Wen Qi propped her head up with her fingers and chuckled: "I will naturally cooperate fully with the police investigation, but I have a question I would like to ask."

If the police investigation concludes and find no evidence to support the whistleblower's claims, will the whistleblower bear any corresponding legal responsibility, and will there be any damage to our reputation, or other losses caused by reputational issues?

Wang Shunyi: "Ms. Wen, our superiors have zero tolerance for cases of illegal detention. Yesterday's case of the Gu family's secret room imprisonment had an extremely negative impact."

Our response to this case was a special investigation; it's our duty to find out the truth. If the investigation ultimately finds all the allegations to be false, the police will issue an official statement to clear your and the Lu family's names.

Furthermore, making a report under one's real name carries legal risks; malicious accusations and false reports will be subject to corresponding legal penalties.

Lu Jisheng's expression changed slightly: "Officer, I can testify that it was illegal imprisonment. Wen Qi imprisoned our Lu family members and also wantonly abused and beat all of us."

Fang Xue exclaimed excitedly, "Officer, did you hear that? Lu Jisheng himself admitted it!"

Wang Shunyi looked at Wen Qi.

Wen Qi's brows relaxed, and she remained calm and composed: "Officers, please feel free to search."

Wang Shunyi ordered: "Everyone disperse and immediately conduct a thorough search of every floor and every room of the villa, leaving no corner unchecked."

Dozens of police officers immediately dispersed and rushed up to the second floor in unison to search the backyard.

Wen Qi leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed, as steady as an old dog.

Wang Shunyi turned to look at Lu Jisheng, who was wrapped in bandages on the stretcher, and took out his notebook to begin taking notes: "How did you get these injuries?"

"It was Wen Qi who did it, she did it all," Lu Jisheng insisted. "She also extorted money from us, restricted all of us from leaving the house, and tortured and beat us."

Wang Shunyi took notes and continued to press, "How many people are currently imprisoned?"

"Everyone in the Lu family is imprisoned here and has no freedom."

Fang Xue pressed on urgently, "What about my daughter, Wen Wen? Was she injured? How badly was she hurt?"

Lu Jisheng: "Wenwen has gone out."

Fang Xue was stunned, then her face turned furious: "Impossible! You're clearly lying, officer! He's been lying all along to protect Wen Qi!"

Wang Shunyi frowned: "Where in the villa are Wen Wen and the rest of the trapped Lu family members being held?"

"Everyone else is upstairs; Wen Wen went out," Lu Jisheng answered truthfully.

Fang Xue was furious and lost control of her emotions: "Officer, I just saw my daughter at the door with my own eyes. She was panicking and telling me to run. She's clearly right here."

"Aunt Fang, there really is no one hiding." Lu Jisheng was somewhat at a loss for words.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe a single word of it!"

Wang Shunyi: "Alright, have you found anything? We'll wait for the search results."

In the living room, Zhu Mengmeng, Xu Ruonan, Zhang Qing, and others stood quietly in a row.

A group of young girls had never seen such a large number of criminal police officers come to their door to investigate a case before, and they were all a little nervous and worried.

But on the surface, they remained obediently standing still, not daring to say anything that might disrupt the situation.

The influencer's live stream saw its popularity skyrocket, surpassing 600,000 concurrent viewers, with the screen filled with rapidly scrolling comments.

Lu Jisheng was lying on a stretcher, his body covered in bandages; he looked so pitiful.

[Is this confirmed? It really was illegal imprisonment; the person was beaten like this.]

There were rumors before that Wen Qi's mental state was unstable. Could it be a pathological obsession?

What is pathological obsessive love?

[That kind of insane love—breaking the legs of your lover and forcibly keeping them by your side for life if you can't win their heart.]

[It's chilling to think about. Did Wen Qi love Lu Jisheng but couldn't have him, so she imprisoned the entire Lu family and tortured Lu Jisheng every day to vent her anger?]
