206: Chapter 26 Utter Defeat

Chen Ling's eyes reddened. She pointed a trembling finger at Shen Ya and Shen Yan, saying, "You... you! You bunch of lunatics! I won't let you get away with this!"

Seeing that she was so angry she had started talking nonsense, Shen Yan said coldly, "Lunatics? I think the one who's truly crazy is you. Which word my sister said was wrong?"

"Didn't you betray me, conspire with other shareholders to dilute my shares, buy my house and car at an ultra-low price, and then kick me out of the company?"

Her fingertips trembled violently.

Chen Ling opened her mouth, finding herself completely unable to refute Shen Yan's questions.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Karma really is a cycle; heaven spares no one. Who told her to treat Shen Yan like that before? Now that Shen Yan has made a comeback, isn't she in a miserable state?"

"I originally thought today would be boring, but I didn't expect to see such a good show. No, I have to record this scene!"

"Hahahaha, you're only starting to record now? I'm telling you, I started ages ago. I've already saved that footage to my album."

The gossip from the surroundings smashed into Chen Ling like cannonballs.

Trembling all over, Chen Ling wept, hoping that everything happening now was just a dream.

"No... it's not like this, it's not like this!"

She screamed while suddenly lunging at Shen Ya to tear at her.

Shen Ya wasn't afraid of Chen Ling to begin with.

Seeing her lunging forward, she directly flipped over and pinned her down, tearing at Chen Ling's hair.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The sound of loud slaps began to ring out again.

Chen Ling was slapped until her whole head started spinning.

Just as the scene was in total chaos, the police suddenly entered.

"What are you doing!"

"Everyone quiet down! Don't move!"

The sudden appearance of the police stunned the guests, Shen Ya, and Chen Ling.

"Who called the police?"

Hearing the guest's question, a policeman frowned and stepped forward, saying, "What call? We're here to find someone!"

As he finished speaking.

Shen Ya got up from Chen Ling and straightened her clothes.

"Officers, who are you looking for?"

Chen Ling also got up after Shen Ya and smoothed out her dress.

"Did you... come to the wrong place? We don't have the person you're looking for here."

The policeman frowned and asked back, "Isn't this the wedding hall for someone named Chen Ling?"

Chen Ling blinked, an ominous premonition rising in her heart.

"What do you want with Chen Ling?"

The policeman didn't answer her but asked stubbornly, "Is there anyone named Chen Ling present?"

Upon hearing the question, all the guests' eyes instantly gathered on Chen Ling.

Seeing she couldn't hide, Chen Ling smoothed her hair, suppressed the unease in her heart, and stepped forward to the police, saying, "I am Chen Ling. Why are you looking for me?"

"Click!"

Looking at the silver handcuffs that suddenly appeared on her wrists.

Chen Ling was completely dazed.

"I'm not the one who hit anyone! I'm the one who got hit! Why are you arresting me?"

The policeman asked with a dissatisfied look, "What's this about hitting people? We're arresting you because you're suspected of smuggling! Enough! Don't say anything else, come with us!"

Smuggling?!

The color drained from Chen Ling's face instantly.

Shaking her head, she said, "No, no, no, you must have misunderstood something. I've never participated in such illegal business!"

Seeing that she wouldn't admit it until faced with the evidence, the policeman frowned, took an arrest warrant and a file on Yang Jin out of his bag, and said, "You know this person, right?"

Seeing Yang Jin's information, the ominous premonition in Chen Ling's heart grew stronger. Her lips trembled as she replied:

"I... I know him, but what he did has nothing to do with me! I didn't smuggle anything!"

The policeman put away the file and the arrest warrant, saying impatiently, "According to our investigation, you are currently the legal representative and chairperson of the financial group under Yang Jin. Regardless of whether you were aware of the crimes committed within the company, you must come with us."

Financial company crimes?

Legal representative and chairperson?

Several keywords in a row reminded Chen Ling of the scene where Yang Jin had hurriedly taken her to handle the relevant procedures some time ago.

So... Yang Jin knew that the crimes within his company could no longer be hidden, so he specifically found an excuse to transfer the positions of legal representative and chairperson to her?!

After figuring everything out, Chen Ling's legs went completely weak.

She slowly slumped to the ground, her face unknowingly covered in snot and tears.

...

"Beep beep!"

On the road, the sounds of vehicles constantly rang in their ears.

Shen Ya turned to glance at Shen Yan and then asked him softly, "Did you know all along that Chen Ling's wedding wouldn't happen?"

Shen Yan curled his lips and replied, "You're only realizing it now?"

Shen Ya pouted and said, "Wasn't I blinded by anger?"

"Thinking about it now, you seemed very confident yesterday that this wedding wouldn't happen..."

"So, you knew all along that her boyfriend was trouble?"

Shen Yan nodded honestly.

"Yes, but I didn't know that early. I just happened to discover it by chance during an investigation some time ago."

As he spoke, he controlled the steering wheel with one hand and patted Shen Ya's head with the other.

"But I'm still very grateful to you for today."

Shen Ya lowered her head dejectedly and said, "Grateful for what? I didn't even help you with anything."

Shen Yan chuckled, "How did you not help? Didn't you help me give her a beating today?"

Shen Ya replied huffily, "What's a beating? If it weren't for her... forget it, I don't want to bring up the past anymore."

"What do you think will happen to Chen Ling? Does she have any chance of getting out of prison?"

Shen Yan shrugged and replied, "I don't know. It depends on whether the lawyer she hires is any good. But I reckon she won't be out for at least ten or twenty years."

Hearing this, Shen Ya's mood improved again.

"That's good then. I just couldn't stand her arrogant attitude, acting like she's so right even though she clearly did something shameful!"

After saying that, she glanced at the surrounding street scenery and turned to ask Shen Yan, "By the way, where are we going now?"

Shen Yan replied, "To Sister Hui's place. She cooked a meal at home and invited us both over to eat."

"Eating at Sister Hui's place?!"

Shen Ya's eyes lit up, and she asked Shen Yan with a gossipy look, "Oh, I haven't asked you yet, how did you and Sister Hui meet?"

Shen Yan was speechless: "...Do you have to be so gossipy?"

Shen Ya pouted and acted spoiled, "It's not a big deal, just tell me!"

Shen Yan had always been helpless against his sister. He sighed and told her the truth, "We met in a lottery shop."
