After saying that, the two police officers walked up, took out their handcuffs, and handcuffed Ou Mingxi’s hands.
This incident caught them off guard, and Ou Mingxi and Madam Ou were still stunned when Ou Mingxi’s hands were handcuffed.
By the time they recovered, Ou Mingxi realized that she had already been handcuffed to the hospital bed.
“Is there something wrong with you? Why are you handcuffing me? Shouldn’t you go to arrest Zhong Nuannuan? Why are you letting the assailant roam free while coming to arrest me instead? Let go of me! Let me go! Let go of me——”
Ou Mingxi glared at the police with such incomparable spite that the policemen she was staring at felt a chill run down their backs.
Madam Ou, who was on the side, could not hold herself back anymore, and she ran up to push the two policemen while shouting hysterically, “Are you guys crazy? You’re arresting my daughter instead of the real assailant. Do you know who she is? On what basis are you arresting her? Zhong Nuannuan caused my daughter to end up like this but you didn’t arrest her; have you accepted a bribe from her? Do you believe that I can go to the procuratorate to sue you?
“Unlock these! Open up my daughter’s handcuffs! I order you to open them up!”
At this moment, the police’s reinforcements arrived.
There were four police officers, with two of them being responsible for guarding the VIP ward, while the other two carried Madam Ou out.
The police were very upset at Madam Ou’s scolding, so their attitude toward her became rougher.
“Madam Ou, you must’ve clearly understood why we arrested Miss Ou Mingxi. Otherwise, it’d be impossible for you to talk to Ou Mingxi the way you did just now.”
“Let me make this clear, my daughter is the one who’s seriously injured now, not Zhong Nuannuan! My daughter is the victim! All this must be part of Zhong Nuannuan’s scheme! Why aren’t you arresting her, but arresting my injured daughter instead?”
“Madam Ou, the law is fair and just. Just because Miss Ou commited a crime and did not harm the other party does not mean that a crime was not committed. If Miss Ou is injured instead of the other party, it doesn’t mean it’s the victim’s fault either.
“In this matter, Miss Ou is the offender and wrongdoer, and Miss Zhong Nuannuan has already provided clear evidence on this matter. The first people to check the evidence included the commander-in-chief of the military base, Leng Jinpeng…”
“He’s Chi Yang’s superior, so of course he’d side with Chi Yang. That Zhong Nuannuan is Chi Yang’s girlfriend, so of course he’d side with Zhong Nuannuan!”
“Madam Ou, please stay calm. The first people who checked the evidence also included Governor Mu Xigui, Governor Li Yunshen, and your husband, Deputy Governor Ou Chenghe. We came to arrest Miss Ou after the agreement of several governors. Hence, if you say that this incident was planned by Miss Zhong Nuannuan, please provide substantial evidence before the court. Otherwise, Miss Ou will be convicted as the mastermind behind this case.”
When Madam Ou heard that there were so many big shots involved, she also knew that this matter was doomed.
Listening to Ou Mingxi’s hysterical screams from inside the ward, Madam Ou said with embarrassment, “Comrade police, since my Mingxi’s injuries are not yet healed, how about you let me take care of her, and I’ll promise not to let her leave the ward, is that okay?”
Madam Ou felt that as long as the police could be dismissed, she could say anything.
However——
“I’m sorry, Madam Ou, Miss Ou Mingxi is a prisoner now, and she should’ve been arrested immediately; since Miss Ou is injured, we’ve merely sent someone to guard her ward. However, from now on, this is a detention center, so everything must be carried out in accordance with the rules of a detention center. Please don’t interfere with official duties.”
Madam Ou was lost for words.
