"We suspect you of murdering Meng Xiyao. Please come with us."
Fu Yushen, pushed forward by Napa, frowned. What was going on?
Didn't Lan Shuo kill Meng Xiyao?
Why would they frame the young lady?
Someone wanted to chase after her, but then angrily turned to scold Fu Ran, "She skipped class to come and comfort you, and you treat her like this? Not only do you not appreciate it, but you argue with her?"
Fu Ran was stunned, and everyone else was also indignant.
"Young master, we saw you were in a bad mood, so we specially found Youran to comfort you. How could you make her leave?"
"We all heard outside, the young lady was comforting you with every word, and you were sharp-tongued, picking faults."
"Exactly, I think what Youran said makes sense."
Fu Ran's expression changed slightly as he looked towards the door, then he got up and chased after her.
Meanwhile, Lu Youran had just reached the bottom of the stairs and ran into two police officers.
She was then taken to the Public Security Bureau.
Interrogation room.
Several photos were placed in front of Wen Tingxue.
"Do you recognize this person?" the preliminary interrogator asked.
"Yes," Wen Tingxue nodded.
The preliminary interrogator said, "Around five this morning, someone found Meng Xiyao floating in the water. When she was retrieved, she was already dead.
She had several stab wounds to her abdomen. He called the police, and the police found the last call on the deceased's phone was to you. So, did you kill Meng Xiyao?"
The preliminary interrogator suddenly looked up, his sharp gaze fixed on her.
Wen Tingxue's face turned slightly pale as she shook her head, "No."
"No?" the preliminary interrogator tapped the table with a half-smile. "As far as we know, the deceased drugged you before she died, almost leading to you being gang-raped. Is that correct?"
Wen Tingxue nodded, her palms moist, "Yes."
"The deceased did something so outrageous to you, didn't you consider revenge?" the preliminary interrogator narrowed his eyes at her.
That gaze was palpable, as if it could pierce through all lies and falsehoods.
Wen Tingxue, not yet experienced in the world and barely an adult, couldn't withstand such questioning. Her face instantly turned pale, but she still insisted,
"No, if I retaliated against her, wouldn't I be just like her?"
"And you didn't consider killing her?"
"No."
"Then why are your fingerprints on the dagger?!" the preliminary interrogator suddenly slammed the table, his tone as sharp as a blade, making Wen Tingxue feel disoriented.
"What dagger?"
A criminal police officer, who had been taking notes, picked up a dagger from the table, which was in a evidence bag, and showed it to Wen Tingxue.
Wen Tingxue carefully identified it for a moment and said, "This is for self-defense, but I lost this dagger the day before yesterday."
"How did you lose it? Where did you lose it?" the preliminary interrogator stared into her eyes and asked.
Wen Tingxue met his gaze without blinking, "The day I was drugged, I lost it at a KTV. Because the drug was taking effect, I tried to harm myself with it, but my boyfriend came, and I just dropped it."
At this time, it was just past midnight in Country Y.
Chi Zerui was partying on a luxury cruise ship, surrounded by beauties.
Hao Luo'er stood beside him, occasionally advising him to drink less.
Everything was going well until Qiao Xixi sent a message to Hao Luo'er: "Can't contact Chi Zerui, Xiaoxue is in trouble!"
Hao Luo'er didn't dare to delay and walked up to Chi Zerui. Chi Zerui initially wanted to push her away, but after seeing the message she handed him, he immediately pushed all the beauties away and walked outside.
Imperial Capital University.
Mu Chen saw the group chat as soon as he woke up and called his master without delay.
Jiang Yingqing listened and smiled, "Don't worry, the little girl will be fine."
Not long after, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau received a call from the mayor and respectfully asked, "What are your instructions?"
The mayor got straight to the point, "Did you apprehend a young girl today?"
The director: "?"
What young girl?
"I'll investigate immediately!" The director didn't dare to ask further and quickly sent someone to investigate today's case.
He then received word that two young girls had indeed been brought in and were being interrogated.
The director was vexed. Who were these girls that the mayor himself was personally inquiring about!
The mayor said, "Children are timid and shouldn't do such things. You must investigate thoroughly and carefully. Do not wrong a good person!"
The director repeatedly agreed.
After finally hanging up the phone, the next second, the deputy director hurried in.
"Fourth Master Han is here!"
"What!?" The director hadn't even sat down properly and quickly got up to greet him.
Just as he reached the door, before he could even speak, Fu Yuchuan walked in, "Good morning, Director."
The director: ...
What kind of day was this?
Why were so many influential people arriving one after another?!
"Good, good, good!"
The director, not daring to offend anyone, nodded and then asked, "May I ask the two of you...?"
Han Xianyun: "Do you have a person named Wen Tingxue here?"
Fu Yuchuan: "Do you have a person named Wen Tingxue here?"
Han Xianyun: "..." Bad luck.
Fu Yuchuan: "..." Bad luck.
The director: "..."
Why was it Wen Tingxue again?!
The mayor called about her!
The heads of the two major families in the Imperial Capital personally came for her!
What kind of background did this young girl have!!
Before he could figure it out, Lin Wanqing and Chi Ye entered one after another, followed by Han Yan and Song You, and then the eldest young master of the Fu family, Fu Yushen, lagging a few steps behind.
It was rumored that he rarely went out, but today he made a rare appearance.
As for the other two, the director didn't recognize them, but judging by their demeanor, the young man was definitely extraordinary.
"Uh..." the director awkwardly looked around and directly asked, "You all came for Wen Tingxue, didn't you?"
Several influential figures nodded in unison, and the director felt his world collapse.
With so many influential figures escorting her, if the young girl was mistreated here, would he be able to retire immediately?
Oh heavens! He was only forty this year! He didn't want to raise fish yet!!
-
Interrogation concluded.
Wen Tingxue was brought out unharmed, and the director breathed a sigh of relief.
His gaze towards the young girl automatically carried a caption—
Wen Tingxue, the extraordinary woman who could mobilize all the influential figures in the Imperial Capital.
