Before anyone could react, Mr. Lin had raised his hand and swung it towards Su Yu. Thank goodness Su Lingan was there to stop it before it could land on her face, or it would swell for days.
âDonât push your luck,â Su Lingyun gritted through his teeth.
Su Yu jumped. âAre you okay?â She checked his arm.
Inappropriate laughter came out of Mr. Lin as she shook his head in disdain. He then spat on the floor. âDo you think you can evade the statute and punishment if somethingâs happened with Sisi just because youâre rich and influential?â
Su Yu was amused. Why brought up law now, but not then when their daughter had committed a crime?
âOf course not, but the same goes for your daughter. Thereâs solid proof that sheâs hired a hitman to murder someone. Sure, I wanted to let it slide. But since you brought it up, I changed my mind. Youâre right about something, thoughâas adults, we should all pay for our mistakes.â
When Mrs. Lin went pale and collapsed shortly, Officer Qi caught her. âThatâs enough, Ms. Su. Everything can wait till weâve found Lin Sisi. If sheâs done it, we wonât let her off that easily,â he promised.
Mrs. Lin shoved the officer away, glancing at him with wary. âI thought you were on the good side, but no. No!â she screamed. âIs there no justice in the world?â
The commotion was so loud that all the other cops swarmed out. What was going on?
A few observant officers came forward to split the Lins away from the rest to prevent a fight from breaking out.
âSounds like thereâs more that you havenât told me yet,â Su Lingan said in frustration. His look was no longer gentle but stern and uncompromising. Did he spoil his sister too much that she was now keeping secrets from him? Even if it concerned her safety?
Realizing everything was out of the bag, Su Yu gave him a glimpse of guilt. âIâletâs talk when we get home, brother.â
âSu Yu!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Frantically, she admitted to everything, apologizing for keeping him in the dark.
âHeâs your brother?â Fu Yunian intruded, making the situation as awkward as anyone could imagine.
Su Lingan turned to him. âNone of your business, dude!â
And Fu Yunian stopped asking questions as he was, too, furious. Lin Sisiâthat b*tchâhired a hitman? Wouldnât he now be staring at Su Yuâs dead body if Lin Sisi got her way?
The thought petrified him. He pulled out his phone to text his assistant, urging them to investigate Lin Sisi and the hitman.
âIâm telling you. Weâre not afraid of you. Youâre only telling your side of the story, and do you think the police would believe in you without any proof? Dream on!â Mr. Lin yelled, and as if he was mustering up his courage, he straightened up.
