Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

Chapter 78-83

78. Chu Xi Is Caught

"Is there anyone home? Open the door!" a voice came from outside the door.

Chu Xi's mother-in-law glared at her, and Chu Xi quickly stopped her work and rushed to open the door.

Su Shen must have come to her for help. She was about to make a comeback!

However, when she opened the door, she was taken aback, and her immediate instinct was to run away. However, her in-laws stopped her.

Her father-in-law unkindly said, "Why are you running away? Did you steal someone's man?"

Her mother-in-law sarcastically scolded her, "You can't do anything right. You even got fired as a nanny. Worthless worm."

Chu Xi tried to explain, covering her head, "I didn't, I didn't!"

Two police officers in uniform entered and asked, "Who is Chu Xi?"

Chu Xi's in-laws, upon realizing it was the police, were shocked and pointed at her, scolding, "You fool, why did you call the police?"

"You're Chu Xi," said a policeman."Please come with us to the Public Security

Bureau."

Chu Xi cried out in panic, "No, no, I'm not her. I'm not going!"

However, the police wouldn't let her make a scene. Two policemen carried her into the police car.

The other villages who were around the area came to watch the commotion and saw this scene.

"Chu Xi's hands and feet have always been dirty. This time, she must be in big trouble!"

"I heard that she was fired by Su Shen because she took something she shouldn't have."

"You guys don't know yet, right? I saw the Su family rushing off to the city at noon. The second son of the Su family seems to have been poisoned!"

In the long hospital corridor, a tall figure stood by the window. As the figure approached, the faint smell of tobacco wafted through the air. It was somewhat pleasant.

Su Shen sensed someone approaching him and turned around to see Gu Zi. She was putting out a cigarette in the cigarette butt box. Su Shen said, "Sorry you have to go through this."

Gu Zi gazed at him, her gaze steady. There was a trace of sadness in his otherwise cold profile. She said, "I'm not concerned about all this. What matters is that Su Li is safe."

Su Shen looked at her gratefully. If she hadn't noticed the abnormality in Su Li in time, all three children might have been in the hospital right now.

"Chu Xi has been arrested. We just need to await the results of further investigation," Su Shen informed her.

Gu Zi was a little surprised. Didn't he only visit the Public Security Bureau today? Had they gathered enough evidence so quickly?

"How can you be sure that you can prosecute Chu Xi with just a bowl of poisoned rice?" she inquired.

Gu Zi was starting to think that she had underestimated Su Shen's capabilities. He had asked the old Chinese doctor to accompany him to the police station, and Chu Xi was arrested even without conclusive evidence.

This must be because he had connections in the Public Security Bureau, right?

"I have my ways, but further investigation is needed to convict her. It's just a matter of time," Su Shen replied.

Gu Zi nodded, increasingly impressed. He seemed to be very confident.

"Let's get some rest- I've asked the nurse to arrange for two extra beds. so we'll manage for the night," Su Shen said.
