"Has anything unusual happened before this?" Yun Qi asked gently.

"Hmm, no, something might have happened. I don't know, after all, I'm just an employee." Yun Qi's friendliness put Zhang Liuying at ease, and she thought carefully before answering.

Yun Qi didn't say anything more, listened to the other police officers questioning him for a while, and then left. The remaining two police officers continued to interrogate Zhang Liuying.

The police unanimously believe that Zhang Liuying is highly aware of counter-surveillance and is deliberately feigning madness to cover up her crimes.

Zhang Liuying herself was unaware of the police officer's thoughts. At first, she cooperated by answering various questions, but after being asked repeatedly, she didn't want to talk anymore because she really didn't know what to say.

What happened to Liu Youzhen?

How could she know? Not only did she not know, she also kept Liu Wenwen living and eating at her place, increasing her financial burden.

Her own life wasn't easy either; she married a lazy, good-for-nothing gambler! If it weren't for the difficulty of divorce these days, and the fact that she had a child to raise, she would have divorced Liu Jun long ago.

She wanted to give up raising Liu Wenwen, but couldn't bring herself to do it. Firstly, she couldn't bear to do it; most women with children can't stand seeing their children suffer.

Secondly, she was afraid people would say she was heartless. She now at least had shares in the company, even if they were few, they were still shares, so she had to maintain a good image.

Qin Yanlin missing?

He went out to work with Boss Deng and then disappeared. Boss Deng didn't even know, so how would she know?

About Deng Xiuzhen.

She only had that much information in her mind, and she had already answered it countless times.

But those people didn't believe her. They even said she went to Deng Xiuzhen's house to steal things, and that so many people saw her and she still ran away...

But she was clearly just looking for Deng Xiuzhen to see if she was home.

And then, at the police station...

Zhang Liuying had no recollection of going to Deng Xiuzhen's house on her own and ending up at the police station.

"Release her," Yun Qi ordered calmly.

"Captain, the evidence against her for trespassing and stealing is irrefutable!" Officer Zhang Dong exclaimed, puzzled.

"Do you think she has any connection to those cases?" Yun Qi asked without explaining.

"I can't say for sure, but something just doesn't feel right," Zhang Dong replied.

“This person is obviously a seasoned veteran. Interrogating her like this won’t yield any results. Instead of keeping her locked up, we should let her go back. You take some men to monitor her and see what she’s been up to,” Yun Qi said thoughtfully, tapping the table with his fingers.

"Captain, this is a long-term strategy to catch a big fish! That's brilliant! I'll go arrange it right away!" Zhang Dong's eyes lit up, and he turned and ran outside.

Zhang Liuying was released, but she was worried about her children at home and rushed home in a hurry.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Upon seeing Zhang Liuying, Liu Xiaobei called out and ran quickly to her side, hugging her leg and looking at her. Her face was streaked with tears, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.

Zhang Liuying knelt down and hugged Xiao Bei tenderly, gently coaxing, "Xiao Bei, don't cry, Mommy's here."

"Liu Ying! What's wrong with you? Why aren't you coming to pick up the kids?" The landlord was clearly angry.

"I'm so sorry, there's been a bit of a problem. I'm really sorry to have caused you so much trouble. Please forgive me!" Zhang Liuying apologized repeatedly with a smile.

"Pick the child up and take him away right now, he's giving me a headache!"

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you so much for your help." Zhang Liuying replied, and led Xiao Bei away.

Should I bring the child to the company tomorrow, or should I discuss it with Liu Jun?

As for the landlord, she probably won't agree to help her bring it tomorrow. The way she looked at me just now, she was furious.

After opening the door and entering the house, the mother and son took a shower, ate a bowl of noodles, and then Xiao Bei became drowsy.

Zhang Liuying lay down on the bed, intending to get a good night's sleep first, and deal with everything else tomorrow.

As soon as her head touched the pillow, she noticed something unusual. She lifted the pillow, and a rectangular folder appeared.

Upon opening it, Zhang Liuying was overjoyed: it was the company's transfer agreement! It bore Deng Xiuzhen's handwritten signature.

She recognized the handwriting; it was 80-90% Deng Xiuzhen's.

Will the company soon belong to me?

Happiness came so suddenly that Zhang Liuying was overwhelmed with joy.

Holding the contract, she read it over several times but found no problems.

Excitement completely dispelled her sleepiness. She got up to put the contract in the drawer.

The moment she pulled out the drawer, she thought of the police's questions, and the certain tone in their voice when they said she had stolen Deng Xiuzhen's things. She froze!

Did I really steal Deng Xiuzhen's things?

But I have absolutely no recollection of it!

Zhang Liuying was extremely irritable, feeling like her head was about to explode.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just hand the things over to the police...

wrong!

The police said I was discovered while I was still at Deng Xiuzhen's house, and was caught by a good Samaritan on my way back.

I wasn't even home, so there's no way I could have hidden anything there.

Furthermore, what's the deal with this contract? How could Deng Xiuzhen sign such a contract?

Someone harmed Qin Yanlin and Deng Xiuzhen and is trying to frame me!

Once she understood, Zhang Liuying broke out in a cold sweat, her heart pounding wildly like a drum.

Make a phone call! Call Liu Jun!

Zhang Liuying took out her phone and dialed her husband Liu Jun's number.

However, they were told that the other party's phone was switched off.

"Damn it! He keeps turning off his phone, it's like he's going to die..." Zhang Liuying cursed Liu Jun's ancestors for eighteen generations in her mind.

Looking at the contract, Zhang Liuying felt like she had fallen into a trap.

She wanted to tear up the contract, but she was reluctant and couldn't bring herself to do it: what if Boss Deng really wanted to transfer the company to her?

After much deliberation, Zhang Liuying glanced at Liu Xiaobei, who was already fast asleep, and tucked him in. She dozed off next to him, and then it was dawn.

"Ring ring, ring ring," the phone rang.

"Liu Ying, do you have any money on you? Hurry up and give it to me, I'm going to make up for my losses!" Liu Jun's voice came through as soon as the call connected.

"Money, money, money! You haven't brought a single penny home. I work this crappy job and don't even get two salaries. I have to rent a place and raise a kid. Where am I supposed to get the money?" Zhang Liuying roared.

"If it's not available, it's not available. Why are you calling?!" Liu Jun said, hanging up the phone.

Thinking about how unreliable her gambling husband was, she had no intention of discussing things with Liu Jun.

Hearing the dial tone from her phone, Zhang Liuying sighed.

When I got home, I sealed the contract in a plastic bag and put it in a box.

Zhang Liuying packed the box in an oilcloth bag and took the child out.

The police officer hidden in the shadows immediately reported: "Captain, Zhang Liuying didn't go out after returning home last night, but she's gone out now with her surname. Should we follow her?"

"Hurry up and follow her, whatever you do, don't let her see you!"

……

Zhang Liuying walked cautiously, observing as she went. She walked a long, winding road, and after confirming that no one was following her, she headed straight for the long-distance bus station.

After boarding the bus, she secretly observed the people who boarded later, and only after confirming that there were no suspicious individuals did she feel at ease and settle down.
