Wang Chan insisted that she knew nothing and fear was written all over her face, so much that others could be easily mistaken that the police had inflicted violence on her.
“You still have the cheek to deny!” Chen Keming rose from his seat in pain and pressed a hand on his forehead before pacing back and forth.
He immediately stopped in his tracks and pointed at Wang Chan. He barked, “I bet you won’t learn your lesson until you feel the pain. Xiao Li, bring the USB drive here and play the footage. We’ll see if she pleads guilty or not.”
“Got it, Chief Chen!” Xiao Li immediately stood up and left. Not long later, he entered again with the USB drive.
When the surveillance camera footage appeared in front of Wang Chan, she laid sluggishly on the chair and turned pale.
On that day, Li Yang especially brought Ou Lixue to the hotel where Wang Chan was in, in order not to attract any attention.
Perhaps, they would not have known that there were surveillance cameras in the hotel. It was unfortunate for them that there were pinhole cameras in every room of the hotel because they were operating without a license.
That was also the reason Rong Yan was so certain that Wang Chan was the culprit.
On that day, not only did Wang Chan hypnotize Ou Lixue, she even tampered with her subconscious to make her think that Luo Anning was the one who forced her into harming Luo Xinya. At last, Ou Lixue was pressured into killing herself.
…
Wang Chan and Li Yang were arrested and the case proceeded.
Society and the rest of the world felt that the Rong Yan had simply abused his authority to find two scapegoats to take the rap for Luo Anning.
That sparked even more criticism and the Baina International’s stock prices plunged for two consecutive days.
Ever since the incident took place, Old Mr. Rong and Jiang Peihua remained silent and chose not to make any comment.
They had never called to question Luo Anning either. Everything was left to Rong Yan to settle.
Due to the fact that the controversy and criticism was getting out of hand, the police had no choice, but to publicize the surveillance camera footage of Wang Chan and Li Yang.
The world fell silent and society stopped making a ruckus all of a sudden…
The berating voices and the people who doubted Rong Yan and the Rong Family, immediately vanished overnight.
However, the surveillance camera footage did show the scene of Luo Anning and Ou Lixue getting into a physical brawl on the rooftop.
Hence, they again began to suspect that Luo Anning had committed manslaughter even though it was not intentional murder!
Luo Anning was incredibly exasperated after reading those reports.
At the end of the day, they just want me to end up going to prison and face the death sentence, don’t they?
Luo Anning clenched her fists tightly and looked in the direction of Waterside Residences. She thought, Luo Xinya, are you really not going to stop until you kill me?
…
On the other end, Luo Xinya had been feeling extremely anxious ever since the news of Wang Chan and Li Yang being arrested, had been released.
She would get easily frightened and hence, Li Yulan was so worried that she might have been haunted by Ou Lixue’s ghost. Hence, Li Yulan decided to look for a medium to perform a ritual.
Luo Zhiquan advised her to go on a vacation with her friends to relax, and stop behaving hysterically and causing a din at home all day.
“Xinya, go to England. Just take it as a vacation for you to take a breather and vent all your negative emotions. You can also take the opportunity to visit your brother Shaodong,” Li Yulan suggested.
Seemingly having thought of something, Luo Xinya’s eyes lit up and she grabbed Li Yulan’s hand agitatedly. “Oh right, I can go to England… I hold an English citizenship… “
