Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 761 - 678: Let Nature Take Its Course

Bai Shasha glanced at the people sitting on each side, her eyes flashing with understanding, and glared fiercely at Ye Duowei.

"May we leave now?"

The police officer looked at Li Si and the others and said, "The statement has been completed. You can leave for now. If there are any further questions, we will contact you again."

"Alright!" Li Si responded, "Then we’ll be leaving! We’ll continue to follow any updates on the case."

"Okay!"

Bai Shasha linked arms with Li Si, who was holding onto Leng Mochen’s arm. Leng Mo walked behind them, and Yin Xian glanced around. Ignoring Ye Duowei’s pleading look, he followed along.

Mrs. Tian Sr. and Ye Duowei grew anxious as they saw Li Si and the others being allowed to leave.

Mrs. Tian Sr. gritted her teeth and stood up, "Officer, we are Tian Yaru’s family, and we want to clarify some things."

Li Si turned back to glance at the Tian Family speaking to the police, a sarcastic smile tugging at her lips.

This time, Tian Yaru can only leave it up to fate!

At that moment, Tian Yaru was sitting alone in the interrogation room with handcuffs on, seated on a bench. Across from her were a male and a female police officer.

"Explain! Why did you throw sulfuric acid at Li Si? Your family is outside now. If you keep refusing to cooperate and fail to help us clarify the incident, it won’t do you any good!"

Since being detained, Tian Yaru had kept her head bowed and remained utterly silent, refusing to cooperate.

Only when the interrogators mentioned that her family had arrived did her demeanor change slightly.

Family?!

Are Mom and Dad here? Did Tian Yaruo come too?

If they meet Li Si, they will surely try to persuade her to withdraw the case; by then, she...

No matter how much Tian Yaruo and her parents beg, she doesn’t believe that Li Si would go so far as to utterly destroy her!

Thinking about it, even if she had done such a thing, so what? Ultimately, Li Si wasn’t seriously hurt, so there would be no way she could do much to punish her!

Tian Yaru’s lips curled faintly with satisfaction, "I want to see my lawyer! You can talk to my lawyer! I also want to see my sister! Arrange a meeting for us—I have something to say to her!"

The interrogator slammed the table hard and said coldly, "Tian Yaru! This is not the time for you to decide who you want to meet! You still don’t understand the gravity of your crime!

The sulfuric acid attack is a serious crime. Don’t think you can get away scot-free just because there weren’t any significant casualties."

Tian Yaru widened her eyes in disbelief and stiffened her neck, "Why are you deeming it a serious crime? Li Si wasn’t even injured; only her bodyguard’s hand got a little hurt! At best, it’s a minor injury—I’ll compensate them double for the medical expenses, alright?

Besides, we’re relatives! At most, it’s just some personal grievances! If she decides not to press charges and we reconcile, wouldn’t that solve everything?"

The interrogator was thoroughly exasperated by her remarks, "Even if you have a familial connection, why should they reconcile with you? Do you think this kind of situation can still be privately resolved?

You carried out an extremely dangerous act in a crowded place—this is no longer an ordinary case. Although it seems like you didn’t cause major harm, you are still suspected of intentional harm.

According to the injury assessment, causing minor injury alone is enough to hold you criminally liable, along with civil compensation responsibilities.

You could face up to three years of imprisonment, detention, or surveillance."

For the first time, fear crept into Tian Yaru’s eyes. She knew her medical condition well: if she underwent surgery, she might live a few more years.

But as a woman, losing one symbolic part of her body was something she couldn’t accept.

She couldn’t face that version of herself, which is why she had been staunchly rejecting the treatment proposal all along.

Out of impulsiveness, she had planned the sulfuric acid attack on Li Si—it was driven by a desire to destroy her. After all, if she didn’t have much time left...

But now, as she gradually calmed down and listened to what the police said, her heart trembled.

"You’re lying! Ah! I know, you’re trying to scare me, aren’t you? Let me tell you—I won’t believe any of this. They weren’t injured at all, so there’s no injury report. Why should I serve at least three years? I won’t accept this! Ridiculous!

And I’m terminally ill! I’m physically unwell right now—I need to go to the hospital!"

"Bang!"

The officer slammed a folder heavily on the table, startling Tian Yaru, "Quiet! Stop yelling!"

...

As they exited the police station, Bai Shasha held Li Si’s hand and quickly apologized, "Li Si, it’s all my fault! If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have gone to that café—and none of this would have happened!"

Li Si turned her head and gave her a sharp look, "What are you talking about? Did you invite her too? Enough of that; as long as we’re fine, that’s all that matters!"

"Yes! That’s all that matters! By the way, have you reached Xu Er yet?" Bai Shasha had been distracted by this question the entire time during the statement.

Li Si shook her head, "Not yet! But at this hour, he should’ve driven back from Hebei by now. Has he called you?"

Bai Shasha shook her head in frustration, "No, he hasn’t!"

"This is really strange!"

Leng Mo suddenly stopped and looked at Leng Mochen and Li Si, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first—I still have work to do at the office."

Li Si glanced at the time—it was already past 3 in the afternoon—and quickly said, "It’s getting late. Why don’t you join me for dinner before heading back?"

Leng Mo smiled faintly and shook her head, "No, I’ll pass—maybe another time!"

"Alright then! Let me at least drive you back?"

"Second Sister-in-law, no need to bother—I’ll just grab a cab—it’ll be quick."

"Uh, fine!" Li Si genuinely appreciated Leng Mo’s actions today and wanted to use the chance to foster closer ties.

After all, outwardly, they were family.

"Goodbye!" Leng Mo said before turning toward the door.

Yin Xian nodded goodbye to the others and quickly caught up with Leng Mo, "I’ll go with you."

Leng Mo glanced at Yin Xian but didn’t refuse.

Li Si watched their backs, her thoughts racing. Perhaps this incident would lead to Leng Mo not breaking up with Yin Xian after all?

But recalling Yin Xian’s earlier remarks, she felt a spark of anger rising.

Leng Mochen noticed how intently Li Si was looking at Yin Xian and Leng Mo and cleared his throat in slight frustration, "Where to?"

When it came to Yin Xian, he couldn’t help but feel a deep dislike.

Li Si snapped out of it and gave Leng Mochen a sidelong look—his jealousy was unmistakable.

She turned to ask Bai Shasha, who was still dialing numbers, "Shasha, what do you think?"

Bai Shasha pursed her lips helplessly, "Anywhere is fine. What is Xu Er even up to? His phone never goes through!"

"Alright, let’s get in the car first."

Just then, Bai Shasha’s phone began to ring.

Li Si asked, "Is it Xu Er?"

Bai Shasha glanced at the caller ID, "It’s an unknown number!" But she quickly answered, "Hello?!"

On the other end of the line came Xu Er’s voice, "Honey! Where are you? How did things turn out? Is our baby healthy? I’ve been driving back from Hebei like crazy and accidentally lost my phone. I’m borrowing someone else’s to call..."

Bai Shasha silently listened and finally sighed in resignation, "Darling! Calm down and listen carefully. Stand straight and steady your nerves!

I... I went for the check-up, and the doctor said I’m not pregnant. The doctor said my delayed period was likely caused by hormonal imbalance—from being overly busy and stressed—and not pregnancy..."
