Elena peeled off the mask and threw it into the trash can. She was no longer in the mood for beauty treatments and quickly walked back to her room.
"What's going on? Why was she taken away by the police? She didn't do anything wrong!"
The special assistant told her everything that happened on the Internet.
At the end, she said, "…she said if we can't get her out, she will expose our HL to the reporters who are interviewing us."
"This idiot!" Elena gritted her teeth, veins bulged on her forehead, and her eyelids twitched, showing how furious she was at Si Xue's threat.
HL Media is her biggest trump card nowadays.
Once HL Media is affected, Elena herself will also be seriously damaged.
She has already lost the two major supports of her family and Mudi, and is now being targeted by the old fox Mu Qingtian. Elena has no way out!
"Miss." The special assistant on the other end of the phone called her cautiously.
Elena held down her eyelids that were throbbing wildly, her face looked extremely bad, and she suppressed her anger and said, “Go contact a lawyer, go to the police station to pick him up first, and see if you can get him out on bail.”
"OK."
The special assistant knew that this was a last resort, and if they had any other options, they would not want a lawyer to bail out the person.
Si Xue's family and company should also take the same action.
The police station must be very busy tonight.
Ever since Elena learned the news, she felt like someone was strangling her, and she felt uncomfortable all over her body.
She hung up the phone with her special assistant. She was not in the mood to do any more beauty treatments. She asked the driver to wait for her outside in the middle of the night because she was going out.
Half an hour later.
The black Mercedes drove to the street lined with sycamore trees again and drove into the innermost part.
It's almost eight o'clock in the evening.
Elena stood at the door waiting for the guard to pass on the message, knowing that her behavior of coming to the door so late at night was not only impolite but also indecent.
She had no better choice but to wait outside.
The lights came on inside.
After a while, she waited for the old housekeeper to arrive.
They had just met in the morning, and Elena tried to maintain etiquette when she saw the other party coming out: “Hello, I’m here to see Grandpa Ye.”
The old housekeeper didn't let her in this time. He bowed to her, very politely, but didn't make way for her. He said, "Miss Aina, I'm sorry. Mr. Ye has gone to bed. Can we talk about it another day?"
Elena didn't expect the other party to not let her in. She frowned, and her eyes and eyebrows revealed an uncontrollable impatience: "I have something important to talk to Grandpa Ye about."
The old butler replied calmly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye has gone to bed. He usually doesn't see guests after he's gone to bed."
Elena's eyebrows jumped, and she looked directly at the person blocking the door: "...You don't even see me?"
The old butler looked at his eyes and nose, without even a wrinkle on his eyelids, and said the same thing: "It's too late today, Mr. Ye is going to rest. Miss Aina, please come another day!"
Elena: “…”
It was the first time she was rejected. She looked extremely unhappy and clenched her fists and almost walked away.
She used her strong self-control to suppress the impulse, and forced herself to stay where she was, controlling the frequency of her cheek twitching. She said with a suppressed voice, "Okay, I'll come and bother Grandpa Ye another day. But I really have something to ask Grandpa Ye, so please help me convey it."
This time the old housekeeper looked at her silently and did not say no.
Elena held back her temper and told the story of Si Xue being taken away by the police. Finally, she raised her face and lowered her voice and said, "Grandpa Ye knows that the Si family is indebted to Aunt Lan. Now that things have come to this, only Grandpa Ye can come forward to stop it and speak for Si Xue." (End of this chapter)
