Chapter 142 - Untitled

Hearing the girl’s fearful voice, Quan Jue couldn’t help but reach out to hold her little hand. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

These simple words seemed to pacify Chi Jiao’s emotions, and she finally looked less panicky than before.

Chi Yan’s eyes widened when she saw her acting like the victim.

Did this b*tch not know who were the ones who truly suffered today?!

“Officer, don’t listen to her. It is Quan Jue who hit someone for no reason,” Chi Yan said loudly.

Chi Jiao didn’t even look at her as she looked at Huo Chen with her eyes that resembled black glass beads. “Big Brother, I have a recording. That woman and that man wanted to snatch my phone away. They even threatened my life. Brother Quan only attacked that man to protect me.”

Chi Yan was furious when she heard Chi Jiao calling her “that girl”.

She was clearly that little b*tch’s older sister!

“Be quiet, the two of you. I haven’t gotten to you yet,” Huo Chen said indifferently. He looked at Quan Jue with a hooked gaze. “Tell me, why did you get into a conflict with the victim?”

There were traces of blood on the young man’s white jacket, his exquisite and beautiful face was expressionless. The calmness in his eyes wasn’t something someone his age would have.

It wasn’t the first time Huo Chen had interacted with Quan Jue. Previously, some gangsters always tried to find trouble with this young man, but he didn’t suffer any losses every time. It was considered self-defense.

He had always felt that this young man had extraordinary viciousness in his bones, and he was especially unwilling to admit defeat.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I will remain quiet until my lawyer is here,” Quan Jue said faintly.

Chi Yan looked like she had heard a joke as she looked at him mockingly. “The Chi family doesn’t have a lawyer for you.”

She didn’t believe that this extremely poor illegitimate son could have the money to hire a lawyer.

Chi Jiao glanced at him. Seeing that he was indifferent and not worried at all, the corners of her lips curled up.

It seemed like her worries were unnecessary.

Probably to slap Chi Yan’s face, a tall and thin man in a brown trench coat and a tall, beautiful woman in a business suit came looking for Huo Chen five minutes later.

“Hello, I’m Quan Jue’s lawyer. This is my name card.” Ouyang Xi had a professional smile on her face as she strode over to Huo Chen and showed him her lawyer identification.

Huo Chen didn’t look at the identification but recognized the person in front of him. “Isn’t this Lawyer Ouyang?”

Ouyang Xi nodded lightly. “Do you still remember me, Captain Huo?”

She had met Huo Chen once before, but she didn’t expect him to still remember her after so long.

“Of course.” Huo Chen curled his lips. A woman like Ouyang Xi was unforgettable with just one look. Moreover, he had the habit of remembering other people’s looks. This was helpful when he was solving cases.

Chi Yan didn’t expect a lawyer to really come. She was stunned on the spot.

Lawyer Ouyang?

Could she be the most outstanding female lawyer in Country Hua, Ouyang Xi?!

Quan Jue, that poor bastard, was able to hire her?!

The moment Chi Jiao saw Ouyang Xi, her heart was completely at ease.

Ouyang Xi was the most outstanding female lawyer in Country Hua. The Quan family must have intervened and invited her.

Quan Jue should be fine.

Her gaze then landed on the man in a brown trench coat walking over.
