Chapter 93: Huh? Money?!

Chapter 93: Huh? Money?!

Su An's expression was truly striking, a mix of disbelief and a sense of "I knew it."

Everyone couldn't help but follow her gaze toward Cui Yuanfeng.

Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Cui Yuanfeng felt a twinge of guilt but quickly straightened her back, "What? I didn't say anything wrong! She's just exploiting the situation, slandering me!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Liu Shuanglu kept twitching his left eye at her.

Then, everyone turned their heads in unison, all eyes fixed on Liu Shuanglu.

Liu Shuanglu froze on the spot.

Seeing everyone staring at Liu Shuanglu, Cui Yuanfeng also inexplicably stared at him, her eyes filled with confusion.

Liu Shuanglu's eyelids twitched in anger.

Liang Yaohui's sharp eyes were fixed on Cui Yuanfeng's pocket, and he sternly reached out his hand, "Hand it over!"

The tone was so severe that Cui Yuanfeng didn't dare to resist, "Wh-what am I supposed to hand over..."

The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore, "Mrs. Cui, the police are already at your doorstep, and you're still being so dishonest!"

"Just take out whatever's in your pocket, now!"

"What pocket?" Cui Yuanfeng instinctively reached for her pocket and felt something rolled up inside.

She pulled it out and looked at it, her face lighting up with joy, "Huh? Money?!"

Then, as if remembering something, the joy quickly drained from her face, replaced by a look of terror, "Huh? Money?!"

"This... this is money?"

"Money?!"

Her voice grew louder and more panicked with each word.

By the end, her eyes were practically popping out of her head.

Liang Yaohui's face darkened, "We saw it; we know it's money!"

Cui Yuanfeng, as if holding something burning hot, trembled as she tossed the object in her hand up into the air, then quickly caught it and threw it into Liang Yaohui's arms.

She stammered, "Money... money... how did it... get into my pocket..."

"I... I'm being... framed..."

Su An sneered, "I also want to know how it ended up in your pocket!"

The onlookers were buzzing with excitement, "I want to know too!"

"Me too!"

"And me!"

"We all want to know!"

Zhang Manyu, thinking of her mother-in-law's favoritism toward her second son, Liu Guohua, was seething with anger.

She and Guojun had worked tirelessly for the family, and their own child had suffered so much. Yet, Da Bao’s grandma had secretly hidden so much money, clearly intending to secretly support the second son again!

Her face darkened, "Mom, I also want to know!"

Da Bao’s grandma, who had always been at odds with Cui Yuanfeng, quickly seized the opportunity to kick her while she was down.

"Why does she need to say anything? Anyone with eyes can see what's going on. She's hiding the money separately, some in the box, some on her person. No matter which end is found, she says it's not enough for six hundred. It's her own family's money, after all, and money in this world all looks the same, no one can tell the difference."

"If it weren't for someone remembering there was a small ticket inside, maybe it wouldn't be clear even now."

"Officer, quickly check if there's a fifty-cent note with tape on it, see if it matches what this girl said about two notes folded together with the same last digits!"

Liang Yaohui handed the money in his hand to Su An without expression, "Take a look, is it yours?"

Su An took it, opened it in front of everyone, pulled out a fifty-cent note with transparent tape, and then unfolded two large bills folded together to show everyone.

"It's mine, you see, if it weren't mine, I wouldn't know what the money in Cui Yuanfeng's pocket looked like!"

As she spoke, Su An started counting loudly, "Ten, twenty, thirty... four hundred and seven yuan and thirty cents."

"It's not enough here!"

Cui Yuanfeng panicked, "It's not me, really not me, I don't know, I don't know how this happened, how did this money get into my pocket?"

Da Bao’s grandma said sarcastically, "Yes, we all want to know, how did it get into your pocket?"

Cui Yuanfeng desperately looked at Liu Dawei and Liu Xiaowei, "Is it you, did you two secretly stuff it into my pocket? You two brats, are you trying to kill me?"

Seeing her mother-in-law pushing the blame onto her sons, Zhang Manyu hugged her son, "Mom, don't push everything onto the children, you know very well what you're scheming in your heart!"

"Pushing everything onto our branch, making us take the blame when something happens, who gets the benefits?"

"Do you really think we don't know what's going on in your mind? Last year, for Liu Guohua's sake, how much money did the family spend? Only he is your son, our Guojun is just picked up!"

"You bitch, what nonsense are you talking about!!!" Cui Yuanfeng, with a ferocious face, was about to scratch Zhang Manyu.

How dare she speak to her like that, doesn't she know who's in charge of the Liu family!

"Enough, what are you arguing about?" Liang Yaohui looked at the chaotic scene, his dissatisfaction almost overflowing.

"Comrade Su, how much more do you need?"

Su An looked sincere, "I don't remember exactly, probably around six hundred."

Liang Yaohui counted the money from the drawer to Su An, "How much is six hundred?"

Su An calculated the amount in the drawer, troubled, "I really don't remember, probably around six hundred and forty-five!"

Liang Yaohui didn't doubt at all, took out twenty-six large bills and handed them to Su An.

"Six hundred and forty-five, let's make it six hundred and sixty. You have four hundred and three here, here's two hundred and sixty, and check if anything else is missing!"

Su An earnestly counted the items on the ground one by one, "Officer, everything is probably here!"

Liang Yaohui nodded, "Alright, take your things back first."

"Wuwu... that's our Liu..."

Cui Yuanfeng sobbed, resentfully looking at Su An, wanting to say something, but He Jiawang gave her a cold glance, and she weakly opened her mouth, swallowing the rest of her words.

Su An glanced at Cui Yuanfeng, who was shrinking her neck and staring intently at the money in her hand, not daring to make a sound. She thanked He Jiawang and Liang Yaohui, "Officers, thank you so much. If it weren't for your wit and bravery, it would have been nearly impossible for me to get my things back so quickly!"

"Under the governance of the Party, we citizens of China have generally achieved the good quality of not taking what isn't ours and leaving our doors unlocked at night. I never expected that in broad daylight, there are still people bold enough to commit crimes right under our noses. It really shocked me!"

"If this gets out, City A might even be accused of inadequate police supervision. You officers are already working so hard, and it's truly disappointing that some people cause trouble and make your job harder."

"Organized crime, involving children in burglary... I hope the officers will deal with this strictly!"

Cui Yuanfeng, hearing the crowd saying she should be shot, turned pale with fear, her eyes wide with terror as she looked around, frantic and disheveled, searching for help.

Liu Shuanglu avoided her gaze.

Liu Guojun, clutching his ribs, also avoided her gaze. He was in pain—his face, head, and ribs all hurt.

The other two sons lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.

Seeing no one to help her, Cui Yuanfeng turned pale with fear.

"No, officers, I was wrong. I'm old and confused. I apologize to Ms. Su. Please, please forgive me this once. I will definitely correct myself, be a good person. I was wrong, I was really wrong...."
