Chapter 1478: Chapter 1478: The Heartbroken Police Officer
Liu Mingâs entire life had been built on the foundation of the Ye family. Without them, what was he? Even with the embezzled money in his pocket, he was nothing, and besides, he couldnât even hold on to that money.
Ye Fei was truly going to deal with him, and he was genuinely angry. So, Liu Ming, who had been arrested, was desperately trying to come up with a plan. He managed to borrow a phone, intending to call his cousin, but as soon as she picked up and heard his voice, she coldly said, âDeal with your mess,â and hung up.
Liu Ming immediately understood his cousinâs stance. He wasnât ready to give up yet and called his parentsâ home. His parents happened to be there and answered the phone, asking nervously, âSon, did something happen? Your sister told us to come over and said she had something important to tell us. Judging by her tone, it seems like a big deal.â
Liu Mingâs mother, who was also on the line, urgently asked, âIs everything okay, son? Whatâs going on? Youâre doing well now, so give us a hint. We donât want to say or do the wrong thing. Our family is relying on your sister now, so donât mess up. Focus on your career, and once youâre successful, weâll have more leverage.â
Before Liu Ming could say anything, his parents had already rambled on, making him feel even more miserable.
He was frantically thinking about what his cousin, who had climbed the social ladder, was planning to do by gathering the family.
âSon⊠why arenât you saying anything? Is my phone broken?â Liu Mingâs father, puzzled by the silence on the other end, asked after waiting for a while.
âThe phone canât be broken. Give it to me; Iâll talk to our son. Maybe thereâs no signal here!â Liu Mingâs mother grabbed the phone and said, âHello? Son, can you hear me?â
Liu Ming was overwhelmed with emotions. He suddenly burst into tears and cried into the phone, âMom, save me!â
This cry completely stunned Liu Mingâs mother. She quickly asked, âSon, whatâs wrong? Tell me what happened.â
Liu Mingâs father, hearing this, also panicked and grabbed the phone, demanding loudly, âWhat happened?â
Liu Ming, crying uncontrollably, said, âMom and Dad, you have to beg my cousin to save me. Iâve been arrested by the police. It was my brother-in-law who had me arrested.â
Even at this point, he still didnât tell the whole story, hoping to use family ties to manipulate his cousin and get himself out of trouble.
Even the police officer nearby couldnât help but roll his eyes. He grabbed the phone before Liu Ming could finish speaking, hung up, and looked at him with disdain, not giving him a chance to continue deceiving.
Liu Ming didnât dare to argue with the police. His phone was taken, and he didnât have time to say more.
Meanwhile, Liu Mingâs parents made several calls back. The police officer who had lent the phone answered once, coldly saying, âThis is my phone. Your son is charged with rape,â and then hung up.
Now, Liu Mingâs parents were in a panic. They didnât understand what had happened, and they couldnât get in touch with their son. They hurriedly rushed to Ming Yue Xinâs house.
Ming Yue Xin did explain the situation to Liu Mingâs parents, and they finally understood what had happened.
But their reactions were very strange, especially Liu Mingâs mother, who was also Ming Yue Xinâs aunt.
She ran over and knelt in front of Ming Yue Xin, pleading, âYue Xin, please, save your brother. Heâs still young, and it was an unintentional mistake. It wasnât intentional. Give him a chance. If he goes to prison for a few years, itâll be too late when he gets out!â
Other members of the Ming family arrived one after another. Seeing Liu Mingâs mother like this, some were moved and joined in, saying, âYeah, Yue Xin, youâre doing well now. If you can help, you should. He is your brother, after all. If he goes to prison, these two old people will be ruined. They only have one child, and theyâre counting on him to get married and have kids.â
âItâs not a big deal. The Ye family is so powerful now. It canât be that hard to save someone. Just pay more in compensation. Itâs not a big issue!â
âThat woman must be no good. Our Liu Ming is a vice general manager.
Why would he need to rape someone? It must have been she who seduced him, trying to extort money from him. Iâm telling you, people these days are all bad. There are all kinds of people out there.â
As soon as this person spoke, Ming Yue Xin felt a chill run down her spine. Her eyes widened as she looked at the relatives around her. She suddenly felt terrified.
Yes, she was now secure for the rest of her life, with the man she loved, and she would have children. She wouldnât have to worry for several generations, but that was her business.
These relatives, however, were benefiting from her success but didnât know how to be grateful.
Instead, they had the audacity toâŠ
With Liu Ming committing such a despicable act, not only were these family members not angry, but they were also⊠making these chillingly indifferent remarks and spewing nonsense. The more Ming Yue Xin listened, the more her heart ached. She even felt a pain in her chest.
Unfortunately, these family members didnât understand anything. They all had a narrow, self-interested mindset and never considered othersâ feelings.
The more Ming Yue Xin listened, the angrier she became. She finally couldnât hold back and burst out at these relatives, shouting, âEnough! You people who just spoke, are you even human? Thatâs a rape case, and you want me to cover for Liu Ming? What are you thinking?â
Her shout silenced the noisy room. Everyone stared at Ming Yue Xin in a daze.
After a few seconds, someone couldnât help but speak up.
This person was an elder of Ming Yue Xin, who felt insulted by being scolded by a younger generation.
He said, âMing Yue Xin, how dare you speak to us like that? We are your elders!â
