Chapter 2100 She must have been wronged.
"Let's do as she says first." Cheng Mingtai sighed helplessly. "I'll try to get her back to S City."
Qi Hongyan's eyes lit up immediately. "That's a great idea. The crime occurred in S City, so we can request that the person be taken back to S City for interrogation." Cheng Mingtai has a powerful background in S City. If they go to S City, even the worst outcome can save the boss's life.
To find a quiet environment, Cheng Mingtai went to Zhang Ran's study, closed the door, and made a phone call, telling Xia Wei the general situation.
"...Currently, all the evidence points to her. If this continues, she will most likely be sentenced to death and have all her personal property confiscated."
“I’ve looked into the case about her instructing her bodyguard to poison her grandfather. There are some suspicious points. She didn’t do it.”
Cheng Mingtai received a call from Qiao Xi. Before leaving S City, he had called his cousin Mu Mingqi to inform him that he was temporarily leaving S City and going out of the compound. However, he could not get through to Mu Mingqi, so he could only call his wife Xia Wei.
Xia Wei thus learned about Zhang Ran's murder case.
“She’s usually arrogant, and this time she’s offended someone with considerable influence.” Cheng Mingtai pinched his brow. “Now she’s been framed, and there’s plenty of evidence and witnesses. The case is very complicated, and I might not be able to protect her.”
"You've already seen her?"
“I didn’t see her. The police don’t allow visits. Only her lawyer saw her once. I’ll try to see her tomorrow as her lawyer.”
"Would she be so stupid as to wait for someone to frame her?"
Cheng Mingtai paused for a moment, "...She did indeed have some idea and signed the share transfer agreement in advance. From this, we can infer that the person behind the scenes is most likely after her assets. Here's what I'm thinking: since the incident occurred in a hospital in our S City, why not use that as a pretext to have our S City police come to Beijing and bring her and her bodyguard back to S City for interrogation?"
"I'll handle this."
Hearing Xia Wei agree immediately on the phone, Cheng Mingtai breathed a sigh of relief and hung up.
The door was pushed open, and he subconsciously looked up to see Qiao Xi walk in. He took the initiative to greet her, "Wife."
Qiao Xi looked at him with a serious expression: "I've been classmates with Zhang Ran for four years, and I know her very well. She would never be so stupid as to instruct her bodyguard to poison her grandfather at the hospital and leave behind such irrefutable evidence as surveillance video. She must have been framed."
"You've already learned about the case. How confident are you in clearing her name and getting her out of trouble?" Only she knew that Zhang Ran was a skilled hacker. Of course, Zhang Ran hadn't told her; she had discovered it by accident.
The game company had previously suffered a hacker attack, and everyone was helpless. Zhang Ran provided remote assistance to repel the hackers.
Even if Zhang Ran did instruct her bodyguards to kill someone, they would definitely destroy the surveillance video afterward, which would be too easy for a hacker. Therefore, it is obvious that Zhang Ran was framed.
Cheng Mingtai fell silent.
Qiao Xi's heart skipped a beat, and the composure she had maintained on her face vanished instantly, leaving her vulnerable and pale.
Cheng Mingtai stepped forward and hugged her. "Don't worry, I'll do my best." He then let go of her and asked with concern, "Are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat." She definitely hadn't eaten dinner.
Not just Qiao Xi, but everyone else hadn't eaten dinner.
Qiao Xi nodded, and the two of them walked out together.
Cheng Mingtai went to the kitchen to cook. There were ingredients readily available in the refrigerator, so he could use them as needed. He guessed that everyone probably hadn't eaten yet, so he cooked a lot.
Although everyone was hungry, they had no appetite and naturally no one went to the kitchen to help.
Cheng Mingtai was busy with something when his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Mu Mingqi calling him back.
