Chapter 88: Chapter 88 What is She Feeling Secure About?

In the light of the situation, the police officer making the record felt somewhat helpless, a trace of moisture appearing at the corner of his eye.

"Calm down and wipe your tears,"

he said as he slowly pushed the tissues across the table.

Unexpectedly, the curly-haired woman cried even harder, her body even starting to convulse, her emotions increasingly out of control.

The officer recording the statement was a university graduate just assigned to the case, barely in his twenties and on his first time handling a case with his mentor. Being soft-hearted was pretty inevitable.

"Selling the house might not be necessary, but a fine is unavoidable. Better to admit your guilt honestly, and perhaps you might get a lighter sentence."

"We are willing to accept any punishment."

Boss Li, hearing this, panicked, worried they’d get off lightly, "Repent? How to repent? Our Song Family has been swindled by you, our reputation completely destroyed! Officer, you must stand up for us! Otherwise, who would dare buy our crystals in the future?"

The police officer questioning them fixed a steady look at his younger apprentice, signaling him to keep quiet.

The interrogation room suddenly became much quieter.

Four people almost simultaneously turned to look at the senior officer, the tension palpable, as if a single word could seal their fate.

"You are suspected of smearing someone else’s brand, a very serious issue. If you continue to withhold truth, it will be considered intentional evasion of responsibility, and that will just add another charge."

As he spoke these words, the officer had already looked up the online crystal shop involved.

They had even left a five-star review!

The man’s transaction was recorded last Friday, but the curly-haired woman had bought Song crystals Wednesday morning of this week.

Clearly, this had been premeditated; the curly-haired woman would certainly know about the deceit.

Confronted with the facts, the man became frightened.

"This..."

"You have ten minutes to think about it."

The officer then left the interrogation room, taking Boss Song and his wife, along with his apprentice, with him.

...

Jinshan Villa.

"Master, there was an incident at the Li Group shopping center today, supposedly they were selling fake crystals."

Leng Lingxiao’s lips slightly curved, "Song Crystals?"

"Yes,"

"This little issue, it won’t stump Li Zishen."

"The news is already spreading fiercely online. Even a legal resolution might not silence the public criticism. Will people continue to shop there?"

"Simple, bring in a new brand."

Zhao Renjie slightly raised his eyebrows, probing, "Master, your pearls have maintained a high share in the overseas market these years. Would you condescend to help him out?"

"A trivial profit, not interesting."

"But, Master, Li Zishen has already begun to suspect you and has sent people to secretly investigate your overseas..."

Before Zhao Renjie could finish, Leng Lingxiao burst into laughter, "He also has his fears!"

"Your reputation strikes fear in anyone who hears it."

Leng Lingxiao operated leading companies.

Such storefront businesses were hardly worth his attention, but Zhao Renjie’s praises had unexpectedly made him somewhat interested.

Since Li Zishen loved to pin everything on him, even suspecting him of such low-level tricks as selling fake crystals, he might as well play along.

A sip of tea brought a refreshing sensation!

"Master, there’s another matter. I just received news that at Nanjiang Villa..." Zhao Renjie seemed hesitant, pausing before continuing, "Madam Lai is inviting Miss Tang over for a gathering this Saturday."

"Has Tangtang agreed?"

"Not sure, but preparations are already underway at the villa. They’ve even hired a chef from Qingcheng, a star-rated one."

Those words Qingcheng sounded particularly jarring.

Leng Lingxiao’s expression changed abruptly: "It’s a trap!"
