Chapter 66 Shen Jiaojiao is arrested for trespassing; Lin Muyan refuses private mediation.
Upon hearing this, the Shen couple's faces darkened, turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
Not far away, Shen Jiaojiao, who was being restrained by two police officers, was even more pale and was so frightened that she almost fainted.
She never expected things to turn out this way. She hadn't climbed the wall, or even gone into the yard, so why was she being arrested?
Will this leave a criminal record? How will she ever be able to work here again?
On second thought, Shen Jiaojiao began to hate the bodyguard, and her hatred for Lin Muyan intensified.
It's all Xu Jin's fault! I never noticed before, but he actually betrayed her. I'm going to tell Daddy and get him fired!
And then there's Lin Muyan. Relying on the police, she doesn't even respect her father and mother. Has she forgotten the Shen family's kindness in raising her for the past twenty years? How could she do this!
Lin Muyan would never budge no matter what she said; she had to teach Shen Jiaojiao a lesson she wouldn't forget.
Besides, so many people are watching today, and the residents' group is also paying attention to this matter. If she softens her heart and lets it go, then there will be plenty of people who will come and bully her in the future.
Shen Jiaojiao was essentially making an example of someone; she wanted to warn others that she wasn't someone to be trifled with.
The police were very responsible and ignored the Shen couple's attempts to intimidate them, escorting Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Jin away from the hillside villa.
The Shen couple felt as if the sky had fallen. Their daughter, whom they had just recognized, had been sent to the police station by Lin Muyan, and in front of so many people.
"Lin Muyan, you're truly remarkable! My Shen family will never let you get away with this!"
Mrs. Shen was also furious: "Lin Muyan, if you don't let Jiaojiao go, I won't let your Lin family go either. Switching children will also lead to a lawsuit. We'll see!"
Lin Muyan remained calm and unmoved.
We'll see how things go. Who's afraid of who?
She was actually hoping the Shen family would investigate the events of that year themselves, so she wouldn't have to put in the effort.
The end of the world is almost here. If you're so capable, hurry up and find out what happened back then before the end of the world. If you're unlucky and miss it, it doesn't matter. Her mother doesn't need the Shen family to understand her.
Even if they find out the truth about what happened back then, they can't possibly apologize to her mother publicly.
Ultimately, this is just a minor piece of gossip about a wealthy family, not enough to warrant widespread attention.
After the matter was resolved, the owners of the villas on the hillside all looked down on the Shen family.
'The Shen family has lost face big time this time. Has that Shen Jiaojiao lost her mind? What was she thinking?'
'If she were a child of my family, I would punish her severely; she has utterly disgraced the family!'
'She's the same age as Lin Muyan, but she's no match for her. I think the Shen family has not only lost face this time, but their future succession will also be a problem. How can children like this be entrusted with great responsibilities? Shen Shiqiu needs to find a way to have a second child quickly, otherwise his family business will be ruined sooner or later.'
Some old-money wealthy families in the group expressed their opinions, emphasizing the importance of having offspring to carry on the family line.
Shen Jiaojiao's behavior of making such a difficult choice to visit someone's home has opened the eyes of many people.
Lin Muyan casually swiped her phone a few times, exited the chat interface of the owners' group, and only then did she have time to glance at the bullet comments.
The barrage of comments started appearing even before the incident had fully unfolded.
At first, they naturally didn't believe it. They couldn't believe that Shen Jiaojiao would stay up late at night to commit petty theft.
But when Shen Jiaojiao was finally taken away by the police, the comments section was filled with disbelief and shock.
What is Shen Jiaojiao thinking? Could it be that she has discovered this is a safe house capable of withstanding the apocalypse and wants to take it for herself?
[Even if you know, you can't do it this way, right? If you want a safe house, you can build it yourself. With the Shen family's wealth, reinforcing their mansion shouldn't be a problem in the short term, right?]
[It seems this wasn't at the behest of the Shen family, which means it was all Jiaojiao's own doing. She's really disappointed me.]
[She's definitely gone astray. It must be Mrs. Shen who led her astray. Shen family, give me back my kind and lovely Jiaojiao!]
Lin Muyan looked at the comments and had nothing to say.
The current comments don't show Shen Jiaojiao's perspective; they have a bias towards Shen Jiaojiao, and the same goes for her.
But what they don't know is that sometimes, in good times and bad times, the same person can exhibit completely opposite states and become two completely different people. Good and evil are just a matter of a single thought.
Lin Muyan wasn't so idle as to investigate Shen Jiaojiao; she could do whatever she wanted.
As the onlookers gradually dispersed, Lin Muyan, seeing that it was getting late, decided to spend the night in the safe house and then go to the furniture market the next day to choose furniture and decorations so she could move in as soon as possible.
Turning her head, she saw that Wei Tuling hadn't left and was staring at her intently.
Wei Tuling and Fu Sinian should be the same age. They are among the few people in the wealthy circle who can be called "princelings".
Compared to Fu Sinian's flamboyant and handsome appearance, Wei Tuling has a more reserved look, with well-proportioned and steady features, and his big eyes are sincere, shining with the light of righteousness.
The moment he opened his mouth, his talkative and gossipy nature was revealed.
"Lin Muyan, I thought you would let Shen Jiaojiao off the hook for the sake of the Shen family. Everyone said that you must have been very wronged after being kicked out of the Shen family, and you would definitely try to return to the Shen family. It seems that you don't care about the Shen family at all."
Lin Muyan: ...
Why aren't you leaving yet?
Wei Tuling: "Yes, I called the police. You don't need to thank me right away. How about we exchange contact information first? I'll keep an eye on this house for you. If anyone from the Shen family comes, I'll notify you immediately."
Lin Muyan: ?
[Wait, who asked him? Wei Turing, who's supposed to awaken lightning-based powers in the future, is actually a goofball?]
[His lightning-based superpowers are among the highest tier of mutated abilities, but unfortunately, he awakened them too late. After the apocalypse began, his live-in nannies and housekeeper all betrayed him, using Wei Tuling's grandfather to threaten the entire family and seize their mansion. His grandfather died shortly afterward in the extreme cold storm.]
Yes, Grandpa was his closest relative. Although the Wei family eventually fought their way back to the villa on the hillside and reclaimed their home, the old man was gone, and the Wei family fell apart.
However, Jiaojiao and he didn't have much interaction, and we don't know what happened to him in the end.
Seeing the comments and looking at Wei Tuling's sincere face, Lin Muyan couldn't bear to ask him to leave. Instead, she took out her phone and added his contact information.
Wei Tuling grinned and, in front of Lin Muyan, changed her contact name to "Young Miss".
After thinking for a moment, Lin Muyan said:
"Anyway, thank you. You are more helpful than most people."
Wei Tuling smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No need to thank me, Miss Lin. I was just watching the show and happened to stand up for what was right. By the way, I noticed that your house seems to have undergone a lot of renovations, especially the exterior walls. I've never seen that material before."
Lin Muyan remembered that the Lin family was in real estate, so she thought for a moment and said:
“This material is hard to find, you probably won’t be able to find it, and it’s very expensive, so it’s not suitable for your real estate.”
After chatting for a few more minutes, Wei Turing waved goodbye.
Lin Muyan thought for a moment, and finally called out to him.
“Young Master Wei, you’ve been getting into trouble with some backstabbers lately. Be careful of outsiders in the family, especially in a month and a half.”
Wei Tuling was taken aback, feeling that Lin Muyan's reminder had a deeper meaning.
