Of course, Su Chen understood what Su Zhenxing meant by saying that specifically to him.
But Su Chen clearly remembered that in his previous life, the moment Su Qiqi shouted that he had stolen the watch, Su Zhenxing had immediately convicted him of being a thief. He had never once said anything about "family scandals should not be made public." Even later, when the Su Family members deliberately or casually mentioned the matter in social settings, Su Zhenxing had never said such a thing. He allowed Su Chen's reputation as a thief to spread farther and farther, until more and more people knew about it, eventually turning him into someone everyone despised, disliked, and shunned.
Now that Su Qiqi was the thief, Su Zhenxing suddenly knew that "family scandals should not be made public"?!
Heh, heh.
Su Chen of this life would not let Su Zhenxing call the shots.
Not only would he firmly place the label of thief on Su Qiqi's head, he would make her reputation as a thief spread far and wide.
Su Chen was determined to make Su Qiqi experience this kind of suffering.
But Su Chen knew that he could not call the police inside the Su Family Villa. Su Zhenxing would definitely join forces with the other Su Family members to stop him and prevent him from reporting it.
Then he could only run out of the Su Family Villa before calling the police!
Once he was outside the Su Family Villa, who could stop him from calling the police?!
Su Chen knew that even if he called the police, given the Su Family's power and status, they would definitely smooth this matter over in the end. Su Qiqi would not truly be punished.
But Su Chen's goal was not actually to have the police sentence Su Qiqi.
For the crimes Su Qiqi had committed against him in his previous life, Su Chen would take revenge himself.
All Su Chen needed was for the police to respond and come to the Su Family Villa to investigate. That way, there would be a police record of the Su Family's Second Daughter, Su Qiqi, stealing her father Su Zhenxing's watch. This would definitely spread as a bizarre piece of gossip, and then he could give Su Qiqi a little more publicity.
The label of thief would absolutely shine like a halo over Su Qiqi for the rest of her life.
Su Chen pretended not to hear Su Zhenxing. He painfully yanked at his hair, lowered his head, put on an agonized expression, hunched over, and let out a tortured roar.
"Su Qiqi stole the watch!"
"Su Qiqi not only stole the watch, she framed me for it too!"
"Su Qiqi, why are you setting me up like this?!"
"Ahhhhh!"
"I feel so terrible!"
As he roared and roared, Su Chen suddenly bellowed, leaped out of the encirclement of the Su Family members, and ran toward the gates of the Su Family Villa.
The Su Family members were all dumbfounded!
What kind of madness was Su Chen acting up now?!
The moment Su Chen ran out of the gates of the Su Family Villa, he took out his phone and called the police, reporting that a Patek Philippe watch worth five million yuan had been stolen from the Su Family.
While waiting for the police to arrive at the Su Family Villa, Su Chen took a photo of the Patek Philippe watch in his hand and posted it on Weibo.
"Is it the depravity of human nature, or the loss of morality?"
"A watch worth five million yuan was stolen from Hai City's richest family, only for the culprit to be the Su Family's Second Daughter?!"
Faced with a report from Hai City's richest family involving stolen property worth five million yuan, the Hai City police responded quickly. In less than fifteen minutes, a police car came screaming up to the Su Family Villa.
Su Chen, who had been waiting at the villa entrance, immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Two police officers got out of the police car. One was around forty years old, while the other was a young man in his twenties.
A classic veteran-and-rookie pairing.
The old police officer looked at Su Chen with a sharp gaze.
He was a student wearing a high school uniform.
"You're Su Chen? You were the one who called the police?"
Su Chen put on a miserable face and nodded, gesturing for the officers to enter the Su Family Villa.
"Yes, I was the one who called. My dad, Su Zhenxing's, watch was stolen. It was worth five million yuan."
The police officers nodded and did not ask further questions, instead following Su Chen into the Su Family Villa.
After all, Su Chen was still a high school student. It was better to discuss this sort of matter with the adults in the household.
When Su Chen led the police into the Su Family Villa, he saw that the Su Family members had already taken seats on the sofa. While they were not exactly laughing and joking, the atmosphere was undeniably warm and cozy.
Su Qiqi was lying in Liu Yanran's arms and crying. Liu Yanran gently patted Su Qiqi's shoulder to comfort her, while Su Lili and Su Mu stood beside Su Qiqi, softly consoling her.
As for Su Zhenxing, he sat silently on another sofa. He neither comforted Su Qiqi nor reprimanded her.
When Su Chen saw this, he truly laughed.
These people wanted to let this matter slide so easily!
Had they asked him, the victim?
Had they gotten the victim's consent?
Su Chen immediately began wailing loudly.
"Dad, the police are here!"
"Don't make things difficult!"
"Let's listen to the police. They can decide how she should be punished!"
"After all, Su Qiqi stole your five-million-yuan watch!"
"Five million yuan!"
"What an expensive watch!"
"Even if Su Qiqi liked this watch, she still couldn't steal it!"
With Su Chen's shout echoing through the house, the Su Family members finally saw the two police officers following him inside and froze.
They really were police officers!
The police had actually come!
No one had expected Su Chen to really call the police!
So Su Chen had run out earlier to report it?!
Su Zhenxing immediately flew into a rage.
He had already told Su Chen not to call the police!
Yet Su Chen had turned around and brought the police right to their door!
Su Chen was completely ignoring his words!
Su Qiqi, meanwhile, shuddered all over in fright.
The police would not really take her away, would they?!
This was obviously just family members fooling around. Why were the police taking it seriously enough to come to the Su Family Villa?!
The police officers stepped forward from behind Su Chen and solemnly assured Su Zhenxing.
"Mr. Su, please rest assured."
"We will definitely treat this case as the Police Station's top priority."
"No matter who was so utterly heartless as to steal your watch, our Police Station will certainly arrest the culprit and bring them to justice as soon as possible."
Seeing the police officers' grave expressions, Su Zhenxing choked up. Just as he was about to explain that this was a misunderstanding—
Su Chen suddenly rushed over, grabbed one of the officers' hands, and began praising him with a broad smile.
"The police officers of Hai City really are outstanding!"
"Both your attitude and your abilities rank among the best in the country."
"But, police officer, there's no need to worry."
"Our Su Family has already caught the thief, with both the culprit and stolen goods accounted for."
"Police officer, you only need to follow police procedure and take the person back for questioning."
As he spoke, Su Chen pulled the stunned police officer over to Su Qiqi, pointed at her, and formally reported to the police.
"Police officer, this woman, Su Qiqi, stole her dad Su Zhenxing's watch."
"I saw it with my own eyes. Su Qiqi was bold enough to put the stolen watch into her pocket."
"I caught her."
Su Chen raised the watch in his hand for the police to see.
"Police officer, this is the stolen watch."
"Police officer, both the thief and the stolen property are right here."
"Please uphold the law impartially and take both the thief and the stolen property back to the Police Station."
