Xia Wan smiled and explained patiently, “According to the information I’ve received, Xia Ru has yet to return home. Lu Lin has also been taken away after Old Master Lu’s phone call. Li Jin has seen Lu Lin’s family background, so she naturally wouldn’t give up on this marriage.
“She could take the token to the Lu family—if the Lu family doesn’t acknowledge this marriage, then they would just give up. But now that they didn’t get the token, they don’t even have the basis to reason with the Lu family. How could they be willing to accept this?”
“Xia Ye’s family won’t be satisfied if Xia Ru isn’t around. They’ll think that she must have seduced Lu Lin. If Xia Ye wants to marry Lu Lin before Xia Ru, she must get the token.
“If I were Li Jin, I wouldn’t be able to sleep until I get my hands on the token. Unsurprisingly, they broke into the villa.”
At first, everyone was surprised that Li Jin and her team had broken into the villa, but after listening to Xia Wan’s a.n.a.lysis, they felt it made sense.
“My sister is still the smartest. In the future, I have to think more from the other party’s point of view,” Xia Feng concluded. Xia Chen smiled. “My sister is the smartest.”
Xia Chen smiled. “My sister is the smartest.”
Yan Han complimented Xia Hai as well. Xia Hai was the only one with a heavy heart. A complicated expression rose on his face.
Xia Wan looked at him. “Dad, you don’t have the heart to do it, do you? Do you want Grandma and the others to come out?”
Xia Hai looked a little conflicted and distressed. “Your grandma is getting on in years. If she stays in prison, she won’t be able to eat or sleep well.”
Hearing Xia Hai’s words, Xia Wan’s eyes were filled with disappointment. Li Jin had already treated them like this, yet her father still cared about her.
Then, she heard Xia Hai suddenly turn around and say in a firm tone, “But this time, Mother and the others have gone too far. Let this be a lesson to them, so they might understand the importance of law-abidance. Even if we are her family, the bottom line of the law can’t be crossed by just anyone.”
Xia Hai spoke seriously in a tone that upheld justice. However, Xia Wan knew that Xia Hai was afraid that Li Jin and the others would come looking for trouble again if they were released.
It could be said that between Li Jin and Xia Wan, Xia Hai had chosen to stand on Xia Wan’s side.
Xia Wan was deeply touched. Her father, who used to be so foolishly filial, seemed to have really changed.
Li Jin was still struggling in the police station. “What right do you have to arrest me? I went to look for my son in the middle of the night. What law have I broken? I want to see my son. Where’s Xia Hai? How dare you arrest your mother? You unfilial b*stard!”
The police knocked on the table and warned, “Shut up. If you make any more noise, we’ll teach you the rules!”
Li Jin was a little scared. “You! What are you doing? Are you going to hit me? I’m warning you, if you dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll make a scene in front of your station every day when I get out. I’ll make everyone condemn you!”
The police officer smirked coldly. “You dare to threaten a government official?
You’re very bold.”
Li Jin realized that no matter what she said, it was useless in front of the police. However, she remained adamant and refused to confess, now saying that it was Song Yan’s idea that they went to Xia Wan’s house. Also, she didn’t jump in at all, so it didn’t count.
After receiving Li Jin’s testimony, someone went to question Song Yan.
“Song Yan, someone has already ratted you out. They said that you’re the mastermind behind this.”
Song Yan immediately exploded. “What do you mean I’m the mastermind? Everyone agreed to go to Xia Wan’s house to get the token. If I were the mastermind, I would have just brought Xia Jiang there. Why would I bring so many people?
“Since we all acted together, then everyone has a responsibility. Why are you pushing all the blame on me now? You were all more active than the others when you climbed the wall!”
The more Song Yan spoke, the more agitated she became. She felt that Chen Lian’s family must have ratted her out.
Song Yan snorted coldly in her heart. She secretly thought that Chen Lian’s family was shameless. They clearly wanted to take the token and marry Lu Lin, but now they were pushing all the responsibility onto her.
Song Yan’s eyes flickered, and she said to the police officer, “If you have to ask who came up with this idea, then I’ll tell you the truth. This was Chen Lian’s idea. She wanted her daughter, Xia Ye, to marry Lu Lin with the token. My Xia
Ru didn’t partic.i.p.ate in this incident, so I can only be considered an accessory..
