Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

A group of reporters immediately swarmed towards Lin Tinghan and began bombarding him with questions.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that your wife and Mr. Xie from the Xie Group were caught secretly meeting behind your back. Enraged, they tried to silence each other and were both arrested by the police. Is that true?"

"What exactly is the relationship between your wife and the president of the Xie Group? There have been rumors that you and your wife have already divorced; is this true?"

"I heard that Mr. Xie assaulted someone because some thugs were trying to take advantage of your wife. Was he acting out of a sense of justice, or was he enraged and wanted to silence her?"

Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters.

Lin Tinghan lowered his eyes slightly and answered in a calm voice.

"My wife and I have always had a good relationship, and there have never been any rumors of marital discord. As for Xie Jingyao, I have always regarded him as a brother. I never imagined that he would have ulterior motives towards my wife..."

Upon hearing this, the reporter immediately seized on the key point, "So it's true that Mr. Xie cheated on you?"

Lin Tinghan replied without changing his expression, "I don't know. I only believe what my wife says. She's been taken away by the police now, and I'll ask her myself after she's finished her investigation."

The reporter then asked, "You and your wife have been together for many years, and your relationship has always been stable. So, are you more convinced that it's Mr. Xie who has unilateral feelings for your wife, rather than the two of you having an affair?"

Lin Tinghan did not answer the question.

He looked ashen-faced, as if he had suffered a great blow.

He turned and went back into the building, where bodyguards quickly stopped the reporters who tried to catch up.

Meanwhile, the press conference concluded.

Upon seeing Lin Tinghan, Huo Xingxiao, the president of Lairui Technology, and his entire team descended the steps.

He clapped his hands. "President Lin, today was quite a show for me."

Lin Tinghan was not angry at his teasing. He moved his lips and said in a neutral tone, "President Huo, you flatter me."

"What a pity. I thought I could enjoy the thrill of being fought over between you and Xie Jingyao today."

Lin Tinghan chuckled a few times. "I said from the beginning that as long as you see my sincerity, you will definitely choose me."

"Then I'm really looking forward to the terms you'll be offering today."

After Lin Tinghan and Huo Xingxiao arrived at the VIP lounge.

All bodyguards stood guard outside the door, and no one was allowed to approach within a hundred paces.

Lin Tinghan pushed a USB drive to Huo Xingxiao.

Huo Xingxiao plugged the computer in, but what came out were several test reports and an unexpected person.

……

To prevent collusion, Si Nian and Xie Jingyao were escorted separately.

The police car and Xie Jingyao's lawyers arrived at the police station at almost the same time.

Although the situation between Si Nian and Xie Jingyao has not yet been defined.

However, the widely circulated version of the story is that the two were having an affair behind Lin Tinghan's back, and after being caught by passersby, they became enraged and wanted to kill each other to silence the witnesses.

During the statement taking, Si Nian truthfully recounted what had happened.

However, when talking about Xie Jingyao stabbing Wang Peng in the genitals, Si Nian paused for a moment and claimed, "When I came to my senses, I realized that I had stabbed him six times... He only completely lost the ability to move when the last stab was in his genitals."

"You mean, those six stabs you made were all in self-defense, done out of necessity?"

"Yes."

After taking the statement, the police officer went out and returned shortly afterward.

"Your testimonies are inconsistent. Who is lying? You both claim to have stabbed six times, but who actually did it? Or did you both act together, and where did each of you stab?"

Si Nian swallowed hard.

She wasn't surprised that Xie Jingyao would say that.

When the police tried to take her away, Xie Jingyao took the initiative to claim that she was the one who did it.

Under the stern questioning of the police, Si Nian insisted that she was the one who had committed the act.

After Xie Jingyao's arranged lawyer met with Si Nian, the latter offered a reassuring reassurance.

"Ms. Si, you and Mr. Xie were acting in self-defense, so there's no need to be nervous. Just tell me what happened."

Si Nian repeated what she had just told the police officer to the lawyer.

She spent a day and a night in the interrogation room.

Although the police did not continue to question her, Si Nian's mental state was on the verge of collapse.

She sat numbly in the chair, feeling as if her whole body no longer belonged to her; she was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to speak.

But to her surprise...

The day after the press conference, the police had her handcuffs removed. "Ms. Si, you can go now. The injured man has been rescued and is conscious. He has identified the perpetrator and said that you were innocently implicated."
