Chapter 2729: Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (247)
“No! I didn’t take it. I don’t know why the ring is in my bag. I don’t know. Someone must be trying to frame me. Police officers, you can check the surveillance cameras.”
Qiao Ruoxi placed her hopes on the surveillance cameras, but the police officer said, “We will contact Di Ruiling Jewelry and get the evidence. Before that, please come back with us.”
The police would definitely take her away. After all, the 8.89-carat pink diamond ring was worth hundreds of millions. The amount of money involved was too huge.
The cold handcuffs were placed on Qiao Ruoxi’s slender wrists. She was still in shock.
!!
She was wronged!
She was wronged again.
Bao Juhua saw that she was caught and did not speak up for her. Instead, she took the opportunity to hit her when she was down. “Qiao Ruoxi, you have a bad character. You are not fit to work at Di Ruiling Jewelry. From today onwards, you are fired.”
After Qiao Ruoxi was taken away, the other employees were secretly overjoyed. This was great. Without Qiao Ruoxi, each of their sales would increase by a lot.
When she was brought into the police car by the police, she suddenly realized something and turned to look at Bao Juhua, who was smiling smugly.
She knew it was her, Bao Juhua.
It was her intention to frame her. She wanted to drive her out of the flagship store.
But it was too late. The car door was already closed.
Just like that, Qiao Ruoxi lost her job and was accused of theft. She was brought back to the police station for further questioning.
No matter how the police asked, she refused to admit that she had stolen the ring.
If she had not done it, she would not have taken the blame for nothing.
She voiced her suspicions, suspecting that the manager had deliberately framed her. However, the police asked her to produce evidence.
But she could not produce any evidence. If she could, she would not have been locked up in the detention room.
After more than an hour, the police came to the detention room and informed them that someone was looking for her.
She wondered who was looking for her. Could it be Feng Yunan?
If something had happened to her in Di Ruiling, how could he not do anything?
When she arrived at the visitation room, Qiao Ruoxi saw Qin Xuming waiting inside.
He looked completely different now. He was wearing an expensive suit and his hair was combed neatly.
It was really hard to associate it with the impression of a former political elite.
Qiao Ruoxi did not find it strange that he was here.
In the morning, his car was parked near the Di Ruiling Jewelry store. He saw her being taken away by the police and chased after her here. He wanted to use different methods to mock her and attack her.
She wanted to turn around and run, but he stopped her. “Xiao Xi, are you that afraid of me?”w
She couldn’t let him see that she was afraid of him.
So she could only pretend to be calm and turned around to face him. “Why is President Qin here?”
“My ex-boyfriend is locked up. I have to come and take a look!”
“Sit down and talk,” Qin Xuming said mockingly and pointed at the seat opposite him.
“We have nothing to talk about. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
He stood up and said, “Qiao Ruoxi, Article 264 of the Criminal Law states that anyone who steals public property that is worth a massive sum of money or has a particularly serious condition will be sentenced to ten years in prison or life imprisonment.
“Your crime is that you’ve stolen a diamond ring worth more than 100 million. The amount of money is especially huge, enough for you to go to jail for more than ten years.”
“If you’re willing to come and beg me now, I might consider defending you and getting you out.”
Qin Xuming stood still with his hands in his pockets, looking calm and composed.
He did not even ask if she had stolen it. Instead, he directly concluded that she had stolen it.
He was waiting for her reaction. He wanted to see her turn around and beg him. Everything he did was for her. He was waiting for her to turn back.
Qiao Ruoxi was stunned and did not turn back.
She knew that her case was just a small case to Qin Xuming. As long as he put his skills as a lawyer to use, he would definitely be able to help her get out of the crime.
But she could not beg him.
She didn’t want to owe him anything anymore. She didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.
“That’s not necessary. I didn’t steal anything. When the police find out the truth, they will return my freedom.”
Qiao Ruoxi rejected him coldly and stepped out of the visitation room.
Qin Xuming said angrily, “Qiao Ruoxi, even if you’re innocent, I have the ability to make you unable to clear your name.”
Qiao Ruoxi stopped in her tracks and continued walking.
She felt that the man behind her had abandoned his basic kindness and morals in order to achieve his goal.
Qin Xuming was becoming more and more terrifying.
At this moment, Qiao Ruoxi felt relieved.
She was glad that she did not choose Qin Xuming in the end. She was glad that she could discover his true identity in advance.
She had no idea what would happen in the future if nothing had happened between them and they eventually got married.
Would there be a day when her body was dumped in the wilderness?
Perhaps marrying Feng Yunan would not be the worst outcome.
At least that man made her feel touched on multiple occasions.
…
Last night, after Feng Yunan got drunk, he stayed at the Silver Residence.
The next morning, he asked Xiu Yi to bring him clean clothes.
After taking a shower, he changed into a clean white shirt and put on a handmade suit jacket. The man in front of the mirror was handsome and imposing, exuding a kingly aura.
Xiu Yi stole a glance at Feng Yunan’s sullen face. There was no expression or warmth on his face.
He thought about what had happened at the Ocean Pavilion last night. Feng Yunan and Qiao Ruoxi had quarreled and their relationship had become so strained. He wanted to help them ease their relationship.
He had to let Feng Yunan know how much his wife was worried about him. She was very worried when he drove away last night.
If she told the president about this, his mood might turn for the better and their relationship would be better.
With the intention to try, Xiu Yi said, “Mr. Feng, after you left last night, Young Madam…”
“Shut up! Don’t mention that woman in front of me again!”
Feng Yunan’s cold face instantly turned angry, and his thick eyebrows furrowed.
He drank a huge bottle of wine last night and stayed at Yin Zun for the night so that he could stop thinking about that woman.
But now, whenever he mentioned Qiao Ruoxi, his head started to hurt.
“…”
Feng Yunan was furious. If he were to violate Feng Yunan’s orders again, not only would he die a horrible death, but he would also implicate Qiao Ruoxi.
Xiu Yi could only shut his mouth obediently, not daring to say another word.
She sighed in her heart. ‘Ah, CEO, you’re the one who doesn’t want to hear it. Don’t regret missing out on important news.’
Feng Yunan tidied himself up and left Yin Zun. Xiu Yi followed him to the building of Fengtian Group.
After Xiu Yi received a call along the way, he was so shocked that he couldn’t close his mouth.
After hanging up the call, he quickly turned around and reported, “President, Young Madam…”
“Xiu Yi!”
Feng Yunan glared at her and said coldly, “Don’t mention her again, do you hear me? Whether she’s dead or alive has nothing to do with me. If you dare to mention her again, I’ll throw you out of the car!”
