93: Chapter 0093: Zhao Ruxue 93: Chapter 0093: Zhao Ruxue The cheque bore the name of the payer’s company, Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group Limited, as well as the stamp of the payer, Zhou Yuxia, also featuring the payee’s name, Ye Qiu, and the payment amount. It looked exactly like a regular cheque; hence, the bank’s Manager Song recognized it as genuine. “What is your relationship with this Zhou Yuxia?” Manager Song asked again. Had Ye Qiu known it would be such a hassle, he would have asked Yuxia to directly arrange a bank card for him. Now, Manager Song kept asking, and he was questioning him in an interrogative tone. “If you can’t cash it, I’ll just take it back to Miss Zhou.” Since the cheque was issued by this Industrial and Commercial Bank, it could certainly be cashed. However, Manager Song’s questioning suggested that he thought there was something suspicious about Ye Qiu acquiring such a cheque. “Do you have this Miss Zhou’s contact information?” Manager Song asked again. Zhou Yuxia was the deputy CEO and chief executive officer of Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group Company, naturally known to Manager Song. However, he couldn’t understand how this ordinary young man, dressed in shabby clothes, came to possess such a large bank cheque. Manager Song had already signaled to the security guard to go out; as soon as someone from the police arrived, they were to immediately take Ye Qiu in for questioning. Ye Qiu didn’t even have a mobile phone, so naturally he didn’t have Yuxia’s mobile number, but he knew she might still be at Jinling Hospital. Right now, he didn’t want to talk much with Manager Song and straightforwardly said, “Just give the cheque back to me, and I will exchange it somewhere else.” Manager Song replied, “Mr. Ye, please have a seat. It won’t be long before we can exchange this for you.” Just not far from this bank was the local Public Security sub-bureau of Jiangbei. Zhao Ruxue, who was on duty, received a call reporting from the bank. The bank suspected a young man had obtained a genuine bank cheque through illegal channels and now they wanted the police to investigate immediately. Zhao Ruxue, a deputy captain of the criminal police team, had made a minor mistake and was now serving as a regular officer in the local police station. Upon hearing about the incident at the bank, she saw it as a good opportunity to check out the situation. She and two male officers drove in a police car to the nearby bank, arriving at the entrance before long. The security guard who had been waiting outside the lobby instantly said upon seeing the three officers alight from the car, “Officers, he’s still inside the VIP room; our Manager Song is keeping him calm.” Zhao Ruxue led the two male officers into the VIP room, where she saw Manager Song and a young man in plain clothes sitting there. Ye Qiu was becoming increasingly impatient. Initially, he had thought that Manager Song was indeed arranging to exchange the cheque. However, after a while, he realized that Manager Song seemed not to trust him, believing there was something dubious about his cheque. Ye Qiu had always thought that as long as he had money, he was the king—with the bank not caring about the source of the funds. He had not anticipated the bank asking so thoroughly. Ye Qiu had been wanting to leave with the cheque, but Manager Song was holding onto it and hadn’t returned it to him, so Ye Qiu hadn’t left yet. Ye Qiu and Manager Song had already seen the bank hall security guard escorting three officers in police uniforms inside. Upon entering, the female officer in uniform immediately asked, “Is this the suspect?” Just having arrived, Zhao Ruxue saw Ye Qiu’s attire and also treated him as a suspect. “Officer, you’re right on time. This young man’s five million RMB cheque’s origins are unknown. I’ve asked many questions about the owner of the cheque earlier, but this young man knows nothing, so I suspect there’s something wrong with this cheque. Please take him back for investigation first, and if this young man has no issues, I’ll have the bank exchange the cheque for him later.” Manager Song said. After all, it was five million RMB, a substantial amount of money. If indeed there was an issue, the bank would need to compensate the Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group. Ye Qiu had not expected these people to really suspect his identity. “You should come with us for now.” Zhao Ruxue was too lazy to speak further. Upon first seeing Ye Qiu, she didn’t quite think he was a bad person. However, his attire was too plain and he looked somewhat greasy, and she was unsure what job Ye Qiu held, to possess a check for five million RMB, which she deemed impossible. Therefore, now Zhao Ruxue also wanted to have him taken back to the police station for further investigation. The three officers didn’t take out handcuffs; they just doubted Ye Qiu’s identity and did not treat him as a real suspect. Ye Qiu had not expected there to be so much trouble. He looked at Manager Song and said, “Give me the check back, or else, you will know the consequences.” Ye Qiu’s tone was very cold, frightening Manager Song enormously. Manager Song had originally planned to hold onto the check there. However, seeing Ye Qiu speaking like this left him no choice but to hand over the check. After Ye Qiu took it back, he said to him, “You will regret this very soon.” Ye Qiu followed Zhao Ruxue and the others outside the bank, got into the police car, and during the ride, the two male officers just watched him, and so did Zhao Ruxue. When Zhao Ruxue drove to the district police station, she shouted, “Get out.” Ye Qiu could only get out of the car and followed Zhao Ruxue into her office. “Now I need to ask about your personal information, as well as that of Miss Zhou who issued you the check. If there is no issue, we will apologize to you and send you back.” Initially, it was because the bank suspected something amiss with Ye Qiu and the check, which led to the police being called, now Zhao Ruxue felt the same. “Name.” “Ye Qiu.” “Age.” “18.” “Where do you work? Where do you usually live? Do you have an ID card?” Zhao Ruxue asked. Ye Qiu took out his ID card, and when Zhao Ruxue looked at it, she found that he actually lived in the old residential district of the Jiangbei textile factory, indicating he was a local. When Ye Qiu said he was still a senior student at Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School, Zhao Ruxue found it even more strange. “Then this check, how did you come by it? What is your relationship with this Miss Zhou?” “I treated the father of Zhou Yuxia today, and she paid me the treatment fee. If you don’t believe it, you can now go to Jinling Hospital to find Zhou Yuxia, I guess she is still there.” Ye Qiu said calmly. Zhao Ruxue was even more puzzled; this young man in front of her was actually treating people, could this not be a scam? “If you dare to lie to me, the outcome will be very grim.” Zhao Ruxue also did not hesitate, picked up the landline in front of her and called another police officer in a different office, instructing him to drive to Jinling Hospital immediately to verify the presence of Zhou Yuxia and her father’s situation. After Zhao Ruxue made the call and saw that Ye Qiu’s expression was the same as before, her heart believed him by sixty percent; she knew if Ye Qiu were really a scammer, having entered here, his demeanor would definitely differ from before, and if he dared to tell lies, by just sending someone to investigate, she would quickly know if what he said was true.
