Chapter 89 I am her witness
He secretly mocked Jiang Liwu's foolishness and gullibility, realizing that she had actually been fooled by her.
She had recovered some strength by then, but it was still difficult for her to get up.
She really had a tough time today, what bad luck.
“If there’s nothing else, then I’ll go first…” Tian Zhixia turned to leave, but saw several police officers walking quickly toward her. Her eyes widened in shock, her face filled with panic, and she couldn’t remain calm at all. “You’re playing me?!” The feeling of being played made Tian Zhixia feel like a mouse, and Jiang Liwu was a cat that could have easily given her a blow but instead chose to fool her and watch her perform.
Tian Zhixia was furious, her previous pitiful and miserable demeanor completely gone.
It wasn't Jiang Liwu who called the police; she hadn't had time to dial yet, as she was busy arresting Tian Zhixia.
Tian Zhixia clenched her fists; she knew she couldn't escape.
However, the police officer bypassed her and went directly to Jiang Liwu, showing her his ID. "Miss, please come with us."
A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Liwu's face. "Me?"
Seeing her apparent doubt, the police officer quickly took out his phone, pulled up several photos, and showed them to Jiang Liwu. "Yan Wenyu's agent, Xiang Rui, reported you for theft. Bring out the items you stole."
The person in the photo is undoubtedly Jiang Liwu's face, while the last photo is of a small wooden carving.
Jiang Liwu recalled that Xiang Rui had slapped her face last time and was convinced that she was the paparazzi and stalker he was looking for.
There was a moment of silence, mainly because it was such a coincidence, but I didn't expect this mess to continue.
She took out the small wooden carving, and it was indeed on her.
This action, in turn, made the police officers even more certain that they had not found the wrong person.
Jiang Liwu: "..."
At this moment, Tian Zhixia was relieved. Fortunately, the small wooden carving had been taken away by Jiang Liwu. She never expected such a reversal. Although she didn't know how Yan Wenyu and Xiang Rui had identified her as Jiang Liwu, she was happy to see this happen.
Tian Zhixia's eyes were full of smugness and provocation. She covered her mouth as if in disbelief, "I didn't expect that someone who looks like a celebrity could do such a thing. You can't judge a book by its cover. Officers, please arrest her."
Upon hearing her voice, the officer frowned but ignored her.
They will issue a warning if Tian Zhixia does anything that obstructs official business.
Xiang Rui was extremely anxious. After obtaining the small wooden carving, the police officer recorded a video on his phone and sent it over.
Upon hearing the news, Xiang Rui immediately burst open Yan Wenyu's tightly closed door.
He saw Yan Wenyu, whose obsession with cleanliness was the most severe, standing barefoot in a disheveled and frantic state amidst a mess of dirt and filth.
Both hands were still bleeding.
Xiang Rui's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Brother Yu!"
"Brother Yu, we've caught the man and recovered the items. Is this the one?"
Yan Wenyu suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with a fierce, uncontrollable red hatred for everything in the world. After hearing Xiang Rui's words, he snatched the phone.
He didn't miss a single detail of the small wooden carving in the video; it was indeed the small wooden carving his stepmother had given him, which he had carried with him for the past twenty years.
But Yan Wenyu still couldn't calm down, because the things hadn't been returned to him, and his stepmother hadn't returned to his side either.
He chewed and shouted words from his throat like a monster from the abyss chewing on flesh and blood, greedy, ferocious, thirsty, bloody and insane: "My wood carving."
"Brother Yu, I'll have them send it over right away."
Other officers took the wood carving and delivered it to the hotel where Yan Wenyu was staying.
Tian Zhixia was about to escape, but soon she found herself unable to leave and could no longer laugh.
Because she forgot about someone else.
Shang Tingyan calmly stated the facts, "The one who stole the items was someone else. Jiang Liwu was acting bravely and righteously. I am her witness." He looked at Jiang Liwu as he spoke the last few words, his deep and handsome face radiating a serious and charming aura.
Jiang Liwu caught his eye and noticed the comforting emotion in his gaze.
Tian Zhixia's expression changed drastically. Instinctively, she still wanted to run away because her hands were tied behind her back and her silver bracelets were fastened if she didn't cooperate.
"Take them together."
In the police car, Jiang Liwu and Shang Tingyan sat close together in the middle of the back seat.
Xiang Rui identified her as the person, so the police officers still handcuffed her. Jiang Liwu did not resist at all and even voluntarily closed her hands.
Her open and honest demeanor, in contrast to Tian Zhixia's guilty conscience, gave the police officer a clue. So when he was handcuffing Jiang Liwu, the officer specifically said, "If it's a misunderstanding, it will be fine soon after we find out."
He saw that Jiang Liwu was only twenty years old, still in college, and a young girl. He was sure she would be a little panicked and scared in this situation.
Jiang Liwu, however, remained calm and even adjusted her posture, closing her eyes and pretending to doze off.
The car became very quiet, but a dark current was surging in Shang Tingyan's eyes. His gaze fell on Jiang Liwu's jade-white, slender, and exquisitely shaped hands. The bracelet was fastened to her snow-white wrist, leaving a light pink mark.
The prominent Adam's apple was sexy, and it stirred subtly, as if the person was lost in thought.
……
The police quickly investigated and found that Jiang Liwu's situation was indeed a misunderstanding. They were afraid that those who dared to stand up for justice would be disheartened. They highly commended Jiang Liwu and reminded her to keep evidence in order to avoid being misunderstood when doing good deeds.
Tian Zhixia was detained and fined for her excessive and illegal behavior as a paparazzi and stalker.
In addition to the items in the bag, the police also found a camera containing all the photos Yan Wenyu had secretly taken. These were all physical evidence of Tian Zhixia's illegal activities.
When verifying her identity, Tian Zhixia used a different ID card. She was 25 years old, which was about the same age Jiang Liwu had guessed at first glance.
She is not Tian Youtian at all, but Tian Youtian is her younger sister, which is why the two look so alike.
When asked why Tian Youtian's ID card was with her, she insisted that she had accidentally taken the wrong ID card and hadn't had time to return it to Tian Youtian.
I absolutely did not use Tian Youtian's ID card to do anything illegal.
When her lie was exposed, Tian Zhixia remained confident because she was right about not having any brothers, but she didn't say she didn't have any sisters.
As for being orphaned, Tian Zhixia couldn't explain it because her parents were still alive.
It's unknown how many times she claimed to have lost both parents in order to gain sympathy and use moral blackmail to extricate herself from the situation.
It must be said that filial piety truly breeds strength.
When she was imprisoned, Tian Zhixia gave Jiang Liwu one last look, filled with resentment, but deep down she still felt lucky because her secret had not been exposed.
The process was quick, but it was still late at night when Jiang Liwu and Shang Tingyan walked out of the police station side by side.
