You Choose an Adopted Son, I Choose Madness

Chapter 5: Call the Police! Catch the Thief!:

Su Chen understood exactly what Su Zhenxing meant.

But he also remembered very clearly that in his past life, the moment Su Qiqi pointed at him and called him a thief, Su Zhenxing had immediately believed her.

Back then, he had never once said, “Family shame should not be aired in public.”

Not only that, but later, when Su family members casually brought up the story in social circles, he never stopped them.

The rumor spread further and further.

More and more people learned about it.

Eventually, Su Chen became a despised outcast, hated and ridiculed by everyone.

And now?

Now that the thief was Su Qiqi, suddenly “family shame should not be aired in public”?

Hah.

Not this time.

Su Chen would never let Su Zhenxing control the situation again.

Not only would he make sure the “thief” label stuck firmly to Su Qiqi, but he would make sure the whole world knew about it.

She had to experience exactly what he had suffered in his past life.

Of course, he knew that calling the police inside the house would be useless.

Su Zhenxing would just rally the rest of the Su family to stop him.

So, there was only one way—he had to run outside first.

Once he was out, who could stop him from making the call?

Of course, with the Su family’s wealth and influence, they would eventually smooth things over.

The police wouldn’t actually punish Su Qiqi.

But that didn’t matter.

Su Chen’s goal wasn’t to have her arrested.

In his past life, he would personally repay every debt she owed him.

Right now, all he needed was for the police to arrive at the Su family home and file an official report.

With that, there would be a permanent record that “Su Qiqi stole a watch from her own father.”

This would spread like wildfire.

And Su Chen?

He would be more than happy to add fuel to the fire.

From that moment on, the “thief” label would follow Su Qiqi for the rest of her life.

Ignoring Su Zhenxing completely, Su Chen suddenly clutched his head in agony, his body hunching over in pain.

He let out a heartbreaking scream.

“Su Qiqi stole the watch!”

“She not only stole the watch—she tried to frame me!”

“Why, Su Qiqi?! Why would you do this to me?!”

“Ahhhhhhh!”

As he howled, he suddenly leapt forward, breaking free from the family’s grasp and sprinting toward the front gate.

The entire Su family stood in shock.

What was this lunatic doing now?!

The moment Su Chen rushed out of the Su family villa, he immediately pulled out his phone and called the police.

He calmly reported, “A Patek Philippe watch worth five million yuan has been stolen from the Su family home.”

Then, while waiting for the police to arrive, he took a photo of the watch in his hand and posted it on Weibo.

“Is this a collapse of morality or a loss of ethics?”

“Hai City’s richest family reports a theft of a five-million-yuan watch. Shocking revelation: the culprit is none other than the second daughter of the Su family?!”

Given the value of the stolen item and the status of the Su family, the police responded swiftly.

Within fifteen minutes, a patrol car arrived, sirens blaring.

Su Chen stood at the gate, waiting.

Two officers stepped out. One was an experienced forty-year-old veteran, and the other was a young officer in his twenties.

Classic mentor-apprentice duo.

The senior officer’s sharp eyes locked onto Su Chen.

A high school student in uniform.

“You’re Su Chen? You called this in?”

Su Chen put on a pained expression and nodded solemnly.

“Yes, I made the report. My father, Su Zhenxing’s, watch was stolen. It’s worth five million yuan.”

The officer gave him a nod.

Rather than questioning him further, he followed Su Chen into the house.

After all, Su Chen was just a high schooler.

This was something they needed to discuss with the adults.

As they stepped inside, Su Chen took in the “cozy family scene” before him.

The Su family had calmly gathered in the living room.

They weren’t panicked about the theft.

In fact, they looked… relaxed.

Su Qiqi was crying in Liu Yanran’s arms, while her mother gently patted her back, comforting her.

Su Lili and Su Mu stood beside them, softly murmuring words of reassurance.

And as for Su Zhenxing?

He sat on the other couch, silent.

Not scolding.

Not questioning.

Just letting it go.

Su Chen laughed out loud.

So that was their plan?

Just sweep everything under the rug and pretend nothing had happened?

Had they asked him—the victim—if he agreed to this?

Had they gotten his permission?

Without hesitation, Su Chen wailed loudly.

“Father, the police are here!”

“Don’t struggle anymore!”

“Let’s just follow the law! Whatever the police decide, we’ll accept it!”

“After all, Su Qiqi stole your five-million-yuan watch!”

“FIVE MILLION!”

“Such a priceless watch!”

“But no matter how much she liked it, she still shouldn’t have stolen it!”

His voice boomed through the house.

The Su family whipped their heads around in shock.

Behind Su Chen, they saw two police officers standing at the entrance.

They were stunned.

The police were actually here.

Su Chen actually called the police.

He had run out just to report the theft.

A second later, Su Zhenxing exploded in fury.

Earlier, he had explicitly told Su Chen not to involve the authorities.

And now, here were the police, standing in his house.

That ungrateful son!

Meanwhile, Su Qiqi trembled in fear.

Would the police actually arrest her?!

This was just a family matter.

How could it have escalated to this?!

The senior officer stepped forward and assured Su Zhenxing,

“Mr. Su, don’t worry.”

“We will treat this case as a top priority at the precinct.”

“Whoever dared to commit such an outrageous crime—we will make sure they are swiftly brought to justice.”

Su Zhenxing choked on his words.

He was just about to explain that this was a “misunderstanding” when—

Su Chen suddenly rushed forward, grabbing the officer’s hand.

He beamed.

“Hai City’s police are truly remarkable!”

“Your dedication and professionalism are unmatched!”

“But don’t worry, officers—we’ve already caught the thief.”

“The criminal and the stolen item are both right here.”

The officer blinked in confusion.

Su Chen dragged him toward Su Qiqi, pointed directly at her, and declared,

“Officer, this is the thief!”

“Su Qiqi stole my father’s watch!”

“I saw it with my own eyes—she boldly shoved the stolen watch into her pocket!”

He held up the Patek Philippe watch.

“Look! This is the stolen item!”

“Officer, both the thief and the stolen goods are right here.”

“Please fulfill your duty—take them both back to the station!”
