Zhang Yuanyuan was in tears; he had been the light in her darkest hour.
Zhou Cheng's words were not sharp; in fact, they were quite calm and relaxed.
But it left Zhang Yuanyuan stunned.
She looked at Zhou Cheng, her eyes full of surprise!
At this moment, she still felt that after Zhou Cheng investigated and found out she had invested all her money into her startup, he had deliberately set a trap for Zhang Shuai to come here to eat!
Then he was using the consequences of them being unable to pay the bill to threaten her!
She felt that this was a conspiracy by Zhou Cheng to get her.
Therefore, she believed that now that she had conceded and was even willing to marry him,
he should be happy, perhaps even ecstatic!
How could he be so calm, and even still insist on arresting Zhang Shuai!
"Zhou Cheng, stop pretending. I've already conceded, what else do you want from me!" Zhang Yuanyuan said again.
Zhou Cheng: "Huh? You..."
It seems the current situation is, what do you want to do, right?
"Madam, I am just the police officer here to mediate. Why do you keep saying such strange things to me?" Zhou Cheng said helplessly.
"Zhou Cheng!" Zhang Yuanyuan shouted at Zhou Cheng!
"They are all my family!"
Sigh. Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue.
Zhou Cheng didn't continue to pay attention to Zhang Yuanyuan. He looked at Manager Wu and said:
"Manager Wu, go to my room and bring me the two documents from the top of the safe!"
As Zhou Cheng spoke, he took out a black card and handed it to Manager Wu!
This hotel had a room exclusive to Zhou Cheng!
"Alright, Second... uh, Police Officer Zhou."
Manager Wu quickly took Zhou Cheng's black card!
Subsequently, Zhou Cheng looked at Zhang Quan and Liu Xi.
"Old Zhang, Old Liu, arrest those two immediately!" As he spoke, Zhou Cheng looked at Zhang Shuai's Parents!
As soon as Zhou Cheng said this, it was like a raging storm.
It shocked everyone present!
Especially Zhang Quan and Liu Xi, they were reminded of the scene where they arrested Li Suyuan's parents at the Police Station earlier!
"Zhou Cheng, don't do anything rash!..." Zheng Qunxian immediately spoke up.
He was worried that Zhou Cheng, having been scolded by Zhang Shuai's Parents, might be hot-headed and settle personal scores!
You have to know that there were many people watching here!
"Brother Zheng, don't worry!" Zhou Cheng said in a deep voice.
Zhang Shuai's friends were all astonished to see that Zhou Cheng had actually ordered people to arrest Zhang Shuai's Parents directly!
"What's going on? Isn't it just that we didn't pay for our meal? Even though they are Zhang Shuai's Parents, they didn't do anything wrong, right? Why are they being arrested?"
"Damn, this police officer is definitely settling a personal score. I'm already recording a video."
"Right, right. We must make him waive our bill, otherwise, I will definitely post this online and file a complaint against him!"
"Zhang Shuai, didn't you say that once your parents arrived, he would definitely regret it? Now he's having your parents arrested!"
"I recognize him! He's that very popular police officer online who even arrested someone's lawyer earlier!"
"Damn it, you've screwed us over, Zhang Shuai. Guys, hurry up and call your parents, everyone chip in, otherwise we're done for! Last time he directly arrested a whole family, he didn't even spare the lawyer!"
"If he arrests Zhang Shuai's whole family, isn't that just wiping out their whole family again?"
Zhang Shuai's classmates were all talking at once, and since they were all young, they were shouting quite loudly.
This attracted quite a few hotel guests to come and watch the show.
Although these guests were wealthy, wealthy people are just as prone to gossip.
As for Zhang Shuai and Zhang Yuanyuan, they were even more surprised!
"Zhou Cheng, on what grounds are you arresting my parents?" Zhang Shuai shouted at Zhou Cheng!
Then he didn't forget to shout: "Everyone, hurry up and record the process! This police officer is settling a personal score! Just because my sister doesn't want to be with him, he's using these tactics!"
"Zhou Cheng, I've already agreed to marry you, what else do you want?"
"Why do you keep hounding my family?"
"Why won't you let me go!"
Zhang Yuanyuan said, her tone laced with sobs.
She really couldn't understand; in her Previous Self, Zhou Cheng had restricted her.
He restricted her from associating with her Best Friend, restricted her from contacting her family, leaving her without friendship or family affection!
In this life, after her Rebirth, Zhou Cheng was doing the same thing again.
He was targeting Zhang Shuai even more, and now he even wanted to arrest Zhang Shuai's whole family!
"Family? Hahaha!" Zhou Cheng's lips curled slightly, with a touch of mockery and self-deprecation!
"Zhang Yuanyuan, I'm afraid you still don't know what the so-called family you speak of has done to you!"
Zhou Cheng knew that the time for him to earn a big reward had come!
Zhang Yuanyuan listened to Zhou Cheng's words, looking at him with confused eyes!
She didn't know what Zhou Cheng meant by these words.
And when Zhang Shuai's Parents heard Zhou Cheng's words, they were already a bit panicked inside.
They opened their mouths to stop Zhou Cheng, but how could they possibly stop him!
At this moment, Manager Wu came jogging over, holding the documents Zhou Cheng had mentioned!
"Second Young Master, here!" Manager Wu blurted out.
Zhou Cheng couldn't be bothered to correct him.
He took the items from Manager Wu's hands and opened one of the files.
After seeing the contents, he held it up!
"This one is the detailed compensation for your mother's car accident! According to the calculations at the time, the car insurance and the driver, in order to obtain a settlement, compensated you a total of 1.04 million!"
But what was the result? The family you speak of must have told you that the driver ran away and didn't pay a single cent in compensation, right!"
"As for the money, of course, it was all embezzled by them!"
"They didn't even spend a single penny of this money on you!"
"Do you think that after your mother passed away, you were able to continue your studies because of them?"
"You're wrong. It was because of me! At that time, they were already preparing to withdraw you from school and had already found a sweatshop for you to work in!"
"It was my appearance that saved you! All of your high school and university tuition and living expenses were actually paid by me!"
"To make your living conditions a bit better, I even gave them a lot of extra money! These are the chat records and transfer records from back then! The house you live in now was bought by me!"
Zhou Cheng said this quickly, without much emotional fluctuation.
Because this was all done by his Previous Self, that simp!
According to the memories in Zhou Cheng's mind, his Previous Self met Zhang Yuanyuan on the street during his first year of high school, and subsequently experienced some of the tropes common in idol dramas.
Then he started his simp mission, transferred out of a noble school, and deliberately became a classmate with Zhang Yuanyuan! He was always protecting her!
But it's fine now; it's just the right time to cash in.
This family spent so much of his Previous Self's money; now is the perfect time to refine it.
Becoming nourishment for his own progress!
Zhang Yuanyuan listened to Zhou Cheng's words, her eyes gradually widening!
And Zhang Shuai's Parents, seeing that Zhou Cheng was completely different from before,
actually spoke about what happened back then directly.
This made them feel incomparably panicked!
"Yuan Yuan, don't believe him! This is all made up by him!"
"That's right, Zhang Yuanyuan, don't you know how we've treated you all these years?"
Zhang Yuanyuan's mind was very dazed and incredibly chaotic; she couldn't believe the truth was actually like this!
She rushed up and snatched the documents from Zhou Cheng's hand.
She opened them and flipped through them one by one!
The detailed compensation for her mother's car accident!
The chat records and transfer records between Zhou Cheng and Zhang Shuai's Parents were all on it!
Were they fake?
But these things, as long as one wanted to check, they could be verified; why would Zhou Cheng bother to fake them!
So, after her mother passed away, the one who truly treated her like family!
And treated her like the closest, most intimate person!
Was actually Zhou Cheng?!!!
"Auntie, why didn't Yuan Yuan come to school today?"
"Her? Her mother died in a car accident, so she doesn't have money for school. I've already found a place for her to work."
"Huh? Yuan Yuan is so young, how can she go to work?
Auntie, from now on, I will be responsible for her tuition and living expenses. By the way, the last time I went to your house, I felt the house was too small and not safe. Let me buy you a better house."
"By the way, Auntie, don't tell Yuan Yuan about these things, okay? I don't want her to hate me."
Zhang Yuanyuan saw one of the chat screenshots.
That was a chat between a young Zhou Cheng and Zhang Shuai's mother!
So, the one who saved her back then was him!
So, he was the light in the darkest moment of her life!!!
Tears welled up in Zhang Yuanyuan's eyes.
She wanted to hold them back, but she couldn't stop them no matter what!
