Chapter 436 - Miss Bai, You Are Under Arrest
"What! you are here to make an arrest? Do you know whose house you are in?." Bai Fen asked angrily.
The Chief police officer just informed them that they were here to make an arrest after Old lady Bai asked them what they came for.
"Mr. police, I'm sure you must be mistaken about something. This is the Bai family, so tell me, which criminal do you think lives in our family?." The first daughter-in-law asked with a frown.
For the police to come to their house and say they came to arrest someone in their family, she was sure it was a serious matter.
"Maybe one of the servants must have violated the rules outside or something because there is no criminal in our family." The third daughter-in-law said without a care.
"No Ma'am, we are not here to arrest any of your servants of staff, we are here to arrest a member of your family who has violated the laws." The Chief police officer said.
Currently, there were a total of four policemen in the room with them, and the rest of them were waiting outside.
"What? Mr. Officer, can you please tell us the member of my Bai family that must have offended you without knowing?." Old Mrs. Bai asked with a worried gaze as this has turned into a serious matter.
The Chief police officer showed them the paper he had in his hand while saying, "We are here to arrest Miss Bai Jun for violating the company policies and rules of FJ as a staff."
"What!." The first daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law exclaimed in shock 😦
"Mr. Police, what nonsense are you talking about? What company rules did my daughter break that would warrant her to be arrested?." Bai Fen asked angrily, but deep down in her heart, she was nervous and scared, as she didn't know what her daughter had done wrong.
"FJ is pressing charges on Miss Bai, and after the evidence had proven that she stole the designs from FJ's upcoming Fashion show and gave them to a rival company who has already begun production, the court has ordered for Miss Bai to clear up the money as written in her contract, and she is to be arrested to serve a jail term of 3 years with hard labor." The Chief police officer revealed.
"Oh my goodness, this child will not kill us!."
"You said my granddaughter did what!."
"Mr. police, there must be an error somehow, my daughter will never do such a thing!." Bai Fen said in a nervous tone.
"I know this is hard to believe, but we have pieces of evidence presented to us by FJ which proves that their claims and allegations are right. Please, allow us to do our job." The Chief security officer said as he glanced at each one of them.
"What job do you want to do? You want to take my daughter, no way! At most if she actually did something like that, we would pay the fine, there is no need to serve a jail term." Bai Fen said arrogantly.
She could feel the seriousness of the matter, but she didn't care to know the details as she wanted to protect her only child. How could she allow her child to be sent to jail? There was no way that was going to happen, she would never allow it.
"Can I see the evidence?." The third daughter-in-law asked with a calm look, and the police officer took out his phone and played a few video clips for those interested to watch.
The first video clip showed Bai Jun in a club sitting and talking with U&ME's Boss, Mr. U. The second clip showed Bai Jun on Jia Li's laptop on how she copied the designs into her flash drive. The third clip showed Bai Jun and Mr. U meeting up, and the other clips showed Mr. U giving the flash to has design department to start working on them.
The big proof here, was Bai Jun meeting up with Mr. U in the underground parking lot because there were two different videos of that scene. One from the CCTV camera, and one captured from someone's phone, which picked up the conversations they had.
Bai Fen didn't know how she landed on the floor after losing her balance. She was so shocked by the series of pieces of evidence that proved that Bai Jun went against work ethics and FJ's terms and conditions as an employee.
The Chief police officer didn't stop there, he went on to show the evidence that confirmed Bai Jun's fingerprint on Jia Li's desktop. To make Bai Jun's situation clearer, he showed them a picture of FJ's rules and the punishment that comes with Bai Jun's acts.
"...I'm sure Miss Bai signed the same contract as the others. And Miss Bai was still an employee of FJ at the time she committed this crime. Her resignation letter which was submitted to the creative arts director after work yesterday, just got to Mr. Fu's desk this morning, and having a lot to deal with, it has remained unsigned, and this means that Miss Bai's punishment will be heavier, for not coming to work as an employee of FJ without giving any reasons, but this offense is not the main deal."
There was a moment of silence as everyone was too shocked after everything they just heard. Bai Fen couldn't say another word as just one sentence kept coming to her thoughts, 'It is finished'
Old Mrs. Bai almost had a heart attack. She clutched her chest with furrowed brows and couldn't say a word. The other two daughters-in-law were too infuriated to speak up. Bai Jun's actions, just tarnished the remaining reputation they had left, and there was no way they would be able to still maintain their grounds in this city, their family, just hit the biggest rock bottom.
As the next mistress of the Bai family, all authority was now left in the first daughter-in-law's hands. She immediately called for a servant to direct the police officers to Bai Jun's bedroom to have her taken away.
Bai Fen on seeing what was going on started crying and tried to block their paths, but the third daughter-in-law ordered another set of servants to hold her down.
Bai Jun was still in her bedroom eating fruits and listening to good music when she heard knocks on her door. She permitted whoever was knocking to come in, and to her surprise, she saw a servant lead four policemen into her bedroom.
"What the hell are the police doing in my bedroom, don't you have any manners?." Bai Jun asked in deep anger.
"Miss Bai, we are sorry for disturbing your peace, but you are under arrest for...." As the Chief police officer was saying that, the other police officers in uniform immediately surrounded Bai Jun and handcuffed her hands.
