21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.
Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...
Xu Xinchen suppressed a laugh, mimicking a policewoman's serious expression: "But what?"
Li Xueyan's heart was gripped by the policewoman's unfinished words. She stared intently at the policewoman, afraid that she might say something that would plunge her into despair.
The policewoman's expression turned serious. Her gaze swept across Li Xueyan's face, and seeing the panic on Li Xueyan's face, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes: "I can open a case for you. If anything happens to you, we will investigate Ms. Li immediately."
Upon hearing the policewoman's words, Li Xueyan's face stiffened, a deep fear welled up in her heart, her eyes darted towards Xu Xinchen, and her lips pressed tightly together.
With a look of suspicion and uncertainty sweeping over Xu Xinchen, Li Xueyan gritted her teeth and said to the policewoman, "Officer, this won't do. Who knows if she'll offend someone else in the future? What if she gets revenge on someone else? Does that mean I'll be held responsible?"
The policewoman shrugged gently, her face showing an innocent expression: "Ms. Li, as long as you don't try to do anything to Ms. Lu, you'll be fine once we've investigated. Why worry so much?"
Li Xueyan was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. She was so nervous because she wanted to do something to Lu Minshi. Now, the policewoman's words had undoubtedly blocked her future path.
Well, I was wondering why Lu Minshi would come to the police station so directly. I never expected that she had this plan all along. This woman is really too cunning. Ordinary people really can't outsmart her.
Xu Xinchen naturally understood the resentful expression on Li Xueyan's face. She smiled disdainfully, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes: "Li Xueyan, what exactly do you want to do to me? Why are you so nervous about just filing a record?"
Li Xueyan was on edge. When she heard Xu Xinchen's words, although she was about to explode with anger, she still had some sense and knew that she couldn't admit that she had ulterior motives.
In an attempt to clear herself of suspicion, she immediately launched into a tirade against Xu Xinchen: "Lu Minshi, if you're suffering from paranoia, don't try to shift the blame onto others. Who would want to harm you? It's clearly because you've done too many bad things that you're so suspicious!"
Seeing Li Xueyan's desperate struggle, Xu Xinchen didn't bother with her. He simply nodded solemnly at Li Xueyan, a serious expression on his face, and turned to the policewoman.
"Officer, I have nothing more to say. Ms. Li is clearly trying to clear herself of all suspicion. I just hope you can prepare a case for me. If anything happens to me, please investigate Ms. Li first."
The policewoman was originally on Xu Xinchen's side, and what's more, judging from their conversation, it seemed that Li Xueyan did indeed have ulterior motives towards Lu Minshi.
Such a serious matter required thorough preparation, so she readily agreed: "Ms. Lu, please rest assured, we will absolutely not let any suspect go easily."
What started as a perfectly good plan was unexpectedly twisted into this way by Xu Xinchen. A deep-seated hatred flashed in Li Xueyan's eyes; she had even forgotten her initial purpose for coming to the police station.
After quickly recording the details in the file, the policewoman turned to Li Xueyan and asked, "Ms. Li, based on your descriptions, the case you just mentioned seems to have no basis in fact."
Li Xueyan's eyes widened immediately, and she was about to speak angrily, but the policewoman was even faster, not giving her a chance to speak at all, and continued to speak.
"Because not only did Miss Lu and Miss Lin not take the initiative to attack you, but it was you who had ulterior motives towards Miss Lu and took the initiative to provoke them. They don't have any responsibility whatsoever for this matter; the responsibility lies entirely with you."
Finally, the policewoman's face hardened: "Therefore, Ms. Li, you will have to bear all the consequences of this matter alone."
Li Xueyan clenched her fist so hard that her bones cracked. She took several deep breaths, then stomped her foot angrily and turned to walk outside, saying, "I understand. I'm not reporting this case!"
The policewoman frowned deeply, staring at Li Xueyan's retreating figure with displeasure. She wanted to call Li Xueyan back and reprimand her for wasting police resources, but after thinking it over, she decided to let it go.
Xu Xinchen watched Li Xueyan walk out of the police station before turning around with a smile to thank the policewoman: "Officer, thank you so much this time."
The policewoman waved her hand dismissively, her face full of indifference: "It's nothing. This matter was Li Xueyan's own mistake and has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, all the things she wants to do are the most terrifying. It's good that you come to the police station to file a report, so that she won't really make a move on you one day."
Xu Xinchen nodded solemnly, then carefully expressed her gratitude to the policewoman before pulling Lin Bingchun along.
They walked out.
Lin Bingchun was already in a daze when Xu Xinchen suddenly started accusing Li Xueyan. It wasn't until they had already left the police station that she realized what she had just experienced.
For a moment, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Xu Xinchen: "My God, Min Shi, we've known each other for so long, and this is the first time I've realized that you are such an eloquent person."
Recalling the policewoman's appearance just now, Xu Xinchen waved his hand casually, revealing a calm expression: "It's nothing, it's just practice makes perfect. If I couldn't be eloquent, how could I have worked in the sales department for so long?"
Lin Bingchun was now full of admiration for Xu Xinchen. Hearing Xu Xinchen's words, she nodded even more vigorously: "You make a good point. But you are still amazing. I was almost too scared to speak in front of that policewoman just now, but you were still very calm."
Xu Xinchen coughed lightly, a slightly embarrassed smile on her face. Should she tell Lin Bingchun that she and the policewoman had actually known each other for a while? After thinking it over carefully, she decided to keep it a secret.
