Unfortunately, she didn't appreciate it.

When the police arrived, they showed them the surveillance footage.

Yan Xu, the young guest, and Aunt Chen, who was suspected, were all taken to the police station to give statements.

Because there were no security cameras inside the room, the police could only investigate during the half hour he was out.

Reviewing the street surveillance footage revealed that the customer had returned to the shop where he bought the watch. When the police called to inquire, they learned that he had already returned it.

Oh......

What a clever scheme to extort money from people.

If Yan Xu doesn't call the police.

If Yan Xu hadn't insisted on finding the watch, but instead offered compensation under public pressure, the man would have gotten 20,000 yuan for nothing.

How fast to make money.

Book a guesthouse for a little over 400 yuan, and earn 20,000 yuan in three hours.

Exorbitant profits.

The police officer yelled, "You've already returned the watch, and you're still framing someone for stealing your things!"

The young customer said regretfully, "I won't do it again next time. This was the first time I did it, and I will definitely change my ways in the future."

These three phrases sound so familiar. Aren't these the catchphrases that scumbags in TV dramas often say?

Yan Xu slowly said, "We can settle this privately, but your behavior has put a lot of pressure on my staff. You need to pay them compensation for their emotional distress and publicly apologize in front of all the guests at Zhenyunxuan."

This would both improve the mood of Aunt Chen, Xiao Tong, and Yan Zheng, and silence the gossip of the other guests.

The young man, not wanting to be detained, had no choice but to agree.

An incident caused by greed was resolved by Yan Xu with a firm attitude.

When Aunt Chen left the police station, her legs were weak, and she still felt wronged despite receiving compensation.

Yan Xu stepped forward and hugged Aunt Chen: "Well done, Aunt Chen, you've overcome another hurdle."

Aunt Chen, who was usually gentle and mild-mannered, lit up instantly upon hearing this: "Yes, another hurdle has been overcome."

This was the first time she had ever received praise from someone.

In the past, people would only say that she was useless and that she couldn't do anything right.

Aunt Chen expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Yan Xu: "You can call me anytime you need anything in the future."

Kindness between people is simple and pure.

......

At night.

Late summer in Yunzhao County is so cool that you need to wear a jacket.

Yan Xu sat on the sofa at home, with a thin blanket draped over her shoulders.

She checked the time; it was already past ten o'clock, and there was still no news from Shen Yi.

Why did he leave so suddenly? There was no news or phone call. He just vanished like those other tourists who came to join the fun.

Was he afraid that if something really happened to Zhenyunxuan, it would affect him?

He had previously said that if Yan Xu got into trouble, his reputation as her legal husband would also be damaged.

At this moment, Yan Xu was in a state of utter confusion.

Yan Xu opened her social media app to message Shen Yi, wanting to ask if he was coming back tonight.

But I feel it's not good to take the initiative to contact him.

Their relationship wasn't one where they could just send each other messages freely.

After thinking about it, I finally put down my phone, wrapped myself in a thin blanket, and went back to my room to sleep.

On the other side, at the Shen Family Manor.

Shen Yi was restricted from personal freedom the moment he stepped into the door after rushing home.

Three or four bodyguards tied him up and took his phone.

Shen Yi's hands were still tied behind his back, and he couldn't do anything while sitting on the sofa, like a puppet on strings.

His chest heaved with rage: "Untie me right now! Unless you tie me up for life, I'll still run away!"

Dressed in Hanfu, Mother Shen sat upright in the seat of honor, looking in the mirror, and said slowly, "Run away? Even if you want to run away, you have to marry Su Xiao first."

It's another arranged marriage. If I weren't afraid they would cause trouble for Yan Xu, I would have thrown the marriage certificate in front of them.

Shen Yi decided to negotiate with them: "We know Su Xiao well, she's a good girl, but I'm not a good man! Everyone knows that the eldest son of the Shen family is a spoiled brat who never goes home."

He pleaded earnestly, "Mom... since you like Su Xiao, how can you let her live like she's in a wolf's den? Aren't you just hurting her?"

Shen's mother snorted coldly: "No one knows a son better than his mother. No matter what you say, I'll still help you get married at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Dad!" Shen Yi was at his wit's end. "Please help me persuade her!"

Mr. Shen, who had been sitting to the side as if he wasn't there, coughed twice and said, "Ahem, how about we let it go? You can't force things."

Shen Yi nodded vigorously: "Exactly!"

A single glance from Mrs. Shen was enough to shut Mr. Shen up immediately: "Never mind what I said."

"..."

Shen Yi looked down on him.

怂！

It's a disgrace to men.

Throughout the rest of the night, no one heard Shen Yi's loud cries for help.

He tried to get a knife from the kitchen to untie the ropes, only to find that all the scissors and knives in the manor had been taken away.

Shen Yi gritted his teeth: "Do we have to be so ruthless?"

He glanced at the porcelain vase in the living room worth hundreds of millions, a sly glint in his eyes: "You forced me to do this, don't blame me for being ruthless."

He walked over and bumped into the vase with his body, shattering it completely on the ground.

However, a loud "bang" attracted the attention of the servants and housekeeper on the first floor.

The sound of their footsteps grew closer.

Shen Yi carefully crouched down, picked up a piece of shard, and cut the rope.

In the blink of an eye, just as everyone was about to grab him, Shen Yi's restraints were removed, and he sprinted to the underground parking garage at top speed.

He rolled down the car window and said to the butler, "Go back and tell my mother, she'll never be able to stop me."

Shen Yi has never been an easy person to deal with. As long as he doesn't break the law, he'll do whatever he wants. The industry's assessment of him is: Never mess with Shen Yi, because he's a wild wolf.

It bites anyone it sees.

He would become obedient and docile in front of Yan Xu.

Unfortunately, she didn't appreciate it...
