Chapter 1720 - 1720 Half a Shadow

1720 Half a Shadow

After lunch, Chi Shuyan took a taxi to the police station. Just as she was about to enter the police station, she happened to run into Yuan Yuan, who was leaving. This time, the woman was no longer as elegant and haughty as before. Instead, she was in a sorry state as she was escorted out.

Thank you readers!

She wasn’t wearing any sort of exquisite makeup like before, so her haggard complexion and eye bags simply couldn’t be covered at all. Her hair was a mess around her twisted expression, and her red eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at everyone. She stared fiercely at everyone and didn’t stop cursing as she muttered like a lunatic, “Let go of me, let go of me… I want to sue, I want to sue!”

After a while, she yelled back into the police station, “Mingcheng, help me, Mingcheng, help me. They’re all working together, they’re all working together; they’re not good people. They want to harm me… They want to harm me…”

The woman shouted incoherently and her voice was hoarse. When she saw Chi Shuyan in front of the police station, she immediately shut up and stared fixedly at her.

Chi Shuyan naturally sensed her gaze. To be honest, she didn’t expect to run into this woman here.

Although she had a lot of objections to this woman harming others for her own selfish motives, ultimately, she had no personal grudge with this woman. She nodded coldly at the other party, and also greeted the two young men who were escorting Yuan Yuan out of the police station. It just so happened that the two men were Brother Feng’s subordinates. Because of her relationship with Director Feng, everyone got along and was quite familiar with each other.

Tang Yunming immediately said, “Master Chi, Director Feng is in his office. You can’t miss him.”

“Okay, I’ll go in first. You guys go ahead!” Before Chi Shuyan went in, she took a quick glance at Yuan Yuan’s physiognomy. Sure enough, it was beginning to change.

It was just that she couldn’t see exactly what the change was in the other party’s physiognomy yet. After sizing her up for a moment and seeing nothing, Chi Shuyan simply went to find Brother Feng first.

Before she left, she suddenly noticed two shadows on the ground. One was Tang Yunming’s, and the other belonged to Brother Feng’s other subordinate. Both had short hair and were men. What about that Yuan woman?

Wondering if she had seen wrongly, Chi Shuyan stopped and took a closer look. Several seconds later, half a shadow suddenly stretched out between the two shadows on the ground. It was clearly the shadow of the Yuan woman.

The shadow was extremely weak. It stretched out for a bit, then disappeared before it reappeared not long after. It flickered in and out, but on a closer look, the shadow was getting increasingly faint. Chi Shuyan was stumped.

Tang Yunming and Chen Da were initially waiting for Master Chi to leave before ejecting the Yuan woman, but who would have thought that Master Chi would suddenly stop and stare at their feet, leaving them stumped and making their scalps tingle.

The two of them were about to say a few more words to Master Chi, but who would have thought that the Yuan woman would take advantage of the moment when their guards were down to break free. She suddenly ran over to Master Chi and stared at her with bloodshot eyes, as if Master Chi had killed her father. The woman’s face twisted and she shouted, “Was it you? Did you steal my treasure? Did you… Did you…” How many times had this woman ruined her plans?

Yuan Yuan was really agitated today and didn’t have much rationality left. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that everything was this woman’s fault. Why did this woman want to help Yang Ji and the others? Why did this woman want to oppose her? She had been so close, so close. The person she disliked was dead, as she had wanted, and the person she liked was going to marry her; they were going to have a family and live a happy life in the future. Everything had been going fine at first, but who would have thought… who would have thought that the woman in front of her would trip her up every step of the way?

Why? Why?

Now, even Yuan Yuan’s treasure had been stolen. She had to find it. She had to find it.

Yuan Yuan’s face was filled with anxiety. Whether or not the woman in front of her really was the thief, she didn’t care. Her face twisted with hatred, and she pushed all the blame on the woman in front of her. Only then did she feel a little more self-assured. “Was it you? Was it you? It must be you. You must have stolen my treasure. Hurry… hurry and give it back to me. Give me back my treasure, give it back!”

Yuan Yuan rambled incoherently. Her body shook as she spoke, and her hands trembled with agitation, as if she was experiencing withdrawal. Seeing that Chi Shuyan didn’t move for a long time and didn’t return her treasure, Yuan Yuan attacked her. She reached out to grab her and shouted, “Give me back my treasure, give me back my treasure!”

When Tang Yunming and Chen Da saw that Yuan Yuan still dared to attack someone at the entrance to the police station, they were shocked and hurriedly stopped her. Master Chi wasn’t a weak person, however. Before they could do anything, Master Chi grabbed Yuan Yuan’s hand tightly. There was a crack, and Yuan Yuan screamed and fell to the ground.

Given this woman’s condition, they were worried that she would harm someone if they let her back into society.

Afraid that Master Chi would be angry, Chen Da hurriedly said, “Master Chi, why don’t you go in and find Director Feng first? Yunming and I will deal with this woman!” They planned to send her to the hospital first.

Chi Shuyan nodded at the two of them. “Okay, you guys deal with it!”

As Chi Shuyan entered, no one noticed that a few faintly discernible red lines had appeared on the forehead of the Yuan woman at some point. Not only that, if one took a closer look at her shadow, they would see it abruptly pull back; after a long while, there was no more movement. There were three people standing at the entrance of the police station in the middle of the day as a cold wind blew, but there were only two shadows on the ground.
