"This is impossible! How could this happen? There must be something wrong with the surveillance. Someone must have tampered with it!" After watching the surveillance video, Shen Xinai couldn't accept what she had seen. She was both panicked and angry.
She pulled Shen Xingkong over and questioned him angrily, "Tell me! Did you tamper with it? How dare you do such a thing on Qi Rongchen's territory? Do you still have any respect for Qi Rongchen?"
Xingkong pushed her away coldly. "The surveillance clearly shows that I never touched that bag of drugs. It was in your pocket from the beginning."
"You clearly sneaked it into my pocket when I wasn't looking."
"The surveillance is clear, and it has nothing to do with me."
"You tampered with it!"
"Ridiculous! Who would dare to tamper with anything in front of Qi Rongchen? Are you overestimating me or underestimating Qi Rongchen?" Xingkong pushed Shen Xinai away, her gaze cold and sharp.
Qi Rongchen on the sofa smirked slightly. He now understood why Huo Siye was interested in this skinny little girl. He finally believed the saying, "Good looks are common, but an interesting soul is rare." Shen Xingkong's soul was definitely interesting.
But...if only her appearance was a little better, it would be perfect.
Tsk tsk, his Ah ye...has a subtle taste.
"Stop trying to evade the issue, Shen Xingkong! Qi Rongchen and the police are here. They won't be fooled easily."
"Oh, so you think highly of me," Shen Xingkong chuckled. "That means you don't think highly of Mr. Qi."
Shen Xinai remained silent.
"Hmm?" Qi Rongchen slowly shifted his gaze towards Shen Xinai, his expression a mix of amusement and anger.
"Mr. Qi, I didn't- I mean, my sister is just good at making things up. Please don't believe her!" Shen Xinai knew that Qi Rongchen and Huo Siye were good friends, and she was afraid of offending Qi Rongchen and causing Huo Siye to dislike her.
"So you're saying that my people didn't do their job well?"
"I- that's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean, Miss Shen?" Qi Rongchen's expression turned cold.
"I- I mean, I didn't do it!" Shen Xinai opened her mouth to explain, but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for herself.
She was feeling very anxious inside, trying to recall everything that had happened since she entered the bar.
But there was no problem.
Except for Shen Xingkong, no one had touched her.
Why was this bag of drugs found on her? Shen Xinai's head was spinning.
What should she do? What could she do?
"Officer, can this surveillance footage clear my name?" Shen Xingkong asked with a satisfied smile. "Since it's like this, please carry out your duties impartially. The Shen family won't interfere."
The police officer nodded. "Based on the current evidence, it does seem to have nothing to do with you."
"That's good." Shen Xingkong smiled. "In that case, please take her to the police station."
"Don't touch me!" Shen Xinai stepped back two steps, glaring at the approaching police officer. "Have you all been bribed by Shen Xingkong? She's the one who put the drugs on me, why don't you believe me?"
"We only believe in evidence, and this thing was found on you, so we have the right to take you back for investigation."
"I already said that she framed me!"
"We have checked the surveillance according to your request, but we didn't find any problems in the footage. So, please cooperate with the investigation."
The police have seen this kind of thing many times before.
Arrogant and reckless, indulging in vices without regard for consequences, relying on their family background. But once something goes wrong, they become as timid as a mouse that has seen a cat, pushing all the blame onto others.
The police lost their patience and spoke sternly and irresistibly, "Take her away."
"Have you forgotten my identity? I am..."
"You were the one who was afraid that the police would abuse their power for personal gain just now, and now you are the one asking the police to do so. Shen Xinai, I think you are just too full of yourself!"
Shen Xinai's pupils slowly dilated. What did she call herself?
She called herself Shen Xinai???
Didn't she always call herself "sister" before?
"Shen Xingkong, do you know who you are talking to?"
"Shen Xinai, do you need me to repeat what you just said to the police? Or did you just have such a strong attitude because you thought you could successfully frame me for the crime and get away with it?"
Shen Xinai was about to explode with anger, "You're the one who framed me, how can you lie like this!"
"So, are we all blind according to you?" At this point, Qi Heng spoke slowly and disdainfully, "So many people saw it. Shen Xingkong didn't frame you."
"Yeah, we've all seen the surveillance footage, and there's nothing wrong with Shen Xingkong!"
"Miss Shen, everyone should take responsibility for their own actions."
"Blaming others is just despicable. Luckily, the surveillance footage captured everything, or Shen Xingkong would have been wrongly accused."
"Exactly, it's impossible to clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River."
"You guys, shut up!" Shen Xinai glared at everyone. "What has Shen Xingkong done for you to defend her like this?"
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, Qi Rongchen stood up from the sofa, his peach blossom eyes filled with anger. "So you're hiding drugs in my place."
"I... I didn't... I really didn't..." Shen Xinai was frightened by Qi Rongchen's anger, her face pale and panicked, not knowing what to do.
"You're quite bold." Qi Rongchen approached Shen Xinai, his angry eyes like rolling waves, almost overwhelming her.
Shen Xinai was so scared that she couldn't speak, shaking her head repeatedly to deny it.
Qi Rongchen... was much scarier than the police.
"Qi Rongchen, let's leave it to the police to handle." Xingkong rushed over and stood in front of Shen Xinai, facing Qi Rongchen.
"Miss Shen cares so much about her sister."
"Isn't that what she should do?"
Qi Rongchen smiled, thanking Shen Xingkong for her concern.
"For the sake of Miss Shen's good sister, let's leave it to the police to handle."
"Thank you, Qi Rongchen." Xingkong smiled sweetly.
After hearing Qi Rongchen's words, Shen Xinai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was much better to fall into the hands of the police than to fall into Qi Rongchen's hands.
Afraid that Qi Rongchen would change his mind, when the police approached again, Shen Xinai not only did not refuse, but also cooperated and followed them.
She didn't believe it. Even if the drugs were really hers, what could these police officers do to her? Would they dare to do anything to her?
As long as her aunt said a word, wouldn't they have to let her go?
After the police took Shen Xinai away, the remaining people lost interest and left one after another.
Only Qi Rongchen, Qi Heng, and the man who had pushed Shen Xingkong onto the sofa when she had just come in were left.
The three of them looked at Shen Xingkong together.
Shen Xingkong shrugged her shoulders, a bright smile spreading across her delicate features. "Thank you for your cooperation, all three of you."
