When asked about the details of the case, he clammed up.

"I'll wait for my lawyer to arrive."

The questioning officer was about to get angry, but the officer taking notes nearby stopped him. He gave a look to the other officer, as if he recognized the name and company mentioned, and was being cautious.

During the questioning, Shu Tinglan answered frankly and clearly explained everything that happened. Of course, she only briefly mentioned Zhuo Yu'an's assault, focusing instead on Xu Tao's harassment of her.

Xu Tao, at another table, immediately stood up and covered his wound, shouting when he heard this.

“Don’t spout nonsense, my wounds are right here.”

Not to mention that the police were already biased towards him, even his conspicuous wound gave Zhuo Yu'an and Shu Tinglan a complete disadvantage.

Shutinglan was both angry and nervous, turning to look at Zhu Yu'an. He, however, remained calm and collected, not taking the current disadvantage to heart at all.

After questioning, they were taken to a small room and locked inside.

"Where's your lawyer" Shu Tinglan asked.

"No, the lawyer is in Senzhou and can't get here in time."

Shù Tíng Lán

Here, even though she is the victim, she is completely at a disadvantage. Just now, Xu Tao's meaning was to drive them to their deaths. If they settle privately, with Xu Tao's influence, they wouldn't be able to leave Qining City at all; if they go public, with forensic evidence and Xu Tao secretly manipulating things, how long will the sentence be If Zhuo Yunan once gets charged with a criminal case, the impact on Zhuo Yuan Technology would be almost devastating.

This is a dead end!

"I'm sorry."

She was down in the dumps, with no way out.

Zhuo Yu'an looked at her, for a long time before finally speaking.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Zhuo Yu'an borrowed the phone and walked to a corner to make a call, his back facing Shu Tinglan. Because his voice was very low, Shu Tinglan could only faintly hear him say:

"Uncle Zhang."

"I am at Qining Police Station."

"Okay, please."

When he came back, his expression was still as usual, but Shu Tinglan suddenly felt enlightened. She had underestimated Zhuo Yu'an's abilities just now. At such a young age, he could start from scratch and become successful, so how could he not have some means to protect himself

Although Xu Tao outside was making a lot of noise and putting on a big show, he was nothing more than a reckless brute with no vision and simplistic methods. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to violate Shu Tinglan in broad daylight.

After about ten minutes, the chief of the police station strode towards their room and personally opened the door, asking them to go out.

"Mr. Zhuo, I'm so sorry, it was all a misunderstanding. Please come out quickly."

Zuo Yu'an's eyes were like blades as he looked at the captain, interrogating him.

"A misunderstanding"

His eyes had a murderous glint, the chief was taken aback and immediately changed his tune.

"No, it's not a misunderstanding. It's Xu Tao's attempted rape. We will definitely uphold the law."

Only then did Zhuo Yu'an's face become calm.

"You're welcome."

The situation changed abruptly. Xu Tao and his brother on the side were still unaware of what had happened and had already been handcuffed.

Charges of "rape, assault..." have been filed.

Zhuoyu'an didn't linger at the police station for a second, he dragged Shutinglan's hand and walked out. There was already a car waiting to pick him up outside.

Mr. Zhu, this way.

They got in the car, Zhu Yugan gave the address, it was the hotel he booked.

"I'm taking a flight back to Senzhou tonight. Could you drop me off at my hotel I need to take my luggage to the airport." Now that everything was settled, Shu Tinglan just wanted to leave Qining as soon as possible. She had no fondness for this place where she grew up.

"Tomorrow is Saturday, cancel the plane tickets and stay with me in Qining for two days."

Shu Tinglan wanted to leave Qining as soon as possible, fearing that the longer he stayed, the more things could go wrong, but he remained incredibly calm.

Seeing that Shu Tinglan hadn't agreed, he turned to her: "Shu Tinglan, I just saved you."

"I just saved you." His eyes finally weren't as gloomy as before, but burned with intensity, looking at her.

Shu Tinglan immediately understood his meaning, asking her to be grateful and not burn bridges. She originally thought that Qining was unsafe and she needed to leave Xu Tao's sphere of influence as soon as possible, but after thinking about the chief's 180-degree attitude change at the police station just now, the "Uncle Zhang" he called on the phone must be a big shot. At least they were safe in Qining for the next two days.

"Okay," she said, releasing her grip.

Zuo Yu'an had booked the largest five-star hotel in Qining, and it was a presidential suite on the top floor. It was both luxurious and incredibly private. Stepping out of the exclusive elevator onto the soft carpet, Shu Tinglan's tightly wound heart finally relaxed.

From the teahouse all the way to the police station, even until just now, she had only been holding on with sheer willpower. She wasn't as fearless and composed as she appeared. The places where Xu Tao had touched her already felt like hundreds of insects crawling all over her, making her nauseous.

Zhuo Yu'an walked ahead, and just before entering the room, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Shu Tinglan.

"If I were to be a step late today, do you know the consequences"

"I know, but that's my job," she nodded. If it weren't for Zhuo YUAN appearing today like a godsend, her life might have been ruined this time. Forced by Xu Tao, with no way to complain.

"Thank you today." She was awkward with words, especially when it came to expressing emotions. "Thank you" was all she could manage. But everything else was held deep inside her heart.

Zuo Yu'an didn't know what he was thinking, his expression changed again, seeming angry.

“Shu Tinglan, you knew there was danger, why did you go to the appointment If I hadn't changed my flight and come back early today, if Ning hadn't been here, or if I hadn't seen your location on WeChat Moments, what would have happened to you What if something had happened to you Would Hongzheng Law Firm give you an award Or would your Mr. Xiao compensate you This isn't called being responsible, this is called foolish. Any behavior that disregards one's own safety is extremely stupid...”

He had a lot of angry words he wanted to say, but seeing Shu Tinglan's red-rimmed eyes, he swallowed them back down.

He opened the door and went straight to the bathroom, running hot water for Shu Tinglan and commanding...

"Go take a shower."

Shu Tinglan obediently went into the bathroom. The moment she closed the door, all her tense emotions and fear welled up. She washed herself over and over again, then hid in the bathtub for a long time until her skin turned red. Only then did she slowly come out, her mood already back to normal.

Her yukata was a bit too big, hanging loosely on her frame. Her fair skin had a faint blush, and she looked frail overall.

Zuo Yu'an was on the phone on the balcony of the living room. Hearing movement, he glanced back at her, his brows furrowed. He didn't know if he was angry with her or the person on the other end of the phone.

The call came from his father, Zhu Hong. His voice was commanding and serious as he questioned...

"Why did you go to Qining out of the blue" what Shu Tinglan had said that day, that as long as she wanted, no one could compete with her in the cooperation between Zhuoyuan Technology and Listening Whale Finance.If her two children are also M...
