“Are you Ms. Fu Yahui? We are charging you for the crime of embezzlement. Please cooperate with the police officers who are investigating the case. We would like you to make a trip to the police station with us.”
Fu Yahui was shocked when she heard what the police officer said.
This was impossible. Her lawyer had clearly told her that she did not need to worry because the police did not have sufficient evidence on hand to charge her for any crime.
“No, this cannot be true. I know that you are all actors that Jiang Yuning has hired to put on a show.”
Fu Yahui yelled as she pointed at the men in uniforms.
Jiang Yuning did not move but simply remained seated as she watched Fu Yahui’s reaction to the arrest.
“Miss Fu, this is my official police identification card. You have no right to object to this arrest, so please cooperate with us and follow us back to the police station to assist with our investigation,” the man replied as he presented his police identification card and the detention certificate that had been issued officially. “Take her away.”
Fu Yahui stood up immediately as soon as she heard what the police officer had said. “No, this cannot be true. I am not going with you. I want to speak with my lawyer first.”
After speaking, Fu Yahui quickly dashed out of the hall using the side doors before escaping onto the elevator inside Dongheng Enterprise.
The uniformed men quickly chased after her. In such a situation, they could officially arrest her using force.
The situation became very chaotic all of a sudden and the reporters present were all eager to get a photograph or video recording of Fu Yahui being taken away by the police officers. However, one of Dongheng Enterprise’s employee was very alert and he immediately made an announcement. “Today’s press conference will end here. I hope that all of you can leave the premises voluntarily because it would be inconvenient for everyone to be here as this is an office building.”
However, at this time, everyone saw the police officers leading a handcuffed Fu Yahui out of Dongheng Enterprise.
She had been arrested on the spot!
The situation was hilarious and absolutely unpredictable. Just a few minutes ago, Fu Yahui had confidently declared her innocence. However, the situation had suddenly turned out to be the exact opposite.
The truth had finally come to light and everyone realized that Fu Yahui was the one lying all along.
It was unbelievable that Fu Yahui would be arrested and handcuffed on the spot.
In order to gain more information about Fu Yahui’s arrest, the reporters started flocking towards Jiang Yuning.
“Miss Jiang, how do you feel now since your mother has just been arrested in front of you?”
“Miss Jiang, do you have anything to say about the situation that has just unfolded?”
“Miss Jiang…”
Faced with countless questions, Jiang Yuning stood up before she faced the reporters and said, “I have already said that this is a personal family matter. I am only here today because I had no other choice. Although I am a celebrity who usually has no private life, I still hope that I am able to maintain some dignity and privacy as a member of the Jiang family when it comes to matters involving my family. I have not received any information from the police and I am still waiting for them to follow up with me. I am grateful for your attention, but I have nothing more to say about this matter. Thank you.”
After that, Jiang Yuning tried to get away from the reporters by walking towards the entrance. As soon as she opened the door, Ku Jie and the bodyguards who had been on standby immediately surrounded Jiang Yuning and protected her from the reporters as they escorted her out of Dongheng Enterprise.
…
Everything had gone beyond everyone’s expectations.
Everyone who was watching the press conference and even most of the reporters who were present had initially believed everything that Fu Yahui had said. This was because Jiang Yuning was merely an artiste with a bad reputation who was trying hard to make it big in the entertainment industry, whereas Fu Yahui was the deputy director of a multinational company. It was only natural for people to believe that Fu Yahui would be more credible in comparison to Jiang Yuning.
However, everyone was really surprised at Fu Yahui’s arrest by the police officers on the spot.
She was arrested on the spot!
She had been shouting out confidently and full of excitement up till the next minute when she was suddenly handcuffed and taken away by the police officers.
This world was really unpredictable.
Looking at Jiang Yuning’s reaction, everyone knew that she would not be willing to share any more information regarding this matter. She did not want to waste the public’s time on their personal family matters. Perhaps this was what had she meant when she said that she wanted to retain whatever dignity that she could as a member of the Jiang family.
[Looks like Ms. Ava really did run away with money belonging to the Jiang family. Why else would she have been arrested?]
[I would not have been able to stay as calm as Jiang Yuning did if I were in her position. I hope that Ms. Ava gets the punishment that she deserves as soon as possible!]
[I suddenly feel that Jiang Yuning is very pitiful. She must have suffered a lot in the past.]
[I can finally see the difference between people with a good education and cultivation. I really admire Jiang Yuning for being able to stay calm amidst everything that her mother had done to her.]
[Oh no…Sister Yuning is so pitiful. Her mother abandoned her when she was just nineteen years old. It must have been difficult for her to get into the entertainment industry just to make sure that she could provide for her family.]
The netizens started openly expressing their opinions and regrets as soon as they saw Fu Yahui getting arrested.
Currently, the netizens and public were all standing on Jiang Yuning’s side.
They were extremely disgusted at Fu Yahui and Dongheng Enterprise for hiding the truth.
…
“Everything is over now. The only thing you can do is to wait for the police to finish investigating the case.” Ku Jie could not help but comfort Jiang Yuning, who had been silent ever since they left Dongheng Enterprise. “Don’t be like this. Didn’t the police arrest that person on the spot? We should be happy now.”
“I am happy, but I just cannot stop thinking about my father,” Jiang Yuning quickly replied. “Do not worry, brother. The police officers can do whatever they need to do. I will not have any sympathy for her.”
“What are you going to do about Huo Zhendong and Huo Yuxi then?”
“I will wait for the police to conduct their investigations and see how much information Fu Yahui will reveal then,” Jiang Yuning replied. “I want to know exactly when Huo Zhendong and Fu Yahui had gotten into a relationship and if the both of them had anything to do with my father’s disappearance.”
Ku Jie nodded his head because that was the only thing that they could do now. “Go home and rest. Do not think too much about it.”
“Brother, you do not have to worry. I will not be upset because of that woman,” Jiang Yuning replied as she rolled her eyes. “You do not have to send me home. Can you send me to Grandpa Tan’s house instead? I have to start preparing for my role since the filming for <Mysteries of Heaven> is starting soon.”
Ku Jie had no other choice but to send Jiang Yuning to Grandpa Tan’s house.
As Ku Jie was driving home, he could not help sending a text message to Lu Jingzhi: “Remember to comfort my sister later tonight. She may be smiling, but she is actually feeling very bitter and upset inside.”
“I know that.” Lu Jingzhi replied in three brief words as he was busy with work in his office.
“Hey! Is this person implying that I am being a busybody?” Ku Jie slammed his cell phone in annoyance.
He wanted to reply with a text message, wishing that they would break up, but he felt that he was being too much when he thought more about it.
Anyway, he was happy as long as his sister was genuinely happy. He knew for a fact that his sister had always worshipped and had a crush on Lu Jingzhi ever since she was young. He also knew that his sister was only really happy whenever she was around Lu Jingzhi.
Alright then—he decided that he would forgive his arrogant and hateful brother-in-law and give him another chance.
…
It was only four o’clock in the evening.
Fu Yahui had been arrested by the police officers just one hour ago.
Jiang Yuning had already calmed down from all the earlier commotion and she was currently sitting at the wooden table in Grandpa Tan’s house as he taught her about the common ingredients used to make Chinese medicine.
“I know about everything that happened in the afternoon.”
“What are you referring to?” Jiang Yuning asked Grandpa Tan while she sniffed the herbs that were placed in front of her.
“I know that you had a direct confrontation with your mother, and that your mother has already been arrested. You must have suffered a lot in the past few years,” the old man replied. “What will you do if your father is still alive?”
“Grandpa Tan, if you ask me questions like this, I will definitely think that you have met my father in the past few years,” Jiang Yuning replied as she looked at the old man with a deep expression on her face.
This little fox was really bright.
