At Lexingport City's police station
Vivian's expression dulled as she wondered how the police caught her so easily.
It seemed as if the people she trusted all betrayed her and set a trap for her to walk right into.
First, Mr. Yuan was actually Noah. Then, the police knew her escape route.
'Was it Tim who betrayed me?
No way!
If Tim betrayed me, half of his clubs would be closed by the government. His losses would be a lot more than just a few million dollars.'
Knowing that Tim was a selfish man, Vivian thought that he could not have done something that would put him at a loss.
However, she could not think of anyone else who could have done it.
As she sat in the interrogation room, Vivian kept wiping her sweaty palms, feeling nervous.
She heard someone push the room door open and enter the room. Noah was standing outside the room with the others, watching her. Vivian began frantically explaining, "Ma'am, I think you've misunderstood. I haven't smuggled any drugs and I know nothing."
"All right." With a frown, the policewoman pulled up a chair and sat across Vivian. "I am with neither the anti-narcotics department nor the criminal investigation department."
"What do you mean?" Vivian asked with an awkward smile, clenching her fists.
The policeman who was recording the interrogation session spoke. "She is from the economic crime investigation department."
Vivian looked at her with confusion as she gulped hard. She tried her best not to seem anxious as that would give her away.
"I don't understand. What is this about?" she asked.
Since the policewoman had seen criminals who were unwilling to admit their crimes, she did not lose her calm. Instead, she calmly reminded her, "Vivian, you should cooperate with us. We have testimony as well as solid evidence that could prove that you are a drug dealer. Now, there's no way for you to escape, so why don't you cooperate with us? Tell us about how you embezzled funds from the Ye Group and got people to cover it with false accounts. Once you're done explaining that to me, the criminal investigator will be taking over."
"What the hell do you mean? Don't make any accusations without proof!" Vivian roared as she slammed her fists on the desk.
Although she seemed aggressive, her face paled from the fear and her hands could not stop trembling.
Noah could not bear to watch it anymore, so he walked to the staircase to have a smoke. He stood there for a while, lost in thought.
He kept smoking one cigarette after the other until the floor under his feet was filled with the cigarette butts.
Rayden walked to him with a glass of warm water in his hand and said, "Captain Ye, it's not good for you to smoke that much. Here, please have some water. It will help soothe your throat."
Noah glanced at Rayden and took a sip of the water after he threw the cigarette butt into the cup, extinguishing it.
"How's the interrogation going?" Noah asked.
"Regardless of their questioning, she was unwilling to admit anything. The evidence that your brother collected cannot be used unless we find the person who was responsible for creating those false accounts for her," Rayden replied as he stared out of the window, looking at the skyscrapers in front of them.
A frown appeared on Noah's face as he asked, "Did that person escape from us?"
"Yes." That moment, Rayden received a phone call. His expression darkened.
Just when Noah was about to ask him if something had gone wrong, Rayden turned around and gave him a smile.
"We have evidence, Captain Ye. Someone has sent us the evidence. Let's go check it out."
Soon, they heard Vivian's loud roar. "Jennifer, how could you betray me? Don't you remember that I was the one who saved you? If it weren't for me, you'd still be stuck in that mental hospital, screaming your lungs out. How could you dare to betray me, the one who saved your life?"
