The Devil Doctor's Spicy Love
Chapter 266: Benefit

Chapter 266: Benefit

Mingshen said, "So you want to bail out my employee because you think it’s a good way to marry me?"

Mulan smiled. "Being indebted can be one of the ways. And not a bad one I think."

She handed out a file to Jia, which she slowly took from her. She read through it and couldn’t help but be amazed. "You sorted out Bai Yingtai’s bail?"

She shrugged up her shoulders.

"But how? With the attack against Hou Tengqi and harassment charges Meng Rin-"

"There was never any harassment. She herself said so last night that it was a misunderstanding but Fei Nanyou was too agitated to believe her. Plus, I had seen the sleepy guy enter Meng Rin’s room last night. I was on my way back from a call when I saw a giant man stepping in some room. I thought it was his own room. I barely saw that he collapsed on the bed as soon as he entered."

"That’s my employee all right," Mingshen shrugged.

"So he clearly didn’t go there with some hidden agenda. I think he confused her room with his."

Mingshen disagreed with that mentally. Bai Yingtai himself confessed that he went to the event specifically to meet Meng Rin. If that intention was exposed, then the game was over. Nobody would be able to save him. It wouldn’t matter that entering Meng Rin’s room was a simple coincidence.

Bai Yingtai would be labeled as a culprit. Period.

Jia said, "But what about the violence against Hou Tengqi?"

"Of course Bai Yingtai is barred from approaching Hou Tengqi but there are a lot of variables here, you know? And Miss. Meng helped with that a lot."

Mingshen blinked. "How?"

"She tried to explain that it was a misunderstanding. Now would a woman really defend her own assaulter? Who would be that crazy?"

"That other friend was very passionately suggesting a threat," he rolled his eyes.

"And does the fiance of a man from the Politburo family really have to be afraid of a threat? They crush such ants all the time. The point is that nobody still knows what exactly happened in the room."

"My employee does."

"I don’t think that is a line the Hou family would want to explore really."

Mingshen sneered. "I understood his mother’s sentiment today very well."

Jia frowned at Mingshen. "Did Bai Yingtai say that Hou Tengqi was being violent?"

"His mother thinks she has a very innocent son."

"But Meng Rin..."

Mingshen understood her unsaid question and smiled. "How often have you seen women really coming out exposing their abusers? That too coming from a political family? That bubbly actress has no leverage against them. She was standing at the corner while his family huddled together in the hospital. How much they like her was so painfully evident."

Mulan chuckled. "So the judge was smart enough to join the dots that the clear picture isn’t out yet. So whether Bai Yingtai’s actions were deliberate or in Miss. Meng Rin’s defense is still debatable. I just told my part of the story and my perception of Bai Yingtai. Apparently, I am very convincing."

"You did all that without letting Bai Yingtai get summoned to the court?" Jia found it too unbelievable.

"As the future daughter-in-law of the Yang family, this much is the least I should be able to do."

Mingshen raised his brow. "And you know how much backlash you would have to face once the Hou family knows this? The mother was quite adamant about my employee’s dark future. You will become her enemy."

"I will disappoint Uncle Cheng very much if he feels that I am a scaredy cat which I am not~"

Jia raised her brow.

Uncle Cheng?

"Spicy, Spicy, are you feeling threatened by this woman’s bold moves? Worry not Spicy! My heart is only set for you even if I have to go against my Dad’s wishes!" Mingshen dramatically harrumphed.

"Stop your nonsense!" Jia glared at him.

Mulan looked at Mingshen with interest. "Wow, Dr. Yang chasing after a woman he cannot have? What has the world come to?"

Jia quickly said, "It’s nothing like that between. Unfortunately, he is my partner for cases. You are free to have him all you want."

Her eyes sparkled. "You are so cool. You have my respect."

Jia stared at the bail papers and released a sigh. "This is going to cause a big uproar."

Mingshen smiled. "Life is more fun when there is drama and yelling. So can I get my employee back?"

Mulan frowned. "Shouldn’t you be thanking me and also offering to take me out on a date as your gratitude?"

"I appreciate the help but I didn’t ask for it and besides, you had your own motives. It isn’t out of goodwill. So you don’t score a date with Yang Mingshen."

"Well, marriage between our families is only beneficial and I always grab the things that benefit me," she winked. "I will be waiting for your date invitation. Bye~"

She turned and zoomed away from everybody’s view. Jia was left in awe. "I think you finally found your wife."

"I already had ages ago. Isn’t she standing right in front of me in that sexy cop uniform~"

Jia gritted her teeth. "Xiyang."

"Y-Yes Mam!" Xiyang hastily stood straight in attention.

"Take these papers and close the formalities with Bai Yingtai’s release."

"Yes, Mam!"

Jia didn’t stay any longer to entertain Mingshen’s whims and left the bureau. Jia’s avoidance to talk about her depression was evident. Mingshen tapped his finger on the desk, staring at her leave.

You cannot escape for too long, Spicy.

A call that rang on his phone broke his daze. "Yes?"

It was Shilin on the other side who didn’t have a good news to give.

"Boss, Senior Lu and I searched all the nearby hospitals to that hotel but there didn’t come a single patient with an injury to his ankle like you gave to him."

"He cannot let it go untreated. It’s not an injury that will be fixed with an in-house doctor call. He must have had to go to a hospital."

"We checked it thrice. No such patient was admitted to any hospital."
