Chapter 433: Chapter 433: She is My Wife (4) Chapter 433: Chapter 433: She is My Wife (4) Zhao Chen recounted the situation he had learned, watching his boss, whose face had turned ashen.

“Is she alright?” Gu Annan calmed down.

Zhao Chen hurriedly said, “No harm has come to her. The mishap involved Lin Yu, who has now been urgently sent to the hospital. Since many eyes reportedly saw the Young Madam push her down the stairs, she inevitably had to go to the police station temporarily. However, I’ve already spoken to them; although she’s still detained, they won’t make things difficult for her.”

Hearing that she was unharmed, Gu Annan felt somewhat relieved.

After all, other matters were not important and could be easily resolved.

“Then why haven’t they released her yet?” He quickly walked towards the elevator.

“This time, I’m afraid it might be difficult. They temporarily… dare not release her,” Zhao Chen said with a furrowed brow, “Mr. Gu, there’s trouble. The situation has blown up.”

He handed over his tablet, which displayed the latest headline news, describing a rise in personal attacks within the Jin’an Group due to a struggle for shares, involving the eldest daughter and the stepmother who had been stripped of her shares. This type of gossipy societal news came with public interest in the dark side of wealthy families and the negative impact of assaulting someone in public.

It also insinuated that the eldest daughter had a strong background, and might soon be released from the police station, so for now, the station was under scrutiny and dared not release her carelessly.

“Mr. Gu, the situation has escalated too quickly. It’s no longer feasible to suppress it immediately,” Zhao Chen explained the development of events, “We’ve managed some guidance and controlled its spread, but we can’t suppress it forcibly, given that this is not as simple as a celebrity scandal.”

Gu Annan, with a gloomy face, didn’t say a word. After getting out of the elevator, he immediately got into the car.

Upon arriving at the police station, he expressed his intentions succinctly; the person had to be released.

The chief, observing his ominous demeanor, was at a loss momentarily.

Offending him was problematic, but not offending under the current media scrutiny could cost him his position if he released her.

Zhao Chen said cheerfully, “Well, as for bail, we’ll follow the rules. She won’t be lost; we can enforce a home detention order.”

The chief could only nod. Since it was by the book, it was acceptable.

Lu Wanwan was brought out and taken in front of Gu Annan, gazing at his stern face, the air heavy around him.

“I…”

About to speak, Zhao Chen quickly stepped forward, “Young Madam, please sign here first; we’ll talk after we get back.”

She hung her head and signed without caring what the document was.

Then she heard Gu Annan’s cold voice, “Chief Zhang, she can be released now, right?”

Chief Zhang had gone weak at the knees when he heard the words ‘Young Madam’ before.

He had thought she was just a woman Mr. Gu cared about, only to realize she was the Gu family’s Young Madam.

He then partly understood the situation; Lu Jingtian’s eldest daughter, the Gu family’s Young Madam, wouldn’t likely resort to pushing someone down the stairs in public if she intended harm.

Yet there was video evidence, and it stirred up tremendous uproar.

Lu Wanwan’s fingers intertwined together, her face pale as paper.

She had been silent upon coming out, didn’t make a fuss, but her eyes revealed a hint of vulnerability when she saw him.

Gu Annan took off his coat and wrapped her completely within it.

He left the police station swiftly, cradling her.

As soon as they left the police station, Lu Wanwan heard several clicking sounds from afar.

Reporters, who had been stationed around the area, suddenly sprang out.

Before the reporters could approach, Gu Annan quickly placed her in the car and then hurriedly drove off from the driver’s seat.

Only when the reporters arrived, hauling cameras and microphones, did Zhao Chen come out to clarify that their release was lawful.
