Chapter 470

"Shao Ting...thank you."

Her furry head was tucked tightly against his neck, her voice tinged with sobs.

Seeing that she was barefoot, Huo Shao Ting picked her up in his arms and kissed her cheek lightly with his slightly cold, thin lips.

"I know that if I gave you time, you could have handled it yourself."

"But I couldn\'t stand to see her bully you for so long."

Especially since she had teamed up with Yang Yue, making his wife suffer for such a long time!

How could he possibly tolerate that?

Rong Dai clung to him, her arms wrapped tightly around him, speaking firmly: "With you by my side from now on, I won\'t let anyone bully me again."

Other than some petty things she couldn\'t foresee happening, she had indeed been bullied miserably during this time.

"That\'s good then," Huo Shao Ting said softly, carrying her upstairs into the bathroom.

...

The next day, Rong Dai awoke sore all over. Huo Shao Ting had already gotten up early to go to the gym.

She took out her phone to check the news headlines on Weibo.

The hot searches about Shi Ning still hadn\'t died down. Shi Ning had been taken to the police station because of Yin Zhongjun\'s case.

Although Yin Zhongjun was shameless and vulgar, when he first arrived at the detention center, he still resisted and struggled at first. After all, Lu Zheng had truly loved him once.

As long as he stubbornly insisted that Lu Zheng had been willing, the charges of assaulting Lu Zheng wouldn\'t stand.

But he couldn\'t withstand it later on and confessed everything.

The financial backer who had hired him was very cunning, using accounts that had been laundered through overseas routes. Trying to trace those would be very difficult.

But what kind of person was Huo Shao Ting?

The investigation did take some time, but in the end he still managed to trace the source.

Shi Ning was smart, but she was outsmarted by her own cleverness. All the evidence had been thoroughly investigated and collected through Huo Shao Ting\'s covert efforts.

With the evidence stacked against her, she had no room left to quibble. But Shi Ning remained unruffled and calm, nonchalantly pushing all the blame onto her assistant.

"Think carefully. These conditions are already very generous. How much longer can you live anyway?"

Shi Ning\'s assistant had not slept all night. When she opened her door in the morning, she saw Shi Yue standing there with several men.

There were now stacks of very thick contracts sitting on the table. Shi Yue\'s hair had turned much whiter overnight, seemingly aging her a great deal.

The assistant stared at the contracts on the table, her face ghastly white. She struggled for a very long time before finally signing her name.

Because it was the weekend, and also due to the huge scandal that had erupted yesterday, although Rong Dai and Magnolia Fragrance\'s names had been cleared, public opinion was still focused intensely upon them.

The couple was preparing to travel to Southwest China to film a documentary about the Hope Jewelry Series, so they were at home discussing what items to bring like an ordinary couple. Then they went shopping together at the mall.

When the couple returned from their shopping trip, Zhang Assistant was waiting for them at the front door to report on the latest developments.

"The matter with Yin Zhongjun has been resolved. However, as for Miss Shi\'s side...her assistant has taken the fall for her. Shi Ning has been released on bail."

Zhang Assistant updated the couple with the news he had received.

Rong Dai was puzzled. "That should warrant imprisonment. How could her assistant agree to take the blame?"

Zhang Assistant replied: "I investigated - three months ago, the assistant was diagnosed with terminal late-stage cancer. She only has around two more years left."

Rong Dai wasn\'t stupid either. Based on what Zhang Assistant said, it was already very obvious what had transpired.

Clearly, Brocade Embroidery Workshop had made a move, pushing the assistant forward to take the fall for Shi Ning.

With two years left to live, as long as Brocade Embroidery Workshop paid the assistant generously enough to satisfy her, it would be normal for her to assume the blame.

"Boss, now...what should we do?"

Zhang Assistant hesitantly asked.

No one had expected that Shi Ning would get so lucky, with an assistant who just so happened to have late-stage cancer by her side.

As long as the assistant admitted to it, Shi Ning could completely evade legal punishment.
