me face was infinitely magnified. His eyes were cold and his smile a little wicked."Well, aren't you going to finish watching"Just then, the woman on TV suddenly said in a sweet voice, "It looks delic...The newspaper explicitly stated that Lin Meng was being kept by someone, and she also pointed out that the person keeping her was Rong Ling. It then went on to list a number of things about her and Rong Ling.

The newspaper sarcastically said: The CEO of the prestigious East Asia Group, instead of being a model citizen, broke the law and played with an underage girl. This makes one question his administrative capabilities and discourages shareholders and customers from having confidence in such a company. Furthermore, for someone like Lin Meng, a murderer, Rong Ling used his power to forcefully intervene in the judicial system and protect her. Such actions are truly hateful! Throughout history, murder has always been considered natural retribution, so the media strongly condemns the actions of Lin Meng and Rong Ling!

Other media outlets have added details about the persecution, such as using their own businesses to maliciously suppress Da Shang Department Store, and calling on citizens to open their eyes and see clearly who is right and who is wrong.

In general, such news is very detrimental to Rong Ling.

When Rong Ling saw these reports, his face immediately darkened. His cold eyes flashed with icy anger. He thought about it for a moment and could roughly guess that Dashang must be behind this. What he didn't expect was that he had clearly warned the newspaper, but some people refused to know their place and dared to go against him!

"Damn it!" He cursed under his breath, gulped down the milk on the table, and walked away, intending to pay those disrespectful people a visit.

Lin Meng hurriedly picked up the newspaper she had been looking at, reading it back and forth, carefully examining every word. Her heart turned cold as she finished reading the reports. For some reason, four words flashed through her mind: "Beauty brings trouble!"

Then, there was a helpless smile!

This world just seems to have it out for her! To be honest, she's gotten used to all the back and forth. It's one thing for her to bear these hardships alone, but why drag Rong Ling into this This man is good enough, so good that she's the only one who owes him. How could she let him suffer like this because of her!

She might have been impulsive, thinking of running away. But in this world, there are too many unpredictable things. She was caught back, everything was an accident, uncontrollable. However, there were some things she thought she could still control.

At the table, nibbling on a piece of bread whose taste she no longer remembered, she nevertheless curved her lips deeply and smiled with a cold, smug expression.

God may play tricks on us, but she isn't just going to let Him roll us around like dough!

At nine thirty in the morning, the police station called, asking her to go there immediately. She didn't call Rong Ling, but took a taxi there alone. Her relationship with Rong Ling had been widely publicized in the newspapers, so she couldn't appear in public with him anymore, giving those damned reporters another topic to write about.

As soon as she stepped onto the police station grounds, a swarm of reporters who had been waiting there for her descended upon her like flies to meat. They buzzed all around her, eager to get their questions answered.

Her heart, like a runaway elevator, plummeted straight down. Only then did she realize that everyone had been waiting here all along; only then did she understand that she was called here for nothing more than a trap. But her heart had already sunk to the very bottom, unable to fall any further. Then, in fact, it became stable, what was there to be afraid of!

Even if she gave her all, she would certainly ensure that man's safety. Even though she was lowly and had nothing, she ate what he ate and drank what he drank, but she would still do everything in her power to protect him!

Lin Meng, I would like to ask, is it true that according to the newspaper, you are being supported by Rong Ling

Journalists are always sharp, their sharpness sometimes appears harsh and sometimes is extremely annoying, making one want to grab a club and knock them unconscious immediately. But you can't do that, so you can only feel resentment, wondering why there is such a profession as journalism and why there are people who like to exploit others and expose their vulnerabilities like this!

Lin Meng raised a smile, already prepared. She wasn't stupid either; she knew some things and understood others. So she replied, "That's not true, I'm only temporarily living in Rong Ling's house."

"Temporarily living! As someone with the status of Rong Ling, he is worlds apart from you. Could he possibly let you live there temporarily!"

"Well, well, he's a good guy."

"That's not necessarily true. Why don't you just admit that you were being supported by him! It was all in front of everyone back then, your father gave you to Rong Ling!"

“Oh, what a public audience, please find that person for me and let me confront him. Otherwise, I can sue you for defamation!”

The reporter was stunned speechless for a moment. On the other side, other reporters popped their heads out and asked:

"How could Rong Ling be so kind, just arranging a house for you to live in! Why wouldn't he offer it to other people Please explain this to me!"

This answer can be likened to: Why is it you, right now, holding the microphone and asking me this question, instead of someone else!

The reporter was also taken aback, not expecting this girl to be so sharp-tongued!

Then, another reporter took over and asked a question.

The police said you ran away because you sold the necklace for a huge sum of money and were afraid Ling would investigate. Isn't that necklace yours! Your classmates say you always wore it! Or is it that Ling gave it to you, so you sold it out of fear! But why would Ling give you such an expensive gift That seems like something only a boyfriend would do, doesn't it!

That emerald necklace, I did wear it for a long time. It was given to me by the boss of Gao Corporation as a thank you for helping him out, not by Rong Ling. The reason I ran away was because I stole a bracelet from Rong Ling. That bracelet was worth far more than my emerald necklace. I really needed money, so I stole it and sold it, then ran away!

"Steal! You're saying you stole it!" The reporter was getting excited, this could be a big story, something to really grab the audience's attention!

"Yes!" Lin Meng replied calmly, a layer of frost coloring her delicate face, like a warrior who faced death with indifference. She had said it before, for his sake, she could give up anything.

"Then, what did you do for the CEO of GaoShi Enterprises to make him so grateful!"

I'm sorry, I have nothing to offer!

"Don't tell me you have some deals you can't talk about!"

"Sorry, I still have to be questioned by the police. Can't stay!"

That's it, she pretended to leave!

The reporters swarmed her like wolves, refusing to let her leave. She was alone, unable to withstand that many people, so even though the questions came at her chaotically, buzzing around her head like flies, she just stood there, lips pressed together in silence.

She was surrounded like that for about ten minutes, the flash of cameras going off countless times, before police arrived and dispersed the reporters.

At that time, due to the reporter's tugging, her clothes were in disarray and she looked quite embarrassed. But she laughed, looking at the police who arrived late, thinking they were disgusting like flies!

Lu, the team leader, told her that according to normal judicial procedures, he needed to arrest her and hoped she would cooperate. In reality, it was because he had received hints from someone else. This country, in its military-political circles, wasn't just about the Rong family; there were other powerful figures as well. No matter how society changed, it couldn't erase the power struggles and infighting within officialdom! Rong Ling now showed signs of downfall, so naturally, those who wanted to target her, or even the entire Rong family, would take action!

Beating down the fallen, however, is something that the citizens of this country love to do most and are best at doing!

Lin Meng still smiled, her youthful face radiating an inner strength.

“If you want to arrest me, go ahead and bring a warrant. I’ve made myself clear: Su Xue and I have never had any animosity; on the contrary, we are still good friends. I had no motive to kill her. And my reason for fleeing is perfectly reasonable. You can fully investigate the paperwork for the two pieces of jewelry I sold at Phoenix Jewelry Store, and you can also check with my father to see if he has been financially strained recently. While I currently don’t have an alibi, at most, I am only a suspect. So, none of these reasons justify arresting me. I am willing to cooperate with the investigation and appear whenever summoned, but I hope your department will conduct this case fairly and honestly, without exaggeration or distortion of facts, like those vicious-hearted reporters outside who twist the truth!”

This was probably the sharpest and most resolute thing she had ever said in her life. She sat there, gazing at Captain Lu with her immature yet sickly pale face. Lu Feige inexplicably felt that she was somehow unapproachable. It turned out that even the smallest lamb has a side that fights back.

But, how long can such feeble resistance sustain her!

"I'm sorry, I still have to detain you! You need to know that your case is all over the news now, and there's a lot of pressure from the public. We have to make some kind of statement!"

"Alright!" Her eyes held little warmth, and she scoffed with a hint of provocation. "72 hours is it!!! I'll be waiting to see if you can crack the case within these three days!"

She didn't read that basic law book for nothing!

Lu Dai's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled faintly. He politely said something about offending them, causing someone to take Lin Meng away. But the moment Lin Meng was taken away, the smile on his face suddenly vanished!

This girl looks tough! hand over the extra money to Lin Meng, allowing her to transform it into the company's startup capital. But now, after being messed around by Manager Li, they were left feeling embarrassed and defeat...
