Chapter 295 - 295 Arrest
295 Arrest
When Chen Zhao saw Jing Yan, he subconsciously wanted to push Tao Xin away. It was too rude to hold a woman like this in front of the president. However, when he saw her tear-stained face, he suddenly could not bear to do it.
He turned around and hid her behind him. He bowed his head said seriously, “President Jing, Miss He, you’re here.”
“Yes.” Jing Yan took He Miao’s hand and stood aside, ordering the police behind him to take Tao Xin away.
Seeing a group of men in uniform surrounding her, Tao Xin trembled in fear and could not help shaking her head. “I don’t want to. I don’t want to. Brother Chen Zhao, please save me.”
Chen Zhao had no choice but to raise his arm to block their way. He frowned and asked, “I don’t know what wrong Tao Xin has done to make the police mobilize so many people.”
The policemen looked at each other. The man in the lead took out the arrest warrant and held it in front of him. “If you have anything to say, you can ask President Jing yourself. We must take this woman away today!”
Chen Zhao pushed his glasses up his nose and looked at the warrant. When he saw the words “embezzled a large amount of money”, his expression changed. He turned around and looked at Tao Xin in shock. “You really embezzled Miss He’s money? Tao Xin, did you really do this?”
“No!” Tao Xin’s face was already pale. Facing Chen Zhao’s questioning and Xu Ling’s undisguised scorn, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. This was obviously not a consequence she could afford to bear.
However, the facts and evidence were in front of her, and she could not continue to quibble. She could only rub her hair weakly. The originally bright and beautiful beauty was now like a raving madman.
The police officer in charge gave a look to the people around him, and they immediately went forward to handcuff Tao Xin. They held Tao Xin on both sides and walked back to Jing Yan. “Thank you for your cooperation, President Jing. We have disturbed you today. We will definitely return Miss He’s money in full after verification. Also, my colleagues will be in charge of investigating the renovation team. We will definitely give Miss He a satisfactory explanation.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Jing Yan put an arm around He Miao’s shoulder and nodded at them, indicating that they could leave with Tao Xin.
However, when Tao Xin saw He Miao, who was being watched tenderly by Jing Yan, she suddenly went crazy. She struggled to break free from the two policemen’s restraints, ran to He Miao, and grabbed her by the collar. “You framed me, didn’t you? You were unhappy that President Jing introduced me to you from the beginning because you were jealous that I could always be by President Jing’s side. In order to keep him to yourself, you tried to get rid of all the women around him, right?”
Jing Yan had already stood in front of He Miao the moment she charged at her like a madwoman. Her long nails scratched the side of his face, and the pain made him turn his head subconsciously, allowing her to find an opening to touch He Miao.
The police officers behind her finally reacted. They quickly pried her fingers away and pressed her to the ground, not allowing her to move.
However, Tao Xin was still struggling on the ground like a fish out of water. She could only struggle on the shore, unable to return to the ocean that once belonged to her.
He Miao’s heart ached as she went to check on the wound on Jing Yan’s face. Then, she walked coldly to Tao Xin and squatted down, anger rising in her heart.
For the first time, she revealed a sinister and terrifying expression that made everyone afraid to move. She grabbed Tao Xin’s hair forcefully, forcing Tao Xin to look up and meet her eyes. “Listen up, no one forced you to embezzle the renovation funds, and no one forced you to work with the renovation company to cut corners on the electrical circuits. This was your own choice. You deserve this. You can’t blame anyone but yourself for this.”
Tao Xin stared at He Miao, whose expression had changed drastically. She had always thought that she was a soft persimmon that anyone could squeeze. It was only now that she realized how wrong she was. He Miao was not a good-for-nothing that could be pushed around by anyone. The real idiot was herself!
All the questions that she could not understand in the past were answered at this moment.
He Miao must have realized that she liked Jing Yan the first time she met her. He Miao noticed her feelings, but she did not say anything. She even trusted her with a huge sum of money to manage, all to test if she really had evil intentions.
All of a sudden, she wanted to know if He Miao would still tolerate her if she did not do all these things and only liked Jing Yan in secret.
Thinking of this, Tao Xin silently lowered her head and stared at the shadow reflected on the ground, muttering to herself, “I don’t believe that you’ve never wanted to drive me away. You know that I like Jing Yan too.”
“What did you just say?” Chen Zhao was already shocked by He Miao’s sudden imposing manner. Now that he heard Tao Xin’s words, he felt as if he heard something crack in his chest.
