Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 355: How Could There Be Nothing?!
Though the commotion was quite loud, the Disciplinary Office officers reluctantly pulled their hands back, feeling cautious. Each of them glared fiercely at Su Xiaoxiao.
"Don’t think that causing such a scene will help you get away."
"I don’t intend to run, but you can go to the police station and find a female officer, then arrange a private room for a search," Su Xiaoxiao said calmly. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
In this era, there wasn’t any concept of "no right to search" or having to find a lawyer like in later times. Once you’re accused of something, if you don’t clear your name today, you’ll be in trouble for a long time.
Even if they were to release Su Xiaoxiao today, she would make sure they found a female officer to search thoroughly. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain later.
The officers of the Disciplinary Office glared fiercely at Su Xiaoxiao, but eventually agreed to her suggestion.
"Go to the police station and get a few female officers over here," the leader instructed one of his subordinates.
The subordinate nodded and immediately ran out.
Hearing the quiet discussions from the surrounding crowd, Gui Zhenzhen looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a pleading expression.
"Xiaoxiao, if you really have contraband, you’d better take it out now. Confessing early is better than resisting. If you turn it in yourself, it’ll be better than them finding it."
"Who said I was hiding anything?" Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head, smiling slyly as she looked at Gui Zhenzhen.
Gui Zhenzhen’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale.
When nothing was found in Su Xiaoxiao’s bag earlier, she had a sinking feeling that she was done for. After all, it was her who had personally placed the gold bar in Su Xiaoxiao’s bag.
During the brief moment when she had turned away to get food, when could Su Xiaoxiao have hidden the gold bar?
If the gold bar was really gone, would the person who gave it to her make her compensate for it?
And what would happen to her now that she hadn’t managed to frame Su Xiaoxiao?
"Xiaoxiao, your family loves you, and your partner loves you too. Even if you made a mistake, they wouldn’t get angry or break ties with you. But we’re different; we’re already married, and in arranged marriages at that. If something happens to us, we won’t be able to survive. Please, out of pity for us, admit it!" Gui Zhenzhen, teary-eyed and choking on her words, pleaded.
Now, even without Su Xiaoxiao saying anything, Ji Yujing and Ding Xuechun noticed something strange.
"Gui Zhenzhen, what’s going on with you today? Why should we admit to something we didn’t do?"
Gui Zhenzhen’s face twisted in anger as she glared at them furiously.
"Are you two idiots? If Xiaoxiao really didn’t do anything, why would someone report us? And why would the Disciplinary Office officers go straight to check Xiaoxiao’s bag? Aren’t you worried about being implicated by standing by her side right now?"
"Implicated by what? I trust that Xiaoxiao would never do something like this!" Ji Yujing retorted stubbornly.
If Xiaoxiao was really carrying any contraband, she wouldn’t have advised her not to take that collection of essays earlier.
Someone who was even worried about keeping something at home for fear of causing trouble wouldn’t be wandering around with contraband.
"Enough! Stop arguing!" One of the Disciplinary Office officers growled impatiently, silencing them.
Gui Zhenzhen withdrew her gaze, but when she saw Su Xiaoxiao smiling faintly, seemingly having figured out everything, a cold chill ran down her spine.
Could Su Xiaoxiao have really realized what she had done and hidden the gold bar ahead of time?
No! That was impossible!
The person had deliberately given her a 500-gram gold bar, fearing it would be too small to hide or easily dispose of.
Even if it were thrown to the ground, it would make a heavy sound.
Before long, a few female officers arrived.
After coordinating with the Disciplinary Office officers, they borrowed a small office from the state-owned restaurant to conduct individual searches of Su Xiaoxiao and the others.
After the search, they returned and shook their heads at the Disciplinary Office officers.
"Nothing? How could there be nothing!"
Gui Zhenzhen gasped in shock.
By now, even the most clueless people could see that this whole report was her doing.
Everyone started looking at her with disdain.
Su Xiaoxiao ignored her and instead looked at the Disciplinary Office officers with an innocent smile.
"Comrades, since you’ve confirmed we’re clean, can we continue with our meal?"
The officers twitched at the corners of their mouths.
Was something wrong with her head?
Who would still have the appetite to eat after going through something like this?
Despite their inner complaints, the Disciplinary Office officers could only grit their teeth and nod reluctantly.
"Fine, go ahead and continue eating."
After saying this, they turned to leave.
Gui Zhenzhen, in a panic, tried to call them back, but Su Xiaoxiao grabbed her arm and forcefully pinned her down in her seat.
"Are you trying to run now? Or are you upset that you didn’t manage to frame me and want to call them back to continue trying?" Su Xiaoxiao asked, her voice low and menacing.
Gui Zhenzhen snapped back to reality and quickly denied it. "Xiaoxiao, I didn’t..."
