Chapter 321 Can we get the police to cooperate in staging a play? [43]

Because of Li Pan'er's identification, Ye Lin was taken away for investigation.

At that time, Ye Lin was at the hospital with Li Chu.

Also in the hospital were Xiao Chenghai and the Li family.

The Li family was worried that Li Chu would feel lonely staying in the hospital by herself, so they would visit her every day.

To impress others, Xiao Chenghai naturally went every day.

Sure enough, the police came over and said directly to Ye Lin, "Ye Lin, Li Pan'er has identified you as the mastermind behind the kidnapping and trafficking of Li Chu. Please come with us."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the members of the Li family changed.

"What!?"

"So it was you who wanted to harm Chu Chu!"

"Ye Lin! Who gave you the audacity!"

Xiao Chenghai also stood up in shock: "Impossible, officer! There must be some misunderstanding!"

Ye Lin was briefly flustered, but she quickly suppressed it.

Her face showed a shocked and innocent expression: "I... how could I possibly be the mastermind behind hurting Chu Chu! I'm too heartbroken for her!"

Xiao Chenghai: "That's right! We all love Chuchu very much!"

The police officer, in a businesslike manner, said, "Whether you have it or not, please come with us and we'll talk about it."

Ye Lin nodded: "Okay, anyway, I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of an investigation."

Ye Lin's reaction calmed the furious Li family down a little.

As Ye Lin was taken away by the police, everyone in the Li family looked at Xiao Chenghai.

Xiao Chenghai thought of something and looked pained: "It must be Li Pan'er making baseless accusations to distance herself from the situation!"

"I told Ye Lin a long time ago that she shouldn't be too kind."

Xiao Chenghai said to his maternal uncle and the others, "Didn't Zhiyun bring Chuchu back three years ago, saying that she wanted to send Li Pan'er back to her hometown?"

"But she knelt on the ground crying and begged Ye Lin, saying that she would definitely not survive if she went back to her hometown."

"Ye Lin is soft-hearted, and having raised her for five years, she developed some affection for her. So she gave her a sum of money, settled her in K City, and found her a school to continue her studies."

"I never expected that my good deed would be met with such a bad reward!"

The eldest uncle looked at Xiao Chenghai with his aged but sharp eyes, without saying a word.

The third uncle grabbed Xiao Chenghai by the collar: "Xiao Chenghai! Do you dare to swear that Ye Lin is not the mastermind?"

Xiao Chenghai immediately raised his right hand: "I swear, Ye Lin is definitely not such a bad person! If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning!"

Outside, the weather was fine and sunny, with no sign of a sudden storm.

Back then, Xiao Chenghai swore to Li Xiaoxiao's mother that he would only love her for the rest of his life and would never betray her, or he would be struck by lightning.

Ye Lin was taken to the police station for questioning, and her account was similar to Xiao Chenghai's.

It's all because of my kindness three years ago, plus the affection I've developed over raising her for five years, that I still keep in touch with Li Pan'er and give her money from time to time.

Ye Lin said she was very upset, never expecting that her act of kindness would be used against her.

Li Pan'er was very excited after hearing what Ye Lin said, and she added a few more points.

"Back then, I impersonated Li Chu. I should have been exposed during the paternity test, but unfortunately, someone falsified the paternity test results. That person was Xiao Chenghai!"

"Three years ago, I threatened Xiao Chenghai and Ye Lin with a paternity test and made them give me money!"

Hearing what Li Pan'er said from the police, Xiao Chenghai was even more heartbroken: "My wife and I just couldn't bear to see Li Pan'er, a minor girl, all alone and helpless, we never expected..."

After going back and forth like this, Li Chu was finally discharged from the hospital.

She stayed in the hospital for three days, and because her wound was healing well, the doctor agreed to let her go home to recuperate.

Although Li Chu spent the last three days lying in a hospital bed, she received all the necessary information immediately.

Shen Wangqing told her once, and then the Li family told her again.

There were other things that the Li family didn't know, but Li Chu could learn from Shen Wangqing.

For example, Xiao Chenghai has already sent someone to warn Li Pan'er to shut up.

If she honestly confesses and doesn't make baseless accusations, they can hire a decent defense lawyer for her so she can receive a lighter sentence.

She's only eighteen. Even if she serves ten years in prison, she'll only be twenty-eight when she gets out.

They'll try to make things easier for her in prison, so she can have a comfortable time there.

Li Pan'er was still hesitating, but it seemed she was already tempted.

In Li Chu's bedroom at the Li family home.

Li Chu sat leaning against the bed, while Shen Wangqing sat beside her.

Since Li Chu was discharged from the hospital, Shen Wangqing has visited her every day.

I just can't stay with her like I did in the hospital anymore; I have to leave after an hour.

Shen Wangqing took one of Li Chu's hands and played with it.

Li Chu's hand felt a little itchy from his rubbing, so she tried to pull it back, but couldn't.

As if to divert her attention, Shen Wangqing said, "I suspect that Li Pan'er still has some bargaining chips, which may be evidence that can directly prove that Ye Lin is the mastermind."

As expected, Li Chu did not try to pull her hand back.

Her eyes darted around, and an idea popped into her head: "Could we get the police to cooperate and stage a scene?"

Shen Wangqing looked at her and asked, "What play?"

Li Chu leaned close to his ear and whispered her thoughts to him.

The girl's unique fragrance sprayed onto her ears and cheeks. Shen Wangqing barely managed to stay conscious and could still hear what Li Chu was saying.

When Li Chu finished speaking and was about to retreat, a strong hand wrapped around her waist.

Shen Wangqing tilted his head and gave Li Chu a quick kiss on the lips.

One kiss wasn't enough; he placed his other hand on the back of Li Chu's neck and leaned in to kiss her again.

Shen Wangqing moved gently, as if afraid of touching Li Chu's wound.

The person who was sitting on the chair by the bed has now moved to sit on the bed.

Just as the two were locked in a passionate kiss, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Li Chu was startled and pushed Shen Wangqing away.

Shen Wangqing didn't dare to hold Li Chu tightly in the first place, for fear of touching her wound.

So when Li Chu pushed him, he pushed him away.

He also fell to the ground because he used too much force.

Li Chu exclaimed in surprise, "Are you alright?"

The floor beside the bed was carpeted. Shen Wangqing wasn't in pain, but she raised her head and looked at Li Chu with some helplessness.

Li Chu glared at him somewhat embarrassedly.

Zhao Mingxue's voice rang out from outside the door: "Chuchu, Wangqing, the kitchen has made some sweet soup. I'll bring it in for you to try."

Shen Wangqing got up from the ground and went to open the door.

"Thank you, Auntie." He smiled, his manner gentle and polite.

Zhao Mingxue handed over the tray she was carrying and then exchanged a few more words with Shen Wangqing.

"I won't disturb you any longer, please continue your conversation."

Zhao Mingxue smiled and left Li Chu's room.

Shen Wangqing closed the door again and brought the tray to the bedside.

"I'll feed you."

He picked up a bowl of sweet soup, scooped some up with a spoon, tasted it to his lips to make sure it wasn't too hot, and then fed it to Li Chu.

Li Chu opened her mouth and ate, her face remaining normal, but her earlobes were red.
