"Do you know what you are doing right now?" the policeman continued to say, "If you give money to
state functionaries for illegitimate interests, you can be sentenced for bribery. Do you think charging
you only for whoring is not enough? You want one more charge?"
The words of the policeman hit her mind heavily. He was so righteous that Sophie turned pale with
fright.
Sophie pretended to be poor in the hope that she could be sympathized by the policeman, "I didn't
mean that. I just beg you to let me go and I promise there won't be next time. Please…"
The policeman was indifferent, "Everyone is equal before the law and you won't be an exception. If you
don't go, I will call someone to bring you there."
"No…" Sophie drew back instinctively, shook her head and refused to be arrested, "Let me go please.
Please…"
Sophie was afraid to let Sky know, so she could only beg for mercy here.
"No way." The policeman spoke to colleagues behind him, "Take her away."
They came up to her. Sophie was still begging and she was close to tears.
However, no matter how she resisted, she would be arrested in the end. The unexpected thing was that
she went down on her knees and kowtowed to the police. She said, "I beg you. I was forced to do so
and I didn't want to. If I am arrested, my husband will know that and he won't forgive me and divorce
me. Without him I would rather die… So please let me go for the sake of my family and I will appreciate
that."
"You bitch!" shouted Timothy.
The policeman insisted, "No matter if you are willing or forced, clarify it in the police station." He was
still unwilling to give her one more chance, "Take her away."
Actually the police were sympathetic, but they had met enough of such situation. Some were real, while
others were fake. But anyway, it should be understood that if you had known such result, why you
would still do that.
Sophie broke down seeing that the policeman was decisive to arrest her.
She pushed the police away and picked up a cup on the table. Dropped on the floor, the cup was
smashed. The police found something wrong and picked up the fragments as soon as possible.
However, Sophie got a piece and stuck it against an artery in her neck.
She glared at the police angrily, "If you don't let me go, I will just die here. Anyway, I will have no
choices but to die once my husband knows that. Why not end here?"
All people were stunned. The chief policeman said, "Calm down. Don't hurt yourself. Put down the
fragment and let us talk it over! Even though whoring is illegal, you will only be detained for a few
months and charged for hundreds. We don't want to see tragedy happen."
"Unless you let me go, or I won't put it down." This was her only condition.
The chief policeman was frustrated and conflicted, "Okay. Please put it down first."
"Get out of the way. Let me out!" Sophie always grasped the fragment and kept it against her neck. She
knew that her life was the only chance for her to escape.
"Sir. This woman is so cunning. If she wants to die, just let her die. Her existence will only pollute the
air!" shouted Timothy. He couldn't imagine he was arrested alone, while Sophie was released.
"Shut up!" The policeman warned Timothy by his stern eyes.
Scared by the warning, Timothy lowered his head.
"Calm down. Think it over. If you lose your life, you will lose everything." The policeman was still trying
to persuade Sophie.
"Cut the crap. Just get out of the way." The only thing that Sophie was thinking was how to escape
away. As for what the policeman said, it was totally bullshit for her. She shouted, "If you don't do as
told, just watch me die!"
All of a sudden, Sophie pierced the fragment into her skin and the blood was coming out.
There was no way in the circumstances, only moving away. The policeman said, "Fine. We let you go."
Sophie looked at them in defense. Then she stepped forward slowly and carefully. Turning around
several steps, she walked out the door backwards.
As soon as she went out, she rushed downstairs.
"Sir. Shall we catch her up?" asked a subordinate.
"It doesn't matter." The chief policeman glanced at Timothy, "We have got him. She couldn't escape as
well. Take him away."
At present, Timothy had nothing to care about. Without face and money, he knew that the more
obedient he was, the lighter the punishment would be.
He followed the police to the station with no protest and was ready to record a confession.
The policeman took out a notebook prepared, "Introduce yourself first."
"My name is Timothy Fan, and I am 35 years old…" Timothy confessed everything at the hotel, except
that Sophie was forced by him but not willing to.
The policeman glanced at him with head up and asked, "Her name is Sophie Linder, right? Where is
she from and where is she living?"
"She is from City H, lives in Lido Manor, 66 Lido Road. She is the daughter of the Linder family and the
wife of Sky Tanner." Timothy confessed everything about Sophie, "I have told you everything I know."
The policeman asked again, "Were you both voluntary?"
"Of… Of course." Timothy smiled unnaturally, "Sir. There was no pecuniary exchange between us, so it
should not be whoring, right?"
The policeman took a glance at him and continued to record, "We can't judge only according to your
confession. Only when the lady's confession is the same as yours, will you be innocent."
"One more question, sir. Won't I get in the shit if she tells a lie that she was forced?" Timothy was afraid
that Sophie would go against him. By that time, he would be convicted of rape rather than whoring.
If he was convicted of rape, he would have to be in prison for the rest of his life, which would be many
times worse than it was now.
His brow furrowed, resisting to be prisoned.
"You lost? More often than not, in such case the female will be the victim." The policeman shook his
head reluctantly, thinking about what kind of man he was.
The policeman handed Timothy the completed statement, "Done. Please check it. If there is no
problem, sign here."
Timothy took the paper and looked through the contents. He had found no problem, but he hesitated
for a while when he saw that they were voluntary to have sex.
However, he firmly signed the statement, thinking that it didn't do him good to admit the charge of rape.
"You can leave until someone goes bail for you," said the policeman.
"Thanks." Timothy had already asked someone for help, but he was not sure that if that person would
come.
