Stealing Your Heart Chapter 394

However, the newly-appointed Captain Chen wasn’t so easily convinced. Shooting a glance at Lin Xinyan, who looked as though she just had her wits frightened out of her, he barked with laugher and said, “Captain Shen, do you take me for a fool? If you shot him to death, how did the gun turn up in her hands?”

“She picked it up.” Shen Peichuan argued, trying to deflect the blame away from Lin Xinyan.

“She picked it up? Even better! The law will prove her innocence.” Here, he paused for effect before continuing, “Hopefully, your fingerprints will show up on the gun, so you’ll be implicated instead of her.”

Turning around, he barked to his subordinates, “Take her away.”

Shen Peichuan and Su Zhan exchanged a look. Instinctively knowing what the other was thinking, they jumped right into action. As Shen Peichuan knocked the policemen aside, Su Zhan grabbed hold of Lin Xinyan and tried to dash out of the room.

Unfortunately, Captain Chen seemed to have anticipated this. As soon as Shen Peichuan and Su Zhan tried to escape, more reinforcements flooded in through the door, completely blocking their path of escape through the corridor.

There was no way Su Zhan was going to be able to escape with Lin Xinyan.

Lin Xinyan still felt rather dazed. She was still processing the fear she had felt when He Ruize grabbed her hand and shot himself with the gun.

She wasn’t an easily frightened person, but when she saw He Ruize’s bloodied corpse lying on the floor, she had been frightened out of her wits.

When she finally snapped out of it, the gun in her hand clattered onto the floor with a loud bang, which woke her up to her situation completely.

Now thoroughly awake, she could guess what was happening to her.

Captain Chen ordered again, “Take her away!”

To stop Shen Peichuan and Su Zhan from jumping to her defense again, a few policemen promptly surrounded them.

Captain Chen bent down to pick up the gun with his gloved hands before carefully securing it in a zip lock bag.

He shot a withering look at Shen Peichuan, who was struggling vainly to free himself from the policemen’s grip. Waving the zip lock bag at him, Captain Chen said, “By the way, here’s the evidence.”

Shen Peichuan’s eyes narrowed into a slit. Since they had failed to talk their way out of this situation, it was time to fight their way out forcefully.

Lin Xinyan, who had sensed his thoughts, shook her head at him almost imperceptibly. This was an almost perfect setup. If Shen Peichuan and Su Zhan tried to force their way out, they would be arrested by the policemen, too. They would have no hope of rescuing Lin Xinyan then.

Calmly, she said to Shen Peichuan, “Give him a call.”
