Chapter 132 Shen Chaohuai is Imprisoned
Su Qi was anxious and turned around to ask the policewoman, "Where is Shen Chaohuai?"
The policewoman presented evidence: "By the way, your brother Shen Chaohuai has turned himself in and is still in the interrogation room. If there is evidence to prove that he was not a participant in the Shen family's private transfer of national antiques, we will release him."
For some reason, Su Qi's legs suddenly went weak.
In that instant, my heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest.
His phrase "As you wish" sounded more like he was just being stubborn.
She panicked, even became somewhat anxious.
"how so……"
The system's voice suddenly rang out at an inopportune moment.
[Congratulations! The special event "Rescue the Girl" is underway. Please act when the opportunity arises.]
If this is the only chance, Su Qi will not let it go no matter what, even if it means risking Shen Chaohuai's entire life.
Looking at the overwhelming number of headlines on the blog, such as "Rising Star Shen Chaohuai Arrested and Interrogated" and "Young Master Shen Imprisoned," Su Qi's eyes were vacant as he silently turned off his phone.
Once the police arrest Shen Tiancheng and Zhao Meihua, Su Qi will have a chance to return to the Shen family and rescue Shen Yu.
An anonymous message urged anxiously: Hurry up! The Shen family has suddenly encountered a crisis, this is a golden opportunity!
Su Qi: Wait for everyone to leave.
All the servants in the Shen family villa were dismissed. Su Qi stood not far from the hillside and saw Shen Tiancheng and Zhao Meihua get into the police car. The 1.5-meter-tall antique was broken in half and taken away.
She was even somewhat surprised: "Is this how people here treat these ancient artifacts?"
Because the antique was embedded in a mechanism, it would be virtually impossible to take it away intact, but the police needed to keep evidence, so this was the only way.
[The authorization from the State Administration of Antiques shouldn't be considered a problem.]
"So...that means those people didn't discover the mechanism or the secret passage?"
[They definitely didn't notice, otherwise they would have brought the girl downstairs out with them.]
Su Qi was now at ease. She saw that the Shen family's gate was sealed off and the crowd had dispersed before she stood at the gate again.
She didn't need to touch the seal; she could simply scale the walls and enter the courtyard directly.
Returning to the basement through the secret passage, Shen Yu stared blankly at her.
She hesitated for a moment, then sent a message to the anonymous message: Are you sure you are really in this body?
Anonymous message: Take me away now, enough nonsense.
Anonymous message: I am being suppressed by what is below, and I have no way to merge with my body and manifest my true form.
Su Qi was stunned: There's something down there?
Anonymous message: [Angry.jpg] Ugh, there's something dirty, a ghost! Do I have to spell it out for you?
Anonymous message: I need to get away from the city now. You'd better find a car to take me out. I'll repay you afterwards, but it won't be combined with the previously agreed-upon reward!
Su Qi: Okay, I'll personally deliver it to you. That way, the rewards won't be added together, right?
Anonymous message: ...
She helped Shen Yu into the back seat of the car, drew the curtains, and the car drove out of the underground parking lot.
If Shen Yu only needs to get away from Hong Kong, Su Qi would rather send her to a more distant place, so that she can have more time to buffer and hide.
Seeing that Su Qi's car had already driven to the border, the anonymous source became anxious.
Anonymous message: Speechless, sis, did I ask you to take me to such a far place?
Su Qi glanced at the message on her phone and converted it to text: I'm protecting you, why are you talking so much nonsense?
The two seemed to be in two different dimensions as they spoke. Soon, Su Qi dumped Shen Yu on a deserted island overseas.
Anonymous message: Damn, are you taking this opportunity to get revenge?
Su Qi: This is called desert island survival. You can hone your skills and come back later.
Su Qi threw a box of clothes at Shen Yu's body, and Shen Yu babbled incoherently.
The anonymous message hasn't arrived for half an hour.
Shen Yu's pupils were visibly regaining their light, so Su Qi left with peace of mind. Before leaving, she prepared a cell phone, a compass, and a boat for Shen Yu.
Upon returning to the port city, the system unexpectedly indicated that the special event was not yet over and would not resume for several weeks.
Su Qi found it amusing: "Is the timing really that precise? It's as if the system and the development of events were pre-planned..."
How strange, there's still time?
Just like some video games have time limits for event start times.
Feifei fiddled with the light screen.
As she approached the city center street, a short-haired woman waved to her, and her car slowly came to a stop.
"Gu Yan? What are you doing here?"
Gu Yan approached, and after she rolled down the car window completely, she showed no intention of getting in and sitting for a moment.
Gu Yan crossed her arms and leaned against her driver's seat, one hand resting on the glass, as she took the Libin cigarette from Su Qi's hand.
"Thanks."
Gu Yan lit a cigarette in front of her and then took a puff.
"I didn't expect you to smoke too."
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Why can't women smoke?"
"By the way, niece, do you want to watch the news replay? Shen Tiancheng can't explain himself even in ten sentences now."
"You did a great job. The Shen family is doomed now."
Su Qi slightly moved her lips, a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "What does this mean? Is your aunt kicking me when I'm down?"
Gu Yan's tone even carried a hint of smugness, as if she were overjoyed to have her major worry resolved through someone else's intervention.
"Alright, I should go now. No need to see me off."
Su Qi watched Gu Yan leave, frowning, "Nobody wants to see you off."
Su Qi tapped his fingers lightly, lit a cigarette, and started smoking inside the car, slowly rolling up the window.
As she passed by the city center's large screen, she noticed that the news trending on the screen was about Gu Yan.
"According to reports, only tens of thousands of priceless antiques have been found in the Shen family villa. The specific source is under investigation. Please stay tuned for further reports."
Afterwards, footage of Shen Chaohuai being investigated appeared.
"Mr. Shen, you inherited your family business and have antiques to your name, so why are you entering the entertainment industry? Are you trying to launder money?" The reporter's impolite questioning angered the young nobleman on screen.
But he just smiled faintly, his lips taut, and said, "No one would complain about not having enough money, right?"
"So, the frugality advocated by the Shen family is all a sham?"
Shen Chaohuai's expression was cold, as if he had heard something funny: "That was a performance put on by Shen Tiancheng and Zhao Meihua for you to see, not something I advocated."
"The police also found an antique watch in your study. How do you explain that?"
Shen Chaohuai actually admitted in front of hundreds of millions of viewers: "If I don't show it to you, would you believe me? At that time, the police won't come."
Don't forget, the Shen family always presents a frugal and thrifty image to the outside world; even their villa was a patchwork of second-hand items.
How can a complaint without any evidence attract people to investigate in person?
However, Su Qi only saw half of the report, and she did not pay attention to Shen Chaohuai's subsequent explanation.
At 10 p.m., Su Qi arrived at the police station where Shen Chaohuai was being held.
"Shen Chaohuai, someone is visiting you. You can come out in ten minutes."
Only a sliver of light shone through the iron bars, and a red mark, even a little blood, was left on the fair skin by the shackles.
When Su Qi faced Shen Chaohuai and saw the shocking marks on his hands, he was momentarily flustered.
