Chapter 60 What right do you have to arrest her?
Mr. Shen was in no good mood. He had been waiting here all day, hoping that Zhang Mei would come to save him, but Zhang Mei was fine, and he ended up getting himself killed.
What a fool who's good for nothing but causing trouble.
Moreover, it seems that no amount of money can get Zhang Mei out of this mess.
It seems that in the end, only Shen Jinxiu can save him.
Father Shen clasped his hands together and silently prayed, "Jinxiu, this time I'm counting on you."
On the other side, Zhang Mei was crying very hard: "I'm innocent! It really has nothing to do with me. Shen Zhixia stole my things. I was so agitated that I didn't see my father having a seizure."
"Waaaaah, that's my own father! How could I bear to see him die?"
“Let me tell you, Shen Zhixia has a lot of property, all of which she stole. The property in the Shen family’s box was stolen by her, as were the savings book and gold bars that I kept in my father’s possession.”
It has to be said that Zhang Mei's casual remark actually revealed the truth of the matter.
Since it was Shen Zhixia who harmed her anyway, she can just pin all the blame on her now.
The uniformed police officer in front of him asked, "Do you have any evidence to support your claims?"
evidence……
Zhang Mei is just spouting nonsense; where is her evidence?
But everything requires evidence.
The reason she was arrested by the police this time was because she was with the old man who was having an episode, which is why she was so unlucky.
It's strange, why did things happen so coincidentally? She had just come to see the old man when the police arrived, as if someone was watching her, which was really creepy.
The police officer said, "You have no evidence, so you can't talk nonsense."
This means they don't believe her and won't try to catch Shen Zhixia.
Zhang Mei felt something was off.
She had always had a smooth life before, but everything started going wrong after Shen Zhixia came along. Shen Zhixia was her jinx.
Fortunately, she had reported Shen Zhixia before she went to the police station.
If the police don't arrest Shen Zhixia, someone else will.
Zhang Mei sneered. This time, she had reported Shen Zhixia to the committee, and the director there was on good terms with her. He would definitely teach Shen Zhixia a lesson.
After sending Zhang Mei back to prison, Shen Zhixia felt much better. She was strolling down the street when suddenly a group of people walked towards her.
The man in the lead was in his forties. He had slanted eyes that gave people a cold and sinister feeling when he looked at them.
He stared at Shen Zhixia as if she were being stared at by a venomous snake: "You are Shen Zhixia?"
Someone nearby said respectfully, "Director Yuan, I've seen her photo. She is Shen Zhixia."
Director Yuan!
Shen Zhixia's breath hitched.
Director Yuan was a good friend of Shen's father and Zhang Mei. In the book, after the Shen family all went to Hong Kong, it was Director Yuan who personally came to arrest the original owner of the body. It was probably on the orders of the Shen family. Director Yuan was very cruel to the original owner of the body, taking away all the last bit of money she had and sending her to the most difficult Northwest.
That's why the original owner, who had no ability to protect herself, died such a tragic death.
But the situation is completely different from what's described in the book. So why did Director Yuan still approach her?
Even if it's a transfer to a lower-level position, it will still take some time...
Shen Zhixia said calmly, "I am Shen Zhixia. What do you want with me?"
Director Yuan stared coldly at her: "We received a report that your father smuggled valuables, but the valuables have disappeared. Those valuables are in your hands, aren't they? We have reason to suspect that you have connections with spies. Please cooperate with our investigation."
report……
It must have been Zhang Mei and Shen Jinxiu who reported her.
The situation is very tense right now. If she is taken away for investigation, she will definitely be severely punished.
She knew that investigations were very strict at this time, and those people were very cruel. Even if she was pregnant, she probably wouldn't receive any special treatment.
Shen Zhixia frowned and took a step back: "My father's affairs have nothing to do with me, and I have no money. The police know everything about this matter. If you don't believe me, you can go to the police station to ask about it."
The police all say she is innocent, so why is Director Yuan arresting her?
Director Yuan said expressionlessly, "We'll only know whether you're innocent or not after the investigation."
"Shall we take you away, or will you come with us?"
Shen Zhixia pursed her lips, her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down and said clearly, "I'll go with you."
Director Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Shen Zhixia's mind raced as she considered a solution. It seemed she wouldn't be able to leave today, even if she bought a train ticket.
Even at the fastest pace, those taken away for investigation will still be interrogated for several days.
She had thought about resisting, but she couldn't. The original owner of the body in the book did resist, and then Director Yuan had his men beat her half to death.
She didn't want to suffer like that.
That's why she chose to compromise.
However, Shen Zhixia still said righteously, "I have put aside my own family for the greater good and reported my father for smuggling. I have also donated all the property my mother left me to the research institute. I don't have a single penny on me now. If you don't believe me, you can search the Shen family."
Her face was full of justice, and she wasn't afraid of anyone investigating.
The moment he finished speaking, everyone around him was utterly shocked.
All of it... was donated.
They knew that some people would donate money and valuables, but they had never seen anyone donate their entire fortune and leave nothing for themselves.
This must be a living Buddha.
No one would think Shen Zhixia was lying, because such a lie would be easily exposed.
The fact that Shen Zhixia could make such a confident statement means that it is true and can definitely withstand scrutiny.
Director Yuan asked incredulously, "What did you say? You don't have a single penny on you? You donated all your money?"
When Zhang Mei found her, she didn't say that. She said that Shen Zhixia had a lot of money, including her mother's dowry and a lot of Shen family property, all of which were in her hands.
If he can take Shen Zhixia away and prove her guilty, then all the money on Shen Zhixia's body will be his.
As a result, Shen Zhixia is now saying that she has no money.
That's outrageous.
How could she not have money?
That woman Zhang Mei dares to play him?
"Yes, I came to Shanghai alone. My dad sold the house I lived in and donated it along with my dowry. I have nothing now. You can find out by searching online."
Director Yuan's face darkened.
Since Shen Zhixia has no money, then all his efforts have been in vain.
Now that things have come to this, there's no way he can let Shen Zhixia go; otherwise, where would his reputation stand?
He was going to torment Shen Zhixia even more.
A cold glint flashed in Director Yuan's eyes.
