“Who is it?” Fifth Young Master Shen was surprised by the news. Someone had called the police but he did not detect anything suspicious throughout the night. Who made the call? What had happened?
Being the chief of police, it was natural for him to concern himself with matters like this.
“We only know the call was made by a woman. She didn’t declare her name but she sounded really terrified and lost.” The reliable young dispatch already got hold of the situation.
“Are you sure this is the right place?” Fifth Young Master Shen remained doubtful. He suspected the police had misheard the details because he had been here all night and did not notice anything peculiar.
“This is definitely the right place. Leng Jue private room 505,” the young policeman replied affirmatively.
“What?” Emotions chased over his features in quick succession. “Isn’t that Young Master Leng’s private room? It’s rare for him to call the police. Something grave must have happened.”
Could it be a homicide?
It could not have been. Based on his understanding of Young Master Leng, the latter would not have called the police even if there was a homicide.
So what the hell happened?
“I’ll tag along.” Fifth Young Master Shen appeared solemn. He reckoned things must have taken a horrible wrong turn.
Fifth Young Master Shen entered the private room along with the two policemen. However, out of his expectation, the atmosphere was unusually quiet and the environment exceptionally tidy.
Fifth Young Master Shen’s eyes shone with surprise. What was the matter? Nothing seemed to have happened. Why did someone call the police if nothing went wrong?
Did they think that policemen had a lot of spare time?
Fifth Young Master Shen’s face darkened visibly but he soon noticed everyone in the crowd, no matter seated or on their feet, was focusing their attention toward the same direction. Several people surrounded that corner hence he could not make clear of the situation.
“May I ask who was the one that notified the police?” The other policemen were also stunned. It did not seem like something had happened, judging from the appearance of the room. Did someone pull a prank?
“It’s her. She’s the one that called the police.” Sun Ru jumped to her feet almost immediately and shouted aloud while pointing her finger at Chu Wuyou. She yelled out loud to ensure her words were audible to the police.
The policemen picked up their pace and hurried forward. Fifth Young Master Shen was a curious man by nature hence he trailed after them too.
“First Young Lady Chu.” Fifth Young Master Shen was visibly surprised when he discovered Chu Wuyou. Why was she here? What was she doing here?
Besides, why did she call the police for no reason?
Fifth Young Master Shen addressed her by First Young Lady Chu instead of Third Sister-in-law.
There was a massive difference between those two terms.
In his opinion, Chu Wuyou was a poor match for his Third Elder Brother in all ways.
Upon hearing Fifth Young Master Shen’s voice, those people among the crowd that had not recognized the woman earlier gasped at the realization.
They marveled at the recovery of Chu Wuyou because she seemed to have changed into a whole new person.
“Chief Shen.” Chu Wuyou behaved even more politely. Her performance was disciplined and by-the-book.
“You’re the one who called the police?” Fifth Young Master Shen’s eyes twinkled. “What happened?”
“She stole from us. She stole Yuxin’s necklace and hid it inside her purse.” Surprised, Sun Ru was worried for a couple of seconds upon hearing Fifth Young Master Shen calling the woman First Young Lady Chu, but the concern was replaced with delight immediately once she remembered the First Young Lady Chu was slow-witted.
A trace of disgust flashed across Fifth Young Master Shen’s eyes at the sound of Sun Ru’s accusation.
Even if he did not accept Chu Wuyou as his sister-in-law, she was Third Elder Brother’s wife nonetheless. He could never allow outsiders to put her into such a difficult position, therefore...
