After discussing the matter thoroughly with Chen Lan, it was already quite dark.
Su Yu yawned wearily. As soon as she stepped into the house, she saw Ling Mo leaning against the railing at the top of the stairs, chatting casually with Aunt Wu.
"Aunt Wu, do you want to quit? You just sit there chatting all day, have you even finished your work?"
Su Yu's expression changed drastically, her sharp voice revealing a hint of cruelty.
Upon hearing this, Wu Ma quickly stuffed the red envelope that Ling Mo had forced on her into her pocket. After calming herself down, she turned around and explained to Su Yu in a serious and methodical manner:
"Madam, you've misunderstood. I've been cleaning with Sister Zhang and the others all night."
"Wow, you've got quite a few excuses!"
Su Yu rolled her eyes inelegantly and deliberately provoked, "Working for the Ling family, you haven't accomplished a single proper task, but you've certainly received plenty of red envelopes."
“Auntie, it’s just a matter of social obligation, why be so fussy? Wu Ma had a grandson yesterday, and I was happy for her, so I took out all my pocket money to give her a red envelope. Can’t I even share in her joy?” Ling Mo curled her lips into a slant, her bright peach blossom eyes reflecting the lights in the room, dazzling like glass.
Su Yu was speechless after being choked by Ling Mo, so she vented her anger on Wu Ma.
She crossed her arms, instantly adopting the air of the matriarch of the Ling family, and said imperiously:
“Aunt Wu, let me ask you this: where did my new diamond earrings from last month go? Do you know that pair of earrings is worth over ten thousand? If they’re lost, I’ll hold you responsible.”
"Madam, I'm innocent! I definitely didn't take that earring."
Aunt Wu defended herself, looking aggrieved.
Normally, she would have definitely blamed Ling Mo without hesitation.
The problem is that she just accepted Ling Mo's red envelope, and turning her back on him now seems rather heartless.
With no other options, Wu Ma had no choice but to swallow her anger and lower her head, letting Su Yu vent her frustration.
Ling Mo coldly watched the growing rift between the two, his smile deepening.
As Su Yu's confidante, Wu Ma must have many weaknesses in Su Yu's hands.
Perhaps only by starting with Wu Ma can she possibly uncover the truth behind her mother's accidental death seventeen years ago...
After giving Wu Ma a thorough dressing-down, Su Yu glanced at Ling Mo, who was standing silently to the side.
For some reason, she always felt that there was a hint of amusement in Ling Mo's eyes, which made her very uncomfortable.
Just as she was about to bypass Ling Mo and go upstairs to wash up, she suddenly heard the sound of police sirens outside the door.
"Why are police cars parked outside our house so late at night?"
Su Yu turned around and, through the half-open door, glimpsed the red and blue indicator lights on the police car's roof. She muttered something in a slightly confused manner.
At the same time, Ling Yunlong also came out of the study on the second floor and asked in a deep voice:
"What's going on?"
"Who knows? These days, nothing is safe anywhere; anything can happen."
Su Yu, adhering to the principle of "it's none of my business," replied casually.
She had barely finished speaking when several police officers who had been on duty arrived at her door and entered:
"Excuse me, everyone."
"What happened?" Ling Yunlong frowned, walked quickly to the police officer, and asked in a low voice.
"According to relevant clues provided by informed sources, your wife is suspected of hiring someone to kidnap you at the Emperor Hotel. We hope you will cooperate with the investigation."
"Officer, you can't have made a mistake, can you?"
Ling Yunlong seemed somewhat bewildered, never expecting that Su Yu would be involved with the group of armed kidnappers at the Emperor Hotel.
The lead police officer immediately produced a detailed account statement, pointing to the transaction information on it, and stated with clear evidence:
"After extensive investigation, this account transaction record is not suspected of being falsified. Among them, about three days before the armed robbers caused a disturbance at the Emperor Hotel, around 1 p.m., Madam transferred 800,000 yuan to the account of Lin Bao, a Taoist priest at Hanshan Temple. At 3 p.m. on the same day, Lin Bao transferred another 800,000 yuan to the overseas account of the armed robbers."
"Could I see the transfer record?"
Ling Yunlong's face darkened; he still couldn't believe that Su Yu would do something so absurd.
The police officer nodded slightly and then handed the transfer record to Ling Yunlong. "The evidence is conclusive. We hope that your wife can cooperate with the police investigation and come with us to the station."
"Yunlong, I did not do such a thing! I swear, someone must have framed me."
Su Yu panicked completely, hurriedly grabbing Ling Yunlong's arm, her sharp, triangular eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
She had thought the matter should have been resolved long ago.
Unexpectedly, someone actually got hold of her and Lin Bao's transfer records!
Ling Yunlong carefully examined the transfer records and was surprised to find that, apart from transferring 800,000 yuan to Lin Bao on October 21, Su Yu would deposit 60,000 yuan into his account on the first of every month.
In addition, Su Yu wired two sums of money to her former agent Zhao Jingchun on the evening of October 21 and October 22, totaling three million yuan.
What he found even more unacceptable was that he had just transferred five million to Lin Bao's account today, and Lin Bao immediately transferred three million of it to Su Yu's account!
