Chapter 3988: A Perfect Match (184)
Liang Yin held her breath but did not speak. However, her slightly heavy breathing made Qin Zhou sense that something was amiss.
“What’s wrong? Are you crying?”
Liang Yin knew that she could not hide it anymore. She covered her mouth and sobbed, “I’m fine.”
She was crying, he was sure of it. He knew she must have had a bad time, and remained calm. “What happened?” he asked gently. “Tell me about it.”
Liang Yin didn’t want to say. However, Qin Zhou was capable. His tone was gentle and extremely patient. Soon, Liang Yin’s psychological defense was completely shattered.
“I ... I didn’t steal anything ...” She choked back a sob. “I really didn’t... Why don’t they believe me!?”
Finally, Qin Zhou showed a hint of anxiousness.
“Where are you? I’ll be right there!?”
“I’m at...”
The store manager saw that she was stammering. Without thinking, she stepped forward, snatched the phone out of her hand and spoke into the receiver, “Hello, this is the store manager of the Bulgari counter. How are you related to her?”
Liang Yin panicked and nervously reached out to snatch the phone back. However, in the next second, she heard the store manager express suspicion. “Her boyfriend?”
Boom!
It was as if something had exploded in her head! Her eyes widened in great surprise.
Qin Zhou... said what? Calling himself her boyfriend?!
She was incredulous.
“Anyway, come over here! Your girlfriend is suspected of stealing jewelry and she’s now in police custody!” The store manager gave him the address.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Zhou arrived. In fact, he was driving past the department store and had wanted to ask Hua Jin and Liang Yin out to discuss the contract over dinner. After the call with Liang Yin and upon learning of the incident, he immediately turned the car around.
Qin Zhou pushed open the door of the office and saw the scene before him.
The police officer was standing next to the surveillance desk. The store manager had her arms folded across her chest, looking pompous. Liang Yin had fallen onto the seat of a chair. Her disheveled hair fell all around her face, making it impossible to see her expression. However, she was curled up, looking especially lonely, like a frightened little rabbit.
The store manager was startled when she saw Qin Zhou. The man was in a suit, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was an elite. He was handsome, tall, and had an air of authority about him.
For some reason, his appearance made the manager feel a little guilty! Was this her boyfriend?! He looked like a rich and powerful man. With such a boyfriend, the likelihood of her stealing something was indeed not high.
But, there were also rich people who stole things. Perhaps this woman had some special fetish?! With that thought, she forced herself to calm down.
Qin Zhou walked over to Liang Yin without looking at the others. He placed his hand gently on her shoulder. Her shoulders flinched slightly. She finally looked up at Qin Zhou. Tears welled in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. She didn’t dare look at him for long, for fear he’d see how wretched she looked.
Qin Zhou looked up, finally giving the others a quick glance. He snorted and said, “Can someone explain?”
The policeman was about to say something, but the store manager spoke first and clarified what had gone on.
After hearing the explanation, Qin Zhou let out an icy laugh, clearly dismissive. “Stealing? So, you guys were just being suspicious, shirking your responsibilities, and you want to perform a body search, right?”
