Chapter 81 Taking Position

Xin Xin was chatting with her college friends when the police suddenly showed up at her door, leaving her frozen in place.

"Hello," the police officer said, taking back his badge and ignoring the astonished expressions of the Xin family. He stared straight at Xin Xin and said, "There is a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation."

"Who is Song Wenxian to you?" the policeman asked coldly.

Xin Xin sat opposite the policeman, feeling extremely awkward. "They're... just ordinary friends."

...

“President Luo,” Cheng Zheng sent Luo Huayi the photos he had obtained from the paparazzi, “Xin Xin has also been taken away for investigation.”

Luo Huayi was busy working with Song Wenxian's competitors to suppress Song Wenxian's company to the death. Hearing Cheng Zheng's words, he temporarily hung up the phone.

"Xin Xin?" Luo Huayi glanced at the photo. "Was this also Xin Que's doing?"

“But Song Wenxian’s matter doesn’t seem to have involved her much.” Cheng Zheng made inquiries from various sources before finding out the current situation of the two. “Song Wenxian is still in detention, while Xin Xin only stayed in there for half a day before being released.”

"If Miss Xin Que is going to make a move against Xin Xin, she wouldn't just let her have a quick trip to the police station, would she?"

"Shouldn't we take this opportunity to wipe them all out?"

Luo Huayi pondered for a moment, then said, "Have someone keep an eye on Xin Xin's side and observe how things develop."

"As for Song Wenxian... the Song family's lawyer has already applied for a meeting with him. If he's lucky, it's only a matter of time before he's released on bail."

"We just need to hold our ground in public opinion."

As for how to deal with Song Wenxian... Luo Hua thought of Xin Que, who had disappeared without a trace, and decided to wait until she came forward before discussing the next step.

“By the way,” Luo Huayi frowned as she thought of something, “what’s wrong with the repairmen the property manager arranged? We asked them to fix the water pipes last time, and it’s only been a few days, how come they’ve burst again?”

Cheng Zheng "..."

Why are the water pipes in the CEO's house of such poor quality?

"Mr. Luo, I'll contact the property manager again right away." Cheng Zheng sighed inwardly, but showed no emotion on his face.

That's what he was given.

...

Xin Xin was in a daze for a long time after leaving the police station.

She walked home in silence, and once there, Xin Xin locked herself in her bedroom.

When Sun Xinyue heard that her daughter had been taken away by the police, she was in a state of panic for a long time. She subconsciously thought that her hiring someone to kidnap Xin Que had been exposed, and that Xin Xin had been implicated.

She rushed home before Xin Fengcheng, ignoring the servants who dared not breathe, and went straight upstairs to knock on Xin Xin's door.

After standing outside the door and offering gentle words of comfort to Xin Xin for a long time, the doorknob finally turned slightly.

"What happened?" Sun Xinyue was eager to know what Xin Xin had been investigated at the police station. "Xin Xin, how did you end up being taken there all of a sudden?"

Xin Xin's eyes were red and swollen, clearly indicating that she had been crying for a long time.

“It was Song Wenxian and Ji Chen…” Xin Xin only got a few words out before she started sobbing again, “What does it have to do with me… They were the ones who volunteered to stand up for me, why are you making it sound like I ordered them to do it…”

Sun Xinyue finally pieced together the facts from Xin Xin's intermittent sobs.

The incidents of Song Wenxian and Ji Chen bullying others on campus during their university years have been brought to light, and have even involved various criminal cases such as rape, car accidents, and organized crime.

Sun Xinyue's vision went black.

Song Wenxian is incompetent. Not only did he not clean up his mess, but he also dragged Xin Xin into it.

Fortunately, she never made Xin Xin and Song Wenxian's relationship public.

“I’ll have your dad find you a lawyer,” Sun Xinyue reassured Xin Xin. “Don’t worry, this won’t affect you.”

“Xin Xin, Song Wenxian is ruined. You must cut ties with him immediately and never associate with him again.”

Xin Xin wiped away her tears and nodded.

Xin Xin only collapsed onto the bed when she was alone in the bedroom once again.

Being taken away by the police in front of so many people in her family was an utter disgrace to her.

She had never suffered such injustice since she was a child!

After staying in the dark for who knows how long, Xin Xin slowly went downstairs to eat.

As soon as Xin Fengcheng sat down at the dining table, he saw his youngest daughter crying and sobbing, and he gradually lost the tenderness he used to feel for her.

“Your mother has told me everything about your situation,” Xin Fengcheng said, glancing at her before looking away. “A lawyer will come to talk to you tomorrow and try to extricate you from this matter.”

Xin Xin forced a smile, "Thank you, Dad..."

"This time, I made a mistake in choosing my friends..."

When she saw the impatience on Xin Fengcheng's face, her voice gradually softened.

Xin Fengcheng was somewhat irritated.

"Stay home and don't go anywhere for now. Let's wait until this matter with Song Wenxian is completely over before we talk about it."

He also recalled the Song couple coming to his door, subtly implying that their son had been bewitched by Xin Xin, which was why he had committed those heinous acts.

Xin Fengcheng's only consolation was that Xin Xin wasn't foolish enough to leave her mark on these matters, so the other party couldn't find any useful leverage and could only vent their anger verbally.

There is still a lot of room for lawyers to play a role.

As long as everything is pinned on Song Wenxian, Xin Xin and the Xin family won't be implicated.

When Xin Fengcheng saw Xin Xin's forced smile, his usual kind face was gone. "The Xin family raised you, not so that you would learn from your good-for-nothing sister."

"Forget it," Xin Fengcheng said, having lost his appetite as well. He put down his chopsticks, tossed out a dismissive remark, and got up to leave. "No matter how much of a troublemaker Xin Que is, he never brings the police home, but you..."

"Each one is worse than the last..."

Xin Xin lowered her head and gripped the chopsticks tightly in her hand.

Sun Xinyue glanced at Xin Xin, then got up and caught up with Xin Fengcheng.

Slowly pushing aside the bowls and chopsticks in front of her, Xin Xin left the restaurant in a low-pressure atmosphere.

The maid, quick to read the room, said nothing and quietly cleared the tableware, doing her job.

After locking the bedroom door, Xin Xin could no longer hold back. She wiped away her tears of shame with tissues while searching for her spare phone.

Now you think Xin Que is better than her?

The light from the phone screen illuminated Xin Xin's furious and embarrassed face, making it appear even more grotesque.

Xin Que, don't even think about coming back to take her place!

As long as she is the only child in this family...

No one can shake her position in the Xin family.

Xin Que was driving on the elevated highway when her backup phone rang. Without looking to the side, she swiped to answer.

"When exactly will Xin Que's order be completed?" The voice, disguised as a mechanical tone, carried a sinister undertone. "I can't wait any longer!"

Xin Que "..."

She watched the indicator lines gradually disappear beneath the front of the car, her voice, processed by a voice changer, devoid of emotion, "Want to rush it?"

"Add more money first."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

...

Cheng Zheng picked Luo Huayi up from the drinking party and took her back to the villa.

“Song Wenxian’s parents are still not giving up and want to see you,” Cheng Zheng said casually as he parked the car in the front yard of the villa. “Our public relations this time are pretty much a public show, so it’s understandable that they know we’re dealing with Song Wenxian.”

Luo Huayi got out of the car, "I won't see him. I'll wait until Song Wenxian is released on bail..."

"Hello?" An SUV was parked outside the villa, and then the car door opened.

Xin Que grabbed the heavy toolbox and got out of the car, glancing at the address on her phone. "The property manager asked me to come..."

The two looked at each other through the courtyard gate that was not yet closed.

Xin Que "..."

Did the CEO's water pipe burst?

Luo Huayi “…”

Cheng Zheng looked completely clueless and bewildered. "You're the maintenance worker sent by the property manager, right? The one from the second-floor bathroom..."

Luo Huayi covered Cheng Zheng's mouth with a blank expression.
