Shen Qingqing’s expression remained indifferent, "We have to wait for the facts to unfold, don't we?"
Soon, Officer Wang and Colin came out. Colin's face had also turned serious. Even if they didn't know what had happened, the questions they were asked indicated it was definitely related to the money.
Madam Gao looked at Officer Wang, "Can we draw a conclusion now?"
Officer Wang glanced at Shen Qingqing and said in a deep voice, "Do you have anything to say?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Gao couldn't help but roll her eyes. She really didn't know what kind of relationship Officer Wang and Shen Qingqing had for him to help her repeatedly.
Shen Qingqing said indifferently, "Madam Gao, Wu Chunhua, are you sure you won't go back on your word?"
"We won't," Madam Gao said irritably. "Are you done yet? Just admit your mistake, and that's that. Is it fun for you to scare us like this?"
The maidservant also nodded silently, "No regrets."
Shen Qingqing looked at Colin, "Bring it out."
Madam Gao and the maidservant were both stunned.
Bring it out?
Bring what out?
Colin quickly took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Officer Wang. Officer Wang was astonished upon seeing it and then looked up at Wu Chunhua.
"Wu Chunhua, do you have a maternal half-brother?"
The maidservant, Wu Chunhua, instinctively nodded, "Yes, my brother is Zhao Yixin."
Madam Gao had a bad premonition and quickly stopped them from talking further. "What are you talking about? Does she have a brother have anything to do with Shen Qingqing inciting someone to steal?"
No one paid her any attention.
Officer Wang said, "Your brother has always been in poor health and has been hospitalized. A charitable organization has been anonymously donating to your brother, is that correct?"
"Yes," Wu Chunhua said, her face filled with gratitude when she mentioned the anonymous organization. "My brother has leukemia and requires expensive treatment. Therefore, even though this charity organization has always refused to reveal its name, I know that they are benefactors to my brother and me, no, to our entire family!"
Officer Wang sighed and handed her the document, "Take a look yourself."
It was a donation agreement, showing that a charity organization called Chenxi had donated fifty thousand yuan to Wu Chunhua's brother, Zhao Yixin. This was the exact amount that had been transferred into Wu Chunhua's account.
Madam Gao heard something amiss from their conversation and snatched the donation agreement. Upon seeing its contents, she was shocked. "This is impossible!"
Could Shen Qingqing be so kind?
Wu Chunhua was equally stunned into silence. She looked over the agreement repeatedly, but it was indeed genuine, bearing the official seal of the judicial authority.
"Are you really..." Wu Chunhua looked at Shen Qingqing, her words trailing off.
Shen Qingqing tidied her slightly messy cuffs and looked at her coldly, "If I had known you were this kind of person, I would never have donated to you."
Wu Chunhua's heart sank like a stone.
Madam Gao threw the agreement on the ground. "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! You must have planned this in advance, you're trying to trick me!" Her expression had become somewhat frantic.
Colin, from somewhere, produced a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and pushed them up his nose. "Our President Shen has always had a kind heart for charity, she just dislikes being in the limelight, which is why she didn't publicize this matter. However, we didn't expect it to cause such misunderstandings." He shook his head, appearing very helpless.
"As for you, Wu Chunhua, I believe we will no longer be able to provide you with any assistance."
Wu Chunhua instantly collapsed onto the floor. Her brother's leukemia was a bottomless pit; without the sponsorship, she could never earn enough money on her own!
Madam Gao realized her plan might fail but was still unwilling to give up. "If it was a donation, then what about the things she and Wu Chunhua said?" She played the audio recording from Wu Chunhua's phone.
However, after listening, everyone felt that although there was a suggestive tone, the recording alone couldn't definitively prove whether the money Shen Qingqing gave Wu Chunhua was for bribery.
Shen Qingqing said, "I never said it was for bribery. She told me her brother needed money, so I gave it to her. Is there a problem with that?"
Madam Gao was taken aback.
The way she put it, it did seem reasonable.
"But..." She was not reconciled and wanted to say more, but Shen Qingqing no longer wanted to listen. "Alright, Madam Gao, stop being unreasonable. Everyone can see that this recording proves nothing. It only proves that I did indeed give her a sum of money, and it was a donation for her brother's medical treatment. The donation agreement is right here, do you have any objections?"
She waved the donation agreement in front of Madam Gao, who immediately deflated.
Shen Qingqing looked at her and said slowly, "Officer, can I sue Madam Gao for defamation?"
"You can..."
Before Officer Wang could finish speaking, Wu Chunhua, who had been in a daze, suddenly said, "I can testify. Everything I said was false. Miss Shen never bribed me. This was all orchestrated by Madam Gao. She has always disliked Miss Shen, and Mr. Gao told her to be polite to Miss Shen. She had no choice but to find a way to deal with Miss Shen herself, but since she couldn't find any leverage against Miss Shen, she had to use me."
Wu Chunhua's legs felt weak, and she only managed to stand steadily by gripping the edge of the table.
"Why are you helping her?" Officer Wang's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected the situation to turn around so quickly.
Madam Gao glared at Wu Chunhua, "You wretched woman, how dare you betray me!" In a fit of rage, she lunged to attack Wu Chunhua, but before she could, Officer Wang intercepted her. His imposing figure and upright demeanor managed to calm the furious and irrational Madam Gao.
"What place is this? Do you think you can act like this!"
Madam Gao bit her lip, resentfully saying, "This wretched woman was bought off by Shen Qingqing, it was not me who asked her to do it. She's deliberately saying this to help Shen Qingqing harm me!"
"The evidence is conclusive, what are you still trying to deny?" Officer Wang had dealt with countless difficult women, and this was by no means the first or the last. He handled it with practiced ease.
"We are the police, and we follow procedure. You'll have to be inconvenienced and stay here for a while." After speaking, Officer Wang had Madam Gao taken away and sent to the interrogation room.
But as soon as she left, he turned to Shen Qingqing.
"Consider whether you truly want to sue her." He knew Shen Qingqing had been busy with Gao Jian's affairs recently. If she wanted to have a proper conversation with Gao Xu, she couldn't completely alienate Madam Gao. She needed to know when to stop.
Shen Qingqing said, "Keep her detained for now. Let me think about it and I'll give you an answer within three days."
