Stealing Your Heart

Wang Dui shot a look at Sang Yu. “You’re Shen Peichuan’s wife, right? We’re in the middle of a meeting, and not everyone is invited. You can’t barge in even if you’re Chief Shen’s wife. Please leave right away!”

Sang Yu circled around Shen Peichuan and placed the box on the table. She replied, “I understand that as a family member, I have no right to barge in and speak up like this. I only came because this is urgent.”

She then added firmly, “When I clocked off yesterday, I received a box of apples. It’s not worth much, but as a family member of a public servant, I thought that I shouldn’t even accept this box of apples, so I brought it over.”

Wang Dui shifted his gaze to the box and asked, “Are there apples inside the box?”

Sang Yu refuted, “The box says ‘Apples’ and it has a picture of an apple on it. What else could be in there? Bananas?”

“It’s just a box of apples, so it’s nothing much…”

“It may be a simple box of apples, but it is still a gift, and we can’t accept it. I may be young, but I am educated as well. The president has clarified that public servants cannot accept even a single piece of thread from the people. This box of apples is worth hundreds of spools of thread.”

Wang Dui’s eyes shifted as his mind spun. He said, “You know, it’s been a while since I had some apples. How about we open the box up and have some?”

Sang Yu replied, “Do what you want. It’s not mine, so I can’t decide.”

Wang Dui peeled the tape off and opened the box.

He then shook the contents out to show everyone the wads of cash. “Are these apples to you?” growled Wang Dui.

Sang Yu put on a surprised expression.

Everyone had their eyes on her once more.

Wang Dui then added, “Are you doing all this and putting on an act because you know that your evil deeds have been exposed? Do you think you can feign innocence just like that?”

Sang Yu turned to Wang Dui. Lin Xinyan had analyzed the situation and shared her thoughts with Sang Yu when they traveled to the police station. The former guessed that it was highly probable that the culprit would insist on pinning the crime on them.
