First, it was Liu Chun, then it was Xing Shu Xing Shu could not understand the kidnapper’s logic. She had nothing to do with Liu Chun. When the police arrived, Xing Shu’s heart was in her mouth. The police officers were very polite. After all, they had already met last night. “Miss Xing Shu, please come with us to the police station to make a statement first.”

Xing Shu nodded and handed her cell phone to the police as evidence. The business trip had to be postponed. After all, her safety was more important. Xing Shu got into the police car. As soon as she arrived at the police station, she saw Wu Minxia and Xing Zewu, who had come to bail Xing Linlin out. Their countenance was very grim, especially when they saw Xing Shu. They wished they could tear her apart.

Wu Minxia’s lips trembled. “Xing Shu, you’ve already framed Linlin and sent her to jail. What else do you want?! Why are you so vicious?! Why are you here at the police station now? Are you trying to add insult to injury?!”

Xing Shu: “Madam Wu Minxia, you’re overthinking it. I’m not interested in Xing Linlin’s affairs.”

Wu Minxia barked, “Not interested? If it weren’t for your dirty tricks back then, we wouldn’t have been duped into bringing you back to the Xing family. It was a setup right from the start. You deliberately lured Linlin to commit a crime and then exposed everything on the day she returned to us. You’re really vicious.”

Xing Shu knew that she had nothing to say to the Xing family. Just as she was about to leave, Xing Zewu said, “Xing Shu, what do you think Grandpa will do if he finds out about this?” This was the second time Xing Zewu had used the elderly man to threaten her.

Xing Shu snorted. “Xing Zewu, don’t you find it ridiculous that you used your grandfather to threaten an outsider like me?

Xing Zewu replied, “It doesn’t matter if you’re an outsider or not. You know very well how Grandpa treats you. Do you want Grandpa to know about what happened at the banquet last night? If you dont want anything to happen to Grandpa, don’t tell anyone about Linlin.” When he mentioned Xing Linlin, his tone became much gentler. Xing Shu felt a chill run down her spine. He clearly knew that Xing Linlin was his biological sister, but he still did not give up. No wonder Xing Linlin had him eating out of her hand and used him to the core. What a stupid man.

Amid their conversation, Xing Linlin was brought out by the police. She seemed to have been put through the wringer—in just one night, she had lost weight and looked listless.

Wu Minxia’s heart ached as she held onto Xing Linlin’s arm. “Linlin, how are

Xing Linlin’s face was pale. The moment she saw Xing Shu, her eyes were filled with hatred. “Xing Shu, what are you doing here? Are you here to gloat?” Yesterday’s incident had more or less made her break down. Coupled with the fact that she had been locked up for the entire night, she did not have much rationality left. She stared daggers at Xing Shu. “Let me tell you, don’t be smug. You didn’t win. Just wait and see!”

Xing Shu was not scared off by Xing Linlin’s harsh words. On the other hand, Wu Minxia trembled—she felt as if Xing Linlin had turned into a stranger overnight. To her, Xing Linlin had always been gentle. Even if she was wronged, she would do everything she could and think of others. Xing Linlin’s eyes turned red. She looked at Wu Minxia and said, “Mom, I want to go back and rest…” She weakly wheedled with Xing Zewu. “Brother, can I ride with

Xing Zewu nodded. As he helped Xing Linlin into the car, he did not forget to instruct Xing Shu, “This matter ends here. Mom and Dad will talk to you in detail later. There’s no need for you to come all the way to the police station to add insult to injury. No matter how bad Linlin is, she’s still the daughter of the Xing family. The wealth she has now is something you can’t earn even if you slog in Cheng Corporation Group for a lifetime. Xing Shu, you’re in the financial industry. You probably know that an individual can’t win against capital.” What he meant was that Xing Linlin had the Xing family behind her, while Xing Shu had nothing.

Xing Linlin was touched. She leaned against Xing Zewu and said, “Brother, thank you.”

Xing Shu replied with mirth. “Do you think your Xing family is very powerful? The corporate world is unpredictable. Who knows if your Xing family will go bankrupt next?”

“Xing Shu, you!” Xing Zewu was furious. Xing Linlin put her hand on his arm and shook her head. “Brother, forget it. Xing Shu is just being glib.” She did not want to stay here anymore and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Xing Zewu could not be bothered with Xing Shu. He closed the car door while Wu Minxia rode in another car. Xing Shu stood where she was and finally enjoyed peace and quietude.

The police officer told Xing Shu about the Xing family’s donation. “The Xing family bailed Xing Linlin out. In order to salvage Xing Linlin’s reputation, they even donated 10 million yuan to Radiant Welfare Home in her name. Miss Xing Shu, take a seat first.” The police officer was an understanding person and saw the Xing family’s true nature. “It’s a good thing that you left such a family..”
