“You’ve got to be kidding! There is no way my friend would steal anything.”
Shen Zhixia hadn’t even caught her breath before immediately stepping in front of Nan Xin and confronting the police officers.
The commotion attracted the attention of everyone nearby. Some people even secretly pulled out their phones and began recording.
Nan Xin frowned.
The officers standing before her were genuine police officers. She had checked their identification just moments ago.
“I can go with you, but I want to know who reported me.”
Perhaps because Nan Xin looked so vulnerable, the officer hesitated before giving her the surname.
“A man surnamed Sun. He said his boss lost a ring worth one hundred million yuan, and you were the only person who had been at that location that day.”
“Sun? Xin Xin, do you know anyone surnamed Sun?”
Shen Zhixia was frantic, desperately searching her memory for anyone with the surname Sun.
Nan Xin had been puzzled when she first heard that the informant was a man surnamed Sun. But the moment he mentioned his boss, she immediately realized who he was.
The only person surnamed Sun around her was Fu Beichen’s assistant, Sun Wei.
She didn’t tell Shen Zhixia about it and instead reassured her, “Don’t worry. The person who reported me works for Fu Beichen. He won’t do anything to me.”
“But you’re still so weak! What if something goes wrong?”
Shen Zhixia was practically on the verge of tears.
But the police had already come to take Nan Xin away. No matter how anxious she was, there was nothing she could do. All she could do was watch helplessly as Nan Xin was escorted away.
Shen Zhixia originally intended to drive after the police car, but after getting into her own car, she suddenly changed her mind.
“The only person who can save Xin Xin now is him.”
Shen Zhixia stepped on the accelerator and drove straight toward Yunding Villa.
At the police station, because Nan Xin was pregnant, the officers treated her with great care and didn’t give her a hard time. Even the officer assigned to question her was a woman.
The female officer poured her a glass of water before beginning the interrogation.
She first asked Nan Xin some basic information, then got straight to the point.
“Where were you on November 27, and what did you do that day?”
Nan Xin thought for a moment before answering seriously.
“I went to the hospital around noon. Then I had lunch with a friend. After lunch, I went to the market and then returned to Nanshan Villa…”
“Why did you go to Nanshan Villa?”
The female officer’s tone suddenly became stern.
Nan Xin froze.
Thinking about the reason Fu Beichen had reported her, she immediately understood the whole situation.
Fu Beichen had never bought her a ring. Even when they got married, he had refused to buy wedding rings, claiming they were nothing more than a meaningless formality.
Therefore, the ring worth one hundred million yuan had to belong to Nan Yu.
Coincidentally, Nan Yu’s ring had disappeared after Nan Xin visited the villa.
Naturally, the two of them had decided to pin the theft on her.
Nan Xin almost laughed from sheer anger.
Seeing the sudden smile on her face, the female officer frowned and spoke displeasedly.
“This is a serious matter. Joking is not permitted.”
“Sorry.”
Nan Xin realized that she had lost control of herself and immediately straightened her expression.
She cleared her throat and said, “Officer, may I ask whether taking something from my own home counts as theft?”
“What do you mean?”
The female officer didn’t understand at first because the person who had reported the theft claimed that the missing ring belonged to his boss’s wife.
So what exactly did this woman mean?
Nan Xin began thinking about how she could prove her identity.
Her marriage certificate had been torn apart by Fu Beichen at Fu Nuan Nuan’s birthday party.
“Can you check marriage registration records here?”
“Yes, we can.”
Nan Xin nodded.
“Then please check. The property at Nanshan Villa is registered under my husband’s name.”
The female officer had never handled a case quite like this before. She immediately went to verify Nan Xin’s identity and simultaneously contacted the informant to confirm whether Nan Xin’s claims were true.
An hour later, the female officer returned.
She had obtained the verified information.
“You are indeed legally married to Fu Beichen, the registered owner of Nanshan Villa. However, the person who reported the theft claims that the missing item belonged to his boss’s friend. There is also a witness who claims that you were the only person present who had a motive to steal it. Because the value of the stolen item is extremely high, I need to know your current place of residence.”
Nan Xin pursed her lips.
Her husband had joined forces with her sister to frame her for theft. She could prove her innocence, but she was currently staying at Ji Zhouye’s home.
If she gave the police the address and they searched Yunding Villa, it would undoubtedly drag Ji Zhouye into the mess.
She didn’t want to cause him any trouble.
The long silence made the female officer’s expression change.
“Miss Nan, I have to remind you that Mr. Fu has explicitly stated that he will not bail you out. Because the value of the missing item is so high, if you refuse to cooperate with the investigation, you could face administrative detention. A criminal record could affect your future children.”
Nan Xin remained silent.
She had never imagined that Fu Beichen would go this far. He was willing to send her to jail simply to frame her.
But even knowing that this could have serious consequences for her, Nan Xin couldn’t bring herself to reveal the address of Yunding Villa and allow the police to search Ji Zhouye’s home.
At that moment, the plaintiff’s lawyer arrived.
He was the legal counsel retained by the Fu Group. As soon as he arrived, he showed Nan Xin his business card.
The next thing he handed her was a divorce agreement.
“Miss Nan, I’ll get straight to the point. President Fu’s position is simple. If you sign this agreement, he will withdraw the lawsuit against you. Otherwise, he intends to pursue this matter to the very end.”
Nan Xin glanced at the divorce agreement.
It was only a single sheet of paper. All the terms were written on that one page—simple, clear, and cruel.
**Clause One:** The wife shall leave the marriage with nothing.
**Clause Two:** Because of the wife’s misconduct, the husband will not be responsible for any child support.
**Clause Three:** The wife shall not spread rumors about the husband or any future spouse of his in any form. Otherwise, she will be held legally responsible.
Every single word felt like a slap in the face, mocking the three years of marriage Nan Xin had endured.
She pushed the agreement back.
“I didn’t steal anything, and I won’t sign this. If Fu Beichen wants me to sign, then he can give me the share I’m entitled to.”
“Miss Nan, I suggest you think carefully. A ring worth one hundred million yuan is enough to send you to prison for a very long time if you’re convicted.”
The lawyer’s tone was confident, as though he had already prepared everything thoroughly.
Nan Xin looked at him and gave a mocking smile.
“I didn’t do it. Even if President Fu has influence everywhere, surely he can’t fabricate evidence out of thin air?”
“Miss Nan, if President Fu dared to report this to the police, it means he’s absolutely certain of his position. After all, you were husband and wife. President Fu doesn’t want things to become any uglier than they already are.”
Nan Xin pursed her lips.
She knew the lawyer wasn’t bluffing.
Fu Beichen had managed to rise to his current position, and she had to admit that he was capable and calculating. Without absolute confidence, he wouldn’t have brought such an unfair divorce agreement to force her into signing it.
After a long silence, Nan Xin picked up the pen.
Could it be that she had already lost before she had even begun?
