Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Fu Yu Completely Goes Offline

Fu Yu’s expression was one of panic as she stood up and took a step back, "What extortion? I certainly did not..."

The police officer’s face was solemn as he took out the recording submitted by Shen Yanhe, "The victim has provided evidence, Ms. Fu indeed is suspected of the crime of extortion, take her away!"

When Fu Yu heard her own voice threatening Shen Yanhe for money in the recording, her body stiffened, and she immediately realized what was happening.

She had been set up by that bitch Shen Yanhe!

Fu Yu felt her mind cloud with anger.

That bitch! She actually recorded the phone conversation!

She opened her mouth to make excuses, but two police officers restrained her hands and escorted her out of the cafe, placing her in the police car parked outside.

Jiang Yun was eating when she received the call from the police station, and upon hearing what the police said, she stood up in disbelief, "What did you say? My daughter is suspected of extortion?"

The police officer on the other end of the call responded officially, "Yes, Ms. Shen has provided evidence, and Ms. Fu’s criminal behavior is confirmed. As her family member, please come to the police station."

Jiang Yun’s mind went into a daze, a buzz sounded in her head, and suddenly everything went blank.

She hastily hung up the phone, threw on a coat in a mess, and drove in the only sedan to the police station.

Upon arriving at the police station, Fu Yu threw herself towards her, her beautiful face full of panic, beseeching, "Mom, save me, I don’t want to go to jail."

She had just learned from the police that the extortion charge was real and that she would be sentenced to three to ten years of fixed-term imprisonment!

Especially since the amount involved was huge, she’d face more than ten years of fixed-term imprisonment!

She was still so young, she didn’t want to go to jail!

Before Jiang Yun could ask for details, a police officer who was on his phone came over, glanced at Fu Yu, and said, "Alright, I understand."

The officer hung up the call and said to the one in charge of Fu Yu’s case, "Officer Liu, someone has accused Ms. Fu of hit and run from two years ago, and the evidence has been sent to our police station email."

Fu Yu, nesting in Jiang Yun’s arms, heard the words hit and run, and her vision went dark, hardly believing it.

Qi Yunqian, he actually brought up the case from two years ago!

Extortion and hit and run, crimes to be punished together!

This time, she was truly done for!

-

The police moved quickly, and within just a day, Shen Yanhe received the refund of the one million she had paid to Fu Yu.

When the police informed her that Fu Yu would be serving twelve years in prison, Shen Yanhe was at the airport, waiting for her flight to Jingcheng to take off.

She thanked the police, hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then dialed Song Shiwei’s number.

At that moment, Song Shiwei and Qi Yunqian were on their way to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The car driving towards the Civil Affairs Bureau was very quiet, both of them silent; Song Shiwei looked out of the car window, Qi Yunqian was quietly watching her.

Until Song Shiwei’s phone rang.

She glanced at Qi Yunqian with her phone in hand, and answered the call in front of him, "Little He Miao, what’s the matter?"

Shen Yanhe lowered her eyes, was silent for a while, and with a soft voice, she said, "Shiwei, I’ve sent Fu Yu away."

This statement made Song Shiwei’s pupils dilate, and she subconsciously glanced at Qi Yunqian, holding back the laughter that was about to burst forth, leaned back into the soft back of the seat, eyes smiling, "What did she do to provoke you? How many years did you send her away for?"

"She was being foolish, trying to extort me." Shen Yanhe didn’t mention the matter of the photo, fearing it would trigger unpleasant memories for Song Shiwei, and spoke in a somewhat cheerful tone, "I transferred her one million and sent her away for twelve years."

Twelve years?

Listening to this delicate number, Song Shiwei couldn’t help but snicker, laughing so hard that tears came out, "That’s pretty good, she can live off the state for the rest of her life."

Fu Yu and Qi Yunqian had sent her away for two years.

Little He Miao had sent Fu Yu away for twelve years.

One had to admit that at this moment, upon hearing the news, Song Shiwei felt exhilarated in her heart.

Qi Yunqian hadn’t heard the content of the call between Shen Yanhe and Song Shiwei. He watched Song Shiwei’s beaming smile almost greedily, as if something prickly was stuck in his chest, causing him such pain that his complexion turned ashen, exceedingly ugly.

His fists slowly clenched.

Was she so happy because he had agreed to a divorce?

Qi Yunqian lowered his gaze, a tinge of grey emerging in his eyes as he quietly listened to Song Shiwei’s laughter with a pale face.

Song Shiwei completely disregarded Qi Yunqian; she heard the airport announcements coming from Shen Yanhe’s side and raised an eyebrow to ask, "He Miao, are you at the airport? Where are you off to?"

Shen Yanhe leaned back in the chair, "I’m off to Jingcheng for some business."

Jingcheng, huh...

Song Shiwei pondered for a few seconds before speaking, "Wait for me to finish up my work, and I’ll come find you. We’ll have a great time together."

Shen Yanhe replied, "Okay."

The two chatted a bit more before hanging up the call.

Clutching her phone, Song Shiwei looked up to see Qi Yunqian watching her with an injured, despondent expression on his face.

Meeting her gaze, Qi Yunqian didn’t look away, but instead asked in a hoarse voice, "This He Miao, is she your friend? Are you going to find her?"

What he really wanted to ask was whether He Miao was a male friend. What was their relationship?

Why did you always smile when talking on the phone with him, as if you were very close...

But now, he no longer had the right or the standing to ask her these questions.

Song Shiwei paused for a moment, and then it dawned on her that Qi Yunqian must have misunderstood.

He seemed to have forgotten that she had called Shen Yanhe by her nickname in front of him before.

However, considering his previous lack of attention to her, forgetting this little thing was quite normal.

Song Shiwei did not bother to explain and merely hummed indifferently, ignoring the hurt look on his face as she said, "Do you know about Fu Yu going to prison?"

"If you want to go help her, do that after we’ve gotten our marriage certificate."

Past experiences had taught Song Shiwei not to trust that Qi Yunqian would put her first.

But even now, if he wanted to save Fu Yu, he would first have to get the divorce certificate with her.

After getting the certificate, whether he and Fu Yu were deeply in love or not, it would be none of her concern.

To her surprise, Qi Yunqian nodded in silence, "I know."

He looked deeply at Song Shiwei, his voice low, "The day before yesterday, I submitted evidence to the police of her hit-and-run incident from two years ago, overturning your case and clearing your name."

"Shiwei, rest assured, I have nothing to do with her anymore."

Song Shiwei raised her brow and scoffed, "What do you mean ’clear my name’? I was innocent all along."

If only she hadn’t been so naive and foolish when she was younger.

Qi Yunqian responded softly, "You have always been innocent; it was my fault."

At that moment, the car pulled up in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Song Shiwei, not wanting to talk more with Qi Yunqian, reached for the car door to get out, "We’re here, let’s get out."

As the car door was about to open, Qi Yunqian reached out and grabbed her wrist, stopping her action.

Song Shiwei turned her head slightly, a frown on her brow as she looked at Qi Yunqian, "What? Don’t tell me you’re having regrets now?"

Qi Yunqian looked at her intently, his Adam’s apple moving and his voice rough, "I’ve always regretted... Shiwei, can I, please, have another chance?"

He regretted his youthful arrogance, taking for granted the love she had for him.

He regretted even more being blinded, unable to see his true feelings for her, causing her so much wrongful harm.

Song Shiwei moved his hand away with resolute firmness, "No."

The light in Qi Yunqian’s eyes completely extinguished.

He opened the car door in silence, followed Song Shiwei out of the car, and into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The entire process went smoothly, and the staff member asked, "Are the two of you certain you want to divorce?"

Qi Yunqian’s lips quivered, about to utter "no."

Song Shiwei cut in front of him, "Yes."
