Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 469: Song Anqi Under Investigation, Sent to Prison
In the master bedroom on the second floor, a man stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing deeply at the entrance outside.
With the covering of the dark-striped curtains, his facial features appeared even more stern. Wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with sleeves rolled up to the elbows revealing strong forearms, he bit a cigarette, slightly furrowing his brow.
From beginning to end, his gaze never left Song Yinyin.
Only when Jiang Lan was escorted into the car by Butler Rong, and Song Yinyin turned back to the villa, did the tension in his jaw slightly relax.
He tossed the cigarette butt into a trash can nearby and turned to go downstairs.
Song Yinyin happened to walk in from outside, and he stopped at the staircase as Song Yinyin walked up step by step.
They met at the corner.
Lu Jihan frowned and asked in a low voice, "What did you discuss?"
She shook her head, reluctant to speak, but eventually said, "She asked me to forgive Song Anqi and have mercy on the Song Family, but I... didn’t agree."
As Song Yinyin spoke, she looked up at Lu Jihan, her eyes misting with hidden tears, "Do you think I’m being particularly cruel? Am I too cold-hearted?"
Lu Jihan stretched out his long arm, pulling her into his embrace, resting his chin on her head, his voice as resonant as a bell, "You did nothing wrong, truly."
He gently patted her back like an elder, and held the back of her head against his chest.
"You have endured for so many years, and they’ve shown no change. Especially Song Anqi, who has escalated to the point of even involving our son, naturally she must face the consequences!"
Listening to Lu Jihan’s voice, resonating from his chest, Song Yinyin felt especially at ease.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and reached out to embrace his waist.
Lu Jihan, in turn, hugged her tighter, warming each other, standing at the corner for a full five minutes.
After a long time, Song Yinyin finally looked up, "Will you spare the Song Family?"
Lu Jihan slightly pursed his lips and said, "I can spare the Song Family, but they’ve already fallen into an incurable condition, beyond salvation."
"..." Song Yinyin opened her mouth, but stopped short of speaking.
After a brief pause, he explained, "Even if I don’t block Song’s Enterprise from getting a loan from Imperial City Commercial Bank, the bank would eventually uncover their financial issues. I just let them know a bit earlier."
So that’s how it is, nothing more could be done.
Song Yinyin nodded understandingly.
After a while, she asked Lu Jihan again, "And what about Song Anqi, how do you plan to deal with her?"
"How else, by legal means, of course." Lu Jihan sneered coldly through his breath.
"How long will she be sentenced?" Song Yinyin asked again.
Lu Jihan frowned and said, "Typically, under the laws in Country Z, orchestrating and abetting kidnapping carries a sentence of at least ten years. But since she’s a first-time offender, and Dabai is unharmed, whether her sentence will be lighter remains uncertain."
Song Yinyin silently nodded, again burying her head into his chest.
...
A few days later, while still hospitalized, Song Anqi received a summons from the police.
Someone anonymously reported that Song Anqi was involved in the event where Song Dabai was kidnapped and provided some conclusive evidence.
In less than a week, Song Anqi was arrested and jailed, undergoing police investigation.
Two weeks later, Song’s Enterprise plunged into a financial crisis, their funding chain severed, quickly reaching the brink of bankruptcy. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
That morning, Song Yinyin turned on the TV and saw a news broadcast on the screen—
The former goddess of the piano arts, now arrested for kidnapping, behind bars.
