Tong Yan accompanied Xu Xinduo to the police station. After arriving, they inquired about the situation and found out that Mu Qingyao could not be released on bail at this time and they couldn’t arrange a meeting with her either.
Only her defense attorney could see Mu Qingyao.
After hearing this, Xu Xinduo and Tong Yan stepped aside before she lowered her eyes and said, “I won’t help her find a lawyer and based on Mu Wenyan’s nonchalant attitude towards her, I highly doubt he will. Mom… would probably just try to obtain a commutation. “
“Mu Qingyao turned herself in after hurting someone. Didn’t this already prove that she had already planned for the worst?”
“My relationship with her is already very bad; now that she’s in hot water, I shouldn’t be caring too much about it… Now, I’ll just tell Mu Qingyi the truth and let them decide for themselves. Is it okay to deal with things this way?”
Tong Yan nodded, “Mm.”
In fact, Tong Yan didn’t want Xu Xinduo to involve herself in this matter.
He now felt that it was a very wise choice for Xu Xinduo to simply cut off the relationship with this family. Now that something had happened to the Mu family, Xu Xinduo had also become the object of some people’s criticism. Tong Yan always felt very angry when he heard remarks like that.
Now that Xu Xinduo was still worrying about them, Tong Yan could only clench his teeth with hatred.
Xu Xinduo sent a message to Mu Qingyi and he replied only after a long time: [I see. Thank you, you should go back and rest early.]
Xu Xinduo looked at the message on her phone and couldn’t help but be a little worried, so she followed up the message and asked: [How is your situation?]
Mu Qingyi: [It’s okay.]
Tong Yan also looked at his phone at this time and said to Xu Xinduo, “I asked the company’s lawyer about this. Mu Qingyao’s situation depends on the other party’s injury— if the injury is minor, she will be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of less than 3 years of criminal detention or control. But if the injury is serious, it might take 3 to 10 years for her to be released. The school would also have to be responsible.”
“So Mu Qingyao is destined to drop out of high school and can only return after a few years?”
“That’s right.”
Xu Xinduo sighed, but she didn’t care anymore as this was Mu Qingyao’s own choice.
She left with Tong Yan and he followed her back to the apartment with a surge of shamelessness, saying that he had to stick to her side in order to protect her for fear of a sudden accident’s occurrence.
The hospital staff really hadn’t had a chance to take a break and the situation was worse than Mu Qingyi had thought.
It was only when he arrived at the hospital that he found out that the victims of Mu Qingyao’s actions included his father.
Mu Qingyi also paid for Shen Zhuhang and Li Xinning’s medical expenses before he went to see his father in the ward.
Father Mu was in a coma as his eyes remained closed.
After inquiring about his condition, he learned that Father Mu’s wound had been treated and he was out of danger. However, he had not woken up because he had lost too much blood.
Mu Qingyi busied himself in the hospital to get the results, making up for the expenses for the victims’ hospitalization and so on.
When he returned to the door of the ward, he met Mother Shen.
When Mother Shen saw that her dear son was injured, she went insane. Regardless of the fact that Father Mu was still in a coma, she started swearing and yelling when she entered the ward.
