Chapter 78 Bai's Father is Arrested
After leaving the amusement park, Bai Zhenzhu felt uneasy, with a persistent soreness and tightness in her chest.
Even when Su Yi spoke to her several times, she was not in the right state of mind.
Back in the dorm, without even changing his clothes, he lay down on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Yin Jiaxi asked her in confusion, "Pearl, didn't you go to the amusement park with your senior? Why don't you look so happy?"
Bai Zhenzhu slowly turned her head and said seriously, "Jiaxi, I saw Shi Jin at the amusement park."
"Oh, so what? Didn't you say you didn't care about him?"
"I don't care about him anymore, but he, he..."
"What's wrong with him? Tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense!"
"He's back with Li Qianni, and Shi Jin even kissed her!"
"Holy crap! They kissed? Is Shi Jin starving?! Li Qianni's practically a slut, isn't he afraid of getting diseases?!"
Bai Zhenzhu was also very curious about what Shi Jin was thinking.
Could it be that Li Qianni's transformation into a pariah suddenly aroused his protective instincts and rekindled his love?
Regardless of the reason, she didn't want to provoke Shi Jin anymore.
If Shi Jin likes Li Qianni so much, then let those two flies lock each other up!
But Bai Zhenzhu had barely made up her mind for two seconds when her brother called.
"Hey bro, what's up?"
"Pearl, something's happened! Daddy's been taken away by the inspectors!"
"What?!"
...
When Bai Zhenzhu rushed home, only her mother was sitting on the sofa, crying uncontrollably.
The older brother has already gone to the detention center to negotiate.
But Bai Zhenzhu knew that the hope was slim.
Once someone is taken away because of their father's identity, it's highly likely that there's some solid evidence against them, and the chances of them being released are very slim.
"Mom, what exactly happened? How could Dad be taken away? Didn't he say he was going to retire and that the most important thing was to retire smoothly without any mistakes?"
The mother choked up twice, then spoke haltingly, "It's...it's because your father was foolishly tricked and made a scapegoat, that's why...that's why he was taken away. Pearl, what are we going to do now? Your father has high blood pressure and a bad heart, will he be able to take it?"
"You were set up? By whom?"
Seeing her mother's evasive eyes and hesitant answers, Bai Zhenzhu immediately understood.
It must be Li Qianni who did this!
"Is he Li Qianni's father?! Is he?!"
Knowing that this couldn't be kept secret any longer, Mom could only nod resignedly.
"I'm going to find Li Qianni's father right now. I need to get to the bottom of this! We can't let him ruin our Bai family like this!"
Although Bai Zhenzhu had no feelings for her father, this matter was very serious, and the Bai family might decline from then on, ruining her and her brother's future.
The mother immediately grabbed Bai Zhenzhu's arm, crying and shaking her head, saying, "It's no use, Zhenzhu, it's no use. This time it was handled by people from above. Your father has no connections, while Li Qianni's father has such strong connections. Who would believe that your father is innocent?"
"So what? So we just do nothing and wait for Dad to be sued?"
"Pearl, listen to me, don't get involved in this! Your brother and I will handle it."
"How are you and your brother going to resolve this?! I'm a doctor, and you're just a helpless housewife. Tell me, how are you two going to resolve this?!"
Seeing her mother's submissive attitude, Bai Zhenzhu hated Li Qianni even more.
She knew that her father was taken away because he had angered her a few days ago by saying that Li Qianni was using drugs, and that he was deliberately retaliating against her.
Bai Zhenzhu took out her phone and called Li Qianni directly, but Li Qianni didn't answer.
Then she had no choice but to go find Li Qianni herself!
She sat in a taxi, preparing to take a ride back to school.
While browsing my WeChat Moments, I happened to see a status update posted by Li Qianni.
It's a photo of two hands clinking glasses while holding Heytea. One hand undoubtedly belongs to Li Qianni, while the other hand...
Bai Zhenzhu recognized him; it was Shi Jin's!
Shi Jin has a black birthmark on the ring finger of her left hand. She used to tease him, saying that it was a ring tattooed on her, which would save her money when they got married!
Bai Zhenzhu glanced at the location below the photo again; it was in Kyoto's largest shopping mall.
Bai Zhenzhu angrily put away her phone, gave the driver her location again, and then the car headed straight for the mall.
...
The mall was huge, and Bai Zhenzhu searched for a long time before finally spotting Li Qianni and Shi Jin in the Patek Philippe store on the third floor.
Through the window, Bai Zhenzhu saw Shi Jin being surrounded by a group of saleswomen, while Li Qianni was excitedly selecting watches.
Ha, how ridiculous. Didn't Shi Jin used to think that Li Qianni was pure and untainted by the mud, a girl who wasn't materialistic?
Are they starting to fish for it now?
Bai Zhenzhu took out a mirror, tidied her appearance, took a deep breath, and walked in with haughty steps.
As soon as she entered, the saleswoman began to scrutinize her from head to toe. Seemingly realizing that Bai Zhenzhu was not a potential customer, she listlessly turned to serve Li Qianni.
Bai Zhenzhu raised an eyebrow indifferently and continued walking inside until she reached Li Qianni's back.
She cleared her throat and coughed, and instantly everyone turned to look at her with scrutiny and suspicion.
When Shi Jin saw Bai Zhenzhu appear here, he didn't seem very surprised; he was unusually calm.
Bai Zhenzhu looked at Li Qianni with a provocative gaze and said sarcastically, "Li Qianni, didn't Sun Yixiao serve you well? Are you serving two husbands at the same time?"
Then, turning to meet Shi Jin's deep eyes, she continued to mock, "Young Master Shi, you're really in good shape. You're sleeping with Guo Guo while you're here coaxing Li Qianni. As far as I know, Guo Guo comes from the nightlife scene, and Li Qianni has acted in such a wonderful erotic film with Sun Yixiao. I'm just reminding you, you should go to the hospital for a check-up when you have time, or you might end up with a host of health problems!"
Finally, she clicked her tongue a few times at the two of them, rolling her eyes in disgust as if they were something dirty.
"White Pearl! Watch your mouth! I think it's your heart that makes your mouth so filthy! I know you must be jealous that I can receive such an expensive watch." As she said this, Li Qianni proudly shook the shiny watch on her wrist.
"Let me tell you, Shi Jin has already confessed to me. Shi Jin is my boyfriend now, and I will be the young mistress of the Shi family in the future! You will never be as good as me, not even the man you find is as good as me! That Su Yizheng, his parents are just lowly civil servants, how can he compare to the Shi family's century-old foundation? And don't talk about being worth over 100 million. Shi Jin has been worth hundreds of millions since birth. Su Yizheng has struggled for more than 20 years and has only just reached Shi Jin's starting point!"
Although Shi Jin didn't have a good impression of Li Qianni, what she just said really resonated with him.
He was very satisfied, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.
Although Bai Zhenzhu was angry, the important matter was that she couldn't waste any more time arguing with her. She needed to find a secluded place to get the details about her father.
So he raised his hand, grabbed Li Qianni's arm, and pulled her away.
"White Pearl! Are you crazy?! Let go of me! What are you trying to do?"
"What am I going to do? I'm going to kill you!"
No matter how much Li Qianni resisted, Bai Zhenzhu was determined to take her away.
As soon as she lifted her foot to take a step, her hand was pressed down by an even stronger hand.
Bai Zhenzhu winced in pain, then turned to look at Shi Jin, who had a sly look on his face...
