After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Chapter 166

It wasn't until Qin Zhao greeted everyone that they snapped back to reality.

"Brother Luo?"

The handsome police officer who had executed the arrest stood up, handcuffing the bewildered Lang Zhe behind his back with one hand. He greeted cheerfully, "Qin Third, long time no see."

After speaking, his keen eagle-like eyes swept over Ji Fei, but he only nodded, giving a perfunctory greeting.

Ji Fei had been admiring the handsome police officer, thinking his looks were perfect for promotional videos. If he went on a livestream, the screen would surely be filled with viewers calling him "husband" - he was truly a feast for the eyes. But seeing that he knew Qin Zhao and noticing his attitude, she carefully observed his features and tried to recall.

[Oh, I remember now. Luo Fei, one of Qin Xian's good friends. He was college classmates with Qin Xian and Yu Zhi. He really shipped those two, and also knew the truth about their marriage back then... No wonder he's so cold towards me. It seems that after that, even the Qin Family stopped visiting, thinking the Qin family had forced Qin Xian to marry without regard for his happiness.]

Qin Zhao felt awkward hearing this, not expecting his sister-in-law to know so much. But he was quite surprised to see Luo Fei here.

"What are you doing here?" Qin Zhao asked.

"Didn't you call the police?" Luo Fei said, gesturing towards his phone.

Qin Zhao was confused and quickly checked his phone. Earlier, he had casually mentioned to everyone the information he got from Ji Fei that all the evidence was in Lang Zhe's phone, so Qin Xian had given the final plan.

The plan was to call the police while the suspect was still unaware, catching him off guard and taking him to the police station along with the evidence. This way, there would be nothing to worry about.

As it happened, Luo Fei had just returned from a case, so Qin Xian contacted him directly to handle this incident.

Qin Xian had hinted to Luo Fei that based on his discreet investigation, Lang Zhe might be crying thief to catch a thief. But they couldn't reveal themselves to say this, so they asked Luo Fei to investigate on his own. They had only one request: to secure the phone with the evidence the moment they caught him, to avoid causing secondary harm to the victim.

It's easier to get things done with someone you know. Naturally, Luo Fei trusted Qin Xian's judgment, so he directly treated Lang Zhe as a suspect. This completely resolved the concerns Ji Fei and Qin Zhao had.

They didn't expect Lang Zhe to be so stupid as to perform a public act of resisting arrest before anything had even happened, nearly turning himself into a fugitive.

Since things had been arranged this way, Qin Zhao immediately played along.

"Oh my, I'm sorry. I just heard you were going to call the police, so I drafted a message to help Professor Sun find someone familiar to help. I didn't expect to accidentally send it just now," Qin Zhao said.

[Damn! Third Brother, that's brilliant. The timing was perfect. And it's someone we know, so we can hint at things later, right? This is foolproof!]

Qin Zhao sheepishly accepted the praise, apologizing internally to his second brother for stealing his thunder.

Turning to the dumbfounded group, he said, "Since the police are here, Professor Sun, do you want to file a report?"

Sun Man hadn't yet recovered from her earlier suspicions, and facing the police always brought an extra measure of reverence. She quickly took out her phone and honestly explained the whole situation from beginning to end.

"So you're saying the photos were leaked from your phone?" Luo Fei looked directly at Lang Zhe.

Lang Zhe had come to his senses and tried to struggle. "It was an accident. Why are you arresting me?"

Lu Fei couldn't help but step forward, unable to bear seeing her own son being arrested.

"Then you're mistaken. From now on, you're the prime suspect," Luo Fei said without wasting words, directly taking the phone from Lang Zhe's pocket and preserving it as evidence.

"What are you doing!" Lang Zhe almost screamed. He couldn't believe how things had developed this way.

"Prime suspect?" Lu Fei said in shock.

"Yes, usually in these cases, it's someone familiar with the victim. And his claim about losing his phone is just his word. As long as we can find a possibility that he needed a large sum of money recently, he would have an absolute motive to stage a blackmail case. For example, if he has any bad habits, any financial disputes..."

"Does gambling count?" Pei Mingxuan chimed in with perfect timing.

Her words were like a thunderclap out of clear sky. The secret that they thought was well-hidden, that his ex-girlfriend had sworn not to reveal, was suddenly exposed.

"You... you... what did you say?" Lang Zhe couldn't handle the shock, his eyes almost rolling back. He then glared angrily at Sun Man.

Sun Man was also stunned for a moment.

Pei Mingxuan innocently said, "Don't blame me. The police are asking questions, and we ordinary citizens must cooperate and tell everything we know. Besides, if you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place. I can still hear some rumors in the industry."

This was also a statement that the gambling information didn't come from Sun Man, to prevent Lang Zhe from causing trouble for Sun Man later if he was released without charge.

"I... I didn't!" Lang Zhe no longer dared to raise his head. He could feel the burning gaze from his mother's direction.

"He gambles, I can confirm that," Sun Man suddenly spoke up.

With everyone helping her like this, she couldn't possibly let them down at this moment.

Lang Zhe looked at Sun Man in disbelief. Such an obedient girl should respect promises the most. Even though they had broken up, Sun Man shouldn't be capable of exposing someone else's secrets.

But Sun Man looked at him with a numb and sad expression. After all, they were once in love, and sometimes those who are most deeply deceived are also those who understand each other best.

"He once tricked me out of ten million to pay off gambling debts. We broke up after that."

She just never imagined that some people could be so ruthless for the sake of gambling.

But once this setting was accepted, some coincidences were no longer coincidences.

The truth seemed clear even without investigation.

Before anyone could react, Lu Fei slapped Lang Zhe. Luo Fei was very adaptable, quickly moving aside and pretending to break up the fight, letting Lu Fei vent her anger first.

"Was it you? Was it you who did it, you damn brat? What have you done? How could you do such a thing? How can you face Sun Man? How can you face your father and me? How can you face..."

"I didn't, I didn't..."

In the end, Lang Zhe's face was covered in blood, and he was crying as the police who arrived later took him away.

"Ms. Sun, please rest assured. We will have professionals track and handle all photos and videos. We will protect the personal safety, property, and reputation of every citizen," Luo Fei said.

Hearing these words, Sun Man finally teared up again, crying with relief.

Originally, she had prepared herself to face all the storms, but unexpectedly, everything was resolved so suddenly. She didn't know which deity had helped her, but she was grateful to heaven for not pushing her to the brink.

After completing the relevant records, Luo Fei asked, "Ms. Sun, is there anything else you want to request? For example, recovering that ten million?"

Before Sun Man could answer, the previously silent Lu Fei said, "We will pay it back."

Lu Fei looked at Sun Man, who suddenly felt at a loss. Kind-hearted people always tend to feel indebted to others.

Lu Fei said reluctantly, "Don't be like that. We've wronged you. You don't need to have any psychological burden. You're a good child. It's my fault for not disciplining my son properly, which led him to hurt you like this."

She wouldn't blame Sun Man for not telling her about Lang Zhe's gambling and borrowing money. After all, Sun Man was only Lang Zhe's girlfriend at that time and had no real relationship with her. Sun Man had no obligation to help her discipline her child.

Lu Fei could distinguish right from wrong. And she also knew that Lang Zhe had made such a big mistake, it was no longer something she could correct through education.

"You don't need to worry about anything else in this case. Whatever the investigation reveals, handle it accordingly. I won't plead for leniency, nor will I take care of him. It's time for him to learn a lesson," Lu Fei said. As a tiger mom, she could be ruthless when necessary.

"Then, Ms. Sun, can you come to the police station tomorrow after being discharged?" Luo Fei asked.

Sun Man was stunned, her eyes flickering. Just as she was about to nod, Ji Fei suddenly interjected, "So tomorrow's livestream really can't happen?"

[Looks like the director and producer are really going to hang themselves.]

Qin Zhao coughed, seeing Luo Fei's dissatisfied expression. He said, "This might be too difficult for Sun Man."

Just as Sun Man didn't know what to say, Lu Fei spoke up, "I'm willing to accompany you to complete this last stage. We can't let that brat ruin your big event. Do you want to give up this opportunity?"

Sun Man's eyes flickered, and she bit her lip. Finally, she spoke up, "I want to perform on stage."

In the end, Luo Fei also agreed to help them work things out. As they were wrapping up, Sun Man made a bold decision and reported everything, including the lawsuit against her mother and uncle.

Luo Fei looked at Sun's Mother and Sun's Uncle, who were shocked, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "There's a lot to handle today. We'll need to call in more brothers." He immediately contacted some people.

Sun's Mother and Sun's Uncle were so anxious that they started cursing at Sun Man.

Sun Man remained unmoved, but Luo Fei stepped in to rebuke them, "Enough! One more word and it'll be considered threatening the victim."

Sun's Mother and Sun's Uncle were incredulous and cowered.

In the end, when Luo Fei was leaving, the most enthusiastic person seeing him off was unexpectedly Pei Mingxuan.

[What's Sister Pei up to? Has she taken a liking to him and wants to recruit him into the circle as an artist?]

Qin Zhao nearly stumbled. From the first part, he thought she might be interested in pursuing him, but the latter part made him realize that Ji Fei and Pei Mingxuan were, in a sense, cut from the same cloth.

However, both guesses were probably wrong.

Sister Pei was likely asking for a friendly cameo appearance in their stage play.
