But the more she tried to clear her name hastily, the more she seemed to be just making excuses for Dongfang Yu.
The police questioned her again and again, but she kept insisting on her version of the truth.
Lin Xinxin even made a significant decision, âI want to withdraw my complaint. I wonât investigate this case any further! I donât even want to know the truth. Whatever happened, Iâll accept it!â
The police looked at her in utter disbelief.
A trace of a smile appeared involuntarily at the corners of Dongfang Yuâs mouth, which was however laced with coldness.
âLin Xinxin, answer me truthfully,â he stared at her, âAfter I left, did you open the door to the room?â
âNo!â she answered without hesitation, âI didnât open the doorâ¦â
Dongfang Yuâs smile faded, replaced by a glimmer of gloomy light in his eyes!
âIf you did not open the door, then how were you violated? Whether or not I did it, I know very well. Since you didnât open the door, there is a high possibility that you are lying and falsely accusing me in this case!â
Lin Xinxinâs complexion turned deathly pale, âI did not lie. Why would I lie about this kind of thing?â
Dongfang Yu rose coolly, âWho knows? If you want to withdraw the charge then do it right now. Otherwise, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. When that time comes, well, donât say I didnât warn you!â
With that, he turned on his heel and left.
Dumbfounded, Lin Xinxin followed him, her face stricken.
âMr. Dongfang, I really didnât lieâ¦â she tried desperately to defend herself.
The car that Dongfang Yu had summoned was waiting at the front of the police station for some time.
Seeing him, the driver respectfully opened the car door.
He halted, addressing Lin Xinxin coldly, âGo to the finance department tomorrow and collect your wages, the company will also pay your penalty for breach of contract and any other compensation.â
Lin Xinxin looked at him in shock, âMr. Dongfang, what are you saying?â
âYouâre fired!â With that, Dongfang Yu entered the car and drove off, leaving Lin Xinxin behind, struggling to accept the reality!
Once Hai Xiaotang returned home, she withdrew to her room and devoted herself to studying as usual.
She didnât care about whatever was happening to Dongfang Yu.
All she wanted to focus on was not losing sight of her goal and to keep going!
After leaving the police station, Dongfang Yu didnât go to find her right away.
He had other matters to attend to!
The black sedan seen earlier in the day was quite dubious, and his intuition told him that he could not rest without looking into it.
Fortunately, by nightfall, there was finally some progress.
And it completely confirmed his suspicions!
âMr. Dongfang, the car you asked us to locate has been found. It is an abandoned vehicle, left in the wilderness. We didnât see anyone there,â the man on the phone reported.
Dongfang Yu narrowed his eyes sharply, âKeep searching, we have to find that person!â
âUnderstood.â
After hanging up the phone with a gloomy expression, Dongfang Yu couldnât figure out who wanted to harm Hai Xiaotang.
Hai Xiaotang had no enemies, and neither did he.
But who was it that wanted to harm her?
The thought that someone wanted to kill Hai Xiaotang made Dongfang Yu very anxious.
He grabbed his coat and left the villa quickly to go to the old Hai Family home!
Hai Xiaotang, oblivious to Dongfang Yuâs arrival, was upstairs, focused on her studies.
Downstairs, Dongfang Yu and Hai Zhiyuan had a quiet and lengthy conversation.
Dongfang Yu went ahead and told the old man about the situation, with Hai Xiaotangâs safety in mind.
Hai Zhiyuan was shocked after hearing it, he too had no idea who would want to harm Hai Xiaotang.
