The square-faced police officer stood in front of Gu Qingchen and sized her up carefully. He frowned slightly when he saw that she looked like a student.

He was an old man who dealt with cases. He could more or less distinguish the good from the bad. He did not think that this girl was a bad person.

“You are Gu Qingchen?”

Although everyone’s expressions had already told him that, he still had to confirm it to avoid making a mistake.

“That’s right, Officer Liang. That’s her. That’s Gu Qingchen!”

Before Gu Qingchen could say anything, Shi Tian, who was behind Officer Liang, rushed up with his hands covering his eyes. He pointed at Gu Qingchen rudely with his finger.

Looking at Shi Tian, who had a panda eye, Gu Qingchen chuckled. “What’s wrong, CEO Shi? Are you going to act as a pirate or attend a costume party?”

Shi Tian was not in the mood to argue with Gu Qingchen. He pointed at Gu Qingchen and complained to the square-faced officer, “Officer Liang, she must have ordered people to snatch my check away. She must have done it.”

Hearing that Shi Tian’s check was stolen, Gu Qingchen was not surprised at all. Everything was within her expectations.

Just now, she was able to tell from a sneaky person who had his eyes on Shi Tian and was going to snatch Shi Tian’s check later.

“Hehe, CEO Shi sure knows how to joke. If you have evidence, then I have nothing to say. But if you don’t have evidence, then don’t blame me for suing you for slander.”

Gu Qingchen’s eyes were clear, and she did not look guilty at all. Officer Liang was also a police officer who had worked for many years. He could tell that Gu Qingchen did not seem to be lying.

Moreover, he also felt that Gu Qingchen was just a student. She did not seem like a person who could commit crimes.

Previously, Shi Tian had described Gu Qingchen in a very bad way. He had even said that Gu Qingchen was the only person who had a grudge against him and that there had been a dispute before. Hence, he had decided to bring people over to investigate the matter after listening to Shi Tian.

Now, it seemed that the matter was not as Shi Tian had said.

“That’s right, officer, don’t listen to other people’s nonsense. Everyone present can prove that Gu Qingchen had no possibility of committing a crime. Ever since Shi Tian left, Gu Qingchen has been here and did not instigate others to commit a robbery. This is what all of us saw. On the other hand, Shi Tian did not have a good character. He was a grown man bullying a little girl.”

Zhou Xiang directly stood out to clear Gu Qingchen of suspicion. Many people nodded in agreement.

Officer Liang looked at Shi Tian with a stern look, his eyes filled with anger. “CEO Shi, solving a case is not a joke. We are public officials, not tools for you to take revenge. Do you have evidence that the person who robbed your check was Gu Qingchen?”

Officer Liang was originally very righteous and awe-inspiring. At this moment, his tone was cold and imposing. Shi Tian subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked away guiltily, and stammered, “I have a grudge against the Gu family. She, Gu Qingchen, had just repaid the money she owed me, and then I was robbed. How could there be such a coincidence? Officer Liang, didn’t you say that this kind of thing was most likely done by someone familiar, and you told me to think about the person who had a grudge against me? It was her.”

Looking at the scoundrel Shi Tian, Officer Liang took a deep breath, his brows tightly knitted together. “Gu Qingchen has a time witness, and you have no evidence. How about this, you and I can go back to the station and describe the appearance of the person who robbed you.”

Seeing that Officer Liang let Gu Qingchen off so easily, Shi Tian was displeased, but he still pressed on, “Officer Liang, although she didn’t do it herself, she is the biggest suspect. Maybe she had come into contact with someone just now and ordered that person to commit the crime. How about this? Bring her back too. Maybe after you interrogate her, she will be exposed.”

Shi Tian was extremely petty. In this regard, Shi Wei had inherited her father’s genes. From Shi Tian’s point of view, he was unhappy that the Gu family had solved the problem so easily. Hence, it was good to drag Gu Qingchen into the police station and make the Gu family unhappy.

Officer Liang also hesitated for a moment. It was obvious that he was considering whether to bring Gu Qingchen back to assist in the investigation.

In the room on the second floor.

“Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Qingchen is really troublesome. Young Master Rong, do you need my help?”

Tang Feng was in a good mood now that he had obtained the three-colored jade and did not waste any money. He found Gu Qingchen much more pleasing to the eye and began to tease Young Master Rong again.

Young Master Rong, however, was not too worried. He sat in his wheelchair and looked down. With his jade-like side profile, the perfect curve outlined his stunning face, the straight bridge of his nose, and the slightly raised corner of his mouth, as well as those eyes that were filled with elegance, it revealed his current mood.

It was as if… he had seen everything that had happened downstairs, yet he did not take it to heart. He was just like a spectator.

“Do you want to bet that she can handle it herself?”

His voice was like a gust of breeze that gently brushed past people’s hearts. It was so ticklish and intoxicating.

“No!”

Tang Feng directly gave a negative answer. It seemed that he had never won a bet with Young Master Rong. The previous incident had once again proved that he absolutely did not want to make a bet with Young Master Rong.

The same mistake had happened twice in a day. Tang Feng could not accept it.

Moreover, Gu Qingchen was indeed an interesting girl. He also wanted to know how Gu Qingchen would solve the problem in front of him.

But… why did Young Master Rong care so much about Gu Qingchen?

Tang Feng moved closer to Young Master Rong suspiciously. His pair of Phoenix eyes were like a radar, scanning the unpredictable Young Master Rong.

“What exactly is the relationship between you and her?”

Young Master Rong’s reaction today had aroused Tang Feng’s curiosity.

Everyone knew that Young Master Rong had never been close to women. It could even be said that a creature like a woman was an isolated body to Young Master Rong. Anyway, he had never seen any woman by Young Master Rong’s side, not to mention that he would pay attention to women.

In the past, Tang Feng had even thought that in Young Master Rong’s eyes, women all looked the same. Perhaps Young Master Rong did not like women and liked… cough cough. Although it was a little immoral to suspect the orientation of others, Tang Feng had his suspicions.

But very quickly, he ruled out this possibility.

The reason was very simple. With a peerless beauty like Young Master Tang by his side, he had never seen Young Master Rong fall in love with him. It was clear that Young Master Rong did not like men.

Tang Feng stared at Young Master Rong for a long time, but Young Master Rong’s expression did not change at all. The curve of his thin lips was enough to make a woman go crazy. His pair of sparkling black eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

The perfect disguise was impeccable. Even if they could see that his gentle smile was a disguise, and behind that disguise was extremely dangerous cruelty, they were still willing to be attracted to him.

This… was Young Master Rong’s unique charm.

After a long time, Young Master Rong only uttered a few words. It was as if he was talking to Tang Feng, but also as if he was talking to himself.

“Close… relationship.”

These two words, however, had a magical color and aroused Tang Feng’s curiosity.
