Chapter 289 - Ye Zhen is the one wrongfully usurping her older sister's place! (2)

The deposition took over an hour to complete. Ye Zhen thoroughly accounted for everything that she knew. She didn't leave out any details, including the buyout of her relationship with the Ye's for 30 million yuan as well as Ye Zhenting's debt to the loan sharks due to his gambling.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Mrs. Lu. Rest assured, we'll definitely investigate this matter to the end."

Ye Zhen smiled in response. Just as she was about to leave the police station, she heard clamoring from a distance. The noise came from the spot where they had been besieged by reporters when they entered the police station. It was just that it was now Ye Qing and Mother Ye, who were surrounded by the reporters.

That made sense. Such a big thing had happened with Ye Zhenting. Ye Qing and Mother Ye couldn't continue to pretend they didn't know what was happening.

After finally making her way through the throng of reporters and entering the police station, Mother Ye saw Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen. She couldn't be bothered to care about other things. She walked over to them in a few steps and asked, "Zhenzhen, what happened? I heard them saying your dad kidnapped you."

Ye Zhen nodded. "I just finished giving my deposition. I said everything that should be said."

"That's impossible!" Mother Ye immediately refuted. "Zhenzhen, listen to me. You must have misunderstood. Although your dad isn't reliable, he knows the seriousness of this type of matter. He definitely wouldn't do something illegal. Is there a misunderstanding between you and him?"

A nearby officer quietly said, "This is the police station. Keep your voice down!"

Lu Beichuan said in a quiet voice, "Mrs. Ye, you can ask the police if you have any questions. My wife has no obligation to answer you."

"Beichuan, did Zhenzhen's dad ask you for money?" Mother Ye entreated, "Beichuan, don't misunderstand. He was in a crisis, so he was desperately grasping at any straw. He owed 40 million yuan to loan sharks. He must have lost his head in desperation at the time. That's why he went to you. We're a family. How can it be considered extortion?"

Lu Beichuan stood in front of Ye Zhen, blocking Mother Ye. He coldly said to Mother Ye, "Mrs. Ye, “Please get it through your head that regardless of the relationship between kidnapper and kidnappee, what happened was undoubtedly kidnapping and extortion."

"Undoubtedly? Zhenting just wanted to find his daughter to drink tea and have a chat. How did that become kidnapping?" Having gone through an upheaval during this period of time, Mother Ye had aged a lot. She was in low spirits and haggard. The dark circles and bags under her eyes couldn't be concealed.

Too much had happened during this time.

The investment had failed, the family company had been acquired, and Ye Zhenting had become addicted to gambling and wasted the 30 million yuan that Mrs. Lu had used to buy out Ye Zhen's relationship with the Ye's. There was still a debt to the loan sharks.

The various things that had led to the Ye's decline with each passing day had mentally and physically exhausted Mother Ye.

Mother Ye had almost fainted when she heard that Ye Zhenting was in jail for kidnapping and extortion.

Ye Zhenting was the pillar of the family. How would she survive if Ye Zhenting was convicted and remained in prison?

Moreover, Ye Zhenting still owed the loan sharks 40 million yuan. Even if she sold their mansion and other items, that wouldn't be enough to pool together 40 million yuan!

She looked at Ye Zhen with tears in her eyes. "Zhenzhen, I know that you hate me, but your dad has never wronged you. Why do you have to push him to a dead end?!"

Mother Ye's criticism made it sound as if Ye Zhen had done something that deserved the condemnation of all.

Ye Qing hastily went forward to support Mother Ye by the arm. She raised her head to look at Ye Zhen, who was sheltered behind Lu Beichuan. A complicated expression passed over her face. It was mostly resentment. How could she not resent Ye Zhen?

They clearly had the same face, but they went on sharply differing paths. Ye Zhen didn't have to do anything; she had Lu Beichuan to solve all of her problems for her. In contrast, she had meticulously planned for herself. Despite that, she had fallen to such a state.

Everything that was meant to be hers - the perfect romance, career, and family - it was all ruined.
