Wen Xinya said coldly, “It’s because Jiang Ruoyin has once hired someone to abduct me. That’s why you’re so certain that I was the one who abducted her to take revenge. That’s why you think I’m paying her back in her own coin!”

Su Jinshan turned as pale as a ghost.

Wen Xinya stared at Su Jinshan and quipped. “Madam Jiang, aren’t I right?”

Su Jinshan was completely speechless.

Xia Ruya, Jiang Yuqian, and Xia Ruxue were not aware that Jiang Ruoyin had once tried to abduct Wen Xinya. They looked at each other in shock and dismay.

Wen Xinya looked at Su Jinshan and sneered. “Madam Jiang, you’ve really belittled me. I’ve always taken revenge where it’s due, but I’ll never resort to any underhanded means or backstab others.”

“What did you do to Ruoyin?” Su Jinshan asked. Wen Xinya’s words had struck a sour note within her. She quivered uncontrollably from head to toe, staring at Wen Xinya in disbelief.

Recalling the way Jiang Ruoyin would react whenever she asked her about the kidnapping of Wen Xinya, Su Jinshan finally realized that it was because Jiang Ruoyin had been subdued by Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya grinned widely and said, “There are lots of people here, it’s not convenient for me to tell you the details now. Madam Jiang, you can wait until Miss Jiang is back to ask her… just what happened that day!”

Wen Xinya decided to retaliate, for she was no pushover.

Wen Xinya still remembered the time in Lan Feng Institute where Su Jinshan put on airs and threatened her. She thought to herself, Su Jinshan is acting so haughty merely because she’s belittling me. She thinks that I’m a pushover because I have been estranged from my family for fifteen years. If I don’t retaliate, she’ll repeat herself and trample on me again and again… I’m Miss Wen, the heiress of the Wen Family. How can I let someone walk all over me?

“Wen Xinya, you’d better not go overboard.” Su Jinshan barked, clenching her jaw and exposing her straight rows of pearly whites. The sounds of her teeth gnashing send cold shivers down the spines of everyone else around her.

Wen Xinya said calmly, “Madam Jiang, you’re the one who’s pushing me over the edge. Like I said countless times before, I have nothing to do with Miss Jiang’s missing case. Yet, you’re so overbearing and insistent on shifting the blame to me.”

Su Jinshan’s gums had begun bleeding, and the blood was seeping out of the gaps in her teeth. She completely believed that Wen Xinya had nothing to do with Jiang Ruoyin’s missing case.

Qiu Yifan entered and strode towards them with his briefcase.

Wang Hanjie’s heart dropped, for he could tell that Qiu Yifan was a lawyer.

Qiu Yifan walked towards Wen Xinya and asked softly, “Are you alright?”

Shaking her head, Wen Xinya answered, “I’m Miss Wen, there’s nothing they can do to me!”

After understanding the situation, Qiu Yifan walked towards Wang Hanjie and said coldly, “Hello, Chief Wang. I’m Qiu Yifan, Miss Wen Xinya’s representing lawyer. If there’s anything you need to know, you may ask me directly. I’ll answer all questions regarding the case.”

“Hello, Mr. Qiu!” exclaimed Wang Hanjie, who turned pale instantly, well aware of who Qiu Yifan was. He was shocked that Wen Xinya could get a powerhouse of the legislature industry to represent her.

Qiu Yifan nodded and continued, “According to Rule 193 of the Z Nation law, all underage citizens have to be accompanied by a legal adult during interrogations, and the guardian and parent of the underage subject have to be informed beforehand. Chief Wang, you’ve already broken the law by bringing my client to the police station without informing her family.”

“Mr. Qiu, this is all a misunderstanding. We were just eager to get some leads because Miss Jiang Ruoyin has been missing for more than twenty hours. That’s why I forgot about the standard protocol. Please forgive me, Mr. Qiu. After all, a life is at stake,” said Wang Hanjie, who did not expect Qiu Yifan to display his authority so soon.

However, Qiu Yifan ignored him and said composedly, “My client Miss Wen has mentioned that you pinned her as the prime suspect without any concrete evidence of eyewitnesses. Hence, I’ll have to look at the interrogation’s footage.”

Dumbstruck, Wang Hanjie said, “Mr. Qiu, pardon me for this, but those are confidential information.”

Having already expected him to say that, Qiu Yifan answered, “My client is only assisting with the investigations, and she’s not the prime suspect. Besides, Miss Wen has already handed this case over to me. I have the right to check the interrogation’s footage.”

Unable to find another excuse to turn him down, Wang Hanjie said, “Mr. Qiu, I had no intention of offending Miss Wen, please be understanding towards the difficulties that we, the police, face while solving cases. It’s sometimes mandatory to apply some other methods to find some leads. We definitely didn’t mean to infringe Miss Wen’s personal rights.”

Qiu Yifan insisted. “Chief Wang, I’ll have to watch the footage before I can deduce the truth.”

Despite being petrified, Wang Hanjie did not take Qiu Yifan to the interrogation room to watch the interrogation’s footage.

Qiu Yifan stared at him and said with a straight face, “If you refuse to cooperate with me, I’ll have no choice but to call Old Mr. Mo or Old Mr. Wen and get them to intervene. After all, I believe they have the power to influence the Bureau Chief to step in.”

“Please don’t do that. This is only a minor understanding, there’s no need to blow things up. The police are very busy every day, and we shouldn’t disturb Old Mr. Wen because of such a trivial matter.” Wang Hanjie pleaded, overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. He found that he was being too naive and had made a major mistake by letting himself be coerced into committing a crime. He was too preoccupied with coveting the position of Head of Southern District and had done that in a moment of folly.

He had underestimated Wen Xinya’s abilities, for he thought that there was nothing she could do since she was just an underage teenager. So what if she’s from the Wen Family? My brother-in-law is a government official, he thought. Yet, he had never expected that Wen Xinya would be such a tough nut to crack.

Qiu Yifan demanded. “I’ll find out if it’s all a misunderstanding after watching the interrogation’s footage. So, please show them to me.”

Wang Hanjie cursed and swore at Qiu Yifan in his head before reluctantly taking him to the interrogation room that he and Wen Xinya were in just now.
