Chapter 2881 Locking in the Truth
Marcy's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Now???"
The public relations department replied: "Yes, we just received the news. After a series of investigations, we have found some valuable clues."
Law enforcement is now preparing to initiate formal subpoena procedures against John.
Marcy smiled, glanced at Charlene, and said in a light tone, "Looks like the show is finally about to begin."
Charlene perked up and pressed, "Have you found evidence?"
Marcy nodded, answering with certainty, "Obviously!"
……
Meanwhile, on the other side, John was being praised by a group of friends because of his comments on the internet.
Someone patted him on the shoulder and said, "John, you've spoken up for Ji-eun so publicly this time, she must have felt your sincerity, right? I hope this time, things will turn out well for you two."
Another person chimed in, saying, "If it were me, I would have already fallen for her and been smitten!"
"We're eagerly awaiting your good news. If you really do get together with Ji-eun, you absolutely have to treat us to a meal!"
John smiled and replied, "Definitely."
His face was radiant with warmth, and his brows exuded a spirited and confident air.
It seemed he was truly convinced that Lee Ji-eun was sticking with him.
But at that moment, several uniformed police officers walked in with stern expressions.
The lead officer showed his badge and said in a cold tone, "Mr. John, we have received a formal complaint that you are suspected of premeditated murder."
The relevant evidence has been collected. Now, please cooperate with our investigation and come with us.
John's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
He frowned, his tone tinged with confusion and helplessness, "Why are we being summoned again? We've already been summoned once before, and didn't we already prove my innocence then?"
The officer responded expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, if you have any objections to this summons, you can wait until we get to the police station to discuss it further."
Now, please do not obstruct us from performing our official duties.
After saying that, the lead officer gestured for his colleague to come forward and handcuff John.
And so, to the astonishment of his club colleagues, John was taken to the police car.
……
Later, footage of John being taken to the police station was filmed by someone and quickly spread online.
Major media outlets rushed to report on the video, which showed John walking into the police station with his head down, escorted by two police officers. This scene sparked widespread attention and heated discussion online.
The fans were immediately in an uproar when they saw it.
After all, just a second ago, they were still fighting and arguing with other netizens for John, full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm!
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this sudden news hit everyone like a heavy blow, leaving them dumbfounded.
"Oh ho, what did I say before? Some things you really shouldn't jump to conclusions about. If you speak too soon, you might end up being proven wrong!"
"Haha! John's fans must be in a lot of pain right now, right?"
"Does being summoned by the police mean that he might actually be suspected of premeditated murder?"
"You just make things up? Did the police say he committed murder? Don't spread rumors without solid evidence, or John will sue you for defamation!"
"Oh dear, I'm so scared, I'm terrified!"
"Go ahead and sue, but I'm afraid John won't have the chance; he'll just be stuck inside working the sewing machine."
"Comrades, based on my many years of experience navigating the internet world, I'm certain this matter will take a dramatic turn. Let's wait and see!"
"Assuming this is ultimately proven true, then John is truly wicked. To be a lowly sycophant, he would actually commit such a heinous act as premeditated murder?"
"A broken pot with a broken lid, what kind of good person can hang out with someone like Lee Ji-eun?"
The internet is now in an uproar, with all sorts of speculation flying around.
Charlene, on the other hand, was also eager to know the specific truth of the matter.
Coincidentally, everyone in the family group chat was asking about the progress of Shi Ye's matter.
Tokino gave a very clear answer: "The police have found key evidence that proves that John's hitting of Charlene was premeditated."
The police seem to have obtained a crucial recording, enough to pinpoint the truth!
Meanwhile, Charlene also received a call from the police.
The police officer on the other end of the phone spoke gently but with a hint of formality, "Ms. Charlene, there's been some progress on the matter of you being hit by a car."
If it's convenient, could you please come to the police station as soon as possible to cooperate with further communication and confirmation?
Upon hearing that it was about the progress of this matter, Charlene felt both nervous and expectant, and naturally replied without hesitation, "It's convenient, I'll be right there."
Upon hearing the conversation, Masie immediately said with concern, "I'll have Shi Ye go with you."
As she spoke, she took out her phone and quickly contacted Shi Ye.
After all, Tokino was also one of the parties involved in this matter.
After the call was connected, Marcy briefly explained the situation.
Upon hearing this, Shi Ye immediately replied, "Okay, I'll head to the school to pick her up right now, and we'll go to the police station together."
His tone was decisive and swift, revealing the importance he attached to this matter.
After hanging up the phone, Marcy patted Charlene with a smile and said in a teasing tone, "Hurry up and get ready to go to the school gate to greet your crush!"
Charlene couldn't help but laugh at what she said, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
She hurriedly ate a few bites of lunch, tidied up her things, and then said goodbye to Marcy before leaving.
Shi Ye arrived very quickly, and soon he was at the school gate.
Charlene jogged up to meet her, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, they headed straight for the police station.
Although the atmosphere in the car was somewhat serious throughout the journey, Shi Ye occasionally said a few gentle words, which made Xia Lin, who was originally a little uneasy, relax a lot.
The matter is finally about to be resolved.
Shi Ye will no longer have to bear the infamy.
When they arrived at the police station, the coaches from both clubs had already arrived.
In addition, it also includes a group of people who attended the racetrack back then.
Anyone connected to this incident was summoned and questioned.
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat somber, and everyone's expression was different.
John looked pale and his expression was not good.
His eyes darted around, his brows furrowed, and he exuded an undisguised panic.
However, the moment his eyes met Shino's, he quickly adjusted his posture, straightened his back, and deliberately put on a calm and composed appearance in an attempt to cover up his inner unease.
As for Lee Ji-eun standing to the side, she also showed a clear sense of guilt, her eyes lowered from time to time, as if she was hiding something and dared not make eye contact with anyone.
