When Christopher heard a knock at the door, he instinctively asked, “Who is it?”
As soon as he spoke, the door swung open, revealing several police officers. One officer looked directly at Christopher and Harold, inquiring, “Are you money? Is this Souna’s family?”<fne41d> Readplete version only at find?novel</fne41d>
Christopher replied, almost without thinking, “I am… I am her husband.”
Harold chimed in, “I am her son…”
The officer nodded and instructed, “Alright, please stand up and walk with us. We need your cooperation for an investigation.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
“Cooperate with the investigation?” Christopher asked, panic creeping into his voice. “Officer, is something wrong with Souna?”
“What video?” Harold interjected, confused. “We have no idea what you’re talking about…”
The officer, looking skeptical, responded, “Your video was leaked online. Haven’t you seen it yet?”
“Leaked? Us?” Christopher said, his anxiety mounting. “What’s going on? I don’t understand what you mean.”
The officer replied calmly, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. You’ll find out when we get to the station. Now, please get up and follow us.”
Christopher quickly said, “Officer, my son and I are both paralyzed and haven’t recovered yet, so we can’t get up at all.”
The policeman frowned and questioned, “Are you putting on an act? Don’t think I don’t know that this is all a ruse. You’ve been pretending to be disabled for inte viewers to encourage them to ce orders in your live stream. You dare to act like this in front of the police?”
Panicking, Christopher exined, “Officer, there’s been a huge misunderstanding. My son and I had an ident recently and have been bedridden for a long time. If you don’t believe me, you can check our medical records at the hospital.”
The officer furrowed his brow, recalling how the two had been motionless on their beds when he arrived. He began to believe Christopher’s ims.
He then said, “If you truly have mobility issues, I can arrange for a couple of officers to help you into the car. We need to take you to the station for the investigation. Once it’s over, we’ll ensure you get home.”
Nervously, Christopher queried, “Officer, what exactly is going on? You mentioned that someone exposed something about us? Did they reveal my wife’s live stream?”
The officer nodded, pulled out his phone, and opened a video. He handed it to Christopher, saying, “Take a look for yourself. After all, you said it yourself; there’s no one falsely using you.”
As the video yed, Christopher’s heart sank when he heard Souna’s voice. The first words she spoke nearly knocked the breath out of him!
Harold, lying in the next bed, couldn’t see the screen, but the audio alone sent chills down his spine, and he felt goosebumps all over.
The officer retrieved his phone before the video ended and asked coldly, “Now do you understand why you need to cooperate with this investigation?”
Beads of cold sweat formed on Christopher’s forehead as he stuttered, “But… but my wife can’t be called a liar during her live stream. My son and I are genuinely paralyzed, and we really don’t have much money for medical treatment…”
The officer shot back, “Your wife drives a Mercedes-Benz. Do you expect me to believe you don’t have money?”
