Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Deliberate Smear

Jinkai Road Police Station, Interrogation Room

Two men and two women sat upright, among them a gaunt middle-aged man nervously rubbing the corners of his clothes non-stop, having just been brought over from the long-distance bus station by Bai Long’s subordinates.

If the discovery hadn’t been timely, he would likely have fled to another place by now.

He had once worked at a steel plant, currently unemployed.

Facing the group was an older and a younger officer, one questioning about the case, the other taking notes.

"The child’s mother doesn’t know anything, it was all my own idea."

I haven’t even asked, and he’s already confessing without being coerced?

The officer glanced at the man’s rough hands, then picked up the personal file on the table and said indifferently, "How long have you been divorced?"

"Two years. I switched it secretly while I was looking after the child, then claimed the original was fake."

Another unsolicited answer?

Looks like this has been well-rehearsed in advance!

"Where did the fake crystal come from?"

"Online shopping. There are plenty of these teardrop styles online, you can buy a realistic one for 50 yuan and just switch the chain."

The officer passed over a piece of paper and had the man write down the name of the online shop.

"It has nothing to do with the shop, it was me..."

"Do you normally like to shop online?"

"No, just this once, but this..."

The man was in the middle of speaking when the curly-haired woman beside him suddenly became emotionally agitated, crying her eyes out.

She was the man’s ex-wife and the buyer of the crystal.

"Officer, since it’s his first offense, please give him a chance to repent! See, I was going to give it away as a present, but now, after this incident, the child might not have a chance anymore."

The curly-haired woman pleaded while crying, showing her cellphone to the officer.

One award certificate after another came into view.

It was clear to see that the child was indeed outstanding!

"Ah, just the guarantee for the child’s study abroad costs hundreds of thousands; I just wanted to ask for more money, I had no choice!" the man added conveniently.

The officer raised an eyebrow slightly and took a sip of water.

The file clearly stated that after the incident, the merchant tried to settle with money privately, but the buyer disagreed, yet now they were saying they wanted to ask for more money.

Contradictions upon contradictions, not a single truth told!

The officer knew clearly that this was a case of malicious competition, deliberately defaming someone else’s brand.

"Giving bribes is a crime, didn’t you know?"

"Ah, I had no choice! Who doesn’t want their child to have a good future, please, just pity me and give me a chance to repent?"

After saying this, the man knelt before Boss Song.

This move genuinely startled her, and she quickly looked towards her husband.

"What are you doing?"

"You’re all big bosses, and you’re all parents too, please just let me off this once, I can’t go to jail; it will affect my child."

"What about my wife’s reputation?"

"I’m willing to pay compensation, any amount will do."

"Is this a matter of money?"

Boss Song’s husband was a national-level jewelry appraiser, and the incident with the fake crystal had caused a lot of trouble for him.

Idle gossip at work also rose up conveniently.

Some suspected his certificate was bought with money, others said he was paving the way for his wife using his position, secretly earning a lot of unscrupulous money, even someone made a whistleblower report, suggesting he should be fired.

At this point, the officer taking notes couldn’t watch any longer, put down his pen, and asked with a frown, "Didn’t you just say you had no money?"

"There’s still some retirement money, if worst comes to worst, I could sell the house, would that be acceptable?"

"No, that’s the money from your workplace injury compensation, you still need it for medical treatment! Who would want your 30 square meter house! We should sell my house instead, worst comes to worst my child and I can go back to my parent’s house."

The curly-haired woman finished speaking and burst into tears again.
