"What? The arrest officer is here..." Mrs. Jin panicked.
It was only now that she realized the seriousness of the situation. Putting aside the fact that she hadn't stolen anything, with no one to vouch for her innocence, given Ruan Xiao Jiao's status, imprisoning her would be a piece of cake.
"Mr. Dan Dan, let's not argue anymore. Let's... let's deal with this matter first, okay?" Mrs. Jin glanced around before speaking.
"Deal with it? How am I supposed to handle this? I'm not part of the government."
Mu Dade replied impatiently.
As they were talking, the arrest officer had already entered the tavern and immediately asked about the situation.
"Who stole the item? And who reported the case?"
One of the women who had been holding Mrs. Jin stepped forward and pointed at Mrs. Jin, saying, "It's her, this woman, claiming to be a scholar's wife. But in reality, she does all sorts of debased things. She stole my pearl earrings. If I hadn't noticed in time, they'd be gone."
