Chapter 341: Chapter 330 He Hanguang is Captured Chapter 341: Chapter 330 He Hanguang is Captured After finishing afternoon tea, Lu Jiaxin went back ho, and Wang Yadan honestly returned to work without skipping out early. Her coworkers saw the bag she was carrying and approached with envy, touching it and saying, “Sister Dan, that’s the latest luxury handbag, it costs more than twenty thousand!”
Wang Yadan replied with a smile, “This bag was a gift from Miss Lu. Not only is Miss Lu smart and beautiful, but she’s also amiable and generous. Our boss is really lucky!”
A female colleague said with a hint of sourness, “Using the boss’s card to buy you a bag to make you happy, Miss Lu sure knows how to play the ga.”
Wang Yadan glanced at her and replied, “Miss Lu used her own card.”
“How is that possible, how could she have so much money?”
Wang Yadan, hinting at sothing, said, “Although Miss Lu cos from the Mainland, she’s very capable. She started studying while doing business at fifteen and had earned millions before coming to Hong Kong. She doesn’t rely on the boss; she could beco a billionaire on her own rits.”
This statent served to set the record straight for Lu Jiaxin, letting everyone know she was highly capable and not just a goldfinch kept by Nie Zhan.
Lu Jiaxin was unaware of these rumors, but even if she were, she wouldn’t care. What others said was their business; she just needed to focus on doing what she was supposed to do.
That evening, Nie Zhan called her, and as soon as she answered, he apologized, “I’m sorry, I’ve missed our appointnt again today. You didn’t wait too long for , did you?”
Lu Jiaxin said it wasn’t a big deal and asked, “How is your grandfather now, is it serious?”
Nie Zhan shook his head to indicate it wasn’t serious, “He just twisted his ankle while walking in the garden, luckily soone was there to support him. The doctor said it will be fine after so days of rest.”
Lu Jiaxin said, “For a twisted ankle, you should consult a traditional Chinese dicine practitioner. If it’s not serious, one session of massage should suffice. There should be so good orthopedic practitioners of traditional Chinese dicine in Hong Kong, right?”
Nie Zhan, not familiar with Chinese dicine, asked after hearing her confidence, “Does traditional Chinese dicine really have such good effects?”
After thinking, Lu Jiaxin responded, “I think Secretary Wang must have told you about my condition when I sold the antique paintings to you, right? Back then, I was frail and pale, but after half a year of treatnt, when I stood in front of Secretary Wang again, she couldn’t recognize .”
Upon hearing this, Nie Zhan imdiately said, “I’ll look into it.”
Before they could talk much more, Lu Jiaxin heard soone calling for Nie Zhan, “You go ahead with your work, I’m going to do yoga now. I ate quite a bit today, so I need to do a little extra.”
She was at her standard weight now, with a perfect body shape, so she neither wanted to gain weight nor lose it, just maintain as is.
Nie Zhan, who never interfered with her affairs, said, “Don’t tire yourself out, and make sure to rest early tonight.”
Lu Jiaxin laughed, “That’s sothing I should be telling you. I go to bed before ten o’clock every day, while you often work overti. Staying up late not only causes significant harm to your health, but also leads to hair loss more easily.”
Finishing, she purposefully teased, “You’re already ten years older than , and if you don’t take care o yourself, when we go out people will mistake us for father and daughter.”
Nie Zhan couldn’t help but laugh and cry; twenty-seven was supposed to be the pri of life, and now he was starting to feel a sense of crisis, “Don’t worry, that day will never co.”
Nie Jingwen, seeing the smile on his lips, knew he had just got off the phone with his girlfriend, “You’ve been dating Miss Lu for such a long ti, isn’t it about ti you brought her ho to et Grandpa?”
Nie Zhan rejected the idea without hesitation, “If I bring her back, the dia might fabricate stories, inevitably putting a lot of pressure on her. Right now, she wants to focus on her studies. eting Grandpa can wait until she graduates from college.”
She had just started college, and there was quite a wait until graduation. However, seeing how considerate he was, Nie Jingwen felt that Lu Jiaxin was quite impressive for having conquered his brother, who was as cold as an iceberg.
In the early morning, Lu Jiaxin got up to jog. After an hour of running outside, she was completely drenched in sweat. She had just sat down when she received a call from Su Heyuan.
“What, He Hanguang has been arrested?”
Big Brother Su grunted and said, “Yes, he was arrested last night.”
“What did he do?”
Big Brother Su continued, “Murder.”
After asking for more details, it turned out that He Hanguang had been with his girlfriend yesterday. For so unknown reason, they got into a fight that turned physical, and then she fell off the balcony; she’s currently in critical condition.
Big Brother Su said, “This is murder, unless conclusive evidence can be found that he didn’t do it, it will be very difficult for him to escape the charge.”
Lu Jiaxin responded calmly, “Without definitive evidence that he killed her, and based on the principle that the benefit of doubt goes to the defendant, he might eventually be acquitted.”
Big Brother Su knew the laws in Hong Kong were different from the Mainland, but he felt that He Hanguang was unlikely to escape legal punishnt this ti.
After ten o’clock, Lu Jiaxin saw a magazine that had co in, which reported the news of He Hanguang’s arrest. Hong Kong dia have freedom of speech, so the words are rather sharp, sotis even appearing quite harsh. The magazine labeled He Hanguang a violent maniac and a murderer and went on to insult every man in the He family.
Lu Jiaxin handed the article to the three bodyguards beside her and, after they had all read it, she asked, “What do you think about this?”
Zong Jinghua was the first to share his opinion, “The He family has a powerful team of lawyers, He Hanguang might very well be acquitted.”
In Hong Kong, there is nothing that money can’t do; if not, it simply ans the price wasn’t high enough.
Qian Xiaoxiao said, “Big Brother Gu, Big Brother Zong, we can’t let him get off scot-free. Only if every mber of the He family is behind bars, will Sister Xin truly be safe.”
Inwardly, Lu Jiaxin thought, only when the He family is bankrupt would she be truly safe.
Zong Jinghua didn’t contradict her. The He family mbers were indeed dangerous; with He Hanxuan dead and the second young master of the He family being a doctor who was clueless about business, if He Hanguang were also imprisoned, the He family would basically be finished and no longer a concern.
Gu Wenfeng said, “Let’s see the results of the police investigation.”
As lunchti approached, Aunt i called, sounding very anxious, “Miss Cousin, the Eldest Young Master has been arrested by the police on suspicion of intentional homicide, have you seen the news?”
Lu Jiaxin humd and replied, “Big Brother Su told this morning. Aunt i, did He Hanguang used to hit people when he was a child?”
“No, the Eldest Young Master never hit or scolded the servants at ho. Also, he used to keep cats and dogs when he was young, but unfortunately, they died of illnesses. After that incident, he never kept pets again.”
She had never heard about this before; perhaps changes in his family had made him irritable, but this had nothing to do with her.
“Miss Cousin, the old lady misses you very much; she has been talking about you these past few days.”
Rembering she hadn’t visited last week, Lu Jiaxin said, “I was quite occupied the past few days. I’ll co by to see Aunt and Haifan this afternoon.”
Aunt i, delighted by this, asked, “Miss Cousin, why don’t you stay for dinner too then?”
“Sure.”
