Shen Qingqing narrowed her eyes, "No need."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
The police officer looked at her expression and hesitantly asked, "Have you contacted your family?"
Shen Qingqing tapped on her phone a few times, sending a text message. Then, she placed the phone on the table and looked up, saying, "I have. My assistant will be here soon. He can handle all my affairs."
"Alright."
As soon as the police officer left, the interrogation room fell silent.
The content of the phone call from before began to echo in Shen Qingqing's ears.
A police officer walked to the door, glanced at her, and seeing that she was lost in thought, hesitated, ultimately deciding not to enter.
She turned and returned to the office. Seeing her colleagues, she sighed, "This is too much. The matter hasn't been settled, and it's already leaked to the reporters!"
A colleague glanced at her, "You shouldn't have this kind of mindset."
The female police officer was unhappy, "What mindset do I have?"
"You think I don't know? You really liked this socialite before." The colleague looked like they had seen through her and, out of collegial friendship, whispered, "But don't let your personal feelings cloud your judgment. If she really stole something, we still have to follow the rules."
The female police officer rolled her eyes, "I know, you don't need to remind me."
She took out her phone and couldn't help but watch the video again.
The person being interviewed was Ning Xin.
The reporters asked a string of questions, and she answered them one by one.
"Regarding the theft, I cannot give you an answer at the moment because the police are handling this matter."
"Please trust the police."
While she seemed to have answered the question, it was as if she hadn't answered it at all.
Everyone listened intently, but got nothing.
"As for my relationship with Mrs. Fu, although we aren't particularly close friends, we are also rivals and friends."
"What does that mean?" The reporter thrust the microphone towards her, "Are you two really as incompatible as the rumors say?"
"I wouldn't say incompatible," Ning Xin pondered for a moment and said, "We've known each other for some time. I admire Mrs. Fu very much. This incident... I am also very regretful. I just hope this is a misunderstanding."
"Regardless, the necklace has been found, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Ning Xin took out a rectangular box from her pocket and opened it, revealing a necklace lying quietly inside.
Under the flashing lights, the necklace radiated a dazzling glow.
The reporters were all amazed.
"Is this the necklace you lost?"
Ning Xin nodded, gently stroking the necklace, "This necklace isn't mine. I borrowed it from a collector to admire. If it were truly lost, it would be my fault."
The reporters then asked:
"So, how will you deal with the thief? Will you press charges?"
"If someone steals, they should be punished by the law. I hope Miss Ning will not be soft-hearted and let the thief go."
Ning Xin first showed a hesitant expression, then put away the necklace. She looked up, her expression serious, "I cannot determine who the thief is at this moment. However, I can make it clear here that if this person is willing to admit their mistake, apologize publicly, and promise not to do such a thing again, I will not pursue the matter."
Seeing this, the female police officer turned off the video.
Ning Xin seemed to say nothing, yet she seemed to say everything. Especially the last few sentences, which undoubtedly confirmed Shen Qingqing's theft.
Those reporters, skilled at spreading gossip, would surely report it extensively.
This matter would only escalate.
As expected, when she checked online later, the incident had already become a trending topic.
If before there were only rumors without concrete evidence, now Ning Xin's interview video became irrefutable proof.
It plunged Shen Qingqing into hell.
Not only were the netizens in an uproar, but the shareholders, who had finally been appeased by Fu Tingsheng, were also anxious. They convened an emergency shareholder meeting overnight.
They discussed how to salvage the company's stock, which had been affected.
Fu Tingsheng was also called to the company.
At home, Old Madam Fu and Chenchen stayed home but were also uneasy. One couldn't reach Fu Jingshu, and the other couldn't reach Xixi.
The grandparents sat opposite each other, both looking troubled.
Meanwhile, an uninvited guest arrived at the company.
The shareholders were in a meeting. Some supported Shen Qingqing and believed her, some remained neutral, and others were more radical and resentful of Shen Qingqing.
They felt she had repeatedly brought negative influences and rumors to the company, and some even believed that Master Fu had been deceived by Shen Qingqing.
Otherwise, why would he fall for this woman?
They were arguing fiercely when Fu Tingyi pushed the door open. The first thing he saw was Fu Tingsheng sitting behind the round table.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, then a benevolent smile spread across his face, "Brother, it's been such a long time since we last met."
Fu Tingsheng looked at his hypocritical face and felt disgusted. He seemed to have completely forgotten the past grievances between the brothers, or rather, what had escalated from conflict to hatred.
Moreover, he had later bribed the director to poison him. Although no evidence was found, he was absolutely certain that Fu Tingyi was the one who did it.
"You dare to come here."
Fu Tingyi strode in, "Why shouldn't I? I'm here to resolve the company's crisis."
"You resolve the crisis?" Fu Tingsheng almost burst out laughing, "I recall Mother announced to the public long ago that you are no longer a member of the Fu family. How can you possibly resolve anything?"
"Even if I'm not a Fu family member, I'm still a shareholder of Ruisi Group." Fu Tingyi still held 15% of the shares. While not a large amount, at this critical juncture, even Fu Jingshu, who held the most shares, was not in the city.
He had the right to attend any shareholder meeting.
On the contrary, Fu Tingsheng, who currently did not own any shares, had less say than Fu Tingyi.
Fu Tingyi walked to the conference table and sat down, his gaze falling on Fu Tingsheng's face, he said with a half-smile, "Besides, this matter is Shen Qingqing's fault. The rumors are flying everywhere now, and the company's stock has been affected. As a shareholder, don't I have the right to attend the shareholder meeting?"
Fu Tingsheng's expression darkened.
"Of course, I'm not trying to seize power," Fu Tingyi said his words quite eloquently. "You don't need to worry about that. It's just that with Jingshu absent, it's not good for the company to have no one in charge."
The shareholders exchanged glances, looking at Fu Tingyi and then at Fu Tingsheng.
Their faces were full of indecision.
They truly didn't know who to choose.
But at this moment, one of the older shareholders stood up, "I think we can let him try."
Fu Tingyi smiled.
