Catherine waited for a long time, but no one entered.
"Hey, you useless pieces of trash, what are you doing?" Catherine shouted loudly, her voice filled with anger.
Mu Linjing immediately burst out laughing, "I think they probably found you annoying long ago and just don't want to bother with you."
However, as soon as Mu Linjing finished speaking, the door was opened.
"Linjing!"
Appearing at the doorway were naturally Wei Yumeng, Zhan Mohan, and Fang Xun.
Mu Linjing was slightly taken aback. Upon seeing Wei Yumeng, her eyes lit up, "Yumeng, I knew you would come to save me!"
Wei Yumeng walked over, helped Catherine up, and gave Catherine a cold stare.
Catherine reacted quickly. The current situation was even more disadvantageous for her. Wasn't she caught red-handed?
She suddenly looked at Zhan Mohan, "Mohan, you've finally come to save me. We were almost killed by those people."
"You're spouting nonsense!" Mu Linjing truly gained a new understanding of Catherine's thick skin. "You were the one who kidnapped me here. How are you the victim?"
Catherine then revealed the injuries on her body, "Look, these injuries were inflicted by that group of people. How could I possibly have done this to myself?"
Mu Linjing was speechless. Those injuries were clearly caused by their fight just now.
"Yumeng, don't listen to her nonsense. I can guarantee that she's the one who held me captive."
Catherine, however, put on a wronged expression. "I know you dislike me, but some things cannot be used for personal revenge. Kidnapping is not something to be taken lightly. How could I do such a thing?"
As Catherine said this, she secretly dialed Song Lijun's number. If things continued like this, she couldn't guarantee that others would eventually believe her. So, she could only ask Song Lijun to come and take her away.
"Mom, I was just kidnapped. Please come and pick me up quickly."
They had originally intended to question Catherine further, but seeing that Catherine had already made the call, they were unsure how to proceed.
Song Lijun would surely consider Catherine a victim, and their suspicion of Catherine would not gain the approval of others.
Although Wei Yumeng absolutely believed Mu Linjing, and Zhan Mohan and Fang Xun knew exactly what had happened, what they needed now was the belief of others.
Zhan Mohan said calmly, "Alright, we'll discuss what happened later. Let's leave here first."
Catherine thought Zhan Mohan was deliberately covering for her and even gave him a grateful glance. However, Zhan Mohan didn't look at her, but walked towards Wei Yumeng.
Soon, Song Lijun arrived in person.
"Linlin, what exactly happened?" Song Lijun hadn't expected such a situation to occur.
Catherine looked distressed, "Mom, I don't know what happened. I met with Yumeng today to discuss something, but we didn't reach an agreement. Then I encountered a group of men who brought me here without a word. I never expected Linjing to be here too."
Catherine's words undoubtedly shifted Song Lijun's focus to Wei Yumeng. She had also deliberately mentioned meeting bad guys after their discussion with Wei Yumeng broke down, implying that Wei Yumeng might be involved with the kidnappers.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yumeng bit her lower lip. Catherine's preemptive strike was indeed quick.
If she were to defend herself now, Catherine would definitely bring up why she went to her house. But Wei Yumeng absolutely did not want Song Lijun to know about all of that.
At this critical juncture, if Song Lijun knew what had happened between Wei Yumeng, Zhan Mohan, and Catherine, she would undoubtedly link the kidnapping to those so-called emotional entanglements.
No matter how she looked at it, Wei Yumeng would be the most suspicious.
How could Wei Yumeng let Catherine have her way? Regarding Catherine's indirect accusation, she didn't pick up on the conversation but focused her attention on Mu Linjing.
"Linjing, how are you? Are you injured?" Wei Yumeng untied Mu Linjing's ropes.
Mu Linjing looked at Wei Yumeng, "Yumeng, how can you let her accuse you like this? Go tell Mrs. Feng the truth. I can be your witness."
But Wei Yumeng shook her head, "It's not the time yet. We can't make things worse."
Hearing Wei Yumeng's words, Mu Linjing only sighed. She understood Wei Yumeng's concerns, but she really couldn't stand Catherine. The more she tolerated her, the more unrestrained Catherine became.
Song Lijun looked at Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing, then at Catherine, and understood.
"Linlin, since you're fine, let's go back now. Let a doctor check if you're injured anywhere."
Catherine nodded and obediently left with Song Lijun.
Before leaving, Song Lijun turned to look at Wei Yumeng with a worried expression. Wei Yumeng nodded at her, and then she left with peace of mind.
Wei Yumeng was relieved because Song Lijun clearly hadn't believed Catherine's accusation against her.
Mu Linjing, however, stood up, stretched her limbs, and yelled in the direction Catherine had left.
"You shameless woman! One day, I'll show you my true power, and I'll make you regret everything you've done!"
"Alright Linjing, instead of scolding her, tell us what happened first."
Hearing Wei Yumeng's words, Mu Linjing looked coldly at Zhan Mohan, "I can tell you what happened, but there are outsiders here, and I don't feel at ease. I'm afraid he'll turn around and deal with us for that woman."
"Linjing, what do you mean by that?" Wei Yumeng was somewhat confused by Mu Linjing's attitude.
"You're asking me what I mean? Yumeng, are you not stupid? Aren't you planning to divorce Zhan Mohan? And it's all for that woman. How can I feel at ease with him staying here?"
Now Wei Yumeng understood. Catherine must have told her.
"Linjing, it's not like that. We pretended that you and Zhan Mohan were divorcing as an excuse to lure her out, so we could put a tracker on her. That's how we found you."
Now it was Mu Linjing's turn to be stunned, "So that's what happened?"
Wei Yumeng said with some helplessness, "That's right, and I was the one who requested to be involved. After all, you are my best friend. No matter what, I have to personally rescue you."
Mu Linjing looked at Wei Yumeng, then at Zhan Mohan, and felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. That woman was so arrogant and boasted to me, I really thought you..."
