Even though Su Fei was her niece, if Fang Lanxin pleaded her case, she would lose her husband and children. She had already settled into the Shipley family. She hoped that when her elder brother-in-law Adolf became a marquis in the future, he would support her and her children.
Therefore, even though she was very anxious, she no longer wanted to defend Su Fei.
Su Fei was dumbfounded as she watched the cold handcuffs being slapped onto her wrists. She felt extremely uncomfortable and screamed, “Aunt, please help me! Please help me! I’m not guilty! What right do they have to arrest me?”
Fang Lanxin, “…” She looked at her crying niece with a sad expression, but she did not dare to say a word.
“Fang Lanxin, say something! Why aren’t you saying anything? My mother entrusted me to you! Is this how you’re supposed to treat me? If you don’t dare to say anything after your dad threatens you, what should I do? Are you just going to watch me get locked up?”
Fang Lanxin, “…”
The handcuffs were locked. Su Fei was scared out of her wits.
Luntan was not like Camino. In Camino, if one’s family had enough connections, they would be able to get out of the jaws of the law.
However, in Luntan, it was very difficult to reduce one’s sentence once they were given it. Especially for someone like her who had offended the constantly-protected young lady of the Duke’s mansion. There was absolutely no possibility of reducing her sentence.
Su Fei was scared out of her wits. She screamed, “Fang Lanxin, my parents supported you for so many years! Is this how you repay them? Don’t you have a conscience? If my parents learn how you treated me, they would never let you off the hook!”
Initially, Fang Lanxin felt guilty for not being able to help Su Fei. She wanted to convince her father-in-law to help her. However, Su Fei’s words were like a bucket of cold water pouring over her, extinguishing all of Fang Lanxin’s sadness and worries.
Su Fei saw the worry in Fang Lanxin’s eyes disappear, and her own heart was filled with despair. She pointed at Fang Lanxin and shouted, “Since you’ve arrested me, why don’t you arrest her too?”
Fang Lanxin was stunned. She yelled in disbelief and anger, “Su Fei, are you crazy? What does this have to do with me?”
“How does it have nothing to do with you? You were clearly there when they called. You listened to Xu Yunyun saying that she wanted to kill Nangong Nuannuan, and you never tried to stop her. I’m the same as you. If I have to be punished, my only mistake was that I didn’t stop Xu Yunyun. Why should they arrest me and not you? Just because you’re the Marquis’ daughter-in-law?”
“Shut up!” Fang Lanxin looked at Su Fei, who was barking at everyone like a mad dog, in disbelief. Her eyes were filled with anger. She quickly said to the police, “Officer Abel, don’t listen to her nonsense! I don’t know Miss Sunny at all. I have no issue with her! I don’t have any desire to kill people!
“I never wanted to kill anyone! You’re arresting me because you think I was in cahoots with Xu Yunyun. My mistake was using letting Xu Yunyun use my phone to call them—but what about you? You were the one who introduced the mercenary group to me! If I’m guilty, how can you not be?”
At that moment, Su Fei desperately wanted to drag Fang Lanxin down with her.
She thought that if Fang Lanxin could get away with it, then why not her too?
Fang Lanxin’s three children had been hanging out with their friends tonight. When they came back, they saw Su Fei wanting to drag their mother down with her.
