Chapter 19: Chapter 19 It’s over now Chapter 19: Chapter 19 It’s over now Lin Yueqin collapsed to the ground, crying out to Lady Wen, “Madam, save me! I am innocent!”
Lady Wen hurried forward, “What car accident case? Are you mistaken? Yueqin has worked in my household for nearly thirty years, always diligent, earnest, and law-abiding.”
The police officer looked at her, “Some people only appear to be honest, but in reality, they are not good people at all. The fact that Lin Yueqin has provided false testimony is irrefutable. I advise you not to protect her recklessly!”
“I’m not protecting her, I just think that you have made a mistake.”
“Do you think we would arrest people without any evidence?”
The police officer’s face was stern, “You are Ye Jinyu?”
“I am.”
“You’ll need to come with us as well!”
Lady Wen was stunned, “Why?”
“Your daughter Wen Nianyou is suspected of hit and run leading to a fatality and has been arrested. You need to cooperate with the investigation!”
“What?!”
Lady Wen’s face lost all color, and her body swayed, “Impossible!”
Lin Yueqin shouted, “Madam, they’re mistaken, the one who hit the person wasn’t Youyou, it was my daughter Lin Chuyi!”
Lady Wen’s voice trembled, “Chuyi? Didn’t the police just say that Chuyi has an alibi?”
“It’s fake! She’s adept at deceiving! She was previously caught by the police, and she even hired someone to pose as her fiancé to bail her out! It was her who hit and killed the person, not Youyou! Madam, please think of a way to get Youyou out!”
Lin Yueqin spoke very quickly, urgently prompting Lady Wen.
Lady Wen frowned deeply, “Is it truly not Youyou but Chuyi?”
“Really! I swear!”
Half an hour later.
Lin Yueqin and Lady Wen were both taken to the police station.
When Wen Nianyou saw Lady Wen, she began crying pitifully, “Mom, they’re framing me! I didn’t hit anyone!”
Lady Wen hugged her daughter, distressed, “Youyou, are you alright?”
“Mom, hurry up and get me out, I don’t want to be handcuffed here. I’m not a criminal; why are they arresting me? What if others found out, they might think I really broke the law. How can I face anyone in the future?”
Lin Yueqin also cried, “Madam, it really wasn’t Youyou, it was Lin Chuyi! Do you believe me? Would I wrong my own daughter?”
“Although I would like to protect Chuyi, I cannot let Miss Nianyou suffer an injustice. It was Lin Chuyi who drove the car, it was she who hit the person, and after hitting them, it was she who ran away out of fear of taking responsibility! And after running away, she framed Miss Nianyou!”
When Lin Chuyi entered the police station, what she saw was Lin Yueqin framing her once again.
She said coldly, “Lin Yueqin, whether I hit someone or not isn’t up to just your word to decide. On the night of the 17th, I was on duty at the hospital, and there is surveillance footage to prove it.”
When Lin Yueqin saw her arrive, her eyes turned vicious, as if ready to devour someone, “Nonsense! The surveillance has been deleted! Where did you get the surveillance from?!”
Lin Chuyi looked at her coldly, “How do you know the surveillance was deleted? Could it be that you deleted it?”
Lin Yueqin’s face changed slightly, but soon she retorted, “How could I possibly delete the surveillance? I’m just a maid, I don’t know anything about computers! Stop accusing me wrongly!”
“I found out from the police! The hospital’s surveillance must have been deleted by you so no one would know whether or not you were really at the hospital. That way, you could clear your name!”
Lin Chuyi was composed, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’ve recovered the hospital surveillance videos.”
“Impossible! How could a deleted video be recovered? You’re lying! Officer, she’s lying! She’s been a liar since she was a child. Don’t let her fool you!”
“As a maid who doesn’t understand computers, of course, you wouldn’t know that deleted surveillance videos can be recovered.”
Lin Yueqin looked at her, uncertain and finally a bit panicked, “Really, they can be recovered?”
“Of course they can be recovered, and it’s not just the video of my shift that has been recovered, but even the segment where someone sneaked into the monitoring room to delete the footage has been recovered.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yueqin instinctively looked towards Wen Nianyou, her thoughts racing—now she was doomed!
The surveillance footage had been deleted by her. If the police recognized her, she would be in danger!
And now that Lin Chuyi had the video as an alibi, she could be completely exonerated. Wen Nianyou was in danger too!
