Chapter 60: Causing Trouble

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The police officer in the lead showed his ID in a businesslike manner. “Hello, we’re from the Public Security Branch of B City’s Public Security Bureau. May I ask if there’s a person called Lu Haiqiao here?”

Perhaps because she had never seen such a big scene, Fang Chuoqi blinked in confusion. “Yes, yes…”

Upon hearing her name, Lu Haiqiao stood up. “I’m Lu Haiqiao. Is there anything I can help you with?”

The police walked past Fang Chuoqi and strode up to her. He said sternly, “Lu Haiqiao, you’re suspected of being involved in a case of intentional assault.

Come with us now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the office instantly erupted.

“Intentionally hurt someone? No way, Lu Haiqiao? She doesn’t even dare to step on ants, yet she hurts someone?”

“You don’t understand. As the saying goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover.

How do you know that she’s not a female wolf in sheep’s clothing?”

“I think it’s hard to say. Let me tell you, a few days ago, I saw a green sports car sending Lu Haiqiao to work. This morning, it changed to a black one. To be able to find so many cars to pick her up, she must not be a good person.”

“That’s right. Perhaps they didn’t agree on the price, so she fought in a fit of anger. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Think about that scene. It’s even more exciting than a television drama!”

Just as the other colleagues were whispering, Fang Chuoqi changed her attitude toward Lu Haiqiao. She didn’t say anything for a long time.

She frowned and looked at Lu Haiqiao, but the latter remained calm and natural as if the words “intentional injury” had nothing to do with her.

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

She neither admitted nor denied it.

Due to her cooperation, the police didn’t use coercive measures. Instead, they brought Lu Haiqiao out of the magazine agency as if she was assisting in investigations.

In the sealed interrogation room, only a table lamp emitted a blinding white light.

Lu Haiqiao leaned against the chair calmly. Opposite her was a young police officer who was taking notes.

“Name, age, and profession.” The police officer’s tone was businesslike. Even so, the moment he saw Lu Haiqiao, he didn’t believe that such a docile-looking girl would do something like “intentional injury.”

However, the person who reported the case claimed that there were both

witnesses and evidence, and he went straight to the director through his

connections in D City.

The higher-ups were exerting pressure, so he had to take it seriously.

“Lu Haiqiao, 24 years old, a reporter.” Lu Haiqiao’s tone was indifferent. Ordinary people would have been anxious when they encountered such a situation, but her reaction was unbelievably calm.

Could it be that the matter really had nothing to do with her?

Even so, she would at least show panic.

The young police officer couldn’t help but look at her again.

She didn’t seem to be pretending.

“Do you know a man named Pan Ning?” The young officer continued his interrogation.

Hearing this, Lu Haiqiao narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

As expected, it was him who was causing trouble.

“We’ve met,” she said.

Did that mean that they knew each other?

“Then were you at the South Sand Bay Resort between nine and ten last night?” the police officer asked again.

Lu Haiqiao nodded without thinking. “Yes.”

The police officer immediately came to a conclusion. “Then you admit to assaulting someone?”

Lu Haiqiao ran her fingers through her long hair and crossed her legs in satisfaction. “I didn’t touch him.’

She really didn’t do it. The steak knife did.

“You didn’t touch him? Then where did the injury on the person’s face come from?” the police officer asked..
