Please, mature women, have some self-respect. I just want a raise and a promotion.

Xiao Mei immediately reached out and ripped off the waistband.

Just then, Lin Zheng suddenly felt a sense of unease.

This woman is too impatient.

From the moment she entered the room until now, less than five minutes have passed, and she's already getting straight to the point.

This is not the performance of a veteran.

Moreover, she just said she'd been doing it for three years, but her hands seemed a bit clumsy, as if she was pretending to be skilled.

"Wait." Lin Zheng grabbed her hand.

Xiao Mei was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

"Are you sure you just want to sleep with me?"

"Otherwise what?"

"I think you have other motives."

Xiao Mei's expression changed, and her eyes darted away.

"Manager Lin, what did you say?"

"I'm just a prostitute, what could my motives be?"

"Really?" Lin Zheng stared into her eyes.

Her eyes darted away, avoiding his gaze.

"One last question for you, what exactly do you do?" Lin Zheng asked coldly.

Xiao Mei's face was deathly pale, and her lips trembled as she couldn't speak.

Just then, police sirens suddenly sounded downstairs.

The sound grew louder and louder as it approached.

Xiao Mei suddenly pushed Lin Zheng away when she heard the sound.

With Lin Zheng looking puzzled, she tore open her top and skirt.

At this moment, a police car had already come to a stop downstairs at the clubhouse.

Police officers are getting out of their vehicles; there are at least a dozen of them.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Zheng asked coldly, his face grim.

"Sorry, I'm just doing my job because I'm paid to do something wrong."

Xiao Mei finished speaking and then shouted.

"Help! Someone, come quick!"

"Someone is raping me..."

Lin Zheng's expression changed instantly, and he immediately realized that this woman was there to set a trap for him.

The police suddenly came to check the room; someone must have reported it.

The person who reported him was targeting him.

"Who exactly are you?" Lin Zheng stared at Xiao Mei and asked sharply.

Xiao Mei didn't answer, and turned and ran away.

Lin Zheng grabbed her wrist.

"Who sent you?"

Xiao Mei struggled desperately.

"Let me go!"

"Police! Help! Someone's being raped here!"

Lin Zheng held her hand tightly, refusing to let go.

Just then, footsteps came from the bottom of the stairs.

The police came upstairs.

Xiao Mei opened her mouth and bit Lin Zheng's hand.

Lin Zheng winced in pain and released his grip.

Xiao Mei rushed to the door, flung it open, and ran to the police officer's side.

"Rape, he...he raped me..."

Upon hearing this, the police rushed into Lin Zheng's room.

"Police officer, don't move!"

Lin Zheng stood by the bed and raised his hands.

"What's your name?" the policeman asked.

"Lin Zheng"

"What do you do?"

"Project Manager, Teng Hua Group"

"What are you doing here?"

"massage."

The police officer glanced at him, then looked at the bed and the condoms on the bedside table in the room, his expression suspicious.

"She said you raped her," the police officer in charge said.

Lin Zheng explained, "It's a misunderstanding. I was set up, and this woman was an accomplice."

"Whether she was an accomplice or whether you committed rape, we need to investigate her at the station and take her away!"

Two policemen stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zheng's arms, one on each side.

Lin Zheng did not struggle; he knew that struggling at this point would be useless.

But he knew in his heart that someone had set a trap for him.

And this woman named Xiaomei was just bait.

Who is it?

Zhou Hailong?

Ma Cuihua?

Or is it Li Ting?

Lin Zheng's mind raced, his gaze settling on Xiao Mei.

She cried terribly, but there were no tears in her eyes.

Lin Zheng suddenly spoke up: "Xiao Mei, who sent you?"

Xiao Mei's body stiffened, and her crying stopped.

"If you just tell me, I can let it go."

"You...you shut up! You're the one who raped me, you beast!"

The policeman frowned and shoved Lin Zheng: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go."

Lin Zheng was led downstairs.

When the police escorted Lin Zheng to the lobby on the first floor, a large crowd had already gathered at the entrance of the club.

Onlookers, passersby, and even a few guests who had run out of the club all craned their necks to peer inside.

"Make way, make way, everyone make way." The police pushed through the crowd and led Lin Zheng to the police car.

"Get in the car."

Lin Zheng did not move, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

He saw Li Zhengang.

Li Zhengang stood at the back of the crowd, his face grim, a cigarette between his fingers but he wasn't smoking it.

Seeing Lin Zheng being led out, he frowned, turned around, and left.

Lin Zheng's heart sank.

Li Zhengang's departure indicates that he neither wanted to nor could manage this matter.

"Get in the car, don't dawdle." The policeman gave him a push.

Lin Zheng bent down and got into the police car, and the door slammed shut.

Through the car window, he saw that Xiaomei had also been brought out.

The woman, wearing a coat and with her head down, was helped into another car by two policewomen.

The police car started and drove out of the clubhouse.

Lin Zheng leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

His mind was in complete turmoil, but he forced himself to calm down.

Someone set a trap for him, aiming to ruin his reputation and force him to leave Dianhai Town.

Who is it?

Ma Cuihua?

She had said that if necessary, she could send people to cause trouble at the construction site, but I never expected her to actually do this.

Li Ting?

He didn't want to repay the money, nor did he want to confront Lin Zheng head-on, so he resorted to such underhanded tactics.

Zhou Hailong?

He is the most likely candidate.

Because he possessed the evidence that Lin Zheng wanted.

If Lin Zheng gets into trouble, then he won't have to hand over the evidence, and he can renege on his gambling debts.

Or perhaps it's Wang Jianguo?

They just signed a memorandum, and then they sold him out?

No, that wouldn't do him any good.

Lin Zheng couldn't understand it, so he took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

The police car stopped in front of a gray building.

Dianhai Town Police Station.

He was taken into an interrogation room, which was small with only a table and a few chairs. A sign on the wall read, "Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely."

The lights were very bright, making my eyes uncomfortable.

"Sit down," the policeman said, pointing to a chair.

Lin Zheng sat down and placed his hands on the table.

"ID card."

Lin Zheng took out his ID card and handed it over.

The policeman looked at it and placed it on the table: "Tell me, what happened?"

"I went to a massage parlor, and for some reason, the woman suddenly yelled that she was being raped."

"massage?"

The police officer was taken aback, then said sternly, "You went to a place like that for a massage?"

My friend took me there; I didn't know it was that kind of place.

"Friend? Which friend?"

Lin Zheng paused for a moment, then said, "Li Zhengang."

The police officer was taken aback; he clearly recognized the name.

"Where is Li Zhengang?"

"He's gone. He wasn't here when you arrived."

The policeman frowned but didn't ask any more questions.

At that moment, the door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a police uniform walked in.

He glanced at Lin Zheng and whispered a few words to the police officer interrogating him.

The police officer conducting the interrogation nodded, stood up, and walked out.

The middle-aged man sat down opposite Lin Zheng and lit a cigarette.

"Lin Zheng, right?"

"Yes."

"I am the head of the police station, my surname is Liu."

"Hello, Director Liu."

Director Liu exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at him: "Your matter is a bit troublesome."

"That woman accused you of rape, and she has bruises on her body and her clothes are torn."

"If this is proven true, you will be sentenced to at least three years."
