Chapter 5

“I’d like to clarify that we police officers have always emphasized evidence in our work and don’t play the ‘using public duty for personal gain’ game!”

“The reason we’ve detained this gentleman is because there’s a case that requires his cooperation in the investigation…”

Hearing these words, the angry guests paused in their actions.

Even the bride’s parents, who had approached the stage, furrowed their brows.

“Officer, even if it’s a legitimate investigation, you should pick an appropriate time.”

“Now is the time my daughter is marrying Gao Qi. Are you coming to make arrests now, or is it a bit unscrupulous?”

Qin Shuyi’s mother shouted loudly.

Even after listening to the officers’ explanations, she was still equally furious.

Who would cooperate with an investigation to the extent of not even attending their own wedding?

These people were clearly doing it on purpose!

Seeing that the guests in the hall had quieted down, the officers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, when added up, there were around three to four hundred guests here. If things escalated…

They, as mere junior officers, wouldn’t be able to control the situation!

Facing Qin Shuyi’s mother’s anger, Su Xuan chuckled.

“Of course, it’s because your daughter is about to be implicated. If she really gets married, she might also be dragged into this!”

At his words, Qin Shuyi’s mother’s complexion changed.

Before she could even ask, Gao Qi’s face had already turned sour. He grew heavy-hearted, although his voice was raised…

“Officer, how can you smear my reputation like this?”

“I haven’t even received any notice to cooperate in an investigation. Why do you have the right to arrest me?”

“Even if it’s for an investigation, since when do you arrest someone directly? You’re abusing your authority!”

“Release me immediately, or I’ll complain about you!”

Facing Gao Qi, who was still cunning and trying to turn the tables, Su Xuan sneered.

He snatched the handcuffs back from Qin Shuyi’s stunned grasp and said coldly:

“Why would I arrest you? Don’t you have any sense of impending trouble?”

“You want to complain about me? Well, we can settle this at the station. Feel free to complain or whatever you want then, it’s your choice!”

“Now!”

“Come with me!”

Su Xuan bellowed, and Gao Qi, who had initially been angry, heard these words and suddenly felt a chill down his spine. His face turned pale…

This expression was unmistakably that of guilt…

In fact, from the moment Su Xuan and the others had entered, Gao Qi felt that something bad was going to happen.

But he still held onto a thread of hope.

He thought Su Xuan had come for Qin Shuyi, never expecting to be cuffed himself…

Unlike Qin Shuyi, Gao Qi knew that if Su Xuan was so certain about arresting him, it meant they had evidence…

At least, some leads…

With this in mind, Gao Qi shuddered all over. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and he opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but his throat tightened, and no sound came out…

At this moment, he truly regretted it.

Had he known that Qin Shuyi had an ex-boyfriend who was a cop, he should have chosen another woman. But he had foolishly believed he was well-hidden…

Now, Gao Qi stared at the handcuffs on his wrists.

He couldn’t fathom how much of his criminal record the police were aware of…

Seeing this scene, Qin Shuyi, who had been furious, also felt that something was off.

She immediately turned her gaze to the groom, Gao Qi, and urgently spoke up.

“Honey, what are you waiting for? If you don’t speak up now, he’s really going to take you to the police station.”

“Quick, say something! You can’t possibly let him take you away from here. This is our wedding ceremony!”

“What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you saying anything…”

“Could it be…”

As she spoke, Qin Shuyi herself began to realize that something was amiss.

Even a strong sense of unease began to well up within her.

“Honey, you…”

“Shut up!”

Gao Qi glared fiercely at her. If it weren’t for this woman, he wouldn’t have been discovered.

Yet she was there, chattering away…

If his hands weren’t cuffed, he would have sent this woman to the netherworld!

Qin Shuyi was immediately taken aback.

She had known Gao Qi for so long, and he had never raised his voice at her before…

“Gao Qi, also known as Qi Gao, was involved in a robbery of a jewelry-filled suitcase on a high-speed train three months ago, with an amount reaching several million. He’s currently on the police’s wanted list…”

“Today, we’re here to bring him in for questioning.”

“If anyone obstructs us, they will be charged with impeding official duties and be treated as accomplices!”

“We kindly ask for your cooperation in our work…”

Su Xuan also knew that if he didn’t say something today, they probably wouldn’t be able to take the person away.

However, he didn’t care about Qin Shuyi’s reputation and immediately spoke up.

His words had just been spoken when the whole scene erupted!

“What the hell! A wanted criminal?”

“That incident on the high-speed train, three months ago… I saw it too… Not to mention the person in the video looks somewhat like the groom…”

“No way, a robber right in front of me, and I’m only finding out now…”

“This is terrifying. If it weren’t for the officers showing up, we wouldn’t even have known he’s a robber…”

“So frightening! Damn it, I can’t even eat my meal now.”

“Just thinking about how I just brushed past a criminal, it gives me the creeps…”

“No wonder this guy, so young and rich, seemed like a second-generation wealthy person. Turns out he made his fortune through theft and robbery…”

The guests at the scene couldn’t help but speak up.

Some even took a few steps back, their gazes towards the stage carrying an extra edge of fear.

No one could tolerate having a robber right next to them!

Especially among them, many had conversed with the groom earlier, considering a wealthy relative to be a potentially lucrative connection.

Who would have thought he was an actual robber, and even a wanted criminal…

When they heard Su Xuan say that the groom was a wanted robber, their hearts felt like they were about to jump out of their chests!

Oh my god!

They had come dangerously close to risking their lives and fortunes…

Who could have imagined that the person who had just been talking to them was actually a fugitive criminal? If they inadvertently angered him, would they end up getting harmed too…

At this thought, the eyes of everyone in the room turned towards the groom, filled with fear!

The desire to kill someone can’t be hidden.

Likewise, the fear in someone’s eyes can’t be concealed…

They were truly terrified!

But at this moment, amidst all the guests, it was the bride, Qin Shuyi, who felt like she was losing her mind…

She stared at Gao Qi in disbelief, loudly questioning, “Gao Qi! Is this true or not? Are you really a wanted criminal!?”
