The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 178: Jing Hee’ first assault
What Meifen told Alix prompted her to request Caishen that the car be diverted and rather than returning home, they went to check on Meifen and Yuewei.

Upon their arrival, they found quite the crowd gathered in the hallway leading to the apartment.
Whispers and murmurs filled the air as the scandalized crowd spoke in hushed tones. One woman was not as discreet as others and she spoke loudly.
"Whose man did she sleep with? They don't call a woman a slut for no reason."
Alix looked at Caishen, puzzled. Meifen had not mentioned anything about name calling. All she said was that someone had painted unsavory words on her door during the night and also splashed blood on it.
She needed to get through the crowd and see for herself what the truth was.
"Excuse me." She called out loudly and raised her hands, preparing to push the onlookers out of the way.
A hand pinched her waist however and she turned around.
"Let the bodyguards do it." Caishen told her.
You didn't have to pinch me, she thought.
But she nodded and stepped aside, allowing two of Caishen's bodyguards to take the lead.
"Make way." They spoke sternly as they created a path for the couple to pass through.
These actions were not met with pleasantness of course as some people grumbled. But when they noticed the fierceness of the bodyguards they were quick to hold in their dissatisfaction. Their curiosity moved from Meifen's matter to the well dressed affluent couple and their many bodyguards, four in total.
Reaching the apartment, Alix
finally saw for herself the very shocking scene which had been deliberately set to attract the attention of others.
In bold red letters, Meifen had been referred to using many slurs. The words used obviously had one jumping to the conclusion that the perpetrator was female.
Men did not usually call a woman slut, mistress, seductress and warn others to be wary of the bitch who lived there and hide their husband's.
.
The stench of the blood was strong and nasty. It stunk of rot, and it had attracted some flies.
It had dripped down from the walls and door to the floor.
As if all this was not dramatic enough, a medium sized female straw doll had been left in the entrance of the door with a knife stabbed into it's heart.
Whoever did this really went for maximum shock. There was no doubt in Alix's mind that Jing Hee had done this and her assault on Meifen was just beginning.
She didn't do this herself though. As always, she had outsourced her dirty work to a third party.
There were two police officers at the scene, one male and one female. Both of them were talking to a rather hysterical Meifen.
"It's her, I am telling you who did this and you are asking me for evidence. Aren't you the police? Shouldn't you be investigating or following the clues?
Alix frowned in worry and she mumbled, "She shouldn't be talking to the police without a lawyer."
Accusing the wife of the president of Lin power holdings of such a crime was not smart especially when one had no evidence. All it would serve to do was attract media attention and get Meifen slandered online. She would become the face of mistresses in society and be ostracized.
Yuewei would not be spared either and no amount of explaining would solve the matter.
Caishen heard Alix and he concurred with her.
"Mo Sen give the police Jacob's card and send them on their way."
His long trusted personal head of security had returned and he was back to protecting Caishen personally.
"Yes, young master."
As Mo Sen approached the police, Alix called Meifen and gestured at her to come to them.
On hearing Alix's voice, Meifen visibly changed. There was relief on her face and a little smile.
She walked over to them quickly and grabbed a hold of Alix's right arm.
In a desperate voice, she said, "Miss Lin, thank God that you have come. Please, come and explain to these officers that I am not wrong and that woman is responsible for this."
"No pictures," a bodyguard said loudly.
"Let's go in." She told Meifen.
There are too many eyes here, we don't need everyone to know what's going on."
Meifen pointed over Alix's right side
shoulder to the crowd of gathered neighbors and said in a pained voice. "But they already know. They have been taking pictures long before I woke up and came outside. Yuewei had two of his friends sleep over last night and they saw this.
You said it yourself that Lin Qianfan's wife would do something like this.
If we talk to the police...."
"My wife will not be talking to the police."
Caishen had heard enough and he stepped in to stop her before she could request anything further. He knew that Alix was a bleeding heart and she might be foolishly tempted to step in so she decided to put a halt to this.
Meifen was about to loudly and rudely respond when she noticed the one who had spoken so coldly and remembered his identity.
Yuewei had shown her many images of young master Zhang, Alix's husband.
She sealed her lips but her eyes still sought Alix's help.
"Let's go inside first. We should check on Yuewei too, you said his friends had seen this so he must be sad, frightened, angry or ashamed." Alix convinced Meifen, speaking softly so that the woman would understand. As she did this, she kept an eye on the police as well and eavesdropped on them.
Mo Sen had handled the police successfully. They collected the straw doll and the knife, then they approached the three.
"Greetings, young master Zhang." One after the other, the police officers greeted Caishen and then they did the same to Alix.
They addressed them with respect because the Zhang family was generous to the police, making donations to the injured officers fund and the one for helping widows and orphans of police officers.
If they offended these big wigs in the slightest way, their higher upside would be very displeased them.
The case had suddenly become a priority, and the officers took it seriously.
"Madam, we have taken the evidence and we will turn it into the lab for further examination.
Your neighbors have not been of help unfortunately but we are going to examine all available security footage and see if we can find the culprit."
Meifen could see the change in their attitudes. They were now respectful when addressing
her and polite.
With Alix and young master Zhang's backing, she regained confidence to raise the same issue she had dropped.
"What about Jing...."
Alix squeezed her hand, shook her head and cut her off. "Thank you officers for all your help. Please feel free to reach any of us if you have anymore questions, concerns or information on the case." She said.
"Yes madam." They replied.
Alix quickly pushed Meifen through the open apartment door and Caishen followed them inside.
The bodyguards stood outside and sent menacing stares to the nosy neighbors who had remained behind.
It made everyone uncomfortable and they decided to walk away.
In the elevator, the female police officer turned to the male and asked, "How do you think she is related to them?"
"I don't know. But I know this case is much more complicated now. On one side we have young master Zhang backing this Meifen and the other, the wife of president Lin. Wait, the young master's wife, isn't she a Lin too?"
