Reborn : Space Intelligent Woman

Chapter 2556: Chapter 2556: Not Her First Time

Yu Qi returned home after dinner.

”Young Miss Yu Qi, have you eaten dinner yet?” Grandpa Hang asked.

”Yes. I have.” Yu Qi nodded.

Yu Qi walked past the living room. She heard people talking in the living room. She checked out. She saw her grandpa, uncles, aunties, Tang Han Lee, and Ding Na Na gathered in the living room.

Grandpa Tang noticed Yu Qi’s head and immediately called her over. ”Oh... Yu Qi, you are here. Come and talk.”

Yu Qi walked into the living room and sat beside Ding Na An.

”Have you eaten dinner?” Su Xiao asked.

”Yes. I have already eaten up. The work is a lot today.” Yu Qi stated.

”Really? Have your uncle reduce your burden.” Grandpa Tang stated.

”Grandpa, it is not my doctor’s job. It is my business. I have to review my file earlier.” Yu Qi stated. ”By the way, what are you talking about? Your expression, too, they are so serious.”

”There is a thief among us.” Tang Jung Wen said.

”Dear, what are you talking about? Don’t speak nonsense. It is not among us. It is among the maids.” Ming Yue corrected the words that her husband used.

”A thief was caught stealing the items in the house. The police came over and arrested her.” Grandpa Tang said.

”So, you caught her stealing and called the police on her. I see.” Yu Qi nodded.

”No... No... That is not what actually happened.” Ming Yue shook her head. ”We did not even know that our things were stolen in the first place.”

Yu Qi raised her eyebrow and tilted her eyes.

Seeing the expression on Yu Qi’s face, Ming Yue continued. ”It was the police who informed us about the thief. The police officer told us there was an anonymous report stating that a middle-aged couple was involved in a suspicious activity. When they went to arrest them, a large amount of money was found. They could not provide any evidence stating that the money belonged to them. So, they got arrested.

After interrogation, the middle-aged couple finally admitted that they sold stolen jewellery. They said that it was their daughter who stole the jewellery. Upon further interrogation, they realised their daughter was a maid working for our family. So, they came to arrest her.

The maid caught a whiff that the police had come and wanted to arrest her. So, she tried to run away. Fortunately, Chu Xiao managed to stop her from running away.”

”What items has she been stealing from us? Tang Han Lee asked.

”It is not the first time she has done it.” Grandpa Tang stated.

”The police said the stolen items that they knew were the necklace and brooch. I already checked my jewellery box and confirmed that the items had been missing. The necklace alone is worth 3 million. As for other items, we still need to check.” Ming Yue said.

”So, what are you going to do with them?” Tang Han Lee asked.

”I already called our lawyer. We plan to sue them in criminal and civil law.” Grandpa Tang said.

”Ask him to investigate that maid’s record and her parents as well.” Yu Qi suggested.

”I will ask him tomorrow.” Grandpa Tang nodded.

”Well, it is late now. Let’s continue at another time.” Su Xiao said.

Everyone returned to their rooms. Yu Qi entered the room. Aoi, who was lying on the bed, lifted his head and saw Yu Qi.

”Master, that maid thought I was being possessed,” Aoi stated.

”Huh?” Yu Qi felt it was funny.

”Hmm... When she tried to run away, she wanted to kick me and tried to kick me, so I scratched her leg.” Aoi said.

”Just like that... She thought you were being possessed?” Yu Qi asked.

”Well, no... I was kind of smiling at her.” Aoi said.

”No wonder.” Yu Qi chuckled. ”Well, good job. I will keep my promise to cook for you.”

Aoi’s ear stood up and looked at Yu Qi. ”Of course. What do you want to eat?”

”Meat,” Aoi stated.

”Okay... I will go to the supermarket to buy the meat tomorrow.” Yu Qi stated.

Aoi was dancing on the bed. Yu Qi chuckled to watch Aoi behave like that. She went to the bathroom to take a bath. She wanted some relaxation, too.

....

The police contacted Grandpa Tang about the stolen items.

”Master Tang, I want to inform you about something.” The police officer spoke up.

”Please speak, Sir.” Grandpa Tang said.

”Well, we had recovered the stolen items from that gang. However, I am sadly informed that your daughter-in-law’s jewellery is not in the list.” The police officer stated.

”Huh? Don’t you tell us that the middle-aged couple sold it to the gang? If it is not in the hands of that gang, where is it!?” Grandpa Tang asked in confusion.

”We already asked the gang leader. He told us that after the middle-aged couple came in and sold the jewellery, there was a woman, probably in 20’s came into the store and attacked the gang. Her target was the necklace and the brooch owned by your daughter-in-law. She did not take anything, according to the gang leader.” The police officer stated.

”A young woman? Who is she?” Grandpa Tang asked.

”We have a picture of her from the CCTV of the store. We are launching a large campaign to search for this young woman.” The police officer stated.
