Filming was done in 360 degrees with no blind spots.
Then she secretly called the police:
“Hello? Officer? There’s been a burglary in my house!”
When the police arrived, the three of them were completely lost in the chaos on the living room floor!
“Don’t move!!”
A sharp shout made Wang Da and Wang Er immediately drop their guns, leaving only Xie Silin writhing on the floor…
Xie Qingsong and Wu Fengrao had been called home by the local police station.
As soon as they stepped through the door, it felt like the sky had collapsed.
The officers held down the two tall men, while Xie Silin lay on the floor, naked, writhing, and making indecent noises. On the sofa sat Xie Li, crying in gasps.
The sky had fallen.
The ground had caved in.
“Mom, Dad, you finally came back! There’s been a burglary! And… they did something to my sister… sob sob sob”
Xie Li cried so hard her hands stiffened into claw shapes, rolling her eyes intermittently.
Police: “???”
Xie Qingsong stepped forward to explain:
“Officers, this is my daughter. She had a high fever and seizures as a child, leaving her with residual effects. Maybe she got too emotional and had an episode.”
The officers looked at Xie Li, who was starting to gesture with her left hand in sixes and her right in sevens, and sighed.
The girl looked delicate, but had this condition. Poor thing.
Wang Da and Wang Er were furious!
The woman got herself into trouble and was now shirking responsibility? She had led them into the house!
But they could only endure it.
They’d done so many dirty deeds for Wu Fengrao and knew if they got caught, they shouldn’t say anything, just wait for Wu Fengrao to bail them out.
Bang bang!!
The young officer quickly kicked Wang Da and Wang Er hard, making them retch violently.
“Shameless! Can’t control what’s in your pants? I’ll cut it off myself!”
Cursing, the officer dragged Wang Da and Wang Er out.
Xie Qingsong’s head was buzzing, and Wu Fengrao’s mind had gone blank.
Was everything ruined now?
Those two idiots had messed up and slept with Silin by mistake!
Next to Xie Silin was a camera, which the police picked up to inspect:
“Oh my…”
These photos were way too shocking!
Xie Qingsong quickly ran over, clutching his head, and looked over the shoulder of the officer.
“Ah!!!!”
He let out a shrill scream like a prairie dog!
The officer, startled, reflexively punched him:
“What the hell!!”
Afterwards, the officer felt a little apologetic:
“Sorry, it’s an occupational hazard. And seriously, why are you screaming in my ear?!”
Xie Qingsong sat on the floor holding his nose, and Wu Fengrao hurried over to help him.
“Qingsong, what happened?”
Xie Qingsong shook his head, eyes bloodshot:
“Nothing… nothing.”
Thankfully!
Thankfully, nothing from the camera had leaked. Luckily, they had returned just in time!
If someone else had seen those photos, how would Silin live? The Xie family’s reputation would have been completely ruined!
“Officer, please… this must not…”
Xie Qingsong choked up. The officer nodded:
“Don’t worry, nothing will leak, but we must take the camera as evidence.”
Xie Li, sitting on the sofa watching coldly, pressed her lips together.
This had originally been a trap for her. Judging by the look on their faces, Xie Qingsong and Wu Fengrao must have known.
They cared for Silin but were willing to push her into the abyss.
“What do we do, Qingsong? What do we do?”
Wu Fengrao realized too those two had made a mistake. They had intended to target Xie Li but ended up with Xie Silin.
Xie Qingsong closed his eyes, forcing himself to stay calm.
“Officer, can we just not press charges on this?”
If this blew up, Silin and the Xie family’s reputations would be ruined. Settling it privately could at least preserve some dignity.
Besides, if those two were taken to the station and something came out in interrogation, Silin, being involved, wouldn’t escape blame either.
Right now, with the political movement in full swing, the family’s escape to Hong Kong was urgent. If they got tangled in this now, it could delay their departure.
“No way!”
The young officer glared at Xie Qingsong, while the older officer gestured for him to calm down, then turned to Xie Qingsong:
“This… depends on what you do.”
Of course, that meant money!
“We’ll take them for now. You’ll have a day to prepare.”
The older officer’s words were smooth.
When out on the street, they had to bring them back, make a cursory inspection, and then release them.
Xie Qingsong nodded repeatedly:
“Okay! Don’t worry!”
Even though the Xies were rich and influential, during this politically sensitive movement, they had to heed appearances.
The two were taken away.
Xie Qingsong turned to Xie Li and shouted:
“You little brat! Why did you call the police? Do you know how difficult you’ve made this? You’ve only made things worse!”
Wu Fengrao quickly blocked him:
“Qingsong, don’t yell at her. Don’t make yourself sick with anger!”
She lowered her voice:
“She’s useful to us now. When we escape, she can draw the attention of the revolutionary committee. Later we can drug her don’t touch her yet!”
For a brief moment, Xie Li felt sorry for the original owner.
That night, she went to the police station.
She found the older officer who had come to her house and went straight to the point:
“Officer, we cannot withdraw this case. No matter how much Xie Qingsong offers, I’ll double it for you.”
The older officer swallowed.
He recognized Xie Li and immediately realized she intended to ruin the Xie family.
“What benefit would it bring you if the Xie’s lost face?”
The officer couldn’t read the girl. Her bright, flower-like eyes hid too many secrets.
Xie Li smiled:
“Officer, it’s your duty to handle cases normally. Take the money, I promise. But if you act unprofessionally…”
The officer felt a chill.
Even if someone reported him, if he didn’t handle the case properly, he’d be in trouble too.
“Fine.”
He gave in.
Take the money, no matter what.
Besides, the risk was low, and the price was high!
The situation was spiraling.
The Pei family got the news too they learned the Xie’s had called the police and Wang Da and Wang Er were taken in.
Qi Yuehua was anxious!
She didn’t care about Wang Da and Wang Er dying; she cared if they couldn’t withstand questioning and revealed everything that had happened then it would be over!
She hurried to pull strings, but in this sensitive period, their capitalist identity made people wary. Anyone normally seeking favors from her family didn’t want to get involved, fearing they’d be dragged into the political movement.
Qi Yuehua had no choice but to confess to Pei Jianmin.
Bang!!
“Idiot!!”
Pei Jianmin slammed his hand on the table.
His hand went numb.
“How dare you two act without consulting me? Do you know what time it is? These past few days, our household has been chaotic! Two incompetent fools!”
Recently, Pei Jianmin had been busy transferring the family’s assets. He had already arranged a ship. Once everything was moved, the family would leave Shanghai temporarily.
But the oversight was tight. The revolutionary committee and the Red Armbands from Section 13 made frequent inspections, so assets had to be moved in small increments at night.
All Shanghai Chamber of Commerce bosses were doing this.
And now, at this critical moment, something like this happened!
If Wang Da and Wang Er couldn’t withstand interrogation and revealed Pei Shuchen’s involvement, it would be a disaster!!
