Chapter 219: Chapter 219: My Shanshan

Amidst Lin Ke’s screams and struggles, two police officers took her back to the police station.

Lin Ke probably also realized that these two officers were unlikely to let her go, so she stopped her futile efforts and fell silent, pondering how to extricate herself.

They accused her of intentional injury, and after thinking it over, Lin Ke figured that the only possibility was the incident from a couple of days ago when she scalded Xiao Ting with boiling water.

After being driven out of Lu Group by Lu Yanchuan, she deliberately did not direct An Wei to deal with the Lu Family right away. Instead, she waited two days before taking action. Her intention was to allow Xiao Ting’s wounds to heal a little, so they couldn’t easily exploit any weakness of hers.

But what she didn’t expect was that for every force there is a counterforce; while she was scheming against the Lu Family, it’s quite possible they were scheming against her as well.

Perhaps the Lu Family was just waiting for her to make a move!

With this thought, Lin Ke’s complexion turned ugly, suddenly feeling like she had lifted a rock only to drop it on her own feet.

Upon arriving at the police station, Lin Ke unsurprisingly encountered Xiao Ting, who had been waiting there.

The evidence Xiao Ting used to sue Lin Ke consisted of surveillance footage from the office and a medical report from the hospital that confirmed light injuries.

With such evidence, it was enough to confirm that Lin Ke had caused intentional light injury. Of course, if Xiao Ting was willing, she could choose to withdraw the lawsuit and settle with Lin Ke privately.

However, having finally gotten such an opportunity, let alone Xiao Ting’s willingness to withdraw the accusation, even if she was willing, it would depend on whether Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan were ready to give up such a chance.

If the victim had been someone else, Lin Ke might have still seen a chance to seek help, but the moment she saw the injury report, she knew she was doomed.

Lin Ke forced herself to remain composed, and after recording her statement, she requested to make two phone calls.

Out of humanitarian considerations, such a request was not excessive, and Lin Ke quickly got hold of her cell phone, dialing An Wei directly.

"An Wei, I’ve been sued by Xiao Ting. You need to arrange a lawyer for me quickly, and it has to be the best lawyer!"

At this point, she couldn’t count on Lu Ming to help her; the only ones who could possibly aid her were An Wei and the backing of Dirk Group!

Deep down, Lin Ke was still unwilling to accept her fate so readily.

She had worked so hard to get to where she was, poised to grasp status and identity. How could she let Xiao Ting destroy years of her efforts!

Her call time quickly came to an end, and holding onto the faintest hope, Lin Ke sent a text message to Lu Ming, informing him that she had been arrested.

If neither of them could save her, then she was truly finished!

When Qiao Yi came to pick up Xiao Ting, Lin Ke had already been detained, just waiting for the trial to start.

"You have been wronged this time, if it weren’t for us..."

"What are you talking about? Nobody would wish for such a thing to happen; we can only blame Lin Ke for not changing her ways. She’s the one at fault, not anyone else."

No one has the ability to foresee accidents; after dropping Xiao Ting off at home, Qiao Yi drove unhurriedly to the Lu Mansion.

Xiao Ting was aware of Lin Ke’s request to make phone calls, so Qiao Yi could guess whom she would seek help from—there would be no other than two people, Lu Ming and An Wei.

Lu Ming wasn’t a concern, but it was uncertain what An Wei’s stance would be. After all, it seemed that Lin Ke was practically a spent force by now, and considering Dirk Group’s usual approach, the most likely scenario was that they would abandon her.

If Dirk Group intervened, Qiao Yi would have to seriously consider what it was about Lin Ke that made them willing to help her at such a cost.

When Qiao Yi returned to the Lu Mansion, Lu Yanchuan had already arrived and was in the study, doing something on his computer.

"We have tracked a mobile signal, which we can confirm belongs to An Wei’s phone, and are currently trying to contact a few well-known lawyers in Capital City."

The message was sent by Yan Xiyu ten minutes ago, but when Lu Yanchuan inquired about the details, he couldn’t get in touch with Yan Xiyu.

"Lin Ke has gone too far this time, Xiao Ting’s injuries are not minor, you should give her some time off, and as for Lin Ke, we must not let her off lightly!"

Qiao Yi walked over to Lu Yanchuan and looked at his computer screen, only to be pulled into his embrace by Lu Yanchuan.

"I’ll have people take care of these matters, and I have a project that I’m handling, I wonder if you’re interested."

Qiao Yi was naturally interested in the project and was eager to see what interesting project Lu Yanchuan had to introduce to her. The two of them squeezed onto one chair to look at the document together when the door of the study was suddenly opened.

"Oh! Sorry to disturb you, carry on, hehe!"

Old Mr. Lu was clearly stunned by the scene in the study, but after regaining his composure, he cheekily backed out and even thoughtfully closed the door for them.

Seeing how affectionate his son and daughter-in-law are, it probably won’t be long before he can hold a grandson!

In the study, with Lu Yanchuan’s face darkened and Qiao Yi’s face blushing, they exchanged glances. Qiao Yi quickly jumped off Lu Yanchuan’s lap and, with an awfully unnatural expression, adjusted her clothes and hurriedly ran out.

Nonsense, if she stayed any longer, she might be mistaken for wanting to do something with him in the study!

Although they did indeed want to do something in the study just now.

While there was joyous laughter in the Lu Mansion, Yan Xiyu felt as if in the bitter cold of deep winter, almost crushing the mouse while looking at the data that had just been downloaded on the computer.

"Shanshan... why..."

The computer screen showed two photos and a medical record from a plastic surgery clinic.

If Qiao Yi were here, she would definitely recognize An Wei in one of these photos!

The girl in the other photo, looking in her early twenties, had a brilliant smile toward the camera.

Upon first glance, the people in the two photos look completely different, but putting the photos together, one could tell that in some details, the two people were strikingly identical!

"My Shanshan..."

Yan Xiyu’s pale fingers gently touched the face of the girl with the radiant smile on the computer screen, enveloped by such a sunny and warm smile, Yan Xiyu couldn’t help but reveal a trace of his smile.

The fleeting moments of happiness passed, and Yan Xiyu’s gaze fell on An Wei’s photo, his expression suddenly darkened.

Who is An Wei really! Could she be his Shanshan?

Yan Xiyu desperately hoped this could be true, yet at the same time, he was loath to accept it as truth.

That once naive and lively girl, the Shanshan he saw fall off a cliff with his own eyes, his most beloved Shanshan!

If Shanshan was not dead and had become An Wei from Dirk Group...

Yan Xiyu’s eyes reddened, staring at the two photos on the table for a long time, then he suddenly started furiously typing on the keyboard.

He must figure out what exactly is going on! Why would An Wei have such a file on her computer, why do An Wei and Shanshan look so alike!

If An Wei really is Shanshan, his Shanshan...
