Chapter 40 - CHAPTER 40: WHO DARES CAUSE TROUBLE

Shen Xinai's heart was filled with horror. Even though she was arrogant, she realized the seriousness of the situation. "This thing is not mine. It's not mine. Someone must be trying to frame me. Yes, someone wants to frame me!" Shen Xinai thought for a moment, then suddenly glared at Xingkong. "It's you, isn't it? When you hugged me just now, you secretly put the thing in my clothes. Shen Xingkong, you're really despicable!"

"Sister, I didn't," Xingkong denied, shaking her head.

Shen Xinai naturally didn't believe her. She knew whether the thing was hers or not. So she firmly believed that Shen Xingkong was trying to frame her. Otherwise, how could she coincidentally appear here for no reason?

"It must be you. Shen Xingkong, you've always been dissatisfied with me, so you want to frame me. It was the same at the school banquet, and it's the same today. It's a good thing that our Shen family has been so good to you, but you're just an ungrateful person." It was the same old story. Shen Xinai was not tired of saying it, but Xingkong was tired of hearing it.

Many times, Xingkong really wanted to ask Shen Xinai how she could be so shameless and brazen, even though she knew her own identity better than anyone else, she could still lie so confidently.

"Shen Xingkong, I advise you to admit it now. Don't wait until things get out of hand and it's too late to turn back!" Shen Xinai put her hands on her chest, her eyes slightly raised, and her seemingly well-meaning persuasion was filled with excitement.

"Whether it's me or not, you'll know by watching the surveillance video," Xingkong suddenly changed from her cowardly appearance, her eyes and eyebrows carrying a hint of coldness.

"Then let's watch it!" Shen Xinai was convinced that Shen Xingkong was trying to frame her, so she nodded without hesitation.

"Mr. Policeman, although I am her sister, she has never repented and I can't persuade her anymore. Let's just look at the surveillance footage, and do whatever needs to be done. The Shen family will not interfere in any way. As for Mr. Liang... I believe that if he were still alive, with his character, he would certainly uphold justice."

When Mr. Liang passed away, Xingkong was only about two years old, and her impression of him was limited but deep. He was tall and thin, with a dignified appearance, and he loved dumplings especially.

Thinking of her grandfather who had passed away for a long time, Xingkong's heart ached. She would never allow anyone to smear his name.

The policeman was satisfied with Xingkong's response. "We won't wrong a good person, but we won't let any criminals go either. Go and call the boss, and retrieve the surveillance footage from the private room."

"Yes, Captain!"

Shen Xinai was not worried at all. Instead, she looked at Shen Xingkong with a hint of schadenfreude. This fool thought that she couldn't see through such a simple attempt to frame her? Wait until the surveillance footage is retrieved, and see how she can still argue her way out of it. That's drugs in there, and she will have to pay for it!

When Qi Rongchen received a call from the manager about someone hiding drugs, he was fooling around with a young model he had just met.

Thinking of the call he received half an hour ago, he smirked. "I'll let you go today, but I have some business to attend to. Next time..." Qi Rongchen blew a breath into the young model's ear, wicked and ambiguous. "Next time, wait for me after you've cleaned up."

The young model blushed and glared at Qi Rongchen coquettishly. "You're so annoying!"

The expression on her face showed no disgust at all.

She was full of charm and seemed to have something to say but held back.

Qi Rongchen's heart itched as he watched her. "Contact my assistant. I'll arrange a supporting actress for you."

The young model's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek. "Thank you, Mr. Qi!"

Qi Rongchen stood up, adjusted his slightly flamboyant patterned suit, and smiled even more charmingly. "Baby, be good."

He turned and left.

He wanted to see who had the guts to ruin his mood!

He went downstairs to the private room with his manager.

He immediately spotted Shen Xinai standing in the crowd and made a disdainful noise.

He walked past the crowd and sat down on the sofa.

As the only heir of the Qi family, one of the four major families in Yun City, he usually acted carelessly, but he still managed to suppress a group of spoiled children in terms of aura.

After all, there was a class barrier between these people and the Qi family that could not be broken even if they tried for ten generations.

He crossed his long legs and rested his arms casually on the sofa, smiling but not reaching his eyes. "As a police officer, you should know that my establishment never allows any illegal activities."

"Mr. Qi, we received a report that someone is hiding drugs, so we need to conduct a surprise inspection. Please cooperate." The police knew Qi Rongchen's rules.

"Of course I'll cooperate. I actually want to see who has the guts to make trouble in my establishment!" Although he said this with a smile, it sent shivers down people's spines.

Qi Rongchen was a person with elegant manners and a seemingly easy-going personality. However, everyone knew that this perfect balance made him seem approachable, yet always kept people at a distance.

Shen Xinai was feeling pleased with herself, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction as she looked up at Xingkong.

Daring to cause trouble in Qi's territory... Shen Xinai just wanted to give her six words of advice: "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

"I've already retrieved the surveillance footage. Manager, please hand it over to the police," Qi said.

"Yes, Mr. Qi."

As the manager prepared to hand over the footage, Shen Xinai suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Qi, if you find the true owner of this package of drugs, you won't let them off lightly, will you?"

Although the Shen family had fallen behind the Qi family after Liang's death, and their social circles were different, everyone knew about Qi's rules.

Under no circumstances would he tolerate any form of illegal activity.

Once discovered, there would be no mercy!

There was once a person who broke the rules and was caught. Qi had broken his legs and expelled him from Yundu!

The thought of Shen Xingkong possibly having her legs broken or being expelled from Yundu made her excited.

She looked at the police officer and asked, "What are the consequences of drug possession? How many years of imprisonment?"

"For possession of more than ten grams, the sentence is up to three years of imprisonment, detention, or control, and a fine. For more serious cases, the sentence is three to seven years of imprisonment, and a fine," the police officer replied to Shen Xinai's question.

Shen Xinai glanced at the white powder in the police officer's hand, unable to estimate how much there was.

But it didn't matter. Even if there was only one gram, Shen Xingkong wouldn't be able to get away with it!

"Will you not protect anyone? Will you enforce the law impartially no matter who it is?" Shen Xinai asked again.

"Yes."

"That's good. I just wanted to make sure. I was afraid you might abuse your power later," Shen Xinai said confidently.

The police officers remained silent.

Xingkong, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but roll her eyes. They seemed to be clear-headed now.

"Okay, I'm fine now. You can start the surveillance," Shen Xinai said as she walked over to Qi Rongchen and sat down.

Qi Rongchen withdrew his arm in disgust and moved aside.

Shen Xinai sighed.

"Go ahead," Qi Rongchen said.

"Yes!" The manager received the order and started playing the surveillance footage.

The video started from the moment when Shen Xingkong got out of the car at the entrance of the bar and continued until she threw herself at Shen Xinai and was pushed away.
