Chapter 67 Evidence
A call reporting domestic violence on both Lu Lan and Song Yuan Zhi was sent into the police station.
The teachers that witnessed the tragedy all felt angry and came out as witnesses. With the ruckus caused by the educated ones in the police station, the chief in that station were also alarmed.
In this laggard age, the people were still honest and simple; and they also cared a lot about cases involving domestic violence. Seeing how badly Song Ye was beaten, the chief immediately issued an order for the old folks in village the Song family was in to be invited over.
When the old folks arrived and saw the situation, they became angry. They then pointed their fingers at Lu Lan’s nose and scolded,
“You cruel, wretched woman! This child had done all sorts of easy and difficult chores ever since she was a kid. Although she’s the eldest in the family and should do more work, there’s no one that will order her around as much as you do! And you had even beaten the child up behind the scenes. Aiyo, you’re going to receive divine punishment.”
The old folks watched Song Ye grow up and was naturally able to see how much Lu Lan had abused Song Ye. Now that they were looking at the scar on her arms and the injury on her head, all of them felt angry.
Lu Lan held onto her arms and was standing there obediently. Under this circumstances, Song Yuan Zhi also continue to stand down. He tugged his shirt and faked a properly look as he walked towards the crowd,
“Actually Lu Lan was only acting impulsively. Song Ye had strike a relative some time ago in a restaurant and had even destroyed some things in the room, so the family had compensated a huge amount of money in her place. Both me and Lu Lan only wanted to bring the child back to teach her a lesson; but we didn’t expect that a fight will occur and accidents happening.”
“You called this injury an accident?”
The one recording was a young man. Looking at Song Ye’s pale face, it’s obvious that it was hard for him to accept such a thing.
But Song Yuan Zhi was insistent and nodded his head,
“Sigh, we don’t know what was up with this child lately. She was very rebellious and did not return home for a few months now. Both me and Lu Lan were very worried and we’re afraid that she got to know some ruffians and did not learn properly that we went to look for her in the school. Look at what this child is wearing, it is not something that she can afford. She had even lied that she had earned a large amount of money but no matter how I think about it, it makes no sense. How can a child even earn money.”
What he was talking about was naturally during the time he met Zhao Zhen. When he heard that Song Ye had earned a huge amount of money, the whole family was happy for a few days and he had both his daughters to secretly look for where the money was hidden. But after observing for half a month, they found nothing off about Song Ye. Song Yuan Zhi became aggravated and thought that Song Ye was lying.
And the one that’s helping her in lying was Zhao Zhen became a ruffian.
After being discriminated by someone for a few times, anyone would be angered. It is especially so since Zhao Zhen was a man with achievements. In front of everyone, he took out his business card and handed it to the policeman,
“My family name is Zhao. I’m the General Manager of Yu Fu Jewellery.”
“Yu Fu Jewellery……”
The young policeman repeated the familiar name and suddenly something flashed through his head as he widened his eyes,
“Isn’t this the jewellery shop that extracted a jade that costed one hundred million USD? Director Zhao, you’re that Directory Zhao. I’ve seen your face on the television.”
Yun Cheng was a small place and any great occurrence would be reported in the local city news. And Yu Fu Jewellery one hundred million USD transaction was naturally known throughout the whole city and everyone knew about it. But it was out of expectation that he will meet him in person today.
The chief hurriedly headed up to shake hands and he was smiling so much that his eyes had formed a line.
Zhao Zhen politely greeted and continued to explain:
“This child, Song Ye came to my shop to look for a job a few months ago. I find her to be pitiable so I gave her something to eat and drink and gifted her some clothes. But to think that my kindness was viewed in bad light and misunderstood by others.”
Zhao Zhen was a smart person. The reason why they had rushed to the school was because Song Ye’s call. When they heard the ruckus and how all of it ended in the police station, he understood that Song Ye wanted to gain the greatest benefit and acted in this great show.
The words from someone with power was even more impactful. After a few sentences in, he pointed the anger of the people towards the cruel Song spouse.
Song Yuan Zhi’s face turned grim and he was not willing to say more. Lu Lan who was standing behind him held onto her arm as she stepped out and strongly complained,
“Everyone, don’t be tricked by her. She’s pretending to be innocent. Last time, she had hit her auntie and her parent in the restaurant. My arm was also broken due to her orders.”
“You’re talking nonsense. It was obviously because you’re too much with your words and that young lady can’t bear it anymore that she hit you.”
The homeroom teacher hopped out to refute and she had been frustrated all this time.
But some people were born to only cause more trouble for others, Lu Lan raised her head,
“So, you’re saying that because you have more numbers on your side that whatever you said is true? I can even say that Song Ye’s injury was caused by herself, and do all of you have evidence?”
“Yes, evidence.”
Song Yuan Zhi felt fortunate that his brainless woman finally said something useful and stepped out reasonably again,
“You can’t prove anything with your words only. Why not bring out some evidence rather than talking?”
Yes, in this age, there’s no assessment of injuries and no finger print identification. And since it is a small place, there’s no way they’re gonna cause a ruckus just to set a surveillance camera. When the people were asked such, they did not know how to refute it.
Yun Hua was standing at the side while holding tightly onto Song Ye’s hands. Every time she heard the words coming from the Song Family, her understanding towards the word ‘shamelessness’ was being refreshed everytime. No wonder Song Ye did not want to mention about her parents. Even she herself did not want such parents even if someone wrap them up nicely.
It will be alright if the police station was not able to charge them. Once they get out of the door, she had all sorts of ways to make them suffer.
The killing intent released from her body was caught by Song Ye and she just shook her head. Looks like Yun Hua’s mentality was not stable enough yet.
Looking at how everyone had fell silent, Song Ye took the phone out of her pocket,
“Evidence, I have it.”
She pressed a button and the voice recording that were recorded began to play.
“You bitch, who asked you to look like that slut that has a face born to seduce the husband of another person.”
“So what if I’m the one that did it……”
……
Following the playing of the voice recording, Lu Lan’s blood curdling words began to be played out clearly. Everyone clenched their fists in anger while the Song spouses stood there dumbfounded with their pale lips trembling.
With a bang, the chief angrily slammed onto the table and glared at the Song spouses as he glared at them,
“Now, what else are you going to say!”
The Song spouses trembled and became silent. They did not expect that Song Ye had a phone on her and prepared such a thing.
At this point, the truth was revealed and everyone was so angry that they want to spat onto this cruel parents. But in the end, there was still the blood relation that they shared. The life of the child was what’s worrying them.
Song Ye setting this up, even at the cost of her own pain, finally stood out to talk.
“Actually prior to this, when Uncle Zhao learned of my predicament, he had secretly helped me to deal with the procedures for my guardian. In the papers, I’m not part of the Song family anymore. For the thing that happened today, I only hope that everyone here can be my witness and let me take back something that was left behind by my mother.”
