“That’s true,” Rose Young admitted. “They were already engaged but that didn’t stop Big Brother Liwei from making promises to me. And I believed everything he told me because…because I love him. I love him so much! I was blinded with my love for him that I believed him when he told me that he’ll break up with that…with Iris Long, so that we can finally be together. I waited and waited but he continued to only assure me with kisses and sex. Lots of sex.”
The male officer curled his lip. “Why would CEO Jin leave Iris Long for you?”
Rose Young felt triggered by the asshole’s contemptuous gaze on her body, especially when it landed on her chest area. She straightened her back but then forced to make herself smaller again. This wasn’t the time to flare up.
“Big Brother Liwei always tells me that…” She bit her lip as if unsure whether it was appropriate to say her next words or not.
“Go on, don’t be afraid,” the female officer assured her. “Just tell us.”
“He says that Iris Long is…not fun in bed. That she’s boring. She only lays there without moving.”
The female officer raised an eyebrow but that only lasted for a second before smoothing out her expression again to show another kind but neutral smile. She gestured for Rose Young to continue speaking.
“Iris Long can’t satisfy Big Brother Liwei’s needs.”
“So according to what you’re saying, CEO Jin turned to you to satisfy his…needs?”
“Yes.”
“Hah, unbelievable!” the male officer scoffed.
Rose Young felt the strongest urge to slap the asshole. Although this good cop, bad cop style was very common, it was still extremely infuriating especially since she was experiencing it firsthand. It was so difficult to restrain herself from scratching the asshole’s face off but she still forced herself to not lose her temper. The situation was dire and she needed to do anything in order to save herself.
The female officer released a warning cough for show. The male officer became quiet again.
“Go on, Miss Young. Please tell us more about your alleged relationship with CEO Jin.”
“It’s not alleged, it’s real!”
She took a deep breath and continued speaking about her secret love affair with Jin Liwei. She told them about her fantasies, weaving them as the truth, until it was becoming difficult even for her to differentiate what was real and imagined.
“Big Brother Liwei is a very virile man. He’s also very…let’s say adventurous. He likes it rough and to use toys with me. Iris Long refuses to even try new things with him, so that’s why…he loves being with me. He knows that he can do whatever he wants with me and try new things without worrying about me judging his…rather heavy tastes.”
The female officer leaned forward, the kind smile still on her face. Her eyes, however, couldn’t conceal her true cunning to Rose Young. “Tell me, Miss Young. You came from a good background that is comparable to Iris Long. Like her, you’re also an heiress to your family fortune in Singapore. I understand that your family operates the Singaporean branch of Jin Corporation?”
“Yes.”
“Tell me then, Miss Young, if everything you said is really true, why would a woman like you agree to become a mistress?”
Rose clutched at her flat chest and cried in a heartbroken manner. “Because I love him! Do you think that I want to throw away my dignity like this? No! But for him, for Big Brother Liwei, for Jin Liwei, I sacrificed my dignity, my reputation, everything for him! Even if this is how he repays me, humiliating me to the entire world, betraying me and trapping me like this because he can’t bear to continue lying anymore, and leaving me to fend for myself to the police, I still love him! I love him so much. It…it hurts so much…but I still love him.”
The male officer dragged a chair, letting it screech from the friction against the floor, before sitting down in front of Rose Young with a loud thump. “You’re saying that CEO Jin betrayed you, that he set you up tonight?”
She appeared unwilling to confess Jin Liwei’s crime, but in the end, she gave a reluctant nod. “Yes. I don’t want to betray him…but he betrayed me first. We arranged to meet up tonight. He wanted to apologize and to make it up to me for what I experienced in the past few days. He told me that he had to make a show of spurning me in public in order to appease Iris Long’s suspicion and jealousy. We planned on making love tonight. He asked me to arrange the aphrodisiac and the handcuffs in advance for our usual bed play.
“But I never expected that he would double-cross me like this! That he would set me up and have the police arrest me! The truth is…I’m the true victim!”
###
In another but more spacious and comfortable office inside the hotel, Jin Liwei was being treated for his injuries. The man treating him was a member of his security team tonight but wasn’t actually his subordinate.
The man was wearing the same bodyguard suit as the rest of Jin Liwei’s subordinates, but the truth was that he was a member of Shadow Winds that Lu Zihao stationed at Dragon Palace Home #10.
Half of Jin Liwei’s bodyguards present tonight were actually Shadow Winds members. They were the additional security sent when Xu Tian revealed to him earlier that his wife might also attend the dinner with the executives at the hotel restaurant, earning the adorable ire of his AI daughter. Ketchup berated Xu Tian for revealing her mom’s supposed surprise for her dad.
In the end, what should have been a nice dinner with the other executives and possibly his wife and even his younger brother was destroyed by that woman, Rose Young.
The police offered to bring him to the hospital first for treatment and then question him there but Jin Liwei refused. He remembered that he still had his brother-in-law’s antidote in his bloodstream.
It would be too dangerous if he was sent to the hospital and had his blood drawn to be analyzed in a laboratory. He couldn’t risk that so he insisted on staying at the hotel for the police questioning.
