Song Yansheng's words were light and casual, yet each sentence was like a stone crashing into everyone's ears.
Because what he said precisely corroborated Shi Nuan's earlier words:
—She was drugged last night, she was framed, and the person who framed her was none other than her half-sister, Shi Jiaojiao!
Shi Jiaojiao's complexion had turned as white as possible, her lips trembling as she said, "No...impossible. You're talking nonsense, what evidence do you have? I left the Lan Du Bar early last night, I have no idea what you're talking about..."
Li Guirong also chimed in, "Yes, I can verify this, the entire Shi Family can vouch for it, Jiaojiao was home by just after nine last night, and she didn't leave the house again... Mr. Song, please don't make false accusations!"
Shi Yuanbo furrowed his brows, at this moment he didn't know what to say, both sides were his daughters, who could he protect?
The police officer standing nearby was also surprised, but he quite believed in Song Yansheng's words nevertheless.
After all, Song Yansheng was not an ordinary person, nor someone who would falsely accuse or frame a person with whom he had minimal conflict of interest!
However, the specifics still require evidence.
The police officer said, "Mr. Song, do you have any eyewitnesses or any third party who saw what you mentioned just now?"
"Of course... my assistant knows everything. To be frank, the injuries on that Young Master Ye's face were from when he attempted to assault Nuannuan and my assistant stopped him. If you don't believe me, you can call that Young Master Ye over for a confrontation with my assistant. At that time, my assistant and I were both in Suite 2301. Officer, if you don't believe me, you can investigate."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jiaojiao's face turned pale. She clung to Li Guirong's hand, seeking her help.
At this moment, she was afraid.
The police immediately called someone over to investigate, while Li Guirong quickly said, "Mr. Song, it's not that we don't believe you, but your Assistant Chi has been with you for many years and is very loyal. Naturally, they would agree with whatever you say. Besides, leaving aside Young Master Ye, who in the entire city T would dare to offend the Song Family..."
Song Yansheng raised an eyebrow, "Are you saying, Mrs. Shi, that I'm using my power to bully, falsely accusing Miss Shi Jiaojiao?"
Li Guirong took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Song, that's not what I meant..."
"Then what do you mean?"
The person answering was a woman with a sharp and cold voice.
Everyone was slightly stunned because the voice came from Shi Nuan.
Right at this moment, she had already stood up, her face pale, showing no expression, but her dark eyes appeared to emit a cold light, like a sharp sword piercing straight through.
"Auntie, aren't you now fully protecting your daughter as well? You say Second Uncle is using his power to bully, what about you? Aren't you being partial?"
Li Guirong said, "Nuannuan, how can you say that? What I'm stating are the facts. What Mr. Song just said can't really be called evidence, but there are many real pieces of evidence of you injuring someone while driving. Moreover, even if Mr. Song met you last night and saved you, what happened after that? Where were you? Don't tell me, you spent the whole night with Mr. Song!"
Shi Nuan bit her lip, her finger bones slightly tightened, her nails embedding into her palm, causing a faint pain.
Seeing this, Li Guirong felt somewhat triumphant and continued, "Moreover, didn't you say you were drugged? A single man and woman together for a whole night, what were you doing? Nuannuan, I advise you to think carefully before speaking, because Mr. Song is Xiao Chuan's Second Uncle. Xiao Chuan just passed away, don't do something to betray him..."
Upon hearing this, Shi Nuan's face turned even paler, like paper, standing there, unable to say a word.
Li Guirong gave a cold snort in her heart; she knew, she wouldn't dare to speak!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a tall, imposing man suddenly stepped forward and pulled Shi Nuan into his embrace.
At Shi Nuan's surprise, she suddenly felt the man's large hand begin to tear at the buttons of her shirt collar. Realizing what was happening, she wanted to cry out "No—" but it was already too late.
A button was pulled off by the man's hand and fell to the ground, clearly revealing an ambiguous red mark on the young girl's neck.
The mark was very beautiful, like a brand, shaped like a butterfly, fluttering on the girl's fair skin.
The man's cold eyes glanced over everyone, finally fixing on Li Guirong, his voice indifferent as he spoke, "Do you need more explanation, Mrs. Shi?"
