Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Are you trying to infuriate me?_1

Pawned?

What’s the point in pawning now?

The most important thing is to report to the police.

Find that girl and retrieve the watch.

Even if the girl sold the watch, she needs to cough up the money.

"No more selling, I’ve been duped. I previously rented out my watch for a day, it must have been then when it was switched. I need to report this to the police and have them recover my watch," said Feng Lijuan as she took out her cell phone to call the police.

Reporting here can also let the police know that the watch is fake, authenticated by an appraiser. After the police file the case, they can skip this step and solve the case faster.

Ten minutes later, two young police officers, a man, and a woman, arrived at the pawnshop.

After questioning Feng Lijuan and understanding the situation, they reached the same conclusion as Feng Lijuan.

The girl who rented the watch was under major suspicion.

The female officer said, "Miss Feng, you mentioned you communicated with that girl via WeChat, which is real-name registered. Please provide us with her WeChat ID so we can conduct an investigation and see if we can track her down."

"Yes, yes, WeChat is real-name registered; you can find the person directly." Feng Lijuan nodded repeatedly and quickly took out her phone, reporting the girl’s WeChat ID to the police.

In the past, Dong Junjie hired thugs to mess with Chen Yuanxiang’s restaurant using WeChat. In the end, the police tracked down Dong Junjie through WeChat and detained him for fifteen days.

It seems there’s hope for recovering my watch after all.

That girl can’t get away.

"Miss Feng, we’ll immediately start the investigation and will notify you promptly if there are any updates," they said.

Leaving a phone number behind, the two officers left.

Feng Lijuan, holding the counterfeit watch, exited the pawnshop.

Had she not come to the pawnshop, she wouldn’t have known her watch had turned into a counterfeit.

That damned girl deserves to die.

Feng Lijuan went home in a daze.

Sitting alone on the living room sofa, her overall mental condition was at an all-time low.

Now, all she could do was hope the police would find the girl quickly.

Soon, it was five o’clock in the afternoon.

Feng Lijuan still hadn’t received a call from the police.

Looking up a WeChat ID and finding the person shouldn’t take this long.

Feng Lijuan pulled out her phone and dialed the female officer’s number.

Soon, the call connected.

Feng Lijuan immediately asked, "Mr. Lu, I’m Feng Lijuan. Could you tell me the status of my case?"

The female officer’s name was Lu Xin.

Lu Xin said, "Miss Feng, I was about to call you. I’m sorry, but the person we found is nothing like the girl you described. The girl bought her WeChat ID from someone else, and now we have no leads to find her since the seller doesn’t know her personally either."

Feng Lijuan’s face turned pale: "So you mean she can’t be found?"

Initially, there was hope to find her through her WeChat ID, but now even that is useless, and the hope has dwindled.

"Miss Feng, we’ll do everything we can," Lu Xin said.

That statement was basically the same as saying they couldn’t find her.

"What can you do if you can’t find someone even with their WeChat ID?" Feng Lijuan understood the police’s implication, her face full of bitterness.

"Miss Feng, we will do our best and notify you if there’s any news, goodbye," said Lu Xin as she hung up.

Cases like these are incredibly challenging.

In this vast sea of people, where do you even begin to look?

Even with the Skynet System, they couldn’t find her.

Basing on Feng Lijuan’s description of the girl’s appearance, she checked the surveillance footage near their transaction location using the Skynet System but found no traces of the girl Feng Lijuan described.

Unless something unexpected happened, the girl was probably disguised.

In such circumstances, it was basically impossible to find the person.

However, she was handling the case and couldn’t shut the door on all possibilities.

...

On Feng Lijuan’s end.

After hanging up the phone, she burst into tears.

"No, I can’t let my sisters know about this. Otherwise, they’ll laugh at me for a lifetime."

Crying for a while, Feng Lijuan thought of this issue.

She had to get money for the investment.

Otherwise, it would be easy to slip up if her sisters asked about it.

She certainly couldn’t say she wasn’t dealing with watches anymore.

Moreover, such a great investment opportunity must not be missed.

Earning twice the amount in one year, she had to invest.

But where could she get the money to invest?

Feng Lijuan thought for a moment and dialed Chen Yuting’s number.

If Chen Yuting had gotten back together with Shen Dong, asking for several millions or even tens of millions would have been very easy.

The money that had been swindled could be brushed off as nothing.

However, when she made the call, there was no answer.

After a while, she tried again, but still no answer.

"She’s not answering my call, what could she possibly be doing?" Feng Lijuan frowned and speculated, "Could Yuting be with Shen Dong, in the middle of their lovey-dovey time, and that’s why she’s not picking up my call?"

A smile appeared on Feng Lijuan’s face.

If that was the case, it would be perfect.

She had dialed the right number then.

She’d first ask for twenty million to buy a five million Ferrari sports car.

Next, she’d get a Patek Philippe watch, the same model as last time for one and a half million.

With the remaining thirteen and a half million, she’d keep three and a half million for petty cash and invest ten million.

Within a year, she’d earn twenty million, and even Shen Dong would have to admire her.

Thinking of all these things, Feng Lijuan’s smile grew even more radiant.

Just then, her cellphone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Chen Yuting calling.

Feng Lijuan quickly answered, "Yuting, sorry to interrupt, I must have disturbed you just now."

Chen Yuting’s voice came through, "Mom, you did disturb me. I’m at work. I was attending to a client and couldn’t take the call. What do you need from me?"

Feng Lijuan was stunned, "Attending to a client? You started working? Not with Shen Dong?"

Chen Yuting replied in exasperation, "Mom, what are you thinking? Why would I be with Shen Dong? I told you, Shen Dong really loves my sister, and it’s over between Shen Dong and me. I won’t consider it any longer, and recently, I went to dad’s home for a meal and cleared things up. Shen Dong and I are an impossibility now. I wish him and my sister well. I also attended the celebration hosted by dad and Mrs. Lin, and I gave them my blessings. Please stop thinking that I might get back with Shen Dong and stop talking to me about it. What do you need from me? If there’s nothing else, I need to get back to work."

Feng Lijuan was stunned for a good while before she could fully digest Chen Yuting’s words.

"Chen Yuting, have you lost your mind?"

"Why would you go to work instead of being with Shen Dong, living as a rich wife?"

"And you’re blessing them? It’s like your brain is broken."

"You even attended the celebration of your dad and that woman; are you trying to kill me with anger?"

Feng Lijuan was somewhat frantic and exasperated.

Working for a living, how much could one possibly earn?

If you’re not considering that option, how am I to become Shen Dong’s mother-in-law?

And attending Chen Yuanxiang and Lin Shulei’s banquet means you’ve sided with them.
