Get on with your own business and don’t waste time here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd followed the officer’s instructions and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some still wanted to watch the commotion, but since the police spoke up, it wasn’t appropriate to linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Susu bringing in officers, Ye Chen thought about slipping away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could take more than a few steps, Zhou Susu called out, \"Sir, please stay. We’ll need to ask you about the situation later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen felt troubled, as he had many deliveries left, but now couldn’t leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he said nothing, considering it a good deed to help the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Susu pointed at the store with broken glass and asked the flat-top man, \"Did you do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man with the flat top remained silent while the heavily made-up woman approached with a pitiful look, saying, \"Beautiful officer, my husband had his reasons; we’re the victims here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you’re victims, you can’t act out like this. Please come with us to the station,\" Zhou Susu said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she signaled the male officer beside her to take them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavily made-up woman saw the police trying to arrest her husband and began to act obstinately: \"Why arrest my husband? We’re victims, you should apprehend the culprit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went berserk, trying to push the officers away from the flat-top man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you keep this up, I’ll charge you with obstructing justice,\" Zhou Susu warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavily made-up woman couldn’t care less, persistently shoving the male officers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to gender differences, the male officers hesitated to touch her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhou Susu stepped forward and handcuffed the heavily made-up woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining male officers also cuffed the flat-top man and took them both to the police car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple never imagined things would turn out like this; they originally intended to ruin the girl’s store reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, they ended up in custody themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s truly a case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen and the girl naturally went to the police station for statements too, as they were part of the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the heavily made-up woman entered the interrogation room, she demanded to call the headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what the police asked, they refused to say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this matter concerned headquarters’ reputation, they soon sent lawyers to understand the situation from the couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headquarters-sent lawyer introduced themselves: \"Ms. Chen, we are the company-appointed attorneys, I’m Lawyer Zhang, and this is Lawyer Zhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the company had sent lawyers, the heavily made-up woman perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the headquarters were involved, things would be taken care of, and they surely wouldn’t be detained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, lawyers,\" the heavily made-up woman greeted warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawyer Zhang said to her, \"Ms. Chen, please tell us the whole story truthfully and don’t hide anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The moment I mention it, I can’t help but feel sad. My son suffered food poisoning after drinking from that shop and is now hospitalized—a pitiful child indeed,\" she sobbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued, \"And now we’re both arrested, with nobody to look after our child; I’m truly anxious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lawyers were moved by her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because their child was poisoned by another store, the couple’s extreme actions to seek justice were understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavily made-up woman grew more emotional, stirring sympathy in those who listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she finished, Lawyer Zhou expressed anger: \"Ms. Chen, rest assured we will get justice for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you very much,\" the heavily made-up woman said, wiping her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the police were taking Ye Chen and the girl’s statements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen recounted the incident as a witness and suggested Zhou Susu retrieve footage from the couple’s ice drink shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth lay in the surveillance, but when police arrived at Pang Guoguo Ice Drink Shop and checked the footage, they found it was deliberately deleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavily made-up woman and flat-top man dared to make such a scene because they had planned everything out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without evidence, the police would have to release them, and no one would suspect they were shameless enough to wager their own child’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the station, Ye Chen learned the footage was deleted, realizing why the couple seemed utterly fearless—it was all meticulously planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Susu looked at Ye Chen, worried: \"Ye Chen, what now? Without evidence, we have to release them; even if they smashed the store, they did it for their son. It’s understandable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl grew anxious hearing this and swore to Zhou Susu: \"Officer, the ingredients in my store have all passed health checks. It’s impossible for food poisoning to happen, please believe me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Susu might not trust the girl entirely, but she had complete faith in Ye Chen’s word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, without evidence, there’s no way to charge the couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After meeting the couple, the lawyers returned to headquarters and reported the situation accurately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Manager Cao of Pang Guoguo headquarters smiled: \"Looks like Round and Fat’s company will go under due to this food poisoning incident; who would visit them again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Round and Fat and Pang Guoguo offered nearly identical products, but Round and Fat’s sales far exceeded Pang Guoguo’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, business rivals are enemies; Pang Guoguo always looked for an opportunity to take down their competitor, and now the opportunity has arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-03T08:12:54.395Z","2026-06-03T08:12:59.176Z",1,"novelbin.me","7c6bb44b69563493372f86fea605a69900ac3419165605a0f42fc680b3148ff1","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-736","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-734",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
