Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What did you say?” The factory owner looked at Ling Xue in disbelief. “We’re at the police station. Don’t talk nonsense! Do you know how long they’ll put me in jail? You were the one who instructed me to fake it!”

Ling Xue unhurriedly took out her phone from her pocket and played a video.

“Who are you? Let me out, let me out! Please! Stop!!”

“Daddy, save me! Save me! Please stop fighting!”

In the video, Wang Chao had been beaten black and blue and kept begging for mercy.

When his father saw the video, he wanted to rush over and tear Ling Xue apart.

“What are you doing?! Where is my son?! Where is he?!” He roared angrily, but he was handcuffed and couldn’t move. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺

“Shh! If others hear this…” Ling Xue looked at him with a half-smile. “Look, it’s useless even if you point fingers at me. Would the police arrest me? What’s the point in fairness and justice?”

After two minutes, the other party finally calmed down. “What do you want?”

Ling Xue smiled even brighter this time. “I want you to tell me the truth. I was implicated for no reason.”

With the other party’s resentful face, Ling Xue said with some difficulty, “If it isn’t you, then Wang Chao must have been the one who deceived me. I helped his family’s factory that couldn’t make ends meet because we were classmates. Does that mean he’s the main culprit?”

“No, I can’t be! This matter has nothing to do with him!” The factory owner slumped in his chair. He knew that his life was over.

He looked at Ling Xue in despair. “It’s my fault. I lied to you. It has nothing to do with my son!”

Hearing his words, Ling Xue stood up and smiled sweetly at him.

However, when she left the interrogation room, she put on a pitiful look again.

Pei Yu hurried forward. “How is it? Are you alright? What did he tell you?”

Ling Xue nodded, her voice choked. “He said that because the factory was unable to make ends meet, he wanted to make use of me to make a fortune. I didn’t expect him to do that. Wang Chao and I were high school classmates for three years. I thought…”

She covered her face and cried. Pei Yu hugged her and comforted her. He said to the police officer beside him, “My sister’s pocket money is even more than that family’s yearly income. Why would she fake it? You should investigate properly.”

The other party smiled and nodded outwardly, but he did not agree inwardly.

However, with the Pei family backing her up, the police would not be able to do anything to her.

After a while, Ling Xue asked to see Lu Li.

She knew the importance of seeing him. The more she appeared to be there for him, the more grateful Lu Li would be to her freewebn ovel.c om

“Ling Xue! Why are you here?” Lu Li was in distress.

Lu Li had been deceived from the beginning to the end and had no idea what Ling Xue had done. No matter what, to him, Ling Xue was always on the short end of the stick — always being deceived. Even though they were in the police station, he still insisted that he and Ling Xue were innocent.

In just one day, Lu Li had turned haggard. Ling Xue held his hand and said, “I should have come to see you earlier, but when I heard that you were caught, 1 fainted. As soon as I woke up, I begged my brother to bring me here.”

Her words were sincere and her eyes were brimming with tears, which made Lu Li’s heart ache.

“Ho back quickly. These police officers still want to talk to me. They’re not giving the Lu family any face at all.” Lu Li looked dispirited. “My parents are overseas. I don’t know when Lu Huai will be able to get me out. The bail is too much for me to cover it. Only he has the money.”

Hundreds of thousands of sets of makeup were worth tens of millions of dollars. The police station would not agree to bail them out at will. Even if they were to bail them out, the amount would be ungodly.

None of Lu Li’s friends were willing to bail him out, so he had no choice but to stay in the police station.

Ling Xue had already heard about this. She quickly said, “Lu Li, my parents didn’t give me much money. Even if I had to beg others or borrow money, I’d do it if it meant getting you out of here.”

Lu Li held her hand tightly, not knowing what to say.

“Don’t be afraid. You’ve always been the one protecting me. It’s finally my turn to protect you.” Ling Xue looked at him sadly. “I was deceived too, but this has nothing to do with you. I’ll definitely explain it all to the police.. I won’t let you stay here, even if it means I’m the one that has to stay in prison!”
