Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Jiaxiang’s Life of Darkness
But after lying there for twenty minutes, she still couldn’t fall asleep.
Maybe she had slept too long, she told herself.
Then, she received a WeChat message from Ji Luochen.
Crown Prince: Did you sleep?
A Cloud: No.
Just as her message had been sent, Ji Luochen started a video call.
...
After the video connected, she saw that Ji Luochen had clearly taken a shower, and he was also leaning on the bed now.
“Mumu forgot the promise you made to me, you said that we would video chat every day,” Ji Luochen said.
Mu Lingyun: …
We just met, right?
And we still need to video chat?
It really was hopeless, but there was no other way, one could only indulge him.
So Dandan said, “Didn’t you already call?”
“If I hadn’t called, would you have not called me?” Ji Luochen said, a bit plaintively.
Mu Lingyun smiled, “Do you know what you sound like, Your Highness?”
“Like what?”
“Like a resentful woman in the deep palace,” Mu Lingyun said.
Ji Luochen raised an eyebrow, “Like one of those resentful male consorts in Her Majesty’s harem?”
Mu Lingyun shook her head.
“Not like them? Then what are they like?”
Mu Lingyun said earnestly, “It’s not that you don’t resemble them, it’s that I don’t have a harem or male consorts. All those things you’re thinking of, they don’t exist.”
“Really?”
“Absolutely true,” Mu Lingyun said with certainty.
Ji Luochen, his speech literary, his lips curled up in a pleased smile.
–
After their video chat, they each went to sleep.
Mu Lingyun had intended to deal with the online accusations of her fighting the next day, but unexpectedly, the police came looking for her and Ji Luochen instead.
The reason was that the video online had caused quite a stir, and many people had even tagged the cyber police.
Their superiors urged them to understand the situation, to see if anyone was injured, and to mediate as soon as possible.
Thus, Mu Lingyun and Ji Luochen were both invited to the police station to provide statements.
When they got to the police station, they saw quite a few others had also been brought in for questioning, including the two bodyguards.
However, Cai Min was nowhere to be seen.
But that made sense since the video had been deliberately edited to remove any footage of Cai Min.
So, it seemed the incident had nothing to do with Cai Min.
Mu Lingyun honestly explained that it was because they pressured Ji Luochen to drink, and with his heart condition, he couldn’t drink, which was why she had acted.
She even showed the police the video provided by the Check-in System.
The police watched the video, made a copy, and allowed them to leave.
However, they did hold onto the bodyguards and gave them a talking-to. Cai Min was also brought in and similarly lectured.
Cai Min, however, was arrogant. Upon arriving at the police station, she started threatening the officers, saying that if they dared to reveal the truth, she would make things hard for them.
After Cai Min left, the officers consulted their chief.
The chief sneered and said, “Release it, but with some pixelation, enough to make sure netizens recognize her. The higher-ups also said we shouldn’t cover for her. I’ve long disliked this kind of person, and now I want to see how she’s going to make us regret it!”
In the end, the police station published the results of their investigation.
They even released the entire video.
And the police station’s technician was clever with the pixelation; you couldn’t say they hadn’t done it, but you could still make out the general appearance.
So Cai Min, as mentioned by the police, was quickly identified.
Thus, everyone came to know that it was due to Cai Min, the deputy head of Jiaxiang Investment, forcing a young man with a heart condition to drink and even ordering the bodyguards to get physical, which prompted Mu Lingyun to kick the bodyguards.
And then the screens were full of praise for Mu Lingyun.
[Well kicked, that old woman should have been kicked too!]
[That kind of old hag, just using her power to coerce a young man, deserves to be kicked to death!]
[She should be dunked in a pig cage.]
[Jiaxiang really has such a deputy head, Jiaxiang black for life]
