Chapter 234: Truth Revealed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The conversation between the two had indeed become somewhat ambiguous.
Even Wen Miao noticed it and her eyes darted between the two of them mischievously.
Uncharacteristically, Mei Shu said, “I’m just feeling hot.”
“Really?” Lu Si’s voice was very soft.
So soft that it felt like a feather had landed on her heart.
Mei Shu suddenly felt a bit itchy inside, and her whole body felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The next Monday, everything unfolded just as they had expected.
Huang Rui, after meeting with the so-called relatives, quickly decided to turn over a new leaf and immediately confessed that everything had been orchestrated by Wang Yue.
He provided every detail to the police, including the methods of their dealings, the locations, and how they communicated.
As for the forged video, he claimed to have made it himself without any help from others.
With the case at this stage, although there were still some doubts, Captain Wang could already begin making arrests.
At that time, Wang Yue and Mei Yun were both at home.
Due to the injuries she sustained from Mei Shu that day, Wang Yue was still wearing an eye mask, and a pungent medicinal odor wafted from her even without getting close.
Mei Yun was irritated by her constant crying, and, coupled with the secretary’s lack of progress in the investigation, he had grown darker in mood.
“Honey, even if 1 didn’t handle packing up Mei Shu well, you don’t have to keep wearing a cold expression towards me, right? After all, I’m your wife. Don’t you think about our past marital affection?” Wang Yue complained as she wiped away her tears.
She knew she could continue saying these things because she was sure Mei Yun had no evidence.
Mei Yun, feeling irritated, smashed his lips, “Why are you crying? Has Mei Shu wronged you? It’s because you’re favoring her! If you treated these kids and Mei Mu as well as you treat Mei Shu, would Mei Shu treat you this way?”
“What else can I do for her? Do you know how hard it is to be a stepmother? If you’re too strict, others will say you’re a wicked stepmother. If you’re not strict enough, they’ll say 1 haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities as a stepmother. I’m damned from both sides, so what should I do? What do you want me to do?” Wang Yue tearfully complained to him.
“Since Mei Shu came back, I’ve bought her anything she wanted. Those few boys in the house have the freedom to do as they please, and I take care of everything. Haven’t 1 done well enough?” Wang Yue spoke with increasing grievances, and she even seemed to be convincing herself.
It appeared as if she had portrayed herself as a stepmother who had endured constant mistreatment by her wicked stepdaughter.
However, this was far from the truth.
Mei Yun was keenly aware of the reality, but he couldn’t find any evidence.
Just at that moment, the doorbell rang, and soon the sound of Butler Zhao opening the door could be heard.
“Why have you come here? Whose are you looking for?”
“Hey! You can’t come in!”
A chaotic series of footsteps entered the room.
Mei Yun stood up instinctively and saw that a group of police officers had brazenly entered their home.
“Officers, what is this about…”
His words were cut off halfway as he glanced meaningfully at the woman on the sofa behind him.
Upon seeing the police, Wang Yue had already begun to shiver uncontrollably. Her lips turned purple, and she said, “Why have you come in? Who allowed you to enter my home? This is my home. Please leave!”
“You are Wang Yue, right?” Captain Wang sneered, “Ms. Wang, we suspect you are related to a rape case. Please come with us.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Yun’s fist had already landed on Wang Yue’s face. “B*tch! 1 thought you’d just made a fake video, but I never thought you’d actually have people go and rape my daughter! How can you be so wicked?”
Wang Yue had been struck on the wound on her face by his fist and was crying out in pain on the floor, “Police, my husband is beating me! Arrest him quickly! He wants to kill me! The Meis want to kill me!”
“Mr. Mei, please calm down,” Captain Wang grabbed Mei Yun’s wrist, “Ms. Wang’s crimes will be determined by the court. Please allow us to take her away first.”
“I’m not going. I’m not going anywhere! What rape case? I don’t know anything! You can’t just arrest people randomly; I’m going to find a lawyer, and I’m going to sue you! I’m going to find a lawyer!” Wang Yue futilely resisted the police’s arrest, and she was eventually handcuffed.
Her tantrums were first-rate, and two police officers had almost lost control when trying to subdue her.
Mei Yun, seeing her unrepentant face, gritted his teeth and said, “You wicked woman, 1 won’t let you off!”
Just as Mei Yun shouted at her, Wang Yue, in an apparent epiphany, suddenly grew quiet. It seemed as though she had realized that she was truly beyond help this time, so she allowed the police to take her away.
Mei Yun followed them out of the yard. “Officers, the video involving my daughter…”
He had been thinking about it all along, so he finally had to ask for a definite answer.
Luckily, Captain Wang’s response didn’t disappoint him. “It’s indeed a forgery, and we’ve learned that your wife gave a significant sum of money to those hooligans in the video. There were also large deposits in her bank account recently. Did you know?”
Mei Yun was momentarily stunned but quickly understood, “She sold off her businesses?”
