Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 315 Laptop

Then, she received a text message from the young policeman.

"Happy New Year! What are you doing now?"

Sydnee only realized that the young policeman was interested in her when hearing Eliot's words at that dinner. No one seemed to be fond of her when she was at school. Somehow, after she started working, she suddenly had several suitors. She also met some quality men. But strangely enough, she had feelings for none of them.

Back then, she took the initiative to develop a relationship with Marquise. After they broke up, she did not dare to love anyone again.

No man was reliable.

She replied, "I'm watching TV."

Not long after, the young policeman called her, "Do you want to go out with me?"

"What?" Sydnee was confused and shocked. For the first time, a man asked her to go out on New Year's Day.

"Come on. I can pick you up." He insisted.

"Well, no need." Sydnee was worried that her refusal would be too ruthless for him. She spoke in a low voice, not knowing how to refuse a man.

"Are you sure?"

Just as Sydnee was about to answer him, the young policeman said, "We've caught a thief who confessed to three counts of burglary. He had stolen two suits, leather shoes, and a laptop." "Where are you? I'll be right there!"

She didn't know how long Emily would keep her secrets. Since she had promised to take care of Eliot, she would definitely do anything she could for him.

"Going out on New Year's Day?" Just as Sydnee took out the car key, her mother asked, "What kind of friends have you made these days? Why are you going out on New Year's Day? Also, who did you send the dumplings to? A newcomer? Didn't he go home for family reunion?" Then she paused and carefully asked, "Is that person he or she?"

Sydnee covered her forehead and said, "Mom, I'm in a hurry now. I'll explain to you when I get back."

"Why is Sydnee in such a hurry now?" Janice muttered to herself.

Sydnee also felt that she had changed a lot. She used to adhere to the principles of cultivation, morality, righteousness, and honesty. In the end, she just discovered that money was the most important in the world. She could never arouse the better nature of hooligans with her cultivation. She became more and more sophisticated. She ended up envying the kind of person she used to dislike most. Sophisticated people could gain anything they wanted, while people like her, who were confined to etiquette and righteousness, and had a strong sense of shame, lived timidly.

When Sydnee arrived at the police station, it was three o'clock in the afternoon. There weren't many officers, only two on duty and the young policeman who called her. He greeted her in casual clothes and smiled, "You're here."

Sydnee did not notice the intimacy in his tone. The two policemen on duty smiled, without saying a word.

The young policeman blushed and brought Sydnee to an interrogation room. Usually, thieves would be imprisoned for several days after being regularly questioned. Since there weren't many police officers, he decided to show off to Sydnee by detaining the thief in the interrogation room.

The thief looked cunning. He shrugged in a thin black coat. He wore a pair of shoes that exposed his ankles. He clothes were dirty, as if he had lived in a garbage can.

"Say it! Where is the laptop you stole a few days ago?!" The policeman's face suddenly changed. He was knocking the table with his baton.

Sydnee, rather than the thief, got scared.

"I told you. I've sold it."

The policeman continued to roar, "To whom?"

The thief looked at him indifferently and asked, "Which laptop?"

"Do you know what your friend's laptop looks like?" The policeman asked Sydnee in frustration.

"I don't know."

"He sold all the stolen goods including three laptops and five mobile phones." The policeman hit the thief with his baton, "Be honest!"

The thief rubbed his feet and said, "It's a little cold here. Can you turn on the air conditioner?"

"Out of the question! It's not a hotel!" The young policeman hit the thief on his shoulder with his baton. "Are you proud of stealing? You don't have the right to enjoy the air conditioner!" The thief shrugged and remained silent.

Sydnee whispered, "Then what should we do?"

"We can only show him the photo of your friend's laptop. If he can remember where he sold it, your friend can buy it back."

Sydnee didn't want Eliot to go out on New Year's Day. She texted him and asked him to send a picture of his laptop. Then she waited for his reply in the interrogation room.

Not long after, Eliot called her, "Did they catch the thief?"

"Well, right." But the laptop was sold.

"Thieves tend to sell what they steal immediately. Are you going to search it on the black market with the photo?"

"How do you know?" Sydnee was stunned.

"I guessed so when you asked me for the photo. You are at the police station, right?" As Eliot spoke, the door of the elevator opened, "Wait for me, I'll arrive soon."

"No need." In Sydnee's mind, she could just go to the black market with the young policeman later. Eliot didn't have to come with them.

But Eliot said that it was his laptop after all.

Sydnee suddenly didn't know why she had to help him replace the laptop.

She really wanted to go home now.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶☐☐
