First, it was Liu Chun, then it was Xing Shu Xing Shu could not understand the kidnapperâs logic. She had nothing to do with Liu Chun. When the police arrived, Xing Shuâs heart was in her mouth. The police officers were very polite. After all, they had already met last night. âMiss Xing Shu, please come with us to the police station to make a statement first.â
Xing Shu nodded and handed her cell phone to the police as evidence. The business trip had to be postponed. After all, her safety was more important. Xing Shu got into the police car. As soon as she arrived at the police station, she saw Wu Minxia and Xing Zewu, who had come to bail Xing Linlin out. Their countenance was very grim, especially when they saw Xing Shu. They wished they could tear her apart.
Wu Minxiaâs lips trembled. âXing Shu, youâve already framed Linlin and sent her to jail. What else do you want?! Why are you so vicious?! Why are you here at the police station now? Are you trying to add insult to injury?!â
Xing Shu: âMadam Wu Minxia, youâre overthinking it. Iâm not interested in Xing Linlinâs affairs.â
Wu Minxia barked, âNot interested? If it werenât for your dirty tricks back then, we wouldnât have been duped into bringing you back to the Xing family. It was a setup right from the start. You deliberately lured Linlin to commit a crime and then exposed everything on the day she returned to us. Youâre really vicious.â
Xing Shu knew that she had nothing to say to the Xing family. Just as she was about to leave, Xing Zewu said, âXing Shu, what do you think Grandpa will do if he finds out about this?â This was the second time Xing Zewu had used the elderly man to threaten her.
Xing Shu snorted. âXing Zewu, donât you find it ridiculous that you used your grandfather to threaten an outsider like me?
Xing Zewu replied, âIt doesnât matter if youâre an outsider or not. You know very well how Grandpa treats you. Do you want Grandpa to know about what happened at the banquet last night? If you dont want anything to happen to Grandpa, donât tell anyone about Linlin.â When he mentioned Xing Linlin, his tone became much gentler. Xing Shu felt a chill run down her spine. He clearly knew that Xing Linlin was his biological sister, but he still did not give up. No wonder Xing Linlin had him eating out of her hand and used him to the core. What a stupid man.
Amid their conversation, Xing Linlin was brought out by the police. She seemed to have been put through the wringerâin just one night, she had lost weight and looked listless.
Wu Minxiaâs heart ached as she held onto Xing Linlinâs arm. âLinlin, how are
Xing Linlinâs face was pale. The moment she saw Xing Shu, her eyes were filled with hatred. âXing Shu, what are you doing here? Are you here to gloat?â Yesterdayâs incident had more or less made her break down. Coupled with the fact that she had been locked up for the entire night, she did not have much rationality left. She stared daggers at Xing Shu. âLet me tell you, donât be smug. You didnât win. Just wait and see!â
Xing Shu was not scared off by Xing Linlinâs harsh words. On the other hand, Wu Minxia trembledâshe felt as if Xing Linlin had turned into a stranger overnight. To her, Xing Linlin had always been gentle. Even if she was wronged, she would do everything she could and think of others. Xing Linlinâs eyes turned red. She looked at Wu Minxia and said, âMom, I want to go back and restâ¦â She weakly wheedled with Xing Zewu. âBrother, can I ride with
Xing Zewu nodded. As he helped Xing Linlin into the car, he did not forget to instruct Xing Shu, âThis matter ends here. Mom and Dad will talk to you in detail later. Thereâs no need for you to come all the way to the police station to add insult to injury. No matter how bad Linlin is, sheâs still the daughter of the Xing family. The wealth she has now is something you canât earn even if you slog in Cheng Corporation Group for a lifetime. Xing Shu, youâre in the financial industry. You probably know that an individual canât win against capital.â What he meant was that Xing Linlin had the Xing family behind her, while Xing Shu had nothing.
Xing Linlin was touched. She leaned against Xing Zewu and said, âBrother, thank you.â
Xing Shu replied with mirth. âDo you think your Xing family is very powerful? The corporate world is unpredictable. Who knows if your Xing family will go bankrupt next?â
âXing Shu, you!â Xing Zewu was furious. Xing Linlin put her hand on his arm and shook her head. âBrother, forget it. Xing Shu is just being glib.â She did not want to stay here anymore and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Xing Zewu could not be bothered with Xing Shu. He closed the car door while Wu Minxia rode in another car. Xing Shu stood where she was and finally enjoyed peace and quietude.
The police officer told Xing Shu about the Xing familyâs donation. âThe Xing family bailed Xing Linlin out. In order to salvage Xing Linlinâs reputation, they even donated 10 million yuan to Radiant Welfare Home in her name. Miss Xing Shu, take a seat first.â The police officer was an understanding person and saw the Xing familyâs true nature. âItâs a good thing that you left such a family..â
