Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

Who knows, Huo Wanqing might make a comeback someday, and when she comes back to take revenge, they will regret not showing mercy today.

"Huo Wanqing is clamoring to see a lawyer, where is her lawyer? Has he shown up?"

Director Liu thought for a moment and pinched his brows in annoyance.

This time, it was the most difficult case he had ever dealt with in all his years of practice.

Garland did not give a clear signal that severe punishment or direct conviction would be advisable.

A small official like him who depends on the great nobles for survival can only figure out the thoughts of his superiors by himself.

"We contacted the Huo family, but they didn't respond."

Officer Li shook his head and felt a headache when he thought of the not-so-pleasant phone call with Huo Anzhi.

"What about the Lan family? No more news or instructions?"

"No, Lan Dian has not contacted us again."

Hearing Officer Li's reply, Chief Liu frowned instantly, feeling that his future seemed bleak.

The man has been brought back and all the evidence is complete, but they really dare not act rashly without anyone's instructions!

What if Garland's move to bring people back was just a smokescreen?

If they act on their own, they will definitely lose their official positions. If they touch Garland's people, they may even lose their lives!

"Director Liu, since Huo Wanqing has been saying that she wants to see Lan Dian, you say..."

"Should we ask for permission to let them meet?"

"It's good to test Lan Dian's intentions. It's not a good idea to keep wasting time like this."

"Brothers, we still have a lot of cases on hand!"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Officer Li's mind, and he leaned close to Chief Liu's ear and whispered a suggestion.

After hearing this, Director Liu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he stared at Huo Wanqing across the glass and fell into deep thought.

"Go, contact Lan Dian and tell him about Huo Wanqing's situation. See what Lan Dian means."

After about three or five minutes, Chief Liu seemed to have made up his mind and ordered Officer Li to do the job.

"Yes!"

Officer Li nodded repeatedly and turned around to contact the Lan family.

In Lanburg, Garland returned to the study after receiving the cold shoulder from Evelyn.

There was a knock on the door. Garland was startled and then he spoke.

"Brother, there's a call from the police station."

As soon as Yuri opened the door, a thick smoke rushed towards him, choking him and making it difficult for him to breathe.

Garland was sitting on the sofa, staring at his marriage certificate with Evelyn, and the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts and about to overflow.

"What's going on?"

Garland said as he put out the cigarette in his hand and locked the marriage certificate back into the drawer with an expressionless face.

"Huo Wanqing refused to plead guilty and kept asking to see a lawyer and... you."

"See what I do."

"If the evidence is not all conclusive, why bother admitting it? Just convict directly."

"It seems that the police have been having a very comfortable time recently and are no longer able to handle cases."

Garland's eyes were stern, and there was an inexplicable sense of danger in his words.

"I have already taught them a lesson, but Huo Wanqing said there are facts you want to know, so..."

Yuri paused and hesitated for a long time before deciding to say Huo Wanqing's original words.

Although he didn't want Garland to see Huo Wanqing for any reason, after all, Garland and Evelyn had just gotten rid of the burden of Huo Wanqing.

If Evelin knew about this, it would be difficult to handle if she misunderstood that Garland was handling things for Huo Wanqing.

"What do I want to know?"

Garland narrowed his cold eyes and crossed his hands under his chin in deep thought.

"She didn't say a word about what exactly."

"I haven't replied to the police yet, what do you think, brother?"

Yuri nodded, but in his heart he couldn't help cursing Huo Wanqing for always making trouble in various ways and disturbing the peace of Garland and Evelyn.

"Prepare the car."

Yuri's voice fell for a long time before Garland replied with two faint words.

"Your Highness..."

Yuri was stunned. He really didn't expect Garland to agree to meet Huo Wanqing.

"I have my own sense of proportion."

Garland put on his coat and strode out of the room. Yuri could only sigh helplessly, shake his head and follow him.

Even a straight man like him could sense that Evelyn was very concerned about Garland's contact with Huo Wanqing, but Garland still didn't get it.

Late at night, the air after the rain is particularly fresh with the night breeze.

Huo Wanqing curled up on the wooden bed, listening to the cicadas and frogs chirping outside, but couldn't fall asleep.

After Officer Li contacted the Lan family, the police station skipped the cumbersome case handling process and convicted her directly without her confession.

She was not even given the opportunity to see a lawyer and was directly locked up in a detention center, leaving her only with the right to appeal.

However, Huo Wanqing knew very well that the police station was afraid of her identity and would never dare to act rashly towards her.

Since they were able to put an end to her directly, it must have been with the approval of the Lan family, and it was Garland's intention.

Even if she appeals, the result will always be the same and it can never be changed.

"Garland, I love you so much, but you treat me so cruelly!"

Huo Wanqing clenched her back teeth tightly as she spoke. The stars in her eyes had long since disappeared, leaving only endless gloom.

"Why are you mumbling about something when you're not sleeping?"

"You're still acting like a big shot after coming here! Who's spoiling you?"

Suddenly, Huo Wanqing was kicked from the side. She covered her abdomen in pain. Before the pain could ease, she was slapped hard in the face.

"You dare to hit me!"

Huo Wanqing widened her eyes and stared in disbelief at the woman in prison uniform in front of her, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Why, do I need to file a petition for permission to beat you?"

The woman folded her arms and looked down at Huo Wanqing condescendingly. There was only one word written on her face: contempt.

"You are tired of living!"

Huo Wanqing gritted her teeth, endured the pain, jumped up from the wooden bed, and slapped the woman in the face with her backhand.

The woman seemed stunned by the sudden blow and stood there for a long time before she came to her senses.

"It seems that I still need to teach you the rules."

The woman moved her neck and crackled her fingers, then approached Huo Wanqing step by step, pulled her long hair and pulled her to the ground.

Huo Wanqing looked at the other criminals who got up and came over together, and felt a sense of fear in her heart for some reason. Two fists are no match for four hands. If she offended someone in a place like this, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape unscathed.

Before she could figure out what to do next, fists and kicks started raining down on her.

Huo Wanqing was pinned to the ground by several people and was beaten so hard that she was unable to resist.

She could only curl up on the ground with her head in her hands, letting the tears and snot flow freely on her face, but she didn't make a single sob.
