One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 101
Chapter 101: Chapter 78 Liu Yan’s Acting Skills
Luo City Police Station.
La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan were still under temporary custody.
La Jingzhou was suspected of stealing trade secrets, while Bai Shilan had been implicated as an accomplice by La Jingzhou.
The two had snapped at each other like dogs, both temporarily held at the police station.
Of course.
The final conclusion had not yet been reached, and if someone posted bail, both could leave the police station before a conviction.
La Jingzhou had contacted his lawyer last night, and now the lawyer was on his way to Luo City.
And he.
The esteemed president of the La Family, had actually been locked up like a criminal overnight.
A shadow of darkness flickered through the depths of La Jingzhou’s eyes.
This time, his predicament was entirely because of Bai Shilan.
No matter how he thought about it, he could not fathom why Bai Shilan would do such a thing!
But that wasn’t important anymore.
He would not let anyone who betrayed him get away scot-free.
Bai Shilan would learn what it meant to offend him.
Previously, when he loved her, she said it was binding, that it was torment.
Well then, let her taste what true binding and torment were like.
That night, many thoughts crossed La Jingzhou’s mind.
He thought that this hurdle might not be insurmountable.
As long as Liu Yan could trust him as she had before and could persuade her parents not to sue, then it wouldn’t escalate to a criminal proceeding.
At Huanyu, he had indeed manipulated some accounts, but he was very cautious, and others would take the fall for these actions. As long as things were well arranged, they wouldn’t trace back to him.
The crucial point at the moment was to sweet-talk Liu Yan, to flatter the Liu Family!
La Jingzhou was preoccupied with these thoughts.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
“La Jingzhou, someone has posted your bail, you can leave now.”
La Jingzhou was momentarily stunned.
The lawyer had arrived so quickly?
It was a policewoman who notified him, and now she looked at him with a hint of disdain: “It’s your fiancée! I don’t know what’s wrong with you men! To have such a wonderful fiancée and still embrace all that is filthy and foul.”
If it had been before, La Jingzhou would have certainly displayed his domineering CEO temperament and thoroughly punished this loose-tongued woman.
But now.
La Jingzhou’s eyes suddenly brightened.
Liu Yan?
Liu Yan had actually come to bail him out?
What did that prove?
It proved that Liu Yan still harbored feelings for him!
With that in mind.
He just needed to show a little attitude, and success was within reach.
In an instant, La Jingzhou stood up straight and a smile appeared on his face.
In the past, he had always been aloof towards Liu Yan.
This time, just by giving her a little warmth, wouldn’t she be overwhelmed with joy and tears?
La Jingzhou followed the police officer outside.
He immediately spotted the weary-looking Liu Yan, and a sense of certainty grew in his heart.
He approached her and began to speak, “Xiaoyan, I…”
Just then.
Another police officer brought Bai Shilan out as well.
“You can go too. Miss Ye Xiao has posted your bail,” the officer said.
Bai Shilan immediately looked gratefully at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao gave her a big smile: “We’re good sisters! How could I ignore you!”
La Jingzhou glanced at Bai Shilan, and a flicker of darkness darted through his eyes.
It was good that this woman was out.
He would make her understand the price of offending La Jingzhou!
Bai Shilan felt the malice in La Jingzhou’s gaze and fearfully stepped closer to Ye Xiao, then asked with hope, “Xiaoxiao, where’s Brother Ye?”
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Her second brother must have been so scared by Bai Shilan that he probably didn’t sleep well all night and likely hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet.
“My brother has other matters. I came here, and that’s sufficient,” Ye Xiao said.
“Did he entrust you to do this?” Bai Shilan asked, full of hope, looking at Ye Xiao, “Can I see him now?”
La Jingzhou squinted his eyes.
He had made up his mind to take revenge on Bai Shilan, but if Bai Shilan really did hook up with Ye Lin, it would be difficult for him to lay a hand on her.
Ye Xiao glanced at Bai Shilan and said indifferently, “My second brother doesn’t want to see you. He said you and President La are a perfect match in talent and beauty, and you should be together forever.”
Bai Shilan’s face turned deathly pale in an instant!
What does this mean?
Does Ye Lin still care about her past?
She had outed La Jingzhou’s background at the police station last night, and there was no way La Jingzhou would let her off.
If Ye Lin doesn’t care about her, she’ll die, she really will die!
Bai Shilan pleaded somewhat pitifully, “Xiaoxiao, I was forced into those past actions, can I see Ye brother just one more time?”
Ye Xiao immediately showed impatience, “Bai Shilan! I’ve already done you a favor by bailing you out. How dare you, with your kind of goods, even think about my second brother? Just look in the mirror and see what kind of thing you really are.”
Ye Xiao suddenly spoke harshly, and Bai Shilan was momentarily stunned.
“Enough. We were friends after all, and I have been gracious to you. From now on, live your life well, and if you harass my second brother again, I will take your life,” said Ye Xiao, completely embodying the role of the cruel female antagonist.
Bai Shilan couldn’t cope with this turn of events at all.
She had clung to the belief that Ye Lin would help her, which was why she went as far as to completely turn against La Jingzhou.
Now.
Ye Lin didn’t want to deal with her at all?
And Ye Xiao showed such indifference!
What about her?
What is she supposed to do?
La Jingzhou couldn’t help but sneer, “Bai Shilan, it seems that betraying me didn’t bring you any benefits.”
His voice was filled with malice; obviously, he had no intention of letting Bai Shilan off.
Bai Shilan trembled with fear, her whole body wobbling, as if she was going to collapse at any moment.
“Jingzhou,” Liu Yan spoke feebly, “I’ve thought about you and Bai Shilan all last night, and I’ve come to terms with it. Although our meeting was based on a lie, and our time together was filled with lies, I still…”
Liu Yan sighed, “Forget it, what’s the use of saying this now? Huanyu must be in chaos by now. Go deal with it first.”
Liu Yan looked like she was in pain but tried to keep a brave face.
La Jingzhou looked at her, feeling a twinge of true pity.
He had believed Bai Shilan was simple-minded and devoted solely to him, yet she stabbed him in the back.
The one who was truly devoted to him turned out to be Liu Yan.
Previously, he had really wronged Liu Yan!
La Jingzhou softened his voice, “Xiaoyan, I did make some mistakes in the past. But everything I schemed, I did to be better for you. Don’t worry, in the future, I won’t let you suffer anymore. I’ll…”
As La Jingzhou spoke, he moved forward to embrace Liu Yan.
Liu Yan’s eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, and she was just about to step back.
Ye Bolin stood directly in front of her, blocking La Jingzhou.
La Jingzhou frowned, “Ye Bolin, what do you mean!”
Ye Bolin sneered, “La Jingzhou, don’t think you can get off scot-free. I’ve already notified President Liu, and he and his wife are on their way here on a plane. He will certainly pursue the matter of you stealing secrets to the end. You better think about how long you’re going to stay in this prison.”
La Jingzhou’s complexion changed, and he looked towards Liu Yan, “Xiaoyan, I didn’t mean for things to be this way. Can you give me some time to explain properly?”
Liu Yan appeared heartbroken, yet she still put on a strong front, “Jingzhou, I still don’t know how to face you, but don’t worry, I will try to persuade dad and mom. I… how can I bear to let you…”
Liu Yan had a look of being unable to voice her feelings.
Of course, she would persuade, but the way she persuaded, well, that was uncertain.
La Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief as he said affectionately, “After all this is settled, let’s get married and live our lives together.”
Liu Yan said nothing, displaying a somewhat shy demeanor.
La Jingzhou smiled faintly.
He knew it.
There was no problem with his male charm.
If Bai Shilan cuckolded him, it was her lack of taste.
At least Liu Yan still loved him unconditionally.
La Jingzhou had no suspicion that Liu Yan was putting on a performance because her image as a love-struck woman was too deeply ingrained in his mind.
All he had to do now was wait for the Liu Family to drop the charges, then he would clean up his image with a press release and continue joyfully as his company’s CEO.
