Chapter 462: Seeking Help

“It was from my third older sister. Her son got arrested, and she asked me to go help him out.”

“Your third older sister?”

It took Xia Xibei a moment to make sense of it.

Qiao Yanjue had two older brothers and an older sister, all of whom were about ten to twenty years older than him.

“How old is her son?”

“Twenty-two.”

“So he’s only two years younger than you?”

“Yup,” Qiao Yanjue nodded.

Despite being about the same age, Qiao Yanjue was his elder in the family.

“I’ll go take a look.”

“You wanna help him?”

Weren’t they on bad terms?

“I’m only gonna go take a look,” Qiao Yanjue’s lips curled into a smile, “If he did it for real, why should I help him?”

If it were just a fight, he might lend him a hand considering that he was a relative.

If it was something like this, however, it would be the last thing he would want to waste his time on.

Besides, he didn’t think Ke Zhikun was innocent.

Being about the same age, he and his nephews had grown up together.

Nevertheless, Qiao Yanjue had never opened himself up to them, and vice versa.

On the contrary, they didn’t quite get along.

Despite being his family members, the things that they did to him sometimes were even worse than the actions of strangers.

Qiao Yanjue was in fact sneering inwardly when Qiao Zhiqing pleaded for his help.

She must have swooned from living in a wealthy family for so many years. Did she really think that she could just go around giving commands to everyone?

Qiao Yanjue wouldn’t consider himself an unforgiving person, but that didn’t mean he was that big-hearted.

Did Qiao Zhiqing think he had amnesia? That he had forgotten his childhood?

Alright, putting his childhood circumstances aside, what about the assault he had suffered?

There was no way she didn’t know about what Qiao Yuewei and the others had done to him.

“Want me to go with you?” Xia Xibei asked in concern. Qiao Yanjue wasn’t looking quite well.

Qiao Yanjue wanted to decline at first, but then he thought again and nodded, “Sure.”

Thus, the two of them went to the police station with his lawyer.

Xia Xibei only knew that she had something to do with his arrest after hearing Brother Hao and Ke Zhikun’s furious growl upon arriving at the police station!

She blew the whistle on Brother Hao, who then exposed Ke Zhikun to the cops.

It was dramatic how the incident unfolded.

Zheng Xiaowen was terrified after getting exposed by Brother Hao.

No one in her family was able to help her out of it, thus she had no choice but to seek help from others.

She started off by seeking help from Yu Ziqi.

Even though she was estranged from Yu Ziqi now, she was quite certain that Yu Ziqi would give her a hand when she got into trouble!

Much to her shock however, Yu Ziqi hung up the call right after knowing it was her. He didn’t even talk to her.

She cursed Yu Ziqi for being cruel in her heart, but she had no idea how genuinely terrified Yu Ziqi was after watching the video that Xia Xibei had shot. He didn’t know she could be that vicious.

He wasn’t an idiot. There was no way he would risk his safety to mingle with her from now on.

With her back against the wall, Zheng Xiaowen had no choice but to seek help from Ke Zhikun.

Ke Zhikun was one of the KTV owners, one who had expressed his interest in Zheng Xiaowen before, but Zheng Xiaowen could only reject him as she had been with Brother Hao at that time.

However, she turned to Ke Zhikun for help, as she was at the brink of despair at this time.

Ke Zhikun had come to visit Brother Hao this time by using Zheng Xiaowen as a pretext. After all, they ran some secret underhand dealings together, so he was afraid that Brother Hao might blurt out things that he shouldn’t.

Unexpectedly, Brother Hao misunderstood things and thought he was one of the conspirators.

He had some private collaborations with Ke Zhikun. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been allowed to roam the KTV freely.

Previously, however, Ke Zhikun wanted to quit. Brother Hao was reluctant to let him go, so it gave rise to some tension between them.

Now that Brother Hao was arrested, there was no way Ke Zhikun could steer clear of it!
