Chapter 795 Huo Yige Investigates Xiao Qiangwei
next day
Mohist Old House
Mu Qianqian was still asleep when her phone rang on the bedside table.
She opened her eyes, picked up her phone, and was a little puzzled to see that it was Huo Yige calling.
The law firm is on a roll lately, having won several major international cases. They shouldn't need her for anything, right?
She swiped the screen to answer the call.
"You'd better have something important to tell me before you bother me this early, or I'll yell at you."
Mu Qianqian's tone carried an discomfort at being disturbed.
"This is indeed a major matter, Mu Lu."
"What's the big deal? Has the law firm taken on another extremely difficult case? Or has the Bar Association forced another person into the firm?"
"None of them are related to Wanwan baby."
Huo Yige didn't keep them in suspense and told them directly.
"Is it related to Wanwan? Could it be that the Xiao family asked you to plead not guilty?"
Mu Qianqian guessed correctly every time.
"Well, I don't know where that Mr. Xiao got the courage to actually go through all that trouble to come to me."
Huo Yige let out a sneer.
"He really has a lot of courage. Did you accept the offer?"
Mu Qianqian's tone implied that if you took this case, she and Huo Yige would fall out, to the point of no return.
Am I stupid or just plain dumb?
"You do occasionally make silly mistakes."
"If someone makes a personal attack, I might sue you."
Huo Yige was joking.
“I didn’t take the case. I even told him that he hurt my precious goddaughter and still expected me to defend her? He’s dreaming. I’m already being lenient by not uniting all the law firms in Country C to boycott his daughter’s case.”
"You still have some self-awareness."
"Of course, how could I help outsiders bully my goddaughter? However, although I didn't explicitly tell those law firms not to handle his daughter's case, I received information that no law firm or lawyer in Country C dared to take his case. It's because you, Attorney Mu, have such prestige!"
"What prestige do I have with my clever words and flattery? However, I guess he won't give up and will apply for legal aid, so that a public interest lawyer can represent him."
"So what? When the evidence is irrefutable, can a public interest lawyer really turn a guilty plea into an innocent one?"
"Moreover, I have received information that the legal aid center and the lawyer who took his case simply went through a formality and did not help him plead not guilty."
"As expected."
"Therefore, what his daughter Xiao Qiangwei did to his precious Wanwan was outrageous, and no lawyer was willing to help him get off the hook."
"Add to that your prestige, reputation, the power of the Mo family, and the strength of our Red Circle Law Firm, which lawyer would dare to oppose us?"
"Stop talking nonsense and do me a favor."
Mu Qianqian stopped Huo Yige from exaggerating.
"what's up?"
"I don't believe that Xiao Qiangwei is being investigated secretly. What she did to my daughter is the first time. The focus should be on her overseas experiences and itinerary, and whether she has any criminal record."
"That's easy, I'll check right away."
"However, you can investigate your Erchen too! Why bother me?"
Huo Yige was joking.
"Are you stupid! My son has a special status and is related to the Mo Group. If he were to investigate, it would cause discord in the outside world."
"I understand, okay, give me some time."
"please."
"No need to be so polite. For the sake of my precious goddaughter Wanwan, I will do my best to investigate Xiao Qiangwei."
"Thanks."
"By the way, how is Wanwan's injury? I'll take my wife and son to see her tomorrow."
"The hospital determined it to be a minor fracture, and hospitalization is still required."
"That damned Xiao Qiangwei, she's courting death!"
Huo Yige cursed.
"Meng Size has made his move; the Xiao family is already bankrupt."
"Serves her right! Xiao Qiangwei is a ruthless person. She single-handedly bankrupted her family. She brought this upon herself."
"Alright, stop cursing. Let's get on with the investigation of Xiao Qiangwei."
"Okay then, I'm hanging up."
Huo Yige hung up the phone.
Mu Qianqian got up and didn't see Mo Tingye, so she probably knew where he had gone.
Recently, he has been discussing his eldest son and daughter-in-law's wedding with the Cheng family.
After washing up, she changed into comfortable casual clothes and went downstairs.
Downstairs in the living room, Xu Zhiyi and Cheng Sinuo were discussing going to the hospital to visit their younger sister, Wanwan.
"Mom, you're up? How's my sister?"
"Mom, let's hurry and take food to Wanwan and the others. I want to check on my sister."
Xu Zhiyi and Cheng Sinuo pulled Mu Qianqian along, their voices full of concern.
"Okay, let's go deliver the food. Wanwan had her treatment yesterday, she should be feeling better today."
"Wang Ma, quickly tell the kitchen to prepare food for the Third Miss."
Mu Qianqian gave instructions to Wang Ma.
“Yes, Madam. I made pork bone soup last night and sent it to the Third Miss. People say that you can cure a disease by eating what you have. Please don’t scold me, Madam.”
Wang Ma was worried that the phrase "using form to supplement form" might offend the Third Miss.
"It's alright, hurry up and get ready, we're going to the hospital right away."
"Okay, ma'am."
Wang Ma turned and went to the kitchen.
"Mother-in-law, I've come to apologize to you."
"I'm sorry, mother-in-law, it's all my fault. I'm so sorry that my daughter-in-law got hurt."
Madam Meng appeared at the entrance to the living room.
Mu Qianqian's expression changed.
She was in no mood to listen to Madam Meng's apology. Her anger hadn't subsided yet.
"Mrs. Meng, can a flimsy apology really undo the harm done to my Wanwan?"
"Since Madam Meng likes that woman Xiao Qiangwei and wants to help her break up my daughter and her son, then let it continue! My precious daughter will never have to worry about not being loved."
Mu Qianqian's words were sarcastic.
Her face was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.
This was the first time Xu Zhiyi and Cheng Sinuo had ever seen their mother-in-law so coldly mock someone.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
"No, my dear in-law, I didn't mean that. It wasn't to help Xiao Qiangwei. I thought that if she saw the beautiful and outstanding Wanwan, she would back down. Who knew that vicious woman would hurt Wanwan?"
"Mother-in-law, I truly know I was wrong, I'm so sorry!"
"When we went to settle accounts with Xiao Qiangwei yesterday, Erchen also came with his men. He used the chandelier in the Xiao family's living room to smash Xiao Qiangwei's legs, avenging Wanwan. Didn't you know?"
Seeing the shocked expression on Mu Qianqian's face, Madam Meng immediately realized that she had once again caused trouble by talking too much.
Mo Erchen definitely didn't want his parents and family to worry, which is why he didn't tell them. He let it slip today.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"Is everything you said true?"
Mu Qianqian hurriedly grabbed Madam Meng's hand.
"Yes, it's true. Old Meng and I were both there."
"Did he handle it well? Did he leave any evidence against him?"
Mu Qianqian asked nervously.
