Chapter 30: The Show Is About to Begin

Shen Chutang grabbed the woman's arm and flung it aside, regarding the three women before her with cold, amused eyes. "So, you didn't come here to congratulate me on my new home, did you?"

Shen Tingting sneered, "Your husband is nothing but a poor driver—where did you get the money to rent a place like this? I think you not only broke into someone else's house, but also stole!"

Liu Shuhua chimed in, "Exactly! How could you do such immoral things? Who knows what other sneaky business you've been up to, sneaking into this neighborhood!"

Taking advantage of the others blocking Shen Chutang's view, Shen Meili deliberately tossed a designer watch onto the sofa.

Hearing Liu Shuhua's accusation, Shen Meili exclaimed, "I told you, I lost a million-dollar watch a few days ago—it must have been her!"

Shen Chutang watched the three women play out their drama in silence. "Then call the police."

That was exactly what Shen Meili had been waiting for. She immediately summoned the police, claiming someone had broken into a mansion and stolen her million-dollar watch.

Not only did the police arrive, but a few reporters showed up as well.

Shen Tingting faced the reporters, her expression tinged with disappointment. "I never expected my sister to do something like this—not only breaking into someone's luxury villa to live in it, but also stealing from other residents. I just hope everyone remembers she's just come out of the mountains and doesn't know better. As long as she returns what she took, let's not be too harsh on her."

Beside her, a reporter couldn't help but sigh, thinking the second young lady of the Shen family was truly educated and kind-hearted.

The police began their investigation, and Shen Meili pointed at Shen Chutang, shouting, "Officer, she's the one who stole my watch!"

Shen Chutang glanced at her. "Everything requires evidence."

Shen Meili quickly replied, "The item must be in this room—search it and you'll see!"

"If you want to search my house, you'll need a warrant."

At that moment, Liu Shuhua cried out dramatically, "Oh my, what's this!"

She picked up a watch from the sofa in front of everyone. "Meili, is this your watch?"

Shen Meili nodded eagerly. "That's right, it's mine! She really did steal it!"

The police said, "Miss, please come with us to assist in the investigation."

Seeing the smug smiles on Liu Shuhua and the others, Shen Chutang didn't protest, obediently getting into the police car.

Soon, the waiting reporters posted the incident online.

[Shocking news! Heiress occupies someone else's mansion and steals a million-dollar watch—caught red-handed!]

Lu Beiqin had just finished a day of meetings. Pulling out his phone, he saw the news, with a photo showing Shen Chutang getting into a police car.

His brows furrowed deeply as he rose and strode out. Zhang Chuan hurried after him. "Mr. Lu, where are we going?"

"The police station."

Zhang Chuan dared not ask further, simply following.

Meanwhile, at the police station.

The police looked at the property deed, confirming Shen Chutang was indeed the owner of the villa, and the real estate agent also verified she was the new owner.

Sitting calmly in the station, Shen Chutang spoke, "Officer, they claim I stole the watch. You can check the fingerprints on it to see if I ever touched it."

The results were clear: apart from Shen Meili and Liu Shuhua, there were no other fingerprints on the watch.

Though this didn't prove Shen Chutang was innocent, she was released while the police continued their investigation.

Seated quietly, Shen Chutang appeared harmless. "They were so aggressive earlier, even called reporters to wait at my door. I won't go outside—I'd be mobbed."

"Then call someone to pick you up."

Shen Chutang took her phone and posted in her senior brothers' group chat: [Senior brothers, I've been falsely accused and thrown in jail.]

Senior Brother Cang Ming: [Who dares touch our little junior sister? They must have a death wish!]

Second Brother Jian Moqing: [Trying to lock up our Tangtang? Let my scalpel decide!]

Third Brother Yu Zhimou: [Don't worry, little sister. Leave it to me.]

Fourth Brother Ling You: [Someone dares provoke us? They're tired of living!]

Fifth Brother Xiao Shen: [Don't panic, little sister. I'll bring the legal team right away.]

Sixth Brother Si Wuduan: [Don't be afraid, little sister. We'll handle it. I'll have my fan club drown them in spit!]

Seventh Brother Mu Rufeng: [Address.]

Seeing all her senior brothers mobilize, Shen Chutang was very satisfied. [Calm down, everyone. I don't want too much commotion—just pressure them a little.]

The seven brothers replied in unison: [Understood.]

Soon, the real show would begin!
