His Genius Wife is a Superstar

About ten minutes later, the hotel was swarming with the police. They took over the bedroom from Jin Liwei's bodyguards and the hotel's security, basically kicking all of them out.

The chaotic crowd was dispersed while the key people involved in the case were taken in separate rooms at the hotel for preliminary questioning. Everything was organized. The police officers were more serious and diligent than usual knowing that their chief would be arriving soon.

By this time, Rose Young finally regained consciousness. She was wearing a hotel bathrobe. At first, she was confused. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

Where was Jin Liwei? Where was she? Why was she in a different place?

Then she realized that there were other people besides her in what looked like a small office. It should still be an office in the hotel though. The two strangers were a female and male wearing…dammit—police uniforms!

Her pupils contracted. She now knew that her plan failed miserably and that she was now in trouble.

Big trouble.

What she needed to do now was to keep as much of her wits about her as possible and to take extreme caution whenever opening her mouth to answer any questions. Impulsiveness at this time would spell doom for her.

Although she had an all-or-nothing attitude before and during her plan to trap Jin Liwei, now that her plan failed and the police had caught her, she was unwilling to surrender! This couldn't possibly be the end of her! No way!

After confirming her identity, the female officer who was acting quite friendly finally began questioning her about the incident with Jin Liwei at the hotel bedroom. Her partner, the male officer, stood a few steps away with a stern expression.

Rose Young knew that he was trying to intimidate her but it wasn't effective. She had to deal with the iceberg Jin Liwei for so many years. This male officer had nothing on her man! Despite her inner contempt at the male officer, she still pretended to act meek in order to make these officers empathize with her.

"Did you drug Jin Liwei tonight, kidnap him, lock him up in a bedroom, and then plan to have sex with him without his consent?"

She shook her head. "No, Miss Officer. I…" Tears formed in her eyes. "I know that so many people despise me and think the worst of me during this time, but the truth is…the truth is…I can't say it. I already promised to take all the blame and to bear the shame."

The female officer showed a sympathetic expression while Rose Young sobbed quietly as if suffering a deep grievance that nobody else in the world could truly understand. However, Rose Young knew that the female officer was only pretending to be nice in order to make her talk. She wasn't a fool. The female officer wasn't a friend. Far from it. Instead, the woman was a vicious viper who would swallow her whole as soon as she made the wrong move and spit her out into the fire pit.

"You're upset but we can't help you if you don't tell us what's wrong," the female officer coaxed.

The male officer clicked his tongue in irritation and glared at Rose Young. "Stop the waterworks and just tell us the truth! You drugged CEO Jin Liwei, didn't you? Yes or no!"

The female officer continued smiling "kindly" at Rose Young but she didn't stop her partner from roaring either.

Rose Young chose her words carefully. "An aphrodisiac drug is involved, yes—"

"Hah! So now you're confessing, huh?" the male officer sneered at her.

The female officer maintained her kind smile while waiting patiently for Rose Young to continue speaking.

"—but it's part of our…bed activities." Rose Young clenched her fists and trembled under the gazes of the officers. Tears flowed down her face, making her look pitiful. "People only believe what they want to believe. I know that now! I'm experiencing it now! What it means to fall in love with a man who only wants me to be his mistress, his hidden woman, while he holds another woman in public! I know that you won't believe me…but…but Big Brother Liwei and I…we're in a relationship! That kind of relationship. It's true!"

"Please be more specific, Miss Young," the female officer said in a gentle tone.

"You already know what I mean."

"Yes, but we still need you to be specific for the official records. Tell us exactly what kind of relationship you allegedly have with CEO Jin."

"We…" Rose Young bit her lower lip, letting more tears flow down her face. "We meet up in secret, sleep together, you know, have sex! That kind of relationship!"

"Ah, so you're alleging that you're having an affair with CEO Jin?"

"I'm not alleging. It's true! But he won't admit it. Not now that he married that…that other woman." She covered her face and started sobbing.

The male officer laughed with sarcasm. "Wow. The official wife is being called the 'other woman'."

"When did your alleged affair with CEO Jin start? Before he's married or after?"

"B-before…."

The male officer snorted but his female partner gave him a warning glance. He stopped. Rose Young almost scoffed at their acting but restrained herself and continued acting pitiful.

"Big Brother Liwei and I have known each other for a long time. We attended the same university in America. He was my senior there. We didn't have any romantic relationship at that time yet. We were…friends.

"Years passed and we only saw each other during social events. We maintained a…cordial friendship. He became Jin Corporation's head while I continued working hard to gain experience in the business world. Then a few months ago, I was hired as the new Chief Marketing Officer at Jin Corporation's main headquarters so I flew here from abroad. It was then that…that Big Brother Liwei and I reconnected and…it developed into something more."

"And then?" the female officer prompted her.

"And then we had an affair."

The male officer snorted. "Even if it's true that you really have a secret love affair with CEO Jin which is already very questionable, it still doesn't change the fact that you're intruding in an official relationship. He was already engaged to Iris Long that time!"
