The Rejected Heiress's Possesive Tycoon Husband-Chapter 22 The Calm Ninth Master

Li Corporation.

Li Han, holding a tablet, knocked and entered Li Tianyao’s office. "Ninth Master! Miss An Yan has been cyberbullied," he announced.

Li Tianyao took the tablet and swiftly browsed through it, his handsome face slightly furrowed. "Where is she now?"

"The police station," Li Han replied. "The police arrested Miss An Yan on charges of attempting to kill Lin Shang! However, after she arrived at the police station, she assaulted an officer—a deputy director, no less!"

"As for the online news, it was spread by marketing accounts Mrs. Lin bought, apparently to tarnish Miss An Yan’s reputation. Should I delete them?"

"The Lin family?" Li Tianyao mused for a moment, then asked, "Do you have the video of An Yan being taken away?"

"Already got it. Miss An Yan’s conversation with Mrs. Lin is very clear!"

"Then there’s no need to delete it. Keep an eye on things. When there’s enough for a conviction, release the evidence of the Lin family calling off the engagement and Mrs. Lin buying marketing accounts, all at once."

"Yes." Li Han silently gave the Ninth Master a thumbs up. Deleting posts about such matters tends to provoke public speculation, which is always detrimental to Miss An Yan’s reputation. Since that’s the case, it’s better to hold off and wait for the right moment to reveal the truth. When the tables turn completely, the orchestrators will end up in jail, and the Lin family won’t be able to salvage their reputation either. Awesome!

「In the hospital.」

Tan Yanzhe was playing a game beside Tan Wu’s hospital bed when he suddenly received a message from one of his men:

[Young Master Tan, Miss An Yan has been slandered!]

Tan Yanzhe clicked the link and glanced at it, immediately becoming furious. "They’re utterly shameless!" he seethed. "I was going to wait until those two recovered before reporting this. Fine, let’s deal with it now!"

He went downstairs, hopped on his motorcycle, and sped towards the police station!

「An Family.」

An Zhongbo paced restlessly in the living room. The butler had told him Yanyan left after breakfast. It was now midnight, and she still hadn’t returned, which made him worried. A young lady like her shouldn’t be out so late, risking trouble. And her phone was unreachable!

Just as he was worrying, a scream came from upstairs. "Dad, something terrible has happened!"

An Shimeng rushed down with her phone. "Sister has been taken by the police! Loads of people online are cursing her, calling her a serial homewrecker!"

"What?" An Zhongbo’s face turned pale. He snatched An Shimeng’s phone, and after a quick glance, his lips trembled with anger. "Nonsense! This is absolute nonsense! Yanyan has only been back a few days!"

"Yaoluo! An Yaoluo!!" An Zhongbo bellowed. "Immediately have the PR department suppress this news! It mustn’t spread any further!"

An Yaoluo frowned. "Alright! I’ll arrange it right now."

"Old Xiao, get the car, quick! We’re going to the police station!" That girl grew up in the mountains and has never experienced anything like this. She must be terrified!

Bai Xiaoyun followed closely. "I’ll come with you."

On the way, Bai Xiaoyun called an acquaintance at the police station to inquire about the situation. Only then did she find out An Yan had been arrested for attempting to kill Lin Shang. Crucially, once the girl arrived at the police station, for some unknown reason, she had attacked a deputy director!

Bai Xiaoyun’s heart thrilled at the news. Excellent! With An Yan arrested, her reputation would be stained, and Ninth Master Li definitely won’t want her anymore. When the time is right, I’ll find a way for Mengmeng to get more exposure to the Ninth Master. Maybe he’ll take a liking to Mengmeng. She felt so smug she could practically float, yet her face was a mask of sorrow as she said, "It’s Lin Shang again. What kind of potion did the Lin family give An Yan? She has the Ninth Master, yet she’s still entangled with her ex-fiancé."

An Zhongbo glared at her. "We haven’t even seen Yanyan yet, so stop spouting nonsense!" He didn’t believe for a second that An Yan could kill anyone. It must be a plot by the Lin family!

Meanwhile, An Yaoluo also learned the real reason for An Yan’s arrest. For a moment, she didn’t even know what to say about An Yan. You already broke off the engagement and publicly humiliated him, so why did you have to say something so ruthless that could land someone in such serious trouble? Now look, one sentence, and you’ve gotten yourself into this mess. And who knows if the Lin family will even agree to a private settlement! Alas!

While grumbling, she diligently supervised the PR department staff as they deleted comments. But the more they deleted, the hotter the topic became.

[Someone’s starting to delete comments. Bros, save them quick! Say no more, just her figure alone is enough to get me going!]

[Saved! Let them try deleting it from my computer’s photo album. LOL...]

[Got any resources? Almighty netizens, please share sources and links!]

[Any pics with less clothing, or even better, none at all? Desperate!!] freewebnσvel.cøm

[...]

Where there’s demand, there’s a market. Soon, people started Photoshopping An Yan’s body onto swimsuit pictures pilfered from who knows where. This attracted even more netizens! The hype grew instead of dying down!

An Yaoluo was so furious she wanted to smash her phone. Meanwhile, An Shimeng was so ecstatic she wanted to burst into song, celebrating what a wonderful day it was! An Yan, you’re finished! Hahaha... If she weren’t afraid her eldest brother would notice, she’d have jumped in and Photoshopped some even more scandalous pictures to ’bless’ the netizens.

「Inside the interrogation room.」

Lai Xiaojun’s face was grim. "Leniency for confession, severity for resistance! An Yan, tell me right now how you planned to kill Lin Shang!"

"I didn’t want to kill him! And I have nothing to confess."

"Persist in resisting, and it’s a dead end for you! An Yan, you’re only twenty. If you’re ruined over such a trivial matter, then..."

An Yan’s brows rose, her pretty face instantly darkening. "Are you trying to coerce a confession?"

Lai Xiaojun stiffened. "Don’t you dare slander me!"

An Yan said sternly, "You heard an out-of-context recording and concluded I wanted to kill Lin Shang. You then explicitly threatened me with a ’dead end,’ yet you claim you’re not trying to coerce a confession. Isn’t that a double standard?"

The female officer beside Lai Xiaojun, who was taking notes, couldn’t help but twitch her lips.

An Yan ignored Lai Xiaojun and turned to the female officer. "You’ll record all of this accurately, won’t you?"

The female officer glanced at Lai Xiaojun and nodded. "Of course! I will record every word spoken here verbatim."

"I want to see Zhang Xuebin!"

The female officer was taken aback. "You know our Chief?"

"Sort of. Call him for me. Once I see him, I’ll tell you everything I know and everything you want to hear!"

Lai Xiaojun didn’t want to give her the chance to meet his superior at all. "Even if you knew the Jade Emperor himself, it wouldn’t clear your name!"

Remembering his promise to his sister to teach An Yan a lesson, Lai Xiaojun stood up. Somehow, the interrogation room’s surveillance feed suddenly went dead.

"Xiaohe," Lai Xiaojun said to the female officer, "go get Miss An a glass of water. Let her cool down for a while."

Xiaohe got up and took a cup, only to find the water cooler empty. However, there was another water cooler outside. Pouring a glass of water would only take two or three minutes, she thought, and turned to leave.
