Chapter 330: Chapter 330 She Was Wronged
On the other side, at the Song Family residence.
Song Yafei had been focusing on the news online about “someone being hit and falling down the stairs” these past couple of days.
She had been closely following the police investigation process.
It was only just now that she saw the police had announced their findings, still ultimately ruling it as an “accident,” not caused by human actions.
Tracing her red lips with her finger, she sneered.
This girl is truly lucky to have such a big life, lucky enough to survive an ordeal like that.
That afternoon, she received a phone call.
Initially, she didn’t want to answer, but the caller kept persistently dialing her.
“I told you, stop calling me!”
Immediately, a voice with a poor command of Chinese came from the other side: “Linda, I miss you.”
Song Yafei frowned, finding the voice utterly repulsive.
What he meant by ‘miss’ wasn’t merely missing her as a person, but craving her body!
But she couldn’t afford to anger him now, especially since she had just used him.
Suppressing the disgust in her heart, she spoke against her conscience, “I miss you too, but now’s not the time to meet. Let’s meet after some time, okay?”
The person on the other end said in English, “Then let’s video chat. I want to hear the sound of you screaming.”
This made Song Yafei’s frown deepen.
She knew that if she didn’t do as he said, he would keep bothering her.
“…”
She bit her lip, “Wait a moment, I need to switch phones.”
She had a phone with a WeChat account set up specifically for communicating with him.
This WeChat account wasn’t registered with her personal information, but it was under her control.
The phone number she was using to talk to him wasn’t verified with her personal information either.
Therefore, even if someone tried to trace it, they wouldn’t be able to link it back to her.
After ensuring the door was locked and that no one could come in, she finally made a video call to him through WeChat.
Elsewhere.
Su He received a folder sent by Bai Yang.
The very next second, Bai Yang’s call came through.
“Boss, I hacked into Tony’s computer and found a hidden folder. Out of curiosity, I opened it and man, it was truly an eye-opener.”
This folder would normally go unnoticed by hackers because it was very well-hidden.
Su He’s brows slightly raised: “How so?”
Bai Yang said: “It’s just incredibly appalling, all sorts of levels are there, one word: wildly promiscuous.”
Su He understood immediately…
“Just tell me straight, is the person from the photo I gave you in there?”
“Yeah, I filtered them out, the folder I sent you is what I found.”
He really had to sift through all the eye-watering content, one by one.
Su He: “Alright, thanks for the hard work, and maybe go wash your eyes later.”
“…”
Su He didn’t immediately go looking for Song Yafei after receiving the folder.
After all, this evidence wouldn’t necessarily mean much.
The other party would still have ways to wriggle out of it.
She instructed Bai Yang to send a clip from the folder or a photo to Song Yafei’s phone on a regular basis over the next few days.
“Okay, boss, I got it.”
Even though this tactic was rather underhanded, it was certainly effective.
If she panicked, then naturally, there would be evidence.
Moreover, Su He was confident that she wouldn’t dare go to the police.
You can dodge on the first day, but not the fifteenth day.
As long as she had done something, there would be traces to follow.
Now it was a matter of seeing who had more patience.
Su He also shared these materials with Wan Muqi.
Wan Muqi was also somewhat surprised; Song Yafei really played around more openly than one would expect.
Quite a stark contrast to her outward appearance, about as different as could be.
This is the so-called “You know someone’s face, but not their heart.”
…
That night, Song Yafei received a video clip.
Seeing that it was from an unknown number, she ignored it.
She didn’t intend to open it either.
But the sender followed with a message: [Miss Song usually seems so elegant and generous, the picture of innocence, who would have thought you were such a player?]
Her brow furrowed as she opened the video.
When she saw the clear content inside, her pupils dilated instantly, and her entire body stiffened.
Her face turned deathly pale, and she even frantically dialed the strange number with some panic.
But when she got through, a mechanical female voice came through: “The number you have dialed is unallocated.”
Now, she was even more panicked.
Then, she hurriedly dialed Tony’s phone number.
But he did not answer.
She was scared, anxious, and extremely angry!
She didn’t understand why these videos existed.
But now, only Tony could explain, unless he had secretly recorded them without her knowledge.
The next morning.
Her phone once again received pictures sent from an unknown number.
And the pictures were all high definition.
She was not unfamiliar with these pictures because she had taken them herself and sent them to them.
In the following days, she either received those unbearable photos of herself or videos.
And she couldn’t contact Tony at all, no matter how hard she tried.
His phone would ring, but no one would answer.
She felt increasingly uneasy at home.
Moreover, she couldn’t possibly report to the police because it was the truth.
The fifth day.
“Young Madam, Song Yafei has bought a ticket for tonight’s flight to Country Y.”
Just as Song Yafei finished purchasing her ticket, Jiang Feng received a text message.
He informed Su He about it immediately.
Su He: “Okay, send someone to follow her.”
Jiang Feng: “Understood.”
At the same time, Su He also sent a message to Ye Jiuqing.
“You can release the person now.”
After receiving the message on the other end, Ye Jiuqing replied, “Why are you making things so complicated? I could have just made him confess directly, I really don’t get what you’re thinking.”
Su He glanced at the message and replied, “That’s good you don’t understand, and that’s precisely the reason I say we’re not suitable.”
Ye Jiuqing always favored a straightforward and brutal approach to things.
He cared only about the outcome, not the process.
Yet often, some processes are more important than the outcome and can even deliver a fatal blow.
But she had investigated Song Yafei, and she was not a simple woman. Brute and simplistic methods would not really harm her.
What she wanted was the most direct evidence, the kind that would leave Song Yafei speechless.
“Fine, fine, fine, I don’t understand, he understands you best, happy now?”
Ye Jiuqing sent her a voice message.
Listening to the irritable and impatient voice, Su He smiled helplessly.
She thought it over and decided to still casually ask about how he was doing lately.
“How have you and Ella been getting along recently?”
After she asked, the other party stopped responding to her.
Su He didn’t mind either.
A few days ago, when she talked on the phone with Ella, she had brought him up.
Ella said that now, whenever Ye Jiuqing sees her, he would hide, just like a mouse seeing a cat.
The two of them had some kind of bickering chemistry.
Although Ye Jiuqing was afraid of her, she realized he was even more afraid of Ella.
After all, sometimes he would still disagree with her, but when it came to Ella, he never dared to contradict.
Song Yafei did not go straight to meet people upon arriving in Country Y.
She found a hotel and checked in first.
Recently, she hadn’t been able to get ahold of Tony at all.
At first, she thought he might have been discovered.
But then she heard about him from another friend.
Tony has a bad habit – gambling.
The reason she couldn’t reach him these past few days was that he had gone to the casino to gamble.
She couldn’t blindly look for him.
She had to play it by ear from now on.
…
“Young Madam, since Song Yafei arrived here, she hasn’t gone anywhere for the past two days.”
“She does have patience,” Su He said. “Keep them on it.”
“Yes, Young Madam.”
Song Yafei can afford to wait, and Su He has all the time in the world.
An Mi stayed in the hospital for over a week before being discharged.
The cast on her wrist had been removed, but her lower leg was more serious and couldn’t be taken off yet.
“Dad, I think I can go back to school,” An Mi said to Mr. An.
But Mr. An was not at ease; if she were to bump into something at school, she would suffer all over again.
“Dad, don’t worry, my sister said I can go back to school, I’ll just be careful. Besides, An Rui and the others are at school, I won’t have any problems,” she assured.
Mr. An looked at the cast on her leg and her suspended left hand, saying, “You’ve got problems going up and down the stairs, how are you going to manage?”
An Rui interjected, “Dad, let me take on this noble mission.”
“Don’t worry, I can still carry An Mi. I promise not to let your baby girl fall,” he claimed.
“Even if worse comes to worst, isn’t Mu Qi there too?” said An Rui.
He had only recently found out that Wan Muqi had feelings for An Mi.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Mr. An slapped him on the back of the head: “What are you talking about?”
“Your sister and Mr. Wan have no relationship yet, don’t always bother them,” Mr. An chastised.
An Rui rubbed his head innocently with his hand.
“Dad, I’m your son too, give me a heads-up before you hit me next time so I can brace myself,” he said.
“Enough, don’t bother me with this nonsense,” Mr. An said. “Since your second sister is going back to school, you better take good care of her. If she loses even a single hair at school, I’ll hold you accountable!”
An Rui: “…”
“Yes, yes, as you command.”
“…”
Country Y.
A five-star hotel.
“Have you been lounging in the casino these past few days?”
Song Yafei crossed her legs contemptuously, staring at the burly man in front of her.
From the moment Tony walked in and saw her, his brown eyes had been glued to her.
He walked over, sat next to her, and wrapped his arm around her waist.
He spoke in broken Chinese, “Baby, did you miss me?”
The man’s hand moved up along the curve of her waist, while his other hand boldly covered her chest.
His gaze was suggestive and blatant.
Song Yafei glanced at him and smacked his hand away.
She also broke free from him.
“Tony, why haven’t you been answering my calls these past few days?” she asked, her tone serious and restrained.
The man realized she was angry.
He spread his hands, sat down on the sofa, and said indolently, “I was at the casino, hurried off, and didn’t have time to grab my phone.”
Song Yafei: “Have any strangers been looking for you recently?”
The man shrugged, “not have.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m pretty sure… no, Linda, what exactly are you worried about?” he questioned, showing his incomprehension.
Song Yafei stood with one hand on her chest and the other propping her chin, pacing in front of him.
She took a deep breath, managing to hold back her anger.
“Tony, tell me, did you film our past deeds and save the videos?” she inquired.
The man’s eyes flickered evasively.
“You best not think about lying to me!” she growled in a lowered voice.
Seeing her expression, the man naturally didn’t dare to lie.
He nodded reluctantly.
Suddenly, a cup was flung at him.
Luckily, he dodged quickly and was not hit.
“Are you crazy?” the man asked angrily.
Song Yafei: “Do you have any idea, you’ve ruined me. You need to destroy those videos and photos right now, this instance!”
The man said, “Why? I’ve encrypted them, nobody can find them, what are you afraid of?”
Song Yafei was so angry she was practically steaming.
She pulled out her phone and threw it at him.
“Check it out for yourself!”
The man picked up the phone and took a glance, “why? How could this happen?”
“How come these videos are on your phone?”
“You ask me, who am I supposed to ask?”
The man furrowed his brows; he knew the seriousness of the situation now.
“Impossible,” he muttered under his breath.
Song Yafei said, “You must resolve this for me immediately! If even one video or photo gets leaked, don’t even think about getting more money from me!”
Indeed, the money Tony gambled with all came from her.
Initially, she kept him around because of his good looks, even though he was a gambling addict, she didn’t mind.
After all, he truly satisfied her in that department, but gradually she lost interest in him.
Still, she didn’t cut off contact completely because she discovered that many couldn’t match the pleasure he brought her.
Hence, she maintained such an ambiguous relationship with him.
Although she appeared the obedient girl of the Song Family on the surface, in private she lived a very liberal life; after all, she had spent a long time abroad and was deeply influenced by the culture here.
The man felt helpless and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter for you.”
Although Tony didn’t come from a prominent family, he had his own ways and means.
Otherwise, An Mi wouldn’t have sought him out for that incident.
Song Yafei still appeared somewhat uneasy as she asked, “Are you certain that incident won’t be exposed?”
Tony said, “Rest assured, the person who hired that kid to push someone wasn’t me. Although the money came from my account, I could claim my card was stolen and that it wasn’t me who transferred the money. Plus, I had already filed a police report and reported the card as lost to the bank well before that.”
Upon hearing this, Song Yafei’s tightly knitted eyebrows finally relaxed a bit.
The man curiously asked, “Why are you targeting a young girl? Did she compete with you for a man back in China?”
He could ask this because she had a history of such behavior.
He had helped her with this kind of thing more than once.
Song Yafei was someone with a rather strong possessiveness, or rather, it was more like an obsession.
Anyone she set her sights on, if she couldn’t have them, she would try every means to get them, or else she would ruin them.
At this time, their conversation had already made its way back to China.
“Isn’t this her indirect admission?” Jiang Feng turned to Wan Muqi and asked, “Mr. Wan, can this count as evidence?”
Wan Muqi nodded, “It can.”
Jiang Feng then looked at Su He: “So Young Madam, can we notify the police to make an arrest now?”
Su He said, “She cares so much about her image, so let’s wait for her to return to the country. It won’t be too late to make an arrest right after she gets off the plane.”
“Remember to notify the media,” she added.
Jiang Feng responded, “Got it, Young Madam.”
…
Song Yafei returned to China the day after meeting with Tony.
She was still unaware of what was waiting for her at the exit gate.
As she walked out, several people in police uniforms approached her.
“Miss Song Yafei, right?”
Song Yafei was completely stunned.
“We have found that you are related to the recent pushing incident, you are suspected of inciting others to commit a crime. Please come with us to assist in the investigation,” they said.
“…”
Song Yafei didn’t know what to say at the moment.
This was too sudden.
No sooner was she led away than she heard the “click, click” of camera shutters.
Outside the airport exit, a crowd of journalists was gathered.
All the cameras were pointed at her, amid the clamor of disordered voices ringing in her ears.
“Miss Song, are you related to the pushing incident on July 16th?”
“Ms. Song, why did you have that girl pushed down the stairs? Do you two have some deep-seated hatred? Can you tell us about it?”
“Ms. Song, your methods are so cruel, can you sleep peacefully at night?”
“…”
Questions bombarded her from all sides.
Soon, the incident went viral online.
And Song Yafei was immediately vilified by netizens.
At the same time, some of Song Yafei’s scandalous deeds also came to light.
The whistleblowers were all insiders and had been verified.
The Song Family was also implicated because of the incident.
In the police station.
Song Yafei still adamantly claimed she was wronged.
