Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Yin anxiously waited, overwhelmed by fear. This unexpected situation had spiraled out of control, and she never imagined herself ending up at the police station.
Outside, Song Ting and Song Fan sat across from each other, while their respective lawyers engaged in a heated argument. Amidst this tense situation, the phone rang simultaneously.
Song Ting hurriedly answered the call and reassured, “Aunt Meng, I’m currently at the police station.”
“Song Ting, please bring Yin Yin back home,” Meng Yu implored. “She called me before coming here. She must be frightening.”
Song Ting, showing courtesy to his stepmother, readily agreed, “Don’t worry,
I’ll make sure Yin Yin returns home safely.”
Song Fan, who overheard this conversation, maintained a stoic expression but harbored disdainful thoughts. Meng Yu had an exceptional talent for feigning innocence. She had already set up a scapegoat with Song Ting’s unwitting help. However, covering up everything this time wouldn’t be as straightforward.
After the call, Song Ting settled back into his seat and inquired, “Is it possible for you to negotiate with the police to allow Yin Yin to return home temporarily? I’ll take responsibility for her and ensure she doesn’t leave the house.”
Song Fan remained silent, while Qi Shuo swiftly responded, “Mr. Song, respectfully, I must point out that while Miss Song Yin claims innocence, the current evidence appears to implicate her. We can’t solely rely on your familial relationship to determine her innocence. Remember, my client has suffered the most.”
Aware that his request might be excessive, Song Ting still felt a brotherly duty to look after his younger sister. He could handle Song Fan’s situation, but he couldn’t leave Song Yin alone at the police station.
As Song Ting grappled with his dilemma, Song Fan interjected, “I’m afraid I can’t assist in such negotiations with the police. I’ve already been deeply affected by the rumors. Now that I’ve finally apprehended the suspect, even if she turns out to be innocent, she must have some connections involved. I can’t allow her to leave the police station.”
Upon hearing this, Song Ting fell into thoughtful silence. From Song Fan’s perspective, her stance was reasonable and in her best interest.
Just when Song Ting was at a loss for words, a voice echoed from outside the door. “I’m here to find my sister. Is my sister, Song Yin, here?”
Song Ting swiftly stepped out and chided, “Why are you shouting? Come inside.”
Upon seeing his older brother, Song Kai promptly quieted down and followed him inside. He then asked in surprise, “Song Fan, why are you here as well?” “Miss Song Fan came to the police station as a victim,” Qi Shuo explained.
Song Kai immediately inquired, “I heard from the servants at home that Yin
Yin was taken away by the police. Could it be because of the rumors?”
His thoughts raced as he connected the dots. Song Fan had previously mentioned her intention to hire a lawyer and sue the person responsible for spreading the rumors. It seemed that she had come to the police station after identifying the culprit. But what did this have to do with Yin Yin?
“The police informed me that the IP address linked to the rumor post traced back to the Song residence, specifically from Song Yin’s computer. That’s why I came here,” Song Fan casually replied.
Song Kai quickly refuted, “That can’t be right. Yin Yin is so well-behaved; she wouldn’t do something like this.”
Song Fan wasn’t surprised by his defense. The entire Song Family had been deceived by the mother and daughter for years, and it was not easy for them to see through their schemes immediately.
However, this time was different. Song Kai began to doubt himself after defending Song Yin. Upon recalling her past interactions with him, he couldn’t help but wonder if she was as obedient as she appeared to be. Perhaps she had her own thoughts and knew how to manipulate those around her.
“Did the police mention any suspects?” Song Kai asked softly.
Song Ting removed his glasses and rubbed his temples. “Yin Yin claimed she didn’t post that content, so the police are investigating the rest of the family. We should have more information soon.
Song Kai hesitated, considering Song Yin’s capability to make false accusations. He felt she could frame someone within the household. However, the memory of her kindness and consideration at home gave him pause, making it difficult to voice his suspicions.
Meanwhile, Song Fan had no time to dwell on these matters. She was merely waiting for the scapegoat to emerge, intending to exploit the situation further. Her plan would proceed smoothly once she could orchestrate a public spectacle.
As expected, it didn’t take long for the police to bring in a household servant. Upon locking them in an interrogation room, they explained, “Miss Song, this servant confessed to using Song Yin’s computer to post the rumors. She claimed you mistreated her at home, and this was her way of seeking revenge.”
After hearing this explanation, Song Fan almost burst into laughter. She had only returned to the Song Family for less than three days, and she couldn’t recall any incident in which she had mistreated the servant..
