Chapter 44: Under Investigation

mber to call me so I can have the leftovers."Huo Chenxi got up and picked up his coat, glanced coldly at Zhao Binrui who had last spoken, and walked out without a word."What did I say wrong" Zhao Bina...Su He and Shen Zhaolin exchanged a quick look.

Father and daughter connected, Shen Zhaolin quickly understood Su He's meaning. He shook his head in disapproval. Su He's eyes were full of pleading, even crossing her arms over her chest and clenching her fists, she lightly shook them back and forth, making a gesture of begging.

Seeing that Su He and Gu Qingcheng bore a resemblance to each other, how could Shen Zhaolin resist her pleading look He could only helplessly nod in agreement.

Su He then smiled and turned to walk out the door.

Seeing her walk out, Zhou the secretary feigned concern, but his eyes betrayed his excitement: "Secretary Su, what happened Did you get into something that brought the police to your door Do you need me to find you a lawyer"

Su He glanced at her faintly, watching her insincere performance. Her red lips curled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm, she said in a seemingly genuine but not entirely truthful manner: "There's no need to trouble Zhou Secretary with a lawyer. I'm afraid that if you hire one, it might actually send me to jail."

Zhou's secretary's smile froze instantly on her face. She never expected that Su He would be so arrogant at this time.

Once Su He gets into the police station, she'll definitely find someone to make nice with the officers and have Su He stay there for ten days or half a month. By the time Su He comes out of the police station, they'll have a big mess ready for her to take the blame for.

Thinking this way, Zhou's secretary didn't mind Su He's sarcasm. She gave Su He a faint smile, making his scalp tingle, but secretly, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

She was afraid that Zhou's secretary wouldn't stir up trouble.

Two police officers in uniforms walked over, showed Su He their IDs and announced in a loud voice, “Su He, you are suspected of theft and intentional homicide. Please come with us to assist in the investigation.”

In the gazes of all the secretaries, Su He followed the police officer without looking back.

Shen Zhaolin stood behind the office window, watching Su He's departing figure, a surge of reluctance and regret welling up in his heart.

How could he have just agreed to Su He

If Gu Qingcheng found out that he had risked Su He to "fish", she would probably not let him sleep in bed for three months.

Shen Zhaolin couldn't bear it anymore and directly called the group's legal department: "Have Director Zhao come to my office!"

The police station, an empty interrogation room.

Su He sat behind a low table, facing a tall and long table five meters away where the two police officers who had brought her sat.

The police officer wore a serious expression as he looked at Su He, who was cooperating fully.

Her face was small and oval-shaped, with delicate features. Even with light makeup, her natural purity couldn't be concealed. Especially her eyes were crystal clear and innocent, like a mountain spring that you could see to the bottom, making it impossible to believe she was a villain.

However, the accuser's identity was special. Someone insisted she had committed theft and murder, so they had to bring her back for investigation.

After a routine check of identification and documents, the interrogation officially began.

"Su He, you are suspected of theft and intentional homicide. Do you plead guilty"

Su He shook his head in confusion: "I've never stolen anything, and I would never kill anyone."

The police saw that her expression didn't seem fake. They looked at each other and reminded her, "What is your relationship with the Huo family"

Su He guessed it was He Suwen who went to the police station out of revenge. After all, when He Suwen had made trouble for her outside the Di Jin Group before, she had called her a murderer and accused her of stealing. However, at the time, she was too lazy to pay attention and didn't ask any further questions.

I don't really want to talk about my relationship with Huo Chenxi, after all, they never publicly acknowledged being together before, and the divorce agreement also stipulates that we should keep our relationship confidential.

"I have nothing to do with the Huo family." Su He shook her head and said softly.

“As far as we know, you are the personal assistant hired by Old Madam Huo for Huo Chenxi, responsible for taking care of his daily life.” The police presented Su He with photos of her going grocery shopping and throwing trash in Xingye Bay, their tone becoming sharp. “Su He, is this person in the photos you You better cooperate honestly with the investigation.”

Su He looked at the photo of herself, dressed plainly, with no makeup and carrying a grocery bag as she walked through the luxurious Starry Bay. She really did look like a nanny, and suddenly, she curled her lips into a faint smile.

Before, she only knew that she had to be good to Huo Chenxi, to do her best to take care of him, to give him all her care. She wanted to make him feel secure in his work, and she thought this was love.

But, in the eyes of outsiders, everything she did turned out to be no different from a nanny's.

She lost herself in love, no wonder Huo Chenxi never loved her.

Seeing Su He's self-deprecating expression, the police questioned: "Are these photos real"

Su He didn't offer any excuses: "Yes."

The police officer asked again, “How many years have you worked as Huo Chenxi’s assistant”

"Three years."

After Old Madam Huo passed away, you quit your assistant job, right

Su He hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."

Did Huo Chenxi give you a huge subsidy

$10 billion in alimony, does that count

Su He hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

The police officers, who initially didn't believe she was a criminal, suddenly understood: "The jewelry that Old Mrs. Huo left to Huo Chenxi's fiancée is yours, isn't it"

Su He finally understood how He Suwen framed her.

“Those ornaments, they were given to me by…Granny…Grandma,” Su He raised her head and met the policeman’s sharp gaze, speaking earnestly.

The police officer remained unconvinced, his voice growing colder: "Do you know the value of those jewels How could Old Mrs. Huo possibly give such expensive jewelry to you"

Su He was about to answer when the door of the interrogation room was knocked. A middle-aged man in a well-tailored suit walked in with two young men who looked like his assistants.

"Excuse me, I'm Su He's lawyer Zhao Lei." Zhao Lei handed the letter of introduction and proof to the interrogating police officer, then turned to Su He and said, "Ms. Su, I am here to defend you. From now on, you have the right to remain silent."

The policeman looked at Zhao Lei's business card and suddenly felt overwhelmed.

There are three notorious lawyers in City A, and Zhao Lei is one of them.

If it's someone he wants to protect, no one will be left unprotected.

The police officer was surprised that Su He, being the secretary of the chairman of Yihe Group, would actually have Zhao Lei come forward to defend her.

Zhao Lei proposed to handle bail for Su He. Accepting the special instruction to pay special attention to Su He, the policeman refused with a hard face.

I thought Zhao Lei would cling to this and not let go, but to my surprise, after a few words with Su He, he didn't make things difficult for them. He just asked them to take good care of themselves.

The investigating police officers were somewhat embarrassed.

Half an hour later, a group of people holding blankets walked into one of the detention rooms.

When those people came out, the originally cold and sterile detention room became like a living room. There were pink floral beddings on the beds, flower-shaped loungers beside leaf-shaped floor lamps, and even a mobile snack cart filled with various snacks nearby. As if afraid she would be bored, there was also a tablet computer and several novels.

When Su He was brought in, the sudden warmth took her aback. She was instantly filled with an overwhelming sense of emotion.

Before, she said it didn't matter, but after all, it was detention. Thinking about the cold detention room and the indifferent police officers at the river pool, her heart was still filled with fear and apprehension. still hurts terribly."If Miss Su were to take action, perhaps the child could be saved." Another nurse couldn't help but speak up. After saying it, she immediately covered her mouth, looking like she...
