It was said that Lin Fangwei also suffered a very serious injury; her left leg was fractured.
So, although someone reported the incident to the police on the spot and the local station got involved, she was immediately released on medical bail by the Li Family after being detained.
Originally, Song Ting intended to send her to the prison hospital to prevent her from escaping, but Han Zheng said, "We’ll just need to have more people watching her; she won’t be able to run away. Besides, the prison hospital could protect her, preventing us from taking action."
No, he wanted to give Lin Fangwei the opportunity to escape. That way, she would face harsher legal punishment without them having to lift a finger and risk committing a crime.
Shen Ci, upon hearing that Lin Fangwei was the only defendant, scoffed, "You guys go to the Li Family first and give Li Fangwei a message—if she exposes her accomplices, we’ll forgive her; otherwise, we will pursue it to the end. However, if she agrees, she must go abroad to live."
Ha, forgive her? Impossible, never.
This was merely using her to strike at her accomplices.
Lin Fangwei’s injury was indeed a fracture, but it wasn’t as severe as she let on.
Her collision with Shen Ci was an impulsive moment, and upon calming down, she suddenly feared death.
Even more so after lying in the hospital bed.
It’s better to be alive and kicking than dead, and since her family wasn’t lacking in money or suitors, it was actually quite easy for her to live a peaceful and comfortable life.
Now, she deeply regretted trying to force Shen Ci.
But with the grave mistake made, she’d have to serve at least three to five years in prison, wouldn’t she?
No, after three to five years, she would still be young, and by then, she could move abroad...
She could still live more comfortably than many others.
Lin Fangwei finally set a correct direction for her life, but it was already too late.
She had committed too many sins, and while she was willing to start over, those she had hurt were seeking revenge.
It was about time for revenge.
Shen Ci also had regrets.
He had been too confident all along.
He thought that Lin Fangwei, a mere clown, couldn’t possibly harm him or the people he cared about. Little did he expect... one wrong move led to a disaster.
So this time, he decided to deal with her cleanly and decisively.
Lin Fangwei was ready for prison, but unexpectedly, there was a twist: Song Enshu said that as long as she confessed the accomplices from that night, the case would be dropped.
Lin Fangwei agreed without much hesitation.
The reason she wasn’t suspicious was that she always thought the injuries to Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci weren’t serious.
As for confessing the accomplices of that day...
Originally, she wanted to keep them as a means to extort money for her expenses abroad after getting out of prison...
But since she could avoid prison, and the Li Family was unlikely to treat her harshly, she wouldn’t need to find the money herself.
She replied to Song Enshu, "Okay, but I can’t just trust you guys like that—I need my dad to come as a witness, and I need his help to fetch the evidence for you. I have a recording of the conversation where we conspired."
Recording useful conversations on a tape recorder... that was something Lin Fangwei learned from Meng Chuyue.
She had been badly hurt by Meng Chuyue’s recordings in the past.
Afterward, she too learned to trap others this way.
There was actually a phone recording?
That would make things even easier.
Song Enshu immediately went to tell Shen Ci about this development.
Shen Ci was also very pleased.
It was just a pity that Erhu was locked in Meng Chuyue’s space; otherwise, it could have been used to steal the recording.
Although they couldn’t directly steal it back, it didn’t matter; Lin Fangwei would hand it over obediently.
Lin Fangwei would also receive a punishment more frightening than imprisonment.
Lin Fangwei knew that her reputation was completely gone, so she wasn’t worried about the public finding out about her complicity with Old Mrs. Song, Song Lei, and her scandalous liaison with the wastrel Wang Jilin.
She just wanted to regain her freedom as soon as possible and then leave the country to start anew.
She swore that as long as she could smoothly go abroad, she would live a good life from now on and never again foolishly provoke those she shouldn’t.
