Seeing several police cars parked outside and the police officers in the house, Old Lady Shen and Yang Siru were dazed. Before they could even respond in time, the police officers began demanding that they release the captive. They mentioned that the two of them had already broken the law.
Old Lady Shen felt weak, and her legs turned wobbly. They locked Yun Mengshi in the bedroom just to stop her from leaving the house. How was that breaking the law?
Yang Siru snapped out of her shock and yelled, “That’s my daughter. I only wanted her to reflect on herself privately. We have not been abusive at all. All of you are slandering us! That’s defamation…” Yang Siru felt furious yet anxious. Seeing all these police officers, she still felt afraid.
“I am sorry, Madam Yang. We have concrete evidence. Moreover, these were provided by your daughter’s schoolmate. Your daughter had sent out a cry for help. We are obliged to protect any citizen of Ning An City…”
“We didn’t! As her mother, it’s normal for me to get her to reflect quietly. My daughter cannot charge me. I’m her mother…” Yun Mengshi was in disbelief. She had invested all her hope on Yun Mengshi, but her daughter had actually treated her in such a manner.
“We only consider the truth and evidence. If the both of you do not cooperate and release her, we can only follow and act accordingly to the law. We will conduct a search personally.
In the end, a bedroom was forced open in the midst of Old Lady Shen and Yang Siru’s panic. Yun Mengshi was locked inside. In just a few days, she had lost significant weight. Her eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets.
Yang Siru had forgotten about her, and had not sent any meals to Yun Mengshi. Meeting Yun Mengshi’s tranquil gaze, Yang Siru took a step back.
Fortunately, there was a toilet in this bedroom. Otherwise, the room would stink up.
Yun Mengshi calmly looked at the police officers and said, “I want to leave.” She felt that she couldn’t depend on anyone now. She needed to seek a way out for herself. She promised herself that she would find a stepping stone and achieve tremendous heights.
In the end, Yun Mengshi packed up her belongings and left the Yun family home. Old Lady Shen and Yang Siru were mutually shirking off the blame. They both claimed that it wasn’t committed by themselves, and were taken away by the police officers for interrogation.
A short while after leaving, the male schoolmate that Yun Mengshi had flirted with found her. He then proposed for Yun Mengshi to be together with him.
Yun Mengshi eyed the man in disdain. “Liu Teng, you must have made a mistake. I’m grateful for your help, but you must have been imagining other things.”
“Mengshi, that wasn’t what you said when you begged for help!” Liu Teng was decent looking. Although his family background was ordinary and he hadn’t been able to find an official job, he sincerely wanted to help Yun Mengshi.
This was also why Yun Mengshi chose him. He was relatively more naive compared to others.
“Stop following me. After I earn some money, I will offer you some compensation.” After speaking, Yun Mengshi didn’t even spare a glance at Liu Teng. She simply walked off.
It was unclear how long Liu Teng stood along the street. His legs growing numb, the cold wind bit into his body. He had truly believed that Yun Mengshi wanted to be with him, and had been elated for a long time.
…
Yun Bixue looked at the news she received, and truly felt that Yun Mengshi was heartless. She could even take advantage of a person who sincerely wanted to help her. It didn’t matter if she was exploiting her enemies, but it was unforgivable to use a person such as Liu Teng like that.
Yun Bilu swiftly took over the news and read. She said, “Elder Sister, look at what I can do. Leave it to me this time. Doesn’t your company have plans to enter the entertainment industry? This person might be suitable.”
