Nian’s account and yours are accurate, and that you two weren’t involved. It was Lu Ning who hit someone. The exact outcome will still depend on further investigations, because Lu Ning accused Li Lang of attempted rape…”

Lu Qing no longer could hear the rest of the sentence. The only thing that came to his mind were those two words that made his face turn pale instantly.

“What!? What did you say?!’

He looked at the police officer and asked again, a little too loudly. The police officer was startled, but was understanding. He repeated himself.

Lu Qings body was a little weak. He could not believe what he had heard.

No wonder Li Nian was so anxious to bring him in. She must have known Li Lang’s character.

At that time, they were only shocked that Lu Ning hit someone and did not know why. So he did not ask… Lu Qing started to panic.

If she hadn’t resisted…

If he had arrived a little later…

Then…

He did not dare to think about how serious and irreversible the consequences would be!

When Huo Jinyan came again, it was already early in the morning. Lu Qing was still sitting in the office, his head leaning against the wall and his eyes staring into the distance.

Huo Jinyan sat next to him. Even though the police had told him that he could not see Lu Ning, he still came despite being exhausted.

He just felt at ease sitting here, closer to where she was.

When Lu Qing realized that Huo Jinyan was sitting beside him, he turned to look at him.

At night, he belatedly found out that Lu Ning had been taken away from school, so he thought of the waves she had been making recently. He wondered how many people would be gossiping behind her back.

However, when he went online to look around and was preparing to contact someone, he realized that there was nothing on the Internet, and what little was said had caught no attention at all.

Someone had already taken care of these matters first.

And this person was probably Huo Jinyan..
