Chapter 11 Seeking Help from the Big Shot

Bai Meilan raised her hand affectionately and pinched An Baoying's cheek, laughing softly, "Why are you panicking? Isn't your mother here? Wu Zhigang is a distant relative of mine. When you texted me for help, Wu Zhigang was already complaining to me about wanting to settle accounts with that little thief An Ge. So, I had him exaggerate the facts and pretend to be blind to make sure we could send that little brat An Ge back in. Just think, once she's in, it will be easy to get rid of her baby, right?"

With Bai Meilan's reassurance, An Baoying completely relaxed. She beamed, "Mom, it'd be best if we could have her die in prison. Only then can we keep this secret safe, and I can truly secure my position as the future Young Madam of the Huo Family."

Bai Meilan curled her lips and said, "What's the hurry? Your brother is still waiting for her kidney to extend his life. We must take it step by step."

...

Half an hour later, [Southern City Police Station].

An Ge handed a recording pen to the police officer, saying, "My father sold me out for glory, and Wu Zhigang attempted to rape me. I acted in self-defense; this is the evidence."

The recording contained the conversation of An Zhiguo forcing An Ge to meet Wu Zhigang and Wu Zhigang's vulgar words as he tried to assault An Ge.

"You little brat, as long as you agree to meet Boss Wu and make him happy, I'll let you see your mom."

"If you don't cooperate, I'll stop all your mom's medical expenses. Make your own decision."

"Little beauty, don't resist, you can't escape. Your dad took a billion investment from me, so I'm free to do as I please."

"Hah, you shameless wench! Resist again, and I'll kill you!"

"Ah—"

After listening to the entire recording, the police officer looked sternly at An Ge and said, "Though you claim self-defense, Wu Zhigang said you blinded him, which constitutes excessive self-defense. Unless the victim is willing to settle privately, you will still face jail time."

Pausing for a moment, "Unless someone bails you out and fights your case."

An Ge thought the officer was certainly bribed. Clearly, she was the victim, yet she was being accused of excessive self-defense while the perpetrator might roam free. It was utterly unjust.

An Ge thought for a moment and said, "I want to make a call."

...

At that moment, [Huo Mansion].

Mrs. Huo was examining a severely damaged artifact with a magnifying glass. It was an ancient folding fan, a token of affection from the old master when he was alive.

Housekeeper Su approached her with a senior-friendly phone in hand, respectfully saying, "Madam, it's a call from An Ge."

Five minutes later, Mrs. Huo entered the East Garden with her entourage.

At that time, Huo Shaoyan had just returned to the East Garden of the Huo Mansion. He was by the well, fetching water to take a shower.

Though he had wandered alone since childhood, and his status was now prestigious, his deepest habits had not changed a bit. No matter summer or winter, he preferred to shower with well water.

Seeing Mrs. Huo approach, he set aside the water bucket, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing running to my place in the middle of the night?"

Mrs. Huo got straight to the point, "I need you to go to the Southern City Police Station and bail out An Ge for me."

As soon as she said it, Huo Shaoyan frowned, "Reason?"

Mrs. Huo replied, "Isn't it enough that she has the Rhnull blood type?"

Without hesitation, Huo Shaoyan refused, "She's just a shameless and vulgar rogue. I would rather bail out a murderer than her."

Mrs. Huo narrowed her eyes deeply and spoke earnestly, "Shaoyan, now you're the head of the family, and you make your own decisions. I haven't interfered in your affairs with An Baoying as a sign of respect. But An Ge saved my life, so I must get her out. Besides, she is an Rhnull blood type carrier—a living blood bank as precious as gold. Just for that, I won't allow you to ignore her."

Huo Shaoyan caught on to the key point and asked deeply, "Saved your life?"

"Two months ago, when I went to the prison to visit your uncle, I was nearly hit by a car on the way out, and An Ge saved me. She even got injured for it."

Mrs. Huo paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Originally, I brought her to the Huo Mansion to help her with her current predicament, but she ended up being targeted by your lecherous second uncle, which scared her away from the mansion. Now she's asking for my help, and I cannot stand by."

Then, Mrs. Huo changed her tone, "You must bail her out, or I'll hang myself on the crooked tree by your well."

Huo Shaoyan was speechless.

...

An hour later, Huo Shaoyan appeared at the [Southern City Police Station].
