"Her acting was indeed masterful."
Seeing the whole process of his conversation with that woman, Tang Ming had to admit that she was highly professional.
"The incident has already happened, and now Tang Ming is a victim, and the bar is equally a victim. According to our regulations, we can initiate a case investigation and pursue that woman suspected of major fraud."
After a mont of silence, Lin Xue slowly spoke, "Allowing that woman to take away so much alcohol was a mismanagent on the bar’s part. Since you knew the drinks were valuable, you should have operated on a cash-and-carry basis, not letting the person picking up the goods leave and making it difficult for those left behind at the scene. Am I right?"
"Exactly, Xue’er is competent. She clarified the matter in just a few sentences."
Tan Ruoxi nodded repeatedly, giving a thumbs up in admiration, "After all, it’s your store’s problem, not Tang Ming’s fault."
"But... Officer, what should we do?"
On hearing this, Bai Chi was almost crying. Tang Ming had previously agreed to pay, but they had stopped him.
"What else can we do but quickly catch that woman and minimize your losses?"
Lin Xue sighed, then had Tang Ming and Bai Chi help describe the woman’s appearance.
"She has accomplices."
As Tang Ming was describing the woman, Lin Xue suddenly shouted.
"Who is it?"
Tang Ming rushed to the monitor imdiately, adjusting the screen quickly. Through various surveillance caras at the mall, he found the last location of that woman. She placed the wine in the trunk of a white Toyota Prado, then got into the passenger seat!
After replaying the video several tis, Tang Ming couldn’t see who the driver was. The person probably intentionally avoided the caras.
"Judging by the license plate, it should be from the province’s city. Could this be a scamr from the province coming here to swindle?"
Lin Xue looked for a long while then uncertainly glanced at Bai Chi.
"That... is also possible. That guy took away so much alcohol in one go; clearly, she didn’t plan to visit again. And after this incident, it would be hard for her to remain in Songlan City. She must be from out of town."
Bai Chi nodded, looking pitifully at Lin Xue, "Officer, you have to catch her. I can’t afford a loss of millions."
"Ruoxi, contact headquarters imdiately and have them track down this vehicle to see if they can intercept them."
Lin Xue imdiately issued orders to Tan Ruoxi, then told Bai Chi to go back and wait for news.
Tang Ming stared at the monitor, firmly morizing the car’s appearance. He was certain that the scamr was sent by soone who held a grudge against him, but he couldn’t rember who it might be at the mont.
After handling the official business, Lin Xue and Tang Ming left the bar.
"Tang Ming, I’m sorry."
After they left the bar, Lin Xue stopped, looking sincerely at Tang Ming.
"Ah? Why apologize? You’ve done well this ti, at least you didn’t arrest indiscriminately. I’m grateful for that."
Tang Ming smiled at Lin Xue. It was the first ti they had t since he returned, and he felt entirely different about her now.
"I apologize mainly for two reasons. First, I was indeed wrong! Every ti sothing happened, I would prejudge you as the villain, but in reality, you’re a good person. I’m really sorry."
Lin Xue sincerely admitted her mistake, recalling past events, she suddenly felt very sorry for Tang Ming.
"I accept your apology, because back then you really wronged a lot."
Tang Ming smiled, feeling a sense of relief as if a wrongful accusation had been cleared.
"On the other hand, about the apology... before you disappeared when you ca to see , I didn’t know it was because your Cultivation was ruined that you left Songlan City."
Lin Xue hesitated for a mont, her eyes apologetic as she looked at Tang Ming, "You considered a friend, and even at that ti, you didn’t forget to co and say goodbye to , yet I treated you poorly, I’m really sorry for that."
"Well, I accept this apology too, but all these are things of the past now. Just make sure to distinguish right from wrong in the future, and that will be enough."
Tang Ming smiled again, feeling much lighter inside. He had not sought out Lin Xue since his return mainly because her attitude had indeed made him angry. Now that things were spoken openly, he felt as if a knot in his heart had been untied.
"Don’t worry, from now on, I will make sure to clarify right from wrong before taking any responsibility."
Lin Xue nodded solemnly, feeling a strange sensation in her heart as she hadn’t sincerely admitted a mistake and taken advice like this since she was young.
"To know your faults and be able to change them is most comndable, indeed a teachable mont!"
Tang Ming, with his hands behind his back, walked towards the mall, not turning back as he imparted this lesson.
"You... give you so color, and you open a dye workshop. Just don’t let catch you ssing up, or I’ll still hold you accountable," Lin Xue yelled, watching Tang Ming’s audacious departure.
"Heh, then I’ll be waiting," Tang Ming waved without turning back, then went to find Liu ngting.
Liu ngting, Li Xiaoli, and Chen Cang shopped till late before they each headed ho.
The two won imdiately took their shopping haul upstairs to try on their new purchases as soon as they returned to the villa, while Tang Ming dashed to the kitchen, being extrely hungry.
In the bedroom, Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli continuously tried on a batch of newly purchased lingerie. An inexplicable second developnt of their bodies and the Washing Marrow and Chopping Bones had altered their physiques slightly, necessitating the purchase of many new items.
Only today, with Chen Cang accompanying them, were they finally able to solve this troubleso issue.
"ng ng sis, you were right, Xiao Cang Cang’s taste is not bad. This pink bra actually looks really pretty on ," Li Xiaoli admired herself in the mirror as she unceasingly praised.
Liu ngting looked up at Li Xiaoli, getting montarily blinded by the ’headlights’, then she helplessly pursed her lips and continued organizing the newly bought sleepwear, "Actually, Chen Cang turning out this way isn’t so bad. At least he won’t cling to anymore, and we get to have another girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?"
Li Xiaoli chuckled blankly, suddenly jumped onto the bed, her expression turning serious as she stared at Liu ngting, "ng ng sis, did you just say Xiao Cang Cang is now considered our girlfriend?"
"You scared ."
Liu ngting glared at Li Xiaoli, continuing to organize her clothes indifferently, "It was Xiao Cang Cang himself who said that. He wants to be our best girlfriend. How else could we let him accompany us to buy so many intimate personal items?"
"Oh no, this is serious," Li Xiaoli said with a nervous slap on her thigh, suddenly recalling a very unsettling rumor.
"What’s wrong? Are you worried Chen Cang will steal away from you?"
Liu ngting laughed teasingly.
