She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 106 - Investigation

Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Investigation

The two adults in the hospital room both looked up.

Two people dressed in police uniforms walked in, and one of them pulled out a badge, saying to Shen Heyu, “We are from the city’s Public Security Bureau. We’ve received an accusation from Mr. Chen that you attacked him today in the restaurant. You caused him serious injury, and the hospital’s medical report is already out. Please come with us for an investigation.”

They saw Pei Yansi and just politely nodded in greeting.

Unaware of Shen Heyu’s relationship to him.

Shen Heyu frowned and said, “He was the one who made improper advances towards me first.”

“The details of what actually happened, please come with us to the station for an investigation, and you will know.”

Yuexue heard the voices but didn’t quite understand what they meant and worriedly asked, “Mommy? What’s happened?”

Pei Yansi, hearing his daughter’s concerned voice, extended a hand to pat her shoulder to soothe her, then said, “Take away? How will you investigate?”

He asked the uniformed officer with a smile, though his eyes lacked any warmth, and before the person could speak, he then asked, “Which Mr. Chen?”

“Chen Bo, Mr. Chen.”

Pei Yansi sneered lightly and said indifferently, “So, it’s him.” Still harboring ill intentions, it seems.

He first set down the bowl and chopsticks he had been using to feed his daughter before stepping up to the two of them, saying, “I’m her husband. Let’s leave this investigation for another day.”

The person frowned, “Sorry, Mr. Pei, Mr. Chen has already filed a lawsuit. We must proceed with the investigation.”

As he spoke, his eyes betrayed dissatisfaction towards him.

Just a businessman, what does he mean by saying this?

Pei Yansi, seeing the man not taking a hint, suddenly adopted a colder tone, while the smile on his face deepened, “Is that so? How would you like to conduct the investigation? Taking her away, for how long?”

“That is not for Mr. Pei to know.”

Pei Yansi said nothing, but the look he gave the man turned grim.

The man was watched by his pitch-black eyes, and somehow, a sense of fear arose within him.

As if someone was scrutinizing him too intently.

In his line of work, he had seen plenty of ruthlessly wicked people, but he had never encountered such a gaze. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Finally, the other person said with a smile, “Mr. Pei, rest assured, we are simply following the necessary procedures. It won’t take long, and we will definitely return her to you unscathed.”

Pei Yansi looked at this person.

One had to admit, this person was much more tactful.

Shen Heyu, confident in her innocence, wasn’t afraid and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Pei Yansi sneered as he watched the two take her away.

After they had left, he then called Zhao Jin and Aunt Ning to come and stay with his daughter.

Yuexue, hearing his words and realizing her mother had left and he was about to leave as well, felt scared to be alone in the hospital and asked, “Daddy, what’s happened?”

Pei Yansi gently stroked her little head and said, “Aunt Ning will come to keep you company, Daddy will be back soon.”

Yuexue obediently nodded, her small hand tugging at his clothes by feel.

“Waiting for Daddy to come back.”

Pei Yansi, seeing his daughter so dependent on him, felt an extreme sense of satisfaction in his heart, an indescribable feeling, as if there was blood of his own in this world, his own family.

He revealed a rarely seen tender smile.

Unfortunately, Yuexue couldn’t see it.

Before long, Zhao Jin and Aunt Ning both arrived, and only then did he leave to find Shen Heyu.

After Shen Heyu was taken away, she was brought into the station.

The person who had been aggressively confronting her said, “Miss Shen, please follow us into the interrogation room.”

Shen Heyu frowned, somewhat unwillingly, “Does this kind of thing really require going to the interrogation room?”

The person said, “Severe injury, there’s a possibility it could cause disability, please cooperate a bit.”

This time, the person’s voice had become much more serious and cold.

Shen Heyu didn’t say anything further and followed them into the interrogation room.

Following the so-called procedure, her wrists were even handcuffed, the handcuffs were rusty, and a little tight. Her skin was delicate, and just this abrasion had already made them somewhat red and painful.

The person, following the routine, asked her a few questions about basic information, then said, “Why did you hit Chen Bo?”

Shen Heyu said, “He acted inappropriately towards me first.”

“How did he act inappropriately?”

“What do you think a man would do to a woman?”

The person said, “Do you have any evidence?”

“Logically speaking, shouldn’t it be your job to collect evidence? The way you put it, you say I hit Chen Bo, so where’s your evidence?”

The person frowned, not expecting her to be so good at arguing. Annoyed, he slammed the table and said, “Answer properly.”

“Have I not answered properly?” Shen Heyu said calmly.

What she said was indeed the truth. According to standard practice, that’s how it should be.

The person wanted to say something else when suddenly someone pushed open the door to the interrogation room. A junior police officer poked his head in and said, “Brother Li, Mr. Pei is here. He’s looking for Miss Shen, asked where she was. When he heard she was here, he said you should go see him.”

“He doesn’t look very happy.”

The one called Brother Li frowned, clearly displeased, “He’s just a businessman, what does it matter if he’s not happy?”

He had barely finished speaking when Pei Yansi’s cold voice came from outside, “Is that so? What a big talker. I really want to ask you, what evidence did you find that allows you to detain people so arbitrarily?”

Brother Li stood up and went out to meet Pei Yansi.

Pei Yansi was standing at the doorway, but in accordance with protocol, he didn’t come in.

Standing at the door was enough for him to clearly see the situation inside.

When he saw the handcuffs on Shen Heyu and how they had chafed her wrists red, his brows furrowed, and his face fell into a gloom, “You really know how to… handle things.”

Brother Li didn’t like his attitude; what could a man reeking of money do?

He said, “Mr. Pei, what can I do for you?”

“Release her,” he said coolly.

“That’s not possible, Mr. Chen is severely—”

“Don’t talk to me about severity. If you want, I could also get her a disability certificate.”

Brother Li pursed his lips.

He was about to say something more when another junior officer hurried over and said, “Brother Li, Mr. Chen has retracted the charges, he’s changed his story, says it’s not related to Miss Shen.”

Brother Li said, “So fast? Are they playing with us?”

“His assistant came personally to say that he accidentally hit himself on the washbasin in the restroom, it had nothing to do with Miss Shen. He only saw her standing behind him and subconsciously thought she was the one who hit him.”

With such a quick change of story and retraction of charges, of course, Brother Li could guess there was something fishy going on. But there was no way around it; since Chen Bo had said so, he had no reason to keep Shen Heyu.

So, he had no choice but to release her.

And personally escorted her out.

Shen Heyu’s hand was pulled by Pei Yansi as he looked at the red marks on her wrist, a clear flash of anger in his heart.

After escorting her to the car, he turned back to look at Brother Li and said with a smiling face, “You really know how to handle things, you should be rewarded.”

That smile, so tender it was eerie.
