The hall fell silent again.

But Fang Qingye suddenly laughed, “Interesting, very interesting!”

He squinted at Ye Wanlan, feeling that her figure seemed familiar.

Could it be that he had seen her before…

Where?

“File a false alarm?” Fang Qingya’s eyes were filled with unmistakable scorn, “I have evidence, would I file a false alarm? Fine, tell me what the consequences are. You think you know the law, huh?”

The male policeman spoke calmly, “According to regulations, for actions such as filing false alarms or intentionally exaggerating police reports to waste police resources, the police may legally detain the related individuals for 5 to 10 days.”

Instantly, Fang Qingya was at a loss for words, her heart also filled with panic.

She gritted her teeth, “But I did not file a false alarm!”

“Miss Ye, I know this was not your intention,” Sheng Yunyi lifted her head, speaking with worry, “It’s just that this painting is very important to me, I…”

Before she could finish, she couldn’t help but choke up again.

Zhou Hechen’s expression was ice-cold, “Ye Wanlan, you’ve really done enough!”

When it came to Sheng Yunyi, he would not help Ye Wanlan clean up her mess this time, no matter what.

“I have an alibi,” Ye Wanlan said, ignoring him. She turned her head, “Police sister, they have no evidence and assume it’s me, it might even be a false flag. Does that count as filing a false alarm?”

The female officer nodded, “It does, where is the surveillance footage?”

“What are you pretending for?” Fang Qingya had not yet calmed down, “You clearly know that the third floor of the comprehensive building of Zone 1 has been renovated, and the only surveillance is at the staircase entrance.”

Ye Wanlan remained composed, “The surveillance footage is on my computer, I need to go home.”

“Alright,” said the female officer, “we’ll go with you.”

“We’re coming too!” Fang Qingya looked at Ye Wanlan disdainfully, “We might find her tools for committing the crime. Yunyi, let’s go.”

Sheng Yunyi was still a bit stunned.

There was other surveillance?

She bit her lip and got into the car with Zhou Hechen’s support.

At this time, the three from the Lin Family happened to be away.

Cheng Qingli was at the entrance of the apartment, and upon seeing Ye Wanlan and the two police officers, she saw Zhou Hechen and the others, “Sister Lan, they…”

She had received a call from Ye Wanlan and hurried over; she did not expect it to be another scenario involving the young masters and mistresses of Jiang Circle.

Why were these people clinging onto Ye Wanlan like a pack of dogs?

Ye Wanlan shook her head slightly to signify that everything was alright, she took out her keys to open the door, “Qingli, there’s a video folder on my computer, the code is 0293, open it.”

“Okay,” Cheng Qingli immediately went to the study to get the computer.

Suddenly, Fang Qingya said, “So, you even stole Yunyi’s painting!”

She was pointing at a painting of flowers and birds hanging above the sofa in the living room.

The others also looked up.

Fang Qinghan’s gaze suddenly shifted, his eyes fixated on the painting, blazing intensely.

Ye Wanlan said coldly, “Sort out your thoughts before speaking to me.”

What an idiot.

“Qingya, this is Miss Ye’s home, so naturally, the painting is hers too,” Fang Qinghan pressed Fang Qingya’s shoulder, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

“Big brother, I’ve been telling you; you don’t understand her. Last month, she wanted to steal Yunyi’s painting but didn’t succeed,” Fang Qingya was aggressive, “Given that, then tell me, where did this painting come from.”

Ye Wanlan spoke indifferently, “Picked it up from the trash can.”

She was not lying.

The Great Master of the Daning, Imperial Tutor Han Yunsheng, had taught her the art of painting and personally instructed her in the techniques. His demands on her were always rigorous.

If she painted like this, it would be thrown away, and she would also face a spanking on the palm of her hand.

This was something she had casually painted five years ago. She originally planned to throw it into the trash can, but in the end, Lin Huaijin had picked it out of pity and had it framed and hung on the wall.

“Miss Fang, don’t you think your question is very neurotic?” Cheng Qingli, who came out holding a laptop, was shocked at Fang Qingya’s shamelessness, “What does the origin of this painting have to do with you? Could it be that your sister is so domineering that because she learns to paint, no one else in the world is allowed to?”

Sheng Yunyi was skilled in landscape and oil paintings, while this painting was of flowers and birds, and the brushstrokes and style were completely different from Sheng Yunyi’s.

“Yunyi…” Sheng Yunyi’s smile was a bit forced, “This isn’t my work.”

Fang Qingya was somewhat embarrassed, but still assertive, “I knew she wanted to imitate you, but it’s useless.”

Since Sheng Yunyi returned to the country three months ago, she had been targeted by Ye Wanlan. Sheng did not believe that Ye Wanlan would give up so easily just when she was about to leverage on Zhou Hechen to squeeze into the Jiang Circle.

What personality change that she’s no longer chasing Zhou Hechen?

It was clearly playing cat and mouse.

“Imitate what?” Cheng Qingli retorted viciously, “Just by hanging a painting, you call it imitating? Why don’t you just burn down the art market? Do you think you’re such a hot commodity that everyone wants to learn from you?”

Our Sister Lan is unique in the world!

Fang Qingya was so angry that her face turned red, “You…”

“Officers, this is a video from outside the door of the psychological counseling room,” Ye Wanlan instructed Cheng Qingli to open the surveillance.

The studio was diagonally to the right of the psychological counseling room, and the camera had clearly caught Ye Wanlan going in and out of the counseling room without ever setting foot in the studio.

On the contrary, it captured another person, unidentifiable as male or female, wearing a hat and mask, who went into the studio. This person stayed for a minute and then quickly came out, acting all sneaky.

Clearly, the destruction of Sheng Yunyi’s painting had nothing to do with Ye Wanlan from start to finish.

This was a ludicrous frame-up.

“…”

A dead silence.

Ye Wanlan looked up, “Do you see clearly if it was me who destroyed your painting? Hmm? Miss Sheng?”

The blood drained from Sheng Yunyi’s face, her lips quivered as if she had been slapped out of nowhere.

Her body trembled, and she grabbed Zhou Hechen’s hand, “No, it’s not… ”

Recalling how he had been so certain earlier that Ye Wanlan was the one who destroyed the painting, Xu Li was also extremely embarrassed.

His face swelled red, and he stammered without making a sound.

Ye Wanlan’s gaze was calm and undisturbed, “You really don’t learn, do you? You disappoint me.”

She had thought that the incident with the Qin Family would teach these people a lesson, but it was a pity.

Fang Qingya couldn’t believe it, and she couldn’t help but let out a scream, “Where did you get this surveillance video? The central monitoring room doesn’t have this footage at all!”

There’s a private camera outside the counseling room’s door?

“Alright, alright, the matter is over, and everyone’s happy; the real culprit has been found,” Xu Li hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over, “Since this has nothing to do with you, Ye Wanlan, there’s nothing much to fuss about anymore.”

“Fine, I’ll just act like nothing ever happened this time,” Fang Qingya said reluctantly, “But you better remember, stay away from Yunyi and her paintings in the future, not everyone you provoke is someone you can afford to mess with.”

Zhou Hechen, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Ye Wanlan with a complex expression, his face changing several times.

Was it really not her doing this time?

“No, the matter is not over yet, and I won’t pretend like nothing has happened,” Ye Wanlan said indifferently, “I want to call the police.”
