Stealing Your Heart Chapter 620

Captain Song sat Shen Peichuan down and asked, “So, who did you offend?”

“Probably Gu Bei,” Shen Peichuan said.

Captain Song was puzzled. “Gu Bei? I’ve never heard of this guy…”

“I’m referring to Gu Bei from the Gu family,” Shen Peichuan explained.

That was when Captain Song understood what he meant. “Oh… You mean you offended Old Master Gu’s spoilt brat?”

“Yeah…” Shen Peichuan lowered his gaze.

“But you aren’t the type to go around looking for trouble. What’d you do to piss him off? Gu Bei isn’t a public official, and the two of you have zero contact at work. This isn’t a workplace conflict, so that means it’s personal.”

Shen Peichuan made no effort to hide anything from Captain Song. “Remember the incident at the temple? He abducted my friend’s girlfriend, and I was investigating him. I’m guessing he knows I’m on the case and decided to set me up like this.”

Captain Song shook his head helplessly. Old Master Gu’s connections run pretty deep. Considering how he has helped plenty of high-ranking officials get where they are now, doing the opposite would definitely be a piece of cake.

“Don’t worry. At worst, I’ll lose my job. Sure, it’d be regrettable, but I’d accept it anyway.” Shen Peichuan brushed it off casually.

Captain Song glared at him in disapproval. “Have you forgotten what you said when you first joined my team?”

“I wouldn’t want that to happen either, but being accused of bribery is no small matter.”

“I’ll see what I can do,” Captain Song said after a brief pause.

“You don’t have to.” Shen Peichuan didn’t want to cause Captain Song any trouble.

Captain Song was displeased to hear that. “Are you even listening to yourself? Your future is at stake here! What happened to the ambitious Shen Peichuan I know?”

Shen Peichuan kept his head low. “Of course, I wish to do what’s right! As much as I hate to face it, what’s happened has happened. I’m simply preparing myself for the worst-case scenario.”

He didn’t want to let anyone know about the matter – especially Zong Jinghao, who was preparing for his wedding.

“Look, you didn’t do it, so we have to try our best to clear your name. Don’t you give up on yourself, got it?” Captain Song advised.

Right as Shen Peichuan was drowning in guilt and shame for the trouble he had caused, Captain Song picked up his hat and announced, “I’m gonna get someone to look into this.”

“Thank you, sir.” Shen Peichuan didn’t know what else to say in response. Captain Song was like a father figure to him, and he couldn’t thank him enough.

Captain Song gave him a light pat on the shoulder. “Hey, no need to thank me. The innocent have nothing to fear, so pull yourself together!”

Shen Peichuan smiled. “I’m really grateful for your trust and support. I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to repay you.”

“Keeping up the honest work is the best form of repayment you can give me.” Captain Song left his office after saying that.

Shen Peichuan took a deep breath and returned to his office as well. He picked up Sang Yu’s file on his desk and put it back in the archives.

He bumped into one of his men on his way back. “There’s a letter for you, Deputy Chief.”

“What letter?” Shen Peichuan asked.

“It’s on my desk. I’ll go get it for you.” The man came back shortly after with a letter. “It’s from Ms. Sang Yu. She asked me to pass this to you.”

Shen Peichuan shuddered a little when he heard her name.

“When did she come here?” Shen Peichuan asked as he took the letter.

“Yesterday,” the man replied.

Shen Peichuan frowned. “Yesterday?”

“Yes, that’s right. She came looking for you, but you weren’t in at the time. I gave her your address, but… I’m guessing she wasn’t able to find you if she wrote you this letter.”

“I see… All right, I understand.” Shen Peichuan went back into his office and closed the door. He sat down by his desk and stared at the pink envelope, wondering what Sang Yu wrote him.
