The other employees gathered around.

Zhou Yi stepped forward, looking down at the counter lady with a cold gaze.

The saleswoman had initially seemed quite aggressive, but upon seeing Zhou Yi's eyes, her mouth, which was about to continue speaking, seemed to be stuck with a banana.

"What are you going to do? I'm warning you, this is the central square, there are security guards right here."

Zhou Yi said calmly, "Who instructed you?"

"Nobody told me to do this!" the counter clerk retorted instinctively.

But she quickly realized what she was saying, her eyes darting around, and said, "I don't understand what you're saying, pay me back now!"

Zhou Yi said expressionlessly, "Have you thought about the consequences?"

Putting aside whether the bracelet is real or fake, the fact that this small shop dared to put something worth 50 million on its counter is suspicious.

Is it because the security in the Demon City is too good, or because the robbers aren't bold enough?

Moreover, it's quite a feat to entrust such a valuable item to a child.

"You're threatening me? Call the police! Someone broke valuables and is threatening me instead of paying for them!" the saleswoman shouted.

The others had various expressions.

Some people felt pity, some hesitated, and some went into the inner room.

A man in a suit walked briskly over.

"I am the store manager of 66fu..."

"You instructed them to do this?" Zhou Yi interrupted directly.

The man looked displeased and said, "Sir, I won't argue with you. I'll let the security guard handle it."

At that moment, an arrogant voice rang out.

"Hahaha! Zhao Yiyi! You've finally met your match? You couldn't even afford to pay back 50 million if you were sold off. You should go to jail right now!"

A boy of about 13 years old walked out from behind the man in the suit.

The little boy had his hair slicked back, wore a white shirt and overalls, and you could tell at a glance that he was the son of a landlord.

"Little Fatty!" Zhao Yiyi turned her head away from Gong Yan's arms.

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow.

It turns out to be the chubby boy from Nanshan who was instantly killed by him in the game.

He remembered that the guy's father was the deputy director of the police department.

The thought had barely formed when footsteps came from behind.

The manager of Liu Liu Fu store went to greet them.

"Captain Huang! You've finally arrived! Someone broke our store's valuable jewelry and tried to frame our sales staff. You must get justice for our store!"

Zhou Yi smiled.

If you're going to pretend, at least try to make it look convincing!

The security guards arrived less than two minutes after the incident. If the world were this efficient, it would be peaceful long ago.

"What's going on?" the security guard known as Captain Huang asked in a deep voice.

The manager of Liu Liu Fu store explained what had happened.

Captain Huang's gaze swept across the area, landing on Gong Yan. His eyes lit up, and he swallowed hard.

This woman is amazing!

He looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Then please return to the station and cooperate with our investigation."

After speaking, he gestured to a young security guard next to him.

The young security guard simply took out a pair of silver bracelets.

Gong Yan immediately spoke up: "We're being taken to the station before the matter is even cleared up. Isn't that against the rules? Besides, we're not criminals, so why are we being put in silver bracelets?"

Captain Huang smiled faintly: "Madam, the tellers all witnessed it with their own eyes, how could it be fake? As for wearing the silver bracelet, it's just in case, there have been too many troublemakers with superpowers lately."

"Of course, you can choose not to wear it if you're willing to cooperate."

He pronounced the word "you" particularly clearly, as if he was referring to something.

A large crowd of onlookers had already gathered outside the shop.

Zhou Yi pointed to the camera.

"The surveillance footage hasn't been checked yet? Your acting is terrible."

Captain Huang said sternly, "How dare you speak like that? You should know that falsely accusing a public official is an even more serious crime!"

The manager of 66F Restaurant smiled and said, "Sorry! The surveillance system is being upgraded, so there is no recording."

Zhou Yi turned to look at Gong Yan.

"Sister-in-law, do you think I need to help?"

Gong Yan's expression changed slightly: "Don't do anything rash, the bureau can handle it."

We can't let this scoundrel get angry.

If someone dies, then it's a very serious matter.

Captain Huang frowned.

How come these guys are so calm?

The chubby boy laughed loudly: "Zhao Yiyi, is this your dad? You're such a braggart. You guys sneaked here from the slums, you didn't just rely on bragging, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Huang felt reassured.

Since they're from the slums, there's nothing to worry about.

As for their designer clothes, they probably just bought them with money earned in the game.

Besides, isn't there Little Fatty's dad to back him up?

"Zhao Yiyi, when you hired someone to kill me last night, did you ever think this day would come? You'll be rotting in jail!" the chubby boy said smugly.

Once you're in jail, you'll be guilty even if you're not, that's what he said!

Zhou Yi chuckled: "Little fatso, being so arrogant will get you struck by lightning. Be careful you don't die a few more times."

"Ha! You could die 100 times and I still wouldn't die..." The chubby boy suddenly realized what was happening and glared angrily at Zhou Yi.

"You're that druid from last night?! Old Huang, arrest him right now! I want him to know why flowers are so red!"

"Let's go, don't make things difficult for us, or I'll make things difficult for you." Captain Huang said calmly to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi then looked towards Gong Yan.

The meaning is quite obvious.

If you can't handle it, then let me do it.

Gong Yan tiptoed and whispered in Zhou Yi's ear, "Go with them. The bureau wants to see who's up to no good. Don't worry, the bodyguards will follow you the whole time."

The heat breathed on Zhou Yi's ear, making him feel a jolt.

No wonder people say that whispering in someone's ear while they're in bed makes a lot of sense. After being whispered in their ear, the anger in my heart decreased by 1%.
