Inside the police station, Song Yin kept her head lowered. Regardless of the questions posed to her, she refused to respond. This left the police somewhat frustrated because, without her cooperation, they couldn’t proceed with their inquiries.
“We’ve already traced the rumor-spreading post to your computer, posted from your alternate account,” the policeman interrogated sternly.
In reality, Song Yin was deeply frightened, but she recalled her mother’s instructions not to speak under any circumstances. She simply shook her head vigorously.
The police found themselves in a dilemma dealing with this situation. After all, the person in question was merely a high school student who remained entirely silent.
At that moment, someone entered and announced, “Song Yin’s brother has arrived with his lawyer.”
The police went out to meet Song Ting and allowed the lawyer to enter and speak with Song Yin.
The lawyer went straight to the point as he entered. “Miss Song, I’ve been hired by Mr. Song Ting to represent you. I need you to provide me with all the details surrounding this incident, holding nothing back.”
Song Yin obediently nodded, but she didn’t reveal the truth. “I don’t know what happened either. I was at home, and the police insisted that I posted those fake posts. They even claim to have found evidence on my computer, but I didn’t post anything.”
“Is your computer usually at home?” inquired the lawyer.
“My computer has always been at home,” replied Song Yin, shaking her head.
The lawyer continued his questioning, “Did you have a password set on your computer?”
Song Yin had been awaiting this question and responded firmly, “No, I’ve never had the habit of setting a password.”
Upon hearing this answer, the lawyer understood the situation. He reassured Song Yin, saying, “Miss Song, don’t worry. I’ll handle this matter and strive to get you released as soon as possible.”
“Thank you, lawyer,” Song Yin expressed her gratitude.
After the lawyer departed, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had conveyed everything according to her mother’s instructions, and she believed she would be fine.
Song Ting waited outside the police station. Upon seeing the lawyer emerge, he approached to inquire about the situation. At that moment, he noticed Song Fan entering with a man.
“Why are you at the police station?” Song Ting inquired as he approached.
Song Fan replied directly, “I received a notice from the police station stating that they’ve apprehended the suspect responsible for spreading rumors about me, so I brought my lawyer here.”
Song Ting turned his attention to the lawyer. The lawyer promptly explained, “Miss Song mentioned that the police detained her for spreading rumors, but she also asserted that she never made those posts. There must be some sort of mistake on the part of the police.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Shuo interjected, “I advise you not to jump to conclusions before the police have decided. After all, what the involved parties say might not necessarily be the truth.”
The lawyer felt somewhat indignant at being criticized by a fellow attorney. “Which law firm are you from? You appear quite young, so I assume you’re just an ordinary lawyer. Please mind your manners.”
Qi Shuo took a step closer. “My name is Qi Shuo, and I’m a partner at Tianhe
Law Firm. I’ve handled numerous lawsuits in the past.”
Song Ting’s lawyer remained silent, realizing that he had spoken too soon when he heard the name of Tianhe Law Firm.
Song Ting had urgently sought legal representation due to the abrupt incident. He hadn’t anticipated that Song Fan would secure such a competent lawyer and was somewhat puzzled. “Were you planning to file a lawsuit from the beginning?”
“That’s correct,” Song Fan replied with a smile. “When I saw the defamatory posts on the school forum, I made up my mind. I must ensure that the person responsible for spreading these rumors pays the price.”
Song Ting hadn’t expected this situation to involve both of the Song family’s young ladies. He felt a headache coming on. “What posts? Why haven’t you mentioned it to me before?”
Of course, Song Fan couldn’t discuss this matter with him in person, as she had no intention of involving him in its resolution. Qi Shuo, understanding the situation, handed his phone to Song Ting. “This is a post containing rumors that Miss Song found on the school forum.”
After reading both posts, Song Ting frowned deeply. He hadn’t anticipated such a malicious incident, where baseless rumors were being spread. The second post used regular photos to spread falsehoods, while the first post didn’t even include a photo. The underlying malice toward Song Fan was palpable.
“We must locate this person and make them understand that the Song Family cannot be taken lightly,” Song Ting declared angrily.
Song Fan could sense Song Ting’s disbelief and anger. Furthermore, he didn’t question Song Fan’s side of the story. However, he also didn’t believe that Song Yin was responsible for this. From the very beginning, Song Fan had anticipated this, so she didn’t feel sad about it..
