Pei Xin’s words shocked Ling Xue. She wanted to retort, but she immediately covered her mouth.
‘Ling Lin is missing?’ She thought to herself.
Maybe the heavens could not bear to see Pei Xin’s life going so smoothly and wanted to ruin it.
Hearing her silence, Pei Xin assumed that Ling Xue was deliberately making her anxious by not saying a thing. “Ling Xue, where is my son? You can’t just kidnap children, that’s a crime! I’ll call the police on you.”
“And what will they do?” Ling Xue snorted. “What evidence do you have that I kidnapped your son? Do you think that you will be able to catch me, the only daughter of the Pei family?” Her voice started to change. “Didn’t you just try to sue me for selling fake goods? Well, guess what, I’m still in the VIP ward enjoying the best medical treatment here. I’m a precious asset… The police won’t dare go against me.”
Pei Xin’s heart turned cold when she thought of Annie’s words. It was true to a certain extent — the police couldn’t do anything to these people.
“What do you want? Ling Lin is my only hope. If you dare lay a finger on him, I will fight you to the ends of the Earth!” Pei Xin knew that her words were not enough, but she still had to say it.
She had a surge of adrenaline and felt fearless. If something happened to Ling Lin, she would definitely think of a way to tear these people apart.
As expected, Ling Xue laughed at the statement. Chill out. My parents have a pitiful heart. If you want to find your son, come to Brilliant Nightclub.”
She hung up the phone, not giving Pei Xin a chance to ask any more questions.
Pei Xin closed her eyes and said to the driver, “Sir, please go to Brilliant Nightclub.”
She quickly sent a message to Ling Jin and asked him to wait at home. She didn’t want him to get into more trouble. There were some things that she had to face alone.
Although it was late at night, the nightclub was bustling with people.
This was a red-light district. Many men and women came here for pleasure.
Although Pei Xin was still wearing the shirt she wore during the live, she still looked beautiful with makeup on. She managed to turn many heads walking in. Immediately, a man in a red shirt walked over. “Miss Pei? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you take so long?”
He put his arms around Pei Xin’s shoulders.
Pei Xin wanted to break free, but the man whispered in her ear, “If you want to see your son, follow me.”
Pei Xin could only endure her disgust and follow the man to a private room. There were three other men inside — all looking at Pei Xin with ill intentions.
She grimaced and wanted to leave, but the man in the red shirt blocked her way. “Miss Pei, are you really going to leave your son alone like that? Don’t worry, we won’t do anything to you. Your recent live has embarrassed some people, so we need you to amend that.”
The man took out his phone and pointed it at her. “There are some things that can be more useful if you clarify them.”
“What’s there to explain?” Pei Xin looked at these people warily, but she roughly understood what they meant.
The only person who had a conflict of interest with her was Ling Xue. The clarification was probably related to the matter of selling fake goods.
“Stop pretending. You and Manager Wang conspired to frame Miss Ling Xue. You deliberately let her sell fake goods and forced PD to sue her.” The man smiled maliciously. “Manager Wang has already admitted it. As long as you admit it too, your son will safely come back to you.”
“Who is Manager Wang? I don’t know him at all.” Pei Xin tried her best to lean against the wall to distance herself from those men. “It was Ling Xue who sold the fake goods. This matter has nothing to do with me. Besides, I didn’t know she would sell PD products. I can’t admit to something I didn’t do.”
She couldn’t admit it. Once she did, not only would she be affected, but Jiang Yan’s company and Lu Corporation would also be affected.
She knew that these people would not let her off easily, so she continued to explain, “I have two big companies backing me. If you’re asking me to lie, they will never let Ling Xue off. The police will investigate too. No matter what 1 say, the lie will definitely be exposed.”
These hooligans were hired by Ling Xue, so how would they know about this? They would do whatever Ling Xue told them to do once they were paid.
The red shirt pinched Pei Xin’s chin hard. “Are you going to confess or not? If you want your son to live well, you’d better cooperate. Otherwise, even if he does come back to you, I can’t guarantee that he won’t lose an arm or a leg!”
Hearing his words, Pei Xin’s entire body trembled and tears flowed down.
“Alright, i’ll do it,” she said in despair..
