Chapter 167 Calling the Police
"Uncle Wu, you are too modest. I have read so many books on the analysis of "Dream of Red Mansions", and yours is definitely the best among them." Xu Youyou said.
Professor Wu had originally lost all hope, but now the new project brought by Xu Youyou made him feel as if he had found a new pillar.
Xu Youyou felt relieved when she saw that he agreed. She was not very good at comforting elderly people who had lost their only child.
Before leaving, Professor Wu thanked Xu Youyou once again. He couldn't help but said, "Ms. Xu has a cheerful personality. If Nannan were alive, you two would definitely become good friends..."
Xu Youyou felt uncomfortable hearing this. From what Professor Wu and the police said, Ms. Wu Mingzhu was beautiful, free and easy-going, good at her job, and loved sports. She was an extremely good girl.
It's a pity that I met the wrong person.
Xu Youyou gave Professor Wu a complete copy of A Dream of Red Mansions. After just two glances, Professor Wu couldn't help but stare: "This... this is the complete copy? How did you get it?"
Xu Youyou smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. We're keeping it a secret for now. Uncle Wu, please don't spread it."
Professor Wu naturally agreed without hesitation.
Soon after the murder case was concluded, with the police report, almost everyone in the circle knew that the Gu family had paid a high premium to buy a haunted house from the murderer, and the Gu family immediately became the laughing stock of the circle.
Gu Xueying didn't go out for several days in a row. The Star Diamond Prince, who used to be very close to her, ignored her for the past two days.
Instead, her white-haired cousin and Lu Shaoyan came to Gu's house to comfort her.
"Xueying, everyone has made mistakes. It was just a momentary trance. Don't take it to heart." Lu Shaoyan tried to comfort her.
Gu Xueying forced a smile on her face and said, "Brother Lu, thank you for comforting me. I just feel bad for my mother. She doesn't like to go out these days, and I don't see her smiling much."
Lu Shaoyan said: "What's wrong with aunt? For a family like ours, this little money is nothing."
Gu Xueying had no way of responding to this. The Gu family had been unlucky several times in a row. If it weren't for the sufficient cash flow, the business would have been in trouble. But no matter how much cash flow there was, it would be unbearable to keep wasting it like this.
She had originally excluded Lu Shaoyan from the list of backup options, but during this period, the Gu family and Lu Shaoyan's family had been cooperating, and she received her father's instructions, so even though she was impatient in her heart, she pretended to be gentle and eloquent on her face.
"Sister Xue, don't be unhappy. Before my third cousin went abroad, he repeatedly told me to take good care of you. If he knew that you were framed, he would definitely punish the bad guy!" said the cousin with dyed white hair, waving his fist.
When Gu Xueying heard Gu Yuji's name, there was a moment of trance on her face. Gu Yuji said nice things, but every time when she needed him, he was always abroad.
Although she knew that he went abroad because his teacher was going to hold an art exhibition and it was also related to the matter of the Gu family's new backer, she still couldn't help but complain in her heart.
However, Lu Shaoyan, who was standing by, immediately became concerned when he heard this and asked, "Who framed Xueying? Is there anything else I don't know?"
The white-haired little brother said, "It's that Xu Youyou! She's so annoying. I heard with my own ears that the murderer said he would give her a thank-you fee for helping to raise the price! If she hadn't interfered, how could Aunt and Sister Xue have paid such a high premium to buy the villa!"
Lu Shaoyan was visibly angry. "When we first met, I felt that this Xu was not a good person. I didn't expect that she would bully Xueying behind my back! I will never let her go!"
Gu Xueying's eyes were slightly red, and she said, "My sister suffered a lot when she was living outside, so she hates us. There is nothing we can do about it. I don't blame her."
Lu Shaoyan's understanding of the Gu family's mess came from the last Lu family dinner, and his understanding still remained on the fact that Gu Xueying and Xu Youyou were fraternal twins.
"Your Gu family doesn't want to see a child getting lost. She holds a grudge against you because of this. The price of the house has been raised by nearly 100 million yuan. It's really too much! You have no sense of the overall situation at all!" Lu Shaoyan stood up for Gu Xueying.
The white-haired cousin kept echoing: "I don't recognize this kind of person as my cousin. I really don't know what my aunt and uncle are thinking. They actually rushed to recognize her as my relative!"
Seeing that her cousin had gone off topic, Gu Xueying immediately asked, "You said you saw it with your own eyes. Did you see the murderer give money to your sister?"
My cousin said, "The murderer asked her for her bank account number. I wanted to listen more, but her bodyguards found out and chased me away. I didn't continue listening."
Gu Xueying's eyes suddenly turned red: "For such a small amount of money, does she know how sad her parents are? If she needs money, she can just tell her family. How can she do such a thing?"
When she said this, it seemed as if she was certain that Xu Youyou had taken the murderer's money.
Lu Shaoyan on the side suddenly said: "She is working with the murderer to set up a trap! We can call the police and sue her for fraud!"
Gu Xueying immediately said, "Sister was also confused for a moment. How could she go to the police station? If a girl like her was detained, it would be so embarrassing if it got out."
When Lu Shaoyan thought of Xu Youyou, who had robbed him of several hundred million, being locked up in prison, he felt relieved for some reason. However, he pretended to be standing up for Gu Xueying and said, "Xueying, you are too kind. You don't even know how to resist when you are bullied."
Gu Xueying said: "After all, she is my biological sister and my parents' biological daughter. We are a family."
The white-haired cousin snorted coldly: "When she did these things, she didn't treat you as her family at all. She has a lot of bad intentions, so she should be put in the police station for a long time! Remember this!"
Gu Xueying showed a conflicted look on her face.
Lu Shaoyan immediately persuaded her, "She stole needles when she was young, and stole gold when she grew up. Now she is an adult, and she refuses to listen to Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu. If we continue to indulge her, who knows what kind of ridiculous things she will do? We are calling the police now for her own good."
Gu Xueying seemed to be moved by his words and slowly lowered her head: "I... of course I hope my sister is well..."
When Xu Youyou received the call from the police, she was at the Housing Authority handling the transfer of ownership of her villa.
"Okay, I got it. I'll be there now." After Xu Youyou hung up the phone, she saw that the household registration procedures had been completed, so she directly asked Xu Fang to drive to the police station.
"Ms. Xu, don't worry, we are just asking a routine question. As long as you can prove that you have no financial dealings with Huang Jiaming, this matter will not be held against you."
The person in charge of this fraud case is an acquaintance of Xu Youyou and happens to be the police officer investigating the homicide case.
Xu Youyou nodded gently: "Don't worry, I have some entanglements with the Gu family, I think it's normal for them to do this."
Xu Youyou knew clearly who to settle accounts with.
