"It's me." Before Yu Hui could react, Gu Sisi spoke first.
Wang An and Yu Hui, who had been in the room, exchanged a glance. They still remembered clearly what Gu Sisi had said just now. They had wanted to say something but thought better of it and swallowed their words.
The hostility of these people in front of them was too intense. Wang An took a few steps back, his hands behind his back, preparing to call the police.
These people came closer and sized up Gu Sisi from head to toe.
Gu Sisi remained calm and let them look at her without a trace of panic.
The man in the lead made a gesture, gave Gu Sisi a sidelong glance, then shifted his gaze away and said to the people behind him, "Search them! We must find it today."
Those people responded in unison and scattered, as if they were looking for something here.
"Who gave you the right to do this?" Gu Sisi blocked their way.
The people who were about to start searching stopped and burst into laughter. Yu Hui sensed that something was wrong. She was just about to persuade Gu Sisi not to confront them head - on when those people spoke up.
"Can't you tell who we are?" The man in the lead took out a certificate and showed it in front of Gu Sisi, saying word by word, "See clearly?"
Gu Sisi took a few glances, her brow furrowing deeper.
How could this be?
This was Gu Sisi's first thought. Wang An, who had been paying close attention to the situation, was stunned and stopped his secretive actions.
In this case, wasn't what he was doing now completely meaningless?
"Let me tell you," the man in the lead suddenly raised his voice and looked at the three of them, "We've received a tip - off from the public. We suspect that you're hiding drugs here."
The three of them gasped.
"If we find any, none of you will get away!"
This warning stunned them on the spot. The people who had just come in were rummaging around.
They searched carefully behind the ornaments, inside the pillows, behind the TV, on top of the air - conditioner, and so on.
"What's going on?" Yu Hui, who was completely confused about the situation and even more puzzled as to why Gu Sisi was here, whispered.
Gu Sisi shook her head slightly, her eyes full of doubts.
The man in the lead stood in front of them with his arms folded, staring intently.
"Officer Liang, we've searched everywhere but found nothing," a man walked up, frowning.
Logically speaking, if they found even a small packet of drugs here, the consequences they would face would be severe.
Moreover, it would surely lead to uncovering a complete drug - selling chain. By then, the problem would be far more complicated than it seemed on the surface.
Most importantly, since drugs were involved, this was a very serious matter. Although nothing had been found for now, Gu Sisi and the others looked extremely pale.
"It seems there's nothing here. Then we..." The man was just about to suggest leaving.
The man in the lead gave him a casual look, and the man lowered his head and fell silent.
This Officer Liang, as they called him, suddenly became interested in a doll in the room. Originally, seeing that his subordinates had found nothing, he had suggested that the drugs might be hidden in a secret place and told them to search carefully.
Although it made sense, Gu Sisi still found it a bit strange. It was as if they were certain that there were drugs here.
They took the three of them into a room. After seeing the doll on the bedside.
Gu Sisi clearly heard a stifled sob. She looked over and saw that it was Yu Hui, and her face looked very unnatural.
How could this be? Gu Sisi's heart tightened. But her reason told her that it was impossible.
"Everyone, come here," the tall man in the lead shouted sharply, summoning all his subordinates to this room.
"What's up, boss?" Everyone rushed over in a hurry, looking tense and serious, afraid of missing something.
When they saw the "Pikachu" doll in the tall man's hand, they all frowned in confusion.
"Boss? What's this?" Finally, someone asked.
The tall man raised his eyebrows and questioned, "Have you searched this area?"
Although everyone was still in the dark, they couldn't help but start to look carefully.
They exchanged glances and shook their heads.
"Well, this is a Pikachu doll," the tall man murmured. Then, under everyone's gaze, he did something unexpected.
He tore the doll apart.
"Don't!" Yu Hui shouted, but it was too late.
The white fluff inside was exposed. The once - intact Pikachu looked like a defeated soldier, tattered.
But there was nothing else except the fluff.
"How could this be?" The tall man muttered to himself. The smile on his lips faded, and his hands moved faster and faster. He was almost tearing the small toy into pieces, but he still couldn't find what he was looking for.
Gu Sisi finally felt relieved. Although she didn't understand the whole situation, she was sure that they had escaped this danger.
The tall man stared at them in disbelief, his expression looking a bit comical. Maybe he had never thought this was a possibility.
Everyone stared intently at the doll, trying to find something special. They blinked, but still saw nothing. The tall man squinted at Yu Hui, whose expression had been abnormal just now. With his imposing manner, he questioned, "Did you hide the stuff?"
Yu Hui turned her face away and remained silent.
Seeing this, Gu Sisi quickly stepped in between them. She raised her head and said firmly, "I don't care what you're looking for, but you have no evidence to prove that we have it. You've searched everywhere and found nothing. You have no right to interrogate us."
"What if we insist?" The tall man squinted his eyes and asked.
"Then I'll question the authenticity of your identity. If it's real..." Gu Sisi also squinted her eyes and said word by word, "Then I'll report you!"
"Fine," the tall man suddenly said. He turned to look at the people behind him.
"Since we've found nothing today, let's go back first."
Someone cleared his throat and coughed into his half - closed fist, looking around. It was true that they had searched every place.
No one said anything else. The tall man's eyes fixed for a moment, then he gave the order, "Since we didn't find anything today, let's go back first."
Everyone walked out of the room slowly. When they reached the door, the tall man suddenly turned around and said to them, "You'd better be careful. If you ever fall into my hands, I'll never let you go."
Gu Sisi stared at his departing back and said nothing. When they left the room, she was just about to turn around and say something to Yu Hui.
A voice came from outside, "I'm back."
It was Wang Quan. Everyone's expressions changed greatly. Since the group of people hadn't left yet, they rushed out in a hurry.
They saw Wang Quan standing there blankly, with fruits scattered all over the ground.
At this moment, they only saw the backs of those people leaving. The door slammed shut, and they were finally gone.
