Chapter 461
Lin Sisi's eyes widened. She turned her head abruptly, and the moment she saw Liu Dongdong, her breath hitched.Zhang Cuimei also looked over in astonishment.
"Dongdong? Didn't you go back to your hometown?"
"What's going on here?" Zhang Cuimei asked in disbelief.
Liu Dongdong greeted her, "Auntie Zhang, long time no see."
Zhang Cuimei's expression was a bit strange. Previously, Liu Dongdong had been doing a great job working for them, and she had really liked the girl. But after her daughter returned, some unpleasant things happened. When her daughter told Liu Dongdong to leave, Zhang Cuimei hadn't said anything to help her.
Seeing her again now, her eyes held a hint of guilt.
"Repeat that again, why did Lin Sisi look for you?"
Captain Li interrupted the two of them calmly.
Lin Sisi looked at Liu Dongdong in panic, almost forgetting to breathe.
Hadn't they agreed? She was supposed to find a place to hide immediately, not show up, and leave the city as soon as she got the money.
Was she tricked?
At the thought of this possibility, Lin Sisi's face instantly turned deathly pale.
However, realizing she had been deceived now was already too late.
Liu Dongdong said, "I don't want to lie for her this time. Previously, because she helped me, I agreed to testify that she didn't steal that three thousand yuan. I considered her a friend at the time and didn't expect her to be that kind of person. Who knew it would end up harming me, making me unable to hold my head high when I returned to my village, and even causing my family to be ridiculed..."
"My trust and defense of her have harmed so many people. This time, the Lin family was hurt like this because of it, and my heart aches deeply. I originally wanted to persuade Sisi to tell the truth, but I didn't expect her to ask me to lie for her again this time."
"I'm sorry, Sisi, I can't do it. I don't want to hurt people anymore."
"I never asked you for two thousand yuan, yet you deliberately told me to hide and not come forward to explain, letting everyone misunderstand the Lin family. I don't understand why you wanted me to tell this lie to help you, but what you're doing is wrong."
Liu Dongdong condemned her with a look of disappointment.
Hearing these words, Lin Sisi was instantly dumbfounded.
"So you two never actually bumped into each other at the hospital, right?" Captain Li said.
Liu Dongdong nodded. "That's right, I never ran into Lin Sisi at all."
"Since Lin Sisi didn't go to the hospital to look for you and happen to run into the car accident, but was lying, then why did she arrive at the hospital the very moment the accident happened, and even had the money for the surgery prepared in advance?"
Captain Li murmured, "Could it be that you knew in advance that Brother Lin would have an accident, so you were staking out the place to offer help?"
"We checked. You had classes that day, but you took time off early and went back."
"The reason you gave for your leave was that a family member was injured..."
"Lin Sisi, you really have the gift of foresight."
Si Nian narrowed her eyes. She had originally just been guessing.
But hearing Captain Li mention this, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
She asked, "Did Lin Sisi lose that three thousand yuan a few months ago?"
Zhang Cuimei snapped out of her daze. "How did you know?"
Si Nian sneered. "Of course I know. At that time, Lin Sisi traveled all the way to Beijing to solve a case. She suddenly led a bunch of police officers to the vicinity of my house, claiming someone had committed murder and hidden a corpse there. Later, because they couldn't find a body, she sneaked away."
"Although I don't quite understand why she went all the way to Beijing, it probably wasn't just to solve a case, right? With that three thousand yuan, she couldn't possibly have spent nothing on her trip to Beijing, so how could it have fallen into my parents' hands?"
Zhang Cuimei was dumbfounded. She had thought her daughter's claim about doing business was just a lie to get money to subsidize the Lin family.
So when Lin Sisi said the money was stolen, she hadn't believed it at all.
But to her surprise, she really went to Beijing?
Because she spent all the money and failed to do business, she lied about it being stolen?
"In other words, the first time her three thousand yuan didn't go to my parents, and the second time it didn't either. Then on what grounds did your Si family hire people to beat up my parents?"
Si Nian's eyes turned cold.
Zhang Cuimei immediately panicked. Realizing she might really have no more excuses, she had to look to her husband for help.
Unexpectedly, her husband suddenly spoke up, "I disagreed with you doing this at the time. You insisted on helping Sisi teach them a lesson."
He sighed. "Since both the witnesses and material evidence are here, we have nothing more to say. Punish us however we should be punished."
"What?" Zhang Cuimei was stunned. "What are you saying? Are you crazy?"
Suddenly realizing something, her eyes snapped wide open. "You!"
Si's Father interrupted her, "I only knew you said you wanted to warn the Lin family, which is why I didn't stop you. I had no idea you would hire people to beat them up like this. You have truly disappointed me."
Zhang Cuimei's breathing grew rapid, her chest heaving violently. She pointed at his nose. "It... it was clearly you who hired those people."
"What are you talking about? You took the money and hired people to do the deed. What does that have to do with me? I never knew you had such a cruel heart!"
Si's Father scolded.
"Now that we're at the end of the line, are you still trying to shirk responsibility?"
Si Nian watched this family with amusement as they pushed the blame back and forth.
"It seems there's nothing left for us to do. We'll just leave it to however the court decides."
She couldn't even be bothered to deal with this hypocritical family anymore.
Instead, she cast a thoughtful glance at Liu Dongdong and Si's Father.
Come to think of it, there was something off about this matter. It was too easy.
It was as if Zhang Cuimei was deliberately called over, and then the other party acted to let the police find out.
The same went for Liu Dongdong, who had suddenly appeared.
It felt like it had been orchestrated by someone.
But obviously, the beneficiaries this time were neither them nor Lin Sisi.
It was Si's Father and Liu Dongdong.
It was just very strange. How did these two completely unrelated people suddenly and tacitly end up working together?
Si Nian felt very weirded out.
Next.
Because Lin Sisi might be the mastermind behind orchestrating the car crash, she was detained as a key suspect.
Meanwhile, Zhang Cuimei was also detained awaiting sentencing on suspicion of intentional injury.
Because Si's Father was unaware, and those thugs also insisted that Zhang Cuimei was the one giving orders, he was simply questioned about the details and then released.
Both Zhang Cuimei and her daughter Lin Sisi ended up in the police station.
Si's Father did not choose to help the two of them.
Instead, at this time, he righteously filed a divorce report with his superiors. Because Zhang Cuimei's situation was extremely severe, he didn't have to worry much about the divorce going through.
The Fu family also heard about Lin Sisi's matter. This time, they absolutely could not tolerate it and directly took charge, having their son and Lin Sisi—a married couple in name only—get divorced.
A few days passed, and Zhou Yueshen went back first.
Si Nian stayed home to help, afraid that Si's Father would stir up trouble again.
