98: Chapter 98 Su Yu's Crisis Resolved?
Hearing the voice outside, not only were the two men stunned, but even Su Yu was dazed.
She was certain that before her phone shut down just now, the emergency call hadn't gone through.
And even if it had, the police couldn't have arrived so quickly and found her room so precisely.
However, she reacted quickly and shouted loudly, "Help! Help! There are murderers here!"
By the time the two men snapped out of it and desperately tried to cover her mouth, it was already too late.
The police at the door immediately sensed something was wrong and warned loudly once more, "Open the door!"
The manager of the Hotel, who had come along, hurriedly called for housekeeping to get the master key card.
In less than two minutes, the door was opened.
"Don't move! Don't come over! Or I'll kill her!"
Seeing they had nowhere to run, the two men panicked.
Grabbing Su Yu to use as a shield, they held a knife against her throat!
The police outside were also momentarily stunned.
They were responsible for vice operations and had come to check the situation after receiving a report.
Even though they heard someone shouting about a murderer from outside just now, they only thought the person inside had drunk too much and was shouting nonsense.
They hadn't expected to actually encounter such vicious criminals.
The two police officers reacted quickly, drawing their guns and aiming them at the two men.
Given Su Yu's frame, she could at most only shield the skinny man.
The Robust Man was left exposed directly to the muzzles of the police guns.
The two of them were originally just partners, but in this situation, they both began to have their own ulterior motives.
The Robust Man stared at the police while quietly stepping back, trying to hide behind the skinny man.
But how could the skinny man be willing?
With such a size difference, if the Robust Man grabbed him to block a bullet, he would be finished.
So as the Robust Man retreated, he also retreated bit by bit.
The Robust Man noticed the skinny man's subtle movements, and his anger flared even more.
"Are you fucking trying to get me killed?"
"You're the one trying to get me killed!"
The skinny man refused to back down.
The two of them were forced to divide their attention between confronting the police and guarding against the person beside them.
They were already nervous, and this made it even more impossible to manage everything.
Su Yu realized her chance had come and gave the police a meaningful look.
Immediately after, she grabbed the skinny man's wrist that was holding the knife and threw her body violently to the side and back!
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, a bloody hole appeared in the skinny man's shoulder, and the knife dropped to the floor.
"Don't move!"
The police rushed forward and quickly brought the two under control.
Su Yu only had a shallow trail of blood on her arm where the knife had grazed her.
But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, one of the officers walked up to her and handcuffed her wrists as well.
"Miss, you are suspected of soliciting prostitution. Please come with us."
“...”
Su Yu's head was filled with nothing but question marks.
Prostitution?
Was this a joke?
She was a respectable lawyer in professional attire, and those were two men who were... quite unfortunate-looking.
Who was soliciting whom?
Even as she was escorted into the police car and taken to the station, she couldn't figure it out.
Looking at the cold handcuffs on her wrists, this was her first time sitting in a police car as a suspect.
Fortunately, as a legal professional, she was familiar with the process and knew that once the police understood the details, they wouldn't wrongly accuse her...
So she didn't say much along the way, thinking she would explain the situation clearly once they reached the interrogation room.
Coincidentally, just as she arrived at the police station, she encountered two acquaintances.
They were both lawyers from rival firms who had often been her opponents in court.
The two of them were also stunned when they saw her.
One of them couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Lawyer Su, how... how did you get brought back by the Vice Squad?"
"Eh? It couldn't be that your firm isn't getting any cases, so you went looking for a part-time job, right?"
The other chimed in.
As lawyers from top firms themselves, they naturally knew that with Su Yu's ability, it was impossible for her to have actually committed a crime and been caught.
However, they had always suffered setbacks at Su Yu's hands before. Now that they finally had a chance to put her down, they naturally wouldn't miss it.
Su Yu glared coldly at the two of them and said nothing, following the police straight into the interrogation room.
She swore that if she ever found out who reported her for prostitution, she would definitely make them pay dearly!
...
A restaurant near the Lin Corporation.
"Achoo!"
Lin Xiao had just put down his chopsticks when he couldn't help but sneeze.
Strange, it wasn't cold here. Why did he sneeze for no reason?
Could someone be cursing him?
As he thought this, the system's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Great, Third Sister is saved.]
[Ahhh? How could it be such a coincidence that she ran into her rivals? She was even caught on video, and it's going to be posted online?]
[Although this kind of rumor won't have any real impact on Third Sister, she'll definitely beat me to death when she gets back!]
[What do I do, what do I do? Should I go hide somewhere for a while? Maybe come back when Third Sister starts her next case and doesn't have time for me?]
Hearing Lin Xiao's inner thoughts, Lin Chuge and Lin Ran both tried their hardest to suppress their laughter.
They had long anticipated that with Su Yu's temperament, she would be furious once she found out she had been reported for soliciting male escorts.
Even if that report was made to save her.
A sudden idea struck Lin Chuge.
"A-Xiao, do you want to go out and have some fun lately? I happen to have a business trip coming up, and I can take you with me."
