Chapter 1175 Hitting into His Arms
In the police station's mediation room, Huo Yanchen stood with his arms crossed and legs crossed, his cold gaze looking down at the people in front of him with disdain.
He sat there motionless, and the air pressure around him seemed to drop several degrees.
But no one dared to breathe loudly, especially the police chief who was mediating, who was sweating profusely.
After all, with such a powerful figure sitting here, he's really not easy to deal with.
When the chief heard from his subordinates that Huo Yanchen had been arrested and brought to the police station, he almost dropped his bowl while eating. He thought Huo Yanchen had finally been arrested for murder, but it turned out it was just because of such a trivial matter.
This is such a small matter; couldn't it have been resolved with a simple mediation on the street? How did it end up at the police station?
The bureau chief glanced again at the boy with a bruised and swollen face. Clearly, he was the one who had been beaten, and he was still making a scene.
The bureau chief cleared his throat: "Ahem, actually, this is just a very, very small matter. There shouldn't be any grudges between the two of you. I think it would be better if you both took a step back and made up, how about that?"
Huo Yanchen said, "You came to the Huo Group to cause trouble and even attacked me. Are you just going to let it go like this?"
Since Liang Chen is willing to come to the police station, then let him come. This wasn't Huo Yanchen's idea to come.
When the police arrived, Huo Yanchen was planning to leave and not pursue the matter, but Liang Chen insisted on coming to the police station.
Now that we're here, it won't be so easy for us to leave.
Liang Chen also said, "I didn't cause any trouble. The watch in his hand is mine. You can ask him to give it back to me. I'm willing to do anything as long as he gives it back to me, even just apologize."
Huo Yanchen said, "I bought this watch, and I've shown you the invoice. You can also call the brand store to ask me anything. This watch is mine, so why should I give it to him?"
Huo Yanchen's tone was not as urgent as Liang Chen's. His unhurried description gave people a sense of inner tension and pressure.
The bureau chief wiped away his cold sweat, knowing that Huo Yanchen was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he could only look at Liang Chen: "It's just a watch, it's not a big deal, and that store should have the same model or something similar, right? Why fight over a watch, right? It's not a good look to make a scene like this. Young man, young people shouldn't be so impulsive. How about this, you apologize to Mr. Huo, and that'll be the end of it, okay?"
"Didn't you understand that I said I wanted that watch? I just want that one. And besides, Huo Yanchen beat me up like this, so why should I apologize?" Liang Chen was still as fierce as ever.
The bureau chief didn't know what to say, so he looked at Huo Yanchen and said, "Mr. Huo, I know you like this watch, but why don't you consider giving it to this young gentleman since he likes it so much too?"
Huo Yanchen only had two words: "No."
Liang Chen was truly furious; it was clearly his, yet Huo Yanchen had been hogging it.
No matter what, he had to get that watch back today, or he wouldn't leave, and Huo Yanchen wouldn't be able to leave either.
They'll just stay there and see who can outlast the other.
Huo Yanchen said, "I didn't do anything wrong. It's this guy who's been holding onto my watch. You'd better give him some psychological counseling. This is none of my business, so I'll be leaving now."
With that, Huo Yanchen stood up, preparing to leave.
But Liang Chen wouldn't allow it; he lunged forward to stop Huo Yanchen and tried to snatch the watch.
"This is my watch, give it to me, you're not allowed to leave!"
With the two of them like this, the police didn't dare to pull them apart for a moment.
Liang Chen was no match for Huo Yanchen to begin with, and with a push from Huo Yanchen, Liang Chen crashed into the table over there.
Just then, another police officer brought Jiang Manman in and witnessed this scene.
"Liang Chen!" Jiang Manman called out, because she had just seen Liang Chen crash into something.
"Manman!" Liang Chen was overjoyed to see Jiang Manman, his eyes filled with excitement and joy.
Jiang Manman helped Liang Chen up and then said, "What's wrong with you? You've learned to fight in just half a day, haven't you? Let me tell you, your parents are on their way!"
When Jiang Manman left, she called Liang's parents and told them they would arrive soon.
Was this done by Huo Yanchen? He was too ruthless.
But Jiang Manman didn't dare to look at Huo Yanchen. Huo Yanchen was just standing there, and her mind went blank. She felt like she wasn't herself anymore.
It's like when Huo Yanchen is around, she can't be natural; her hands and feet are stiff, and she doesn't dare to move at all.
The only thing I can do is ignore him, try to look natural.
Liang Chen said, "No, he and I have some disagreements, but we can resolve them ourselves. Manman, did you come to see me? I'm really happy you could come."
"I..." Jiang Manman took a breath, but ultimately didn't have the courage to look at Huo Yanchen next to her.
Liang Chen reached out and hugged Jiang Manman, looking at her with affection.
"Manman, I knew you were worried about me. You're so kind!"
Jiang Manman was surprised when Liang Chen suddenly hugged her. As if in a stress reaction, she instinctively pushed Liang Chen away and took two steps back.
Jiang Manman forgot that there were people behind her, and when she stepped back, she bumped directly into a hard embrace.
The man raised his hand to protect her waist, and his deep voice whispered in Jiang Manman's ear: "Be careful."
At that moment, Jiang Manman almost stopped breathing.
The familiar sounds, the familiar smells, everything familiar ignited all her senses.
I had been deliberately avoiding looking at him since I walked in, but now I had bumped into his arms.
Jiang Manman's body stiffened instantly, and she no longer felt like herself.
Huo Yanchen didn't expect Jiang Manman to suddenly bump into him, so he could only instinctively protect her. The small person bumped into his chest, and Jiang Manman's unique fragrance invaded Huo Yanchen's breath. His rationality and restraint during this period almost went down the drain.
At that moment, neither Jiang Manman nor Huo Yanchen moved.
Both of them had such strange expressions.
Jiang Manman looked at the hand that was holding her. The watch on that wrist looked so familiar. Wasn't this the one that she and Liang Chen had picked out today?
Just as Jiang Manman was about to get a better look, Liang Chen reacted and pulled her out of Huo Yanchen's arms: "Manman, are you alright?"
Then Liang Chen glared angrily at Huo Yanchen: "Huo Yanchen, what do you want to do? Don't touch Manman!"
Jiang Manman looked at Huo Yanchen's hand; on his wrist was indeed that watch.
Jiang Manman couldn't help but ask, "Your watch..."
She didn't know why Huo Yanchen and Liang Chen were fighting, so she didn't know about this watch.
She was still a little surprised when she saw it.
Huo Yanchen had already placed his hands behind his back, blocking the watch, and spoke in a calm tone, concealing the turmoil in his heart.
"I just bought it randomly."
