Chapter 201: The Mastermind Isn’t Important

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The police were confused. This was really one heck of a family—all trying to shirk responsibility. No one wanted to admit that it was their idea.

Li Jin said that Song Yan was the mastermind, Song Yan said that Chen Lian was the mastermind, while Chen Lian also accused Song Yan.

The police officers gathered for a small meeting.

“The results of the separate interrogation showed that more people said that Song Yan is the mastermind. It seems that there is a high probability that Song Yan was the one who did this.” The police officer Xiaomin analyzed the situation with her notebook.

The middle-aged man beside her, Officer Zhong, smiled and shook his head. “Xiaomin, you’re still too naive. For a family conflict like this, it doesn’t matter who the mastermind is. Everyone must agree.”

“I also know a little about Xia Wan’s family. This family is like bloodsuckers. They see Xia Wan’s family doing well, and they want to take advantage of them now.”

Xiaomin looked at Officer Zhong in confusion. “Officer Zhong, since we can’t tell who the mastermind is, why are we questioning them separately? Why is it so serious?

Officer Zhong smiled slightly. “Of course, it’s for Xia Wan’s family. I can see that Li Jin and the others are all trying to scheme against Xia Wan. In that case, why don’t we allow them to have some internal conflict? That way, we can indirectly help Xia Wan’s family.”

Xiaomin nodded and wrote it down in her notebook. She did not forget to praise him. “You’re real knowledgable, Officer Zhong. It turns out that you need to pay attention to the details while mediating family conflict.”

According to the law, because Xia Wan refused to issue a letter of understanding, Li Jin and the others would all be locked up for ten days once the interrogation ended.

Hearing that he had to stay in prison for ten days, Li Jin was so scared that his body went weak.

Her face was no longer as arrogant as before. She was now begging Officer Zhong. “Let me see my son. He definitely won’t allow me to go to jail. I’m already so old. If I get thrown in jail, my body won’t be able to take it!”

“He’s my son. If I fall sick here, he’ll suffer retribution!” The wrath of a monster brewed inside Li Jin and her eyes were filled with hatred.

Officer Zhong initially had some pity for her. After all, Li Jin was of age. However, when he saw her expression change so quickly, he directly shook off her arm.

“The rule of law governs this society, and the law is above human relations. Although Xia Hai is your son, your actions have already violated the law. I’m sorry, but you deserve to be imprisoned. I hope you’ll learn your lesson this time and not do anything illegal in the future.”

After saying that, Officer Zhong waved his hand, and Li Jin and the others were taken away.

Without the interference of Li Jin and the others, Xia Wan’s business began to do very well. School was about to start, and she was prepared to sell all the goods on hand, then prepare to buy autumn clothes.

On the other side, Xia Ru had finally arrived in Beijing after four days of rushing. At this time, Lu Lin had already arrived at the Lu family’s old residence because he had a car to pick him up.

At the entrance of the old mansion, Xia Ru was stopped.

“Stop. Who are you? Who allowed you to come here?” The security guard scolded Xia Ru with a serious expression.

They had been security guards for a long time, and there were many people who came to visit the Lu family. However, everyone was wearing branded clothes or custom-made clothes. The woman in front of them was wearing cheap goods from the street stalls. Even the clothes he bought were more expensive than hers.

Obviously, such a person could not be a guest of the Lu family.

Xia Ru revealed a weak expression and said to the security guard, “I’m a descendant of the Xia family. My grandfather and Old Master Lu are comrades-in-arms. My grandfather even saved Old Master Lu’s life. If you tell Old Master Lu this, he’ll definitely be willing to see me.”

The security guard looked at Xia Ru suspiciously and sneered. “Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think I’ll believe you just because you said that? Hurry up and leave. Don’t get in the way, or I’ll kick you out.”

Xia Ru was still explaining, but the security guard did not believe her at all.

“I’m a descendant of the Xia family. I’m engaged to Lu Lin. The Lu family can’t deny this marriage!” Xia Ru shouted directly.

A luxury car happened to pass by. The security guard immediately greeted her respectfully, “Madam.”

The car door opened, and a graceful and elegant woman walked out. Her skin was well-maintained, and she was wearing a classic cheongsam. Her every move looked very charming.

The woman waved at the security guard, then walked up to Xia Ru and asked, “You just said that you are a descendant of the Xia family and have an engagement with our Lu Lin?”
