When the man hung up, his face didn’t look good at all. Self-defense? That reason sounded dignified.
Leng Yixiu looked at the butler and instructed, "Go to the police station for me."
"Go to the police station?" The butler was a bit puzzled, then immediately realized, could Miss Lin have been taken to the police station?
For a moment, he didn’t understand the man’s intention. Was Mr. Leng sending him to the station to prove Miss Lin’s ’innocence’? Or...
"Since she hurt me, she naturally has to suffer a bit."
The butler was a bit startled. Last night before falling unconscious, didn’t Mr. Leng instruct him not to spread the news? Why did he change his mind today?
The man raised an eyebrow unhappily, "Do I need to teach you how to do it?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Leng, I will handle it properly."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying was secretly delighted but did not show it on her face. Lin Yixun, oh Lin Yixun, you just wait to go to jail!
In the interrogation room, the glaring overhead light made Lin Yixun unable to open her eyes. She didn’t know how long she’d been there, but every minute and second felt excruciatingly long.
She licked her cracked lips and said softly, "Officer, may I make a phone call?"
"Sorry, Miss Lin, during the interrogation, you are not allowed to make or receive calls."
"But if my mom sees that I haven’t returned for so long, she will definitely worry. Officer, my mom is in the late stage of uremia and can’t handle any shock, could you please make an exception?"
"If you had known this, why did you do it in the first place." The police officer shook his head helplessly and handed her the phone, "You have five minutes."
"Thank you, officer." Lin Yixun took the phone and immediately dialed her mother’s number.
"Hello, Xiao Xun, why haven’t you come back yet? I just tried calling you but couldn’t get through. Are you with Xing Yi?"
"No, mom. The company suddenly sent me on a business trip to E City, so I couldn’t answer the phone on the plane just now."
"Oh, it’s because of a business trip then. When will you be back?"
Lin Yixun’s eyes flickered slightly, and she said hoarsely, "I’m not sure, mom. There’s a problem with the factory system in E City, I might be gone for a while. Mom, during my absence, you must take good care of yourself."
Given the current situation, if Leng Yixiu decided to press the issue, she couldn’t guarantee she’d walk away unscathed. But she couldn’t bear to tell her mother the truth, so she could only hide it as long as possible.
"Work is important, focus on your trip. The caregiver here is very attentive, so don’t worry about me."
"Okay!" Lin Yixun nodded heavily.
"You should get busy then. You’ve had a hectic day, you must be tired, so hurry to the hotel and rest. Take good care of yourself out there, don’t go hungry or cold."
These words made Lin Yixun’s nose tingle and her throat ache. She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to hold back her tears, so she quickly hung up the phone.
The police officer took the phone from her hand and sat down across from her, "Let’s continue. The injured person has woken up, but it’s not easy for him to move. We have brought in a witness as well. We questioned the witness, but his testimony doesn’t quite align with yours. Miss Lin, how do you explain this?"
Lin Yixun fell silent. She had anticipated such an outcome long ago. Suddenly, she raised her head and said firmly, "I’m telling the truth."
"Miss Lin, I advise you to be honest and not waste our time." The police officer took a stack of documents from another officer and threw them on the table in front of Lin Yixun, looking down at her, "Miss Lin, we’ve investigated your relationship with the injured person. You’re Leng Yixiu’s ex-wife?"
