Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Thank You, Uncle

Chapter 17 -17 Thank You, Uncle

Lin Zhiyi calmed herself down and approached the only policewoman she could trust.

“Could you please…”

“Mmm, okay.” The policewoman nodded.

After explaining everything, Lin Zhiyi finally felt relieved.

To avoid putting the policewoman in a difficult position, she took a deep breath and said, “I’ve said everything I need to, I won’t make you offend anyone. Just deal with me as you see fit.”

The policewoman was kind to Lin Zhiyi, and she would feel bad if her actions had offended Gong Chen, so she obediently raised her handcuffed hands.

The policewoman hesitated, then chuckled, “Actually…”

She started to speak, but then didn’t continue for a long time.

Then she said meaningfully, “Don’t you think that staying here is actually the safest?”

“Safe?” Lin Zhiyi was a bit confused but still nodded, “Thank you.”

The policewoman seemed to want to say more, but finally shook her head and said nothing, releasing Lin Zhiyi’s handcuffs before leaving the room.

Somehow, this incident had spread online, and during an interview, Song Wanqiu had tears in her eyes, emphasizing that Lin Zhiyi had nothing to do with the incident, yet her expression was filled with restraint and grievance, even accidentally revealing her injured arm.

After announcing her relationship with Gong Chen, she gained many followers online with her reputation as a talented jewelry designer.

The interview, once posted, caused some fervent fans to guard the school, swearing to teach Lin Zhiyi a lesson.

After hearing about it, Lin Zhiyi finally understood what the policewoman meant by safety.

If she were caught alone by these fans, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The situation had escalated overnight to a point of no return; even the Zhao Cheng incident had been spread online.

However, in the narrative circulating, Zhao Cheng had become the victim.

Lin Zhiyi was portrayed as a jealous woman who harmed her classmate and insinuated she would sleep with him then backed out.

Even without access to the internet, she could guess the storm online from bits and pieces of the police conversations.

Lin Zhiyi remained silent, just quietly sitting and waiting…

Until a sharply dressed man appeared; he was the chief lawyer of the Gong Family. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

“Lawyer Wang, hello,” Lin Zhiyi greeted him politely.

Hearing this, Lawyer Wang paused, surprised by Lin Zhiyi’s composure.

Lawyer Wang was not familiar with Lin Zhiyi, but she was very familiar with him.

In her previous life, he had helped Gong Chen legally trap her in a corner, forcing her to bear all the slander without the ability to refute.

Now that such a major incident had occurred, it was time for Lawyer Wang to step in.

Lawyer Wang withdrew his gaze and said seriously, “Miss Lin, you have been bailed out, and I am here to take you away.”

Lin Zhiyi remained unmoved and said lightly, “And then? Lawyer Wang, there’s no need to speak in halves.”

Lawyer Wang’s hand paused while signing the documents, then he stared at Lin Zhiyi for a long time.

After a moment, he put away his pen and directly pulled out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Lin Zhiyi.

“There is a press conference in one hour. Here’s your speech. You just need to read it as is.”

Lin Zhiyi took the document, and the first page was her confession about how she had harmed Song Wanqiu and how she had cheated and injured Zhao Cheng.

The rest was all about her apologizing for her wrongdoing.

At first glance, it was an apology, but it was actually a confession of guilt, also requiring her to declare that all actions were her own and unrelated to the Gong Family.

Lawyer Wang stood with his hands behind his back, quite intimidating, “Miss Lin, you instigated others to harm Miss Song. Even if you didn’t do it yourself, you would still go to jail. Whether you care or not, you should also think about your mother and Second Young Master.”

“You just need to make a public apology, Miss Song will sign the settlement, and you will be safe.”

“As for the Zhao Family, as long as you confess, the Zhao Family will not pursue other responsibilities, essentially absolving you of your responsibilities and adding to the contract with Second Young Master.”

“Miss Lin, as a lawyer, I must responsibly tell you, this is the best outcome for you.”

Lawyer Wang spoke lightly, seeming sure that a woman like Lin Zhiyi, who had no one to rely on, could only accept her fate.
