After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 154: One Fifty-four: Hitting the Nail on the Head

Chapter 154 -One Fifty-four: Hitting the Nail on the Head

“He Qing, do you think I don’t understand the law?” Xia Chuyi scolded even more severely, “By making such false accusations, I could sue you for defamation!”

With her imposing manner, He Qing immediately felt weakened.

“This…” He Qing quickly glanced at Zhang Xiaoling.

It was she who had instigated this!

If it weren’t for her saying she had connections at the Police Station, would he have foolishly reported Xia Chuyi?

Zhang Xiaoling was momentarily at a loss for words and looked at the two police officers.

From the reaction of the two police officers and He Qing, she realized that Xia Chuyi was probably right,

“You!” Zhang Xiaoling felt furious inside.

This bumpkin actually knew the law!

She bit her lip, realizing that her wishful thinking was most likely going to be in vain, and couldn’t help but shift her gaze around Xia Chuyi’s shop.

Suddenly, she said, “Even if we dismiss this case, what about her store operation? Are all her procedures complete? I remember that this place was a rice noodle shop not long ago!”

Xia Chuyi: …

Well, this offhand remark by Zhang Xiaoling really hit the nail on the head.

She indeed hadn’t processed the business procedures because the rice noodle shop owner’s operating permit hadn’t expired yet.

Usually, when a shop is transferred, the operating permit is also transferred.

However, this is a legal loophole.

Strictly speaking, the name on the operating permit isn’t hers, so she has no right to use this permit.

Xia Chuyi thought for a moment and said, “I’ll go with you to the Police Station.”

Everybody looked at her in surprise.

A flash of coldness in her eyes, Xia Chuyi said, “I think it’s necessary to clear up this assault incident.”

With that one sentence, she pulled everyone’s attention away from the operating procedures.

Taking off her apron and handing it to Xia Chengzong, she stared into his eyes and said, “Second brother, I’ll leave the shop matters to you.”

“Let’s go,” she said and then turned to the police.

Zhang Xiaoling didn’t understand why Xia Chuyi suddenly agreed to go to the Police Station, but as long as they could take her away, her purpose was achieved, so she nodded and said to the police officers, “Let’s go.”

“Older sister!” Zhao Xiaogui called out anxiously.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Wait for me to come back,” Xia Chuyi comforted her cousin.

She already had an idea of what might happen at the Police Station.

For beating up He Qing, she wasn’t guilty of a crime; it was at most a civil dispute.

If the other party tried to fabricate charges against her, she also had come up with countermeasures.

Only the matter of the operating permit was more troublesome.

This could truly be considered illegal operation, also known as profiteering—a major crime.

Before leaving, she looked meaningfully at Xia Chengzong.

After Xia Chuyi was taken away, Zhao Xiaogui, a teenager, suddenly panicked and grabbed Xia Chengzong’s arm, saying, “What should we do now?”

Xia Chengzong’s face was stern as he tightly held Xia Chuyi’s apron—the money Xia Chuyi collected was all inside.

When she handed the apron to him earlier, Xia Chuyi intentionally stuffed her bulging wallet towards his hand.

He understood that Xia Chuyi was telling him to take the opportunity while she was being taken away to hurry to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce to change the name on the operating permit.

As for whether the Bureau of Industry and Commerce would agree?

She had quite a business turnover today.

This matter wasn’t difficult to handle; following Brother Qiang, he had contacts with many people on both the legal and illegal sides, and had managed many matters.

He just wondered why this girl trusted him so much? Giving him all the business turnover without fearing he might steal it?

Brother Qiang never handed him money.

Shaking his head, he grasped the apron and said to Zhao Xiaogui, “I’ll step out for a bit.”

Leaving Zhao Xiaogui alone, on the verge of tears.

He was still just a kid!
