Chapter 227 Disgrace
Lin Yang’s expression also froze. Ever since he saw Su Yan, he had been lusting over her beauty. When he suddenly heard that the police had arrived, he snapped back to reality. Seeing that Old Master Lin was still not leaving, he reminded, “Dad, let’s go back first. If we bump into the police, things will blow up. Anyway, we have plenty of time to deal with them.”
Old Master Lin didn’t know what Lin Yang and Xia Jing had done. He only cared about his reputation. Today, such a big scandal had happened in the Lin family, so he had personally come to deal with it in a low-key manner, but he didn’t expect Su Yan to not play by the rules. She didn’t yield to the carrot and stick approach.
Now, it had even gotten the police involved. As a wealthy family in Feng City, whether it was in terms of the government or in the underworld, there was no one that the Lin family didn’t know. If the police found out, everyone would. Their family would be publicly disgraced.
He wasn’t very satisfied with Xia Jing as his daughter-in-law in the first place. It was his eldest son, Lin Yang, who insisted on marrying Xia Jing. He had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Now that the matter had escalated to this extent, the Lin family’s reputation had been completely ruined by Xia Jing. As the person with the most authority in the Lin family, he definitely wouldn’t let Xia Jing continue to stay in the Lin family.
Of course, today, he had been completely disgraced by Su Yan, so he definitely had to take revenge. As long as the Huaxin Grand Hotel was still around, he had plenty of ways to deal with Su Yan.
Just as everyone was talking, one of the policemen said, “We are the police from Feng City’s West Police Station’s fifth brigade. We just received a call saying that someone was drugged and raped at the Huaxin Grand Hotel. Which one of you called the police?”
Su Yan smiled and said, “I called the police!”
When they heard the phrase ‘drugged and raped’, the entire Lin family’s expression changed. Old Master Lin hurriedly said, “Oh, the person who reported the case must have said something wrong. It’s not rape. This is just a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?” The policeman frowned and couldn’t help but look at Su Yan. After all, she was the one who reported the case.
Su Yan smiled and said, “The details of the incident are like this… these people came here to cause trouble and insisted that it was our hotel’s fault that this lady called Xia Jing was sexually assaulted by this man called Lin Qiong.”
Before she finished her sentence, Lin Qiong angrily rebuked, “Don’t spout nonsense. Rape? Which eye of yours saw me sexually assault her? At that time, we were just in a state of confusion.”
The policeman glanced at Wu Qiong. “How about this, I’ll invite you to the police station to do further investigation. When we get there, we’ll talk about whether it was rape or not.”
When he heard this, Lin Yang immediately felt a headache coming. He never thought that things would turn out like this. How could he let things escalate? Thus, he quickly gave Wu Qiong and Xia Jing a look. He signaled them to quickly explain so that the police wouldn’t take them to the police station. Xia Jing’s face was pale. She was also afraid of going to the police station. After all, who would be willing to go there for no reason? Although she was very unwilling, in this situation, she could only bite the bullet and say, “He’s right. This is all a misunderstanding. He didn’t roofie
me.”
Hearing the victim’s words, the policemen looked at each other. One of the policemen said with a stern expression, “Madam, please believe in the police’s ability to handle cases. Please tell us the truth about what happened last night. What is the relationship between you and this man? Did he sexually assault you? If they threatened you, feel free to tell us. The police will ensure your personal and property safety. You have to know that evil doesn’t prevail over good.”
Hearing the police’s words, Xia Jing bit her lip while feeling helpless. What kind of situation was this? She had originally come to find trouble with Su Yan, but in the end, she had to deal with the police. Moreover, how was she supposed to explain this situation? But now, she had no choice but to say it.
Feeling helpless, Xia Jing said, “This is really a misunderstanding. His name is Lin Qiong. He’s my husband’s biological brother, my brother-in-law.”
The four policemen were all stunned when they heard this. Old Master Lin and his eldest son, Lin Yang, glared at her fiercely. Only Su Yan crossed her arms and watched with a smile.
A few minutes later, the four policemen left. It wasn’t that they were irresponsible, but they couldn’t interfere in this matter. No matter who slept with whom, it was their own domestic affairs. It was difficult for officials to resolve family affairs, therefore, it was better for the victims not to pursue the matter. These policemen also wouldn’t have to worry about it.
