"Who is defaming my girlfriend?" Zhou Ming's teasing voice asked behind her. Startled, Xiao Yunhua noticed his tall structure blocking her from their sight. Even though they had just argued, he still defended her.
"Mr. Zhou, please do not stand in the way. We have an official arrest warrant for Miss Yunhua. So if you'll excuse us—"
"Who was it?" All signs of playfulness left his voice as he turned serious. He had such a cold aura that it made them gulp. But as long as they had the documentation to take her away, even the powerful Zhou heir was nothing in comparison to the legal department.
"Mr. Zhou, you'll find out soon." The authorities didn't remain polite and pulled out handcuffs. Zhou Ming opened his mouth to retort but felt a small and slender hand on his arm. Turning his head, he noticed her beautiful golden eyes steady. She knew she was innocent. Her eyes also held confidence... in him?
Even though she appeared calm, she was panicking. Xiao Yunhua had never broken any laws, nonetheless commit bloody murder! Her small wrists were cuffed and she was directed to the police car. Before she got inside, her eyes scanned and met with Zhou Ming. One glance felt like an eternity but was in reality, a few seconds long.
Zhou Ming was her only hope. Otherwise, she would be forced to give away her points again. But how much could she give away? What was the point of collecting if she was spending excessively? Would she be stuck with the system forever? Xiao Yunhua shuddered at the thought. No, for the first time in her life, she had to be optimistic and completely depend on someone else who may or may not throw her away.
She sighed. As she was getting inside the car, many camera flashes were happening outside. The paparazzi had gone nuts as they witnessed the girlfriend of the Zhou heir get arrested right before their eyes. They had come to take pictures of Zhou Ming being released, but had gotten a better treat.
On the way to the police station, Xiao Yunhua was very quiet. So quiet that the officer sitting next to her glanced at her to make sure she hadn't fallen asleep. When they arrived, she was directed to sit down in a room. When she went inside, the door closed and she shivered. It was so cold. By her assumptions, this was an interrogation room. She was going to get questioned?
Approximately thirty minutes later, an officer came in. He questioned her very calmly. She answered very calmly. The officer was surprised. He had never met someone so calm. It impressed him, but made him doubt her even more. Either she was indeed innocent, or an expert manipulator. He believed the latter as her case said that she was the girlfriend of Zhou Ming, the devious Zhou heir.
Finally, no longer able to withstand her stubbornness, the officer left. What he didn't know was that the calm Xiao Yunhua was panicking and had purchased a calming effect from the shop for 500 points, which left her total to be 48,500 points. It would last for three months. For such a price, Xiao Yunhua was finally relieved to get a decent product. The calming effect would be good for the court trial as well.
But what kinds of evidence had been piled against her? It worried her but she didn't show it. Her face was blank and expressionless. Had anyone else seen her, they would've mistaken her aura for someone completely different.
Before Xiao Yunhua could think much more, the door opened and someone ushered her out.
