After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 349: Changed a Lot After Coming Back to Life

Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Changed a Lot After Coming Back to Life

"...Mr. Shi?"

Lu Sheng hadn’t expected that the person who would come to interrogate her would be Shi Suyu, with whom she had a brief encounter the night before at the night market. She couldn’t help feeling somewhat surprised.

Only then did she remember that Lin Yi had told her that Shi Suyu was the captain of the Beijing Criminal Police Team and had been working in Jiang City for the past six months.

What a coincidence—

This really wasn’t a situation where ordinary people would run into friends.

"It’s me."

Shi Suyu, with the same black shiny short hair as the first time they met, had a handsome and resolute facial structure, with an aura of heroism between his brows and eyes, and his voice was clear and low.

Compared to the casual clothes he wore that day, he was in a well-pressed and neat police uniform today, making his figure even more upright, with smooth and evenly defined muscles. He projected an image of integrity that inspired trust.

"I heard you were taken to the police station, so I specifically came over," Shi Suyu said as soon as he came in.

Then he walked directly towards Lu Sheng with his tall and upright figure. He bent down in front of her, extending his right hand towards Lu Sheng’s hand.

Even though they had met before, they were not familiar with each other.

So, when Shi Suyu suddenly approached, Lu Sheng instinctively turned her head to the right. Then she realized that Shi Suyu was just trying to unlock her handcuffs.

The man’s well-defined and slender right hand held the key, and during the unlocking process, there were a few seconds of brief contact. Shi Suyu could feel that the girl’s hand was somewhat cold.

"Are you cold?" Shi Suyu looked up and asked considerately, "It’s gotten a bit cooler tonight, I’ll go turn the air conditioning on for you."

With that, Shi Suyu actually did just that.

With the handcuffs unlocked and the air conditioning turned on, Lu Sheng suddenly felt like she wasn’t being arrested by the police, but rather visiting a friend at the police station.

"Is this okay?" Lu Sheng lifted her handcuff-free hands, signaling to Shi Suyu.

"It’s fine. It’s not because we know each other that I helped you unlock them," Shi Suyu said, "It’s because I know that you won’t resist or attempt to escape, so there’s no need to keep you handcuffed while we talk."

Lu Sheng was taken aback: "You mean..."

"I watched your live stream tonight from beginning to end. Before you came, I also looked up some of the old reports on Jiang Mengmeng, and I sympathize with what that girl has gone through."

"I know what you did was to make Jiang Yusheng confess his crimes in front of the public, and even though the method of stunning, binding, and extorting confessions is indeed illegal, I understand emotionally."

"Because sometimes, some legal and compliant methods really can’t allow people to achieve their goals. For some bad people, fighting violence with violence is more direct and effective."

"If I weren’t a police officer, if I were in the same situation as you, I probably would have done the same thing as you."

"Oh?"

This was somewhat unexpected to Lu Sheng, who looked at Shi Suyu, "I thought you would be the kind of policeman who adheres very strictly to rules and draws a very clear line between what is legal and what is illegal."

Although Lu Sheng said it casually, Shi Suyu answered very seriously and thoughtfully, "When I first became a policeman, I indeed did."

"However, the longer I work in this field, the more I find that being completely legal doesn’t represent absolute justice, and not all illegal activities are vile acts, like your actions today."

"I’ve already asked around, you’re young and in your third year of high school, your intention was to uphold justice rather than harm anyone, plus public opinion is currently in your favor, so you won’t be in trouble."

As Shi Suyu spoke, he turned on the camera and sat down opposite Lu Sheng.

"I’m going to ask you a few simple questions. Just answer me truthfully," he said.

Lu Sheng nodded and said okay.

Shi Suyu’s questions were indeed not complicated, such as asking how Lu Sheng knew about Jiang Mengmeng’s situation, how she found the hotel Jiang Yusheng was in tonight, and how she planned the live broadcast this evening.

Lu Sheng answered them one by one, only omitting some details that would implicate her two brothers and Lan Yu, Huo Yu.

After the questioning, Shi Suyu put down his notebook and turned off the camera with a raise of his hand.

The next second, he actually took out a rice ball wrapped in cling film from his pocket.

"You haven’t had dinner tonight, have you?" Shi Suyu looked at Lu Sheng, "You need to wait for your guardian to come and hand you over before you can leave, so have something to eat first."

"Did you buy this especially for me?" Lu Sheng was taken aback.

"Not really, it was what I had planned for my own dinner. But I’m not hungry, you can have it." Shi Suyu said as he placed the rice ball in Lu Sheng’s hand.

Lu Sheng really hadn’t had dinner. After all, she left the Lu Family’s house and immediately followed Jiang Yusheng, and once at the hotel, she had been busy until now, not having the chance to eat anything.

She looked down at the rice ball in her hand and couldn’t help asking, "Is Officer Shi this friendly and considerate to every person brought in for police questioning?"

Her question caught Shi Suyu off guard for a moment, then he shook his head.

"You are not a criminal, at least in my heart, you’ve done nothing wrong."

"But it’s not entirely for that reason...you remind me of my sister, so maybe I’m unconsciously more attentive to you."

"Your sister?" Lu Sheng tilted her head slightly, "Does she look a lot like me?"

"She doesn’t look like you, but her personality is a lot like yours," Shi Suyu paused, "she used to be just like you, righteous and kind yet bold and meticulous, fearless."

Hearing Shi Suyu say "used to," Lu Sheng thought his sister had passed away and involuntarily opened her mouth: "You mean, your sister..."

Seeing Lu Sheng’s expression, Shi Suyu quickly realized his words may have led to a misunderstanding: "No, no, my sister is still with us, it’s just..."

Shi Suyu paused, "My sister has congenital heart disease, and she had a very serious episode this summer. At that time, her condition was critical, to the point that her heart stopped during the resuscitation."

"However, afterwards, perhaps she was reluctant to leave this world, and she miraculously came back to life. But after that, her personality changed a lot, and it’s not quite the same as before."

"She is no longer as innocent and straightforward as before. Although she seems pure in demeanor, I always have a faint feeling that she keeps some secrets in her heart that she doesn’t want others to know."

"So sometimes I can’t help but wonder if the resuscitation shocks could have affected some of her nerves, causing such a change in her."

"But seeing what you did tonight, it makes me feel that the sister I knew before would have done the same. Plus, you two are about the same age, so..."

At this point, Shi Suyu realized that he had said too much, "Sorry, I seem to have told you too much irrelevant stuff. You should eat first."

Officer Shi said it casually, but Lu Sheng was not hearing it casually.

The sister Shi Suyu was talking about must be the daughter born from the wife Mr. Shi Chengyun remarried, as Lin Yi told her last time. The one attending Beijing First Middle School, right?

Heart disease led to an ineffective resuscitation and a stopped heartbeat, but she later miraculously came back to life, and her personality seemed to change a lot afterward...

Linking these points together made Lu Sheng think of a certain possibility instantly, causing her to frown slightly.

At that moment, Lu Sheng suddenly heard a man’s voice from outside the door with a somewhat ingratiating and flattering tone.

"President Li, Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu Sheng is in this room. Rest assured, she definitely hasn’t been mistreated here, absolutely not."
