Song Kai couldn’t bear it any longer and said, “Song Fan has been living outside. Nothing happened during those few days at home. That servant must be lying.”
The police officers couldn’t offer any defense, but the servant inside the room persisted, demanding to see Song Fan. She insisted that she wouldn’t confess unless she could speak to Song Fan directly. To proceed with the case, the police sought Song Fan’s consent to meet the servant.
Song Fan stood up and said, “Let’s go meet her. I’m not very familiar with the servants at home. I don’t think I know them well.”
With that, she entered the interrogation room. The servant stood up upon seeing Song Fan and said, “Miss, I didn’t expect you to call the police.” “Tell me, when did I beat you up?” Song Fan had no patience for this, fully aware that the servant was being used as a scapegoat.
The servant’s rehearsed speech was interrupted, and she struggled for breath. However, thinking about the money Meng Yu had promised her, she continued, “Eldest Miss, you might have forgotten, but the day after you returned home, you quarreled with Second Miss. You were in a bad mood, and I happened to be passing by the backyard, so you pulled me into the fight. I didn’t dare to resist because you’re Eldest Miss, so I endured it.”
“But I also have my dignity, so I planned to find a chance to get back at you.
Some time ago, I overheard a phone conversation between you and the eldest young master. I learned about the rumors between you and Mr. Gu, so I knew what to do. I went into Second Miss’s room and used her computer to write that post. ”
The servant put great effort into her story, but Song Fan nearly fell asleep listening- After she finished. Song Fan opened her eves and said. “Your story is quite lengthy. If I don’t have patience, I won’t make it through.”
The servant hadn’t expected such a reaction from Song Fan. She had anticipated Song Fan’s anger, thinking it would help prove the abuse allegations.
However, Song Fan remained calm, sitting across from the servant and asking, “Let’s not dwell on whether I mistreated you or not. Even if you wanted revenge on me, why did you choose to spread rumors? Moreover, you used Song Yin’s computer to post. How did you obtain the login address and password for the Eke Forum?”
The servant struggled to answer these questions because she hadn’t actually written the post and therefore had no basis for her lies.
Song Fan pressed further, “You mentioned overhearing my conversation with Song Ting and then writing the first post to spread rumors. However, the photo in the second post was taken at Eke. When did you go there?”
The servant couldn’t provide a satisfactory explanation for these suspicious details. She was employed at the Song residence full-time, making it improbable for her to have the opportunity to go out and take photos.
Song Ting and Song Kai, who were standing nearby, sensed that something was amiss. The servant’s account was clearly inconsistent.
Both of them frowned and looked serious. This situation was unfair to Song Fan, and as her older brothers, they felt obligated to assist her.
“Since you can’t provide specifics, it’s evident you didn’t do it. Why did you feel compelled to falsely confess?” Song Ting inquired.
The servant lowered her head and nervously mumbled, “I did it. At that time, Second Miss’s computer was not entirely shut down, and the webpage was still open to the forum, so I wrote and posted it.”
Song Kai found this puzzling. “Why did you admit to this? Did someone promise you something in return for you to do this?”
Upon hearing the words, the servant lowered her head and remained silent. Her objective was to obtain money from Meng Yu, so she had to shoulder the blame. Thus, she chose to withhold further details.
Song Fan concluded her questioning and departed. She didn’t expect to resolve the matter with just a few inquiries. Meng Yu’s methods surpassed those of Song Yin. The maid had likely already been manipulated into confessing. There was no need for Song Fan to continue questioning.
“Miss Song, do you have any objections?” Qi Shuo asked.
“No, let the police press charges against her and proceed with the lawsuit to take her to court. Let this matter become widely known, you don’t need to be concerned about my reputation,” Song Fan replied.
Qi Shuo grasped Song Fan’s intentions and nodded, saying, “Rest assured, I’ll handle this properly.”
Now that the servant had been confirmed as the perpetrator, Song Yin could be released immediately. Upon her release, she rushed to Song Ting’s side, her face filled with anxiety. “Brother, I was so scared..”
