Chapter 546: Chapter 546 - Betting Life (2)_1

...

Shortly after Chi Mu was taken away by the police, Chi Yao was informed and he spent the entire night focused on Chi Mu’s incident. Only by noon the next day did he return home.

As soon as he entered the house, Ai Jiang immediately stood up and asked, "Mr. Chi, how did it go? Did you get to see Miss?"

Chi Yao shook his head, a look of dejection on his face, "I didn’t get to see her. The Han Family has intervened in this matter, I asked for countless favors, but I couldn’t even get any information about Xiao Mu, let alone see her."

Upon hearing this, Ai Jiang secretly pinched herself. Using the pain as an excuse, she quickly welled up with tears, "I’m sorry, Mr. Chi, it’s all my fault. I wasn’t watching over Miss properly. Why did I go to buy her clothes, I should have stayed with her..."

The more Ai Jiang spoke, the guiltier she sounded, her tears falling more freely, "I clearly saw her trying to commit suicide, I should have realized her emotions were unstable. Mr. Chi, it’s all my fault, everything is my fault... I’m sorry Mr. Chi, I let Ms. Chi down..."

"That’s enough, stop crying and blaming yourself. No one would have thought that Xiao Mu would be so impulsive as to attempt murder with a knife..." Chi Yao, who had been running around all night, rubbed his tired eyes and collapsed on the sofa.

Ai Jiang immediately went over to him, standing behind him. As she sobbed, she began to massage his neck and shoulders, "How serious is the situation now?"

"It’s hard to say, attempted murder. If the Han Family does not relent, Xiao Mu will inevitably end up in jail..." Chi Yao said, rubbing his forehead with a pained expression on his face, "The Han Family’s matriarch was already unhappy about the last reception; with this mess now, even if I try to plead with her, I doubt she will be lenient..."

"What should we do then? Are we just going to let Miss end up in jail? Mr. Chi, we can’t let this happen, Miss is still so young. Her life will be ruined if she goes to jail; not to mention, she won’t be able to endure the suffering in prison. It’s like forcing her to her death!" As Ai Jiang spoke, she began crying again, intentionally letting a tear drop onto Chi Yao’s neck.

Chi Yao extended his hand, patting her hand, "I already know what you’re saying... Aren’t I also worried?"

Ai Jiang tightly held onto Chi Yao’s rough, aged hand, suppressing a sense of disgust and timidly said, "Mr. Chi, I do have an idea..."

"Idea? What idea? Let’s hear it." Chi Yao immediately perked up.

"But....this method isn’t very nice... I’m afraid you’ll be angry if I say it." Ai Jiang hesitated.

"No, go ahead and say."

Upon hearing this, Ai Jiang finally spoke, "Mr. Chi, you obviously don’t want Miss to go to jail, right? The only way to avoid this is making her appear mentally ill... I know you may not accept this, but think about it. At most, Miss will stay in a mental hospital for a while and we can control the time - three months, or even two months, or one month... It’s much better than going to jail. Also, Miss made such a big scene at the Yuerong Club ceremony, if she has a history of mental illness, it can be used as an excuse to save face. It won’t be too embarrassing for you... When this blows over and Miss returns from the mental hospital, you can make it up to her..."
