His wife's pregnancy bump disappeared, and Mr. Huo was going crazy missing her.

At this point, she looked at Huo Yanbei with a calm yet sharp gaze, "Although it's just a video of a report, once it's released, it will inevitably spark public discussion. The police might not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion and will have to intervene in the investigation again. Even if they can't find anything about Song Chen, this incident will inevitably affect the reputation of the Huo family, given the relationship between the Huo and Song families."

The man parted his thin lips slightly: "Do you dare to announce it?"

Qiao Mian took a deep breath: "If you don't give me a way out, what else wouldn't I dare to do? At worst, we'll fight to the death."

Huo Yanbei stared at her silently for a long time.

After confronting him for a few seconds, Qiao Mian couldn't withstand his aura. She lowered her eyelashes and said in a calmer tone, "President Huo, from beginning to end, I never intended to confront you. On the contrary, it was you who kept pressing me, which led to the situation developing to this point."

After saying that, she looked at Gu Huainian and asked, "Attorney Gu, is there anything you'd like to say?"

Gu Huai Nian's handsome face darkened even more.

What can he say now?

This woman had a firm grip on the matter.

I never expected Qiao Mian to be so cunning; she actually managed to turn the tables on me.

It certainly lives up to its name, "Hanging Sword".

Courageous, and ruthless enough.

For him, a lawyer, today was the most humiliating and embarrassing moment.

He had never been so defeated.

On the other hand, Huo Yanbei's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and he gave a barely perceptible smile. "Qiao Mian, you win."

Having said that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

As he passed Qiao Mian, he leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear, "We'll settle this score after we get to work."

Qiao Mian's back suddenly straightened, and even her scalp tingled.

After Gu Huainian left, Qiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief when she was all alone in the huge mediation room.

He wiped away the thin layer of sweat that had seeped from his temples.

Like a soldier who has just survived a battle, exhausted.

After she sat there blankly for a while, the police came in. "Ms. Qiao, since mediation failed, please fill out this form and you can leave."

After Qiao Mian finished filling out the form, she asked, "So, will they immediately detain and summon Jiang Yun?"

The police officer replied, "Yes."

After receiving a positive answer, Qiao Mian felt relieved.

She stated her demands: "Officer, I demand that she issue a public apology on a public platform, and compensate me for all the expenses incurred for my daughter's hospital examination, as well as compensation for emotional distress."

Police officer: "Compensation shouldn't be a problem. As for an apology, if the other party insists on refusing, there's nothing the police can do."

Qiao Mian nodded, indicating her understanding.

Actually, she didn't expect someone as arrogant as Jiang Yun to lower herself to apologize, but she had to make her stance firm on this matter.

Tell everyone that she's not someone to be trifled with.

It was noon when I left the police station.

She called Ruan Wei and asked her to bring the children out and go to the mall where the incident happened yesterday.

Yesterday we were supposed to take the kids to a buffet, but this incident happened and we missed it. Today we won the battle and made up for it for the kids.

She arrived at the fifth floor of the mall first and waited in the rest area for more than 20 minutes before Ruan Wei arrived with the children.

Enter the buffet restaurant and sit down.

The children happily went to get their meals.

Ruan Wei couldn't help but ask excitedly, "You seem so happy, has there been any progress in the case?"

Qiao Mian told her what had happened at the police station.

"Jiang Yun will be detained immediately, for a period of seven days to more than ten days. We should see the police report by tomorrow or the day after at the latest."

Ruan Wei was so excited she almost jumped up. "That was so satisfying! It's just a shame I couldn't slap that damn woman myself."

Qiao Mian chuckled and poked her head. "If you fight back, it turns into a brawl, and then the other side gets a handle on you, which will lead to a completely different outcome."

"No matter what, Mianmian, you're amazing. You made Huo Yanbei suffer today. I thought we would have to suffer in silence if he interfered."

After saying that, Ruan Wei pulled her up, "Let's have a good meal today and go get our food together."

"You go first, I'll send a WeChat message."

"it is good."

When Qiao Mian was the only one left in the booth, she took out her phone and deleted the video of Lin Shuang's public accusation against Song Chen.

Finally, I sent a WeChat message to Lin Shuang.

[Lin Shuang, thank you for helping me this time. I've deleted the video.]

Lin Shuang quickly replied, "Attorney Qiao, I'm very grateful to you for your hard work in helping me with my case and for securing compensation for me. I'm happy to have been able to help you. Whether the video is deleted or not is irrelevant; even if it's released, I have the courage to stand up and testify."

Upon seeing this WeChat message, Qiao Mian smiled with satisfaction.

Last night, when I asked Lin Shuang to help me record this video to report the incident, I never intended to release it.

She was only trying to intimidate Huo Yanbei.

She knows Huo Yanbei very well.

If she really puts the video of the report online, not to mention what Huo Yanbei will do to her, it will inevitably implicate Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang had just started a new life, and she didn't want to involve Lin Shuang in it.

Moreover, she always felt that Huo Yanbei hadn't used his full strength against her today.

In the past, how could Huo Yanbei, who was arrogant and looked down on everything, have easily admitted defeat?

No, the word "admit defeat" doesn't exist in his dictionary.

She couldn't help but recall what Huo Yanbei had said in her ear before he left: "Qiao Mian, after we start working, I'll settle this score with you slowly."

Qiao Mian shivered.

This time, I wonder how he'll get his revenge on her.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

However, she's too lazy to worry about things that aren't going to happen.

Seeing the children happily eating their food back at their seats, she got up to get her own meal.

After finishing the buffet, Ruan Wei had to leave first.

Qiao Mian spent half a day shopping in the underground supermarket of the mall with the children, buying a big bag of food and drinks, and finally took the subway home.

It was already 7 p.m. when I got back to my rented room.

After taking her daughter's medicine and applying ointment to her face, she returned to her bedroom, sat down at her computer desk, and began organizing her resume.

She hadn't forgotten that tomorrow, Monday, was her interview at the "Tongchen" law firm.

After finishing my work, I sent Zhou Jinnan a WeChat message: "Director Zhou, I have some urgent business to attend to tomorrow. Could I please take half a day off?"

Zhou Jinan quickly replied, "Okay."

……

A high-end club.

Inside the VIP box.

Gu Huai Nian slumped on the sofa, downing glass after glass of wine, feeling extremely depressed.

Xiao Shi snatched the wine glass from his hand. "Who upset you?"

Gu Huainian glanced at Huo Yanbei beside him, who remained calm and smoked without any emotional disturbance, and became even more depressed: "It's embarrassing to say, but Yanbei and I were knocked out by that woman Qiao Mian in a one-on-two battle today."
