“I won’t tell Gu Chenge. Help me take care of the children. Thank you. I have something to take care of.”

Cheng Nuo sent the children home and arranged some bodyguards. Then, she turned around and left with the police.

Before the bodyguards could react to the escape of the children, they saw two men in police uniforms and became even more surprised. However, they did not dare to be vague. They immediately called Gu Chenge and told him the news.

..

In the police station. Cheng Nuo was sitting on a chair. Opposite her were two policemen. They were holding pens and looking at Cheng Nuo seriously. 

“Someone reported that you are suspected of murder,” a policewoman said as she tapped the table rhythmically with her pen.

Murder? Cheng Nuo frowned and asked, “What murder? How come I don’t know about it?”

How could she be blamed for something she didn’t do?

“Do you remember the news from six years ago? It said that you were so angry that your grandfather died. Then, you didn’t have the face to stay in the Cheng family and left the country alone.”The policewoman took out a newspaper from the table, placing it in front of Cheng Nuo.

Cheng Nuo couldn’t be more familiar with this newspaper. At that time, it was the Cheng family who sent someone to report it, saying that they would chase her out of the family.

The family member who treated her best was her grandfather. The Cheng family also treated her grandfather as Cheng Nuo’s soft spot. They often used her grandfather to threaten her and make her more obedient. When her grandfather passed away, she was the saddest person in the family, and she was also the most helpless. However, the Cheng family treated her as a joke, even claiming to the public that she angered her grandfather to death.

Back then, she was extremely wronged. She couldn’t resist the public opinion and couldn’t stand the pressure, so she left the country. She didn’t expect that this old matter would be picked up again. Did the Cheng family want to push her into the fire pit again? Today, she saw the news. Cheng Die’s bad deeds had been exposed, and it had become the topic of public opinion on the internet. The video of her violent tendencies had also gone viral. The entire internet was scolding her, just like when she had been blacklisted by the entire internet.

Now, not only had Cheng Die’s persona collapsed, but the bad deeds done by Cheng Dahai and Yang Caihua had also been exposed by some kind-hearted person. The entire Cheng family instantly stood on the topic of public opinion. They had been scolded miserably, and the company had lost money again and again. Many shareholders had thought about withdrawing their shares. It seemed that the Cheng family couldn’t sit still anymore. They had pushed her out. No matter what, they had to confirm her identity as a murderer. They wanted her to stand on the cusp of public opinion and use this to divert the topic.

Grandfather had already been gone for six years. Even if there was evidence in the past, it would have been worn away with time. Now, there was no evidence to prove it. As long as there was no evidence, the Cheng family would insist that it was her who killed grandfather. Then, no matter how capable she was, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name, even by jumping into the Yellow River.

Cheng Nuo frowned and could not help but sneer. These people had amazing intentions. Even if she died, they would drag her down with them. 

She took a breath and said calmly, “I didn’t kill anyone.”

“If you didn’t kill anyone, why would they report you? It was clearly reported in the newspapers back then.”

The policewoman knocked on the table with a serious look.

“Do you think they can determine the truth just by opening their mouths? I didn’t do what I didn’t do. They said I killed someone. Where’s the evidence? How can you accuse someone like that?” 

Hearing the police suspect her as well, Cheng Nuo felt tired. It was as if she had returned to the time when she was framed and scolded by the whole internet.

However, she had no evidence to prove her innocence.. What was wrong with them suspecting her?
