Chapter 1558: Calculated to the Extreme, Only to Bring Misfortune Upon Oneself

Ji Yingjie would not tolerate any dissent from others.

It started as small conflicts, but gradually it became a major problem.

Before Shi Youxuan could even intervene, something happened!

During a routine Chamber of Commerce meeting, Ji Yingjie not only quarreled at the venue but also physically assaulted people; the matter truly blew up, and the victims refused to let it go, gathering quite a few people to impeach her.

Ji Yingjie had exhausted every means to become the chairwoman, so she certainly would not easily give up the position she had obtained to others; when those people impeached her, she used her own methods to drive those few small companies into bankruptcy.

Her conduct was too arrogant.

She didn't take these people seriously at all, and she acted without any scruples, blatantly causing several families to lose their entire fortunes.

The small companies joined forces, compiled records, and reported Ji Yingjie to the relevant departments.

The police brought people to the company to investigate, demanded that Ji Yingjie come with them, and presented their credentials!

But the moment the credentials were shown, they were snatched away and torn to shreds in a few swift motions.

The person who dared to snatch the police credentials was not Ji Yingjie, but Nianyin.

Nianyin had just arrived in the country and stepped off the plane; she hadn't even had time to drop her luggage off at home before coming to the company, and she happened to catch this scene!

Want to take her mother to the police station?

No way.

The police were stunned.

In over a decade of police work, this was the first time they had encountered such a thing; someone had reported the Chairman of "Eagle World" for being arrogant, and they had only intended to investigate, but as it turned out, there was no need to investigate—the evidence was ironclad!

It was only a matter of a few brief seconds.

The police recovered and were furious: "Do you understand that this is obstruction of justice? Move aside!"

Ji Yingjie commanded: "Nianyin, hit them! Teach them a lesson."

Police:...

They had seen many people throw tantrums, kneel and beg for mercy, or roll on the ground wailing to prevent being taken away, but this was the first time they had seen something like this.

Hitting the police?

Are they crazy?

Nianyin received her mother's order and struck instantly, knocking all of them to the ground in just two moves.

It wasn't that the police were useless, but that they hadn't expected the woman in front of them to be so bold as to actually hit the police!

This was assaulting an officer.

A very serious matter.

Assaulting an officer wasn't even the most important thing; the most important thing was that they had lost face.

The few of them recovered and fought back together.

They had been caught off guard before, but this time they were prepared, yet they still didn't win!

Nianyin didn't stop while she was ahead, nor did she soften her stance; she clamored for them to call for reinforcements, saying she would beat up as many as they sent!

Soon, the SWAT team arrived; over a dozen police cars pulled up, and hundreds of armed SWAT officers jumped out, surrounding the entire office building.

Additionally, snipers took up advantageous positions to prevent any sudden incidents.

Reporters were always people who loved a spectacle and feared no trouble; they also rushed over, broadcasting live and reporting in real-time.

Shi Youxuan only found out about this while watching television; the trouble was huge.

No matter how good Nianyin was at fighting, one person couldn't possibly defeat so many well-trained SWAT officers; she was subdued, handcuffed, and taken away.

As for the one taken away with her, Ji Yingjie certainly couldn't escape.

Although this person hadn't made a move, she had been clamoring on the sidelines the whole time, shouting for Nianyin to beat all the police away!

If not for her "encouragement," Nianyin wouldn't have acted like that; the two of them's performance was broadcast live, and they were simply the cream of the crop among eccentrics—it was just too bizarre.

The audience expressed their opinions one after another: nothing short of severe punishment would satisfy public anger!

Shi Youxuan couldn't sit by and do nothing; although she was furious, she had to handle it.

She rushed to the police station, attempting to bail out her aunt and Nianyin, but failed.

This matter had already blown up, and it was impossible to be bailed out before it was fully investigated!

Shi Youxuan could only return in disappointment and think of other ways.

Detention center.

Ji Yingjie and Nianyin were interrogated separately.

Ji Yingjie did not change her domineering ways and took all the blame upon herself: "Release Nianyin; count everything against me. It has nothing to do with her."

"She is my bodyguard, and her duty is to protect me; she knows nothing about other matters."

If not for this assault on the police, Nianyin might not have been involved, but after the assault, neither of them could escape.

The normal procedures still had to be followed.

When Nianyin was interrogated, she was just as stubborn.

Nianyin took all the blame upon herself: "Everything was done by me; it has nothing to do with my mother. Release my mother; I will admit to anything. I accept the fines and the prison sentence; you can kill me or carve me up as you please."

These two women, though clever, were too arrogant and knew nothing about the laws of Jiangzhou, nor did they want to know.

They only acted based on their own experience, which worked in other places, but did not work in Jiangzhou!

In other countries, paying more bail money would get them released.

But in Jiangzhou, that wouldn't work; the police didn't mention bail, but instead slapped the table and scolded: "You admit to everything, but can you really take the blame? If it's your business, it's your business; no one can take your place. If it's not your business, even if you want to admit to it, you can't!"

"Why can't I? It's just a matter of money; tell me, how much do you want?"

Police:...

The interrogation couldn't continue; Ji Yingjie and Nianyin's attitudes were too arrogant, so they could only investigate from other directions.

The final investigation results showed that the bullying and abuse of power were all done by Ji Yingjie, and it indeed had nothing to do with Nianyin.

Because she was abroad at that time, he did not have the conditions to do these things.

If it weren't for assaulting a police officer, Nianyin would have been released.

But since even the SWAT team was dispatched, she wouldn't be able to get out for a while, so the two of them would have each other for company in the detention center.

The conditions in the detention center were very poor.

A cell of less than ten square meters had to house more than ten people.

When the two were locked inside, there were already over a dozen people in there, casting unfriendly gazes in the cramped space.

"Clang!"

The cell door closed, and immediately a few women crowded around.

"What did you come in for?"

Nianyin shielded Ji Yingjie behind her and said coldly, "Fighting, assaulting a police officer!"

"Hiss—"

The air was filled with the sound of people gasping in shock.

Immediately after, someone questioned, "Assaulting a police officer? Is that for real?"

"Just bragging, who would have the guts to assault a police officer?"

Although there were many voices of doubt, the few women in front of them all stood up straight, and their gazes changed from their previous attempt at provocation to a bit more awe.

"Does anyone want to try?"

Nianyin scanned the room, and wherever her gaze landed, everyone couldn't help but shiver.

Whether someone is a tough character or not can be seen in their eyes.

No one dared to make a move easily.

These people suddenly changed their attitude, giving up the best spots in the cell to the two of them, and even took the initiative to help them massage their shoulders, flatter them, and ask about the process of assaulting the police.

"Get lost, get lost, get lost! Stop asking, damn it! I'm in a bad mood, all of you shut your mouths!"

Ji Yingjie was in a bad mood and scolded everyone to shut up.

So everyone shut up, but she didn't notice that in the corner, a few resentful gazes were sweeping over.

Three women gathered together.

A woman with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a face full of flab, and a fierce look, she was the big sister of this cell and had also come in for fighting.
