Chapter 896
“Go on in.”
After the police officers brought Minghao Tian back to the room where he was being held, they turned around and walked toward the office.
However, not long after he left, his phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar landline number.
The police officer subconsciously wanted to hang up, but then he remembered the landline number Minghao had mentioned just now. He changed his mind and pressed the answer button.
“Hello?”
“Minghao Tian… wait, you are…?”
“You’re Ming Haotian’s family, right? This is District Insterimondxx police station…”
About ten minutes later, Ming Yiheng hung up.
His eyes were filled with astonishment.
Ming Haotian was… going to be prosecuted for attempted murder?
Just what had Minghao done?
Old Master Ming walked over and asked, “Who called just now? I heard the ringtone.”
Ming Yiheng did not hesitate at all. He repeated everything that the police officer had said on the phone, almost without missing a word.
Old Master Ming’s eyes instantly widened.
“Wh-what? Murder…attempted?”
He rolled his eyes and fell backward.
“Chairman Ming…”
Ming Yiheng was shocked. After supporting the unconscious Old Master Ming, he immediately shouted, ” Someone! Someone!”
After a while, Old Master Ming was carried back to his room.
Seeing that Old Master Ming had yet to wake up, the butler quickly said, “Quickly call Mr. Swanson!”
Ming Yiheng reminded from the side, “I’ll explain later. I know the reason.”
Meanwhile at the entrance of the Taylor’s old residence.
Melody Fox was about to get out of the car when he saw Ken Swanson’s expression change drastically after receiving a call.
After he hung up, Melody Fox quickly asked, “What happened?”
Ken Swanson told him about Janet Murphy and said, “The Mont family people are thin. Old Master Ming is the only one holding on. Since I’m at Insterimond, I have to go over and help so that Grandma won’t worry when she finds out.”
“Attempted murder? He killed… Jian Huan?”
“Yeah.”
Melody Fox was both relieved and speechless.
“It seems that Minghao Tian has seen through Jian Huan’s true colors. It’s just that the way he handled things is still not mature enough. If killing her could resolve everything… there wouldn’t be so many complicated grudges in the world.”
If killing people could solve everything, she would have long thought of a way to kill Ulric Swanson and the Fox family.
But even if she succeeded, she would not be able to escape punishment.
A smart person wouldn’t sacrifice himself for revenge.
Perishing together was a foolish choice.
“That guy’s temperament needs more training,” Ken Swanson said. “But if that’s the case, I can’t wait for you here anymore.”
Melody Fox shrugged. “Would I still care about that? Hurry up and go. Attempted murder… If it’s serious, you’ll be sentenced to three to five years in prison. If you’re really sentenced, the Mont family’s future will be ruined with him.”
“Yes, I know. Be careful too. Let Spencer go in with you.”
“Understood. I’m leaving.”
Melody Fox was about to get out of the car when he was pulled back by Ken Swanson.
Before she could react, Ken Swanson had already kissed her lightly on the lips.
“I’ll see you later.”
Melody Fox’s heart softened. “Yes…”
“Ding dong, ding dong.”
After watching Ken Swanson leave, Melody Fox pressed the doorbell of the Taylor residence.
A servant came out to open the door. When she saw her, fear flashed across her eyes.
The woman in front of her looked really unflattering. She was even shocked.
She did not hide her disdain for Melody Fox. She frowned and asked, “Who are you looking for?”
Melody Fox pretended not to notice the change in the other party’s expression and replied, “My surname is Fox. I’m Ruby’s friend. I made an appointment with her to come and find her.”
“Second Young Mistress Huo?”
The servant hesitated for a moment before saying, “Wait a moment. I’ll go and ask.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a small car stopped at the entrance of the Taylor family residence.
An old man in a fake Daoist robe got out of the car.
The old man said, “I’m here to treat your family.”
The servant’s eyes lit up.
“So it’s you! Please come in! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
The old man, on the other hand, put on a good front.
“I’m very busy. It’s only right that you wait for me.”
The servant did not dare to refute and only apologized profusely. “I’m sorry, I said something wrong. Please come in.”
Only then did the old man boldly walk in.
When he passed by Melody Fox, his eyes were filled with disdain.
Melody Fox looked at the other party meaningfully before pulling the servant back.
“Please help me notify them.”
At this moment, the servant could not be bothered with Melody Fox anymore. She said directly, “Come in too.” “Thanks a lot.”
However, Melody Fox’s politeness was taken by the servants as the capital to look down on her.
“Don’t look around after you enter. Wait outside the living room first. Don’t touch anything in the house.”
Melody Fox frowned. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.
She was just a snobbish servant. There was no need to waste her emotions on her.
After the servant instructed Melody Fox, she almost bowed and invited the old man in.
After crossing a cobblestone road, the three of them finally arrived at the entrance of the villa.
“You stay here. I’ll go and ask Madam.”
As the servant spoke, she once again made a respectful ” please” gesture to the fake Daoist priest. “Be careful of the steps. This way.”
Monk lifted his chin slightly, wishing he could look down on him.
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped the servant.
“Doesn’t he need to ask your wife for permission to enter?”
The servant glared at her and said, “This gentleman is our family’s esteemed guest. Of course, he doesn’t need to ask for instructions.”
Melody Fox could not be bothered to talk nonsense with the servant. He said directly, “He’s not a distinguished guest. He’s just a charlatan and a liar. Don’t be fooled by him.”
“You…”
Before the servant could speak, the fake Daoist priest scolded in a low voice, “Bastard! Who allowed you to speak to me like this?”
“Master? What kind of master are you? I know a little about the fake Daoist profession. May I ask which faction you belong to?”
The fake Daoist was stunned. He forced himself to be calm and said, “Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me which faction I’m from?”
“You…”
“Shut up!” The servant said angrily. “I was kind enough to let you in first. How dare you talk nonsense? You can’t bear the responsibility for offending our esteemed guest, not even Second Young Mistress Huo! If you dare to talk nonsense again, get out!”
Melody Fox said indifferently, “Very good. Remember what you said. If anything happens, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance.”
The fake Daoist priest was already feeling guilty. When he saw that Melody Fox did not come with good intentions, he hurriedly instructed the servant, “I don’t want to see this person. Hurry up and chase her out. Otherwise, I won’t be able to treat your master’s illness!”
“No, no, no… Master, please calm down! It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought this person in. I’ll chase her out now!”
