Chapter 197: Luo Tao’s Heart Ached

“Mo Yan.” Luo Tao called out to the girl who was hugging her knees and curled up in the corner of the detention center.

Hearing the familiar voice, Mo Yan slowly raised her head. The moment she saw Luo Tao, she thought she was hallucinating.

Actually, Mo Yan had only stayed in the detention center for one night. The environment of the detention center was not that bad. The reason why Mo Yan looked so haggard was not because of external conditions, but because of the uneasiness in her heart. She was afraid. She did not know what other methods Chen Ya would think of to frame her, and she also did not know how much evidence Chen Ya would create.

The lock on the door was opened, and Luo Tao walked over to pick her up. It was not until she touched Luo Tao’s body and felt his temperature that Mo Yan’s tensed nerves relaxed. She could no longer control her tears and buried her head deep into Luo Tao’s chest, trembling and crying silently.

Seeing Mo Yan like this, Luo Tao felt an intense pain in his heart, causing him to hug Mo Yan’s arm even tighter.

The bail procedures had been completed. Luo Tao carried Mo Yan and strode out of the police station, attracting many inquisitive gazes along the way.

When they returned, Qin Yuan was driving. The lawyer was sitting in the pa.s.senger seat, while Mo Yan was crying in Luo Tao’s arms. It was not that Mo Yan was a cry baby, but this incident did scare her. From the few words of the police officer, Mo Yan could tell how much preparation Chen Ya had done to frame her. Chen Ya really wanted to get rid of her.

“It’s okay, I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”

Luo Tao held Mo Yan in his arms and did not let go. He gently patted her back to comfort her.

Listening to her intermittent crying, Luo Tao’s heart could not help but throb. He really wanted to tell her his ident.i.ty now and keep her with him at all times, but he could not.

No one spoke in the car. Gradually, Mo Yan cried until she was tired and fell asleep.

Luo Tao did not bring Mo Yan home directly. Instead, he went to the hotel of the Qin family. After the private doctor saw that nothing was wrong with her, Luo Tao was relieved.

In the living room, Qin Yuan was listening to the lawyer talk about Mo Yan’s case.

“How do we solve it?” Luo Tao sat on the sofa and asked.

Qin Yuan looked at him and pushed a gla.s.s of red wine in front of Luo Tao. He hesitated and said, “It’s best to solve it privately.”

“Settle it privately?” Luo Tao narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Yuan.

Swallowing his saliva, Qin Yuan continued, “Yes, let the company decide on its own. The loss will be borne by sister-in-law.”

Luo Tao did not say anything. His pair of ice-cold eyes stared quietly at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan pushed the wine in front of Luo Tao and smiled apologetically, “This is not what I think, it’s just what the lawyer said.”

Seeing that Qin Yuan was blaming him, the lawyer who was sitting next to Qin Yuan and wearing black-rimmed gla.s.ses glared at him fiercely, he put in 120% of his energy and explained, “This case could have been resolved internally, and it wouldn’t have caused too much of an impact. However, someone had an ulterior motive and skipped this step.”

“Yes.”

“Once the trial starts, no matter what the final outcome is, it will affect Miss Mo’s reputation.”

This was what Qin Yuan had told him when he was talking to Qin Yuan alone. The most important outcome of this case was to minimize Mo Yan’s losses.

Thus, the lawyer continued, “Based on the evidence and the investigation results, the trial is disadvantageous to Miss Mo. If what young master Qin said is true, Miss Mo was framed by someone, then it will take time to gather evidence and investigate. After finding clues, it will take time to build a case. When the truth is revealed, no one will pay attention to the results, because during this time, everyone will believe that Miss Mo leaked the company’s plans, which will cause great damage to Miss Mo’s reputation.”

After the lawyer finished speaking, Qin Yuan nodded his head vigorously. Then, he was glared at by the lawyer again.

“Fourth brother, take this as a loss. Tell sister-in-law to pay more attention in the future. I will help sister-in-law pay whatever Hong Jing wants.”

Luo Tao’s gaze fell on the red wine. After a moment of silence, he said, “Is this the best result?”

Qin Yuan and the lawyer did not reply. They had already finished what they wanted to say.

“If going through the legal process can only do so much, please!” Luo Tao chuckled. Hearing this, the two of them felt a chill down their spines.

As Luo Tao’s best friend, when Qin Yuan saw Luo Tao like this, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart. He hurriedly said, “Fourth brother, what are you going to do this time? Jing City is still in a mess! Don’t cause any more trouble.”

Luo Tao raised his head to look at him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Not me. You. You will be the one who causes trouble.”

“What?” Qin Yuan’s eyes were as wide as copper bells.
