The policeman's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves. Such a turn of events was beyond everyone's expectations.
But Song Yunsheng had been adding insult to injury so many times. Now, it was Song Yi'an's turn to return the favor. He stood up and said,
"Officer, don't worry. I have another piece of evidence here."
The policeman never thought that arresting someone could be like a group - purchase. He asked curiously, "What evidence?"
"The video evidence of when he sent someone to run me over with a car, as well as the escape route and location of the肇事 vehicle, and the information of the driver."
It was true that the video evidence was given by Li Xiyu, but she didn't remember giving the other evidence.
The policeman looked at Song Yi'an seriously, nodded, and said, "Arrest the person first." Then he said to Song Yi'an, "Come with me."
Li Xiyu tugged at the corner of Song Yi'an's clothes, her eyes full of worry. She wasn't sure if this was the best time, since they hadn't fully understood Song Yunsheng's influence.
Unexpectedly, Brother Dong said on one side, "Let him go."
His expression was calm.
Coupled with the reassuring look Song Yi'an gave her, Li Xiyu could only silently let go.
After the person was taken out, Brother Dong said with a smile, "Don't worry. Although I haven't been back to the capital for more than ten years, I still have some connections. I won't let outsiders bully my son. Song Yunsheng can act high - handedly only because of the Song family. Without the Song family, he is nothing."
Only then did Li Xiyu suddenly realize that she had understood too late.
Yes, Song Yunsheng was like water without a source. All his power came from his surname Song. Now that the rightful heir of the Song family was back, who would still support and listen to him?
Seeing Brother Dong easily solve the problems that had troubled her for a long time as soon as he came back, Li Xiyu felt a bit bitter. She couldn't help but wonder why Brother Dong hadn't shown up earlier.
Those days of fear, sleepless nights made Li Xiyu feel like she had been in hell when she thought about them now.
But as soon as this thought popped up, Li Xiyu thought she was being silly. Brother Dong was Song Yi'an's father, an elder. One should respect the elders. One should be grateful that the elder was willing to help, not hold grudges.
Brother Dong knew that Song Yi'an and Li Xiyu would have opinions. After thinking about it, he decided to explain and resolve the misunderstandings first.
"I'm actually a dead man in a sense. I didn't want to be a puppet of the Song family, nor did I want to have anything to do with them. So before this, I never said that I was Song Zhiqiu, and I never thought about recognizing Xiaonan. I know I'm not a qualified father, having been absent for so many years. I didn't expect him to forgive and accept me. I just wanted to watch over and accompany him."
"What about Old Master Song's matter..."
"I knew that Old Master Song had passed away. I also attended his funeral. I knew about Song Yunsheng and Xiaonan's fight for the family property. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been paying attention to the situation in the capital. But I knew Xiaonan's ability, and I also wanted to train this child. It's not easy to be the heir of the Song family. If I had helped him from the start, he would never have grown up. However, there's another reason."
At this point, Brother Dong sighed, "The hotel where you and Song Yi'an stayed was really strict. It was like an iron - clad bucket. I sent people several times to inquire for information, but from the hotel manager to the cleaning aunt, no one would say a word. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that Xiaonan was hospitalized due to being hit by a car until he was almost discharged. Their security and confidentiality work was really good! If it weren't for the fact that the hotel owner was just protecting the guests' privacy, I really would have wanted to find this owner and beat him up, because of him, Xiaonan almost had a big problem."
Li Xiyu broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this. She wondered what Brother Dong would think if he knew that the hotel owner was Song Yi'an.
In the end, Song Yunsheng didn't get out of the police station. He was imprisoned on charges of rape and attempted murder, waiting for the court's trial. At the police station entrance, Li Xiyu was waiting for Song Yi'an to finish giving his statement. Unexpectedly, she didn't wait for Song Yi'an but instead waited for an unexpected person - Zhong Yuxiu.
Li Xiyu thought of the sexual assault accusation. Could it be that Zhong Yuxiu had received the news and came to help Song Yunsheng?
Zhong Yuxiu was escorted out by the policewoman who had appeared in the meeting hall just now. While escorting her out, the policewoman was still comforting her, "Miss Li, don't be afraid. Go back and rest well. Not to mention that you were just an engaged couple with him. Even if you were married, the law would protect you in this kind of situation. Don't think too much. He will be punished."
Hearing this, Li Xiyu was puzzled. Judging from this situation, could it be that the person who reported Song Yunsheng's sexual assault was Zhong Yuxiu?
Weren't they still engaged? And in the previous life, Zhong Yuxiu had been crazy about Song Yunsheng. Why did she suddenly turn against him now?
Zhong Yuxiu looked timid and tearful, looking extremely pitiful. She said goodbye to the policewoman at the police station entrance. As soon as she turned around and saw Li Xiyu, her expression changed instantly.
All the tearful and aggrieved looks disappeared, replaced by coldness and disdain. Even her walking posture changed.
They were like old enemies and old acquaintances who had been competing for a lifetime. Zhong Yuxiu originally wanted to just walk past Li Xiyu. Although she had seen through Song Yunsheng's true nature and sent him to prison with her own hands, she didn't think she was a loser. Even if she had lost, she wanted to act bravely.
Zhong Yuxiu didn't greet Li Xiyu. She took two steps forward, then thought about it and turned back. She was standing at the bottom of the steps while Li Xiyu was standing on the steps. Although she was looking up at Li Xiyu, there was no respect in her tone or expression.
"I'm asking you, have you seen Song Yunsheng?"
It seemed that she had come to scold her.
"Yes." Li Xiyu had shown herself and Jiang Yongfeng just for this. It was within Li Xiyu's expectation that she would come to scold her.
Li Xiyu thought that Zhong Yuxiu would say some harsh words asking her to stay away from Song Yunsheng. But unexpectedly, Zhong Yuxiu just stared at her for a few seconds while standing at the bottom of the steps and said, "I advise you to stay away from Song Yunsheng."
"Ah?"
Could Zhong Yuxiu really have woken up? Was the sun rising from the west?
"Cherish the one in front of you. Song Yi'an is a good person. Song Yunsheng... Is a good - for - nothing."
