Chapter 50

Currently dealing with the hotpot restaurant incident, Shen Nian is one of the involved parties, hence her presence here. Liang Jinghe...

Shen Nian withdrew the surprise in her eyes, politely nodded at Liang Jinghe, and asked, "Miss Liang."

Then she inquired, "Why are you here, Miss Liang?"

Liang Jinghe smiled in response, "I co-own the hotpot restaurant with a friend. Since there was an incident, and my friend is away on a business trip, I came to understand the situation."

After explaining, Liang Jinghe looked at Shen Nian, expressing concern, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Shen Nian shook her head, not showing any closeness to Liang Jinghe, "Thanks for your concern, Miss Liang."

Having met Shen Nian a few times, Liang Jinghe noticed Shen Nian's reserved nature. She was a diligent assistant in Ling Chuan's presence, always maintaining a strict and serious demeanor. In front of others, she appeared distant, giving off a cool and indifferent vibe.

Thinking of something, Liang Jinghe asked again, "I heard a bit about the situation. Those people even tried to attack with bottles."

As she finished speaking, the office door next door opened, revealing her supportive older brother and sister-in-law, Jiang Lingling.

"Sister Nian." Jiang Lingling walked over, noticing Liang Jinghe, looking surprised.

"Miss Liang?"

Then she turned to Shen Nian, silently asking, "How come Miss Liang is here?"

"Miss Liang is the co-owner of the hotpot restaurant. She came to handle the situation," Shen Nian explained, then turned to Liang Jinghe, saying, "If there's nothing else, Miss Liang, we'll leave."Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"Oh, okay."

Leaving the police station with her older brother and sister-in-law, Shen Nian thanked them.

Despite her older brother being a muscular and shy guy, upon hearing the girl's gratitude, he awkwardly blushed and just smiled.

His wife, unimpressed, remarked, "He's like this. Can't stand seeing someone bullied, rushes forward without thinking."

"I may not care about other things, but when it comes to humiliating and using foul language against girls, I step in every time I see it."

#SouthStreetHotPotRestaurantAssault# was trending at the top.

No good deed goes unpunished. In this era of advanced networking, news travels fast. What just happened could easily be broadcasted online, reaching far and wide.

Liang Jinghe scrolled through the top videos, all capturing different angles of the altercation, filmed by bystanders.

The faces of the main aggressor and a few accomplices were visible in the videos. Fortunately, Shen Nian and Jiang Lingling were positioned in a way that their faces were mostly obscured.

There were explanations from those who posted the videos as well.

The man, reeking of alcohol, tried to hit on a pretty lady, insisting she drink with him. When she refused, he became belligerent, hurling insults and assuming she was involved in certain professions due to her beauty. The gentleman nearby intervened, and the man, enraged, attacked him and was promptly subdued.

The truth was more or less as described, thankfully not twisted or fabricated.

Many comments condemned the man's repulsive and disrespectful behavior towards women, likening him to a toad lusting after a swan's flesh.

Of course, there were absurd comments from misguided individuals, suggesting that a normal girl wouldn't go out for dinner so late and dressed like that unless she was intentionally enticing...

Such comments were promptly shut down with a barrage of criticism.

Scanning through the comments, Liang Jinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

Encountering situations like these, many netizens tend to blame the victim rather than the wrongdoer, criticizing their attire, timing of going out, and other factors. Fortunately, the online atmosphere has improved somewhat, and with Shen Nian and Jiang Lingling not revealing their faces, their protection is maximized.

"Buzz—"

As she continued scrolling through videos, the other phone in her pocket rang, displaying a call from Lu Lingchuan. She immediately answered, apologizing, "Sorry, sorry, I just finished dealing with some issues at the hotpot restaurant my friend and I run."

She had just been discussing work with Lu Lingchuan on the phone and had received an urgent notice to come over.

"Mm." Lu Lingchuan didn't seem particularly interested in anything.

Just as they were about to continue discussing work, Liang Jinghe's voice came through on the other end, puzzled, "Is this handsome guy Shen Nian's boyfriend?"

Liang Jinghe happened to come across the video of the guy smashing a bottle at Shen Nian, with Xiao Mubai shielding her.

At these words, Lu Lingchuan responded, "..."
