958 Please Show Some Mercy

Shen Hanxing laughed, “Shen Sisi, did I intentionally make you wait for me outside the police station? Did I make you start the livestream? Did I make you slander Han Yin in the livestream?” It’s ridiculous. When she first saw Shen Sisi, she had no intention of dealing with her. It was Shen Sisi who approached her, blocked her way, and initiated the bet. Shen Sisi continuously guided the livestream viewers to believe that Han Yin was the real culprit and should receive proper punishment.

If anything, Shen Hanxing simply took advantage of the situation and presented evidence to refute Shen Sisi’s claims.

“When did presenting the truth become considered ruthless?” Shen Hanxing crossed her arms and sneered, “Shen Sisi, you are as foolish as ever.”

“Mrs. Ji…” The assistant, who had been invisible by the side, responsible for managing the livestream equipment, couldn’t help but speak up. She inwardly lamented her situation. She had been assigned to Shen Sisi by Zhan Cangqiong to take care of Shen Sisi’s reputation and protect her. However, now that Zhan Cangqiong was not in China and the influence of the Zhan family was also absent, the assistant couldn’t fathom how to resolve the current predicament. She was just a lowly assistant.

The assistant couldn’t believe that Shen Sisi had caused such a big trouble within less than half a month since Zhan Cangqiong’s departure. If she let Shen Sisi be taken to the police station without intervening, Zhan Cangqiong would not spare her when he returned.

With a brave face, the assistant struggled to force a smile, “According to the bet, Shen Sisi will receive a significant lesson. Mrs. Ji, as a mature person, you don’t need to bother with her. You are broad-minded, and it’s not necessary to involve the police over such a trivial matter… Besides, you and Shen Sisi are sisters after all, sharing half of the same blood. You’re close relatives. Shen Sisi has been indulged since childhood and can’t handle hardship. Please show some mercy. I can have Sisi apologize to you. Would that be acceptable?”

“Who said I should apologize to her?” Shen Sisi, hearing those words, immediately refused without hesitation, “The bet was about apologizing to Han Yin, and I will do that. But when did I say I should apologize to Shen Hanxing? I haven’t done anything wrong to her!” It would be more unbearable for her to surrender to Shen Hanxing than to be killed!

In Shen Sisi’s mind, apologizing to Han Yin was already humiliating enough. But given the urgency of the situation, she had no choice but to apologize. However, apologizing to Shen Hanxing was out of the question. She considered Shen Hanxing her lifelong enemy. How could she lower herself to her enemy?

Upon hearing Shen Sisi’s words, the assistant wanted to cover Shen Sisi’s mouth. She desperately thought inwardly, “Can’t you just shut up? The situation is already difficult enough! What else do you want? It’s just an apology. Is it more embarrassing than going to the police station?”

The assistant wanted to salvage the situation, but Shen Hanxing interrupted her, raising her hand. “It seems that Shen Sisi hasn’t realized her mistake yet,” she said with a mocking smile, looking at the assistant. “You don’t have to put me on a pedestal. Forgiveness may be a virtue, but unfortunately, I don’t possess that virtue.” Besides, dealing with someone like Shen Sisi didn’t require any virtue.

Shen Hanxing continued, “And don’t say that Shen Sisi and I are sisters. I don’t like to hear that. A bastard born from an affair, do you think she is worthy of being compared to me?” Her disdain was evident, and the assistant’s heart grew more bitter, not knowing how to react.

Shen Sisi’s face turned pale, and she could hardly control her emotions. She shouted, “Shen Hanxing, you’ve gone too far! Who are you calling a bastard! Now my mother is the legitimate Mrs. Shen!”

“Does covering up the truth after the fact make everything fine?” Shen Hanxing glanced at Shen Sisi indifferently. “Even if you are now considered legitimate, I still don’t want to consider you as my sister. I find you repulsive.” Her contempt was unmistakable.

Shen Hanxing turned to the police officer and asked, “The livestream has recordings, and the evidence is all there. Can we take Miss Shen Sisi with us now?”

The police officer nodded. “Of course, Miss Shen Sisi, please come with us to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.”

Shen Sisi’s expression twisted.

The assistant also grew anxious and quickly spoke up, “Officer, Sisi is still livestreaming. This isn’t appropriate, right? Look, Sisi didn’t intentionally spread false rumors. She was deceived too. Could you please consider the circumstances?”

“Since there has been a report, it is the duty of the police to investigate and determine the truth,” the police officer said sternly. “If Miss Shen Sisi is innocent, we will clear her name.”
