"It was you? You planned this all along, didn't you?" Xie Chuancai reacted quickly, his eyes contorted with rage.

But how could Song Xia admit it? Even Xiao Li and Aunt Liu didn't know about her plan. No matter what Xie Chuancai said, it was just his guess, but the fact that he committed a crime was undeniable.

The police quickly arrived and took Xie Chuancai into custody. He protested, saying it was just a family dispute and he had no intention of killing Song Xia.

"There are security cameras at home, and everything that just happened should have been recorded," Song Xia said weakly.

Xie Chuancai looked up abruptly. How could this be? He had clearly already cut off the power.

Song Xia sneered inwardly. She'd suffered from her lack of knowledge. Many surveillance cameras use emergency power; otherwise, why would she have let someone in?

Xiao Li also stepped forward to testify, saying that as soon as she came in, she saw Xie Chuancai choking Song Xia and noticed the faint marks on Song Xia's neck.

"Xie Chuancai, you are suspected of murder. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation."

"You can't take me away. I'm Song Xia's father-in-law. We just had a simple family dispute. I didn't mean to kill her. I just wanted to scare her." Even at this point, Xie Chuancai was still trying to argue, but the evidence was right in front of him, and he couldn't be allowed to get away with it.

The policewoman helped Song Xia along to cooperate with the investigation: "Ms. Song, are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"

"No need, it's just a sore throat, nothing serious."

Do you know why your father-in-law wanted to murder you?

"It's probably because of the recent divorce and lawsuit to recover assets," Song Xia said, looking exhausted.

Because the nature of the cases was different, the officers who came this time were different from the officers who went to the company last time, and they were not very clear about the connection between the two matters. She gave a simple explanation, and all the police officers present looked at her with sympathy.

"So why did you hire bodyguards? Did you sense something was going on at their house? Why didn't you report it to the police station?"

Song Xia knew that the police suspected her of deliberately inducing Xie Chuancai to commit a crime, but how could she admit it?

“It was out of instinctive concern. After all, they had attacked my daughter while I was away, feeding her foods she was allergic to. I was afraid they might do something even worse if they were provoked. This was also the advice I received from my lawyers. They are knowledgeable and experienced in this area, so I followed their advice.”

This was a fact, so the police were able to find the information the law firm had sent her earlier. Everything was reasonable. In addition, the incident of Lingling being forced to eat mutton had just happened in G City. They could find out the truth with a simple inquiry. The police could only conclude that it was a deliberate scheme by Xie Chuancai's side.

The motive for the crime was clear, and the actions recorded on surveillance footage were irrefutable evidence. Therefore, Xie Chuancai was ordered to be arrested immediately and charged with attempted murder, pending court judgment.

When Aunt Liu and the others heard the news, they were terrified. If they hadn't called Xiao Li up at that time, wouldn't it have been too late?

Liu Qian, on the other hand, is quick-witted and thinks a lot, but she certainly won't say anything, or even ask.

I just think Sister Song Xia is really amazing. Those guys should behave themselves now!

Upon learning that Xie Chuancai had been arrested on charges of murder, Zhang Yuefen, who was rushing to catch her train, fainted, and Zuo Shan turned pale with fright.

But she felt mostly regret and resentment. If she had done it, why hadn't she succeeded? Why was Song Xia completely unharmed?

She wasn't worried that Xie Chuancai would betray her, since she had only sighed at the time and all the planning and actions were Xie Chuancai's own ideas.

What she's worried about now is Xie Chuancai's arrest and Zhang Yuefen's record. Who will do those things in the future? What will happen to her and her son Tianci?

Must we really accept our fate? Must we really give back everything we've gained?

No, she was not willing to accept it!

Before the court could seize her assets, she decided to transfer everything she could, whether it was under her parents' names or her brother and sister-in-law's names. Could they really seize assets that far away?

At this time, Xie Yuan, who was imprisoned, was unaware of what his parents had done. If he had known, he would probably have been even angrier.

After being kept in the dark for so many days, he had lost a lot of weight and had been insisting on meeting Song Xia. Now that the situation had been settled, Song Xia granted his wish.

The two now present a stark contrast: Song Xia is glamorous and radiant, while Xie Yuan is disheveled, though a look of amazement flashes in his eyes the moment she walks in.

Song Xia scoffed at his gaze. What was he trying to prove by pretending to be affectionate now?

What are you trying to say?

"Xiaxia." Xie Yuan forced a smile. "You've finally arrived."

"I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense."

“I know I’ve wronged you, and no amount of atonement is too much, so I want to return all the assets I transferred overseas to you.”

Song Xia raised an eyebrow: "What are the conditions?"

She didn't believe he was being kind and trying to exchange his wealth for his freedom; she certainly didn't need that money.

“That money can not only pay off the company’s accounts and resolve the company’s temporary crisis, but also give you and Lingling a more comfortable life. I promise I will not bother you again. You know that if I don’t cooperate, it will be very difficult for you to recover the overseas assets.”

"Threatening me?"

"How can you call it a threat? I sincerely want to return all that money to you."

Song Xia smiled and said, "You really think the company can't function without you? After getting rid of the cancerous people you promoted, the company actually took on a few new projects. Lingling and I don't have any material desires, and we have enough money to live on now. So, I'd rather you stay in jail than not make me feel comfortable."

Xie Yuan's expression changed: "Song Xia, don't be willful. This is a win-win situation."

"A win-win situation? Are you waiting for me to be released so you can murder me? You don't know yet, do you? Your dad's been arrested for attempted murder. You two might even meet in prison!"

"What did you say?" Xie Yuan jumped up, his face full of disbelief.

Song Xia snorted coldly: "Your family is truly vicious from generation to generation. Xie Yuan, don't even think about spending a year in prison, and don't even think about going abroad to get those assets and make a comeback after you get out. Even if I can't get them back, by the time you get out, it will be too late."

Xie Yuan was well aware of these principles, which is why he wanted to see Song Xia and use the money to buy his freedom.

But even the last hope is about to be dashed. What foolish thing did his father do?

Song Xia has changed long ago, can't they see that? What attempted murder? Maybe it was all a trap set by Song Xia to lure the snake into its hole from the very beginning.

It must be said that Xie Yuan was indeed quite clever, as he immediately guessed the beginning and end of the matter. But who would believe the words of a criminal like him? Even if they did, there was no evidence, and no one forced Xie Chuancai to do it. Wasn't everything his own initiative?

Considering his previous actions, his mother's scheming against Xie Lingling, and his father's latest move, people can only say that Song Xia was unlucky to have encountered such a vicious family. Fortunately, heaven has eyes and they got what they deserved.
