Chapter 920: What Does It Matter?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yue Yu was very angry and said, “You want me to cooperate with the investigation without evidence? This is a press conference for the new company and new shop. Do you know that this will affect my career greatly?”
“Please cooperate.” The cop was all business.
“If you have evidence, I’ll cooperate immediately. If not, you can listen in. Or, get out immediately!” Yue Yu valued her career very much. How could she tolerate someone questioning her for no reason?
When the police saw her like this, they became even more serious. “The police report we received said that a batch of your tea leaves was suspected of copying other people’s tea leaves, causing many people to have physical problems, so you have to cooperate with us to go back and investigate. It’s still only some physical injuries. If a life is lost, no one can bear the responsibility!”
“Forget it, Xiao Yu!” Li Peiwen saw that Yueyu wanted to continue. It was not wise to oppose the police on such an occasion.
!!
Yue Yu was helpless and angry. “Alright, I’ll cooperate with your investigation! If I’m not wrong, I hope you won’t forget to restore my reputation and apologize to me!”
After Yue Yu was taken away, Li Peiwen quickly said to everyone, “This is Yue Yu’s first time doing business, so it’s inevitable that there might be compet.i.tors seeking to ruin her. Now that there’s a problem, she’s just cooperating with the investigation. Don’t panic, everyone. Let’s continue with the press conference. If anyone has any questions, you can ask me.”
For a moment, everyone’s question was, “How did that happen? Was there really something wrong with the tea leaves?”
“So what does Yue Yu’s tea leaves have to do with s.h.i.+ Jin?”
“Didn’t they just say that these tea leaves have nothing to do with s.h.i.+ Jin!”
“Peiwen, Yue Yu isn’t here. You have to give us an explanation!”
Li Peiwen quickly found connections in private and went to ask about the police. She realized that the matter seemed to be more serious than she had imagined.
Several groups of people had drunk this tea and something had happened. They had all called the police.
She immediately called Yue Yu again.
At this moment, Yue Yu had arrived at the police station.
She quickly found a friend to ask about her situation.
Her friend told Yue Yu what she had learned and told her that the current situation could either be light or serious. If it were serious, it would be difficult to escape unscathed.
Yue Yu also began to understand the seriousness of the matter. She heard that the chemicals in her tea leaves had exceeded the limit, and there was also a problem with the essence.
It was precisely because of these problems that these people had various physical conditions after drinking it. Moreover, such situations were very common.
She looked down in thought, thinking of her friend’s words.
If this business continued, it would continue to incur losses and bear a huge price, but she was reluctant to let go completely…
Was there something wrong with her tea leaves, or was there something wrong with s.h.i.+ Jin’s tea leaves?
Li Peiwen called.
“Xiao Yu, what’s the situation now? The situation on my side is very chaotic. Everyone is asking for an explanation. I’m afraid it will be very difficult to stabilize these people’s emotions.” Peiwen sounded anxious.
“Peiwen, you know what to do,” Yue said eventually.
Li Peiwen said, “So you’re just going to give up this business? All your hard work for nothing?”
“There are still other things after giving this up.”
Li Peiwen hung up.
She was already surrounded by people demanding an explanation.
Many rich and powerful ladies were usually very elegant, but when it came to health, no one cared about maintaining their dignity.
Faced with these people’s questions, Li Peiwen said, “These tea leaves came from s.h.i.+ Jin, and s.h.i.+ Jin personally brewed them. I need to confirm with s.h.i.+ Jin before I can give everyone an explanation.”
“What? s.h.i.+ Jin?”
“Didn’t you say that it had nothing to do with s.h.i.+ Jin?”
“Could s.h.i.+ Jin have done all of this?”
Li Peiwen said loudly, “These tea leaves have always belonged to s.h.i.+ Jin. Xiao Yu and I were only helping her to gain popularity. Why would Xiao Yu come to do such a business?”
These words were completely contradictory, completely different from what everyone had said before.
Who couldn’t guess the truth?
However, on second thought, if this matter was really done by Yue Yu, with her status, what benefits could anyone gain from seeking trouble with her?
If s.h.i.+ Jin did it, everyone could ask her for an explanation.
After all, one was the biological daughter and the other was the G.o.ddaughter. There was a huge difference.
Seeing everyone seemed to have believed her words on the surface, Li Peiwen was relieved. In any case, it was best to quickly push the blame away. “That’s right, so s.h.i.+ Jin will have to cooperate with the investigation on this matter. Or perhaps, she’s already cooperating with the investigation at the police station. Everyone, don’t believe in the brainwas.h.i.+ng casually. Let’s wait for s.h.i.+ Jin to give everyone an explanation.”
Her priority was to preserve Yue Yu’s reputation.
***
Yue Lanchen hurried into the mall.
Not long after s.h.i.+ Jin left, he heard that Yue Yu had set up an event in the mall here to sell tea leaves.
Worried about Yue Yu, he hurried over.
When he had rushed over, he had heard that Yue Yu had been taken away to cooperate with the investigation. He had been about to leave to find his parents to find a solution to the problem.
Unexpectedly, he heard Li Peiwen spouting nonsense.
“Li Peiwen!” Yue Lanchen shouted.
Li Peiwen was delighted to hear his voice. It would be even better if Yue Lanchen was here. She expected that between s.h.i.+ Jin and Yue Yu, he would also choose to help Yue Yu.
“Lanchen, you came at the right time. Come and tell everyone that s.h.i.+ Jin actually made all the tea leaves this time. It has nothing to do with Yue Yu. Yue Yu only helped her this time because she considered her as her friend and family.”
Yue Lanchen understood what she meant and asked, “Is this your idea or my biological sister’s?”
“Both of us, of course,” Li Peiwen said in a low voice. “Yue Yu has gone to cooperate with the investigation. Her reputation will be affected if word gets out. The priority now is to protect her reputation as quickly as possible. You don’t have to say anything else. Just cooperate with me.”
Yue Lanchen sneered. There was no time to figure out if this was Yue Yu’s true thoughts or Li Peiwen’s.
He said, “Sure.”
Seeing that she had convinced him, Li Peiwen relaxed a lot.
“Everyone, what I want to tell you is that s.h.i.+ Jin has indeed personally brewed a lot of tea leaves. She has given many close friends and family gifts previously. Our family has always been drinking her tea leaves,” Yue Lanchen said loudly.
