In the past, he would have believed she was capable of such maliciousness, but now she had evidently changed.
She was filled with compassion for even stray puppies now, how could she be malicious?
But then, what was with her unusual reaction?
Dongfang Yu was somewhat puzzled, but he didn’t dwell on it too much.
He was sure that Hai Xiaotang hadn’t been harmed by any thugs, as the doctor had examined her at the time and claimed that she was fine.
Maybe her reaction earlier didn’t signify anything.
Having confirmed the suspect’s departure, Dongfang Yu and his party were just about to leave, when they suddenly saw Lin Xinxin walking into the police station.
She didn’t notice them and immediately asked a policeman, “Hello officer, where’s Wang Qiang? I heard he’s in trouble, do you know what’s happened?” The policeman countered, “Are you Lin Xinxin, the one who grew up with him in the same orphanage?”
Lin Xinxin nodded, “Yes, I am. I’m sort of like his older sister…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly noticed Dongfang Yu and his group!
Lin Xinxin was taken aback, a moment of panic flashing in her eyes.
Why are they here?
Did they hear her conversation with the policeman just now? Did they find out about her being an orphan?!
Lin Xinxin’s face paled slightly, she was extremely worried that Dongfang Yu might have discovered she was an orphan.
She had always been ashamed of her background and never discussed it with anyone, fearing they would look down on her.
Yet just now, her origins had been humiliatingly exposed!
Dongfang Yu was certainly taken aback to learn about Lin Xinxin’s background, and even more so that she knew Wang Qiang.
All in all, this was quite a surprise to him.
But the most surprised of them all was Hai Xiaotang, her face changed yet again, a storm of emotions flashing in her eyes that no one could understand! Her palms closed in a tight, silent grip of resentment!
Lin Xinxin composed herself and walked over to them, “Mr. Yu, why are you here?” She asked, her gaze fixed anxiously on Dongfang Yu.
The policeman interjected, surprised, “You know each other? That’s a coincidence! Miss Lin, they are the complainants against Wang Qiang. He assaulted these two ladies here.”
Lin Xinxin was shocked!
She didn’t know Qiao Ning, but she knew Hai Xiaotang!
“Madam?” Lin Xinxin couldn’t believe it, “Wang Qiang assaulted them? What on earth happened?!”
The policeman quickly explained the situation.
Listening to the explanation, Lin Xinxin felt a headache coming on. This was bad, how could Wang Qiang do such a thing?!
“Mr. Yu, Madam, I had no idea he would do such a thing. I truly didn’t know…” Lin Xinxin tried to defend herself anxiously, hoping they wouldn’t misjudged her and take their anger out on her.
Dongfang Yu showed no expression as he asked in a low voice, “You two grew up in an orphanage together?”
Lin Xinxin’s eyes flinched slightly, he had heard everything after all!
“Yes… but we lost contact a long time ago. I had no idea he was in trouble, I…
Mr. Yu, Madam, I’m really sorry, I had no idea any of this would happen!” Lin Xinxin apologized distressedly.
Any reasonable person would know that whatever Wang Qiang had done had nothing to do with Lin Xinxin.
Still, she chose to apologize, leaving no room for any reproach.
Even though Dongfang Yu wished to kill Wang Qiang, he couldn’t take his anger out on Lin Xinxin.
She wasn’t in the wrong. Her only fault was that she had a pitiful background and grew up in the same orphanage as Wang Qiang.
None of this was her fault.
Just as Dongfang Yu was about to tell her there was no need for an apology, Hai Xiaotang suddenly pushed him aside and took a step forward!
