Chapter 165: Investigation Results

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Earlier, Lin Feng and Zhang Jiao had been accusing Mei Shu crazily, and Mei Yun had not been overly protective of his daughter. He didn’t want others to think he was an unreasonable person.

But now that the truth had come to light, Mei Yun was no longer willing to tolerate it.

“Do you have anything else to say?” he asked, hands on his hips, his face filled with anger. He was clearly quite upset and determined to seek justice for his daughter.

Zhang Jiao had never been this flustered before.

But that video was the best evidence in Mei Shu’s favor.

He clenched his lips tightly, trembling with humiliation. “1 demand the police be called. There must be something wrong with this footage. The police must investigate!”

“Well…” The others all showed disapproval on their faces.

Zhang Jiao’s actions now seemed like an attempt to save face. But he was still trying to shift his own mistakes onto a young girl. His behavior was truly reprehensible.

“Mr. Zhang, I understand your feelings, but this girl from the Mei family is still quite young. By making such a big fuss, you might scare the child,” someone said, showing disdain while trying to persuade him to calm down.

After all, this was his own doing.

Why did he have to do such a thing when there were so many people around?

Zhang Jiao shouted at the person in anger, “The police must investigate this matter! I am innocent!”

Mei Yun was growing tired of his stubbornness.

He knew best what his daughter was capable of.

Although he knew his daughter was very clever, altering surveillance footage like this was impossible for her.

So, he didn’t believe that the surveillance video had been tampered with by someone.

“All right, since you insist on doing this, then go ahead and report it to the police. But if the police investigation ends up with the same results as now, don’t blame me for suing you for slandering my daughter’s reputation.”

“Who will sue whom in the end is still uncertain!” Zhang Jiao defiantly retorted.

Mei Yun sneered, worried that Mei Shu might be frightened by what she had witnessed tonight. He put his arm around his daughter’s shoulders, softly comforting her, “Don’t be afraid. Daddy will definitely seek justice for you and not let others falsely accuse you.”

“Thank you, Dad.” Mei Shu looked up at him gratefully and smiled.

Seeing the affectionate father-daughter pair, Zhang Jiao suddenly felt a pang of rage.

He could almost conclude now that Mei Yun was the mastermind behind this entire incident!

This matter was not over between him and the Mei family!

What had started as a lively birthday banquet had unexpectedly escalated to the point of involving the police, a turn of events that no one had anticipated.

That night, when the police arrived at the hotel, it was already 11 PM, but no one mentioned leaving.

The events of tonight were truly unprecedented, and no one was willing to leave without seeing the end.

Zhang Jiao also had no intention of driving everyone away. Right now, he desperately needed the police to prove his and Lin Feng’s innocence; otherwise, he would have a hard time continuing his life!

Due to the uniqueness of this case, the police dispatched three cybercrime officers to investigate the surveillance.

For a while, the surveillance room was filled with the crisp sound of keyboard typing, and the rest of the people dared not even breathe.

The glaring light from the screens made people somewhat drowsy.

Mei Shu lazily yawned and casually moved a chair against the wall to sit on and rest with her eyes closed.

Mei Yun, growing impatient, glanced at the time and proactively took off his coat and draped it over Mei Shu, worried that she might get cold from sleeping here.

After an unknown amount of time, the police had not yet produced any investigation results. Someone noticed something unusual. They asked in astonishment, “Where did Young Master Lin go? Why isn’t he here?”

Once this question was raised, everyone suddenly became alert. “I saw him here just now! Could he have gone to the restroom?”

“I’ll go check!” Someone, worried that Lin Feng had disappeared, volunteered to go to the restroom to look for him.

However, this person quickly returned and said, “There’s no one in the restroom. Could he have actually left out of guilt?”

Now, everyone’s sympathetic gaze returned to Zhang Jiao.

One of the two main figures had already run away, leaving only Zhang Jiao still desperately trying to blame someone else.

Some people sighed in disappointment, while others chuckled at the spectacle, but no one approached Zhang Jiao to console him.

Mei Yun called his assistant to find out Lin Feng’s whereabouts.

“All right,” one of the cybercrime officers finally stopped typing and leaned back in his chair, stretching lazily. “I’ve reached a conclusion. What about the rest of you?”

The other two police officers exchanged glances, and they could see the certainty in each other’s eyes.

“How is it?” Zhang Jiao asked nervously.

The lead police officer stood up and patted his shoulder. “There are no signs of tampering with this surveillance footage. Right now, we suspect you of making a false police report. Please come with us to the police station to assist in the investigation.”

“This is impossible!” Zhang Jiao suddenly lost control, pushing away the police officer’s hand and rushing to Mei Shu. He forcefully grabbed her collar. “You tell me, is this your doing? 1 really underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to have such great abilities!”

“And you!” He pointed at Mei Yun with malice.. “I’ve been sincere to you all along, and this is how you repay me!”
