Chapter 91: Foresight

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A police officer stepped forward and conducted a thorough search of Chu Xi in front of the crowd. Indeed, nothing incriminating was found on her.

Chu Xi proudly straightened her back, and her parents-in-law also wore satisfied expressions. Without concrete evidence, they were confident in their position.

The bespectacled man sneered, “Looks like you’re pushing an innocent person to take the blame.”

The curly-haired middle-aged woman swept a cold glance at Gu Zi. With that small waist and long legs, it was obvious that she was not a good woman.

“You men only judge by appearances,” she retorted. ‘You can’t just choose a wife based on looks. You’re being too judgmental. You’ll regret it when your family falls apart.”

Gu Zi didn’t hold back in responding, “So, being good-looking means you’re vicious? The great new government has been established for so many years, but your head is still wrapped in a foot-binding cloth!”

The middle-aged woman was so angry that she could not speak.

Gu Zi then turned to the bespectacled man and inquired, “So we didn’t find anything on her. Are you really confident that we won’t find it in her family home?”

The bespectacled man snorted, “This lady doesn’t seem like someone who would steal the watch. I’ll crawl out of here if she did.”

Gu Zi couldn’t help but find it amusing when he made such bold claims. Some people cared so much about their reputation that they would stubbornly stick to their position, even if they were proven wrong.

She then looked at Su Shen, who stood tall and peered past the crowd.

Walking forward, he spoke aloud, “Brother, you don’t need to crawl out of here like a dog for someone like that. Come here.”

His words were resolute and clear, leaving everyone to wonder whom he was addressing.

As all eyes followed his gaze, two police officers entered from the door, carrying an item in their hands.

They walked past the spectators, directly to Chu Xi.

In front of the entire assembly, they unveiled a fine watch. Chu Xi’s expression shifted to one of panic.

Gu Zi confirmed that it was her watch and asked, “How did you bring it over so quickly?”

Su Shen explained, “I suspected Chu Xi might not have kept the watch on her, so I contacted the police station while I was at the pig farm.”

Gu Zi suddenly remembered that she had seen a red landline phone in his office before.

So it seemed the police car had already set off for Chu Xi’s house earlier. They calculated the time and came back at the right time.

She couldn’t help but give Su Shen a thumbs up. He had great foresight.

Su Shen looked puzzled, and Gu Zi corrected herself, saying, “I mean, you’re great.”

She then turned her attention to Chu Xi and didn’t notice Su Shen’s gaze, filled with admiration, as he looked at her.

The police officer inquired, “Auntie, is your daughter’s name Chu Tian?”

Chu Xi’s lips quivered slightly as she replied, “Yes, officer. What’s the matter?” The police officer continued, ‘We searched your house earlier and found this watch under your bed. Chu Tian claimed that it was your room.”

Chu Xi’s reaction was immediate; she trembled and nearly lost her balance.

Her parents-in-law rushed forward to quietly remind her, “That watch belongs to you. Don’t panic!”

Who could testify that the watch belonged to Gu Zi?

Chu Xi quickly said, “Yes, this watch is mine. It’s my watch. I can put my watch wherever I want! ”

Her body was trembling and she was incoherent. Anyone could tell that she

was guilty.

But Gu Zi spoke up, saying, “Aunt Chu, have some integrity. Just because you stole it doesn’t make the watch yours. This is my new watch.”

Chu Xi’s parents-in-law refused to acknowledge it, insisting, “You can’t just claim it’s yours because you said so.”

The bespectacled man and the middle-aged woman, turning red-faced, were eager to slip away unnoticed.

However, after hearing their comments, they couldn’t bring themselves to leave. The middle-aged woman echoed, “Exactly. She can’t just assert ownership of the watch.”

Gu Zi didn’t waste time with them; luckily, she had the foresight to bring the proof of purchase with her.

She handed a purchase receipt from the trading company to the police officer. “This is the receipt from when I bought the watch. If it’s still not enough to prove that this watch is mine, you can invite the trading company’s boss here to confirm it.”

The police officers examined the receipt and raised it for everyone to see.

The purchase time, amount, and trading company address were all clearly stated. The bespectacled man and the middle-aged woman were silenced and left the scene in defeat.

The other two police officers approached Chu Xi, and one said, “Auntie, the evidence is conclusive. You’ll need to stay and cooperate with the investigation. ”

Chu Xi didn’t want to stay in this godforsaken place anymore. She was so scared that her legs went limp..
