1191 There’s Surveillance In The Villa
The police officers usually did not pay attention to business tycoons, but Gu Zheng was the business emperor of Li City. Everyone had naturally heard of his reputation. Moreover, the woman who could marry Gu Zheng was naturally not an ordinary person.
They had thought that it was just an ordinary theft case, but they did not expect the amount involved to be one million yuan. Moreover, it was related to Mr. and Mrs. Gu. It had been a long time since their branch had received such a big case.
The police officer said nervously, “M-Mr. Gu, we want to ask Mrs. Gu about the situation. Do you think…”
Gu Zheng turned his head slightly and looked at the woman beside him lovingly. “Xi Xi.”
Qiao Xi glanced at Xia Yunlou and said helplessly, “It’s every citizen’s duty to cooperate with the police’s investigation. Of course, I won’t refuse. However, Miss Xia, you reported that I stole something. It really surprised me. You were the ones who broke into the Qiao family’s villa. I haven’t called the police to arrest you yet, but you came to the police to say that I stole a bracelet?”
The police officer was stunned. How could this be about trespassing?
Xia Mengyan panicked. “Xi Xi, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to report it to the police either. I was worried that you would go astray and just wanted to teach you a lesson. I don’t have any other intentions. Please don’t blame me! Let’s withdraw the case. Aunt, Xi Xi wouldn’t have stolen the bracelet!”
Seeing her compromise, Xia Yunlou was even angrier. Mengyan was too naive, which was why she thought that Qiao Xi would not steal anything. She was married to Gu Zheng now, and her value had risen. However, she was a wild girl from the countryside in the past. Her bad habit of stealing must have developed at that time. She definitely did not steal for money, but she just could not change this habit of hers.
Why did she have to withdraw the case? It was not easy for her to catch Qiao Xi in the wrong. She would not let Qiao Xi off so easily!
Xia Yunlou was unable to restrain her anger. “You’re not allowed to withdraw the case! She did such an embarrassing thing. Are you afraid of others talking about it? Mr. Gu, I know you might be unhappy, but this bracelet was stolen by Qiao Xi. Why do you have to take a fancy to such a wild girl? Our Mengyan is clearly better than her and more suitable…”
Gu Zheng’s entire body emitted a cold aura. Qiao Xi, who was at the side, suddenly whimpered and threw herself into Gu Zheng’s arms aggrievedly. Her voice was choked with sobs. “I’ll cooperate with the investigation! I never said that I wouldn’t cooperate, but even before the investigation is completed, Madam Xia is insisting that I stole something. She even said that I’m a wild girl who’s not worthy of Ah Zheng. Boo-hoo… I’m so aggrieved!”
A soft cry sounded in the hall. Qiao Xi was crying softly like a pitiful kitten, causing the police officers in the station to feel sorry for her.
Mrs. Gu was too weak. She looked like a little princess who had been pampered since she was young. She had never suffered such grievances. It was probably the first time she had been accused of stealing in her life, so she could not help but cry.
What shocked everyone was that Gu Zheng was extremely gentle. He hugged Mrs. Gu in his arms and coaxed her gently for a long time. There was no trace of impatience in his eyes.
Qiao Xi hugged Gu Zheng’s waist with her weak little hands. She raised her eyes slightly to look at him and said delicately, “Ah Zheng, I’m so scared!”
Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Xi, whose eyes were slightly red but without a trace of tears. He gently touched her head, bent down slightly, and whispered into her ear, “Stop fooling around.”
Qiao Xi acted as if she did not hear anything. She gently wiped the corners of her eyes and said in a soft and aggrieved voice, “If Madam Xia doesn’t believe me, then investigate me. In order to prove my innocence, I’ve already sent someone to get the surveillance cameras in the villa. There are surveillance cameras in every corner of the villa. When the time comes, everyone will know if I stole the bracelet or not.”
“I can make a statement now.” Qiao Xi took a deep breath, then a female police officer brought Qiao Xi into the interrogation room.
Everyone couldn’t help but sigh. A real big shot was indeed different. Even though Mrs. Gu felt aggrieved, she was willing to cooperate with the police. Moreover, she was willing to take out the surveillance footage as evidence, which meant that she most likely didn’t steal it.
Madam Xia, on the other hand, was making a fuss the moment she entered. She insisted that Miss Qiao had stolen something without any evidence and even ordered them to arrest her. She was really unreasonable.
At this moment, Xia Mengyan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. There were surveillance cameras in the villa?
She bit her lip nervously, feeling uneasy. She quickly walked up to Xia Yunlou and said in a low voice, “Aunt, forget it. Xi Xi is ready to check the surveillance footage. It seems that she really didn’t steal the bracelet. We wronged her…”
