Chapter 237 The turmoil continues
Bu Yufan briefly sent Wen Lan away, took out his cell phone and called back the number.
"Jo, where's Xingchen?"
The call just now was from Tai Ge’s younger brother, Jo, who was calling from the carnival night at Sunset Bar.
"Brother Bu, I used all my connections to suppress this matter until the end of the dance show. Just now, Xingchen was taken away by the police here."
Bu Yufan clenched his fists.
"Taken away in public?"
"No, it was done quietly. I gave them some money. Xingchen won't suffer too much in the next few days."
"Well done, Jo," he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Bu, why do you believe that he has never done such a thing?" A Jo has always wanted to ask Bu Yufan this question.
"His job is indeed related to sex. However, how could a man who is so filial, has a strong character, and insists on paying back the money one by one be interested in Xie Ning? Not to mention that he would take the opportunity to violate her!"
Bu Yufan believed in his own judgment of people. He sighed, walked to the bedroom window, and closed the curtains at home.
“Since this incident happened in a hotel, I’m worried whether it will have any impact on the reputation of IELTS?” A Jo’s voice sounded helpless.
"No matter what, save people first." Bu Yufan turned around and suddenly saw Wen Lan walking into the bedroom quietly.
He hooked his finger at her, and when she came closer, he hugged her in his arms. He said a few more words to Jo, and then hung up the phone.
"Honey, did I harm Xingchen?" She frowned, looking uneasy.
"Why do you say that? Hmm?" He patted her back tenderly. "Don't think that way. It was Xie Ning who hurt people. How could it be you?"
"Last night, when you were entertaining Xie Peng and leaving, Xie Ning found me. I gave her a lecture and I also poured butter beer on her brother, so she holds a grudge against me." Wen Lan felt more and more uneasy.
When she thought of Xingchen's situation, she felt even more uneasy.
"The Xie family brothers and sisters..." Bu Yufan recalled the past when Xie Peng investigated him. "Wen Lan, this matter may not be that simple. Xie Peng may have other reasons for being against me and Ya Si."
"We just left Southeast Asia last night, and this happened today. What about tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow? It's just business competition, everyone relies on their own abilities, why do we have to harm innocent people?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild, my wife," he consoled her. "I promise you, I will do my best to rescue Xingchen."
"What if he's found guilty?" She imagined the worst outcome.
"I asked my lawyer this afternoon. If convicted, I'll be sentenced to 4 to 20 years in prison." He was handling the matter on the high-speed train, and tried his best to hide it from Wen Lan. "Don't worry, I won't let this happen."
"Where are my noodles?" he changed the subject.
"Oh no, oh no, the pot is running dry, the water must have been boiling for a while!" She rushed downstairs.
"Slow down!" Bu Yufan chased after her.
"I won't panic. I want to help him!" Wen Lan was busy in the kitchen. "Xingchen is innocent, he must not go to jail. 4-20 years? What about his mother!"
In Southeast Asia, Xie Ning, as a victim of sexual assault, cooperated with the police investigation.
Xie Peng also rushed to the police station with his lawyer. Based on his understanding of Xie Ning, he absolutely did not believe that his sister would be taken advantage of by a male model in a fashion show.
"Xie Ning, what the hell are you doing?"
"Brother, I am the victim after all. How come you don't even care about me?"
"Were you really violated by that Xingchen? Xie Ning, you keep changing men around you, male celebrities, models, bars, and catwalks. How could you suffer such a loss? Tell me honestly, why did you do such a thing?"
Xie Ning smiled proudly. "Brother, why are you so angry? I'm killing two birds with one stone. If this gets out, the Yas Water House Resort will be finished. Don't you want those male models to perform in our Kegley? I can withdraw the lawsuit and say it's a misunderstanding. I guarantee that Xingchen will be like an obedient dog and be controlled by us."
"Xie Ning!" Xie Peng was furious. "You are so willful!"
"Humph!" Xie Ning didn't care. "That Wen Lan actually dared to look down on me? She said that letting a rich woman support Xingchen was a low-class move. I'll let her see for herself whether being supported by a rich woman is low-class or letting Xingchen, a straight man, be beaten by a man in front of everyone."
Xie Ning was very proud and showed no regrets.
"Enough!" Xie Peng was furious when he heard Wen Lan's name. "There is no impenetrable wall in this world!"
If Wen Lan knew the truth, wouldn't he be so lowly and humble as to be reduced to dust in her eyes?
While in Dailing, when Wen Lan had no idea what to do, she received a call from an unexpected person.
"Boss Wen, I'm Xu Lisha."
"Kurisa? Oh, the carnival night just ended tonight, right?" Wen Lan didn't say much.
"Boss Wen, there is something I should have reported to Allen Du. However, I decided to report to you."
"What's wrong? Don't worry, talk slowly." Wen Lan's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She put the phone on speaker and listened with Bu Yufan.
"Mr. Wen, I know Xingchen was taken away by the police here, but I don't know what happened. This afternoon, I saw Du Ailun taking a few people to the male model lounge. At that time, I happened to take the bouquets and gifts given to Xingchen by fans to the lounge."
Wen Lan was shocked!
"Kurisa, did those people see you?"
"No, I saw them go in from a distance."
"What are you going to report to me across the chain of command?" Wen Lan suddenly had a strong premonition that there might be a turning point in Xingchen's case.
"Boss Wen, Miss Wen, Wen Lan!" Xu Lisha's voice suddenly broke down. "I'm a little scared. When I went to clean up the lounge just now, the gifts were left there untouched."
"So? Did you find something?" Wen Lan asked quickly.
"Yes! There's a gift with money to spend, and there's a robot in it."
"Money Flower" is a bouquet made of banknotes.
"Robot? There's something wrong with that robot? Really?" Wen Lan guessed it was almost right.
"Is it a camera!?" Xu Lisha and Wen Lan said almost in unison.
"Xu Lisha, where are you now?" Bu Yufan tried to calm her down.
"Are you President Bu? President, I'm in my office. Ah!" Xu Lisha exclaimed, "President, Wen Lan, Du Ailun called me. Did he know?"
