"That's my family matter, you have no right to interfere."

“That’s my family matter, and I ask General Lin to know his place.” Zhou Siyu’s eyes were indifferent as he casually played with his long hair. “I respect you as a soldier and as Yu Wei’s brother, but that doesn’t mean I’m without a temper.”

"Clean your own mess before you try to control others, and stop disgusting people everywhere."

"It's Yu Wei's freedom to like whomever he wants, and it's his choice to be with whomever he wants. Even his father has no right to interfere, so what right do you have to tell him what to do?"

It's just an argument, right? Zhou Siyu has never lost one since he was a child.

Lin Gu was stunned. He used to think that he and Yu Wei were just friends and that their relationship was just mutual concern between friends. But after Zhou Siyu said that, it really didn't seem right.

No! He's clearly making excuses! How did I fall for his trap?

Damn it! Zhou Siyu is a monster who's good at bewitching people. No wonder Zhenzhen was blown around by his demonic wind and refused to go back with him. It must be Zhou Siyu's doing!

"I am all ears for any further advice from General Lin."

Zhou Siyu picked at his ear and looked at Lin Gu with a leisurely air.

"Yu Wei has been arrested. The police say he is a prime suspect."

"oh."

Zhou Siyu raised an eyebrow. No wonder she hadn't seen Yu Wei all day; he had gone out for tea.

"Don't worry about this..."

"You talk like you have a solution." Zhou Siyu sneered and began contacting Yu Wen.

"President, what are your orders?"

"Yu Wen, find a few of the most famous lawyers in the alliance, the kind who can handle criminal cases. They must be in front of me by tomorrow morning."

"Yes, President." Yu Wen paused, still uneasy, and then added, "It's over there..."

"There's been a minor problem, but it's resolvable. You take good care of the head office."

“Okay, President, but…” Yu Wen hesitated, and Zhou Siyu couldn’t help but be curious.

"What's wrong?"

"Zhou Qi has been acting a bit unruly lately..."

"If he doesn't behave, deal with him." Zhou Siyu thought it was something serious. "Does little Karami even deserve your trouble?"

"Pfft."

Yu Wen couldn't help but chuckle. Zhou Qi was, after all, the owner of the largest mine in the alliance, yet he was being belittled like this by the president.

"Alright, hurry up and find the person for me."

"Yes, Mr. President."

Yu Wen hung up the communicator and called his secretary to find the lawyer's information.

"Don't mess around!"

"Making a mess?" Zhou Siyu scoffed dismissively. "Waiting for you to go get reinforcements? Give me a break."

Lin Gu was about to speak when Zhou Siyu swallowed all his words back down.

“I am Yu Wei’s partner, his closest relative besides his father and father, and the person most qualified to help him resolve this matter.”

"General Lin, legally speaking, you are considered another relative of Yu Wei. If I remember correctly, you should not be eligible."

"Heh, Mr. Zhou is very wealthy and generous. I'll leave this matter to you."

Lin Gu was furious, but he had no reason to be angry. Zhou Siyu was telling the truth, and he really had no right to interfere in this matter.

However, he had other methods; today's conversation was merely to inform Zhou Siyu.

"No need to see me out."

Zhou Siyu turned around and watched as the pure white milk was slowly poured into the cup, her eyes lowered as if lost in thought.

Walking to the table and turning on the computer, Zhou Siyu randomly searched for her own and Yu Wei's names, and all the results were speculations about Zhang Jin's cause of death.

The most talked-about topic is the love-hate relationship between Zhou Siyu, Yu Wei, and Zhang Jin. Someone leaked the video, and the comments are extremely polarized.

After glancing at it briefly, Zhou Siyu closed her laptop, turned around, slumped onto the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

The next day, Zhou Siyu was greeted not by a lawyer, but by police officers.

The weather is awful today!

Zhou Siyu looked at the clear blue sky and complained.

"Mr. Zhou, it's nice to see you again."

Ning An put down her notebook and cup, and turned on the desk lamp.

"I need to see a lawyer." Zhou Siyu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. "I won't say a word until my lawyer arrives."

"Mr. Zhou, we just want to understand the situation with you."

"I need to see a lawyer. You should talk to him."

Zhou Siyu crossed her legs, her fair and slender legs swaying gently, her slippers seemingly about to fall off at any moment, yet they remained firmly attached to her feet.

The three remained deadlocked for a while, and Ning An sighed helplessly.

"Don't you want to know..."

"I don't want to." Zhou Siyu slightly raised her eyelids. "If you have the ability, then bring evidence and an arrest warrant to my door to arrest me. If you don't have the ability, then don't waste your time talking nonsense here."

The Alliance police system is relatively new, and the truly capable officers are all in the interstellar police departments. The police capabilities of the sector police departments and planetary police departments are equivalent to the patrol personnel who maintained order in the former Empire, whose status was only slightly higher than that of slaves in the past.

He's neither good at academics nor martial arts; aside from helping find stray cats and dogs and stopping group fights, he's not very useful.

"Zhou Siyu, you..."

"What's wrong with me? As the second-largest taxpayer in the alliance, am I paying money to support a bunch of useless trash?"

"Eating rice for nothing, occupying a position without doing anything, a useless piece of trash, a parasite of the alliance, does he really think he's so great?"

"Using the latest and most advanced system, yet the cases you handle are so appalling they're unbearable to look at. Did you throw your brains into the toilet to clean the toilet bowl?"

"You have the autopsy report, right? You can check the surveillance footage, right? Luojiang has a population of less than 50,000. You could find them one by one by eliminating them. Why are you targeting me? Did I dig up your ancestral graves or steal your partners?"
