Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 682: Variables



When arriving at the police station, Lin Zhiyi was in a daze.

Her mind was full of the conversation with Gong Chen in the car.

"In the current evidence, there is no direct evidence of Yang Jingwei and Bai Ruoshu's crime."

"How could that be? Bai Zhengxian took away so many computers, how could there be no trace at all?"

"There really isn't."

"What about the testimonies of Fang Sisi and the others?"

"Only in the video. Bai Ruoshu and Yang Jingwei adamantly claim they were unaware of Bai Zhengxian and his son's criminal activities. They always thought Fang Sisi was a hitman hired by Bai Zhengxian."

"..."

This was simply ridiculous.

But ridiculous things were happening.

Because there was no direct evidence, Yang Jingwei called in a team of lawyers and smoothly bailed herself and Bai Ruoshu out.

Other than being unable to leave Jing City, they were just like people who had nothing to do with it.

Lin Zhiyi pulled her thoughts back, pushed the car door open, and got out.

She just happened to run into Yang Jingwei and Bai Ruoshu, who were walking out arm in arm.

The two were surrounded by reporters.

Bai Ruoshu wore sunglasses and hung her head low, looking haggard.

Yet Yang Jingwei was fearless, facing the cameras and crying like a textbook case.

"Don't make things difficult for my daughter. We really knew nothing. They never let us interfere with the Bai family's business."

"As women, if we had known about these transactions, how could we have helped those girls? How could Fang Sisi recognize me as her godmother?"

With one sentence, she deftly shifted the issue onto Fang Sisi, who was both a victim and a perpetrator.

But everyone had long lost trust in Fang Sisi.

Instead, she became the key to Yang Jingwei's exoneration.

Perhaps when she adopted Fang Sisi, it was all for this day.

"If you still have grievances, come at me, don't hurt Ruoshu."

Yang Jingwei's humble yet protective manner actually earned her some sympathy from those unaware of the full story.

Just like that, Yang Jingwei boldly led Bai Ruoshu away from the cameras.

When getting in the car, Yang Jingwei happened to see Lin Zhiyi.

Her eyes lifted lightly, her gaze smiling.

Everything seemed to be telling Lin Zhiyi that a new round of danger was approaching.

And she had no idea.

Watching the car leave, Lin Zhiyi was still immersed in Yang Jingwei's gaze.

"Zhiyi."

Hearing the voice, Lin Zhiyi turned around and saw Chu Yin walking towards her in a hurry.

Behind her was Sang Li.

"You were called here too?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

Chu Yin glanced at the car that had just left and took a few deep breaths to calm herself.

"How could this happen? I heard from Mr. Sang that the current evidence at most proves Bai Ruoshu's plagiarism and Mrs. Bai's suspicion of complicity. What method did she use to let herself and Bai Ruoshu escape unscathed?"

Lin Zhiyi shook her head somewhat helplessly.

"I don't know either."

Gong Chen stepped forward, saying, "Let's go in first, I've already asked Chen Jin to look into the situation abroad."

Lin Zhiyi nodded.

The group avoided the reporters and entered the police station through a side door.

They were received by the captain who was previously in charge of the art exhibition operation.

His surname was Xing.

Captain Xing stepped forward to greet them, "Sorry for asking you to come over again."

Chu Yin, anxious, said, "Captain Xing, why did you release Mrs. Bai and Miss Bai?"

Captain Xing gave a helpless smile and suggested, "Come on, let's sit down and talk. We called you over to see if there's anything we've missed."

Everyone took their seats.

Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen in confusion.

Gong Chen said, "Captain Xing, feel free to speak up."

Captain Xing nodded in agreement.

"Third Young Master, I'll be frank. Bai Zhengxian and Second Master Bai confessed, but they denied that Mrs. Bai and Miss Bai had anything to do with the whole matter."

"Based on the current investigation, indeed, there's no evidence linking Mrs. Bai and Miss Bai to the crime."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi found it hard to sit still.

"Did you check the three laptops President Bai carried with him? How is it possible there's no trace?"

"We did. There are several sets of accounts in them. Mrs. Bai and Miss Bai's names only appear on the official accounts, all of which are legitimate businesses used by the Bai family for cover," Captain Xing explained.

"What about Bai Ruoshu's art gallery? Everything happened in the two floors below the gallery. Bai Ruoshu couldn't have been unaware."

"Bai Zhengxian confessed that he always sent Bai Ruoshu away when doing things. We obtained Bai Ruoshu's travel records abroad, and they confirm this."

Captain Xing laid Bai Ruoshu's itinerary in front of everyone.

Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin immediately picked it up to check.

The records of Bai Ruoshu's entries and exits, along with photos, were there, making it impossible to falsify.

As Lin Zhiyi scanned the flight destinations, she noticed something.

"Every month, on this day, Bai Ruoshu goes to a country that requires more than a day's travel. Can this really be a coincidence? She's clearly creating an alibi."

Chu Yin nodded in agreement.

"Yes, you see her regular itinerary is just to nearby cities, but every time the Bai family harms those girls, she deliberately stays far away. How could she possibly know nothing?"

Captain Xing looked at the two but didn't immediately refute them, only calmly asked, "How do you propose we overturn the evidence?"

Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin exchanged glances, biting their lips in silence.

Without evidence, making claims recklessly.

Would instead give Bai Ruoshu and Yang Jingwei something to use against them.

Lin Zhiyi put down the materials and asked again, "Captain Xing, what about the testimonies of Fang Sisi and the others? Is there no way to prove Mrs. Bai and Bai Ruoshu were involved?"

"Originally there was a way, but not now."

Captain Xing took a big gulp from the thermos cup on the table, his face full of anger.

Lin Zhiyi immediately guessed the reason.

"Because of Fang Sisi?"

Captain Xing slammed down the thermos cup, nodded, and said, "Yes. Mrs. Bai's lawyer insists that Fang Sisi had ulterior motives for approaching Mrs. Bai, even presenting videos of Fang Sisi discussing how to frame her with other girls as evidence."

"Framing videos?" Lin Zhiyi asked, astonished.

Captain Xing pointed to a TV on the wall and played a video.

In the video, Fang Sisi was sitting with other girls.

Fang Sisi advised, "The Bai family's power is too great, we're simply helpless. Staying alive is the most important thing now."

A girl, with tears in her eyes, said, "No, I would rather die than let go of that mother and daughter! With so much public opinion now, as long as we blame everything on them, the spittle will drown them."

"Yes! We will together pin everything that happened on them so that they taste the feeling of being condemned."

"Then... what do you plan to do?" Fang Sisi lowered her eyelids, her expression indiscernible.

"We can each talk about one thing. As long as we say enough, people will definitely believe us, after all, we're the victims."

"Alright! That's what we'll do!"

The group held hands confidently, even with smiles on their faces.

The video ended.

The office fell into a strange silence.

With a bang, Chu Yin suddenly stood up, knocking over the chair.

"Fang Sisi did it on purpose!"
