Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

However, a hint of joy had just appeared on Liu Fanglan’s face, but she quickly suppressed it after seeing Shen Nian. Her gaze, when it fell on Shen Nian, was still filled with terror.

Shen Nian could make her mute, then allow her to speak again. ’Who knows if she’ll make me mute again next time!’

Right now, all Liu Fanglan wanted was to stay far, far away from Shen Nian!

”Liu Fanglan, you intentionally spread rumors to slander others and intentionally harmed others. The evidence is now conclusive. Do you plead guilty?”

Although the evidence was conclusive, they wouldn’t resort to beating a confession out of her. It would be best if Liu Fanglan confessed on her own. If she stubbornly refused, they naturally had other methods.

Of course, Liu Fanglan still wanted to deny it. But just as she opened her mouth to speak, she saw Shen Nian in front of her and immediately gulped.

”I... I confess.”

’How could I dare not confess? What if Shen Nian comes to stick me with those needles again! Besides, when Luo Bin confessed on my behalf earlier, he was right beside me. Even if I deny it now, what good would it do!’

In reality, Liu Fanglan’s guilty conscience was making her paranoid. Shen Nian had acted before to save Zhang Ying; it was an expedient measure for an emergency. This was no longer a critical situation, so of course she wouldn’t do anything to Liu Fanglan in front of so many people.

Lin Jingyun was a little surprised that Liu Fanglan confessed so quickly. However, she understood completely after seeing the terrified look Liu Fanglan gave Shen Nian.

Quietly pulling Shen Nian aside, Lin Jingyun leaned in and whispered in her ear.

”Xiao Nian, it looks like in her mind, you’re scarier than the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty! From now on, whenever the police need to interrogate a criminal, they should just call you!”

Shen Nian looked at Lin Jingyun and gave a helpless smile. She knew Lin Jingyun was only joking, though.

’This is just an application of traditional Chinese medicine. How could it possibly be used to interrogate criminals!’

”Oh, right! Things were so urgent earlier that I didn’t get a chance to ask. You and Mr. Lu... how did things go last night?”

Lin Jingyun watched Shen Nian with a sly grin as she spoke. ’I have to say, Lin Jingyun and Zhang Yuanjun really are a perfect match. They look exactly the same when they’re being gossipy!’

”What about last night?”

Shen Nian hadn’t quite processed the question.

”Hmph, still playing shy! My Zhang Yuanjun told me yesterday that your man was clamoring to take leave before his shift was even over. Judging by how eager he was, are you telling me nothing happened between you two last night?”

Shen Nian truly hadn’t processed Lin Jingyun’s first sentence. Her second sentence, however, couldn’t have been more obvious. You’d have to be a fool not to understand.

’But she never expected Lin Jingyun to ask such a question in a place like this, with so many people around! Even though she was whispering, what if someone overheard? How mortifying!’

Besides, the incident last night...

Shen Nian blushed just thinking about it.

’Going by what Lin Jingyun said, does that mean everyone in the company noticed how eager Lu Cheng was? With the previous rumors on top of that, could everyone have guessed what happened between me and Lu Cheng last night?’

’Good heavens! What is happening?!’

Shen Nian was both mortified and furious. ’It’s all Liu Fanglan’s fault! If I’d known this would happen, I would’ve stuck her with a few more needles!’

’How infuriating!’
