The couple returned to Longxi Villa after leaving the police station.
Li Yun'er had been at home since returning from the hospital. The couple informed her about the situation.
Sitting on the sofa, eating fruit, Li Yun'er heard the news and laughed instead of getting angry, "Since she went to the police station with such effort, let her stay there for a good while."
Her delicate cheeks were flushed with a smile as she chewed on the fruit. Suddenly, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed, and she asked, "If we provoke Meng Jingwei, will she choose to reveal her identity?"
"She's already at the police station, what can revealing her identity do? She has no money, no power, and has lost Qing Muye's child. No one will take her seriously," Li Fu'an said with a cold snort, dismissively.
Zhao Ruolan chimed in, "After she serves her six-month sentence, you should have already married Muye and had a child. As a former convict, she'll never be able to marry into the Qing family, and naturally won't be a threat to us."
This precise analysis greatly pleased Li Yun'er. The minor injury was exchanged for Meng Jingwei's six-month imprisonment, making her feel the injury on her head was worth it.
...
Meanwhile, Xiao Cheng, who hadn't seen Meng Jingwei for several days, had called her multiple times, but there was no answer.
From morning to afternoon, over a dozen calls went unanswered.
The next day, after many more unanswered calls, Xiao Cheng, feeling uneasy, went directly to Jinxiu Apartment, but Meng Jingwei was not there.
Fearing something had happened to her, Xiao Cheng immediately sent people to investigate and only then learned that Meng Jingwei had been locked up in the police station for hitting Li Yun'er.
He used his personal connections to meet the detained Meng Jingwei in the police station's visiting room.
"Little Wei Wei, are you alright?"
After only a few days, Xiao Cheng felt Meng Jingwei had become frail. Coupled with the handcuffs, she looked rather pathetic and miserable.
Yet, despite her circumstances, Meng Jingwei smiled when she saw Xiao Cheng.
"Very good, it's peaceful here."
She sat calmly opposite Xiao Cheng, her brow furrowed slightly, "How did you know I was here?"
Bang—
Xiao Cheng slammed the table in anger, "Li Fu'an is too much of a bastard! She's his own daughter, why treat you like this? I..."
Perhaps stimulated by Meng Jingwei's pathetic image, he became enraged.
The police officer immediately shouted, "Be quiet!"
Xiao Cheng ignored the officer's reminder, paused, raised his eyebrows, his furious gaze gradually becoming shifty, and then he looked away.
Uh oh, he slipped up.
"When did you find out?"
Meng Jingwei listened to his words, somewhat surprised, then sighed helplessly, "My mother must have told you, right?"
Besides that, she couldn't think of any other reason.
Given the Li family's apprehension towards the Qing family, they must have altered her ID and previous academic records, doing so meticulously.
If the Qing family couldn't find the information, Xiao Cheng wouldn't be able to either.
Xiao Cheng brushed back his short hair, his devilishly handsome face filled with a charming, wicked smile, "I accidentally saw a family photo of you all that day, and Auntie couldn't keep it a secret any longer, so she told me."
After that day, Xiao Cheng had sent people to investigate Li Yun'er and Meng Jingwei's files, but all the information had been handled flawlessly, and he couldn't find any leads.
"It's fine if you know, I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
"I heard that on the night of Qing Muye's car accident, he was saved by Li Yun'er, who was delivering food. If I'm not mistaken, the one who saved Qing Muye should be you, right?"
Qing Muye was a prominent figure at the pinnacle of Lan City, a favored son of heaven, a dazzling existence.
A car accident naturally attracted the attention of various media outlets, so Xiao Cheng knowing about this matter was not surprising.
"I'm fine, really. Xiao Cheng, thank you for visiting me, but I don't want you to interfere in my affairs."
She didn't answer Xiao Cheng's question, but changed the subject.
This was tantamount to an admission.
Xiao Cheng understood a little.
"Are you kidding me? The Li family sent you in here, they certainly want you to rot in jail. If I don't help you, you'll be finished." Xiao Cheng couldn't bear to see her bullied by the Li family.
Although their backgrounds were vastly different, he always felt like they were "fellow sufferers of the same plight."
"If you consider me a friend, you don't need to get involved in this. I can handle it."
She seemed to have everything under control.
Xiao Cheng's brow furrowed slightly. He leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a plan?"
"Xiao Cheng, thank you for visiting me. I'll treat you to drinks after I get out."
Meng Jingwei smiled slightly, got up, and left directly.
Her deliberate evasion made Xiao Cheng realize that things were definitely not that simple. All he could do was wait and see.
Xiao Cheng left the police station filled with questions.
Due to Meng Jingwei's "mysterious act," he became even more interested in what would happen next.
That afternoon, a popular Weibo influencer posted an explosive news story, "Shocking! Lan City's Most Talented Woman Li Yun'er Has a Twin Sister."
Along with the news, a photo was attached.
Simultaneously, another news blogger posted a story, "Li Family's Lost Daughter Donates Bone Marrow to Li Zirui."
Once released, the two news items caused quite a stir in Lan City and even directly surged to the top of the trending news list.
Upon seeing the news, the Li family members were furious and uneasy.
Li Yun'er, who was recuperating at home, saw the news and smashed things in anger, "Meng Jingwei, you damn b****! How dare you do this? She deserves to die!"
Her anger surged, her flushed eyes glared at Zhao Ruolan, "I told you long ago that Meng Jingwei couldn't be kept. If she doesn't die, we won't have peace!"
Zhao Ruolan was full of worry, "I didn't expect her to have such capabilities to contact Weibo influencers."
"Dad, quickly suppress the trending topic," Li Yun'er shouted urgently at Li Fu'an.
"What's the point of suppressing it now? Everyone probably knows. Reporters are all around outside, wanting interviews," Li Fu'an said, smoking a cigar and deep in thought. "No wonder Meng Jingwei was so calm when we called the police yesterday. It seems we underestimated her."
"What do we do now?" Li Yun'er asked.
"What else can we do? Of course, get her released from the police station!"
"What, released? Then she... she..."
"Hmph, at this point, we can only release her and then kill her!" Li Fu'an's expression was stern, his sharp eyes filled with a deep, murderous intent.
Half an hour later, Meng Jingwei was released from the detention center. As she walked out, Xiao Cheng was waiting for her.
Seeing her emerge, Xiao Cheng rushed forward, shouting sternly, "Do you even use your brain? You know the Li family can't tolerate you, and now you've stirred up all this trouble, aren't you just forcing them to kill you?"
He was furious, poking Meng Jingwei's forehead, "I thought you were a master strategist, but it turns out all your ideas are thoughtless and stupid!"
"Ouch... that hurts so much."
Stung by his poke, Meng Jingwei rubbed her forehead, "Why are you so angry? Am I, Meng Jingwei, someone who dies easily?"
She put her arm around Xiao Cheng's shoulder in a friendly manner, "Let's go, I'll go home, take a shower, change my clothes, and then I'll take you out for skewers and drinks tonight."
"You're in such great danger, and you still have the mood for drinks?"
Xiao Cheng was so angry at her "childish" thinking that his head ached.
He was filled with worry and concern for her.
