You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 370

At the police station in Lexingport City

"Captain, it's already 11 p.m. You should go back so you can rest." Tom stood up from the chair.

"I'll go after I finish this. Be careful on your way home," Noah replied, his focus still on his work.

Tom smiled, "Captain, I'm heading home to rest. I don't think anybody will be needing a policeman to catch any bad guys at this time, so it's safe to leave. I'm going."

However, Tom had not taken two steps out of the office when he heard a commotion outside. A young man was excitedly telling the police at the front desk what happened.

Just then, Mr. Black came in, stretching his neck tiredly. Tom grabbed his arm and asked, "What's happening outside?"

Mr. Black stopped and said, "It's not a big deal. A man caught someone lurking around the apartment complex near L University, and he's telling the story of how he caught a thief."

"L University? A thief?" Tom asked skeptically. "The security of that place has always been ironclad. Where did the thief come from?"

Mr. Black shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe the thief is new to the area, so he was caught and brought here."

Both Tom and Mr. Black shrugged and smiled at each other.

Noah suddenly looked away from his screen and asked, "Is it the apartment unit facing the street?"

"Yes." Mr. Black nodded. "What's with the apartment?"

Noah frowned.

Nina lived there.

"I'll go and have a look." Noah stood up and left. Tom and Mr. Black followed behind him curiously.

When did Noah even care about petty robbery?

As the three of them walked over, they heard the man who caught the thief telling his story in a proud tone.

"You must severely punish this thief. Instead of looking for honest work to support his family, this man chose to steal. If I hadn't passed by, he would have climbed into the balcony."

"Don't worry. We will deal with this according to the law. Thank you very much for doing your civic duty." A policewoman talked with the man for a while and then sent him out.

She saw Noah and then greeted him respectfully. "Captain Ye, you haven't gone home yet?"

"I heard the case. What happened?" Noah asked straightforwardly.

The policewoman frowned and said, "That man said he caught a thief, but I don't think that's the case."

"What do you mean?" Noah glanced at the policewoman.

"Captain Ye, come here and have a look." It was difficult for the police officer to explain, so she'd rather show Noah what she meant.

The so-called thief was now in the interrogation room.

Tom and Mr. Black were one step ahead of Noah and saw the so-called thief. The man, who was dressed in a well-fitting black suit, had a crew cut, cold eyes, and a noble, commanding demeanor. In fact, he seemed like he was the one doing the interrogation.

The thief didn't say a word, and the policeman across the table from him was helpless.

"What kind of a thief is this?" Dumbfounded, Mr. Black took in the thief's appearance with an expression of disbelief. "I don't think he is a thief. I think he is having an affair with someone else's wife."

"Stop talking nonsense. You will get in trouble later." Tom reached out and patted Mr. Black's head. The neatly dressed man gave off that sort of vibe.

Besides, Tom recognized who the alleged thief was.

"Captain, it's Mr. Shi," Tom said in a trembling voice.

The thief sitting in the interrogation room was actually John.

Who would believe it?

John was rich and powerful. Why would he need to steal anything?

"Mr. Shi?" Noah didn't see the thief yet. He looked at Tom suspiciously.

Tom nodded affirmatively.

"Mr. Shi? Which Mr. Shi?" Mr. Black's face was a picture of confusion for a few seconds, and then the name suddenly struck a chord. He was so shocked that his eyes almost bugged out of his face. "You can't be serious. The CEO of Time Group?"

Tom nodded. Mr. Black swallowed, and his mouth remained open for a long time.

'Isn't he Nina's husband?
