This wasn't Liu Yaohui's first time being arrested, so he wouldn't panic. He also knew he couldn't drag his mother into this; she could find a way to help him from outside.

Besides, he wasn't guilty at all. He didn't steal the gold bars, so don't try to pin a baseless charge on him.

"Then tell me what evidence you have to prove that Xia Yichu stole it. We've already questioned Luo Yuechuan. Xia Yichu didn't even have a chance to steal the gold bars that day; she didn't even go into Xia Guofang and Luo Hao's room."

"Could she have scouted the place first, then planned to steal it at night?"

"Your mother and the Luo family are all home at night, how could a young girl like her steal?"

"Couldn't she just climb onto the balcony and go in?"

"She can fly over that high balcony! And she even climbed up there. You try climbing up there yourself."

The police officer who questioned them was in charge of the burglary case at the Luo family's house. He was the one who went to the scene and knew the layout of the Luo family's house very well. The Luo family had stainless steel security windows on the first floor, except for one bathroom window.

However, the window was small and high, making it difficult to climb in. A child could climb in, but it would be quite a challenge for an adult. There were two balconies upstairs, both with stainless steel security bars on the windows. Let alone Xia Yichu, he couldn't even climb onto the balcony without any tools.

"Tell me, why did you frame Xia Yichu? What is your purpose?"

"I didn't mean to frame her, I just suspect she wanted to provide you with clues to try and get a lighter sentence. Besides, I didn't steal those gold bars."

"Then why do you say Xia Yichu stole it? You have no evidence and you didn't see it. You're just making baseless accusations. Be careful she doesn't sue you for defamation, which would make your case even more serious."

"I didn't say it must be Xia Yichu. I'm providing clues for your police to investigate."

"Then tell us why you suspect Xia Yichu?"

"Because I only met her for the first time when I was in Shenzhen, she falsely accused me of being a pervert, which caused me to be arrested for several days. Later, she also extorted 50,000 yuan from my mother."

She found me at the Luo family's house that day; she must have wanted to harm me again, and then she found an opportunity to steal the gold bars from Xia Guofang's house to frame me. Yes, that must be what happened.

The more Liu Yaohui listened, the more sense it made. He had felt uneasy the first time Xia Yichu looked at him. But she was so beautiful that he ignored it and thought he was seeing things.

"You had a conflict with Xia Yichu before."

"No, I've never even seen her."

He first learned of Xia Yichu's existence when his mother and cousin Chen Shaoping were on the phone. He even questioned his mother about why she introduced such a good girl to his cousin instead of introducing one to him.

His mother actually said that he and his cousin weren't a good match, and that his cousin had spent three or four years trying to win Xia Yichu's heart, eventually making her completely devoted to him. She also assured him that his cousin wouldn't forget him when he became successful and would even help him out.

"So you mean you just guessed all of this?"

"Yes, my intuition tells me that Xia Yichu hates me, and she deliberately stole the gold bars to harm me."

"Intuition? If your intuition were useful, would you still be losing so much money at the casino? Think carefully about when you're willing to tell the truth before you come back. Take him away."

"I'm telling the truth, why won't you believe me? Is it because of Xia Zhiheng that you're protecting Xia Yichu? I'm going to sue..."

Liu Yaohui's voice gradually faded until it could no longer be heard. Xia Zhiheng stared at Xia Yichu the whole time and noticed that she had no expression at all, appearing completely indifferent.

However, Xia Zhiheng still noticed that her eyes were different; there seemed to be hatred in them when she looked at Liu Yaohui.

"You hate Lau Yiu-fai?"

"Yes, I hate everyone associated with Chen Shaoping, including Xu Yumei. She's the one who let Chen Shaoping get close to me when I was in junior high school, almost ruining my life. Shouldn't I hate them?"

Xia Zhiheng frowned and asked, "Are you saying that Xu Yumei knew all along that you were my uncle's daughter, and deliberately let Chen Shaoping get close to you?"

"Yes, Chen Shaoping told me this himself."

Xia Yichu figured that since Chen Shaoping was already dead, and what she said was the truth, there was no way to verify it, so she concluded that what Chen Shaoping said was what he said.

"What, you suspect me of stealing too?"

Seeing Xia Zhiheng remain silent, Xia Yichu said something half-jokingly.

"No, what nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Chu, have you told your aunt about Xu Yumei?"

"No, even if I told her, she wouldn't believe me."

Xia Yichu didn't want Xu Yumei to leave the Luo family so soon. She was studying in Pengcheng and hadn't found a chance to take revenge before. If Xu Yumei went to work elsewhere, how would she get revenge later?

Now that Liu Yaohui is in trouble and she's penniless, just wait and see. Xu Yumei won't leave the Luo family easily; she'll still be after Luo Yuekai.

"Come on, come home with me now. We'll go see your uncle this afternoon. Tell him that Xu Yumei is not a simple person."

Luo Yuekai and Luo Yuechuan are at his house. His grandparents will definitely have lunch at the Zhou family's house before coming back.

Xu Yumei is cunning and scheming. It's terrifying that she could plot for her nephew even knowing that Xiao Chu is a child of the Xia family. Xia Zhiheng is now a little worried about Luo Yuekai.

"I'm not going. I want to go home. I'll go with you around noon."

"Why are you going home now? Your sister-in-law really likes you visiting her home; go and keep her company."

"I don't want to. Luo Yuekai is too noisy. He's so disruptive. I don't want to go."

"Okay, I'll take you home."

Xia Yichu didn't refuse again, and Xia Zhiheng left after taking her home. Xia Yichu stayed at home for a while before going out. She wanted to visit the haunted house, since she had lived there in her past life.

The door wasn't locked, so she pushed it open and went inside. The previous owner of the house was probably a wealthy family; although it was dirty and messy inside, the walls were still in good condition after all these years.

She now lives in a two-courtyard house, but this place is bigger than hers; it's a three-courtyard house.

In his past life, the Xia family suffered a series of misfortunes, forcing Xia Guoan to put aside his work and return to Kyoto. Perhaps out of guilt towards her and her mother, he even quit his beloved career to come back and be with Xia Yichu.

After Xia Guoan returned, he had the house cleaned up so Xia Yichu could move in with him. He even learned to cook and prepared meals for Xia Yichu every day. The food wasn't very good, and she would criticize it daily, but he never got angry.

She secretly went to Xia Guofang's house to learn cooking from Xu Yumei. Because of this, Xia Guofang even came to her house and scolded her. At that time, Xia Yichu was already in a state of giving up, and she didn't care who scolded her.

However, her good fortune didn't last long. After only a little over a month of staying there, she was tricked by Chen Shaoping and Yang Mengru into sleeping with Liu Yaohui.

To be precise, Liu Yaohui was also involved in this matter, because she forced Chen Shaoping to marry her, and when they were pushed too far, they tried to harm her, partly because she had no further use to them.
