94: The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie

"Young Master Jiang, are you satisfied with these arrangements of mine?"

After Pei Yunxi left, Bai Huamei blinked, looked at Jiang Che sitting opposite her, smiled charmingly, and spoke in a lazy tone.

The aggrieved, pitiful expression from just a moment ago was already gone.

They say women are born actors.

The prettier the woman, the better she lies; this saying is truly a golden rule.

"Satisfied..."

Jiang Che nodded, picked up the hot tea in front of him, took a small sip, and agreed.

From the way she called the police to report Mu Feng and Chen Hao for sexual harassment, it was clear that Bai Huamei was a talent worth nurturing and putting to good use!

"As long as Young Master Jiang is satisfied~"

"Otherwise, if I couldn't satisfy Young Master Jiang, I don't know how Senior Sister would punish me later~"

Bai Huamei chuckled, also picked up the hot tea that Pei Yunxi had ordered to be prepared, took a small sip, and chatted idly with Jiang Che.

Although it was their first meeting, Bai Huamei did not show the cold detachment toward Jiang Che that she showed other men; instead, she appeared very enthusiastic.

Her relationship with Senior Sister had always been very close, like sisters.

Since Jiang Che was Senior Sister's precious younger brother, by that logic, wasn't he her younger brother too?

As an older sister, wasn't it perfectly normal to dote on her younger brother?

Hmm, that's right, exactly!

...

After leaving the reception room, Pei Yunxi walked to the interrogation room where Mu Feng was being held and asked the staff member.

"How is the situation?"

"Has Mu Feng admitted to the harassment?"

"Pei Yunxi, our team has retrieved the surveillance footage from last night from Ink Dawn Bar, and the footage does indeed prove that Mu Feng and Chen Hao harassed the victims."

"Moreover, Mu Feng ordered hundreds of bottles of expensive high-end red wine in one go last night..."

"Mu Feng refuses to admit to this, insisting that the drinks they consumed were drugged and demanding compensation from the bar owner."

The staff member reported the latest situation to Pei Yunxi with a respectful attitude.

"Refuses to admit it?"

"Have the test results for the drinks come out yet?"

Pei Yunxi raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.

She had always insisted on handling cases impartially; if what Mu Feng said was true, she would not deliberately favor Bai Huamei.

"They have, the lab just sent the test results over..."

"Through the analysis of the red wine glasses and the wine left at the scene, no hallucinogenic substances were found."

"Furthermore, many people at the scene also drank that red wine, and no untoward incidents occurred."

"Mu Feng's claims are likely baseless..."

As the staff member spoke, he handed a test report directly to Pei Yunxi.

Pei Yunxi reached out to take it, looked it over, and appeared thoughtful.

Based on this test report, combined with the retrieved surveillance video, the fact that Mu Feng and Chen Hao committed sexual harassment could be fully proven.

Mu Feng was talking complete nonsense, trying to smear Bai Huamei.

Pei Yunxi sneered and gave orders.

"Take this test report inside and see what Mu Feng has to say."

"The victim is now demanding 200 million in compensation, covering all kinds of expenses."

"Tell Mu Feng that if he admits it now and agrees to a settlement, he will only be detained and fined for sexual harassment."

"If the matter goes to the procuratorate and the court, he will likely be charged with forced indecency, punishable by three to ten years in prison. Make him understand the severity of the situation!"

"Understood, Pei Yunxi."

The staff member was slightly stunned; although he felt that 200 million in compensation was completely extortionate, he didn't say anything more.

In his view, this idiot Young Master Mu Feng had clearly been set up by someone with ulterior motives, only he didn't realize it yet.

The other party had obviously targeted Mu Feng because of his status as the eldest young master of the Mu family, which is why they dared to demand such an astronomical sum.

After all, he had already handled countless similar cases before.

These days, even sexual consent can be revoked; what other magical things can't happen?

Thinking of the videos of Mu Feng that had gone viral on the internet, he suddenly understood.

This guy could even do those kinds of disgusting things; it was very likely that his brain wasn't working right!

It would be a miracle if he could realize he had been set up.

Even if Mu Feng refused to admit it, it didn't matter; as long as the chain of evidence was complete, they could still proceed with the case and convict him without his confession.

After giving the orders, Pei Yunxi glanced at Mu Feng in the interrogation room through the one-way glass, picked up the statements of Xiao Hong and the other woman from the table, and turned to leave, planning to go and properly reward Chen Hao, that double-crosser.

After Pei Yunxi left, the staff member conveyed her instructions to the two police officers interrogating Mu Feng.

After receiving the instructions, Xiao Li and Xiao Wang exchanged glances, both understanding what the other was thinking.

Clearing his throat, Xiao Li spoke first.

"Mu Feng, we have firmly grasped the evidence of your crime. Furthermore, no hallucinogenic substances were detected in the red wine glasses or the wine. At this point, you should just confess truthfully."

"That's right, leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist!"

Xiao Wang also chimed in at the right moment, his expression serious and solemn, as if he were thinking in Mu Feng's best interest.

"No hallucinogenic substances detected?"

"No... that's impossible!"

Mu Feng was dumbfounded, shaking his head desperately and muttering to himself. He was on the verge of losing control, unable to accept the reality before him. He was deeply shaken and on the verge of a breakdown.

If there hadn't been something wrong with those drinks, how could he have mistaken that bastard protagonist Chen Hao for a delicate beauty, and even...

Thinking back now, Mu Feng realized how abnormal his state was last night.

Could it be that ever since he was played by that damn bastard Jiang Che last time, something had gone wrong with his brain, and he was already showing signs of split personality disorder?

Otherwise, how could he have screwed that bastard protagonist Chen Hao without being drugged?

In an instant, Mu Feng began to doubt his entire life...

"You can look at this..."

Seeing that Mu Feng still wouldn't confess at this point, Xiao Li walked out of the interrogation room, took the test report, handed it to Mu Feng, and spoke earnestly.

"This is the test report. The tests show that there were absolutely no problems with the wine, and the same goes for the others who drank it. The reason you did those things was entirely your own personal behavior."

"If you don't confess here and refuse to agree to a settlement, when it goes to the procuratorate, you will likely be charged with forced indecency."

"You must be well aware of how serious this charge is, right?"

"Decide for yourself what the pros and cons are."

After speaking, Xiao Li didn't say anything more and waited quietly for Mu Feng's response.

They were all professionally trained, all mastering various interrogation tactics; getting information out of Mu Feng was a simple matter.

It was obvious that the young master of the Mu family before them had absolutely no experience in this area; he was already panicking, fearful, and it wouldn't be long before he admitted everything and agreed to a settlement.

Once Mu Feng voluntarily admitted to sexual harassment and had his statement recorded, overturning the case later would be impossible.

In this situation, the best way to handle it would be to say nothing and wait for his lawyer, a right that Mu Feng completely had.

As the eldest young master of the Mu family, it was impossible for Mu Feng not to understand this simple, common-sense principle.

As for why he hadn't made such a request, Xiao Li didn't know and didn't want to know.

After all, if a lawyer really came to visit, it would only increase his workload for no reason, and he wouldn't make trouble for himself.
