Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 344: Get Lost! Don’t Push Your Luck!

Of course! How could a malevolent spirit be afraid?

Now that she was in Su Yijia’s body, once Su Yijia was out of the picture, it was easy to find a new body. This way, she would always have the upper hand, with no way for Su Yijia, who had ruined her family, to counter her.

Su Xinyue glared fiercely and slowly approached Su Yijia.

"Comrade Lv Jingyi, don’t you think you should explain this to us?" Su Yijia raised an eyebrow and coldly questioned.

Lv Jingyi remained indifferent, "Last night, the city received a report about this incident. It is an extremely serious case. If it hadn’t been discovered in time, everyone in that apartment building could have been in danger. The city sent me to assist in monitoring and handling the case."

The residents of the apartment building were indeed fortunate. They had someone who managed to accidentally discover the fire in the dead of night. Otherwise, it would have been an extremely serious incident.

If Qin Kaize got involved, there would be at least two people behind the scenes hoping to make something of it--whether it was Xia Weiguo or Ke Zeming. Having leverage over either of them would be advantageous.

For now, it was still manageable. As long as they could pin this on Qin Kaize, that was sufficient. The more people involved, the more pressure would be applied to resolve the case quickly. As of now, it was just a family dispute with Qin Mingchen, so any excuse to delay would do. They would need concrete evidence before taking anyone away, which was understandable.

"Ah, so what evidence do you have proving that we are responsible? Witnesses? Physical evidence? You say Gao Huabin and Zhu Zirui would cover for us, but is there any law that says friends who are renting a place cannot be witnesses? You may not believe them, but legally their testimony is valid," Su Yijia said, sitting on the sofa with an air of triumph.

"But you just returned yesterday, had a dispute with Qin Mingchen during the day, and then he had an incident that night," one of the police officers reminded them. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Qin Kaize sat down beside Su Yijia. He looked up with a sharp gaze, "If you had done your investigation, you would know my previous background and where I came from. Although that doesn’t guarantee I’m a good person, it at least shows I’m not impulsive and foolish. If I were to take action against someone, I certainly wouldn’t choose a time when suspicion is at its highest."

The police officers fell silent. Honestly, they found it hard to believe that someone like Qin Kaize could be involved in such an act.

"Regardless, please cooperate with the investigation," the police officer said with a forced tone.

Qin Kaize nodded, "Alright, do you need to take fingerprints or check our clothes for any traces from the scene?"

"......"

The police officers exchanged glances. Su Xinyue, fearing that the situation would end without resolution, suddenly lost her temper and lunged at Su Yijia.

"At a time like this, you still refuse to admit anything! You owe me my husband!"

"Bang!" Qin Kaize didn’t wait for her to get close and kicked Su Xinyue away.

Lv Jingyi, though sympathetic, saw this as an opportunity to justify taking the couple into custody for questioning.

"Comrade Qin, it’s quite arrogant to assault your own sister-in-law in front of the police, isn’t it?" Lv Jingyi said coldly.

Su Yijia looked at him as if he had said something incredibly ridiculous. She pointed at the police officers and then at him, "Su Xinyue is standing behind you, and you allow her to bypass you and attack me and my husband. We acted in self-defense in response to your inaction and leniency. We haven’t even held you accountable yet, and you’re trying to shift the blame onto us?"

"No!" The police officers quickly denied it.

They hadn’t intervened because they lacked evidence to confirm who the real perpetrator was. They hoped the argument might reveal some crucial evidence. But the couple remained calm throughout.

"Whether or not you have evidence, if you don’t, then you should leave. If you truly want to arrest us, come back when you have solid proof," Su Yijia said, making a gesture as if to show them out.

The police officers were somewhat dejected. They certainly didn’t want this matter to be connected with the couple, but with no substantial progress in the case, they were unsure how to report back.

Lv Jingyi, standing aside, hadn’t expected to be brushed off so casually after making such a special trip.

"You still need to come with us for further questioning. Otherwise, I’ll be suspicious of why you’re so resistant," Lv Jingyi said, trying to calculate his next move.

He thought if he could detain them and buy some time, he could fabricate evidence. Plus, detaining them would create a sense of urgency outside.

"You can ask your questions here. If you have evidence, then take us away. If not, just leave and investigate elsewhere. Why would anyone want to be taken to the police station without evidence? If you’re so eager for us to go, I have to ask: if someone spreads false rumors about us, will you take responsibility?"

Su Yijia crossed her arms and glared at Lv Jingyi.

She wasn’t sure what Lv Jingyi’s true intentions were but sensed that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. Why should they have to go to the police station when they had done nothing wrong?

"I can take responsibility. If anyone spreads negative rumors about you, I’ll explain to them," Lv Jingyi promised earnestly.

"Humph, I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you. How can we know who might say bad things about us? If there are a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand people, can you explain them all? And don’t think your explanations matter much. What are you even worth? We’ve kept our cool for so long; do you think we’re easy to bully?"

Su Yijia’s expression suddenly changed from haughty to fiercely aggressive. It was as if she was a force of nature, making anyone want to flee.

Lv Jingyi’s eyes narrowed, his gaze dark and calculating.

Suddenly, he understood why Su Xinyue always seemed to suffer at the hands of her sister.
