Chapter 8
"Hello, is Miss Lin Yiyi home?"
Two policemen suddenly appeared at the Lin family's house in the north of the city.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you, Yiyi?"
When Wen Qingrou saw the two of them, her heart skipped a beat and she felt uneasy.
"Someone reported to the police that Miss Lin Yiyi is suspected of maliciously instigating others to steal. We have witnesses and evidence. Miss Lin Yiyi, please come with us."
Wen Qingrou wanted to defend her daughter, but she saw Lin Yiyi running away. Seeing this, two policemen rushed forward, took Lin Yiyi down, and handcuffed her.
The situation was urgent. Wen Qingrou looked worried and rushed forward to save Lin Yiyi, but was stopped by the police.
"We are just conducting a routine inquiry. Please do not resist. Otherwise, it will be considered assaulting a police officer and intentionally fleeing. We can close the case immediately."
Hearing this, Wen Qingrou froze instantly, quickly let go of her hand, and frantically explained,
"I won't do anything, Yiyi must have been wronged. Can I go with you? I want to accompany her."
Wen Qingrou gave some instructions to the housekeeper.
"Uncle Wang, please contact the master immediately and save Yiyi. She can't go to jail. This is a stain on her life."
Arriving at the police station, Lin Yiyi saw Liu Cuifen who was also arrested. She immediately understood what was going on. The grievances in her heart instantly turned into resentment. She rushed towards Liu Cuifen and couldn't hold her back. She grabbed Liu Cuifen's neck fiercely.
"It's you, isn't it? I kindly reminded you to go see Lin Sheng, and you turned around and sold me out? If I go in, you won't have an easy life either!"
Liu Cuifen was strangled tightly and could not move. Her hands gradually lost strength, her face turned red, and she was almost suffocated.
Wen Qingrou was frightened by her daughter's momentum, fearing that it would cause a bigger disaster, and hurried forward to hold Lin Yiyi.
"Yiyi, let go, let go quickly! If you strangle her to death, your life will be over."
"Wow, it's so lively here! What a dog-eat-dog scene! How many years do you plan to stay in jail after you strangle her to death?"
Extremely sarcastic words came from outside the door, not giving the people in the room any face at all.
Lin Yiyi instantly let go of her hand and looked towards the door with a cold look in her eyes. She saw a familiar figure slowly entering the door.
"It's you, Lin Sheng. You dare to call the police to arrest me? What evidence do you have to prove that I ordered it?"
"Audio recordings, witnesses, videos, and dashcams—everything you want, I have it."
As Lin Sheng spoke, she placed the evidence in front of everyone one by one. The person following behind her was the taxi driver from yesterday.
"What about the stealing? I didn't order her to do it! Don't spit blood on her."
Lin Sheng showed a seemingly friendly smile, but it made everyone present feel their scalps tingle.
"That was a conspiracy between you and her. I know nothing about it. The only thing I know for sure is that Liu Cuifen stole blue and white porcelain worth two million, and you were the one behind it. You can't escape responsibility."
As soon as the words came out, Lin Yiyi glared at Liu Cuifen fiercely and cursed,
"You are so greedy that you want to swallow an elephant, and now you want to drag me down with you. I was trying to help you out of kindness, but you turned around and hurt me. You really don't know what's good for you! Why didn't you just die sooner?"
Facing the wealthy and powerful Lin family, Liu Cuifen did not dare to talk back. Now she realized that she had been badly tricked by Lin Sheng. She hated Lin Sheng so much that her teeth itched.
"You set me up on purpose. I felt sorry for you and your daughter and kindly lent you money for your medical treatment. Now look what you've done, it's like the farmer and the snake. Just like your mother, you're vicious and have done us a lot of harm!"
Liu Cuifen became more and more angry. As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed towards Lin Sheng, wanting to strangle her to death.
But he was restrained by someone and could not move. He could only hear the man's low voice, and the words were full of pressure.
"This is the police station, not a market. If you kill someone, you must pay with your life. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in jail, then behave yourself."
Lin Sheng saw someone coming and reminded them,
"Officer Xu, everything has been investigated and the case can be closed. I only have one request: that they be locked up and that's it."
Hearing this, the two of them panicked. Wen Qingrou's eyes were filled with worry. She immediately rushed to Lin Sheng, clasped her hands together, tears welling up in her eyes, and pleaded hoarsely,
"Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, please don't do this to your sister. We were wrong before. If you want to hit or scold her, come to me. Yiyi is still young and cannot have any stain on her. Please forgive her this time. I promise that she will never go against you again. Give us a chance to reconcile, okay?"
As he said this, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng dodged flexibly and said calmly,
"Auntie, you can't just claim kinship with random people. I have no relationship with the Lin family, and I can't even be called a sister to Lin Yiyi. How can we ordinary people claim to be related to the Lin family in the north of the city?"
Seeing this, Lin Yiyi hurriedly helped Wen Qingrou up and said in a harsh tone,
"Mom, why did you kneel down to her? It's obvious that she was trying to frame me."
“Bang!”
Wen Qingrou slapped Lin Yiyi loudly with her backhand, feeling anxious and disappointed. Seeing the slap mark on Lin Yiyi's face, she felt her heart tighten, but she still had to discipline her.
"I've spoiled you too much, which is why you've developed such a rude temper. Hurry up and apologize to Xiao Sheng. Do you really want to go to jail?"
Lin Yiyi naturally understood Wen Qingrou's intention. If Lin Sheng didn't let go, she would definitely not be able to escape this disaster. She was full of resentment and blamed Lin Sheng. She suppressed her inner resentment and apologized with gritted teeth.
"sorry."
These three short words were squeezed out from between Lin Yiyi's teeth, without a trace of sincerity.
Liu Cuifen didn't dare to say anything more. She could only kneel on the ground and tug at Lin Sheng's sleeve, trying to continue playing the emotional card.
Lin Yiyi suddenly felt a strange touch and was so scared that she stepped back. Then she saw a dog-like thing rushing towards her. Liu Cuifen had no time to hide and retreated backwards.
The two of them crashed directly into the desk behind them. The heavy documents on the desk fell and hit the bag beside the desk accurately. A crisp cracking sound was heard by everyone, and the bulging bag deflated.
Liu Cuifen's eyes widened instantly, and she felt something was wrong. She crawled closer to check the condition of the blue and white porcelain, then fell to the ground in a daze.
"It's over, it's over. It's completely over now."
Lin Yiyi, on the other hand, didn't take it seriously. She frowned slightly and stood aside, saying something sarcastic.
"A few broken bottles are so precious to you. You really haven't seen the world."
Lin Sheng clapped his hands and cheered, with a smile on his face.
"Of course, I can't compare to Miss Lin's broad knowledge. It's only two million. I believe the Lin family can afford it."
Lin Yiyi's expression froze instantly. Being able to pay and really having to pay were two different concepts. Her face was filled with disbelief.
"Why should I pay? It was this beast that bumped into me, and I haven't even asked you for mental damages yet, but you're already biting me back."
Lin Sheng bent down, scratched Wangcai's chin, and spoke in a relaxed tone,
"It seems you don't want to reconcile, Officer Xu. In my opinion, we can close the case."
Wen Qingrou stopped Lin Yiyi and stood in front of her. She glared at her and turned to Lin Sheng and said in a gentle voice,
"Let's settle. We'll pay the two million."
"Auntie is still sensible."
Lin Sheng achieved his goal, looked at Lin Yiyi with a provocative look, turned around and threw a sentence to Liu Cuifen,
"As for you, I don't ask for much. Just give me the old house left by my grandmother."
Liu Cuifen was immediately pulled back to her senses and refused without hesitation.
"Impossible! That's what the old woman left for us, why should I give it to you!"
Hearing her answer, Lin Sheng frowned frivolously, not caring at all about Liu Cuifen's rude tone, and spread his hands.
"Since you don't intend to cooperate, there's nothing I can do."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Guannan gave a look and the two police officers beside him immediately took action, ready to take Liu Cuifen away.
"Leave me alone! Isn't it okay if I agree?"
Although she compromised verbally, Liu Cuifen held a grudge against Lin Sheng in her heart and started to make plans in her heart.
The matter was settled.
As soon as Lin Yiyi walked out of the police station, she pointed at Lin Sheng's nose and threatened him.
"I've taken note of what happened today. I'll tell Dad when I get back and ask him to teach you a lesson for me."
“Bang!”
A figure stepped forward and gave Lin Yiyi another loud slap. The man in front of her scolded her.
"Have you had enough of this? Go home and reflect on your actions. I'll freeze your credit card for the next two months. Let's see if you can still cause trouble outside."
Wen Qingrou's eyes instantly turned red, and she caressed Lin Yiyi's face distressedly, her words full of distress as she asked the man,
"Lin Zheng, why did you hit Yiyi? Don't you feel bad if you hurt her? She's already suffered enough injustice today."
Mr. Lin's face turned red with anger. He met Wen Qingrou's gaze and could only shake his head helplessly.
"It's because you spoiled her too much that she kept causing trouble for Shengsheng. Take her back now."
Wen Qingrou knew she was in the wrong and didn't dare to argue too much. She could only take Lin Yiyi into the car first.
Lin Sheng and Xu Guannan walked out of the police station together, smiling.
"Thanks to Officer Xu for your help this time. I'll treat you to a nice meal next time."
"Shengsheng."
Before Lin Sheng finished speaking, a steady voice came to his ears. Following the voice, he saw a man in a dark brown suit standing in front of the door of the Lin family's special car.
Judging from his age, you can tell that this is his scumbag father.
Lin Sheng didn't intend to pay attention to him. He simply said a few words to Xu Guannan and prepared to leave.
"Shengsheng, Dad has something to tell you."
Lin Zheng called her again.
"My father is dead and I'm an orphan. Uncle, please don't try to be my relative."
This answer made Lin Zheng stunned. He didn't expect Lin Sheng to be so heartless. For a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Shengsheng, why are you talking to Dad? I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?"
"As you can see, I'm not destitute, I'm not starving on the streets, and if you hadn't shown up, I would have been better off."
Lin Zheng's words were on the tip of his tongue, but Lin Sheng choked them back and said with an awkward smile,
"I won't do that again. Come back when you have time. Dad misses you."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng frowned and immediately raised his hand to stop him.
"Stop it, I only accept dreams, or I burn paper for you. Are you trying to get close to me and forgive the two million? I advise you to give up this idea, otherwise it will only be more next time. Bye, never see you again!"
Wangcai immediately followed, and when he passed by Lin Zheng, he did not forget to spit at him.
On the way home, Lin Sheng accidentally came across a golden Buddha statue and was surprised.
"Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth? Asking the old deity to protect the house, how much this family wants a child."
