My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2086: She Committed a Crime

She believed she hadn’t done anything suspicious, nor broken any laws. In fact, she was in the limelight because of her recent admission, so at this juncture, the Councilman Faction shouldn’t be blatantly targeting her.

"Please come with us, miss. We don’t want to use force on you. There are some matters that require your cooperation in the investigation." The person who walked in with the soldiers spoke sternly and cautiously, clearly the captain of the operation.

Yiyi mocked, "Cooperate with the investigation? Investigate what, exactly, that requires so many armed soldiers to arrest me? At the very least, I have the right to know why I’m being arrested, don’t I?"

They claimed it was just an invitation for investigation, but looking at the scene, perhaps being taken away was not that simple; it might be hard to return.

"You’ll know once you get there. We can’t divulge specific details. We hope you’ll cooperate; otherwise, we won’t be polite." The other side was tight-lipped, unwilling to reveal anything.

Yiyi immediately understood that there was likely some secret involved, perhaps related to her status as the adopted daughter of Governor Yun. The other side seemed to want to act discreetly, not drawing attention.

Who? Who ordered these people to arrest me?

It probably wasn’t just a simple targeting.

"I’m willing to cooperate, but I hope you don’t involve my mother." Yiyi was aware that in this situation, willingness wasn’t up to her, only hoping Madam Aisha wouldn’t be dragged in, alleviating her worries.

Moreover, she also wanted to know what exactly happened.

The captain said, "If you’re willing to cooperate, we naturally won’t make things difficult for your mother. However, to ensure the investigation proceeds smoothly without interference, we must ask the Madam to stay at a place we’ve arranged. Of course, we guarantee her safety." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Yiyi’s face changed slightly. Isn’t this a disguised way of putting Madam Aisha under house arrest to threaten her? And with Madam Aisha in their hands, no one would know about her being secretly taken away, leaving her with no way to seek help?

Is it to completely cut off her contact with the outside world for some secret purpose?

Even if she couldn’t figure it out now, she realized this was likely a dangerous situation for her.

But looking at the soldiers surrounding her, with such a show of force, there were likely ambushes outside as well; she couldn’t possibly handle so many attackers alone or safely take Madam Aisha away.

"Fine, I’ll do as you say." Given the circumstances, it was best not to alert the enemy.

"Yiyi..." Madam Aisha’s eyes were filled with anxiety and worry. She also realized that Yiyi would be in trouble going with these people, extremely anxious.

Yiyi gave her a reassuring look, signaling her not to speak further.

Then the two followed the people out the door. A few black cars, very low-profile, were parked downstairs. They got into the cars and were separated at some place—Yiyi was taken away, and Madam Aisha was taken to a residence.

Yiyi was taken to the police station. She initially thought those who arrested her might be from some intelligence agency but didn’t expect it to be the formal police station. Being taken to such a place was generally for those who committed crimes.

She couldn’t understand what crime she had committed to be so officially apprehended.

But soon, the mystery was solved.

"You’ve been accused of theft." In the interrogation room, the interrogator sitting across from her, holding a recorder, had a serious expression.
