Now, Lord Shen finally knew what had happened.
He couldn't believe that Amy was capable of doing such a crazy thing.
He then seriously asked Sarah again, "Sarah, tell me the truth. Did you take part in that thing?"
"No, Grandfather. I didn't know anything about it until Amy had told me recently. At that time, a fake Linda appeared at the Mu clan's house."
Sarah didn't dare tell a lie because she was beginning to be scared.
"Did Amy hire that fake Linda with the same appearance as Linda to pretend to be the real Linda?"
"No. Amy told me that she was deceived by someone, but I don't know what exactly happened."
Lord Shen was an old man who had experienced a lot. He knew that it was a very complicated matter, with many things involved in it. Aside from the Qi clan, there must have been someone else who controlled and intervened in the matter.
Lord Shen took a deep breath and helped Sarah get back up on her feet. "Sarah, listen. You are my only granddaughter, so I don't want you to get involved in these things anymore. This matter is too complicated. When you go to the Qi clan's house later, I will send some people to protect you. They have moved to another house now, and you can visit Amy there to check if she is fine. If she is well, you should come back at once. You don't have to say anything to persuade her. And, you'd better not meet her in the future."
Sarah and Amy were good friends since childhood. Lord Shen also knew that Sarah sincerely regarded Amy as her best friend.
But Amy didn't treat Sarah the same way.
They played together when they were young. A child wouldn't always notice many things or read other people's mind, but Lord Shen, as an adult and a bystander, knew everything. As he saw the two girls playing happily, he didn't have the heart to meddle with his granddaughter's friendship with Amy.
"Okay, Grandfather. I promise you that I won't do anything bad again."
"Our clan have been in public security for generations, and you should realise that you are the only female police of our clan. Do you know what policemen should do? Do you realise that you can't become a police any longer because of what you had done?"
Sarah lowered her head and didn't say anything.
She wasn't a bad person. She had only been used and taken advantage of.
Lord Shen told two of his capable men to go with Sarah to the place where Amy and her parents were living temporarily.
After Sarah had arrived and had seen their current house, she couldn't help but cry.
Although the Qi clan's previous house wasn't particularly large, it was a good villa equipped with a swimming pool, a garden, and other kinds of facilities.
However, now, they were only living in an apartment with two rooms and one living room.
Sarah thought that Amy must not have gotten used to this small house. It was smaller and less comfortable than their previous one.
But they couldn't go back to their previous villa any longer.
Sarah came to the door and knocked on it, while asking the two men sent by her grandfather to stand back and wait for her at a distance.
She didn't want them to startle the Qi clan's members.
Amanda answered the door. She was a little surprised to see Sarah.
Amanda asked, "Why are you here, Sarah?"
"Hi, Mrs. Qi. I called Amy earlier, but I found that her phone was powered off. I'm a little worried about her, so I came here to visit her. If I see that she is fine, I will leave."
After she heard Sarah, Amanda was touched. She thought about how her daughter was so lucky to have such a nice, good friend who always cared about her. Over these years, Amanda was grateful to Sarah for treating her daughter right.
Sarah was indeed so nice to Amy.
