Wu Fang instinctively had a bad premonition in her heart, but she didn't want to let go of this opportunity just like that.
It was no exaggeration to say that Zhang Kai was her last straw now.
Hesitation led to two policemen quickly walking over and taking Zhang Kai and Wu Fang away.
It wasn't until she sat in the police car that Wu Fang still felt a bit dazed. She always thought that everything she had experienced that night was a bit too surreal.
Shen Nanyi and Ji Beichuan were sitting in the coffee shop, witnessing the whole process of Wu Fang being taken to the police station. Turning to look at Ji Beichuan, Shen Nanyi's little brain was a bit slow to react.
"The necklace you gave him just now was real." Looking at the expression on Shen Nanyi's face, Ji Beichuan finally revealed the mystery, with a doting smile on his face.
After hearing this, Shen Nanyi was stunned on the spot. She never expected it to be like this.
Originally, she just planned to make Wu Fang lose money, but she didn't expect Ji Beichuan to be so meticulous in his work. He directly designed a scheme within a scheme.
"You're so amazing..." Shen Nanyi looked at Ji Beichuan with an admiring look and let out another admiring exclamation.
Zhang Kai was a top figure from a red - third - generation family. Ji Beichuan actually had an intersection with such a person. More importantly, judging from the meaning of his words, the relationship between the two was also quite special.
"There's nothing amazing about this. Grandpa Shen has a much wider network of contacts than I do. Even Zhang Kai's father is his good friend." Looking at Shen Nanyi's admiring little look, Ji Beichuan thought that Shen Nanyi might have some misunderstandings about him.
To a certain extent, the Shen family was no worse than the Ji family. Grandpa Shen had fought his way through the battlefield and achieved his status with real courage.
One could imagine the position of those who came down from the battlefield and continued to engage in politics in that era.
"Then I'm quite amazing too!" Shen Nanyi never expected that although she didn't become a member of the royal family in this life, she still had such a wide network of contacts.
This realization made Shen Nanyi feel a bit smug for no reason.
Ji Beichuan just smiled without saying a word. Many things didn't need to be said too clearly. He believed that Shen Nanyi could understand. Although the Ji family and the Shen family were not involved in politics, given the current strength of the Ji and Shen families, how could they have nothing to do with the political circle?
Political power and financial power were inseparable to a certain extent. It was just that many times it wasn't stated so straightforwardly.
On the other side, Wu Fang was taken to the police station before she even understood what was going on. Fortunately, Zhang Kai had been staying by Wu Fang's side, which gave Wu Fang a little more hope in her heart.
How could someone in Zhang Kai's position set a trap for her? This must be a misunderstanding.
Thinking like this, Wu Fang felt that she had regained her strength. Sitting in the police car, she began to explain to Zhang Kai, "Young Master Zhang, things are not what you think. I didn't steal the thing. You must believe me."
Zhang Kai didn't say a word all the time. Wu Fang thought that Zhang Kai should believe her and wanted to explain it to him again.
Zhang Kai beside her just kept smiling and nodding without saying a word. It was hard to tell whether he had listened to Wu Fang's words or not.
However, even a small nodding action made Wu Fang feel much more at ease. She gave Zhang Kai a shy smile.
It was the first time Zhang Kai had seen someone sitting in a police car smiling so happily. He instantly thought that Wu Fang might be a bit stupid. But thinking of his good brother's instructions, Zhang Kai still continued to smile at Wu Fang until his face felt stiff.
Actually, according to Ji Beichuan's plan, Zhang Kai should have been more friendly in the car and even chatted with Wu Fang. But after seeing Wu Fang, Zhang Kai said that he really couldn't handle this task.
The car soon arrived at the police station. Zhang Kai and Wu Fang were immediately separated for interrogation.
As the victim, Zhang Kai only needed to recount the process of what had happened. Zhang Kai's account was also very simple. Something had been lost from his home and then appeared on Wu Fang. He also presented the price appraisal report.
Looking at the price on it, the policemen counted the long string of numbers for a long time and still couldn't figure it out. The policemen knew that the matter was serious.
As a well - known figure in the circle, Zhang Kai was a name everyone knew. If this matter was not handled well, it might very well affect their own political future.
On the other side, Wu Fang strongly denied it, saying that she hadn't participated in the theft. She claimed that she had bought the thing through a proper channel. But she couldn't explain clearly through what channel she had bought it and couldn't produce any solid evidence.
Without any suspense, the police station finally decided that Wu Fang should return the lost item to the owner. As for the money Wu Fang had been cheated out of, they would verify it. If it was true, they would try to recover it.
Wu Fang couldn't accept this result. One million yuan was not a small amount for her now. Moreover, even if the money was recovered, she didn't know when it would be. Naturally, she wouldn't do such a losing business.
In the face of money, Wu Fang, who was always known for being understanding, finally couldn't help but tear off her disguise and quarreled directly with the police officers in the police station.
"Do you just say whatever you want? I bought this thing with real money. If it can't be recovered, who will compensate for my loss?"
"When something like this happens, you should look for the thief, not ask me for it. I'm also a victim!"
Wu Fang didn't care about her image at all. She just wanted to protect her wealth.
The policemen really didn't know what to say. After all, what Wu Fang said was reasonable. She was indeed a victim. But according to the relevant legal procedures, their actions were completely correct. They could only keep reasoning with Wu Fang.
At first, Wu Fang could still pretend to reason with them peacefully. But in the end, she became more and more irritated as she listened and gradually stopped paying attention to her words.
"I've already said that I won't give you the thing. Do you still want to rob me?"
"This is a society ruled by law. It's not up to you to say whatever you want. If you dare to rob my things, I'll expose your actions today on the Internet."
Holding the necklace around her neck tightly with one hand, the policemen really didn't know what to do with Wu Fang.
After all, they couldn't really go up and rob Wu Fang's things. The situation was at a standstill for a while.
The police station chief was also in a dilemma. In desperation, he had to tell Zhang Kai the whole story.
At this moment, he just hoped that Zhang Kai would be reasonable and understand his difficulties and not make things too hard for him.
Fortunately, Zhang Kai really didn't make things difficult for the police chief. He even asked to be taken to see Wu Fang. Hearing this, the police chief was so happy that he almost jumped up. He immediately led someone to the place where Wu Fang was.
At this moment, Wu Fang still didn't know that Zhang Kai was already standing at the door. She was still arguing with the police in the room. Because it had been a long time, Wu Fang didn't pay much attention to her words anymore. She was no different from a shrew on the street.
Standing at the door and watching for a while, Zhang Kai wasn't surprised. Instead, he reached out and knocked on the door.
