Chapter 78: Exposed (1)

At the mall.

"You b*tch!"

Yi Cheng raised his hand to slap Zizi, making her step back in shock. She instinctively hid behind Yunru.

Yunru stopped his hand just before it reached her.

"Ah!"

His tight grasp almost broke his wrist into two.

"A cop is right here and you dare raise your hand against a woman?" He coldly said.

Yunru punched him hard on his face. Yi Cheng collapsed pathetically on the floor.

Zizi peeked from his back and saw Yi Cheng gasping in pain. For a moment, she got afraid that she would be hit.

She exhaled in relief. But then she stiffened as she realized she had held onto his shirt and hid behind him. 

Why did I hide behind him?

She felt annoyed at herself. 

Suddenly, Yunru felt even taller and his back even broader from up so close. The way he punched Yi Cheng to protect her made her strangely embarrassed.

Yunru's voice snapped her out. "Princess Han Zizi, how more are you planning to crease my perfectly ironed shirt?"

---

Zizi stiffened and saw how she was tightly holding onto his shirt. She quickly pulled it back.

She snorted. "They are just cheap clothes anyway. Who cares if they got creased?"

Yunru smiled. He held the corner of her dress and twisted it hard in his fist.

"Hey! My dress!" Zizi was horrified. "This is my favorite dress. You wrinkled it all over now!"

"They are just expensive clothes anyway. Who cares if they got creased?"

Zizi tremblingly pointed her finger at him. "You...Do you know how much this costs? Even the seven generations of your family cannot cover it!"

Yunru shrugged. "The seven generations of my family aren't as foolish as you to spend that exorbitant amount of money on a dress. Why should we cover for your stupidity?"

She was about to curse him again, but he turned at Yi Cheng and called another officer waiting outside. "Arrest Yi Cheng. Eighth floor. Outside the Fashionista store."

Yi Ming who had completely lost face wanted to run away.

Zizi glared at her. "Apologize for pushing me! I won't let you go until that. Weren't you so confident about that pervert? What happened now?"

Yi Ming froze. She gritted her teeth. First she was embarrassed by Yi Cheng and got proved wrong and now an apology…

"I am sorry, Miss Han. Please forgive me."

Zizi coldly snorted at her. "Don't mess with me anymore or I will tell my brother to bankrupt your family."

She paled at that threat and quickly scurried away like a mouse.

As the commotion got over, they headed outside. For some strange reason, Zizi felt quite nervous. She didn't expect this poor and lowly man to help her after how they only argued in every meeting.

Zizi haughtily said, "I won't thank you. You are a cop. It was your job."

Yunru amusingly smiled. "I don't expect such courtesy from the spoiled Princess Han Zizi anyway."

A vein popped on her head. She wished to scratch his annoying face with that annoying smile on it.

"Stop calling me spoiled and princess in that mocking tone!"

"Then grow up to be mature, Princess."

Her mouth twitched.

Outside, Yunru got in his cop car but Zizi suddenly stopped him. "Wait! Drop me back at home."

"I think you are confusing me with your personal chauffeur."

"I don't have my car right now. Even if I call now, it would take some time for the driver to come here."

"In such situations, you wait," he chuckled.

"You want me to wait in this horrible heat and sweat myself? And why should I wait anyway?"

"Exactly why I call you spoiled and princess."

She fumed in anger.

Yunru said, "Let me teach you one basic courtesy word. You should add 'please' in your sentence."

"You…"

Say please and to you!?

She found it utterly humiliating!

Their 'friendly' conversation was interrupted by a sudden call. Yunru picked it up.

"Officer Soo Yunru reporting."

Zizi was taken aback by seeing him switch to his work mode. His gaze wasn't so playful anymore. He sat straight, focussed, and in attention. It unconsciously made her stay quiet and wait for him to finish.

Then she saw the visible shock on his face with his irises slightly widened.

"I am coming."

He hung up.

Zizi frowned. "What happened? Why are you suddenly so serious?"

Yunru glanced at her. "Come sit inside. I will let you go without saying please this time. It's about your and my dear nephew. He is in the hospital and I am called for making an arrest."

---

"Bro!"

Zhiyuan glanced at Zizi rushing towards him with tears in her eyes.

"Bro. I heard what happened. How is Siying now?"

He smiled and patted her head. "Siying is much better now. He has woken up. Xinyi is inside. Why don't you go and meet him too?"

"En!"

As Yunru came walking, his sight fell onto Shuang. He instantly understood that she was in a horrible mood. 

Shuang furrowed her brows on seeing him.

Yunru?

Zhiyuan said, "Yunru. Siying would be happy to meet his Uncle too."

Yunru said, "Sure. But before that, I need to arrest the culprit. The cops got an anonymous tip that Mrs. Zhu Caihong altered Siying's food, causing him to have a strong allergic reaction and endangering his life."

Caihong froze. She slowly got up in shock.

Zhiyuan's gaze turned sharp. 

"So, I need to bring Mrs. Zhu to the police station for further investigation."

Caihong trembled and clutched her dress. "I-I... didn't do anything. I didn't put anything in Siying's food…"

Just then, An Meiying came, "What is happening here? Oh... aren't you Soo Yunru?"

An Guoting asked, "What's wrong?"

"Well, I need to take your daughter to the police station."

"What!? Are you crazy!"

He glared at Zhiyuan. "Han Zhiyuan! How could you do this? You cannot put my daughter to jail! I understand your son got hurt but it was an accident."

An Meiying quickly held his arm. "Guoting, please calm down. I-It pains me, too, but we shouldn't interfere in the investigation. Caihong is responsible for Siying's condition and it saddens me, but how can we let such a big incident slide?"

Shuang sharply inhaled and shut her eyes. 

Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes. "It is only natural to call the cops and give justice to my son. But I didn't call Yunru."

"Who else would? Oh then was it Xinyi? Only one of you could do this. Let me meet her!"

An Guoting took threatening steps towards the ward to confront Xinyi. But he stopped as an equally threatening Zhiyuan stood in his way.

"Uncle An. I respect you. So, I am politely asking you to back off. Xinyi hasn't done anything either. I won't let anybody say a word to her."

The coldness and danger in his voice shocked An Guoting. He never thought that Zhiyuan would look like that for Xinyi.

Yunru stepped in front of Caihong. "Mrs. Zhu. Currently, I don't have any choice but to take you with me. You cooked his food and directly handled it, so you are our only suspect for now."

An Meiying inwardly smirked.

Caihong gave a wry smile.

Shuang already understood who called Yunru here to arrest Caihong. But she had to stop from her mother's plan to succeed.

"You-"

"Oh what a wonderful drama going on here. Let me join in too."

Everybody turned to see Xiaosi smiling and leaning on the wall. He walked towards Yunru and looked straight at him.

Yunru became strangely quiet.

After a pause, he said, "Long time, no see."

"Same here."

"But there is no drama going on here, Mr. Zhu. A small child's life has been put into danger and your wife is the prime suspect. Is this fun to you?"

Xiaosi raised his brow. "What fun to me is that the one who is really supposed to go to behind bars has called in for the cops herself. Talk about suicide."

"Please make yourself clear."

Xiaosi sneered.

"Come here."

They saw Xiaosi's assistant roughly push a woman in front of everyone.

An Meiying paled and stood frozen.

This maid! What is she doing here?

The maid was scared shirtless.

Xiaosi smiled. "Start talking."

"T-that…"

An Guoting frowned. "What is our maid doing here?"

An Meiying quickly said, "I-I think this is a complete waste of time. What would this maid know?"

Yunru observed her. 

"We will know that once she is done talking."

"I don't-"

Yunru raised his hand. He looked at the maid. "Tell me what you know."

The maid jolted. Sweat formed on her forehead and tears trickled down. "I-It was me who-who added the soy sauce…"

"What?" An Guoting was shocked.

An Meiying said, "How is it possible? Caihong cooked his food and brought it herself."

"T-that…"

Xiaosi chuckled. "Answer it."

She jolted. "I-I added it secretly before the young mistress came back to take the food for lunch…"

She deeply bowed. "Please forgive me! B-But don't put me to jail! I beg you!"

Zhiyuan's towering figure loomed upon her, the threat clearly oozing out of his aura.

"Who told you to do it?"
