Chapter 698: Chapter 698: Tang Xiaoli, Trafficked and Smiling
Upon learning that the perpetrator and the victim conspired to traffick a girl to Las Vegas to become a Dancer, the plan was inadvertently exposed, leading to internal conflicts and mutual harm. The two police officers interrogating Ethan looked at each other, unsure of how to summarize the case.
So, it turns out that both were criminals, with another person being the victim.
Ethan sat at the end of the table with his hands cuffed tightly together, his expression tense, “Officers, you must protect me. If necessary, I can testify in court against Lai Shengxia!”
The two officers opposite him: “…”
This case has attracted public attention, and the police launched an investigation overnight. Based on the statements from the criminal suspects, Tang Li also received a call from the police.
The next morning, Tang Li accompanied by Yu Sui, went to the police station to assist in the investigation.
There were reporters squatting outside the police station.
Even though Tang Li was wearing a mask, she was still recognized.
No matter how the reporters chased and asked, Tang Li did not speak, stepping out of the nanny van, she kept her hand over half of her face the whole time.
Despite this, Tang Li’s appearance was enough to generate significant public discourse.
Tang Li gave her statement at the police station.
In her statement, she detailed how she met Ethan, including their subsequent interactions.
When asked by a policewoman if she knew Lai Shengxia, Tang Li paused for a moment before saying, “After my mother passed away, I moved to the Capital to live with a relative. Actually, I should call Lai Shengxia my sister.”
When asked if she had any unpleasant experiences with Lai Shengxia, Tang Li replied, “My sister has always been nice to me, always bringing me gifts from abroad, but… my relationship with Yuanyuan isn’t very close.”
The police naturally knew who Yuanyuan, mentioned by Tang Li, was.
After leaving the inquiry room, Tang Li immediately messaged Lai Wenyan.
Lai Wenyan was at the hospital when he received the message.
In the message, Tang Li said that the police had asked her to give a statement in the morning, persistently asking about her relationship with Lai Shengxia, and she didn’t know what had happened but tried to speak positively as much as she could.
Lai Wenyan already knew what was happening.
Last night, the police had visited the hospital.
This had also turned Lai Shengxia from a victim to a suspect in a trafficking case.
The very subject of trafficking was surprisingly Tang Li!
After hearing this, Lai Wenyan’s face turned a mixture of red and white. If the situation had allowed, he would have lost his temper!
Now, seeing Tang Li’s text and knowing she didn’t speak out of turn at the police station, Lai Wenyan’s expression softened, and he made a call.
This call was mostly soothing in tone.
“That person who stabbed your sister have a history with her, a few years ago your sister went on vacation to Las Vegas, and through friends, met this Ethan from the United States. He claimed to come from a notable family but was actually a member of the local famed fraud gang. If it wasn’t for the police investigation, your sister and aunt would still be kept in the dark.”
Tang Li sat in the nanny car, listening to Lai Wenyan defend her, her lips curved slightly: “So it was an organized fraud gang, no wonder they could fool aunt and sister.”
Lai Wenyan continued, “The scam he was pulling at your school was exposed, he latched onto your sister, wanting her to help him fix his troubles back home, she refused, and he bore a grudge, leading to what happened yesterday morning.”
In a few words, Lai Shengxia was made the victim again.
Tang Li didn’t respond to Lai Wenyan’s words, she only said, “I’m now a public figure; it’s not convenient for me to visit sister, please send her my regards, dad.”
