Gu Shaohua never expected Sheng Qianchi to return so soon. Instantly, it felt like a heavy stone was blocking her heart. She pressed her lips together and stayed silent.
Li Rui quickly stood up and greeted politely, "Young Master Chi."
Sheng Qianchi nodded slightly, his facial lines tight and more sculpted than ever.
A servant stepped forward to help him remove his trench coat, and he marched to the sofa, sitting beside Gu Jiayin. "Chief Li, Qin Mingxuan attempted to assault Jiayin, so when Jiayin injured him, was it considered self-defense?"
Li Rui replied, "If there is evidence proving so, it is naturally self-defense."
"Very good," Sheng Qianchi nodded. "If there is proof, is Qin Mingxuan guilty of a crime?"
Li Rui replied, "Certainly."
"What crime?"
"Attempted assault..."
"What is the penalty?"
"Imprisonment of more than one year and less than three years."
