Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 737: Chapter 711: Pleading Guilty

Zhou Susu’s eyes lit up after hearing it, and she said, “Ye Chen, I’m crazy about you, you’ve lightened our workload significantly.”

Seeing the scene before them, all the police officers were a bit confused. What method had the captain so excited?

After Ye Chen and the girl left, Zhou Susu called over two police officers and said, “Xiao Zhang, Little Li, go inquire about that woman, find out about the child being sick and hospitalized.”

After receiving the captain’s order, Xiao Zhang and Little Li were a bit puzzled but still complied.

The heavily made-up woman was brought into the interrogation room. Seeing the two officers sitting across from her, she said bluntly, “I don’t know anything you’re asking, just talk to my lawyer if there’s anything.”

Hearing how arrogant the woman spoke, Xiao Zhang’s face darkened. He was already angry at Zhou Susu’s actions toward Ye Chen and had nowhere to vent, and the woman’s attitude was infuriating.

Seeing this, fellow officer Little Li quickly whispered, “Focus on work, don’t get angry, or it’ll be hard to continue questioning.”

Officer Xiao Zhang calmed down and asked, “Talk about your son being sick and hospitalized.”

Upon hearing the police ask this, the heavily made-up woman had a fleeting smile. She then choked and said, “Officer, my son got food poisoning and writhed in pain after eating at that ice cream shop, so my husband and I rushed him to the hospital that same day.”

Before the woman could finish, Xiao Zhang impatiently said, “Do you have evidence to prove what you said is true?”

“The diagnosis certificate you found is the evidence, and the date on it is the day of the incident.”

The woman recounted everything in detail, thinking to herself that since she had been brought in, the police hadn’t asked about the child’s hospitalization. Since they were asking now, it meant they believed she and her husband were victims.

Before the police could speak, the woman immediately said, “Officer, if there’s anything else you need to know, I’ll tell you truthfully.”

This time, the woman’s attitude made a complete about-face.

After completing the transcript, the woman was taken back into custody.

Now she was thinking that she and her husband would soon be released.

After exiting the interrogation room, Xiao Zhang and Little Li headed straight to Zhou Susu’s office, taking out the transcript for her to review.

“Captain, what’s the point of asking these questions? Does it relate to the video we watched?” Xiao Zhang, having completed his task, finally voiced his curiosity.

“Just find that diagnosis certificate, and then go back two days from the date on it, and watch the videos from those three days, and we’ll find evidence,” Zhou Susu said with a smile.

“Even if it reduces a lot of work, is this method feasible?” Little Wang asked.

Zhou Susu shot them a look and said, “Just do as I say, unless you want to watch everything?”

“No, no, no, we’ll get right on it. Please show mercy, Captain,” Xiao Zhang and Little Wang said in unison.

After two hours, they finished watching all the videos and indeed found evidence in the footage from those three days.

The video showed that the child felt a stomachache and rolled on the ground after eating an ice drink at their own shop.

After showing this video to the heavily made-up woman, she was dumbfounded. Her husband had told her all the videos were deleted, so how could there be any left?

The two lawyers, learning that the heavily made-up woman had lied to them and hadn’t disclosed the truth, were furious. They no longer wanted to represent the couple.

After all, risking their own reputation for some legal fees was not worth it and would negatively impact their careers.

Thus, they informed the head office of the truth and requested to withdraw as representing lawyers for the case.

Originally, Manager Zhou had been in contact with newspaper reporters about publishing the food poisoning incident at Round and Fat Ice Cream Shop. But upon hearing the truth, he immediately called it off.

If this news were published tomorrow, it would clearly backfire and hugely impact Pang Guoguo’s head office.

Manager Zhou’s face turned ugly as he cursed, “This couple is really troublemakers. Terminate their franchise contract, reclaim the store, and demand repayment of owed fees.”

At the same time, Pang Guoguo head office issued a statement that the food poisoning incident had nothing to do with the company, and that Ms. Chen and her husband used unfair means to frame others, which was entirely their actions without the company’s knowledge.

Faced with evidence, the couple could only bow their heads and plead guilty.

Things turned out worse; instead of framing others, they ended up in jail, losing their store, and leaving their child unattended.

It’s truly the saying, ‘you reap what you sow’ in action.

Ye Chen received a call from Zhou Susu: “You really helped me a lot this time. Without you, the case might not have been solved.”

Ye Chen laughed, “How do you plan to thank me?”

“Let me think about it, I have a lot of work to handle right now,” said Zhou Susu, and then hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, the girl received a call from the police station, telling her she had been falsely accused and that the couple would compensate her.

Hearing this, the girl was very happy; her name was finally cleared, and otherwise, her ice cream shop’s business would surely have been impacted.

She knew the police were able to solve the case thanks to that delivery boy’s help, and she thought she should thank him.

However, she’d only met Ye Chen twice, didn’t even know his name or where he lived, so how could she find him?

Thinking about this, the girl felt sad, thinking maybe she’d never see that handsome and kind-hearted delivery boy again.

On the next day, Lin Wanrou called to say she was coming back to Modu.

Early in the morning, Ye Chen drove to the airport.

Soon, the plane landed.

People holding their luggage came out.

Among the crowd, the most striking figure was Lin Wanrou.

Four people followed Lin Wanrou.

One of them, a young man dressed in Hermes, was being very attentive beside Lin Wanrou, carrying her suitcase.

This time, Lin Wanrou also brought two colleagues.

Lin Wanrou’s eyes lit up when she saw Ye Chen.

“Gongzi,”

It had been so long since she’d seen Ye Chen, and Lin Wanrou really missed him.

Ye Chen gave Lin Wanrou a gentle smile.

“Gongzi, let me introduce you. This is our project manager, Chen Ming, and this is my assistant, Little Rou.”

Ye Chen greeted the two and then said, “Alright, since you’re in Modu, let me treat you all to a meal. You’ve worked hard during this time.”

“Sure, you’ll treat us to a big meal,” Lin Wanrou said with a smile.

Seeing that Ye Chen was driving his Geely car, Chen Ming looked disdainful.

“Wanrou, your friend drives such an old car.”
