The Seductive Wife Kisses and Teases While His Black-Bellied Childhood Friend Spoils Him Crazy - Chapter 20

Throughout her narration, Xiao Mei emphasized how pitiable she was. She painted herself as a hardworking, well-behaved, and fragile girl who worked multiple jobs just to support her family. When she started crying, it was difficult for anyone to remain unmoved; her performance was incredibly persuasive.

In stark contrast, Song Shidu appeared as a glamorous, well-dressed member of the elite. One glance at him suggested he was not lacking in money, leading onlookers to assume that this must be his fault. In modern society, people often side with the perceived weaker group, blinded by a misplaced sense of justice. Regardless of the truth, they felt that if Song Shidu were targeted, he must have done something to deserve it. Why pick him instead of someone else? Therefore, he had to be in the wrong. This was the classic theory of victim-blaming.

The police, however, were not influenced by this sentiment. They conducted their business impartially and asked sternly, “Song Shidu, do you have any recollection of the events she described from last night?”

The man who had been sitting in the shadows, silent for so long, finally moved. “Of course not.”

Song Shidu had been listening to Xiao Mei’s heart-wrenching accusations of his alleged crimes. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at her with a calm expression, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “I forced you last night?”

Xiao Mei’s eyes darted around briefly before she gritted her teeth and nodded heavily. “Yes!”

“There is no surveillance. How can you prove it?”

“I am not related to you in any way. Why would I need to slander you? I am still an innocent young woman!”

“Oh. You work several jobs a day. It is not easy for you.”

Xiao Mei froze upon hearing this sympathetic remark, frowning as she failed to follow his lead.

Song Shidu suddenly turned to the officer. “Are my pheromones on her body?”

The officer replied, “The hospital is already verifying that.”

Song Shidu’s wolf-like eyes slowly shifted back to Xiao Mei’s face. The smile in his eyes remained as he spoke in a measured tone, “You say you hate me intensely and that I forced you. Let me ask a few questions. Since you claim I dragged you into the room against your will, you should have resisted with all your might. Did anyone on that floor hear the sound of a struggle?”

Xiao Mei’s voice faltered. “It was so late! Everyone was asleep!”

“Hotel surveillance is usually very important. Why did it just happen to be damaged last night?”

Xiao Mei spoke with a sob in her voice, “That is not something I could have predicted. If I had known this would happen, I would not have come.”

“You said you work several jobs a day. What are those jobs? Since you suddenly did not show up for work last night, why has no one contacted you?”

The girl remained silent.

“As a cleaner, you should have a key card to enter the rooms. It would have been easy for you to enter while I was asleep last night. Check her phone. I believe everything will become clear at a glance.”

With just a few simple counterarguments, Xiao Mei was left with nothing to say. She lowered her head like a quail, losing the pitiable, tear-streaked look she had moments ago. Instead, her face turned incredibly pale.

Seeing this, the officer understood what was happening. Such a clumsy framing attempt could not withstand even a basic investigation. A simple check would reveal how transparent the setup was. However, what remained puzzling was why Xiao Mei had done it. Was she too overconfident, thinking the frame-up would succeed, or was there some compelling reason that forced her to use such a crude method?

At that moment, two professional-looking men entered. The leader was an older man with a serious air, the CEO of the company. Beside him was another man wearing a suit quite similar to Song Shidu’s. He looked like he was on top of the world, with a hint of gloating and triumph even in his brow. Despite the expensive clothes, when compared to Song Shidu, one could only describe him as a dog in human clothing.

As soon as Xiao Shuai entered, he shook his head with indignation. “Song Shidu, how could you do something so foolish?”

Before he could finish, Song Shidu turned his gaze toward him. “Although the method was low-end, the effect was achieved.”

Regardless of whether Song Shidu was innocent, the company would not let him continue with the project for the sake of their public image. This meant the money he was supposed to receive had vanished, handed over to someone else on a silver platter.

Sure enough, the moment the CEO learned the news this morning, he found it hard to believe Song Shidu would do such a thing. But because the company valued the partnership, he was forced to let Xiao Shuai take over the position. He had likely come to inform Song Shidu to go home for a while to avoid the controversy.

The curl at the corner of Xiao Shuai’s mouth could not be suppressed. The malice in his eyes was practically overflowing.

Just then, Xiao Mei’s parents started a scene again. They pointed at Song Shidu and shouted, “What nonsense are you talking about! You dare say you did nothing to my child while you were drunk? She is an Omega! What was she doing lying on an Alpha’s bed if nothing happened!”

Song Shidu looked up. “About that, you will have to ask her. I am also very curious. What could possibly be so important that she had to risk entering my room?”

Xiao Mei trembled, biting her lip and remaining silent.

Song Shidu gave a light laugh. “Besides, I have a boyfriend.” He was about to explain that he had no interest in others.

“Shidu!”

Suddenly, a familiar and urgent voice came from outside.

Song Shidu’s expression stiffened. His eyes widened, and his slumped posture instantly straightened. He no longer looked like the calm and composed man from a moment ago.

Jiang Ningxun rushed in, looking for him desperately. The moment he saw Song Shidu, he threw himself into his arms and shook him. “Are you okay! Are you hurt anywhere! Did she do anything to you! Why are you not saying anything? I am really worried!”

Song Shidu was shaken until he was dizzy and had no chance to speak. The others watching felt a bit embarrassed. If anyone was in trouble, it was surely Xiao Mei.

It took Song Shidu grabbing his shoulders to stop the over-excited fox. He gently rubbed Jiang Ningxun’s fox ears and said, “I am fine. I am standing right here.”

Hearing those words, Jiang Ningxun’s eyes turned red instantly. His bristled fox tail gradually softened. He hugged Song Shidu, constantly rubbing against his cheek to feel reassured.

Song Shidu did not want others to see him like this. Adopting a protective stance, he said, “Since this matter still requires investigation, we will head back and wait.”

The officer nodded. “You may.”

At this, Xiao Shuai spoke up, “Wait, wait! That is it? Who is this guy?”

Jiang Ningxun, with red eyes, said firmly, “We are a couple. I am his boyfriend.”

The parents heard this and immediately found a new angle. They shouted, “Then you do not know! He actually did that kind of thing to my daughter! Is he even human! He”

“I believe him.”

Jiang Ningxun’s tone was firm, without a hint of hesitation. He then turned to the officer. “I have a video recording from last night. I can prove that he fell asleep as soon as he returned to the room. Therefore, this lady’s claim that he forced her into the room is completely false!”

As he spoke, he showed the video on his phone to the officer. Not only was the truth revealed, but everyone presents also received a heavy dose of public affection.

The officer cleared his throat. “Understood. We will investigate this matter strictly. We will not let an innocent person be wronged, nor will we let a culprit go free.”

Afterward, Song Shidu held Jiang Ningxun as they walked out of the police station. He gently patted his back. “Alright, I am really fine. Why are you still crying?”

Jiang Ningxun looped his arms around Song Shidu’s neck and gave his shoulder a light punch. His voice choked with emotion. “I was just scared! Next time, I am definitely not letting you drink. Otherwise, you would not have encountered something like this.”

Song Shidu rubbed his hair and said gently, “Do you really believe me that much?”

“If I do not believe you, am I supposed to believe her?” Jiang Ningxun said, sounding a bit annoyed.

Song Shidu asked, “Then you are not going to ask if anything really happened between her and me last night?”

“Well, did anything happen between you and her?”

“I promise, nothing happened.”

“Then I believe you.”

The two looked at each other and smiled.
