Chapter 315 What I Saw with My Own Eyes
Shen Zhixia returned quickly.
Aunt Qian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the cloth bag she had taken out was gone, and said, "The money has already been transferred?"
Shen Zhixia said, "Yes."
Aunt Qian exclaimed, "You're quite fast!"
Shen Zhixia lied without batting an eye: "I was just lucky to run into Shen Zhou outside the door."
When Aunt Qian heard Huo Chenzhou's name, she was filled with admiration: "Deputy Division Commander Huo is a capable man, and he's good to you. Marrying him is a good thing."
Huo Chenzhou is now the deputy division commander. Whenever his name is mentioned, everyone will treat him with respect.
Aunt Qian felt that he was good to his daughter-in-law and was a really good person. Now that Huo Chenzhou was helping her, she had no worries at all.
Even if Xiaoya comes later, she won't find the money. Huo Chenzhou will definitely hide it very well. Let's see how they can frame them then.
Shen Zhixia just smiled and said, "Yes, he's very good to me."
Aunt Qian said smugly, "Let's see how smug they can be this time. Do you think they're stupid? They've been planning this for so long, didn't they ever think we would transfer the money out? Oh, they must have thought we didn't know about their plan, so they overlooked it."
Shen Zhixia said, "We are still one step ahead."
Actually, Xiaoya and the others are quite clever. When Shen Zhixia went out just now, she found that there were four people guarding the warehouse door. This was just what she saw. She didn't know how many more people were secretly sent to guard them, just to prevent them from going out.
But no one expected that even if they didn't go out, she would still find a way to hide the things, and hide them in a place that no one would expect.
Shen Zhixia didn't tell anyone about the space, not even her closest relatives. She deliberately kept it a secret. Her life was peaceful, and she rarely used the space. However, the space was still filled with too many things. If she really encountered a famine or some other accident, she could survive for a long time.
Now that she's encountered this unexpected situation, her personal space has come in handy.
Aunt Qian said, "That's good. Now no matter how many people try to frame us, we don't have to be afraid."
She had intended to continue sorting the cans, but suddenly stopped: "I wanted to keep sorting the cans for them, but never mind, there's no need for that."
She sat down on the ground; she was exhausted from working like this for so long.
Shen Zhixia said, "They must be worried about leaving so much money here. They'll be here soon."
Her guess was right. Soon, a large group of people walked over. Judging from their voices, there must have been dozens of them. This was quite a grand affair.
The person in charge was not Xiaoya, but a police officer in uniform.
The police asked, "Are you Shen Zhixia and Qian Lai?"
Aunt Qian was startled when she saw the police. As a law-abiding citizen, this was the first time she had seen such a scene, and she was naturally afraid. However, when she thought that she had not done anything wrong and that even her only "stolen goods" had been dealt with by Shen Zhixia, she immediately calmed down.
She held her head high and said, "Yes, I am Qian Lai, and this is Shen Zhixia. We are colleagues. We are sorting canned goods here. Officers, what do you need me for?"
Aunt Qian's voice was so loud that it surprised the police.
She didn't look like someone who had stolen anything. You know, people who have done bad things are usually very guilty. If you saw them, they would definitely tremble when they spoke. But Aunt Qian's eyes were clear and her voice was calm. She was acting as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Shen Zhixia nodded: "I am Shen Zhixia."
The police officer frowned and said, "Someone reported you for stealing money from the factory."
As he spoke, he ordered his men to search.
Although the warehouse was large, it only had rows of shelves and canned goods on the shelves. It was easy to see whether anything was hidden or not. Obviously, there was no money anywhere.
As for Shen Zhixia and Aunt Qian, it's impossible for them to have three thousand yuan on them.
They're not wearing many clothes these days, so if they're hiding money, it'll definitely be noticeable.
Aunt Qian's eyes widened: "What money? I've never even heard of it. How could I possibly steal money? Are you mistaken?"
The police officer said, "There's no mistake, it was them who reported you."
He pointed in front of him, and Xiaoya, still wearing a smug smile, didn't retract her hand. Aunt Qian then met her smug gaze.
Xiaoya: "..."
Although she already knew that Xiaoya was behind her scheme, Aunt Qian still felt a surge of anger. After all, Xiaoya hadn't said anything and had directly reported it to the police—how insidious!
Aunt Qian stepped forward and slapped Xiaoya across the face: "So you're the one who reported me behind my back, right? I haven't even met you today, how could I steal money? Did I steal money from you? Did you see it with your own eyes? You're really sick in the head, I've been wrongly accused for no reason."
Xiaoya was hit and wanted to fight back, but when she saw the police there, she held back: "Aunt Qian, since I reported you, of course I saw it with my own eyes. Today I took the money to the office, intending to give it to the factory director, but when I came back from the toilet, I saw you and Shen Zhixia stealing the money."
“I originally wanted you to return the money, but you ran away too fast. I was afraid of alerting you and not being able to get the money back, so I had someone keep an eye on you and quickly went to report it to the police.”
Aunt Qian never expected that Xiaoya could be so shameless, lying through her teeth.
She raised her hand and swore: "Officer, I have worked in the factory for so many years, always conscientious and kind. I have never done anything like stealing. You can ask around about my character. This time, she is just slandering me. I have never stolen anything."
The police ignored her advice; since they were already there, they began the search.
What if we could find that money?
But the warehouse was only so big, and they searched everywhere but couldn't find the money.
Xiaoya quickly said, "If it's not here, it must be outside. Go check the restroom; I bet they put the money there."
So they went to the toilet to look for it, but still couldn't find it.
Aunt Qian was full of confidence: "I told you she was framing me. I already said I didn't steal the money. She's just making things up. I think she embezzled the money, so she's trying to frame me. She just wants to find a scapegoat."
The police were also somewhat suspicious: "Are you sure? They really stole the money and hid it here?"
“I’m sure they hid it here. I saw them leave the money here after they stole it. It must be here. We have to search thoroughly. We’re sure we’ll find it,” Xiaoya said firmly.
