Old Mrs. Shen nodded: "Indeed."
The policewoman closed her notebook and said, "Okay, then let's search both of them separately. If we can't find them, we'll do other investigations."
Ning Yimeng pursed her lips tightly and sent a text message to Luo Yubai.
"Master Luo, I have a friend who now regrets lying. If she doesn't admit it, she'll wrongly accuse an innocent person, but if she admits it, she'll lose a friend. What should she do?"
After the message was sent, Ning Yimeng stared at the screen nervously.
She felt very complicated. Luo Shao was not very familiar with her, and asking him such questions seemed to cross the distance between them.
Just when Ning Yimeng was about to withdraw the message, the words "Input" appeared above the dialog box.
She suddenly began to hope that someone could help her find a way out.
There is a new message in the dialog box, not text, but voice.
Ning Yimeng walked to the corner and put the phone close to her ear. Luo Shao's gentle voice came out from the receiver.
"If they're true friends, they won't do anything to embarrass you, unless they're taking advantage of you. Lying is actually harder than being honest, because one lie requires at least ten lies to cover it up. Even a lie will eventually be discovered. It's better to be honest and transparent than to lie."

Surrounded by the crowd, Shen Suyun looked at Qiao Ruoxi hatefully. She had never expected that the police would be involved in the end.
Since Qiao Ruoxi didn't let her have an easy life, she wouldn't let Qiao Ruoxi have an easy life either. At worst, they could go to the police station together, which was better than her going in alone.
Moreover, she has the Shen family behind her, so it is just a minor or major crime like defamation, which can be easily settled.
Ning Yimeng's mother slipped the ring into Qiao Ruoxi's bag during the chaos. Once the ring is found in Qiao Ruoxi's bag, she will be sentenced to ten years in prison and a fine. Will the Pei family still be able to accommodate Qiao Ruoxi?
No matter how you look at it, she wins this deal!
"Okay, then let's open the bag and search the body. Let's not hide it. How about checking it in front of everyone?" Shen Suyun raised her chin and spoke confidently.
When it comes to privacy, the police will usually conduct a search privately. If the person involved agrees, it can naturally be made public. So the female police officer looked at Qiao Ruoxi and asked for her opinion.
Qiao Ruoxi nodded: "Okay."
Two female police officers searched Qiao Ruoxi and Shen Suyun respectively, while the other two male police officers searched the bags they carried.
The body search yielded nothing.
At this time, a voice came from the male police officer: "The ring has been found."
Shen Suyun was ecstatic and pointed at Qiao Ruoxi: "The stolen goods have been found, Qiao Ruoxi, what else do you have to say? Wait for jail!"
Before he finished speaking, another voice came from the male police officer: "The necklace has also been found."
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows, bent down and patted Shen Suyun's face: "Yes, the stolen goods have been found, so the truth is revealed."
Before Shen Suyun could come to her senses, Qiao Ruoxi had already followed the policewoman out, and she hurriedly followed her out.
How could she miss the scene where Qiao Ruoxi was pointed at and called a thief by everyone!
However, when she returned to the banquet table, she found that everyone's eyes on her seemed a little strange.
The looks from everyone were like the stings of bees, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
She looked at the police: "Hasn't the ring been found? Why haven't you arrested the man yet?"
The policewoman walked towards her with handcuffs in her hand: "Ms. Shen, you are suspected of defamation and theft. Please come with us to the police station."
Seeing her hands handcuffed with silver handcuffs, Shen Suyun was completely dumbfounded and began to struggle excitedly.
"Are you mistaken? The ring is clearly in the compartment of Qiao Ruoxi's bag. Why are you handcuffing me?"
The policewoman raised her eyebrows: "Ms. Shen, how did you know the ring was in the compartment of Miss Qiao's bag?"
Shen Suyun was also stunned, and quickly changed her words: “I guessed, is that not okay?”
The policewoman sneered: "Then you guessed wrong. The ring and necklace were both found in your bag."
Shen Suyun's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground: "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible, did the Pei family bribe you?"
The male police officer beside him shook his head: "Oh, it's really thanks to Miss Shen that she proposed to search in public, otherwise we police would have to prove our innocence."
Shen Suyun stared at Qiao Ruoxi's bag. She racked her brains but couldn't figure out what went wrong in the process.
"Miss Shen, let's go." The policewoman spoke.
Shen Suyun sat on the ground, holding the table leg tightly, and shook her head: "I won't go, I'm not guilty, I didn't steal the things, it wasn't me!"
The policewoman was a little impatient: "Let's talk about the rest at the police station."
"Mom and Dad, please believe me. I was wronged. Big brother, second brother, third brother, please save me!" Shen Suyun cried with red eyes, looking at Shen Qin and his wife and the third son of the Shen family.
Chen Qin's eyes also turned red, and she kept repeating: "How could this happen..."
Sun Zhengze clenched his fists and said, "Qiao Ruoxi must have deliberately framed Yun'er. Yun'er is innocent."
The three sons of the Shen family looked at each other, feeling worried but also confused.
"Grandma, don't you love me the most? I don't want to go to the police station. I swear, I really didn't steal anything. I don't know why the ring and necklace were in my bag. It must have been Qiao Ruoxi. It was Qiao Ruoxi who put them in my bag!"
Seeing that her parents and brothers could not help her, Shen Suyun had to ask Mrs. Shen for help.
Old Mrs. Shen kept a sullen face and said nothing.
Shen Suyun placed her last hope on Lin Jing and Pei Junyan, but when she looked around, she didn't even see their figures.
Shen Suyun was completely desperate.
Just as the police were about to take Shen Suyun away, Mrs. Shen slowly stood up: “Comrade police, can you wait a moment?”
Shen Suyun's gray eyes suddenly lit up again.
Sure enough, the old lady would not ignore her. After all, she was engaged to the Pei family. Even for the sake of the relationship between the two families, the old lady would not abandon her!
Just like Sun Zheng said, the old woman has a wide network of contacts. I heard that some of her relatives are police officers. Saving her is easy!
Under her expectant gaze, Old Lady Shen stood on the banquet stage and slowly picked up the microphone.
"Today was supposed to be my birthday, and I invited all the guests here, but I made a fool of myself. Shen Suyun is a child raised by my Shen family. Her behavior was inappropriate, and our Shen family has an unshirkable responsibility. I solemnly apologize to everyone for the inconvenience caused to everyone today."
Old Mrs. Shen spoke in a sincere manner, and after she finished speaking, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
Shen Suyun was even more stunned.
Didn’t the old woman come to help her? Why did she insist that her behavior was inappropriate?
Is the old woman crazy?
Mrs. Shen took the microphone and continued, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at today. I have another announcement to make."
