Chapter 102 The Person Who Saves the Day
"Officer Li, do you need to be so impulsive? I haven't done anything."
"You haven't done anything? You've shattered someone's arm! Just wait, today I'm going to take down the hotel's sign!" Li Qinqin angrily said.
"Officer Li, you must stand up for my husband, it was him who crushed my husband's hand!" Seeing Xia Liu's indifferent face, Wu Lili cried sorrowfully while pulling on Li Qinqin.
"Don't be so agitated first, as long as the evidence is solid, I will give you a satisfying explanation." Li Qinqin glared at Xia Liu, her heart filled with extreme fury, this guy even bullies pregnant women, he's simply inhuman.
"Captain Li, the questioning is over, the testimony from the service staff is all here." Just at this moment, an officer handed a few documents to Li Qinqin.
Li Qinqin roughly scanned through a few pages, and her eyebrows gradually knitted together.
The statements from the hotel staff were all very similar, saying that Wu Lili and Zhang Kuang had entered the hotel and started insulting Zhang Qing, and they were very vicious.
As for why they fought, it was because Zhang Kuang wanted to hit Zhang Qing, and Xia Liu appeared in time.
And about the part where the fight started, everyone was unanimous; they all said Xia Liu only grabbed Zhang Kuang's arm.
And then there was nothing after that.
"Captain Li, this testimony should be true. We rushed over at the first opportunity, they didn't have time to fabricate anything," the officer whispered beside Li Qinqin.
Li Qinqin became even more troubled, everyone said that Xia Liu only grabbed Zhang Kuang's wrist.
Just that alone definitely wasn't enough to convict him of intentional injury.
Now, the only evidence was to wait for the surveillance to be retrieved, Li Qinqin also didn't believe that just grabbing a wrist could shatter the bones of the entire arm.
"Captain Li, the surveillance footage is ready!" Just as Li Qinqin was anxious, the officer operating the computer called out.
"Tsk tsk, Xia Liu, you just wait!" Dropping a sentence, Li Qinqin quickly ran to the computer.
"Chairman, we won't have a problem, right?" Ye Ming was very anxious, after all, Li Qinqin was being too serious.
"Manager Ye, rest assured, we won't have any problem at all," Xia Liu said confidently.
Even if Li Qinqin watched the surveillance footage, so what? He only grabbed Zhang Kuang's wrist.
Indeed, after Li Qinqin watched the footage, she was unable to utter a word.
The situation at the scene was just like the testimonies, with Zhang Kuang initiating the violence, and Xia Liu only grabbing his wrist to prevent him from hitting Zhang Qing.
"Xia Liu, I am arresting you now for the crime of intentional injury." However, Li Qinqin didn't want to let the matter rest so easily; she wanted Xia Liu to pay the price. If it weren't for him buying the hotel, Sister Fangfei wouldn't have returned so soon.
"Officer, this isn't proper. The chairman was merely defending himself. If it's really intentional injury, that man should be the one you are after!" Ye Ming was not willing to give in, voicing his disagreement excitedly.
"Exactly, that man is the criminal. He wanted to hit our manager, and the chairman was just defending him!"
"It's unfair, why take the chairman away!"

The service staff at the scene all spoke out, clearly, it was Zhang Kuang who started it, how could they take Xia Liu away?
"Officer Li, you've seen the surveillance, you've got the testimonies, I just want to ask, what's wrong with me protecting hotel staff?" Xia Liu said, his eyebrows sharp, revealing an extremely serious demeanor.
"What do you mean, nothing! If it wasn't for you, how could Sister Fangfei have returned so quickly? It's all because of you!" Li Qinqin clenched her teeth tightly, her voice of grief and indignation reverberating throughout the entire hall.
All those present were shocked, except for the hotel staff, no one else recognized Fang Fei.
Wu Lili was even more confused, unable to grasp what was happening, but one thing was certain—Li Qinqin had grievances against Xia Liu!
"Officer, he is a bad man. My father was fired from his company because of him, and my cousin too. Please help my family get justice!"
"You're pregnant; try not to get too emotional. I know all about the situation. Go to the hospital and see your husband." Li Qianqian really wanted to get angry with Wu Lili. The surveillance footage and testimonies were clear, and she knew what kind of person Wu Lili was.
But she couldn't lose her temper with a pregnant woman—today's target for retribution was Xia Liu!
Wu Lili lowered her head and stood there in silence, thinking about how her family had suffered because of Xia Liu, vowing revenge against him at all costs! Continue reading at empire
However, a person who completely dashed Wu Lili's hopes appeared.
At the hotel's main entrance, several people rushed in hastily.
"Qianqian, what are you doing! Are you trying to infuriate me to death?" Before the person arrived, his sharp voice already pierced the surroundings.
When everyone turned to look, it was Li Zhong!
"Dad! Why are you here?" Li Qianqian felt somewhat guilty. Her father had been lecturing her these past few days, and it wasn't Xia Liu's fault that Fang Fei had left.
"If I didn't come, you'd already be causing havoc!" Li Zhong was very angry. He might tolerate his daughter's obstinacy in other matters,
but he could not endure her unreasonable behavior regarding Xia Liu.
"Brother Liu, it's my fault. I should have kept a closer eye on this girl." After making Li Qianqian bow her head in admonition, Li Zhong approached Xia Liu with an embarrassed expression.
This address as "Brother Liu" stunned everyone present.
Especially the hotel staff, who at this moment realized that this young chairman was on brotherly terms with Li Zhong.
Before coming to Hejing County, Wu Lili heard about it from Zhang Kuang, so she knew Li Zhong's identity.
When Li Zhong spoke with Xia Liu, she realized that she had lost this battle and had paid far too much as a consequence.
"Officer Li, what are you saying? Qianqian is also upset about Sister Fang's departure, and I can understand that," Xia Liu replied with a calm smile, inwardly musing, "Am I not reluctant too...
"Hehe, I'm glad you can understand Qianqian. Let's do this—today, I'll be the host and we'll have a sit-down."
"How could I? This is my territory, Officer Li. If you wish to be the host, I'll come to your home some other time to sit down. Then you'll be the host."
"Hahaha... Then I won't be polite." Li Zhong was all smiles. Before he arrived, he thought Xia Liu would be angry, but it seemed he had worried needlessly.
"Qianqian, hurry up and deal with this matter, I'll have more to say to you when you get back."
"Oh..."
"Manager Ye, cooperate with Officer Li, and by the way, go to the hospital and take care of Zhang Kuang's medical bills. Even if he came here to stage an accident [seek compensation], we'll swallow this outcome."
Li Zhong and Xia Liu both gave directions, and then a group of people took the elevator up to a private room on the upper floor.
As Xia Liu and her father laughed and walked away, Li Qianqian bit her lip, gestured for everyone to leave, and took the dazed Wu Lili with her.
Ye Ming also cooperated with Li Qianqian to handle back the situation, leaving behind a bunch of onlookers in the hotel lobby, along with the astonished staff.
In the hotel's private room, Xia Liu asked Li Zhong, who was slightly intoxicated, "Officer Li, is there a problem with Sister Fang's family? Why did she leave in such a hurry?"
