“I couldn’t get through to Miss Dings phone. Maybe… maybe she stayed up too late playing cards?” the assistant said timidly.

Yun Liu glared at her assistant and ordered, “Then go to her house and get her! I can’t believe she’s still in the mood to play cards at a time like this!”

“Yes, I’ll go immediately!” The assistant quickly replied and headed for the door.

As soon as the assistant opened the door, two police officers came in. “Excuse me, are you Miss Yun Liu?” one of them inquired seriously.

Behind the police officers was a terrified receptionist, who squeaked, ‘Miss, these two police officers wanted to see you.”

Yun Liu was very surprised and answered, ‘Yes, I’m Yun Liu.”

“There are a few cases that require your cooperation in our investigation.

Please come with us,” the police officer requested in a business-like tone.

“What case? I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Yun Liu uttered, alarmed. She truly didn’t know what was going on.

“There’s a Miss Gao Bei who is accusing you of tricking her into going abroad, resulting in her great personal injury,” the police informed her. “The parties involved in several cases of spreading online rumors all claimed you were the one who instigated them into doing so.”

There was a ringing in Yun Liu’s ears, and her mind was in a panic. “That has nothing to do with me! I have nothing to do with all this!” she denied, grabbing onto her chair’s armrest and refusing to leave.

The police patiently told her, “We’re just bringing you in to assist our investigations. As for whether these cases have anything to do with you, that’ll depend on the evidence!”

“No, I won’t go! I’m not going!” Yun Liu shrilled as she retreated.

The police officers frowned and looked at each other. Someone knocked on the door and barged in, calling, “Yun Liu!”

When Yun Liu saw Yun Zhang, she threw herself at him, clinging to him as if he was her lifeline. “Yun Zhang! The police are here to arrest me!” she cried.

Yun Zhang staggered from Yun Liu’s forceful collision and hastily supported her before politely asking, “Officers, may I ask what’s happening here?”

The two police officers repeated what they’d just said, and Yun Zhang frowned. “These things have nothing to do with her. Can I go in her place?” he offered.

The police officer shook his head and stated, “The allegations are made against her.’

Yun Zhang knew he couldn’t go in Yun Liu’s stead for something like this; he was just asking because he didn’t know what else he could do. He helped Yun Liu to her feet and comforted her, “Yun Liu, calm down. Go with the police officer first. I’ll get the lawyers to go with you. It’s okay. I’m here.”

“No, I’m not going!” Yun Liu shrieked, backing away. “You go! This has nothing to do with me! I didn’t do anything! Where’s Miss Ding? Let Miss Ding go! This has nothing to do with me! She said so!”

“Yun Liu!” Yun Zhang thundered and glared at her, shutting her down. “Behave yourself. The lavvyers will accompany you. Tell the police truthfully if you know anything and leave the rest to the police and the lawyers. They’ll help you clear your name if you didn’t do anything, alright? Be good!” That was all Yun Zhang could say before the police.

Yun Liu calmed down, but she was still trembling. Her mind was working rapidly, trying to come up with ways she could get out of her situation, and she silently cursed Miss Ding over and over in her head.

Yun Liu mournfully left with the police. Yun Zhang immediately asked the director of their legal department to bring three lawyers with him to the police station. Then, he swiftly called Miss Ding.

However, he couldn’t get through to her. Yun Zhang held his phone and paced around in frustration. His assistant, Xiao Gong, pushed the door open and entered with a grave expression. “Mr. Yun, Ding Pei was arrested.” ‘What?” Yun Zhang stared at Xiao Gong in disbelief.

Xiao Gong nodded and checked that the door was closed. Even so, he still lowered his voice when he imparted, “Gao Bei called the police, saying that she was tricked into going abroad and was almost sold into prostitution. She arduously managed to return to the country and found the scumbag who deceived her. That scumbag admitted Ding Pei had instructed him to do it, so

Gao Bei called the police.”

“Then, was Ding Pei really the culprit?” Yun Zhang asked urgently.

Xiao Gong pursed his lips and haltingly replied, “I don’t know either. Perhaps… Yun Nan was aware of it?”

‘Sh*t,’ Yun Zhang silently swore as his heart trembled. He recalled Yun Liu’s state just then and didn’t think she was unaware. Now, he could only take things as they come.

“Tell the lawyers to figure out a way to bail Yun Liu and Ding Pei out and clear their names… If that’s impossible, get Yun Liu out. Try to contact Ding Pei and

tell her I’ll compensate her handsomely,” Yun Zhang said calmly.

“Yes, Mr. Yun. I know what to do, ” Xiao Gong assured him and bowed.

Just as Xiao Gong was about to leave, Yun Zhang called out, “Where is Gao Bei now? Can you find her?”

Xiao Gong didn’t understand why Yun Zhang wanted to contact Gao Bei. Yun Zhang pondered before stating, “See if you can contact her privately. It’s best to settle this matter privately, if possible. See how much money she’s asking to drop the issue.”

Xiao Gong looked at Yun Zhang and thought, ‘So, he’s certain Miss Ding is the culprit? When he thought about it, with Miss Ding’s character, she was indeed someone who could do such a thing, so Xiao Gong stayed silent..
