It was already past eight o'clock, almost three hours since the banquet started. Everyone had said their goodbyes and left.
Just then, the Fu family's old butler rushed in, and a few people were still vaguely waiting outside the banquet hall.
Some sharp-eyed people noticed that those people were wearing police uniforms.
They exchanged a glance and tacitly stopped in their tracks as they were about to leave.
The old butler rushed to Old Master Fu's side, leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear. Old Master Fu's ever-smiling face instantly darkened, and he threw the lid of his teacup onto the teacup, saying, "Let them go. I want to see who has the audacity to send stolen goods to my Fu family!"
The old butler immediately ran back.
Qin Sheng and Fu Jingheng were close by, and because they had good hearing, they could still hear them even though they were speaking in hushed tones.
Qin Sheng's gaze shifted slightly as she glanced sideways in a certain direction.
However, he only glanced at it before looking away and continuing to look at his phone.
The alliance just went offline, and right now WeChat is flooded with messages from Wan Feng, Tan Lang, and Po Tian.
The questions were all the same.
[You actually have time to solo with people in the League, but no time to play with us?]
[You dragged us into this mess and then just walked away. Are you even human?]
[Look back at your Weibo account, Jones. How long has it been since you logged in? How long has it been since you posted any updates or gameplay tutorials? Do you think you're doing right by your two million+ followers?]
Qin Sheng's hands were almost numb from the constant stream of messages, and she replied to each one expressionlessly.
The exact same sentence: [If you argue again, I'll block you.]
The world fell silent instantly.
After a long pause, Wan Feng cautiously posted: "What about the Spring Split in March..."
Qin Sheng: [No time, the college entrance exam is coming up soon]
Wan Feng: "..."
He sighed and continued probing: "What about the Autumn Tournament in September...?"
Qin Sheng: [School has started]
Wan Feng continued: "..."
There's no other way, so I'll send another message: "I've arranged a commercial tournament for Tanlang and his team in June, right after the college entrance exams. Do you have time to participate?"
Ten seconds later: [The other party offered a pretty high price; if you win, there's a 20 million prize. They also said that if you're willing to participate, they can give you an extra 10 million personally.]
[Can be completed in one day]
Qin Sheng paused, slowly deleting the phrase she had just typed, "Going on a graduation trip with family," and edited it again to: "Okay then."
Wan Feng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded to Tan Lang and the others who were staring at him expectantly: "She agreed!"
Greedy Wolf slammed his fist heavily on the table: "Damn it, they finally agreed!!"
Potian excitedly kicked the chair next to him.
Wan Feng pushed up the frame of his glasses and said with a smile, "Alright, there are still more than five months left. You two should take the other two team members and intensify your training. Don't hold her back, or I won't be able to protect you."
Tanlang and Potian felt a chill run down their spines and immediately suppressed their excitement to turn on their phones.
Qin Sheng, on the other side, had already put her phone back in her pocket... Oh, the dress she was wearing today didn't have pockets.
He hesitated for two seconds between holding the phone in his hand and putting it aside, then paused and handed it to Fu Jingheng beside him: "Put it away for me."
Fu Jingheng took it casually, raising an eyebrow slightly as he asked, "Who were you chatting with for so long?"
Qin Sheng answered him calmly, "Money."
Fu Jingheng: "..."
He chuckled to himself.
Fine, consider his question unnecessary.
As they were talking, Butler Fu returned to the banquet hall, and the four policemen who had been waiting outside came in together.
A woman was following behind.
Butler Fu's face was much uglier than when he came in last time. When he met Old Master Fu's questioning gaze, his expression changed repeatedly, and finally he glanced subtly in the direction of Qin Sheng and his group.
Old Master Fu felt a chill run down his spine and immediately realized that something was wrong.
However, he didn't speak immediately. He just watched as the four policemen stood in front of Qin Zheng and Qin Sheng and their group, while observing the expressions of everyone in the banquet hall.
The police officer stopped, then held a long, rectangular gift box to his chest and said sternly, "Is this your stuff?"
Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak when Qin Sheng answered first: "That's how it was originally."
The policeman frowned: "What do you mean by 'originally'?"
Qin Sheng gestured with her chin toward Old Master Fu: "It has already been given to the Fu family."
The police understood.
He handed the long box to another policeman behind him, flashed his ID in front of Qin Sheng, and said clearly, "Ms. Qin, we suspect you of being involved in a large-scale theft case. We need you to come with us to the police station to assist in the investigation. We hope you can cooperate with our work."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the remaining two policemen immediately approached Qin Sheng from the left and right to take him down.
But he stopped in his tracks, stunned by the girl's indifferent glance.
Qin Sheng's expression turned cold: "Is this how police officers handle cases these days?"
The lead officer frowned and said in a low voice, "Ms. Qin, please watch your words."
Qin Sheng asked calmly, "Is there a problem?"
The lead officer's face was grim and angry.
But before he could say anything more, Chi Yuanyuan, who followed them in, couldn't hold back any longer.
He immediately stepped past the four police officers and stood in front of Qin Sheng.
A pretty face was filled with disbelief: "Qin Sheng, I never imagined you were this kind of person!"
Qin Sheng pulled Chi Sangsang, who was almost out of control, up to look at her and said, "Tell me, what kind of person am I?"
Chi Yuanyuan nodded vigorously: "Okay! Okay!"
"Since you, Qin Sheng, have already abandoned all shame, then don't blame me for disregarding our past acquaintance!" Chi Sangsang bit her lip and turned to face the people in the banquet hall who were stunned into silence by this sudden bombshell.
She put on an extremely aggrieved expression and recounted the whole story.
"Some of you here should know that my grandfather suddenly fell seriously ill half a month ago and almost died."
“At the critical moment, my father’s old friend, the renowned medical expert Hua Zhenhua, recommended a doctor to us.” She turned and pointed at Qin Sheng, “It’s her, Qin Sheng.”
"We immediately used Hua Shengshou's connections to contact Qin Sheng, and she agreed to come and treat us."
"Qin Sheng's medical skills are indeed quite good. With her help, my grandfather's condition has finally stabilized. Therefore, even though she charges our family 40 million yuan for each consultation, as long as she can save him, we have no complaints about spending any amount of money."
At this point, Chi Yuanyuan paused, looked up at the guests in front of her, and sure enough, saw their stunned expressions.
She exchanged a glance with Xie Zhen, who was not far away, and gave a barely perceptible smile.
