Suddenly, there was silence all around.
All that could be heard was the sound of handcuffs being tightened, and before Lin Zhu'er could say a word, she was taken away by the police forces from both sides.
As they passed by Ed, the captain of Country X's police force stopped, saluted Ed very friendly, and thanked him:
"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Ed. We've been tracking these economic crimes for a long time, but we haven't been able to find the mastermind behind them. If it weren't for the clues Mr. Ed provided us, it would probably take us a lot longer to solve the case. Well, I'll be leaving now. Thank you."
After saying that, the other party nodded to Ed, bowed, and took Lin Zhuer away after a while.
The Chinese police did not leave immediately, but sent a small group of people to hand over work to the police in Country X.
After all, they are now in the border of Country X, and the Chinese police cannot come here at will. If they want to take Lin Zhuer back to the Chinese prison for trial, they need the consent of Country X.
Therefore, there are not many people coming from China, but they are all professionals. The people sent over to follow will complete the subsequent handover work with Country X.
The captain of the Chinese police force, the bear-looking man, Captain Bao Zheng, walked right up to He Long and grinned at him:
"I just received a message from our deputy captain, Xiao Bao, saying that the case has been successfully resolved. The victim, Yang Yiyi, is now under police protection and is in a stable mood. The preliminary examination results show that she is fine and will be discharged after a period of rest. Thank you very much for supporting our police work and reporting the case to us in a timely manner, Mr. He, but..."
As he spoke, Captain Bao Zheng glanced sharply at Will behind him and Lin Long on the stage not far away. He lowered his voice and smiled strangely:
"I heard from Xiao Bao that you were with him just twenty minutes ago, but now I've seen these two at Country X Fashion Week. This speed... is truly extraordinary. You know, even if you took off directly from the airport, it would take at least an hour to get here. I wonder how these two got here?"
This Captain Bao Zheng is exactly the other Captain Bao Zheng who is known as "Big Justice Bao", but his expression is sharper than the other one, as if he can see through something.
However, He Long's expression did not change at all. He just shook hands with Captain Bao Zheng and responded directly.
"I believe Captain Bao is a smart man who knows the right balance, just like how I chose to report the crime to the two Captains Bao instead of anyone else."
Hearing this, Captain Bao Zheng in front of him laughed loudly and heartily.
At this moment, the bear-like police captain did not have any "aggressive" look on his face. Instead, he looked like an extremely cheerful man, with no intention of getting to the bottom of the truth.
This is why He Long chose these two people. Not only are their methods extraordinary, but once a criminal falls into their hands, there is no chance of escape.
It is also because these two people are only interested in criminals. As for some unreasonable things, as long as they do not violate Chinese laws, they will completely ignore them, just like now.
So, Captain Bao Zheng and He Long left with the rest of the police force without saying a word.
Except for the key part that was spoken in a low voice, all the others were broadcast one by one through the global live broadcast of Fashion Week, which made people "shocking".
It is unexpected that international supermodel Ed and Mr. He of BD Consortium can assist the police in solving cases besides participating in Fashion Week. It is really gratifying.
The above are the thoughts of audiences in other countries.
However, for China, it was like a huge thunderclap exploding.
Just a moment ago, almost everyone was talking about Fashion Week and Goddess.
But in the next moment, the screen was completely filled with news like #Lin Zhuer goes to the police station#, #Lin Zhuer commits a crime#, etc. Almost everyone was discussing this matter.
"What the hell is going on? I was just watching the Fashion Week live stream, and suddenly two police teams rushed in and arrested Lin Zhu'er? Did Lin Zhu'er actually commit a crime? Does the Lin family know?"
"Not only that, I just counted, not counting the overlap, Lin Zhu'er has at least three crimes, and they all look like serious crimes: financial and economic crime fraud, rape instigation, and... attempted murder! Holy shit! Is this true? It's actually attempted murder! I suddenly feel so terrible, really terrible..."
"But what exactly is going on here? Could anyone explain it to me? Especially the last two charges: incitement to rape and attempted murder... I have a very ominous feeling."
There are not just one or two netizens who want to know the specific and detailed situation of the case. At this moment, almost all the official accounts of Jiangcheng police have been flooded with comments. The comments all express their desire to know the detailed situation of the case directly and want to know whether Lin Zhuer is a suspect or has been confirmed to have committed a crime?
The Jiangcheng police responded succinctly and directly stated on their official account:
"This police operation is not a rash one. We already have solid evidence, but this incident involves numerous cases, including international financial crimes. We need to hand over the criminal to the police in Country X before we can compile and publish the details of the incident. Please be advised."
This statement by the Jiangcheng police is equivalent to directly admitting Lin Zhuer's criminal facts.
This time, the entire Internet was shocked and kept discussing what Lin Zhuer had done.
The official account of the former Lin's Enterprise, now the Lin's Company, was repeatedly @ed, asking them to explain clearly what was going on!
In fact, the Lin family is more shocked than anyone else right now.
Especially the third son of the Lin family, Lin Jiashu.
During this period, the entire family has been extremely busy in order to revive the Lin Group. Today was no exception. He specially took out a few hours to sit in front of the computer and watch the global live broadcast of Fashion Week.
Although at this moment, he himself was a little confused as to whether he wanted to see his beloved sister Lin Zhuer, or his vicious little sister Lin Long, whom he was supposed to hate and despise.
His reason told him that he was here to see Lin Zhuer. As her brother and sister's first international stage performance, how could he not watch?
But when he saw that Lin Long had not shown up for a long time, he became extremely anxious.
He even wanted to call the two people from the BD and GD consortiums that bankrupted their Lin Group and ask them where Lin Long was now.
Lin Long wasn't someone who gave up easily, especially since this was the hard work of her team, not just hers! It was even more impossible for her to give up, especially since she wasn't at Fashion Week right now, absent!
Does that mean something happened to Lin Long?! What on earth are those two people doing now who keep saying they are her dad and won’t let anyone else hurt him?!
Lin Jiashu didn't know why he was so anxious, and he didn't know why he was so sure that Lin Long would not be absent for no reason.
None of this seemed normal, but at this moment, he was so worried that he couldn't stop.
It was not until the moment when Lin Long's face appeared on the live camera that his tense heart relaxed a little. His eyes kept scanning Lin Long's body, fearing that she would make any mistake.
Especially when he noticed several obvious scratches on the palm of Lin Long's right hand caused by glass, he was so worried that he almost jumped up.
He is really crazy, Lin Jiashu murmured. He obviously shouldn't be like this now.
But he still couldn't stop looking, even though he now realized that he might not actually hate his little sister Lin Long that much.
On the contrary, he might really like his little sister. He has liked her since she was brought back to the Lin family.
So much so that in the half of the back he couldn't take his eyes off Lin Long for even a moment, and when he saw that the Goddess team Lin Long belonged to was appreciated and expected by countless people, becoming the 'uncrowned king', the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up.
When I looked in the mirror, I found that I had an unstoppable smile on my face without knowing when.
But this smile froze the moment the police forces from both countries rushed in and arrested Lin Zhuer on a series of multiple charges.
After being stunned for a second, Lin Jiashu suddenly reacted, staggered and ran straight out, rushing into his father's office.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw that not only Lin's father was here, but also his eldest and second brothers were here. The computer screen in front of him happened to be stopped at the Weibo page. It seemed that they all just found out about Lin Zhuer's situation and rushed over to Lin's father's side.
"What on earth is going on? Dad, big brother, second brother, what on earth is going on? How did Zhu'er commit a crime? How come I don't know anything about it? What on earth is going on? When did it all start?"
The eldest brother Lin Jiayan and the second brother Lin Jiamo both shook their heads to indicate that they knew nothing, and even said that they knew even less than Lin Jiashu.
They came to Lin's father's side, just like Lin Jiashu, wanting to know what was going on.
Lin Jianming, Lin's father, remained silent at this moment, staring at the "Lin Zhuer crime" incident that was causing a sensation on Weibo, with a gloomy and ugly expression on his face.
For a moment, the three Lin brothers found it difficult to tell what their father was thinking, and they didn't know how to start talking.
But at this moment, the situation on the Internet suddenly changed.
Just at this moment, dozens of media outlets on Weibo suddenly released a "similar" message.
It tells the story of a major event that happened in Jiangcheng during the Fashion Week tonight. The rising star Yang Yiyi was almost insulted and even nearly risked her life to protect herself, but was successfully rescued in the end.
They witnessed the entire incident with their own eyes, but they have more to reveal than just this. There is also even more shocking revelations. This matter is closely related to the "Lin Zhuer was arrested" incident, and involves a lot of content. Their media is working overtime overnight to sort out the whole process of this incident and has decided to share the information with all media.
All of the above "shocking revelations" will be released after midnight.
This piece of news exploded like thunder.
Who would have thought that in just one night, after Lin Zhuer was caught committing a crime, it was revealed that Yang Yiyi was almost insulted. Such a serious and bad incident made netizens not know where to focus their attention for a while.
Moreover, just like this, there has never been a case where dozens of media outlets work together to share information.
This matter was very unusual, and many people felt it, especially the words between the lines of dozens of media outlets, which all hinted that the "incident in which Yang Yiyi was almost insulted" and the "incident in which Lin Zhuer was caught for committing a crime" seemed to have an unusual connection.
Furthermore, during the Global Fashion Week live broadcast just now, the Chinese police arrested Lin Zhuer on charges that included "incitement to rape"!!!
It is now past eight o'clock in the evening, and there are still more than three hours until midnight the next day!
That night, no matter whether they had a day off the next day, or had to go to work or class, no matter whether they were the ones who stayed up late or had a normal schedule, almost no one slept. They just counted the time silently, waiting for the moment when the pointer hit zero.
The dozens of media outlets kept their promise. At the moment the clock struck zero o'clock, dozens of media outlets released related content one after another:
This is a relatively detailed and specific review of the incident where "Yang Yiyi was almost insulted", and a collective apology was also given. They "happened" to appear at the scene, and it was not a coincidence, but they received some ill-gotten gains.
They have seriously realized their mistakes under the guidance of the police uncles, and their relevant colleagues are still receiving education in the police station. Now these contents are entrusted to them for release by their colleagues.
Here, they took the lead in expressing their formal apology to Yang Yiyi, and confessed that they had accepted bribes and originally intended to discredit Yang Yiyi.
But in fact, Yang Yiyi was the real victim, and another popular actor, Zhang Tianyi, was also involved.
When these dozens of media outlets unanimously recounted what happened that night, the entire Internet exploded immediately, and everyone couldn't help but burst into angry curses!
In just a few minutes, all of Zhang Tianyi's fans had quit following him.
No one can accept such criminal behavior.
In addition to being a star, Yang Yiyi is also a girl who has just reached adulthood. Now we live in a society ruled by law. No one can borrow money, power, or even the love of others to do such things that are worse than pigs and dogs!
Even now, even if these media outlets publicly apologize, they cannot erase what they did before!
If the police had not arrived and the person had not been rescued in time, their previous act of accepting bribes would have had the potential to completely ruin a young girl's bright future and might even have made her want to commit suicide.
Haven't things like this happened often enough? How long will they continue to underestimate the struggles of girls?
Regarding this matter, those dozens of media outlets did not refute it, but just kept expressing their most sincere apologies in unison, saying that they knew they were wrong.
Although these words seem pale and may not make everyone believe them again, now is not the time. Please let everyone calm down first. After they have confessed all the events, all their media will quietly accept everyone's criticism.
Having said that, dozens of media outlets continued to release follow-up reports, and the following piece of information had a strange question:
"Does something like this sound familiar to you? Here's some known information and keywords."
"Known information: The person who bribed us to discredit Yang Yiyi was Yang Yiyi's 'best friend' Lin Zhuer. The key word is - charity gala."
Lin Zhuer? Charity gala? Something familiar...?
What does this refer to? Has a similar incident of being framed and insulted occurred at a charity gala? And is it related to Lin Zhuer? Is it? No, wait, speaking of similar incidents at recent charity galas, could it be that...
At this time, the dozens of media outlets did not keep the news in suspense any longer, and their third Weibo post all included a short recording.
The source of this recording is noted, and it was provided by the brave and unstubborn Miss Yang Yiyi.
Moreover, in order to protect Yang Yiyi's reputation, the recording has undergone certain technical processing and some content has been deleted. It was released only with the consent of Yang Yiyi herself and the police.
The processed recording was much longer, only a few minutes, but in these few minutes, everything was made clear.
They had always thought that Lin Long, who was vicious and blackened by the entire internet, actually did not have any improper relationships with those bosses at the charity dinner a few months ago, but... she was also a victim at that time!
She rushed out in such a panic and asked for help from the Third Young Master of the Lin family. She didn't want to frame anyone, nor was she pretending. She was really asking them for help!
What did they do at that time? They followed the trend of the Internet without any judgment of their own. Others said she was a vicious woman, so they subconsciously believed that Lin Long was just that vicious woman!
Furthermore, they continue to trample on Lin Long and damage her reputation with their self-righteous attitude. How is their behavior any different from the disgusting behavior of those bribed journalists?!
There is no difference!! There is no difference at all!!
In an instant, the entire Internet fell silent, and everyone fell silent.
There were so many people online, and so many people were paying attention to this matter, but no one spoke. Everyone was quiet, and the entire Internet became exceptionally silent.
I don't know how long it took, but someone finally started speaking first.
They are members of the crew of Director Wu's new drama. Director Wu and Zhang Yi took the lead and posted a Weibo:
"sorry."
"Yang Yiyi, I'm sorry. When our makeup artist contacted us and told us that something might happen to you, we didn't take it seriously. I'm sorry."
"We are extremely sorry, Miss Lin Longlin. Our entire crew is deeply sorry for the malicious intent we directed toward you without proper judgment. We are so sorry."
Then, immediately afterwards, Director Wu and the entire crew, except for Lin Zhuer, Yang Yiyi and Zhang Tianyi, all members showed up and said "I'm sorry". Even the logistics team members who were not very familiar with them showed up and apologized.
I'm sorry, Yang Yiyi.
I'm sorry, Lin Long.
The collective apology from Director Wu and the entire crew seemed to have opened a gap in the otherwise quiet internet.
The next moment, other netizens on the Internet started to take action. They all clicked on "Post on Weibo", moved their fingertips tremblingly, and typed something.
So, when the entire Weibo account was refreshed, the entire page was filled with only one sentence, one message:
"I'm sorry, Lin Long."
"Sorry, longLong."
However, the "I'm sorry" campaign did not stop there. Instead, more and more people joined in. They all plucked up their courage and continued to post "I'm sorry" on Weibo, apologizing for their previous bad behavior.
Even though they knew deep down that such a "sorry" meant nothing and could not make up for the harm they had done to Lin Long before.
Just now they were extremely angry and said that the "apologies from those bribed reporters were useless", which was a slap in their own faces.
What qualifications do they have to say this? Absolutely no qualifications!!
Those reporters ultimately failed to succeed and did not cause any substantial harm, but they had already done something that directly harmed Lin Long.
Looking back now, many of them had said things that were seriously excessive! How could a simple "I'm sorry" ever make up for it? But all they could do now was say, "I'm sorry."
Chu Qi, who habitually logged into Weibo to check for the latest updates, discovered the screen full of messages like this on Weibo.
When they saw the screen full of "I'm sorry, Lin Long", they were all stunned. When they wanted to flip down to find out what was going on, they flipped for a long time but couldn't find anything. It was just pages and pages of "I'm sorry".
After browsing for about four or five minutes, when Chu Qi saw the Weibo post jointly released by dozens of media outlets, she finally understood what was going on. She ran out in one breath and stuffed the phone into Lin Long's hand, asking her to look at it. The expression on her face was both complicated and excited.
Because the thrilling fashion week has just ended, although they did not get any ranking and even missed the fashion week selection.
However, everyone in Goddess was very excited and had no complaints. Or to be more precise, they were very satisfied and excited.
They had gained something more important than honor, and from today on, they vaguely felt that their Goddess had taken another big step forward.
All these made all the members of Goddess very excited. They didn't even care about the fact that Lin Zhuer was taken away later. After confirming that Yang Yiyi was in good condition in the hospital, all the members of Goddess completely relaxed.
The first to act was the serious Feng Shan. As soon as he returned to Xia Garden, he fearlessly put his arm around the international supermodel Ed, and asked with a wink if she had any fine wines in her collection. It was rare that the atmosphere was so good now, so how about taking them out to celebrate.
Ed raised his eyebrows. You're right, it really does exist.
Although dragons do not like alcohol and most of them cannot tolerate it and get drunk easily after drinking too much, no matter which dragon father is like this, it does not mean that they do not have a collection of good wine, especially in the Summer Garden where many celebrities come and go.
After a while, the treasured wine was brought up by the servants.
Being in a good mood, a small party started in Xia Garden soon after. The only participants were Goddess and Lin Long's three dragon fathers.
Everyone was so happy that not only Feng Shan, but even the youngest Feng Feng was allowed to drink a little wine tonight as an exception. And the Dragon dads next to Lin Long, for some reason, actually joined in the drinking.
This drink is really amazing.
Lin Long knew that the dragons had poor alcohol tolerance, even worse than her, but she didn't expect it to be that bad.
Before they had even had a few drinks, the three Dragon Dads, He Long, Will, and Ed, were already flushed and feeling drunk.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but unfortunately, once these three dragon dads got drunk, their human forms became unstable.
Lin Long watched helplessly as his always elegant father, Ed, suddenly sprouted a dark green tail, swaying back and forth behind him. What else could it be but a tree dragon's tail?!
Lin Long almost spit out the wine he had taken! !
She rushed over and hugged her tree dragon father's dragon tail and was about to hide behind the sofa. She was already screaming in her heart. She wanted to shake her tree dragon father Ed's shoulders madly, asking him to cheer up and not show his dragon tail ah ah ah ah ah!!!
Just after she hid herself and forced her tree dragon father to retract his tail, she turned around and was suffocated to see her black dragon father He Long, with a pair of dragon horns on his head, his hands crossed and his chin raised, staring at the wine bottle as if in deep thought.
Then, he pulled the cork of the bottle and poured the wine into his mouth in a very generous manner!
Ahhhh, He Long's dad is clearly drunk, yet he keeps drinking and drinking! You can drink, but don't expose your dragon horns to breathe!
Lin Long was suffocating as she snatched the wine bottle from her Black Dragon father's hand, and frantically asked her Black Dragon father to quickly retract the pair of dragon horns on his head!
However, this was not what made Lin Long crazy. What made Lin Long feel crazy was that she seemed to hear the voices of her father Huang Jinlong and Feng Shan complaining.
Yilong was complaining about how difficult it was to raise a cub. Raising a cub was not a big deal, what he hated most was that it was even more difficult to snatch the cub away. He just wanted the cub to kiss and hug him.
The other one complained about how difficult it was to raise his younger brother, and how his younger brother's precocity made him even more heartbroken. He cried and said that he had known for a long time that his younger brother was often bullied when they were on D Avenue, but he just didn't tell him about it. As an older brother, he had to pretend he didn't know, no matter how painful it was.
As the dragon and the man complained to each other, they felt a sense of sympathy and started crying like dogs in each other's arms.
If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Lin Long watched her golden dragon father cry until he actually grew a tail, horns, and even scales! !
Lin Long was so frightened that her soul almost flew away. She rushed forward and separated her dragon father Will and Feng Shan. She kept shaking her dragon father Will, forcing him to retract his tail, dragon horns and dragon scales!!!
After struggling for a while, Lin Long finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her dragon father Will finally retract all the dragon characteristics.
She looked at the brothers Feng Shan and Feng Feng with a guilty conscience, and found that they could drink about the same amount as her father Long and the others, and had already passed out early. Chu Qi, who had the best alcohol tolerance, had left and was no longer present. Only then did Lin Long feel completely relieved.
It was after this that Sister Chu Qi hurried over and stuffed the phone into her hand.
Seeing the screen full of "Sorry, Lin Long" and "Sorry, LongLong" on Weibo, Lin Long was stunned and subconsciously looked at Chu Qi in confusion.
After listening to Chu Qi's explanation, Lin Long looked at the screen full of "I'm sorry" again, stared at it for several seconds, and suddenly smiled freely.
She really didn't need other people's attention, but the screen full of "I'm sorry" on Weibo made Lin Long feel that she might be able to give a satisfactory answer to herself before she traveled to Dragon Island more than 120 years ago.
Just as Lin Long was smiling and about to post on her Weibo, a phone call suddenly came in.
It was an unfamiliar phone call without any notes, but Lin Long was in a good mood. Plus, it might be a call from Yang Yiyi's hospital, so she didn't think much about it and subconsciously pressed the answer button to answer the call. "Hello, this is Lin Long..."
However, before Lin Long could finish, a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice came over, saying painfully and cautiously:
"Longlong, it's me...your third brother..."
Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet, and the smile on Lin Long's face froze for a moment.
After a long silence, Lin Long finally spoke again, "I'm hanging up."
But as soon as these words came out, Lin Jiashu on the other end of the phone suddenly became very panicked and impatient, and said hurriedly:
"Wait, wait, Longlong, don't hang up, don't hang up the phone, please, give me a chance to speak, I really didn't know, I really didn't know the truth would be like this, Longlong, I was wrong, Third Brother was wrong..."
Lin Jiashu spoke anxiously, begging Lin Long to give her a chance to speak, a chance to explain. Seeing that Lin Long did not hang up the phone, he thought that she had acquiesced and that their relationship could still be saved, so he anxiously said a lot of "I'm sorry" and other apologies.
He also explained that he had actually always liked Lin Long, his younger sister, and he was just bewitched by Lin Zhuer. He had never expected that the truth was like this, but the complete opposite.
He will change and pamper her in the future. After all, Lin Long is his sister.
After saying that, Lin Jiashu waited for Lin Long's reply with great anticipation.
However, after waiting for a second, a very calm voice came from Lin Long:
"I've given you a chance to explain. Are you done? Then I'm hanging up."
"No, wait, Longlong, no, that's not right. Wait, don't hang up, don't hang up yet. Are you hating me, your third brother, for what happened at the charity dinner? I'm sorry, Longlong, I'm really sorry. You can hate me, but don't treat me like this. Can you give your third brother a chance? Longlong."
Lin Jiashu spoke painfully, his nerves became extremely tense, and even his voice was extremely cautious.
At this moment, everything that happened at the charity dinner a few months ago appeared in his mind very clearly, over and over again, very clearly, and it made him realize again and again how wrong he was.
At that time, his favorite sister Lin Long had such a pale face, with her disheveled clothes tightly clutched. She looked at him for help. She called out to him, "Third brother, save me, please save me!" The look in her eyes clearly showed that she regarded him as the last straw she could hold on to.
At that time, he clearly saw it all, he really saw it, but he still hesitated, wondering whether to save her.
But in the end, what did he do? Just because of Lin Zhu'er's aggrieved words, he turned a blind eye to her gaze and even pushed his beloved sister hard, causing her to fall onto the steps and bleed from her forehead!
What on earth had he done? How big a mistake had he made? He no longer dared to ask his son Longlong to forgive him all of a sudden. He was not qualified to do so. He had done too many wrong things, and they were too outrageous.
Just give him a chance, and he will make up for it all, and double up to make up for all the mistakes he made in the past. If my sister says go east, she will definitely not go west!
Really, if he were just given a chance, he would spend his whole life making up for it all and repairing their relationship, until one day, he could hear his Longlong again, timidly calling him "Third Brother" just like when he was first brought to the Lin family.
Lin Jiashu held his breath and waited for Lin Long's reply, waiting for her to say "OK" or scold him.
But the next moment, the voice coming from the phone made Lin Jiashu's heart suddenly cold and suffocated. He only heard Lin Long on the other side say in such an indifferent voice:
"No need. I've already forgotten what happened at the party. There's no need to get involved again."
"Oh, and, as I said, don't call me Longlong anymore. We're not that close. Please call me by my full name, Lin Long, or Miss Lin, or Mr. Lin."
