Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

Two law enforcement officers stepped into the private room.

One of them showed his identification, his gaze sweeping across the room.

"Who called the police? What happened at the scene?"

The momentary tremor in Basil's eyes came quickly and went even faster.

In just one second, he completely suppressed all his unusual emotions.

He quickly regained his composure, showing no sign of panic.

He knows this process all too well.

On-site questioning, taking written statements, and cooperating with the investigation.

Ordinary people fear the outcome, but he doesn't.

His family background speaks for itself, and his legal team is on call around the clock.

As long as it's not a current serious crime, it can be peeled away layer by layer and resolved in accordance with regulations.

He neither dodged nor avoided, but took the initiative to step forward.

They didn't experience the anxiety, tension, and guilt that ordinary people feel when facing law enforcement investigations.

His posture was relaxed, even carrying a hint of condescending indifference.

Before anyone could reply, he turned his head and fixed his gaze on Zhang Yifan.

His tone was laced with mockery.

"You don't naively think that calling law enforcement will have any real impact on me, do you?"

"Some methods work on ordinary people, but they don't work on me."

This wasn't just empty boasting; it was his genuine confidence.

Looking at his confident demeanor, Zhang Yifan smiled and looked extremely relaxed.

"If it doesn't work, let's give it a try."

"Once you've gone through all the procedures, you'll naturally understand what I plan to do next."

Upon hearing this, Basil immediately scoffed.

"Playing tricks."

He didn't believe deep down that Zhang Yifan had some amazing hidden trick up his sleeve.

In his mind, the worst outcome of tonight's match would be to cooperate with the questioning.

With the involvement of a legal team, all the clues can be sorted out quickly.

By minimizing all impacts, his foundation will not be harmed at all.

He doesn't care about losing a company, and an investigation is nothing to him.

Basil was so engrossed in his own sense of superiority that he paid no attention to the actions of those around him.

When questioned by law enforcement officers, Zhang Yifan stepped forward.

Their posture was upright, their coordination was proper, and there was not the slightest bit of resistance.

"I called the police."

The law enforcement officers fixed their gaze on him and continued with the routine procedures.

"Please briefly explain the specifics."

Zhang Yifan spoke at a steady pace, with clear logic and every sentence focused on the key points.

"Tonight, during a class reunion dinner, my girlfriend was maliciously framed by someone."

"The other party deliberately used illegal means in an attempt to maliciously infringe upon my girlfriend's personal rights."

"I have a complete video record of the whole process, and many people present at the time can testify to it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his phone and handed it over.

The law enforcement officer took the phone and quickly browsed the verification page.

The more they looked, the more serious their expressions became. When they received the report, they thought it was just a dispute between ordinary classmates.

In retrospect, this was not a simple squabble between classmates or a personal conflict.

It is a malicious crime that was planned and deliberately orchestrated in advance, and its nature is completely different!

They looked at the group of college students, all around eighteen or nineteen years old, and couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and reflection).

Kids these days are really being tortured!

Basil, who was standing nearby, heard all of this conversation clearly, but remained completely unmoved.

In his mind, no matter how much evidence there is, it's useless.

If he wants to get away with it, his legal team and network of contacts can cover up his wrongdoing.

His privileged family background made him take the investigation lightly from the bottom of his heart.

On the other hand, Su Man's mentality had completely collapsed.

Of everyone present, she was the only one completely enveloped by extreme panic.

Basil has a family background, resources, and a way out, so what if she's investigated?

She has nothing!

He came from an ordinary family, with no background, no connections, and no safety net.

Once the illegal act is confirmed, it will leave a lifelong stain on one's record.

Even the Tsinghua University admission qualification earned through more than ten years of hard study will be directly invalidated!

Their future education, job prospects, and life path are all completely ruined.

Overwhelming despair instantly consumed all her reason.

She dared not look directly at the law enforcement officers, nor at anyone else present.

Her last remaining will to survive made her stare intently at Shen Zhiyi.

She rushed forward, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Zhiyi, I know I was wrong! Please forgive me!"

"I studied hard for more than ten years and finally got into Tsinghua University."

"If I'm taken away for investigation, my life will be completely ruined!"

This was her last straw.

She bet that Shen Zhiyi would soften her heart and give her a break online for the sake of her roommate.

Shen Zhiyi watched quietly as she lost control, broke down, and pleaded desperately.

His eyes were completely expressionless, devoid of sympathy or reassurance.

She shook her head gently, her tone calm yet incredibly firm.

"Those who do wrong should accept the corresponding punishment."

That one short sentence shattered all of Su Man's last illusions.

Su Man's body suddenly went limp, and her eyes instantly became empty and lifeless.

All the strength in my body was instantly drained, and I was standing on the verge of collapse.

Her last hope was completely dashed.

Pleading for mercy is useless, admitting mistakes is useless, and playing the victim is even more useless.

At that moment, she completely fell into the abyss of despair.

Basil clearly saw Su Man's distraught appearance.

His mind raced, and he instantly determined the best way to break the deadlock.

He is not afraid of investigation and accountability, but there is no need for him to needlessly invite trouble upon himself.

He can get away cleanly and unscathed as long as he severs all ties.

While law enforcement officers were still on site investigating details and registering basic information, they took advantage of the opportunity.

Basil deliberately lowered his body and quietly moved closer to Suman's side.

The voice was kept extremely low, and only two people could hear it clearly.

"Listen carefully, when we ask you questions, take full responsibility for everything."

"I insist that it was all your own doing and had nothing to do with anyone else."

"As long as you take full responsibility for the crime, I will never treat you unfairly."

People in dire straits never question whether a lifeline is genuine or not.

Even if it's just a bubble, I'll hold on to it with all my might.

A faint glimmer of light instantly appeared in Su Man's empty eyes.

This is her only chance to turn things around, her only way out.

With a trembling voice, she cautiously asked to confirm.

"Is it true, Young Master Luo?"

Basil spoke with certainty and without the slightest hesitation, offering her full assurance.

"I promise."

Those three simple words sustained Su Man's fragile mental state, which was on the verge of collapse.

She struggled briefly for two seconds before finally gritting her teeth and making up her mind.

She is now desperate and has no other choice but to gamble on basil's reputation.

"Fine! I'll do everything myself!"

She wanted to take all the blame, hoping to exchange her own sacrifice for a chance to survive.

Zhang Yifan witnessed the entire secret transaction between the two.

Zhang Yifan remained silent, observing the entire process quietly.

His eyes held a detached, spectator's attitude.

He neither pointed it out, nor interrupted, nor gave any advance warning.

The story only becomes truly exciting when a false promise is completely shattered.

After the on-site investigation was completed, law enforcement officers spoke up at the appropriate time.

"The relevant individuals involved in the case, please come with us to the police station for separate statements."

Basil cooperated throughout, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.

There was not a trace of resistance, nor any hint of panic.

He didn't look like he was being questioned; he looked more like he was being invited to afternoon tea.

Before leaving, he paused and turned to look at Zhang Yifan.

His gaze was icy and chilling, carrying a strong sense of warning.

"I'll remember this debt."

Zhang Yifan merely raised an eyebrow slightly, offering no further response.

Seeing Zhang Yifan's nonchalant demeanor, Luo Le's anger grew even stronger.

He had already begun to plan his revenge.

Once he gets out of there, he'll have plenty of time, connections, and resources to get his revenge.

Commercial suppression and media control are just some of the many tactics employed.

He only spent ten million to acquire a controlling stake in Suyuan. Can he be as rich as my dad?

No matter how powerful your connections are, are they as powerful as my dad?!

Do you really think that Suyuan Technology is his biggest trump card? That would be a gross underestimation of him, the biggest playboy in Beijing!

Let Zhang Yifan be smug for a while; Su Yuan will be his sooner or later!

We await his triumphant return.

He wanted to make Zhang Yifan cry and admit defeat, so that he could reclaim the Suyuan Technology that belonged to him.

Shen Zhiyi will belong to him sooner or later.

He wanted Zhang Yifan to stand aside...

Thinking of this, a cold smile involuntarily crept onto Basil's lips.

Those around looked over in the direction of the sound and found the person's expression inscrutable and their thoughts unfathomable.

Meanwhile, Su Man, like a puppet on a string who had lost her soul, silently followed behind the group.

He was in a daze, his eyes unfocused and empty.

Basil's solemn promise kept echoing in my mind.

She was full of hope, certain that the other party would keep their promise and pull her out of trouble.

The group left with the law enforcement officers, and the door to the private room slowly closed.

The tense and frozen atmosphere inside the private room finally began to dissipate.

The suffocating and oppressive feeling that had lingered all night gradually faded away.

Inside the private room, only Zhang Yifan and his group remained.

Zhao Peng let out a long sigh, his face full of regret.

"This basil is really outrageous. She's not worried at all about losing the company. Her family background is really strong."

An ordinary person would have completely broken down by now.

Liu Fei was still shaken and sighed softly.

"Thinking about it now, it's terrifying. Su Man really had no bottom line when it came to currying favor with powerful people."

Such ruthless methods are truly chilling.

Xia Ran also felt a wave of fear and agreed.

"Luckily, she didn't succeed at all, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to defend against it."

After a few brief reflections, the private room returned to silence.

Shen Zhiyi turned to look at Zhang Yifan.

She had witnessed the scene of Basil urging Su Man to take the blame alone.

"Yifan, with Suman's voluntary confession, plus Luo Le's family background."

I'm afraid basil won't stay inside for long.

The words fell.

Zhao Peng, Liu Fei, and Xia Ran all turned their heads at the same time, their eyes falling on Zhang Yifan.

The same question arose in everyone's mind.

Zhang Yifan smiled faintly.

"I know he won't be detained for long."

But what I need is the gap during which he was taken away for questioning.

Take advantage of this time to completely win over and subdue the partners of Suyuan, and complete the internal power reshuffle.

"He'll understand something when he walks out of the police station."

"The company he founded, Suyuan Technology, has had absolutely no connection with him since then."
