Side Character Transmigrations: The Final Boss is No Joke

Chapter 863: Scam Artists are Not Cute! (31)

“Take her in,” Captain Hong ordered, his face dark with frustration.

‘If she keeps talking, the police station won’t get any work done today.’

Shi Sheng immediately raised her voice, activating her crowd-control skills. “I see dark auras around you all. Beware of impending bloodshed!”

Captain Hong: “!!!”

‘Where’s my gun?!’

Two officers quickly escorted Shi Sheng to the interrogation room.

As soon as Shi Sheng left, the other officers gathered around. “Captain, is this Bu Meng some kind of jinx? Every time she shows up, we get unlucky…”

“Isn’t she the disciple of that famous master? It’s all over the internet. Could she really know some Taoist magic?” Ever since this girl had visited the police station a few times, even those who didn’t use Weibo knew about her online reputation.

Verified as the ‘First Divine Trickster in China’—how did she even get that certification?

“Captain, what did she do this time? We didn’t get any reports. Why did you bring her back again?”

Captain Hong was furious. ‘Do they think I wanted this?’

He shot a cold glare at the crowd. “Have you all finished your work? Are you that free?”

Everyone: “…”

‘The captain ate some dynamite?’

‘Every time Bu Meng this scammer shows up, Captain Hong acts like he’s about to explode. Get back to work, get back to work! Don’t provoke him.’

The crowd dispersed quickly.

“Ow… Who the hell left a banana peel at the door? Have some decency!”

An eerie silence fell over the police station.

Xia Ling arrived at the station with a lawyer. There was no direct evidence against Shi Sheng, so the police couldn’t prevent them from meeting.

“How did you get yourself into trouble again?” Xia Ling asked, exasperated. “I brought you some food, eat first.”

Shi Sheng smiled sweetly at Xia Ling. “You’re the best. Those outside only gave me two buns.”

The officers monitoring the situation: “…”

‘Captain Hong, hurry up, this scammer is slandering us again!’

‘What buns are you talking about?’

‘We clearly bought her a boxed meal; this little girl is lying through her teeth!’

“How’s the Anshi Enterprises situation?” Shi Sheng asked between bites, completely unconcerned about the officers watching her.

“During the signing…” Xia Ling paused, his eyes flickering. “There shouldn’t be any issues now.”

Anshi Enterprises was set to sign with the Yin family but something happened at the last minute, halting the signing.

He hadn’t realized this incident was also related to her.

‘Why can’t she just peacefully be my girlfriend?’

Xia Ling didn’t press for details here at the police station. She seemed confident, but if the police found any evidence, getting her out would be difficult.

After dinner, the lawyer began his work, but his expression was baffled after hearing Shi Sheng’s story.

“Miss Bu, you witnessed the deceased committing suicide?” This was the strangest thing he’d heard all year. ‘Why would a normal person kill themselves in front of others? They must be insane!!’

“Yes.”

The lawyer: “…”

He swallowed, cleared his throat, and said, “According to Miss Bu, you didn’t approach the car, and the coroner’s report confirms suicide. This matter has little to do with you. The issue is the missing surveillance footage from the garage.”

If the footage existed, the situation would be clear.

“Since there’s no direct evidence, can I bail her out?” Xia Ling asked.

The lawyer nodded. “Yes.”

Without evidence, the police couldn’t detain her.

“Get her bailed out first.” Xia Ling felt uneasy keeping her here.

The lawyer went to arrange bail, while Xia Ling stayed with Shi Sheng. The lawyer was efficient, but Captain Hong, after some negotiation, insisted Shi Sheng stay in the station for twenty-four hours before release.

Captain Hong and his team worked overtime.

But aside from the mysteriously deleted footage, there was no evidence implicating Shi Sheng.

Since she hadn’t committed the murder, finding evidence against her was impossible.

After twenty-four hours, Xia Ling took Shi Sheng out.

Captain Hong could only watch helplessly.

Once outside the police station, Xia Ling’s face darkened. “What happened? Explain.”

Shi Sheng looked innocent. “I told the truth at the police station.”

‘I^(bbb) didn’t lie, okay?’

‘This retard doesn’t trust me^(bbb)!’

‘Wanna break up!’

Xia Ling didn’t distrust Shi Sheng; he felt she was hiding something.

What she said at the station sounded like nonsense. ‘Who commits suicide in front of others for no reason?’

Xia Ling leaned towards her, pressing her into the car window corner. “Xiao’guai, I’ve been too lenient with you.”

‘Doing such things without even telling me.’

‘What if something went wrong?’

Shi Sheng rolled her eyes and pushed Xia Ling onto the adjacent seat, half her body pressing down on him.

Domineering CEO Sheng activated! “I’ve been too lenient with you, letting you talk to me like this, huh?”

Xia Ling’s eyes deepened as he wrapped his arms around her waist. “Xiao’guai, don’t provoke me.”

‘We’re in the car, with a driver up front.’

He feared he couldn’t control himself here.

Shi Sheng sneered. “Is that all your self-control?”

“My self-control only fails with you.” Xia Ling’s hand roamed her waist. “You’re the most important person to me. Don’t make me worry.”

Shi Sheng was silent for a few seconds. “Didn’t I tell you someone was plotting against us? Remember the sudden tune you played at school?”

Xia Ling was surprised Shi Sheng brought up something so serious. He adjusted his posture to make her more comfortable in his arms.

“I tracked him down today, intending to deal with him, but he killed himself first.”

Xia Ling frowned.

“It wasn’t An Chen?”

“An Chen?” Shi Sheng looked puzzled, “…You thought it was him?”

Xia Ling: “…”

‘Wasn’t it?’ All his findings pointed to An Chen, including the earlier explosion. All evidence implicated An Chen.

Shi Sheng’s eyes flickered. “He was probably used.”

Mu Bai would exploit anyone.

He was the kind of person who wouldn’t even blink before committing suicide.

Shi Sheng and Xia Ling were investigating different angles. Xia Ling was misled by Mu Bai’s smoke screens, but Shi Sheng never played by the rules and couldn’t be fooled.

Xia Ling never imagined trying to protect his girlfriend would lead to this.

“So, just let me spoil you,” Shi Sheng patted Xia Ling’s hand. “I’m very capable, I won’t embarrass you.”

“…What grudge do you have with him?” Xia Ling grabbed Shi Sheng’s hand. “Why would he commit suicide?”

Shi Sheng: “…” ‘Why is this coming up again?’

‘Are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?’

Shi Sheng made up a story. “A grudge from a past life. Who knows why he killed himself? Maybe he was mesmerized by my beauty.”

Xia Ling: “…” ‘Could you be any more dismissive?’

Shi Sheng wasn’t lying, though. She and Mu Bai had a grudge from a past life. Explaining it would be complicated. She’d wait until he regained his memories.
