Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 327 - Lawsuit and Jail

Chapter 327: Lawsuit and Jail

This matter was rather simple. As long as the Xia family was willing to settle, then they could sweep it under the rug.

However, the Xia family did not intend to give up and even sent a lawyer to take charge of this case. It was clear that they wanted to sue Qi Xiu and even send him to jail to teach him a lesson.

“Miss, my client only dropped his guitar and didn’t hurt anyone. You said that my client was going to step on your hand, but did he actually step on it?” Mr. Chen looked at Shen Xi and asked her. The lawyer that the Xia family hired was very famous in A City.

Shen Xi looked at him coldly and flashed a wicked grin. She suddenly picked up the fountain pen and made a move to stab the lawyer in the neck.

She moved so suddenly and aggressively. Mr. Chen was startled by her aura. Seeing the tip of the pen about to land on his aorta, he panicked and backed up a few steps. He was scared to death that he could not even scream.

Shen Xi stopped just one inch from his artery and looked at him playfully with a mocking smile.

Mr. Chen was terrified that he broke out in cold sweat. He had never felt this threatened for his life before. He looked at the girl in front of him and bellowed. “Crazy b*tch! Officers, what are you all just standing there. Quick! Arrest this murderous lunatic!”

The police were shocked too. Two guns were raised. If a murder actually occurred in the police station, they would be humiliated. Fortunately, the girl stopped in the nick of time. She just wanted to scare the lawyer.

Shen Xi smiled lightly and fiddled with the fountain pen. She looked so innocent and naive. “You said that I’m a murderer, but did I kill you?”

Shen Feng was frightened too. Listening to her playful tone, he came back to his senses. ‘Awesome! She’s just using this damned lawyer’s words back at him! That dumb*ss Xia Ze wanted to step on my sister. This bloody lawyer deserved to be spooked!’

“You…you…” Mr. Chen was so exasperated that he could not speak. He had never seen such a savage and pointed at her angrily. “You want to save this criminal? I’m telling you, as long as I’m on this case, he’ll be waiting for jail time!”

‘She wants to scare me? Am I so easily frightened? Just wait and see! Even if they didn’t offend the Xia family, I’ll never let them go for provoking me like that!’

Qi Xiu, who was being interrogated and sitting calmly nearby, looked at Shen Xi with more suspicion. He vaguely felt some appreciation for this beautiful and valiant girl. For anyone, this was incredibly attractive.

He was naturally no exception. Just like in the bar, this girl suddenly rushed over, like a beam of light that broke into his field of vision.

Qi Xiu also knew that she only helped him by telling the truth and not to win his favor.

At this moment, he suddenly felt ashamed of his thoughts that she was just following him and helping him just to squeeze him dry.

Shen Xi’s eyes were cold as she sneered and swept a glance at the lawyer. “Then let me tell you that as long as I’m around, he’ll never go to jail.”

“Just wait and see!” The lawyer sneered in exasperation, but he did not think that this girl could put up a fight with the Xia family. He looked at the police officer. “This is the hospital’s examination report. The relevant evidence will be sent over soon. I hope that you lot will do a good job and punish this kind of tyrannical assailant severely.”

The police officers were very cooperative and responded with different expressions and thoughts.

No one dared to offend the Xia family. Mr. Chen was a top lawyer in A City, so naturally, no one dared to offend him either. They gave a sympathetic look to Shen Xi and the boys.

These three youngsters were so unlucky to have offended the Young Master of the Xia family. As long as the Xia family sent word, they would be handed lawsuits and even jail time.

Mr. Chen had suffered a stifling loss against Shen Xi and held a grudge, so he left for the hospital to report on the situation.

In any case, Qi Xiu hurt Xia Ze, so the singer was at a disadvantage and was guilty of intentional assault. If the Xia family did not show mercy, he could get a five-year jail sentence and he would have a criminal record forever.

As for Xia Ze, he only smashed a guitar. The Xia family was loaded, so they could pay for any damages.

Shen Feng returned from his phone call with a sunken face. He looked at Shen Xi and said, “Xia Ze’s not willing to settle and wants Qi Xiu to go to jail.”

He had expected this because the Xia family was powerful in this small city. It would not be easy to get Qi Xiu out of this.

Shen Xi said, “Okay then. I’ll think of another way.”

Chinese society was all about connections. Everything was dependent on one’s network. If Shen Xi could not think of a way to convince the Xia family to withdraw their lawsuit, then Qi Xiu going to jail would be inevitable.

Shen Xi did not have many connections, but Old Shen did. However, she felt that Old Shen was not influential enough to get the Xia family to back down.

Qi Xiu broke Xia Ze’s leg, and it was to protect her. Even if he was not willing to sign with her, she could not bear to watch him go to jail.

Shen Xi called Yuan Yu and Jiang Yin to see if they could help.

With the right connection, this was just a matter of words. After all, Xia Ze only suffered some broken bones and it was not severe.

Yuan Yu said that he needed to make some calls to determine which relationship he should use to get Qi Xiu out of this predicament.

Jiang Yin heard it and said, “The Xia family from A City… Is it Xia Songbai? I’ll call your mom’s teacher now, so don’t worry. Everything will be okay. I’m here for you.”

Shen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Teacher.”

Jiang Yin smiled with satisfaction. The day finally came when her apprentice needed her help, so she, as a teacher, felt useful for once and was elated. “Now you know that I come in handy, huh? Last time, I even had to force you to be my apprentice.”

Shen Xi’s mouth is as sweet as honey. “Teacher, I’ve always known that you’re the best!”

Jiang Yin said, “I’ll call your grandfather first. He’s still nagging me for not bringing you home for the New Year!”

“I’ll definitely visit him in person someday,” Shen Xi said.

Shen Xi hung up the phone and pondered. She only knew that her teacher’s identity was very special and that her family was very powerful, so no one dared to mess with her. However, Shen Xi really had no idea what industry they were in.

Hearing her teacher’s tone, Shen Xi thought that perhaps Jiang Yin was from a political or military background, but Shen Xi had not heard of a big shot with the same last name, Jiang.

Standing at the entrance of the police station, Shen Xi saw a black Maybach stopping at the opposite side of the road. Soon, a tall and imposing man came out of the car.
