Chapter 165 - Your Game Ends Here [2]

Shi Lian hurries to find her phone which she kept under the chair. Bending on her knees, she forwards her hand and notices that the phone is still there, she smiles and grabbing the phone, gets up. 

She turns to face the police but before that she glances at her uncle. She sees the nervousness on his face and it's for the very first time that she made him scared. 

Walking to the police, she says, "Here . I recorded everything. He admits he kidnapped and also tried to kill me."

The police ask her to play the recording and she taps on the play button without any waiting. Mo Zheng Yi cannot think of anything else because as in the recording, his voice is crystal clear and whatever he said, it's all on the phone. He is doomed. 

After the police are done hearing the recording, they assure Shi Lian to make sure Zheng Yi never tries to do anything like that. 

"Officer! I didn't do anything. She is framing me! She must have hired someone to fabricate it!" her uncle keeps on denying but it's all in vain. The evidence she has is a solid one. 

Two men go to catch Zheng Yi, the other two go to release Lao who seem to be unconscious because of too much loss of blood. 

"What are you arresting me for? I didn't do anything! Release me!" Zheng Yi yells but the police ignore his protests and put the handcuffs around both his wrist. Zheng Yi keeps on yelling, "No! This is not fair! That bitch is framing me!"

The other officer stays by Shi Lian's side and asks her some questions which she answers honestly. She requests him about Lao, "Please before you put him into prison, make sure his injuries are healed." 

The officer nods, offering her a professional smile. "Will do. It's the first time I have seen a victim requesting for the delinquent."

She smiles nervously. "I know he did wrong but I can't bear to see him in such a condition."

He nods and continues asking her questions. Her uncle is still yelling and protesting that he isn't guilty. 

Getting annoyed by his voice, the head officer who is standing beside Shi Lian orders the other men to drag him with all force. "Stop with your barking! Take him away!"

The men take him with force and Zheng Yi tries his very to stop them but they are more in number. As he passed by Shi Lian, their eyes meet, both glaring. She says something that makes him shake with fury. "Your game ends here."

"You bitch! Just you wait!" he barks even though he is out of the room. She can still hear him barking downstairs. 

"All done but for the further process, you need to come with us, Miss Mo," the officer says to her. 

"Sure" she replies and they both head downstairs, along with Xu Duan. 

Outside the house, the ambulance has already reached to take Lao. Her uncle is inside the police car along with other police officers. 

"I'll see you at the PSD" the officer says to her and when she nods, he gets inside his car. 

Now that the police have left, Shi Lian can talk to Xu Duan. 

She smiles, "I need to thank you for a big. Without you, it wouldn't have been possible."

His expressionless face remains the same. "Yes, I do give credit to myself."

Shi Lian cannot help but laugh and surprisingly, she notices a small smile on his face. "I'll transfer the money into your account by today," she tells him. 

"You better," he tells, his tone serious.

After she goes to where she has parked her car and Xu Duan to his own way. He doesn't need to go to the PSD as per Shi Lian. 

Getting inside her car, she shuts the car door. She is tired but at last, it's over. Everything that her uncle will be disclosed today and then she needn't be scared. 

As clutches her seatbelt, her phone rings. She guesses it must be Zichen since he has been calling her numerous times but when she looks over the screen, she finds it's the creepy man. Her breath shook and her eyebrows are presses together. Why is he calling at this moment? Does he know what happened? 

She picks his call and brings the phone close to her ear and cautiously says, "Why are you calling at this hour?"

She hears him laughing evilly. "Well done Shi Lian. You are more than what I thought you are."

She has no idea why this man is praising her all of a sudden. "Say clearly" she demands, looking straight ahead of the road. The area is isolated with no one around her. 

"You cleverly sent your dear Uncle to prison. That's a commendable job."

Her eyes widen in horror and she hastily looks to her left, right, front and back, trying to find any strange man but there is no one. 

"How do you know?" he asks, her tone desperate. 

He sneers, "I know everything." his statement gives a shiver down her spine. 

She gulps, suddenly feeling her throat dry. "Who are you even? " she mumbles. She is asking the question more to herself. 

"Well, the call was to congratulate you. Now, the other thing" she speaks, "you have two days left with you."

She remembers very well about the deadline. Closing her eyes, she grits her teeth, frustrated because she does not have a single clue about the ring. "I know."

With that, he hangs up and leaves Shi Lian in deep thinking. Throwing her phone to the cupboard, she starts the car and presses on the acceleration forcefully. Anger takes the best in her and even though she is glad about her uncle being caught, the thing about this ring is making her blood boil. 

**

After she finishes the work in the PSD, she directly heads towards her home. She is exhausted and every muscle inside her is tingling when she does the slightest movement. 

She has ignored calls from Zichen knowing she isn't ready to talk to anyone nor does she feels good. She knows he will ask questions which she will find hard to answer. So it's better to regain yourself first and then try talking to him. 

She reaches the Mo mansion and stops the car engine. She steps out of the car but then her eyes go to something else. There are two other cars in front, it isn't theirs. Upon getting a close look, she guesses it's her Uncle's car. So that means, Hui Yin is here. The news of him being arrested is already out. 

Taking the rest of the thing from her car, she heads inside, ready to face the upcoming hurricane. 

Just as she expected, Hui Yin is here along with her children. The sound of her crying can be heard outside the house. Scrutinizing, she goes to the living room from where the sound is coming. 

As soon as she takes the first step inside the room, Hui Yin starts barking, "How dare you, Shi Lian? How could you do this!" 

Shi Lian can notice her eyes are red from all the crying. Her eyes turn to her parents who are looking at her with worried eyes. Her mother is whimpering already. 

"How could I not, Aunt?" she retorts back, walking inside. "After what he did, how could I not do anything?"

Sha Sha hurriedly comes to her side and pressing her arm, she asks, her tone desperate, "Shi, what happened? Why is your Uncle in the prison? What did he do to you?"

Shi Lian puts her hand on her mother's, trying to calm her down. "He is in prison because he deserved it."

"Mind what you are saying, Shi Lian!" Cai Li pops, glaring at her. She does not want to say anything to them but she does need to tell her parents about what her uncle did. Thankfully, she has the recording with her. 

"Hear this," she tells, looking at each one of them as she taps on the play button. 

Her uncle's voice fills in the room and she glances every few seconds later to her mother and her father who is sitting on the couch, listening attentively. 

After the recording ends, she looks at her mother who is sobbing uncontrollably. "You don't need to cry, mother. It's all over now."

Hui Yin, Cai Li, and Yinzhen are all dumbfounded. They cannot reciprocate anything. Hui Yin drops to the floor, getting the shock from hearing the recording. 

"No, no-no. This isn't true!" Cai Li denies. She is having a hard time believing what her father did. She knew her father hates Shi Lian and she even knows her father kidnapped her but about killing her, she seems to be unknown about it. 

Mo Zheng Yuan comes to Shi Lian's side, his face etched with worry and fury. "Daughter, why didn't you tell us about all this? I-I...how could he do that to you?" he grits, feeling ashamed that her own brother tried to kill her daughter. He also feels ashamed that he was unaware of all that happened. 

"Father, it's all over now. I am fine, you don't need to worry" she assures him. 

But her father is furious. He turns his eyes to Hui Yin, glaring, "You weren't aware of his deeds? Or were you with him as well?" he asks, his voice thundering. 

Hui Yin is still in shock. She meekly turns her head and looks up. She shakes her head, looking at him with her dead eyes. She does not know anything about the kidnapping not is she aware of the killing. All she knew was that he wanted the Chairman position and for that, he will do anything but she does not realize he will go this far. 

"How could he do that to his own niece! How could he?" 

Shi Lian feels upset seeing her parents unhappy about all these. Her mother is crying like anything and her father is damn near killing someone just by his murderous glare.
