Eternal Love: A Love Story Chapter 777 - Empress Is On A Polite Hunt! (End)
"Come in," Xie Rong uttered as a knock echoed, mistaking it for his secretary with urgent updates.
The door swung open, revealing not his secretary, but two police officers, one female, accompanied by his visibly terrified secretary standing behind them.
"Officer... what is the meaning of this intrusion? This is my office. How dare you barge into someone's workplace like this?" He inquired coldly, stepping protectively in front of Xinyi, who lay sprawled on the ground, her disheveled hair and smeared makeup marring her once elegant image.
The lead officer cast a glance at Xinyi, then signaled the female officer. Both Xie Rong and Xinyi were left stunned by the unspoken command.

"I am not going anywhere! I did nothing wrong, you cannot take me!" Xinyi protested vehemently, clinging to the office couch. She desperately tried to break free from the female officer's firm grip as they attempted to escort her out.
Xie Rong, jolted from his shock at the unfolding scene, finally moved. "Officer, you cannot take my daughter away like this. She is innocent. It was merely a childish prank. We are family, for goodness sake! Allow me to contact my lawyer; he will handle this."
The officer, who had been observing the female officer struggle with the girl whose shrill cries pierced his ears, turned to Xie Rong. "You may present your case in court. For now, we have a complaint of attempted kidnapping and two counts of attempted murder against her. Your lawyer is welcome at the station, but she is coming with us. Advise her to cease her resistance, or we will be forced to use necessary measures to escort her."
"What?" Xie Rong's face drained of color upon hearing the gravity of the charges. Attempted murder, twice? Kidnapping he could manage, but attempted murder was beyond his influence.
Xinyi... what exactly have you done?
"But she is fine, she isn't even dead! How can you arrest me for something that hasn't happened? Get your hands off me!" Xinyi shrieked, continuing her futile struggle to escape the female officer's grasp.
The female officer's brow furrowed. "That is precisely why it's a charge for attempted murder. Now, cease your struggling and comply, unless you wish to escalate the situation." With that, she fastened handcuffs around Xinyi's wrists, dragging her out of the office.
Once outside, Xinyi instinctively tried to shield her face. All eyes were on the disheveled princess of the Xie family, once the office's 'dream girl'. The stares, a mixture of shock and gossip, made her question why Xie Ming hadn't died that day.
It would have at least spared her this misery.
Xie Rong sank onto the office couch, unable to bear the sight of Xinyi being led away publicly. His hands trembled; he hadn't anticipated Liwei involving the police.
How could he... They were family. This matter should have been resolved privately. Yet, Liwei was intent on their complete downfall.
As he tried to process the events, his phone rang. A glance at the caller ID showed it was from home. He answered, contemplating how to deliver the news of Xinyi's arrest to Xie Rouxi, when a fearful, quavering voice from his servant filled the line.
The servant's words turned Xie Rong's complexion even paler.
"Police have taken Rouxi as well?" His hands shook; this ominous news suggested Liwei's intent to obliterate his entire family.

[The mother and daughter deserve severe punishment. How dare Xinyi dismiss her actions as a childish prank to the reporters? Utterly disgusting. She has proven herself unworthy of being called human, a heartless monster.]
[I'm so relieved Xie Ming has Liwei to support and protect her. He's taught those two a fitting lesson; they belong in jail, the bloody murderers.]
[Liwei is truly husband material! I had anticipated the downfall of Xie Corporation, but now that it's under Jin Corporation's umbrella, I'll give it my full backing. He not only punished them but also took Xie Corporation from Xie Ming's cheating father, ensuring it wouldn't collapse, as it was built by her mother. He's such a sweetheart. They are the definition of couple goals.]
[Xie Ming is not just a doctor but also an incredibly talented actress! Her portrayal of the Empress in her single movie has left a lasting impression. Even as an antagonist, she captivates my heart. I'm rooting for her to win numerous awards at tomorrow's year-end ceremony. Xie Ming, go, go, fighting!!]

A satisfied smile graced Xie Ming's lips as she absorbed the online sentiments, noting the widespread support for her future and acclaim for Liwei's steadfast handling of the unfolding events.
Reclining in her chambers, propped up by pillows with a cushion resting upon her lap, she reflected on the passage of time. It had been over three weeks since Xinyi and Rouxi were apprehended and placed in custody.
The legal proceedings were still in progress. Xie Rong, in a desperate bid to finance the legal battle against his wife and daughter, had divested the company at bargain prices to Jin Corporations. He was in a truly precarious position. While she might have considered showing him some leniency, Liwei harbored decidedly different intentions.
Her initial action was merely to disseminate the evidence online, a statement to Xinyi that she was not one to be easily deterred. However, Liwei had escalated the situation, involving the authorities and remaining resolute in ensuring they faced proper consequences this time.
Ultimately, the mother-daughter pair not only found themselves incarcerated, but Liwei also orchestrated Xie Rong's ousting from the company, seizing control of Xie Corporations. The man was cast onto the streets, left to contemplate the sting of being wronged and disregarded.
She would not have resorted to such drastic measures to bring about their ruin had they displayed even a modicum of remorse for their transgressions. Instead of showing guilt, they acted as if they were the aggrieved parties, demanding that she absolve them and withdraw all charges, rather than seeking her forgiveness.
Their downfall was entirely warranted.
