Meng Sheng and Shang Bo Yu have been in love for three years and married for three years. They were inseparable, and he loved her dearly, treating her with warmth and gentleness.
Until one da...
When one of the policemen was about to handcuff Meng Sheng, the tears in her eyes burst out.
This sudden incident made her face even paler.
The whole person was like a poplar tree in a storm, swaying and about to fall.
She looked at Shang Boyu in horror and panic, shook her head, and couldn't say anything.
Shang Boyu's heart felt like it was pierced by countless needles and bleeding profusely. He held Meng Sheng's hand with one hand and held down the hand of the policeman who was about to handcuff Meng Sheng with the other hand.
With a storm in his gloomy eyes, he looked at the leading police officer and asked in a deep voice, "Since you haven't found out whether she is involved in prostitution, isn't it too early to handcuff her? Is it against the rules?
I can cooperate with you, but please don't treat her as a criminal before the results come out! If the final result shows that she really has nothing to do with me, I will definitely settle the psychological damage you have caused her with you police officers!"
The policeman glanced at Meng Sheng, who seemed to have lost his soul.
He said, "Mr. Shang, I understand how you feel, and I know Meng Sheng is in a special situation right now, but we are just enforcing the law impartially, and I hope you can understand. Don't use the handcuffs."
He said the last sentence to the policeman holding the handcuffs.
Shang Boyu turned around and hugged Meng Sheng, whispering to comfort him, "It's okay, Shengsheng, I will be with you, don't be afraid."
Meng Sheng nodded while crying, her trembling shoulders slowly calmed down, and she followed Shang Boyu into the same police car.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the police station. The police wanted to separate them, and Shang Boyu hugged her.
He hastily comforted her, "Shengsheng, don't be afraid. Nothing will happen. I'm here. Just tell the police the truth. Trust me."
Meng Sheng nodded with tears in his eyes, "Yes, I believe you."
She was taken to the interrogation room by the police, and was questioned by a female police officer and the male police officer who had just gone to her home to summon her to the police station.
At this time she no longer cried, and her hesitant and empty eyes regained their clarity.
The police naturally noticed her very different attitude.
He asked, "You are the whistleblower of the Yueqifang prostitution case. Why did you act in front of Shang Boyu just now?"
Meng Sheng's voice was still light, "The founder of Yueqifang is his mother. I can't let him find out. I can only act."
"When did you find out?"
"Two months ago."
"How did you find out?"
“…”
The police questioned her for a full half hour, and she couldn't talk about the text messages, so she could only bring up the reason she used to fool her uncle.
Even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn't find anything.
The door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open, and a young man in plain clothes said, "Captain Chen, Lawyer Pei is here. He said he is here as Meng Sheng's attorney to submit evidence in the Yueqifang prostitution case."
As soon as the words fell, a tall figure in a suit and tie appeared in their sight.
The man's eyes, as deep as obsidian, fell accurately on Meng Sheng's pale, bloodless and thin face, and then met her red and swollen almond eyes.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In an instant, his brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his handsome features became gloomy.
It's only been eight days since I last saw her, and yet she looks so haggard and emaciated.
Captain Chen asked in surprise, "Lawyer Pei, are you her attorney?"
Pei Sui slowly shifted his gaze away from her and looked at Captain Chen, nodding calmly, "Can I have a word with you?"
Captain Chen nodded and turned around to wink at the policewoman.
The policewoman understood, and after they left, she poured Meng Sheng a glass of warm water and said with a smile, "Miss Meng, please sit here for a while."
Meng Sheng took the water, said "thank you", and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face.
Before getting in the car today, she looked at her reflection in the car window.
Perhaps it was because of that face, in this situation, her sickly pale appearance and those seemingly dull eyes did not look that ugly.
But it’s not really that good looking.
She lowered her hands and took a sip of water to moisten her slightly dry throat.
This time the waiting time was a bit long, almost an hour. Meng Sheng just sat there without moving at all. The policewoman poured her a second glass of water, but she didn't drink it.
When the electronic clock on the wall of the interrogation room showed nine minutes past eleven, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open again.
The people who came in were the young police officer called Captain Chen and Pei Sui.
Pei Sui walked towards her first, opened the floor in front of her, and grabbed her arm with his slender, bony fingers.
Pull her up from the chair.
Meng Sheng looked at him in shock and astonishment, then stood up with the strength in his hands.
He opened his mouth, but didn't have time to speak.
Captain Chen stepped forward and asked, "Ms. Meng, among the evidence submitted by Lawyer Pei, there is a prostitution account book. Where did you find it?"
Meng Sheng was slightly startled, and replied slowly, "In Yu Qionghua's study in the old merchant's house, the account book is on the top right of the bookshelf..."
She thought about it carefully. "It seems to be in the fourth book, the cover of "Listening to the Smell of Summer in the Blue Mountains". The bottom layer of the safe in the cabinet behind the desk contains the underground industry's plan and the list of "employees". I don't know if she has moved it."
After hearing this, Captain Chen immediately called his men to seal off Yu Qionghua's study.
After arresting Yu Qionghua yesterday, the police interrogated her overnight. Yu Qionghua admitted that Yue Qi Fang was engaged in prostitution business underground and also revealed all the shareholders of Yue Qi Fang, including shareholders of the underground industry.
Ruan Yun and Bai Suqin were secretly taken back to the police station for investigation last night.
But for the rest, Yu Qionghua was not very willing to speak.
The crucial evidence in this case is the account book.
After the call, he said to Meng Sheng, "It is our normal procedure to summon you here today. Please forgive me, Miss Meng."
"It doesn't matter."
Meng Sheng smiled faintly, looked at the man beside him, and asked hesitantly, "Then what should I do now..."
Pei Sui's voice interrupted her, "I'll take her away first. If you have anything, any questions, feel free to call me."
After saying that, he pulled Meng Sheng out of the police station.
Near noon, a beam of golden light penetrated the clouds, poured down, and tightly wrapped Meng Sheng.
The warmth was not strong, but it seemed to neutralize the bleakness and coldness brought to her by the biting wind.
When they reached the black Bentley, Pei Sui belatedly let go of her arm.
He turned around and looked at her face, his deep voice revealing a barely perceptible concern, "Isn't this acting? How did it end up like this?"
