Not to mention the name Xi Weihuan, just the West Wind Law Firm alone was enough to shock people.
The policewoman knew that Ying Zijin had asked a lawyer to come, but she didn't expect it to be the West Wind Law Firm.
The West Wind Law Firm was not something that could be hired with money, especially in Shanghai, which was thousands of kilometers away from the capital.
The policewoman took the business card and said politely, "Please take a seat."
"You're welcome. It's very simple. Just a few words. There's no need to sit." Xi Weihuan smiled. "Miss Ying should have come by herself, but she didn't want to see some people, so she asked me to come."
"It's the same." The policewoman nodded. "You're the client's lawyer, so you can negotiate."
"Lawyer?" Zhong Manhua finally reacted. She couldn't believe it. "Whose lawyer did you say you were?"
Why did he need to hire a lawyer for such a small matter?
She just wanted the police to help call Ying Zijin back. How did it involve a lawyer?
Zhong Manhua's heart suddenly jumped, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Mrs. Ying, right? I'm Miss Ying Zijin's lawyer." Xi Weihuan seemed to have just noticed Zhong Manhua. He stopped smiling and looked very cold. "I'm here to deal with you for slandering Miss Ying Zijin."
"I slandered her?" Zhong Manhua almost laughed. "Well, tell me, how did I slander her? If I slandered her, why didn't she come by herself? "
Xi Weihuan didn't answer. Instead, he took out several documents and placed them on the table one by one.
The first document was about the missing pink diamond.
"This pink diamond was an item at an auction in Continent O. In the end, Mr. Ying Tianlu bought it at a high price of eight million yuan and gave it to Miss Ying Yuexuan." Xi Weihuan said, "If the crime of theft is established, the thief will be sentenced to five to ten years in prison."
Zhong Manhua interrupted him unhappily, "When did I say I was going to be sentenced?"
She just wanted to ask Ying Zijin to go home. She didn't really want to send Ying Zijin in.
Once they arrived, he would bring them back to Family Ying. The rest of the matters would be dealt with privately.
The second document was about the crime of theft. The amount of money involved was different, so was the punishment.
The greater the sum, the greater the crime.
"Mrs. Ying doesn't have any evidence, so she directly said that Miss Ying did it. She committed the crime of slander." Xi Weihuan pointed at the third document and said coldly, "According to the law, those who commit any of the following acts will be detained for up to five days."
"If the circumstances are serious, the offender shall be detained for a period of not less than five days but not more than ten days and be fined 500 yuan."
He pointed to one of them, which read:
Fabricating facts to falsely accuse and frame others in an attempt to subject others to criminal investigation or public security punishment.
Zhong Manhua was shocked and angry. She was so angry that she laughed. "So, you have evidence that she didn't do it?"
"Mrs. Ying, I have to remind you that you are the plaintiff. You are the one who needs to show evidence." Xi Weihuan said calmly, "If you can't show evidence, the crime of slander will be established."
He turned his head and pointed to the statement on the table. "This is the evidence of your crime of slander."
The policewoman also nodded. "Mrs. Ying, I asked you again and again. You said you were sure."
"I didn't mean that at all!" Zhong Manhua didn't know about this. She was flustered and her face flushed. "I just want her to go home!"
The policewoman's expression also turned cold. "In other words, you don't have any evidence at all."
"I …" Zhong Manhua opened her mouth. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang.
Her embarrassment dissipated a little, and she picked up the phone.
"Mom, where are you?" It was Ying Yuexuan on the other end of the phone. "The pink diamond has been found. The servant was afraid that it would be damaged when she was cleaning, so she put it outside. In the end, it fell into the gap of the bookcase.
"I told you that my sister didn't do it. You didn't really go to the police station, did you?"
Zhong Manhua's body turned cold, and her face turned pale in an instant.
"Mom? Mom? "
Ying Yuexuan was still calling her over the phone, but Zhong Manhua couldn't hear anything. Her ears were ringing.
"It seems that the thing has been found." Xi Weihuan nodded. "Then we can be sure that Mrs. Ying has indeed committed the crime of slander."
He turned his head and said to the policewoman, "The amount involved is too large. I'm afraid that ten days of detention won't be enough."
At this moment, the policewoman's impression of Zhong Manhua fell to the bottom.
She understood that Zhong Manhua said that the thief was her second daughter.
If she was really convicted of theft, wouldn't she be sending her daughter to prison?
"Call Zijin." Zhong Manhua finally panicked. "I really just wanted her to go home. I didn't want this to happen."
If she was really detained and fined, where would she put her face?
What would the other rich ladies think of her?
"I'm sorry, Miss Ying doesn't want to see you, so she asked me to come." Xi Weihuan smiled politely. "Also, I want to remind Mrs. Ying that Miss Ying's household registration has been removed from the Family Ying. The adoption has also been canceled."
"From a legal point of view, you are not her mother."
"From a moral point of view, you don't deserve to be her mother."
These three sentences were like one slap after another, mercilessly slapping Zhong Manhua in the face.
She froze on the spot. An unprecedented shame and anger surged up and almost drowned her.
"Of course, we still have to go through the process." Xi Weihuan smiled again. "Mrs. Ying, please prepare a lawyer. I'll see you in court. But it's useless even if you prepare a lawyer, and tonight —"
He said in a regretful tone, "It seems that you're going to spend the night here."

After Xi Weihuan left the police station, he picked up his phone and made a call. "Hello, Miss Ying. Everything has been settled."
"Thank you for your hard work." The girl's voice was cold and slow. "The fee will be transferred later."
"Miss Ying, you're too polite." Xi Weihuan shook his head. "You're also my savior. Of course, I'll do such a small thing for you."
He had taken on the case of the online violence last time because the lawyer had given him a task.
But after that, he was willing to do everything.
His mother had a severe migraine, and she didn't get better after going to several hospitals.
It was Ying Zijin who gave him a prescription that cured his mother's illness.
"That's that." Ying Zijin yawned and looked tired. "Anyway, thank you."
She hung up the phone and looked back at the TV.
It was eight o 'clock, just the time for the melodramatic drama.
Wen Tinglan was working on a logic question and occasionally looked up at the computer.
He either saw the concubines quarreling or the female lead wanting to jump into the river to hang herself.
However, his elder sister seemed to be very interested in it.
"…"
Wen Tinglan looked at the question he had to do expressionlessly.
He felt that he was being squeezed dry.
After writing another logic question, Wen Tinglan looked up. "Sister."
"Yes?"
"Is it really that good?"
"It's okay." Ying Zijin rested her chin on her hand and muttered, "The plot is a little dull. I can guess the ending from the beginning to the end. It's just to pass the time."
Wen Tinglan silently swallowed the words "I think it's already very melodramatic" and continued to write the questions.
Ying Zijin looked at the female lead in the drama thoughtfully and remembered that she had an entertainment company.
Thinking of this, she picked up her cell phone and sent a WeChat message to her female secretary.
[Recently, the company has sent a copy of the film and television scripts.]

Ying Yuexuan didn't have time to tell Ying Zhenting and Ying Tianlu when she found out that Zhong Manhua was detained at the police station. She immediately ran over.
Ying Yuexuan was confused when she saw her. "Mom, why are you detained?"
Zhong Manhua pursed her lips. Her face was still hot and she didn't know what to say.
She really didn't expect things to turn out this way.
Zhong Manhua forced a smile. "Your sister didn't come. She sent her lawyer and said that I committed a crime of slander. That's why I'm being detained. Call your father and brother."
"Slander?" Ying Yuexuan thought for a moment and understood. "Mom, how can you slander my sister?"
Zhong Manhua didn't look too good. "I didn't think about it. I just wanted her to go home. What's wrong with her being outside every day?"
She couldn't see and didn't know who Ying Zijin was hanging out with all day.
What if something happened?
Who would clean up the mess?
Did she really think that she could get away with it by cutting ties?
When the time came, people would come looking for Family Ying.
"Mom, you really went overboard." Ying Yuexuan took a deep breath and said, "I didn't agree to post that Weibo in the first place. You told Dad that if I didn't post it, Family Ying's business would be affected. That's why I posted it."
"But you didn't think that the person who was really abandoned by Auntie was your sister."
"There's no difference." At the mention of Ying Zijin, Zhong Manhua's expression became even colder. "Have you ever seen a daughter who wants to send her mother to the detention center?"
She pressed her head. "Your father is too busy. You should call your brother first."
