With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

"Zhou Yun, did you take my mother's things?" Azhen interrupted Zhou Yun's sobbing.

These words alone turned Zhou Yun's face pale, her lips trembled, and she was speechless for a moment.

Zhou Yun felt as if she were about to enter prison. Unlike the maid and the florist, she took the jewelry because she wanted to wear it; she really liked it, but of course, she could only wear it secretly, even thinking of keeping it as a family heirloom. After all, those pieces of jewelry were quite valuable, worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.

The maid and the gardener sold off a lot of their belongings and spent the money. If they returned everything, even if A-Lun held a grudge, their sentences would be reduced. Now that A-Lun is not only holding a grudge, but they also can't return the items, they can only wait to go to jail.

"Let's call the police and let them handle this," Shen Muyang suggested to Azhen. "Even if she doesn't admit it, once those two people have interrogated her and found out how much of the items were missing, they'll still send someone over to reinvestigate."

Zhou Yun was terrified and shouted no, saying that she hadn't sold those things, but just liked them and took them back to her room to admire them, and would return them immediately.

When Zhou Yun met Azhen's gaze again, she no longer felt that this 16-year-old girl could be manipulated.

The beautiful dream I had been cherishing was shattered at that moment.

She used to dream that once her son won over Qiao Zhen, all of He Sihua's priceless jewels would be hers. In fact, once Qiao Zhen married her son, the entire Qiao family would belong to her.

The dream shattered too quickly.

Azhen, however, did not comply with her wishes and called the police.

Zhou Yun's expression changed again: "Miss, you can't be so ruthless."

“My husband and I have worked for the Qiao family for so many years. Even if we haven’t made any great contributions, we have certainly put in a lot of hard work. Aren’t you afraid that people will become alienated from you in the future if you treat them like this? Aren’t you afraid that no one will work for you anymore?”

Azhen glanced at her and said indifferently, "The basic salary for ordinary maids in my Qiao family is 10,000, not including other bonuses and benefits, and even insurance. I think there would be many people vying for such a job. This is not the old days. Employees just need to do their job and get paid. If they betray their employer or do anything wrong, they will be dealt with accordingly."

"Shao Bao earns over a million a year. With so much money, he still schemes against his employer. Does he deserve this salary? He has worked hard and made great contributions. I think the salary and benefits paid to him by the Qiao family are more than enough. But you are greedy and want to take over the entire Qiao family's assets. That's what makes you heartless and ungrateful."

"Who's being so ruthless? You all think I'm an easy target because I'm a 16-year-old orphan, and that's why you dare to scheme like this. I just called the police because you made a mistake, which is just a normal procedure, and you think that's so ruthless? Who's really being so ruthless? Installing a recorder on my door lock and a pinhole camera in my room, scaring people in the middle of the night. Anyone with a weak heart would probably be driven insane by the fear."

“If Grandpa hadn’t made arrangements in advance, you might have taken some extreme measures.”

"Stop flattering yourself."

After hearing these words, Zhou Yun knew there was no way to salvage the situation.

Even if she returns the items, the amount involved is large, and she cannot gain Qiao Zhen's forgiveness. She doesn't know what she will face.

Zhou Yun was on the verge of a breakdown.

[This is truly gratifying!]

Fortunately, the female lead wasn't deceived by Zhou Yun's pretense.

[It's worth mentioning that in the original novel, the female lead was completely manipulated by the butler's family.]

[Zhou Yun and Shao Baocheng are extremely wicked; they even planned to get the female lead pregnant with Shao Yifan's child and added drugs to her milk.]

Fortunately, due to some unexpected events, Shao Baocheng's family never succeeded; otherwise, the thought of her getting pregnant while still in high school is terrifying.

[At least she's the female lead, so she has some luck. After all, this is a novel with a happy ending. There are some hardships along the way, but the female lead won't have relationships with other men or have a child.]

Shao Yifan had just finished packing her luggage when she suddenly remembered that Zhou Yun would be coming back today, so she quickly dialed Zhou Yun's number.

Zhou Yun was about to answer, but the police arrived at that moment.

After Ah-Zhuang briefly explained what had happened, Zhou Yun was taken by the police officers to her residence to retrieve the jewelry she had taken.

Shao Yifan was wondering why Zhou Yun wasn't answering her phone, but seeing this scene, he looked a little flustered.

He quickly found out what had happened. He wasn't surprised; he had seen his mother wearing expensive jewelry before. But he didn't care. In his mind, the Qiao family would belong to them sooner or later, so what was wrong with her wearing some jewelry?
Because of this realization, and because she hadn't witnessed the gardener and maid being arrested that morning, she momentarily forgot that the jewelry didn't belong to Zhou Yun, and that if it were discovered, she might be in trouble.

Under Shao Yifan's numb gaze, the police officers counted five pieces of jewelry worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars and confirmed them with A-Zhu.

Zhou Yun was then taken away.

The client's return was too short. The old man's arrangements only focused on major assets. He Sihua's personal jewelry and accessories were small change to the Qiao family. They were simply recorded but not taken into account.

Suddenly returning to this empty home, the client has so much to deal with that he doesn't have time to check every day to see if He Sihua's jewelry is missing.

Watching Zhou Yun being taken away, Shao Yifan's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.

Moreover, he really couldn't stay in this place any longer; he was afraid of encountering the ghost wall again.

Soon after, he also hurriedly took a taxi to the hotel with several suitcases.

Because he had a butler father, he wasn't short of money at all, and staying in hotels was a breeze for him. Zhou Yun's situation wasn't as good, but he was certain that Shao Baocheng would be released soon, and then they could move to another place.

We can't stay in this city any longer.

Just now, he received some private messages, all inquiring about his family.

He definitely can't go to school. We'll just have to wait for his dad to come out so we can transfer him to another school. He should take a few days off.

Shao Yifan desperately wanted to go back to the day before yesterday and stop what happened last night, so that his family could still live peacefully.

That night, at the hotel.

Shao Yifan was half asleep when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

They asked who it was, but no one answered.

He flung open the door, but no one was there. He slammed the door shut in terror. He called the hotel reception and learned that no one had knocked. He nearly fainted.

Tonight, Azhen is still staying at the Shen family's house.

She went to bed early, looking like she was tired.

In fact, she was perfectly awake. Just now, Chen Qing had come over and knocked on the door to ask if she was asleep.

Although Chen Qing couldn't see it and there were no surveillance cameras in the room, she still kept her eyes closed.

The butler issue is resolved; now it's time for a new storyline.

In addition, the actors she hired should also be on stage.

Before this, she had already used her financial power to settle Rongyu and his grandmother in a good manner. Today, Rongyu was still asking when it would be his turn to help.

Having clearly received a generous reward but not being able to do anything for him, Rong Yu felt somewhat uneasy.

The Shen family's study was bustling with activity, as all the Shen family members were there.

“She is indeed asleep,” Chen Qing said.

Shen Muyang suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Mom and Dad, brother, do you know what I discovered today?"

He had been keeping this to himself for a whole day, and was finally able to share it with his family.

Shen Muzhi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be? (End of Chapter)
