Chapter 149: Face the Consequences Yourself

The sudden turn of events left everyone on the set stunned.

Only Yun Fu, the person directly involved, remained composed. She slowly turned her head to glance at the two police officers, gave a nod to the director, and walked toward the police car. The two officers followed behind her, looking more like her subordinates than her captors.

As the car pulled away, the crew members had yet to recover from the shock.

The director was the first to regain his composure and immediately took control of the situation: "If today’s incident gets out, it will do our production no good at all. So, all of you had better keep your mouths shut, or you will face the consequences!"

With that warning, those who had been itching to spread the news thought better of it.

Except for one.

Qiu Fangfei handed her phone to her assistant, her eyes gleaming with the anticipation of a good show as she curled her lips into a smile. "Go ahead. Since she loves being a trending topic so much, let’s make sure she gets a proper one this time."

The assistant hesitated. "But, Miss Qiu, didn't the director tell us..."

Before she could finish, Qiu Fangfei cut her off with a fierce glare. "Is it the director who pays your salary, or is it me?"

The assistant dared not say another word and hurried off to do as she was told.

On the other side, the two police officers watched as Yun Fu sat in the car with a calm expression, closing her eyes to rest. She showed none of the tension or panic typically seen in those being taken to the station.

She didn't seem worried in the slightest.

However, thinking of the people waiting for her at the police station, they couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for the girl.

"We're here. Get out."

Hearing the voice, Yun Fu opened her eyes and stepped out of the car. The harsh sunlight made her squint slightly; she paused for a second before continuing on. Her gait was steady yet languid, as if she were walking home.

Pushing open the door, a flicker of amusement crossed Yun Fu's eyes. In her past life, she had loathed dealing with these righteous types; she never expected to find herself here, in this capacity.

As soon as she appeared, two women lunged at her, but Yun Fu easily sidestepped them.

These two were the mothers of the men Yun Fu had brutally beaten the other day.

Mrs. Xi, her face contorted in rage, pointed her red-manicured nails at Yun Fu like a vengeful spirit, clearly intending to rush over and scratch her face. "You vicious, low-down bitch! How dare you beat my son like that! You goddamn wretch, I will make you pay with your life!"

The other woman was not as unhinged, but the malice in her eyes was unmistakable. She gritted her teeth, and had she not been concerned with maintaining her status as a lady of high society, she would likely have been screaming obscenities just like the other one.

"Yun Fu! Do you have any idea that malicious assault carries a prison sentence? My son is still lying in the hospital! Do you really think you can get away with this?"

Faced with their threats and intimidation, Yun Fu remained entirely unfazed. She cast a cold glance at the police officers standing behind the two women and sneered inwardly.

She walked over to a chair nearby and hooked it with her foot, the wheeled chair sliding obediently into place behind her. She sat down slowly, rested her hands on the table, and looked up. For a moment, her aura of absolute authority left everyone present stunned.

What was wrong with this person? This was a police station, yet she was acting as if it were her own home.

She curled her lips, her exquisite face becoming even more dazzling. "Me? Beating your sons? Where is the proof?"

Mrs. Xi’s eyes turned bloodshot. She lunged forward like a madwoman, reaching out to grab Yun Fu’s hair, but Yun Fu tilted her head slightly and avoided her grasp.

"You damned bitch! Proof? You have the audacity to ask me for proof? Fine, you want proof? You’re at death’s door and still won’t admit it? Fine! Show her the evidence!"

A police officer behind them produced a laptop and pressed play. It showed the surveillance footage from the hotel corridor. Just by looking at it, it certainly appeared that Yun Fu was one-sidedly assaulting the two men.

"Well? Are you satisfied now? I’m telling you, now that you’ve stepped inside, don't dream of ever leaving! You wretched bitch, my son is still lying in the hospital, and I won't let you have it easy either!"

Yun Fu ignored her, though the temperature in her eyes grew colder. She tapped her fingers lightly against the table. It seemed they had made thorough preparations; they had even deleted the rest of the footage.

At that moment, another man, dressed in a suit rather than a uniform, walked in slowly. Seeing him, the group of police officers stood at attention.

The expressions of the two women shifted. "Director Li, you’ve come just in time. You must handle this matter with strict impartiality. You have to teach this woman a lesson!"

Li Wei nodded repeatedly. The two women before him were wives of prominent families in S City, and he could not afford to offend them. Although he didn't believe a young woman would attack two men for no reason, he sighed—she had simply picked the wrong people to offend.

Thinking this, Li Wei glanced in the other direction. He didn't see anyone looking particularly panicked; he only saw Yun Fu, sitting on the office chair with an air of immense dominance. Even though he had seen her in the surveillance footage, seeing her in person left the experienced Director Li truly stunned.

This girl was not only beautiful but possessed a unique temperament.

What a pity.

He walked toward her, his expression turning stern. "Miss Yun, now that we have both witness testimony and physical evidence, your involvement in intentional assault is undeniable. According to our laws, this carries a sentence of three to ten years in prison! Furthermore, you will be required to compensate the two victims for their medical expenses."

Upon hearing this, the two women began to clamor again.

"Director Li! My son has a concussion and multiple fractures all over his body; the doctors can't even guarantee there won't be long-term side effects! She should be locked up for life! How can you go easy on her?"

Director Li frowned. He had no desire to deal with women who only knew how to be unreasonable, but since they were elite socialites, he could only offer a polite smile.

"Mrs. Xi, Mrs. Huo, rest assured, we will punish her severely! But the law is the law, and the specific sentencing will depend on the recovery of your sons."

Throughout the exchange, Yun Fu remained lazily reclined in her chair, looking as if the matter had nothing to do with her and she was merely watching a show. Even the other officers couldn't help but be surprised. What was wrong with her? How could she act so unbothered, as if she weren't the one facing prison time?

Director Li waved his hand. "Yun Fu, you are suspected of intentional assault causing serious injury, so now—"

Within his line of sight, the girl suddenly stood up.

She swept a glance toward them with her beautiful eyes, causing him to swallow the rest of his words.

"Are you finished?" she asked coldly, a touch of sarcasm crossing her eyes. "It’s the first time I’ve heard that a person can be arrested and convicted based solely on a single surveillance video. Even a murderer is entitled to an explanation of their motive before being arrested."
