The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 276: Chapter 276 – A Terrifying Enemyi

Hai Xiaotang was bewildered, utterly unable to believe it, “How could the design be wrong?!”

There had never been any problems with the designs at Dongfang Yu’s company.

Moreover, this project was highly valued by the government. Dongfang Yu must have paid particular attention to it. So how could there be a mistake?

Yet, the police insisted that the design was the issue.

Meaning that the responsibility lay with Dongfang and the chief designer.

Now that Dongfang Yu was away and no one was there to share the burden with her, all the blame was falling on her…

“Miss Hai, the court will issue an indictment tomorrow. Please prepare yourself mentally when you go home today.”

Before leaving the police station, Hai Xiaotang was given this piece of devastating news!

Stepping out of the police station in a daze, Hai Xiaotang raised her head to look at the winter sky, feeling the chill, a coldness that made her shiver to her bones.

She still couldn’t accept that things had turned out this way.

Was someone framing her, or was she simply having terrible luck?

In fact, from her past experience with prison, she was not as fearful. However, she was still afraid…

Afraid that what awaited her was again, the dread of prison.

She had had enough of that icy prison.

Fortunately, despair had not yet set in. Hai Xiaotang had not done anything wrong, and she believed she would be fine!

When she got home, Hai Xiaotang calmly relayed everything to Hai Zhiyuan.

The old man was silent for a moment before saying, “Xiaotang, don’t be afraid. Grandpa won’t let anything happen to you!”

Hai Xiaotang smiled and said, “Grandpa, I’m not scared; I haven’t done anything wrong, so I am not afraid in my heart.”

“Hmm, well said!” Hai Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

But he didn’t tell Hai Xiaotang that in this world, one could still face repercussions despite being innocent.

This world was cruel. If someone was intent on destroying you, you would never have an easy life.

What he feared was that someone was conspiring against them in the shadows.

Maybe the person intended to frame Dongfang Yu and due to Hai Xiaotang’s special relationship with Dongfang Yu, she was implicated as well…

That day, Hai Xiaotang’s day was somewhat tormenting.

She kept dialing Dongfang Yu’s number, but nobody answered.

Dongfang Yu’s parents had also gone abroad, making them unreachable too.

Hai Xiaotang had no idea about Dongfang Yu’s situation.

She worried…that he was still in danger…

Moreover, she would receive the summons from the court tomorrow…

The next day, as expected, Hai Xiaotang received the indictment.

Hai Zhiyuan had already arranged a lawyer for her, but after the lawyer’s analysis, the situation did not look good for Hai Xiaotang.

Because the police had already clarified that the accident was not due to the materials, but the design.

It was Hai Xiaotang’s unreasonable exterior design that caused the house to have problems.

There were no errors in the parts designed by the other designers; only her part had issues.

Since she was the chief designer, and Dongfang Yu was not there to help her, the majority of the blame would fall on her.

What Hai Xiaotang couldn’t understand was, even if her exterior design was not reasonable enough, would it really lead to a house collapse?

The support structure of a building is internal!

Moreover, she had clearly seen at the time that it was the poor quality of the house that had caused the accident.

What was even more strange was that, after the police had checked the other houses, all were fine, only the collapsed one had problems!

Hai Xiaotang was shocked by a horrifying possibility.

Perhaps there was a terrifying enemy lurking in the dark!

His aim was to kill Dongfang Yu and meanwhile destroy the entire Dongfang company…
