Chapter 254: Chapter 251: So This Is the Purpose You Made Me Pursue? (Double-Length Chapter)

Ah Ying’s face was unnatural. Her older brother hadn’t returned home for over ten years, certainly attracting a lot of criticisms, ranging from rumors that he had fled elsewhere after incurring massive gambling debts, to accidentally killing someone and fearing arrest by the police. There was even a more outrageous one: claiming he was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme.

When she was young, she fought a lot with outsiders because of these rumors. Since she had a fierce temperament, these gossip gradually lessened, but she knew people now talked behind her back.

She didn’t expect that the topic had started talking about her daughter.

Ah Ying was furious, but even more angry that Feng Dajun was questioning her brother’s identity because of such gossip?

Ah Ying felt somewhat wounded but maintained a strong front, "Feng Dajun, I can’t control what people say, just let Niuniu play less with them in the future."

"But Ah Ying, there’s no smoke without fire. Don’t you doubt your parents’ words?"

"Feng Dajun, my brother hasn’t come back for over ten years, but he sends money home every month, the old couple’s living expenses, the house, the car. From where hasn’t my brother contributed money? You, Feng Dajun, live in a house my brother built, eat the food my brother bought, and now you question my brother’s credibility? Do you have any shame left?"

Ah Ying erupted with anger, pointing at Feng Dajun’s nose and scolding him.

Feng Dajun quickly comforted her, "Alright, alright, I said the wrong thing. Don’t be angry..."

While apologizing verbally, Feng Dajun’s fingers slowly tightened around the steering wheel, and his gaze on the road ahead grew colder.

The couple stopped discussing the topic, but at the back of the car, the conversation just began.

Ye Tong had already learned from Huang Ying about the commotion her stepmother caused at the police station, and apologized to Xiao Kong, "Sorry for the trouble."

Xiao Kong felt a bit nervous, his ears turning dark red, quickly gesturing, "No...it’s no trouble..."

Since becoming a superpower user, he hadn’t spoken so closely with ordinary people for years, especially with such a beautiful girl that he didn’t know what to say.

Luckily, Ji Ning diverted the topic, "According to the investigation, Ye Dahe’s son is indeed his biological child, meaning you are half-siblings. Additionally, their family’s main source of income comes from Ye Dahe’s work outside. If you testify to imprison Ye Dahe, your stepmother and brother will have no source of income..."

As he spoke, Ji Ning glanced at the rearview mirror.

Ye Tong’s face was grave, filled with struggle in her eyes, but finally calmed down, "So what, I only know that if you commit a crime, you should receive the punishment. Everyone’s pitiful, isn’t everyone somewhat pitiful?"

Why on earth could they live comfortably with money they gained by selling her?

If she hadn’t escaped?

Who would pity her?

Ye Dahe, she would never forgive him for the rest of her life!

Ji Ning’s eyes showed satisfaction and glanced at Xiao Kong beside him.

Xiao Kong immediately replied, "Don’t worry, Miss Ye, the crime of human trafficking against Ye Dahe is already backed by solid evidence. You’re just going over for questioning, taking down a statement."

Ye Tong nodded slightly and said, "I don’t want to meet that mother and son."

"Alright, I’ll make arrangements."

Ye Tong subsequently saw Ye Dahe, who was detained in the detention center, under secret arrangements.

Ye Dahe didn’t dare acknowledge her initially, until hearing Ye Tong’s familiar voice, he then pleaded desperately for her help, but was coldly rejected.

Enraged, Ye Dahe started viciously cursing, threatening Ye Tong, but she remained unfazed, looking at him with a calm face, and her gaze of indifference and disdain only made Ye Dahe increasingly furious until the police arrived to forcibly take him away.

He probably wouldn’t understand to his dying moment why the person who once obeyed his words and feared his fists and insults would look at him in such a way.

"Miss Ye, thank you for your cooperation, please follow this way." The police officer hosting her was very polite, leading her away from the interrogation room to the second-floor rest area.

At this time, Ji Ning, Xiao Kong, and Huang Ying were waiting for her on the second floor. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

They didn’t reveal their identities but came under the guise of being Ye Tong’s manager and assistants.

Though Ye Tong didn’t have a huge reputation, she was an actress, after all, one who even made it to hot searches.

Quite a few at the police station were curious about her but seeing she had such a father, they were very sympathetic towards her.

Suddenly, Ye Tong’s persona evolved into one more resilient and optimistic.

The four were just about to leave when a stern-faced police officer in uniform led a team to block them.

Xiao Kong furrowed his brows, reflexively shielding Ji Ning.

The leading officer raised his credentials to the four and formally said, "Yesterday, we received a report from the public that Zhang Xiaofen was strangled to death in a rental room. Based on the testimony from her son and people living nearby, the person Zhang Xiaofen interacted with before her death was a woman around 20 years old. That person claimed to be Zhang Xiaofen’s stepdaughter, Ye Tong. Could you tell us who Ye Tong is?"
