Chapter 57 Planning to Go Back
At this moment, Shen's father understood why he felt something was wrong and thought that the police and Shen Zhixia knew each other. It turned out that Shen Zhixia had reported them.
Shen Zhixia, that bitch!
She actually tricked him.
His eyes widened in fury: "You wretched daughter, what good has this done to you? Isn't your dowry all here?"
He never imagined that Shen Zhixia would betray him. After all, Shen Zhixia's mind couldn't hold much, and besides, she had left her mother's dowry here.
If the police come to investigate, won't they just seize all her assets as well?
Shen Zhixia sneered, "Father, you tricked me into coming back so you could steal my dowry. That way, I'll be of no use to you anymore. But I don't want to be used by you."
"Anyway, it doesn't matter who gets the dowry, I'd rather give it to the country."
The father was filled with shock: "You told you all this?"
He thought Shen Zhixia was kept in the dark all along, but he never expected that Shen Zhixia knew so much.
Just then, Wang Qiming, who was standing nearby, said excitedly, "Zhixia, I am innocent. You should go to the police station and plead my case. This is your Shen family's property being transported. It has nothing to do with me."
He looked at Shen Zhixia with deep affection: "You can't bear to see me go to jail, can you? We're still going to get married when we get out."
Shen Zhixia looked at him with disgust: "I just want to see you go to jail. You scumbag took a lot of money from the Shen family, so you colluded with them. You are no different from them."
Wang Qiming's face was full of shock. He didn't expect Shen Zhixia to even know about his taking money. But he quickly forced a bitter smile: "Zhixia, let bygones be bygones. I'll give you half of the money I received. In your current state, no one will want you, but I sincerely want to marry you."
He said excitedly, "Go tell the police that this has nothing to do with me. After we get out, I'll marry you, okay? Let's get married right away."
Shen Zhixia: "?"
Did Wang Qiming think he was some kind of hot commodity? As if marrying her was some great favor he was doing for her.
Shen Zhixia finally couldn't hold back and slapped him on the right cheek. She had obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she slapped him on the left cheek as well.
Now, both sides of Wang Qiming's face were swollen.
Shen Zhixia spat, "You're all arrogant after drinking a little horse piss. If you dare mess with me, you're in for a world of hurt! You're ugly, yet you dream of marrying me? Dream on!"
Wang Qiming didn't even have time to fight back. He felt stunned by the blow, his face burning with pain, and his ears ringing.
He thought he was handsome and charming, and that Shen Zhixia must be deeply in love with him. After all, Shen Zhixia used to be the most infatuated with him. This time, she divorced her husband and still insisted on coming to find him. Wasn't that because she liked him?
Why is reality different from what he imagined?
His face darkened. "How do you know so much?" he asked.
Shen Zhixia sneered, "When I came back, I heard about Zhang Mei and Shen Jinxiu's conspiracy. You wanted to join forces to deceive me, but I won't let you have that chance."
Now the truth has come to light.
No matter how they explain, Shen Zhixia won't believe them.
Thinking of this, Shen's father glared hatefully at Zhang Mei and Shen Jinxiu. It was all their fault for being careless and revealing the secret, which allowed Shen Zhixia to discover everything.
A sinister glint flashed in Shen's father's eyes. Since they couldn't get away, Shen Zhixia wouldn't have an easy time either. He suddenly shouted, "Officer, I admit that these are indeed Shen family's things, but there are also some assets that Shen Zhixia brought. You just need to check to find out. Shen Zhixia's mother left her a large part of her dowry. I don't know what it is, but it's all packed in these boxes."
"Shen Zhixia is not innocent either, arrest her."
The police officer glanced at him and said disdainfully, "We've already investigated. Ms. Shen donated all of her dowry to the research institute. The golden phoenix crown you mentioned is currently at the institute."
"But you are not like Ms. Shen's biological father. You have no awareness of her at all and even secretly transferred assets in private."
"What did you say?"
Mr. Shen's heart raced, and he was extremely agitated: "She...she donated? So much money, how could she have donated it all? You must have made a mistake."
The police officer looked at him with disdain: "Ms. Shen has a much broader perspective than you."
After saying that, a group of police officers escorted them away.
Shen Zhixia watched the group's departing figures with satisfaction. Sure enough, this was their fate.
Shen's father stared intently at Shen Zhixia until he completely disappeared.
He now understands that he has been tricked by Shen Zhixia, but there are still some things he doesn't understand.
He clearly saw Shen Zhixia give all her dowry to them; when did she donate her dowry to the research institute?
When exactly did Shen Zhixia begin planning all of this?
She really played a very big game for him.
Now that the Shen family's assets have been confiscated, they will also be imprisoned. Once they are released, their lives will be over.
Of course, they didn't expect things to get even worse.
Police discovered that many of their boxes were filled with stones and contained no valuables at all. They suspected the group of smuggling and claimed that they had already successfully smuggled a batch of valuables. They demanded that the group hand over the valuables.
Shen's father was truly wronged. He insisted that the boxes were filled with valuables, so how could there be stones inside?
You should know that he and Zhang Mei packed those boxes themselves. He opened and checked many of them, and there wouldn't be any problems.
Or perhaps Zhang Mei put stones inside.
Zhang Mei thought so too. She believed that the stones must have been planted by Shen's father, and that the real valuables had already been moved by him. She thought that Shen's father did this because he didn't trust them.
The three of them were interrogated together, so Zhang Mei looked at Shen's father and said, "Old Shen, just hand over the valuables, and we'll suffer less."
Father Shen was furious: "I already said it wasn't me. If it wasn't you and it wasn't me, then who put the stones in the box?"
After the two had a fight, they suddenly looked at Shen Jinxiu, who had been silent all along.
Shen Jinxiu: "...It's none of my business."
The group eventually began to suspect each other, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
However, none of this mattered to Shen Zhixia anymore. She went back to pack her things and prepared to return home. She sent a telegram to Huo Chenzhou to indicate that she was about to go back.
Communication is so inconvenient these days. If only we had smartphones, she could text Huo Chenzhou every day.
I wonder if Huo Chenzhou misses her?
Meanwhile, in the military camp, Huo Chenzhou had been working almost non-stop since Shen Zhixia left, sometimes not even going back home, which made everyone's scalp tingle.
