Chapter 36

Upon arriving at the local police station, Xu Lin felt he hadnt been in this era for very long, yet he had already visited the police station twice.

Before his rebirth, apart from getting an ID card and updating it, he rarely visited units like the public security bureau.

However, compared to the tense atmosphere during his previous visit with Ji Yun, Xu Lin, who had been through this once, seemed much calmer this time.

The two sat in a small meeting room, with no police officers present. It was just the two of them, waiting for the results.

What if theyre not scammers?

Chu Qingchan asked, her eyes glancing at the mineral water nearby. Can she drink it? Shes thirsty.

How could they not be scammers? They definitely have a purpose. Otherwise, pretending to be wealthy and spending so much money, inviting us to dinner, buying thingsits all just to impress.

Well, but you asked me to report it to the police. I was quite startled. In all these years, Ive never reported anything to the police.

At that time, when she was out doing her makeup, Xu Lin sent her a message, asking her to report it to the police casually. She didnt think much and reported it directly.

As a celebrity, you really need to pay attention to safety. The police can help you at any time. Thats absolutely true.

Xu Lin said, twisting open a bottle of mineral water and handing it to Chu Qingchan. She took it and whispered, Is it okay to just open someone elses water like this?

Last time there was an incident at school, I went to the police station, and they handed me a bottle of water from the table. No problem.

Well, I didnt expect you to have experience entering and leaving the police station.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, several police officers finally walked in with some folders and sat across from them.

Apologies for the wait. We conducted a thorough interrogation and compared their information with other data, and they are indeed scammers. However, its not just simple fraud. It also involves illegal detention, unlawful entry into residences, extortion, the illegal sale of obscene items, etc. Your quick thinking also helped us. They usually operate as a duo, targeting young, attractive individuals with good figures at train stations and airports. They use various methods to approach and present themselves as wealthy, then have the other accomplice of the same gender cooperate to dispel suspicion.

Then, posing as locals, they used rented luxury cars to chauffeur their targets, buying gifts to further convince them they were wealthy individuals or heirs.

With the introduction of WeChat, many young men and women fell into the trap due to materialistic temptations. In hotels or other locations, they would strategically place hidden cameras in advance.

The content would then be sold for profit, and five young individuals have already been harmed. Weve been aware of this illegal website for a while.

Its unexpected that you two were able to directly link to this, and we also know one source of these videos. Thank you for reporting.

No problem; its good they were caught. It can prevent more people from falling victim.

Yeah, nothing else for now. Both of you, sign here and leave a contact, then you can go home.

After a bit more paperwork, they finally left the police station before 7 p.m., and the sky outside had completely darkened.

Take a car back, or find a hotel?

Chu Qingchan, lets go home. I want to go home.

You drove for over 4 hours after midnight and then worked for several more hours. Dont you want to rest a bit?

What about me?

The other house is already set up; why not go live there?

Has my furniture arrived?

Yeah, Uncle Ji has been keeping an eye on it.

Then I need to express my thanks. But if I live there and dont mooch off meals here, is there any need to keep in touch?

Eat too much and become a little fatty. Lets see how youll be a star.

I dont gain weight. When did you see me deliberately watch my diet?

Indeed, youre right. By the way, when does your short film start shooting?

Next week. Im waiting for the detailed schedule.

Werent you saying it would be next month just last week?

Yeah, in October, I said the next one, which is November, right? Chu Qingchan said it with a serious expression.

Xu Lin nodded speechlessly, placing the dishes on the plates. It was a matter of time, but after dealing with the two scammers today, he felt like he had a talent for this and wasnt as afraid anymore.

Ive heated up the dishes here. Ill go call Uncle and Auntie.

Sure.

But as the two turned around, they saw the couple standing there, both wearing smiles.

Awake, huh? Then lets eat.

Uncle and Auntie, I was about to call you. Since you guys are awake, you can eat first.

Were not in a hurry, and weve had some cold dishes. Besides, we have the day off tomorrow, and Xu Lin doesnt have school.

All right, sit down first. Ill get bowls and chopsticks.

The rice cooker is keeping the rice warm. Its still hot. Ill serve the rice. Qingchan, you go sit.

Li Yuan saw Chu Qingchan picking up several bowls and pairs of chopsticks at once, but she seemed a bit lost. Immediately, she realised this girl probably hadnt done much housework.

So she quickly took the bowls from her and crouched down beside her. Chu Qingchan felt awkward and walked out with the chopsticks.

A few minutes later, the food was hot again, and the family of four, facing midnight, finally started their dinner.
