I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 616: Making Trouble

Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Making Trouble

The small knife was kicked far away by the woman, and Shi Jia, seeing her means of self-defense gone, could only hang her head in despair, her eyes seemingly filled with hopelessness, as if she had no more attachment to this world. Had she lost everything, and was prison her only fate now?

It was truly painful. Why did it have to be this way? Just a second ago, she was imagining a prosperous life that she deeply desired, and then suddenly, the next person condemned her to hell. If it wasn’t this woman, who else would hate her so much?

Shi Jia racked her brain but couldn’t figure it out. She looked up and said in her last words, "If it wasn’t you, who would it be? I no longer want to drag you down with me. You swear, if it was you, what would you do?"

"Did you not find me familiar? I’ve been standing here for so long, and you never noticed. Let me tell you, your business plan ended up in my hands; I showed it to my boss, and it was discovered by chance. I bet you didn’t expect that, did you? It’s such a coincidence, destiny is indeed playing tricks on you.

You thought you were selling the business plan to someone else’s house, but it turned out it was still sold to mine. Promise me, be more careful in your next life."

After saying that, Shi Jiao appeared even more incredulous, collapsing to the ground as if unwilling to accept the reality, mumbling, "Impossible, this absolutely cannot be happening. How could I be so unlucky? I have always been very lucky, how could it be so this time..."

As she spoke, tears were visible in her eyes, looking pitiable, yet nobody at the scene felt any sympathy for this woman—who a second ago was prepared to kill with a knife. She looked quite terrifying, and now everyone kept their distance, fearing she might have hidden weapons in her clothes; that would be troublesome.

Wang Xiaocon found it quite amusing; the things this woman had done wrong all led to possibilities. It was all a matter of luck. If the business plan had been sold to someone else, it might not have been discovered until she had left, but they would catch her later to compensate for the losses.

So what if it’s unfortunate that it was sold to his own? It was just a matter of sooner rather than later. Suddenly, Shi Jia seemed to realize something that brightened her eyes, as if she had some hope of being saved. Everyone was slightly surprised, wondering why she had suddenly become composed again.

"Wait, if you guys now have the business plan, why do you still need to catch me? Can I just give you the money back? I haven’t spent it yet. I can transfer it all back to you, and we can drop the charges and end this matter. Please consider that I was genuinely working hard here before, and I contributed to this research. Just settle this matter privately. I promise I won’t appear before you again. Isn’t that enough? Here is my card, take it all, please let me go."

By the end, Shi Jia’s voice even had a sobbing tone, as if she was immensely wronged. If a bystander were present, they’d probably believe she was the victim.

"Sorry, this matter might not be so easily settled privately. You’ve done what you’ve done, and you’ve wasted a lot of people’s time. Just because you were involved in the design doesn’t change anything. Some actions require you to take responsibility. I am all about impartial justice, and you should pay the price for your actions. This card, I will take it back.

There might be a reduction in your sentence later on, and how you reform will be up to you. I won’t ask for an additional punishment for you. This is the last bit of leniency I can offer. I hope you won’t repeatedly test my limits, otherwise, I have ways to make it impossible for you to survive here."

After Shen Dong had spoken, he pocketed the card, quickly checked the few large bags, and found all the money there; half the card’s amount was accounted for.

Just then, the police arrived, and upon questioning who reported the case, Shen Dong pointed to the woman on the ground and briefly explained the case. The police understood and immediately took Shi Jia away.

The whole process was extremely smooth except for the beginning when Shi Jia struggled, trying to convince the officers that it was all a misunderstanding and nothing was stolen. But someone had already called the police, and with the evidence right in front of them, there was nothing further to discuss.

If several people were struggling to take her away, they just forcefully restrained her with handcuffs, and Shi Jia couldn’t struggle free, being directly taken away.

The elderly master observed the scene feeling that this place harbored both ambitious youths and those young folks who knew nothing but tricks. Isn’t it just sad to see? However, sometimes actions do have consequences; it’s just a matter of time. This young girl was just experiencing it sooner without even enjoying it. But perhaps, it was for the better, possibly allowing for an earlier release. The master just silently sighed and then returned to his position.

Such a major turmoil ended in a mundane conclusion. Everyone who saw it could only helplessly shake their heads, except for one person who was particularly frightened—that woman who initially thought Shi Jia’s suspicion of her was unfounded. She narrowly escaped death. She needed to comfort her fragile heart soon.

One shouldn’t be too disagreeable with others because someday someone may go crazy and not spare your life. If she hadn’t been physically fit, that would have been bad.
