“Police station.
Gu Li never expected to have such a relationship with the police station lately, being brought in almost every other day.
Accompanying her were Mrs. Qian, Wan Yao, the store manager, and all the witnesses from the store.
Everyone unanimously testified that the ring Mrs. Qian lost was found in Gu Li’s bag.
Gu Li is the thief, the evidence is conclusive.
“Officer, this is a misunderstanding. I think we should settle this privately?”
Wan Yao and Mrs. Qian glanced at each other, somewhat guiltily, speaking to the police officer in charge of the case.
Her real intention was to have Gu Li convince Mo Shiting to release Song Zekai, not to really have Gu Li imprisoned.
After all, with Mo Shiting’s ability, Gu Li will definitely be cleared in the end. If not, she would offend a person of great influence herself.
If the old lady found out that she framed Gu Li in collaboration with Mrs. Qian, causing shame to the family, severe punishment would be inevitable.
Alas, she didn’t know which bastard had actually dared to call the police!!!
The police officer spoke earnestly, “This diamond ring is estimated to be worth more than a million, which constitutes a crime due to its large amount. We must act impartially.”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Li, “Miss, both person and stolen goods are in custody, do you have anything to say?”
Gu Li nodded, “Yes, officer, I am being falsely accused.”
“Ha, the evidence is right in front of you, and you still have the nerve to say that you are falsely accused?”
“Yeah, do you really think everyone here is a fool?”
“Officer, criminals like her who refuse to repent must be severely punished!”
Outraged, the ones uninformed of the inside story expressed their anger.
They had gone out for a leisurely shopping spree, only to be taken to the police station, such a downer!
The store manager was extremely disgusted with Gu Li. After all, a theft occurred in the store, and now he didn’t know if anyone would dare to shop there anymore.
In the face of all the accusations, Gu Li calmly retorted: “If you all think I’m a thief, can anyone tell me who actually saw me steal anything?”
“This…”
With one sentence, she stunned everyone.
Mrs. Qian’s eyes flickered, and she subconsciously gripped her hand tighter.
At this point, she had no way out. She must insist that Gu Li had stolen her ring.
So, she justified herself, “Stop quibbling, the fact that the ring was found in your bag proves that you are the thief.”
“Heh!”
Gu Li smiled lightly, “Or it could have been someone who purposely planted it in my bag to frame me.”
“Nonsense!”
Mrs. Qian immediately retorted, “We are unfamiliar and have no grievances against each other. Why would I frame you?”
“Yeah, Gu Li, Mrs. Qian only met you for the first time today. She has no reason to hurt you.”
Wan Yao eagerly chimed in.
Gu Li looked at her, squinting her eyes slightly, letting out a cold light, “Aunt, that’s a question for you then.”
Ask her?
Wan Yao’s heart skipped a beat.
Could this girl know that she was the one who put the ring in her bag?
No, that’s not possible!
Immediately, Wan Yao denied this thought, disappointedly said, “Gu Li, your aunt has been trying hard to protect you, but you are ungrateful and even trying to drag me down with you. I am really disappointed in you!”
“That’s right, why are you still pleading for such an ungrateful person like her? Are you a fool?”
Mrs. Qian took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
Seeing this, everyone despised Gu Li even more.
The police officer also thought that Gu Li’s attitude was improper and became a bit impatient, “Alright, lassie, if you have no substantial evidence, be prepared to be detained.”
“Who says I don’t?”
