Bi Xueqing reported to the police that her hairpin had been lost.
The hairpin is made of icy jadeite and has been appraised at 270,000 yuan.
The items were found in Wen Shu's house, packed in a bag along with a dress, and placed on the shoe cabinet by the living room entrance.
Grandma was quite frightened. She took Wen Rou Rou into the room and covered the little guy's ears.
Before leaving, Wen Shu stood outside the door and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Grandma asked, "Is it Su Ying?"
Wen Shu: "No matter who it is, don't be afraid or worried. You can sleep with Rou Rou. I didn't steal anything, so I'm not afraid. You can trust me."
Grandma's eyes were filled with tears, "Shushu, don't forget about Rourou..."
“I haven’t forgotten, so I will never let such a thing happen to me.”
Wen Shu was taken away for investigation as a suspect. The neighbors all saw it and gossiped about it, saying that Wen Shu had been caught stealing.
Wen Shu sat in the police car, and the policeman next to her asked, "You have elderly parents and young children to support, why did you think of stealing? With your looks, you could easily find a job, which would be better than stealing."
Wen Shu didn't speak, she just turned her head away.
The other party felt that she was not cooperating with the investigation.
At the Zhong family home, Zhong Wanwan held the phone, her smile widening. "Auntie, you really know how to handle things! That kind of reckless, arrogant woman deserves to be taught a lesson. You did the right thing; it's even better if she goes to jail! As long as your testimonies match, what's there to be afraid of her ravings?"
"My uncle is away on a business trip these past few days, so he's not here. I don't believe I can't make her suffer!"
Zhong Wanwan was in a good mood. Wen Shu had slept with an old lecher in a private room for 50,000 yuan, and was caught in the act in public. She ran away in a sorry state, and even dared to steal her aunt's hairpin.
Moreover, the surveillance video provided by the Golden Summit Club clearly shows that she stole the hairpin while wearing it on her head.
Bi Xueqing spoke to Zhong Wanwan with a smile, but in reality, she was furious.
Everyone said that it was Wen Shu who accompanied President Wan, but in reality it was her. Bi Xueqing had no choice but to endure it for the sake of her family and clan.
Li Duo had warned her that if this matter got out, the Zhong family would be implicated.
The fact that Madam Zhong did such a thing will not only lead to Bi Xueqing's divorce, but will also directly harm two large families.
The Li family was indirectly implicated.
Bi Xueqing has no choice but to accept this loss.
The complainant, Bi Xueqing, along with Mr. Wan, who had dinner with her that day, his secretary, and some staff members from the Golden Summit Club, all testified that Wen Shu and Mr. Wan were having an affair in the private room.
Several curious onlookers witnessed the scene, and each gave a vivid account, with their testimonies being consistent.
All the evidence points to Wen Shu.
What is your relationship with the Kingdom of Ten Thousand People?
“It doesn’t matter. He’s an important client of the company, and that was the first time I met him.”
"Why is business being discussed in a private club instead of a business venue?"
"The business venue was arranged by Chairman Bi. Chairman Bi said the other party is a high-end client, and we need to cater to their preferences. May I go to the restroom?"
The police ignored her words and continued to ask, "Why would an important client bring someone who's still an intern? Don't you find that strange?"
"Chairman Bi said he would help me boost my sales performance to make my family more financially secure."
When was the first time you saw the hairpin in Bi Xueqing's hair?
“I haven’t paid attention. For me, the most important thing is to earn money to support my parents and children; everything else is a luxury.”
"Have you considered exchanging those things for money?"
"I only believe in legitimate ways of making money."
"Our investigation revealed that you were abruptly dismissed from your first job because you falsified your resume..."
Wen Shu's face paled instantly. She pursed her lips and said, "Yes."
"Did you find it difficult to make money through legitimate means, so you took the risk?"
"A man named Li Duo put the hairpin on me. I need to go to the restroom!"
The police ignored her and looked at her with a pained expression. "You're so young, and you still don't know how to repent? We've already investigated, and Li Duo never even went to your private room."
Wen Shu: "If you could access the video footage, you would see that he went there."
"The existing surveillance footage can only prove that he entered and exited that club, but it cannot prove that he entered that private room."
The police officer shouted sternly, "Still trying to deny it? Don't you know the principle of leniency for confessing and severity for resisting?"
"You can't falsely accuse me of something I didn't do. Whether that person showed up or not, you can just call and ask, right?"
"The other party went abroad on a business trip yesterday and cannot be contacted temporarily."
Wen Shu closed her eyes; it was all pre-planned.
Zhong Wanwan really went to great lengths to ruin her.
“Wen Shu, you need to know that once you get here, even if you don’t confess, you can still be convicted.”
"Based on unanimous testimony?" Wen Shu retorted. "Shouldn't the police make judgments based on evidence? Are you going to convict me based on just those people's testimonies?"
"The last time I came here, I was falsely accused of being a mistress. They stripped me, beat me, and filmed the beating. Everyone said I was a mistress, and no matter how I explained, no one believed me. Will I be convicted like this again?"
The interrogating police officers exchanged a glance and coughed lightly. "No one is convicting you right now. We're just reminding you that if the evidence is conclusive, you can be convicted even without a confession. If you confess, the court will consider the fact that you surrendered yourself and give you a lighter sentence."
“I didn’t steal anything, that’s what I want to confess,” Wen Shu said. “I hope you can really find out the truth, instead of forcing me to admit that I didn’t do it.”
"With so many witnesses, you specifically mentioned someone who can't be present at the moment!"
"Of all those witnesses, the one who could prove my innocence went abroad."
Wen Shu barely slept for a day and a night.
She forced herself to stay awake, without drinking a drop of water.
Even if it were for the sake of meat, she would never admit to stealing.
She couldn't let Rou Rou have a mother who would admit she was a thief.
"She just won't budge or admit it."
"The bones are quite hard."
The next morning, the door was pushed open. "Wen Shu, come out."
Wen Shu staggered to her feet, while Su Ying stood outside.
She said coldly, "If your grandmother hadn't forced me, I would never have come to protect you!"
"What a disgrace! Why did you have to steal? You can't do anything else? You can even mess up a job that pays 50,000 a month?"
Wen Shu didn't want to say a single word to her.
As Wen Shu stepped out of the community police station, she looked up at the sunlight.
She longed for the light, but some people forced her to stare into the filthy corners.
Wen Shu went to pick up Wen Rou Rou.
The little one looked up and asked, "Shushu."
Wen Shu squatted down in front of him, "How was Rou Rou's day?"
Wen Rou Rou looked at her face and nodded: "Okay."
A child behind them shouted in Wen Rou Rou's direction, "Wen Xing Zhou's mother is a thief!"
Wen Rou Rou reached out her little hand and covered her ears, "Shu Shu, let's go home."
Wen Shu's tears immediately flowed. "Okay!"
