Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 143 - 142: Classmate Lin, Please Cooperate with Our Investigation
The security staff felt uneasy under Lin Wan Yi’s gaze, but due to Liu Jian Country’s intimidation, he had to reluctantly repeat.
"Classmate Lin, please cooperate with our work."
Lin Wan Yi remained motionless.
Her gaze passed over the security staff, landing on Liu Jian Country’s smug face behind him.
"Cooperate with your work?"
Her voice wasn’t loud, yet it spread clearly throughout the entire corridor.
"May I ask, which school rule did I violate that requires me to be taken to the security office?"
"Or is it just because of the Vice Director Liu’s daughter’s one-sided claim, that I’m to be scrutinized?"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding students started discussing more fervently.
"Yeah, the door wasn’t even locked, why arrest someone?"
"Just because his father is the Vice Director? That’s just too tyrannical!"
Liu Jian Country’s facial muscles twitched; he hadn’t expected this delicate capitalist young lady to have such a sharp tongue.
He stepped forward and pointed at the security staff’s nose, swearing.
"What are you dazing for! Are you rebelling against heaven!"
"I told you to take her, so take her! If anything happens, I’ll take full responsibility, Liu Jian Country!"
He then turned to Lin Wan Yi with a sinister look.
"Don’t you want evidence? Once at the security office, you’ll naturally see the evidence!"
Lin Wan Yi seemed unfazed by his threat; instead, she turned towards the pale Chen Zhiyuan nearby.
"Mr. Chen."
"Since this is an investigation, you should join as well, right?"
Chen Zhiyuan’s body trembled, unable to utter a single "no" under Lin Wan Yi’s calm gaze, only managing to nod stiffly.
On the way to the security office, an unusual scene unfolded.
Lin Wan Yi walked at the very front, her spine straight and steps composed, more like a patrol rather than being investigated.
Chen Zhiyuan followed behind, head lowered, steps shallow, resembling a transported criminal.
Liu Jian Country and his daughter followed at the back, faces brimming with the satisfaction of a villain triumphant.
Further away was a group of students tagging along to watch the commotion.
Security office.
Once inside, Liu Jian Country immediately took control, arrogantly instructing the two security staff.
"Separate them and lock them up!"
"Interrogate the male first!"
Chen Zhiyuan was taken into a dimly lit small room next door.
Liu Jian Country followed in, slamming the door shut with a bang.
He didn’t sit down but stood high above, looking at the trembling Chen Zhiyuan like a leaf quaking in the wind.
"Kid, I’m giving you a chance."
His voice was low, like a serpent spitting venom.
"If you want to stay at Beijing University, you should know what to say."
Chen Zhiyuan raised his head, his lips quivering.
"Vice Director Liu... this... this really isn’t my fault..."
"It’s... It’s Lin Wan Yi, she..."
Liu Jian Country interrupted him, leaning close to his ear.
"I don’t care who it is, I only want one result."
"If you dare say one wrong word, I guarantee your record will forever be marked with ’poor character, questionable conduct’."
"You’ll never get into any good unit for the rest of your life."
"You decide."
This sentence poured ice-cold like a bucket of cold water over Chen Zhiyuan’s head.
His pride in his talents, his dreamed-of future, all clutched tightly now by this looming man before him.
He shuddered, every ounce of hesitation vanishing completely.
"It was her!"
Chen Zhiyuan abruptly raised his head, eyes blazing with the light of survival.
"It was Lin Wan Yi who actively asked me out!"
"She said her husband is a soldier, away from home for long periods; she... she felt lonely, wanted someone to talk to!"
"I initially refused! But she kept clinging to me!"
Liu Jian Country straightened up with satisfaction.
He patted Chen Zhiyuan’s shoulder, face breaking into a smile.
"That’s more like it."
"He who understands the times is wise."
He opened the door and called out to the outside, "Xiao Li, come in, take Mr. Chen’s statement! Note everything he just said!"
Holding the freshly documented "confession," Liu Jian Country pushed open the room where Lin Wan Yi was.
He slapped the paper filled with writing onto the table with a sharp sound.
"Lin Wan Yi!"
"With witnesses and material evidence, what is there left for you to try to wriggle out of!"
"Confess truthfully about your inappropriate relationship with Chen Zhiyuan!"
Lin Wan Yi sat on the chair, not lifting her eyelids since he had entered.
On hearing this, she slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on the so-called "confession".
"Vice Director Liu."
Her voice was as calm as still water.
"Where’s the evidence?"
Liu Jian Country was enraged by her unyielding demeanor.
"Evidence? Chen Zhiyuan has confessed everything! You’re the one who seduced him! That’s the evidence!"
Lin Wan Yi’s lips curled into a faint smile.
"Is that so?"
"Perfect."
"Please, Vice Director Liu, call Mr. Chen over, let’s confront each other face to face."
"Confrontation?" Liu Jian Country hesitated for a moment, immediately stiffening his neck and shouting.
"You want to collude? There’s no such procedure!"
"Since there’s no such procedure."
Lin Wan Yi stood up and tidied her clothes.
"I think, there’s no need for me to stay here any longer."
Saying this, she truly headed for the door.
"Stop!"
Liu Jian Country panicked, dashed forward like an arrow, spreading his arms wide to block the door.
"I tell you, Lin Wan Yi! If this matter isn’t thoroughly investigated today, you can’t leave this room!"
Lin Wan Yi halted, finally granting him a direct gaze.
Her eyes were icy cold, reminiscent of midwinter frozen lakes.
"Vice Director Liu."
Her words came clear and distinctly.
"If I remember correctly, you are the Vice Director of the logistics office, overseeing the cafeteria and accommodations for the school."
"You’re not police, nor a judge."
"What right do you have to interrogate me here?"
Liu Jian Country’s face instantly turned ashen like pig liver color.
"You... you are outrageous!"
"Bang!"
The office door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside.
Gu Lan rushed in with tears streaming down her face, followed by the panting Wang Guihua.
"Sister-in-law!"
She grabbed Lin Wan Yi’s hand, seeing her unharmed, cried even more fiercely.
"Are you alright! Did they hurt you!"
"My brother... my brother will be arriving soon!"
Liu Jian Country’s face changed; he pointed at the security staff at the door.
"What’s going on! You’re letting anyone in!"
"This is the security office! Non-essential personnel, leave immediately!"
Gu Lan, her eyes red, like a provoked young leopard, turned to Liu Jian Country and shouted.
"My sister-in-law is not a criminal! How dare you lock her up!"
"Let me tell you! My brother is the regiment commander of the military district! If you dare lay a finger on my sister-in-law, my brother won’t let you get away with it!"
Liu Jian Country at first froze, then as if hearing the grandest joke, let out a snide laugh.
"Regiment commander?"
He puffed up his belly, looking at Gu Lan with extreme disdain.
"Little girl, who are you trying to scare?"
"Let me tell you, this is Beijing University! It’s not your military!"
"Don’t mention a regiment commander, even if the king of heaven were to come, he’d have to follow our school’s rules!"
Just as he finished speaking.
"Crash——!"
A deafening, thunderous sound. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
The heavy solid wood door, violently kicked open from the outside.
The entire doorframe shattered under the enormous force, wood chips flying everywhere.
