The police saw He Ling repeatedly mentioning the He family, as if trying to use it to suppress the matter.
They all shook their heads helplessly. She still thought the He family would help her, which was why she was being so arrogant here.
Didn't they always say this He Ling was quite shrewd and capable?
Seeing He Ling like this today, she didn't seem to fit the description of shrewd and capable.
If she had any sense, she wouldn't have said such a thing.
Thinking of this, the police looked at He Ling with pity.
Yet, He Ling didn't know what had happened.
He Ling looked around. The environment here was extremely harsh, not a place fit for human habitation.
She wanted to return to the He family and eat the grand meals prepared by the servants. She didn't want to be in this godforsaken place.
What He Ling thought, she also did. One of her shoes fell off, and she walked in a very disheveled manner. However, He Ling couldn't care about that now. She desperately walked towards the exit, as if if she walked any slower, she would be dragged back.
After only a few steps, He Ling was not dragged back. Although this was not a prison, there were many police officers here, surrounding her. The leading police officer sized up He Ling and after a while, asked indifferently, "Ms. He, where are you going?"
He Ling's face turned extremely ugly. She did not answer.
At this moment, Fu Yan Ting appeared. He glanced at He Ling indifferently.
He Ling saw a familiar face after a long time, like she had grasped a lifeline. She grabbed Fu Yan Ting's sleeve and said, "Yan Ting, you know me. How could I possibly break the law? This is all a misunderstanding. Tell these people that I need to go home. Shi Xue is pregnant, and I need to take care of her."
He Ling did not know about Xia Shi Xue's situation. She thought that if she deliberately mentioned Xia Shi Xue's pregnancy to Fu Yan Ting, he would let He Ling go out of consideration for Xia Shi Xue.
He Ling assumed that the Fu family had only male heirs for generations, and Fu Yan Ting cared deeply about Xia Shi Xue's unborn child.
Otherwise, even after Xia Shi Xue had schemed against Fu Yan Ting, Fu Yan Ting would not have come to the police station to bail He Ling out the moment He Ling got into trouble.
In He Ling's opinion, this was clearly Fu Yan Ting's concern for Xia Shi Xue, and she was merely benefiting from her daughter's favor.
He Ling felt incredibly proud. They said daughters are a mother's little padded jackets, and it was true. Who would have thought that her potential imprisonment would be pardoned because of Xia Shi Xue?
Thinking of this, He Ling's lips couldn't stop curving upwards.
Fu Yan Ting glanced at He Ling indifferently. Fu Yan Ting knew exactly what He Ling was thinking. He sneered and said to the police officer behind him, "Take good care of Ms. He."
"No need, Yan Ting. Since you're here, I'll leave with you. I'll tell you secretly, this is not a place for people. It's impossible to survive. The interrogation room inside, the lights are blinding, and the lounge inside is stinking, with no bathing facilities, no flower petals, no toiletries. I've had enough here."
Fu Yan Ting did not speak.
But these police officers looked at He Ling like she was a monster.
This was a police station, a place for interrogating criminals. It was good enough to have food and a place to stay, and she was still putting on airs like a pampered young lady?
Did she think this was a presidential suite at a hotel?
And flower petals, and bathing.
She was quite daring to think and speak.
Fu Yan Ting's lips curved slightly. He looked at He Ling. Although his gaze was as usual, for some reason, it made He Ling feel a chill down her spine.
He Ling felt a vague sense of unease.
Had she said something wrong?
But she had known Fu Yan Ting for so many years, and she knew very well what kind of person Fu Yan Ting was.
The way she spoke to Fu Yan Ting just now was completely treating him as family, after all, the relationship between the He and Fu families had been quite good over the years.
Now, Xia Shi Xue and Fu Yan Ting's relationship had also made substantial progress.
This was excellent for He Ling.
Thinking of this, He Ling's lips curved slightly. She comforted herself, telling herself that the unease she felt was due to the terrible environment here, which was why she lacked a sense of security.
After He Ling finished speaking, she strode towards the exit. Before, the police officers had dared to block her, but now that Fu Yan Ting had arrived, they no longer dared to stop her, waiting for Fu Yan Ting to handle it.
Fu Yan Ting glanced coldly at the police officers and said irritably, "Is this how you watch over criminals? I think you should all retire."
He Ling was quickly stopped by the police officers.
He Ling also sensed that something was wrong.
She stared intently at Fu Yan Ting, and after a long pause, He Ling finally found her voice and asked, "Yan Ting, what did you mean by that just now?"
"It means exactly what you think it means."
Fu Yan Ting replied indifferently.
After speaking, he looked at the police officers behind him and said lightly, "You don't need me to tell you what to do, do you?"
"Boss Fu, please rest assured, we will not disappoint you."
After the police officers finished speaking, they dragged He Ling towards the interrogation room inside.
Even when the bright lights of the interrogation room were turned on, He Ling was still in a daze.
What did those people call Fu Yan Ting just now? Boss Fu?
This meant that they were very familiar with Fu Yan Ting, and they had arrested He Ling.
At this moment, He Ling finally sensed something was amiss.
Looking at the police officer beside her, He Ling asked, "What is your relationship with Fu Yan Ting?"
"You are just a prisoner. It is our time to interrogate you, and it is not your turn to interrogate us here."
One of the police officers retorted rudely.
The police officer next to him was more amiable. He replied, "Fu Yan Ting is our boss. Our Boss Fu made a great contribution in arresting you this time."
"You're so chatty. Why are you saying so much to a prisoner?"
The two police officers bickered here, one after another.
He Ling, however, felt like she had been struck by lightning, her mind buzzing.
So, it was Fu Yan Ting who had ordered her arrest.
Then she remembered what He Yun had said when she questioned him at the He family.
He had said that the backup of the criminal evidence file of He Ling on his phone was sent by Fu Yan Ting.
At that time, He Ling thought it was just an excuse from He Yun to avoid helping her, but now she realized that all of this was orchestrated by Fu Yan Ting behind the scenes.
He Ling's face turned extremely grim, pale as a sheet of white paper.
The lights in the interrogation room were on, and the blinding light shone on He Ling's face. The police officer said indifferently, "Ms. He, you are suspected of tax evasion and fraud, with an amount as high as over a billion. Do you plead guilty?"
