Chapter 22

She inwardly exclaimed that this was bad. Sheng Yujie was her only bargaining chip for marrying into the Sheng family.

She couldn’t let this incident ruin her image in his eyes.

Right now, all she could do was insist that she was unaware of the situation and accuse Luo Wan of maliciously sneaking the ring into her bag.

“She deliberately approached me and then secretly put the ring in my bag.” She pointed at Luo Wan and said to the police, “Officer, she’s my sister. We usually live together. She quietly put the ring in my bag now, planning to take it out when we get home while I’m not paying attention. That way, she can transfer the ring without any risk.”

Everyone knew about the Miss of the Luo family, and they also knew that the Luo family recently brought back their second daughter from the countryside.

One was a proud daughter of heaven, and the other was a country girl.

Certainly, the one from the countryside would have more motive to commit the crime.

In the end, all parties involved were taken to the police station.

Meanwhile, at the International Airport in the United States.

Sheng Qing had just gotten off the plane, with Xu Zheng following closely behind.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

“Mr. Sheng, it seems like Madam has run into trouble?”

Xu Zheng brought up the video that had just been received on his phone.

The footage showed Luo Wan being taken away by the police from the jewelry store.

After watching the video, the man’s aura instantly cooled down, freezing everything within a hundred miles.

“Anyone who dares to touch my people doesn’t want to live.”

Shortly after, in City A, the police chief, who was leisurely enjoying his time in Gentle Township, received a phone call.

After hearing the details, he immediately left.

He hurriedly made his way to the police station.

This Mr. Sheng had been abroad for a long time. How come his wife suddenly appeared here?

What kind of woman could capture this Mr. Sheng’s attention?

In the police station, Luo Rou was still trying to discredit Luo Wan, attempting to twist the truth with her silver tongue.

Because she was Sheng Yujie’s fiancée, everyone treated her with respect.

It wasn’t until the door of the police station was opened, and Police Chief Jiang Meng walked in that everyone stood up to salute.

The Sheng family had a relationship with Jiang Meng, so Sheng Yujie also stood up politely and greeted, “Uncle Jiang.”

Luo Rou also obediently greeted, “Hello, Uncle Jiang.”

Among everyone present, only Luo Wan remained calmly seated, showing no reaction.

Jiang Meng’s gaze swept across the room, pondering who could be the wife of this Mr. Sheng.

The people present were only two unfamiliar women, one heavily made-up and adorned in luxury brands, while the other was fresh-faced and casually dressed, sitting there with a cool demeanor.

With no makeup on her face, she still possessed a stunning beauty, the type of woman he should choose.

With a smile on his face, he stood next to Luo Wan and bent down, carefully considering his tone as he asked, “Excuse me, are you Miss Luo Wan?”

Luo Wan nodded.

“I’m sorry, what happened today was due to my subordinates’ incompetence. Someone will come to escort you away shortly.”

How gentle could that voice be?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The usually overbearing chief, like he was afraid of frightening the girl, wore a flattering smile.

Things shouldn’t have developed like this.

Relying on the friendship between the two families, Sheng Yujie stepped forward to seek justice for his fiancée.

“Uncle Jiang, this woman is a habitual thief. She should be detained.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a warning glance from the other party.

“Nonsense, everyone present could be the thief, but she couldn’t be.”

Luo Wan was briefly astonished.

She had never met this chief before, yet he was defending her so strongly. Someone must have informed him beforehand.

And the only person with that kind of influence could be him.

Thinking of this, a hint of sweetness emerged in Luo Wan’s heart.

Sheng Yujie was not giving up. He wanted to pressure Jiang Meng with the Sheng family’s identity to punish Luo Wan.

In his mind, Luo Wan was just a country bumpkin who couldn’t compare to the Sheng family.

“Uncle Jiang, this is my fiancée, the granddaughter-in-law of the Sheng family. She was wrongfully accused of theft today. Please punish the real culprit, Uncle Jiang.”

Sheng Yujie’s eyes were determined. He refused to believe that the other party wouldn’t consider the Sheng family.

Jiang Meng looked at the bewildered young man in front of him, feeling a headache coming on. The one above had specifically instructed him to make sure the other party faced consequences.

Sheng Yujie was a member of the Sheng family, so he couldn’t act against him directly. He could only redirect the blame towards Luo Rou.

“The ring disappeared from your hand and was found in your bag. And now you’re accusing this young lady of theft. You’re really passing on the blame skillfully.”

At his words, Luo Rou’s face turned pale.

How could she not understand his meaning? He was trying to protect Luo Wan.

She quickly stepped forward to ingratiate herself, “Uncle Jiang, I am Yujie’s fiancée.”

Jiang Meng

Without any mercy.

“Suspected theft of valuable items is a serious accusation. Whether or not it will be the same after today remains to be seen.”

“Someone, take her to the interrogation room.”

Luo Rou was taken away.

At the same time, a hurried-looking old man entered from outside.

It was Uncle Wang.

He rushed over without delay upon receiving the young master’s call.

“The madam has been distressed.”

“Uncle Wang.”

Luo Wan called softly, then stood up and said to Jiang Meng, “Can I leave now?”

“Yes, yes, the madam has suffered.”

Watching the two leave, Sheng Yujie was still pondering.

He seemed to have seen the person who came to pick up Luo Wan just now.

It seemed that this girl had found a backer in these few days, but in the vast City A, who could surpass the Sheng family?

Just as he was thinking, his head was suddenly slapped hard.

“You, boy, don’t go provoking her in the future. You can’t afford the person behind her.”

“Uncle Jiang, can you tell me who’s behind her?”

“Don’t pry. You’ll know in the future.”

Just now on the phone, he had heard that those two were in a hidden marriage, so he couldn’t reveal the information.

Luo Wan followed Uncle Wang back to Xiyuan.

Li Auntie had been waiting at the door for a long time, constantly asking concerned questions as soon as she saw them.

“Madam, were you scared? Are those people fierce?”

…

Luo Wan felt warm inside.

Since marrying Sheng Qing, she had felt more care from everyone these past few days than from her own father.

The dining room was already set with food, and Li Auntie handed Luo Wan a bowl of soup.

“Come, madam, have some soup to calm your nerves.”

Moved, Luo Wan accepted it and took a sip.

Instantly, she felt warmth spreading through her whole body.

After spending these few days together, Li Auntie genuinely liked this madam. She was approachable and humble, without any airs, and because she was young, she felt like her own daughter.

After finishing her meal, Luo Wan went upstairs to rest.

Just as she finished washing up, her phone rang.

Seeing the name on the screen, warmth surged through her heart.

Even Luo Wan herself hadn’t noticed, but her mindset had already changed. She was no longer hesitant and indifferent.

There was already a hint of sweetness in her heart.
