Chapter 209: Chapter 207: Evidence Invalid
This Bing Xin is so incredibly stupid. She can’t even handle such a trivial matter, yet she still dreams of becoming a wealthy young mistress! What a delusion!
Jiang Qimeng gritted her teeth. She couldn’t give up yet; she had to find a way.
What good would calling the police do? Anyway, she still had her trump card! Jian Xi, just you wait and see! I will definitely make the Jian Family suffer a terrible fate. The Jian Group must be mine!
Her ambition inflated without bounds. Not only did she want to obtain the Yaowang Group, but she also wanted to take down the Jian Group!
The entrance of the police station was crowded with "well-wishers" seeking justice for Jian Mingcheng.
Jian Mingcheng had never imagined that he would one day make the news like this, becoming known to the entire world.
He felt quite awkward about it.
Jian Xi noticed the change in her older brother and coughed softly. "I’m sorry for making you a celebrity this way."
She was still covering her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter.
Jian Mingcheng’s face darkened. "Little Sister, if my reputation is ruined because of you, I promise I’ll spank you."
"Big Brother! I’m so old already. Can’t you come up with a new threat? Don’t you trust my professional abilities?" Jian Xi cajoled.
Jian Mingcheng felt quite helpless.
"Hurry and tell me everything that happened."
Jian Mingcheng seriously recounted all of that day’s events to her.
After listening, Jian Xi concluded, "Si Yuhuan is right. It’s a pig-butchering scam, and there’s someone skilled guiding it from the shadows. When Bing Xin went in for the examination just now, she wasn’t flustered at all. I believe she must be..."
"Absolutely impossible!" Jian Mingcheng denied vehemently.
Jian Xi looked at him.
"Little Sister, sorry, I got too agitated. But there’s something I need to tell you."
Jian Xi was shocked after hearing it.
"No way, Big Brother! You have a condition, and you didn’t seek treatment?"
Jian Mingcheng, "..."
Now it was his turn to blush, so embarrassed he was at a loss for words.
"I did seek treatment. It’s hopeless. Let’s not talk about this. So, it’s completely impossible that Bing Xin slept with me."
The next second, a police officer came out and called, "Jian Lu, Ms. Bing’s examination indeed found Jian Mingcheng’s bodily fluids. Please come here for a moment."
Jian Mingcheng’s eyes widened in shock.
Jian Xi, on the other hand, was much calmer.
"Alright, I’ll be right there."
After reviewing the test report, it was confirmed!
In a certain sense, Bing Xin did "sleep" with Jian Mingcheng.
"How is this possible!"
Jian Mingcheng emotionally snatched the report. After a glance, he stumbled back several steps as if all his strength had left him.
Wan Yu, who had rushed over, saw his state. She grabbed his wrist to steady him. "Hey! With Xixi and me here, anything can be solved! Black cannot be made white, and white cannot be made black! Rest assured, we’ll get justice for you."
Panting heavily, she handed a USB drive to Jian Xi and winked. "This is a lifesaver!"
For Jian Mingcheng’s sake, she had tapped into nearly half her network in Beijing.
She had finally gotten her hands on this surveillance footage.
After Jian Xi finished watching it, she immediately handed it over to the police.
"I’ll take care of what comes next. The surveillance footage you brought, Wan Yu, saved my brother’s life!"
「Inside the visitation room.」
Wan Yu and Jian Mingcheng sat opposite each other.
Jian Mingcheng, usually so meticulous, now hung his head in disarray, looking utterly dejected, as if all his vigor had been drained.
PFFT!
Wan Yu laughed.
"Big Brother, you look really down!"
Jian Mingcheng coughed. "Thank you."
For once, he didn’t mind her casual impertinence.
Wan Yu got cocky. "A verbal ’thank you’ isn’t enough, you know. Look, I even ran the heels off my shoes. I expect a sincere token of gratitude."
"Alright, when I get out, I’ll definitely compensate you and show my sincerity," he said earnestly.
Jian Mingcheng, with his thick eyebrows and large eyes, was usually imposing and stern, even a bit dogmatic when serious. But now, touched by worldly troubles, he seemed much more approachable.
His gaze made Wan Yu flustered, and she quickly lowered her head. "You... you don’t worry! You’re innocent. I believe in you. Xixi will definitely get you out and punish those scoundrels stirring up trouble!"
After saying this, she pulled open the door and ran out, her face blushing.
Jian Mingcheng suddenly felt as if the gloom in his heart had been swept clean.
Father Jian and Jian’s Mother also saw the news and called immediately.
Jian Xi was handling the paperwork for Jian Mingcheng, cradling her phone between her shoulder and ear as she reassured her parents. "I was the one who called the police. To protect my brother, we had to escalate this. Public opinion is also an intangible means of intervention. We absolutely cannot let our opponents get their way. The more they try to downplay this, the more suspicious it becomes. Mom, Dad, if you trust me, don’t interfere. I will bring Big Brother and the Jian Group back to you, safe and sound."
Jian’s Mother didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad.
With such a major family crisis, they, the old couple, found they didn’t need to lift a finger. Their children had all grown up.
Especially Jian Xi, who had suddenly matured so much, filling them with immense pride and relief.
Father Jian’s voice trembled with conviction. "Alright, we’ll leave this matter to you. Your mom and I are at ease. Good child! We’re waiting for you all to come home."
After all the procedures were completed, Jian Mingcheng was released.
"Little Sister! Is this matter just going to be dropped like this?"
Jian Mingcheng still didn’t know what evidence Wan Yu had brought, or how his little sister had masterfully handled the police to secure his release.
He knew very well how serious this matter was.
"Don’t worry, everything’s settled." Jian Xi was in a good mood. She leaned in to whisper, "Big Brother, you really need to thank Wan Yu properly. Without the key evidence video she provided, you would have probably been in a lot of trouble. That video proved you and Bing Xin entered the room while not fully conscious, making it impossible to determine if it was rape or consensual. That’s why you were released."
"So, you called the police because you were sure about this video?" Jian Mingcheng realized.
"What else? If Wan Yu hadn’t given me the signal, I wouldn’t have dared to act so rashly."
Jian Mingcheng’s gaze towards Wan Yu softened considerably.
As their eyes met, Wan Yu, for once, wasn’t her usual feisty self, instead showing a young girl’s bashfulness.
Bing Xin stormed out furiously. "Jian Xi, you’re quite the schemer, using your clever mouth to get your brother off the hook! I won’t let this go so easily. Do you think I’ll let you get away with sleeping with me for free? I’ll find a lawyer and sue you! I demand compensation!"
If it couldn’t be pursued as a criminal offense, then it would be a civil dispute.
In any case, she had to get compensation from Jian Mingcheng!
After working all night and not getting a single penny, she was furious.
Jian Xi hit her where it hurt. "Go ahead and sue. I’ll wait. I’ve recorded everything you just said. We’ll let the judge hear just how arrogant you are."
"AHHH! Jian Xi, you despicable, shameless bitch! I’ll fight you to the death!"
Bing Xin lunged to strangle Jian Xi.
Jian Xi stepped back several paces.
The woman went berserk, catching everyone off guard. Just as her claws were about to grab Jian Xi, who couldn’t dodge in time—
CRACK—
A dark figure rushed over and forcefully twisted Bing Xin’s arm.
