Wu Guangxia vented his anger, and his tone softened considerably, but the rage on his face remained: "They're now insisting that our people committed burglary and attempted murder! Murder! Murder! This one charge alone is enough to make the Wu family suffer!"

Wu Sirou's face turned deathly pale!

How could this be?

She just wanted to teach Xu Fangli a lesson and give her a warning; she hadn't done anything wrong!

"Dad... I... I didn't expect this... I didn't know either... Xu Fangli, she's just a poor girl, she..."

"What's the use of saying all this now! It turns out that the woman surnamed Xu has someone backing her, someone that our Wu family can't afford to offend!"

Since the Wu family established a cooperative relationship with Shengshi Group, there are really not many people in Beijing that the Wu family can't afford to offend.

Who is it? !

Wu Guangxia's eyes were full of gloom, but he forced himself to calm down, got up, picked up his phone from the coffee table, and walked out.

"Zhongquan, come with me to the police station. Let's see if we can get him out..."

Wu Sirou looked at her older cousin with hidden anger on her face. Wu Zhongquan glanced at her disdainfully, got up and followed her out.

Unexpectedly, Wu Guangxia personally took action, and even after all the effort, the person detained at the police station was still not released by the afternoon.

The few people in the police station thought they would be released quickly after such a minor incident. After all, the shady things they had done for the Wu family in the past were all more serious than teaching a woman a lesson, and in the end, the Wu family was always able to resolve all the troubles.

To everyone's surprise, they had been inside for a day and a night with no word from the police station or the Wu family.

A sense of unease crept into their hearts. People like them were both familiar with and wary of places like police stations.

The longer I stayed here, the less composed I became, and the more uneasy I felt inside.

Then a policeman came over with a statement and asked them to sign it one by one. The striking words on the paper, "Disturbing the peace, premeditated murder, burglary," made the men all pause in surprise.

"How could it be premeditated murder? We didn't commit murder! Nor did we rob anyone!"

This kind of crime is no joke. Once sentenced to several years in prison, they are bound to suffer. Having already experienced it, they would rather die than go back to prison!

The police officer said calmly with a serious expression, "These are the charges brought by the victim's lawyer. As for whether they are valid, our police will investigate. Sign them quickly!"

"We won't sign! We also want to hire lawyers. Where's Mr. Wu? We want to see Mr. Wu!"

Downstairs at the Wu family's house at that time.

Reporters and netizens seemed to have planned it all, waiting at the door, demanding an explanation from Ms. Wu.

Wu's stock has been falling since the morning.

In the office, Wu Guangxia, Wu Zhongquan, and other senior executives and legal counsel of the Wu Group all had grim faces, and the atmosphere was excessively heavy.

"Mr. Wu, at this point, we can only try to get those people inside to take the blame. As for Miss... let's have her issue an apology statement to quell the online anger first."

Wu family.

Wu Sirou stood in front of Wu Guangxia, saying incredulously, "Dad, do you really want me to apologize to that bitch?!"

"What's wrong with apologizing! If it weren't for your Wu family, would we be in this mess now? It's just asking you to apologize, it's not like you're losing anything, why are you unwilling! Besides, you could ask anyone else to teach a woman a lesson, why did you have to use your own family? Now you've been caught red-handed and can't clear your name, you're not going to deal with the stupid thing you did, and you want the Wu family to suffer along with you?!"

Wu Zhongquan, who had been running around with Wu Guangxia all day, spoke in a cold tone with a dissatisfied expression.

"I was asking my dad, and he didn't say anything. Why are you interfering?"

After angrily confronting Wu Zhongquan, Wu Sirou turned to Wu Guangxia with a wronged expression: "Dad... I don't want to..."

“This time it’s not up to you. Think it over carefully tonight and issue an apology statement tomorrow morning.” Wu Sirou was about to say something when her father impatiently interrupted her.

"Once this is over, I'll arrange for you to go abroad. Take advantage of your injuries to lay low for a while, and come back when things have calmed down."

Wu Sirou bit her lip and silently shed tears.

Does she still have a choice now?

The next morning, before the 8 a.m. workers had even arrived at their posts, an apology statement issued by Wu Sirou's personal account had already appeared online.

She said that everything was caused by her, that she disliked certain people and that they targeted her several times. She didn't expect that she would not only fail to gain anything but also get hurt. Later, she was so angry that she sent someone to her door to warn her in order to vent her anger.

She also said that she did not intend to hurt anyone, but only wanted to scare the other party, but she did not expect that the people Wu had just hired would not know their limits and would clash with the security guards.

Wu Sirou not only issued a statement, but also attached an apology video.

Calling it an apology is an understatement; it's more like playing the victim to gain sympathy.

In the video, her face was deathly pale, and both her hands were in thick casts. Those who knew her would think she had a dislocated wrist, but those who didn't would think she had a comminuted fracture of both arms, which was why she was so badly bandaged.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she seemed to be recounting what had happened, but in the end, she spoke haltingly and unclearly, only apologizing repeatedly with red eyes.

People seem to always believe what they see with their own eyes. Seeing Wu Sirou in such a miserable state, many netizens felt sorry for her.

In particular, she was accused of abusing her power, but the victim never showed up. As people raised questions, Wu's public relations team quickly began to guide the discussion, and soon the online criticism of Wu Sirou began to subside.

Later, the police also reported that although the arrested individuals were all employees of the Wu family, they all admitted that all their actions were self-initiated and had nothing to do with the Wu family.

They even said that Wu Sirou only told them to give a warning and specifically emphasized that they were not allowed to hurt anyone. They said that they were a bit rough because they wanted to curry favor with the boss, but they did not intend to kill anyone!

In the end, the case was sentenced as disorderly conduct, since Fang Li was not at home at the time and no substantial harm was caused.

At the Han Group building, Lin Mo was reporting the results of the matter.

"Boss, the Wu family has chosen to sacrifice one pawn to save the king. Although the direct perpetrators were their employees, the incident occurred outside of work hours, and the employees' private actions don't implicate the Wu family. Wu Guangxia privately paid those people a hefty hush money payment, and now they've all changed their testimonies and taken all the blame. As for that Wu Sirou..."
