Chapter 17
"Are you choosing not to say a word?" Cheng Jing stared at the person in front of her. From the moment she was arrested and brought to the interrogation room, she had remained silent, with that eerie smile on her face.
"Even if you don't talk, it doesn't change the fact that you're going to jail. The chain of evidence is very complete. I don't know what you're arguing about?"
Cheng Jing couldn't take it anymore and told the others to continue trying to pry him open, while she went to another interrogation room.
After being taken back to the police station, He Ran kept saying things like he had nothing to do with it, "Why don't you believe me? I really didn't get involved in those things, I was just helping someone find their cat!"
Those who went to the hospital to steal the cat had nothing to do with him, so no matter what, they wouldn't suspect him.
The police officer interrogating him was quite troubled. When Cheng Jing came in, he immediately complained, "This guy is so slippery. He only explains himself and never gets anything out of him. The key is that we really can't find any evidence against him right now."
If he were to escape, it would be a terrible sin.
"It's okay, go and rest for a while, I'll keep an eye on things..." Cheng Jing comforted him, knowing that these kinds of people were difficult to deal with and were trying to divert the police's attention.
Before Cheng Jing could finish speaking, the bureau chief also entered. Everyone present exchanged glances, stood up, and stepped back. "Bureau chief, what brings you here?"
"How did I get here? Don't you know how I got here? Why did you arrest the young master of the He family? I really don't know what you're thinking. Release him right now!" The bureau chief ran over from his office, and the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat.
The He family has connections with the military, so the phone was called directly to him, and he was even scolded by his superiors.
Everyone looked grim, but they couldn't disobey orders because they hadn't found any direct evidence of He Ran's crimes.
Not long after, He Ran swaggered out of the police station, shouting, "See you all again!"
He smiled as he said goodbye to the police officers, but inwardly he hated Chang Qian for not giving him the design drawings and getting him arrested.
His dad is probably going to yell at him again.
As soon as He Ran stepped out of the police station, he got into a car. "Have you found out who called the police?"
"Young Master He, we've found her. But the situation is a bit complicated. The location of the person who reported the incident is the same as that of the woman who recently went viral online." The assistant, thinking about the investigation results, felt a pang of worry for the woman.
"Huh? What a small world! I'm not a good person anymore." He Ran crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair.
“I sent her a private challenge. I want to have a match with her. The stakes are her qualification to participate in the competition and Chang Qian’s secret.”
"receive."

Hospital.
When Chang Qian was arrested.
“Ning Wensong, I like you, I love you.” Chen Che paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts, and continued, “From the first time we met until now, it may not have been a long time, but I always feel that it is the guidance of fate. My heart has unknowingly become full of you.”
"When we went hiking, the young monk mentioned my destined partner, and I knew that was you. But you always seem a bit dazed and don't understand what I mean. I..."
Shen Che remained in the same position as before, staring intently at Ning Wensong, who was sitting next to his stomach, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
Neither of them had the courage to say it when the other person was sober.
He didn't notice that Ning Wensong's body was burning hot, and that his little paws were lightly stomping on the sofa a few times.
"If you were sober, would you agree to my request?" Shen Che spoke these words so clearly that even Ning Wensong couldn't hear them.
She didn't know whether she should continue pretending, because she really wasn't ready. It wasn't that she didn't like it, but she didn't trust a relationship that had lasted less than a short time.
So light and airy, like an unstable kite string, it could break at any moment with a strong gust of wind.
Let's wait a little longer, long enough for us to develop deep feelings for each other, long enough for us to be unable to live without each other, long enough for each other's shadow to permeate every aspect of our lives.
That way she'll take the initiative to confess, which is fair.
Ning Wensong dared not open his eyes, and could only hope that something or someone could break the current atmosphere.
"Ring ring ring!" The phone rang suddenly, and Ning Wensong woke up at the right time.
"Hey, Chen Che, why aren't you answering the phone?" Her poor acting was easily seen through, but Chen Che didn't mention it.
He simply pretended he hadn't said those things, saying, "Now I'll answer."
After listening to a few words from the other end, Chen Che hung up, transformed into human form, picked up Ning Wensong, and walked upstairs. "The police station wants us to give a statement."
"Go change into a nice outfit. I'll take you out for something delicious after this is over." Shen Che probably understood what she was thinking. So he decided to take it slow, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. He didn't believe Ning Wensong wouldn't be tempted.
—
Police station.
No sooner had He Ran's car left than Chen Che's car arrived.
"You're here. Let me tell you something first. He Ran has been released on bail, so he shouldn't be involved anymore." Cheng Jing sighed as she watched the two of them enter.
Who would have thought the other party had such a powerful backer?
"Ah? It's alright. He probably wasn't involved in Chang Qian's case. Just keep an eye on Chang Qian. Actually, we have something on He Ran, so don't panic." Shen Che thought of those people in the hospital. Did they think they could get away with it?
It's not like he's the only one with powerful connections.
Ning Wensong glanced at him in surprise; he was truly a man of few words.
Shen Che handed over the surveillance footage and the blood-stained items found in the house to the police. Considering that Xiao Li would have to wait a while before she could return to human form, he said, "This is the most direct evidence. The witness is still in danger. We'll bring her here in a few days."
If you don't make it up, you can't explain it.
Looking at the contents of the bag, Cheng Jing sincerely thanked them, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have even bothered with a stray cat. Who would have thought it could lead to a criminal case? By the way, how is the cat?"
"It's all better now, you've recovered pretty much, don't worry." Ning Wensong knew she was worried, so she reassured her.
Cheng Jing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and looked at them with a smile, "Alright, you can go and give your statements now, and then you can leave. We'll be quite busy during this time."
Ning Wensong didn't know how to smooth things over, so Shen Che's abilities came into play again. While both sides were taking notes at the same time, he relayed a message to Ning Wensong, making sure it wasn't exactly the same.
The police officer taking the statements glanced at the two men but didn't find anything amiss. "You can go now, thank you for your cooperation!"
After leaving the police station, Ning Wensong skipped and hopped towards the parking lot, exclaiming, "This ability is amazing! I want to learn it too! Please teach me!"
She turned back and tugged at Chen Che's arm, acting coquettishly.
"I remember now! Can you tell me how long it will take for me to fully reach adulthood? I really want to know my abilities!" She had been keeping this in mind; she was so curious.
Shen Che grasped her hand in return, "You'll have to learn the extra abilities after you become an adult. I'll teach you then." This gave them another opportunity to spend time together.
"As for the adult form, that depends on talent. Some people may reach the complete stage in a month or two, but some never do. I don't mean anything by it, but this can't be rushed, so don't overthink it."
Ning Wensong didn't quite understand. Shen Che had a very shrewd and handsome face, but sometimes he spoke really strangely.
"I know, I won't keep thinking about it."
"Take me to eat something delicious now!" Ning Wensong was very hungry. Today she had been sneaking into proctoring exams, giving Hei Yin a haircut, and rushing to the police station. Her stomach was already empty.
"Let's go..." Shen Che thought that this meal should be fine.
HAVE 2 Japanese restaurant.
As a long list of dishes was served, including salmon, sweet shrimp, and oysters...
Ning Wensong's eyes suddenly turned into cat-like pupils, and as soon as the waiter left, she screamed, "Chen Che, I love you! I really want to eat all this! Waaaaaah, I'm so happy, so happy! I want to take a picture, can you take one for me!"
Ning Wensong realized that saying "I love you" was just an emotional outburst and didn't mean anything else. She silently thought to herself, not daring to say it aloud.
Seeing that Shen Che hadn't moved, she simply shoved her phone into his hand, "Take a picture of me, I'm wearing the clothes you bought me today!"
After regaining his senses, Chen Che looked at Ning Wensong, who was even more beautiful under the warm light in the store, and took many pictures with his phone at the right angle.
“Let’s take a picture together. It’s been so long since we took a group photo,” Chen Che suggested, looking into her eyes. “Let’s start with a photo.”
"Okay, you take the photos." Ning Wensong sensed that the atmosphere was getting increasingly awkward. She just wanted to finish the photoshoot quickly and have some food; she was so hungry.
Shen Chewei hugged her, a smile playing on his lips, and took his first selfie.
Ning Wensong sat down and started eating, while Shen Che posted the photo on his WeChat Moments with the caption "Eating."
Many people commented as soon as it was posted, but Shen Che glanced at it briefly and ignored it, then ate with Ning Wensong.
For the cat demon, raw food was the most appealing thing. Thinking of Ning Wensong's appetite, Chen Che picked up the ordering tablet and added some scallops, langoustines, and other ingredients.
Ning Wensong focused on rice, and although he didn't know the prices here, every single dish was incredibly delicious.
"It's so delicious! Can we come here often in the future?" Ning Wensong asked Shen Che in a muffled voice, her mouth full.
"Pfft, swallow it first, otherwise it might block your throat." Chen Che looked at her chubby cheeks, like a little hamster. "No problem, you can come anytime you want. Next time I'll take you to another raw food restaurant, that one has more lobsters."
"Okay—" Ning Wensong replied with just one word and then immersed himself in eating.
Shen Che didn't have much of an appetite, so he barely ate anything before looking at his phone. Unexpectedly, he actually saw something.
A private message was sent to Ning Wensong's account half an hour ago: "If you want to know Chang Qian's last trump card, then compete with me in pet styling. Use the most ordinary white cat. The bet is an entry ticket to the Cute Creation Competition. Otherwise, in a few days, Chang Qian will release it unscathed."
