CHAPTER 769

Seated in front of the police officer, Liu Xuilan and Lin Qi relaxed against the chair with their wrists cuffed as they stared in rage.

“Now are you two ready to confess your crimes?” The officer seated opposite them questioned calmly.

“We have nothing to say, Officer. You are clearly mistaken,” Lin Qi informed him.

He scoffed at the blatant lie and shook his head. “Let’s try this again, shall we? Confess the crimes you committed, Lin Qi and Lin Xiulan.”

“Watch your mouth officer. Just the fact that you are in this position, I can have you stripped of it. Respect me or else…”

BAM!

The officer slammed his palm against the desk, throwing away all forms of a smile from his face as he glared at both women, obviously shaken from his reaction.

.....

“Utter one more useless word from your lips and whatever respect you have left for not allowing people to treat you anyhow. Do you think we do not know of your crimes? This is your chance to hopefully reduce your punishment you have the audacity to threaten an officer?”

They swallowed, unable to stand the intense glare the officer gave them.

“I am going to ask you this one more time and mind you anything you say would be used against you in the court of law. You can either admit your crime or you can play the hard game and lose everything. The choice is yours.”

“Please, Officer, calm down. We are not playing any games. We are innocent,” Lin Xiulan pleaded.

To her amazement, none of her antics worked and the next thing the officer scooped up the telephone from his desk and dialled a number.

“I guess you have made your choices, ladies. The hard way it would be.”

“Wait…” Fear appeared in her eyes. All these while she had wished that should her husband hear, it would be the death of her, so she decided to play the not guilty card.

To her, since Lin Qi had silenced those men, there was no link to them and they could work out of this alive and free.

Lin Qi turned her head to the side, giving her a look that told the latter she wondered what she was doing.

She reacted with a sign of her own and sighed. By the time she lifted her head, she was shocked to see the Officer looking hard at them.

“Are you two done? Do you think I am still joking? Confess now or else…” He paused, darting his gaze from side to side before letting it settle on the two of them together.

“Should I call out your crimes, you will not like the outcome of this and all charges would not be dropped but pushed through.”

“Stop trying to scare us into admitting a crime we did not commit,” Lin Qi voiced. “It won’t work.”

From the corner of the officer’s eyes, he could see Lin Xuilan shaking mildly from his threat.

He was only doing this for the sake of Lin Zian and Lin Liqin, but since the two of them chose to be difficult, they should not blame him for acting in accordance.

“Good then, I shall present you two with evidence. Your time’s up.”

“What?”

Neither lady could believe their eyes when the officer relayed the information before them. They had believed they could get away but with all the evidence laid out, Lin Qi shuddered in her seat.

His eyes went grim and dark as he stared at them, waiting for the sorry excuse they were to give.

Not just that, Lin Qi could not believe that the men she had thought would escape, ended up being caught and now everything had fallen.

“Shall we? Is there any other thing you would love to say before we proceed to take you back to your cells?”

Lin Qi’s eyes lit up at the opportunity and she straightened up in her seat. “Yes, Officer.”

“Ahan, I see someone is ready to speak up. Shoot, I am all ears,” he stated and crossed his hands in front of him.

She cast a side glance at Lin Xuilan, hoping the latter would not betray her since they were in this together. At this point, she did not wish to go down alone. That was the plan right from time.

And since Kim Fan was unreachable, there was no way he would remain unreachable to the authorities.

“We were not alone. We did not do this project alone,” she confessed.

“You didn’t/” The Officer inquired looking amused by the new piece of information.

Her smile broadened at the outcome she got and she nodded. “You can ask her. We were called into doing this.”

“Cajoled, I like the sound of that,” the Officer said with a smile and placed both hands on the table before him. “Speak up fast. Oh and if I find out you are trying to buy time, then by all means.”

Th devilish smile plastered on his lips made her rethink her plan but considering Kim Fan was a culprit too, she chinned up.

“Do you think I would go down alone when I was forced to do this?”

“Then by all means tell me. It is only right that everyone involved goes down.”

“Yes. But first, let us negotiate terms. If I tell you, you reduce our punishment.”

“And if I refuse?”

“Then good luck scouting for the mastermind which we know would plot another kidnapping or something even worse on my grandniece.”

“That can be arranged. I can appeal to the court to lighten your sentence, considering you are willing to aid in the case.”

‘Lighten, no. I want a better deal. I want to walk away from here with bail.”

“Do not bite off more than you can chew. Do you think all of your sins and Li Jing’s case against you can be bought with just a name? Fine, stay there and I would ensure the court knows you tried to bribe your way out of your mess amongst others.”

Lin Qi’s eyes went wide with shock, Terror and fear suddenly became two distinct ent.i.ties that would never be apart in her eyes.

“A name, going one,” the Officer enunciated with a grave tone.

“Two. You have barely 4 seconds to answer else…”

“Kim Fan!” Lin Xiulan blurted out quickly without a thought.
