My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.

Wen Shiyan stopped and followed his gaze. "Yichen, you know the Xu family too?"

The Xu Group and the Wen Group have collaborated before, and coincidentally, their two VIP wards are right next to each other. Mr. Xu just came over and chatted with them for a while.

Pei Yichen watched Jiang Shutong chatting and laughing with the Xu family, his expression cold and hard. "I don't know her."

After saying that, he walked straight away.

Wen Shiyan glanced at the woman's back in the ward, said nothing, and quickly followed.

Inside the elevator.

Looking at the glaring red mark on his neck, Wen Shiyan couldn't help but gossip, "Speaking of which, now that you two have progressed to sleeping together, isn't it time to introduce your sister-in-law to us?"

Pei Yichen coldly retorted, "Who said you can't get a divorce just because you slept together?"

Besides, he wasn't asleep yet.

Pei Yichen's face was so dark it could drip water, and the aura emanating from him made the narrow elevator feel chilly.

Xu Mingze has done such a heinous thing to her, yet she can still smile so charmingly at the Xu family.

Ha, maybe he shouldn't have shown up last night?

Seeing that he looked unwell, Wen Shiyan touched his nose and dared not ask any further questions.

Around noon, Jiang Shutong got up to say goodbye.

Mr. Xu got up and saw her out.

As the two walked down the corridor, Mr. Xu finally couldn't help but ask, "Tongtong, what exactly happened between you and Mingze? How did things get like this?"

I remember the last time they met, Jiang Shutong said shyly that she wanted to go to a hotel with her son to have a baby.

How did things suddenly escalate to the point where her son is about to drug and rape her...?

Perhaps he's getting old and can no longer understand the dating patterns of young people.

Jiang Shutong twisted her hands together, hesitated for a moment, and finally confessed directly: "Uncle Xu, Mingze cheated on me, so we broke up a long time ago. But I was afraid that Aunt Cheng wouldn't be able to accept our breakup, so on her birthday night, we were just pretending to be affectionate..."

Mr. Xu was stunned at first, then flew into a rage after realizing what had happened, "That unfilial son! He has such a beautiful and sensible girlfriend like you, and he still cheated on her!"

Looking at the agitated Mr. Xu, Jiang Shutong said calmly, "Uncle Xu, it's all in the past. I've let him go. I just didn't expect him to come back to bother me and drug me..."

Seeing Jiang Shutong's heartbroken expression, Xu's father knew that Xu Mingze and Jiang Shutong were completely over and there was no possibility of them getting back together.

His son first cheated on him, and then committed the illegal act of drugging him and attempting to rape him, which made him, as a father, feel ashamed.

He thought he had raised such an outstanding son, but it turns out he's such a scoundrel.

After offering a few words of comfort to Xu's father, Jiang Shutong left the hospital.

She had just gotten into a taxi when she received a call from the police station, asking her to cooperate with the investigation into the case from the previous night.

She could only ask the driver to take her to the police station instead.

Inside the recording room.

The police officer sitting opposite Jiang Shutong said in a gentle tone, "Ms. Jiang, according to your husband, your ex-boyfriend Xu Mingze drugged you with the intention of assaulting you. Please tell us the details of what happened last night."

Jiang Shutong curled up her hands in front of her and nodded. "Okay."

She recounted the events of the previous night truthfully.

She then added, "But I wasn't physically harmed. We've been together for two years, and he's always been very respectful of me and never touched me. He drugged me last night because he heard I was getting married and did it in a moment of passion."

"After the drugs took effect last night, he didn't touch me and didn't start any acts of assault."

The police officer had some doubts. "But your husband said you sent him a message asking for help..."

Jiang Shutong said calmly, "Yes, because I panicked when I first realized I had been drugged, which is why I sent that message."

The police officer paused writing, looked down at the statement from the previous night, and raised a question: "According to Xu Mingze's mother, Ms. Cheng Sha, after dinner last night, she asked Xu Mingze to take you home. If Xu Mingze did not intend to commit any assault, why would he take you to his private villa instead of taking you directly home...?"

"Because I didn't tell him my real address, I'm afraid he'll keep harassing me in the future..."

Jiang Shutong recounted the events of last night in a half-truthful manner, unsure if this would exempt Xu Mingze from criminal charges.

But she did her best for her parents.

She didn't want to see their only son go to jail and become the only stain on their lives.

Although they said they would let Xu Mingze face legal punishment inside, they were actually still very worried about their son who had been pampered since childhood.

Before leaving the police station, Jiang Shutong signed a letter of understanding.

She didn't know if this was the right thing to do, but the thought of her mother lying weak and pale in bed strengthened her resolve.

Making Xu Mingze suffer legal punishment might relieve her anger temporarily, but she would never be able to face Xu's parents again.

They were so good to her, she had no way to repay them.

-

Boyu Group.

Today is Sunday, and Pei Yichen is back at the company working overtime again.

However, he, who is usually focused on his work, was somewhat restless at this moment.

At that moment, Li Kai knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Pei, the police station called to say that your wife personally went to the police station to write a letter of understanding for Xu Mingze and voluntarily requested that Xu Mingze not be held criminally liable."

Pei Yichen's hand, which was about to sign, suddenly made a sharp cut, the tip of his nose tearing through the paper beneath his pen, and his dark eyes instantly turned as cold as an icy pool.

He recalled Jiang Shutong's words of comfort to Xu's mother at the hospital; no wonder she firmly said that Xu Mingze would be out in a few days.

So that's what she was planning.

Ha, he shouldn't have rushed to save her like a madman after seeing her SOS message last night.

He now looks like a clown.

Last night, when Jiang Shutong was in a daze, she tried to push him away and asked him to find her a man, which might mean asking him to go find Xu Mingze.

Did he ruin their good time?

Li Kai asked, "President Pei, should we gather more evidence and put Xu Mingze in jail for life?"

"No need," Pei Yichen said sarcastically. "One is willing to give, and the other is willing to receive; why should I meddle?"

Jiang Shutong might even tell the police that drugging was just a playful act between her and her boyfriend.

Six p.m.

Pei Yichen received a WeChat message from Jiang Shutong on his phone.

She sent me a photo of a very lavish meal she had prepared.

Mr. Pei, to thank you for saving me last night, I've specially prepared a sumptuous meal for you.

Jiang Shutong thoughtfully added: "By the way, you can also bring your friend, Li Kai."

Pei Yichen: [No need, you should just take the food to the detention center.]
