Chapter 108 Rescuing Lin Shuangyu

The policeman tapped on the table, signaling her to sit down and talk.

"Whether it was out of your own volition or at the instigation of others, you were the one who directly used violence."

Lin Shuangyu's vision went black, and he slumped back into his chair.

The police officer's words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling Lin Shuangyu to the bone.

She slumped in the chair, her eyes unfocused, her mind filled with only the word "it's all over".

If Song Yan doesn't care about her, and the Lin family is in dire straits, is she really going to wait in this police station to be sentenced?

no.

She only went a little too far when she was young, why should her life be ruined?

Si Yuan has already hit her, isn't that enough?

Lin Shuangyu suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up instantly.

That recording!

Song Yan wasn't afraid, but Yu Qingfang was different!

That woman values ​​the Song family's reputation most and cherishes her son the most; she would never allow the recording to leak out!

Lin Shuangyu suddenly looked up, his voice filled with the urgency of someone who had just escaped death: "I need to make a phone call! I have something important to do and must contact my family!"

The police officer glanced at her, took out his phone and handed it to her, then stood guard beside her the whole time.

——

The atmosphere in the Song family's living room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Yu Qingfang put her chopsticks down on the table, her tone tinged with complaint: "How many days has it been? Ayan has been locking himself in his room every day, not eating a single bite. If this continues, his health will collapse!"

Song Guotao rubbed his temples, his face haggard: "Don't even mention Song Yan, I can hardly eat anymore either. The group's stock market is already turbulent because of the Lin family's affair. If something else goes wrong, our Song family will be finished!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yu Qingfang's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID—an unknown number—but answered it almost involuntarily.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Auntie, it's me, Shuangyu."

When Lin Shuangyu's voice came through, Yu Qingfang's expression changed instantly, and she raised her hand to hang up the phone.

"Don't hang up! Auntie, please!" Lin Shuangyu's voice was trembling with tears, urgent and panicked. "I have something very important to tell you, about Song Yan!"

Yu Qingfang paused, her hand still on the phone.

Anything that involves Song Yan will set off alarm bells for her.

She glanced at Song Guotao, got up, and quickly walked into the bedroom. Closing the door, she lowered her voice and said, "Lin Shuangyu, why are you calling? The Song family has nothing to do with you anymore. What exactly do you want?"

"Auntie, I know you don't want to see me right now, but I'm not lying to you. This concerns Song Yan and the Song family's reputation!"

"You've already almost ruined the Song family's reputation by deceiving our entire family!"

Seeing that Yu Qingfang didn't believe her, and with the police reminding her to hurry, Lin Shuangyu decided not to beat around the bush any longer.

So, she took a deep breath and dropped a bombshell: "Song Yan... he likes Si Yuan!"

Yu Qingfang's face froze instantly, and then she was horrified.

"What did you say?!"

Her voice instantly rose, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Lin Shuangyu, are you crazy? You're spouting nonsense! How could Ayan possibly like Siyuan? She's his sister!"

"I'm not lying!" Lin Shuangyu hurriedly defended himself, his tone firm. "I have a recording! The recording clearly shows Song Yan saying he likes Si Yuan. If you don't believe me, you can go ask him!"

The bedroom fell silent instantly.

Yu Qingfang's hand holding the phone began to tremble, her mind a jumbled mess.

No wonder Song Yan has been so absent-minded lately, no wonder he's been so concerned about Si Yuan's affairs...

She suddenly remembered Si Yuan's years in the Song family and the special care Song Yan had given Si Yuan, and a chill ran up her spine.

"Why...why are you calling me?"

Yu Qingfang's voice turned cold; she knew Lin Shuangyu would never say these things for no reason.

Lin Shuangyu sensed a softening in her tone and was overjoyed. He quickly said, "Auntie, I'm at the police station right now. Si Yuan brought up old grievances from back then, and the police want to convict me! If you get me out of here, I promise I will never release the recording, I will never let anyone know about Song Yan, and I will never let the Song family's reputation be damaged!"

She gripped the phone, her knuckles white, her voice pleading: "Auntie, I only have one request, just save me, I'll do anything you say!"

Yu Qingfang leaned against the door, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

On one side is Lin Shuangyu, who threatens the Song family's reputation, and on the other side is a recording that could ruin her son. She has no idea what to do.

But when she thought of Song Yan and the future of the Song family, she gritted her teeth—no matter what, she couldn't let the recording get out!

——

In the corridor of the police station, Yu Qingfang walked briskly in high heels.

Her expensive custom cashmere suit gave her a powerful aura, but the anxiety between her brows was undeniable.

After all, she had kept this a secret from everyone.

Even Si Yuan didn't know.

The lawyer following behind her carried a briefcase and looked serious; he was clearly a seasoned and experienced lawyer.

As soon as she reached the door of the reception room, Yu Qingfang stopped, straightened her collar, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open to go inside.

When Lin Shuangyu saw her, her eyes instantly turned red, as if she had seen a savior. But before she could get up, she was stopped by Yu Qingfang's cold gaze.

"Officer, I am Si Yuan's adoptive mother, Yu Qingfang."

Yu Qingfang pushed a document in front of the police officer, her voice steady yet with an undeniable confidence, "This is my adoption certificate with Si Yuan. Now, on behalf of the victim, I submit this letter of repentance and clearly state that we will no longer pursue Lin Shuangyu's legal responsibility."

The police officer picked up the adoption certificate, looked at it, and then flipped through the letter of repentance. He frowned and said, "Ms. Yu, according to the evidence we have, the personal injury that Lin Shuangyu caused to Si Yuan is not minor. Moreover, we need to confirm in person whether Si Yuan really agrees not to pursue the matter."

"The opinion of the parties involved is my opinion."

Yu Qingfang interrupted the police officer, her tone somewhat forceful, "I am her adoptive mother, and we have a legally recognized mother-daughter relationship. Isn't that enough to represent her?"

Yu Qingfang said coldly, "My daughter is young and doesn't know any better. She made a big fuss because of a moment of impulsiveness. Now she has figured it out and doesn't want to dwell on the past anymore."

The lawyer standing nearby immediately chimed in, taking out prepared materials from his briefcase: "Officer, look, this is a power of attorney signed by Si Yuan herself, clearly authorizing Ms. Yu to handle this dispute; in addition, Lin Shuangyu's family has already compensated Si Yuan for all losses, and the two parties have reached a settlement. According to relevant laws, this situation can be dropped."

The lawyer, with his silver tongue, clearly and logically listed the legal provisions and presented a series of "evidence" such as compensation transfer records and power of attorney, leaving the police speechless.

Looking at the complete set of documents in front of him, and then at Yu Qingfang's resolute attitude, the police officer could only sigh helplessly: "Alright, since the two parties have reached a settlement, Lin Shuangyu can leave for now."

Another police officer reminded, "But if the person involved has any objections later, they can still file a new report."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuangyu finally felt relieved.

She never expected that Yu Qingfang would be able to get her out so quickly.

The moment she stepped out of the detention cell, she could no longer hold back. She rushed to Yu Qingfang, hugged her tightly, and said in a tearful voice, "Auntie, thank you. I thought... I thought no one would care about me anymore."

Yu Qingfang suddenly pushed her away, her eyes as cold as ice, devoid of any of her former gentleness: "Don't try that on me."

She stared at Lin Shuangyu, her tone carrying an undeniable pressure, "Where's the recording? Can you take it out now?"

Lin Shuangyu's smile froze slightly. She clenched her fists, her eyes flickered, and then she put on a wronged expression: "Auntie, the recording is on my phone, but... but I don't have my phone with me right now. My dad has locked me up at home. How about we go out first, and once I get my phone, I'll delete the recording immediately and make sure there's no trace of it?"

Yu Qingfang clearly didn't believe her, and snorted coldly, her eyes fixed on the mute old woman: "Lin Shuangyu, don't try to play tricks on me. I'm warning you, if you dare to play any tricks, or keep a backup of the recording, the consequences will be more than you can bear."

He used to be gentle with her because she was his future daughter-in-law.

But now, Yu Qingfang has truly witnessed Lin Shuangyu's methods.

Therefore, I will no longer have any dealings with her.

If it weren't for Song Yan, she wouldn't care about her.

She glanced at her watch, her tone impatient, "Bring me the recording and delete it within three days. Don't keep me waiting too long, understand?"

Lin Shuangyu was quite surprised to see Yu Qingfang's cold gaze.

She knew she couldn't delay any longer, so she gritted her teeth, smiled, and nodded.

What I didn't expect was that Yu Qingfang could be quite terrifying when she turned her back on me; she was such a convincing actress when we were like mother and daughter before.

The recording was her only bargaining chip, and she couldn't just delete it so easily. Since Yu Qingfang had saved her once, she could definitely save her a second time.

As long as the recording exists, she still has a chance to turn things around.
