Xiao Zhiwei’s face turned pale from fear. Seeing two police officers in uniform entering the room, she immediately shouted, “What gives you the right to arrest me? I didn’t do anything. You’re framing me without any evidence. You have no right to take me in. Let…let me go…”
At the young man’s signal, the police moved forward, and with a “clack”, handcuffs were locked onto Xiao Zhiwei’s wrists.
Xiao Zhiwei had never thought things would turn out this way. Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded with the tall, stoic man standing nearby. “Brother, please save me. I really didn’t do anything. I’ve been wronged. I swear, Brother, please save me…”
But no matter how she pleaded, Xiao Yebai remained unresponsive. By the time the police took her away, he was still standing there, emotionless and merciless.
The woman’s cries of despair echoed down the hallway for a long time.
It was quite unsettling.
Eventually, when all was quiet, the man sighed and said, “Actually, from a legal perspective, if your sister refuses to admit her involvement in this matter and there’s no concrete evidence, she can only be held inside for a few days.”
“Find someone to make her suffer a little.”
Though Xiao Yebai’s words were nonchalant, they made the man’s brow furrow in surprise. “WTF, isn’t she your sister? Talk about justice being above family bonds!”
Xiao Yebai gave him a brief glance.
“Indeed.” The man immediately laughed, “Well, whoever messes with your Little Princess deserves it. When it comes to choosing between a sister and a wife, the wife is more important. After all… love is priceless.”
Xiao Yebai glanced at his watch, “I have to go.”
“Already leaving? Won’t you take me out for a meal? Or a massage? Maybe a foot rub? I drove all the way from Nancheng to Tongcheng and back just for you. No complaints at all…”
“Go eat by yourself.”
The man was about to complain when he thought better of it. “Alright then, you’re such a busy man, Mr. Xiao. I won’t take up more of your time. Just reimburse me, and that’s it.”
Being the CEO of the Mo Family corporation with a net worth in the billions, a meal like a shark fin and abalone feast would undoubtedly be a treat.
However, when his phone rang and he picked it up, his face instantly turned green.
Damn it…
A 30 yuan red pocket?
“You’re treating me like a beggar! That’s what you give to your brother? 30 yuan can only buy a meal. Do you want me to take my meal and leave? Send it again, hurry up…”
He cursed for a while, then looked up.
The room was empty, Xiao Yebai was already gone.

On Monday, Mo Weiyi returned to school.
The abrasion on her hand had almost healed. Although she still could not write with her left hand, her right hand was fine.
In the morning, she packed her school bag and noticed the USB stick. After thinking for a moment, she removed it.
Holding such confidential files, it would be safer to leave it at home in case she lost it again. That would be a huge responsibility.
To avoid harassment like last time with Song Quan waiting by the school gate, her new bodyguard drove her directly into the school’s parking lot.
However, they were still interrupted by an unwelcome guest.
At noon, Mo Weiyi had planned to meet Su Wanwan at the cafeteria entrance. While she was waiting, a middle-aged woman rushed over and fell to her knees with a loud “thud”.
The sound was so loud it made Mo Weiyi’s face pale.
Before she could react, her legs were already embraced.
She instinctively struggled to get free, but it was no use. The woman clung desperately to the hem of her dress. If it weren’t for the fact she was wearing a dress today, Mo Weiyi doubted whether her skirt would be yanked down.
“Miss Mo, I beg you, please spare my daughter. Miss Mo, please…” The woman wept as she spoke, and soon her face was covered in tears.
A group of students had already gathered around. It was lunchtime, so the circle of onlookers grew quickly, whispering among each other. Mo Weiyi felt like she was a gorilla in a zoo.
She asked, “Who is your daughter?”
“Feifei, my daughter is Feifei, your classmate. How could you be so ruthless…” The woman burst into sobs again as she spoke.
Mo Weiyi still didn’t know what was going on, “What happened to Feifei?”
The woman wiped her tears and said, “Miss Mo, you were at Feifei’s birthday party, she would never steal a ring. She’s a good girl, she’s always been a good student, and our neighbors always praise her for being considerate. This can’t be possible, it just can’t.”
“Stealing a ring?” Mo Weiyi frowned.
“Yes, the police have taken her in now, they say she’s facing five years in prison. My daughter is only twenty years old, how is she supposed to survive those five years? Her life would be ruined, Miss Mo. The police told us the ring was yours, it must be a misunderstanding, right?”
Mo Weiyi looked utterly confused.
Before she could even react, the woman clung to her legs again, fell to her knees, and began to cry and beg once more.
When Su Wanwan arrived at the cafeteria entrance, she saw a huge crowd surrounding someone.
Initially, she was going to ignore it, but when she heard one of classmates mention the campus belle, she immediately rushed over.
By this time, the bodyguard had already pushed away the crowd, but the woman was still shouting.
“Weiyi, what’s going on?” Su Wanwan finally made her way to the center of the crowd.
Mo Weiyi pulled at her long hair, then straightened her dress.
When she looked up again, her face was cold and proud..
