Chapter 924 Wen Qingyi is arrested

"Yes." Old Master Wen hadn't expected them to come looking for Wen Qingyi: "May I ask, what crime has my daughter committed?"

"Ms. Wen is suspected of premeditated murder, intentional injury, and bigamy for interfering in someone else's marriage and infringing on the victim's marital property. The victim is demanding compensation of US$530 million. Therefore, we ask Ms. Wen to come back with us for investigation."

The head of the federal court recounted all of Wen Qingyi's crimes, leaving Old Master Wen almost stunned.

It took him a long time to recover. Old Master Wen fixed his gaze on his daughter and asked coldly, "Qingyi, is what he said true? Did you really do all these things?"

And they're also demanding $530 million in compensation?

How could he possibly come up with so much money?

"No, I didn't do it..." Wen Qingyi subconsciously denied it, shaking her head: "Dad, you have to believe me, these are all false accusations against me by Lu Nanchu! I didn't hurt her..."

If we're really talking about hurt, from beginning to end, she only ever hurt Sang Ruo.

When did she ever hurt Lu Nanchu? How come she didn't know anything about it?

In terms of harm, who can compare to the harm Lu Nanchu inflicted on her? Back then, Lu Nanchu wasn't even willing to spare her child!

The head of the federal court gave a wink to the police officers behind him.

Following his instructions, the police officers immediately took Wen Qingyi into custody, one on each side, without regard for whether Old Master Wen agreed or not. They simply took her away right in front of Old Master Wen!

"Let me go! I haven't committed a crime! This is a false accusation!"

Wen Qingyi tried to explain, but to no avail. Finally, she could only plead with Old Master Wen: "Dad, I beg you to save me, Dad..."

As the police led her away from the living room, Wen Qingyi's voice grew softer and softer until it could no longer be heard.

Even the butler was surprised: "Master, what exactly happened? Why was Miss taken away by court officials?"

Even though the father and daughter's relationship was not good, he knew that the master still cared about the young lady.

This incident surprised not only Old Master Wen, but even he himself.

"Intentional homicide, intentional assault, and bigamy..."

As he recounted her numerous crimes, Old Master Wen felt heavier than ever before: "With so many charges against her, even if I compensate her with 530 million, she might not be able to get out."

"Qingyi's crime this time is too serious and heavy. Even if she has money, she may not be able to protect herself."

If it were only one or two charges, bail could be considered, but with so many charges, the crimes are clearly too serious, so serious that money might not be enough to resolve them.

I wonder who this girl offended that they want to kill her?

The butler, who had watched her grow up, was extremely anxious: "What can we do? Are you really going to just stand by and watch Miss go to jail?"

"If I had known things would turn out this way, I wouldn't have listened to Bo Jinyan!" Old Master Wen couldn't help but feel regretful. "At least if I had kept her by my side, she wouldn't have ended up like this."

He was filled with remorse.

At first, he thought that Bo Jinyan was soft-hearted towards Wen Qingyi, which was why he didn't hold it against her and even gave her advice.

In retrospect, this was clearly a trap that had been prepared in advance!

He only realized it now.

However, it's too late to regret it now.

"Butler, please send someone to Manhattan immediately to find out what she's been doing during her work hours."

Grandpa Wen always felt that this matter was inextricably linked to Xu Chen: "And who is suing her? Let's see if we can resolve this matter amicably?"

The butler bowed his head and replied, "Yes, I'll check right away."

This is probably a really tough hurdle for the young lady.

Because he had never seen the master so melancholy before.

...

Weekend at the waterfront manor.

"Miss Lu, there is a Mr. Wen outside who requests to see you."

Mr. Wen?

Lu Nanchu could almost guess who it was, and said calmly, "Let him in."

"yes."

After saying that, the butler brought Old Master Wen in, poured him a cup of tea, and then left.

Only when Lu Nanchu and Old Master Wen were the only two people left in the reception area did Lu Nanchu speak calmly: "Old Master Wen, how have you been? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Wen found out about Wen Qingyi's arrest so quickly.

And so, this great show is about to begin.

“Ms. Lu, I am already aware of the stakes between my daughter and you.”

Old Master Wen's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but his attitude was very humble: "I know that her affair with Young Master Xu has caused you some harm, but there are some things I want to explain to you. Things may not be as you imagine."

After the housekeeper investigated everything that had happened since Wen Qingyi arrived in New York and told him about it, he finally understood why Lu Nanchu had sued her.

It's simply that Wen Qingyi's existence harms Lu Nanchu's interests.

However, Xu Chen brought Wen Qingyi to his side entirely at his behest!

If he had known things would turn out this way, how could he have placed Wen Qingyi by Xu Chen's side?

"An explanation?" Lu Nanchu raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Your daughter is up to no good, seducing my husband and infringing on our joint property. I can't even imagine it. What explanation do you have?"

Old Master Wen was so anxious that cold sweat beaded on his forehead: "It's like this, the reason Qingyi came to New York was at my behest. I wanted her to gain some experience, so I asked Second Young Master Xu to take care of her. I never expected that she would end up with Second Young Master Xu..."

He didn't say what he was going to say directly, but they both knew what he meant.

"You instructed them to do this? Did you not do any investigation before you asked my husband to take care of your daughter?"

Lu Nanchu was surprised that it really was his doing: "Your daughter was having an affair with my husband when she was in China. How many times have I warned her? Did she listen?"

"If I hadn't forcibly brought Xu Chen back to New York, do you think your daughter, with her personality, would have let go of this powerful connection?"

She had heard Xu Chen mention it before; it was at the behest of Wen Qingyi's father, Old Master Wen.

But she didn't believe it.

Now that Old Master Wen is standing in front of her in person and has personally admitted that it was at his behest, she has no choice but to believe it.

She even wondered if Grandpa Wen was getting senile.

Knowing that there was an ambiguous relationship between Wen Qingyi and Xu Chen, he still entrusted his daughter to Xu Chen with peace of mind.

Either he has ulterior motives, or Mr. Wen is truly foolish.

But how can you say that Mr. Wen was stupid to have been able to retire unscathed from the turbulent business world and live in seclusion for so many years?

Who would believe that?

She preferred to believe that the Wen family had ulterior motives towards Xu Chen.

Just like back then, the Xu family also had designs on the Lu family, so this is not impossible.
