Gu Moling was also shocked. "Did Assistant Song make a mistake? Rou Rou is the daughter of the Qiao family. Why would she embezzle such a large sum of money? There's no need for that!"
"Young Master Gu is being kept in the dark about it!"
Song Shijing said, "Sorry to trouble you, Officer Li."
Officer Li walked in front of everyone and said seriously,
"Miss Qiao Rou…"
"Stop talking!" Qiao Rou shouted. An unprecedented fear overwhelmed her heart. She no longer cared about her image and rushed over. "I didn't do it! I didn't do it!"
Qiao Rou's eyes were red, and her voice was hoarse. "Assistant Song, you've misunderstood. I…"
"Misunderstood? If it's a misunderstanding, why are you so nervous, Miss Qiao?" Song Shijing gestured to Officer Li. Then, he looked at Qiao Xi, who was not far away, and then back at Qiao Rou.
"Miss Qiao, are you saying that I've misunderstood? If I didn't have evidence, I wouldn't have come here so rashly. You embezzled 40 million from my second young master's account without his permission. Do you think we wouldn't find out about this?
"Our second young master doesn't lack 40 million yuan, so he won't even realize that he's missing this amount of money from his account. But our president won't allow anyone to bully his younger brother and snatch away his assets."
Song Shijing's words were like a thunderclap in everyone's hearts.
Qiao Rou's face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with horror.
Everyone asked in disbelief, "Assistant Song said that Qiao Rou embezzled Second Young Master Gu's money?"
"Gu Yao is indeed not lacking in money. The Gu family dotes on him, and Gu Zheng also dotes on his younger brother. Let's not talk about 40 million, even 400 million is nothing to him. Losing a sum of money like that is nothing to him."
"But how did Qiao Rou steal the money?"
At this moment, someone reminded them, "Think about it carefully. Isn't the figure 40 million familiar?"
"Didn't Qiao Rou donate 40 million yuan to the university? She and Young Master Gu donated 80 million yuan in total. Now, President Gu is saying that Qiao Rou stole 40 million yuan from Young Master Gu Yao's account."
"It seems that Gu Moling's money came from an unknown source as well! What an adulterous pair!"
Everyone's cold gazes landed on Qiao Rou.
Qiao Rou held her breath, her mind in a mess.
When had Gu Moling ever suffered such humiliation? He looked at Qiao Rou fiercely.
"Rou Rou, where did you get your money from?"
"I don't know… I don't know!" Qiao Rou's eyes were empty as she repeated, "That's my own money. My manager can testify for me. She said that the money is mine. I didn't know that the money belonged to Young Master Gu. I didn't know."
Gu Moling took a few steps back, feeling that the woman in front of him was very unfamiliar.
Song Shijing smirked. "Officer Li, let's arrest her."
Officer Li went forward and handcuffed Qiao Rou.
Qiao Rou wanted to resist, but her body was so stiff that she could not move. She could only cry silently. She was so weak that it seemed like a gust of wind could blow her over.
"I really didn't know! Don't… Don't arrest me! I'm innocent!"
Qiao Zhenguo wanted to save her, but because it was a live broadcast, he did not dare to disobey the police.
After Qiao Rou was captured, the atmosphere became awkward.
"Qiao Rou stole Gu Yao's money and donated it to the university to clear her name. Now that the truth is out, shouldn't she return the money to Young Master Gu Yao?"
"It's fine that the Qiao family indulged their illegitimate daughter and even let her be a mistress, but now, they actually did something illegal. Is the Qiao family blind? They treat a scourge's illegitimate daughter as treasure!"
"This illegitimate daughter is really shameless! First, she accused Eldest Miss Qiao of being a mistress. When she was slapped in the face by others, it turned out that she was the mistress. Then, she stole someone else's money and donated it to suppress Eldest Miss Qiao. She said that Eldest Miss Qiao isn't worthy of Gu Moling, so he chose her instead."
"I'm dying of laughter. In the eyes of the Qiao family, Eldest Miss Qiao is useless for not fighting back. Meanwhile, a scheming b*tch like Qiao Rou is the apple of their eye!"
"Eldest Miss Qiao is so pitiful! Just now, she said that it's because she's not outstanding enough that her dad and grandma like her younger sister more. My heart aches for her."
"There's one thing Eldest Miss Qiao is indeed inferior to Qiao Rou—shamelessness."
