My Celestial Ascension Chapter 1021: Inspector Brown

Patricia looked at Leah for a couple of moments, fascinated by the golden markings covering her body, which didn’t appear to be tattoos or makeup.

’Is this some new tattoo technology that I don’t know about? And why is her skin so smooth and beautiful?’ she pondered while staring at Leah in silence.

Leah felt uncomfortable under Patricia’s constant gaze and asked awkwardly, "Is there something on my face?"

"Huh? No, not at all. I just found your tattoos quite fascinating. I’ve never heard of or seen anyone with golden tattoos that look so realistic before." Patricia snapped out of her daze and replied with an awkward smile, her cheeks turning slightly red.

"Is that so... But these aren’t tattoos. They naturally appeared on my skin," Leah replied, nodding at the realization.

"Huh? H-How is this even possible?" Patricia was dumbfounded after hearing this and stared at Leah with a blank expression.

"Don’t ask me... Even I don’t know the answer. They just appeared one day on my skin, covering my entire body," Leah replied with a small shrug, as if she didn’t care about it at all.

’How is this possible? These markings aren’t random; they follow a strict pattern—a design. Furthermore, they make her look even more beautiful.’ Patricia thought.

Ting!

Suddenly, her phone rang. Looking at the screen, she saw a text from her secretary, Lizzy.

’Why would she text me at a time like this?’ She frowned before opening the message.

[President, look at the latest news! Streamer Luna is accusing the viral man from the social media posts!]

Patricia immediately opened her social media account and watched the video. She was shocked by the claim Luna Lane had made on social media.

’No way! She really is accusing Yuan of molesting her, and she doesn’t even have any proof that she was harassed by Yuan!’ she cried inwardly, seemingly in disbelief.

’Furthermore, isn’t the police reacting too quickly without any solid proof that she was harassed or molested? After all, the mall is equipped with countless security cameras.’

She then looked at Yuan and said, "Looks like you’re in quite a bit of trouble now. That woman, Luna Lane, do you know her?"

"No. I do not know her at all," Yuan replied, shaking his head. He continued, "We just met at the mall when we went shopping. It was only a brief encounter."

"She asked me for a picture, which I refused. Perhaps that’s what made her angry and caused her to pull this stunt on me. Typical behavior for an influencer trying to get famous, in my opinion," Yuan said with a shrug.

"Indeed. This kind of thing happens very often nowadays." Patricia nodded softly. "Do you need help? After all, judging by how quickly the police are reacting, someone powerful is pulling the strings from the shadows. Perhaps a die-hard fan of Luna Lane."

"That certainly looks like the case here." Yuan nodded, acknowledging her sharp observation.

"However, I don’t think I should involve you in my personal matter. We just met and barely know each other."

"That doesn’t mean I can’t help you. We will be neighbors from now on, and I know that you’re a good person—the opposite of what Luna Lane is describing you as on social media," she said with a smile.

She continued, "I don’t see any reason why you should refuse my help."

"Darling, since she insists, why refuse her help? Accept her help," Anna Grace said with a smile.

"Fine." Yuan sighed softly before looking at Patricia. "Please help me deal with that arrogant woman, Miss Patricia."

"You don’t need to be so formal with me. Patricia is fine," Patricia replied with a smile. Then she said, "But you should go to the police station. I’ll help you clear your name."

"The police station, huh? Well, no one has ever dared to judge me before. I wonder what kind of drama they’ll try to create." Yuan muttered with a smirk on his face.

"Alright. I’ll visit the police station, and I’ll leave the responsibility of clearing my name to you," Yuan said.

"Don’t worry. My team will collect the evidence proving your innocence. Once we prove that you’re innocent, the police will have no choice but to release you," Patricia said with a smile before pulling out her phone from her purse.

She dialed a number and instructed her legal department to collect the security footage from the mall.

Once she finished talking, she put away her phone and turned toward Yuan.

"My legal team is already on their way to the mall to collect the evidence. Now, let’s head to the police station," she said with a smile before getting up from the sofa.

"Alright." Yuan nodded, looked at Emma, and said, "Emma, how about you come with me?"

"Mmm, I’ll go." Emma immediately got up from the sofa.

"What about us?" Lily asked, narrowing her eyes at him.

"You guys stay at home. If everything goes well, we’ll be back within a few hours," Yuan replied.

’If someone dares to pull another stunt on us, Emma will put them to sleep forever,’ Yuan said to them through voice transmission.

’Alright. Return quickly. We’ll be waiting for you,’ Anna Grace replied through voice transmission.

Yuan, Emma, and Patricia got into the car, and Patricia drove toward the police station at high speed.

"By the way, Patricia, what kind of company do you run?" Yuan asked.

"I run the VELoura Group. We make jewelry and beauty products and sell them to premium customers. I’ve already told this to your family. You were in the kitchen at the time," she replied, her hands on the steering wheel and her eyes focused on the road.

"So, you own a big company. No wonder you’re driving such a nice car," Yuan replied, a surprised look on his face.

"What about you? What do you do for a living?" she asked, curious about Yuan’s life, considering that he now owned a very expensive villa.

"I don’t do anything. I used to attend high school, but I had to quit due to some special circumstances."

’So he is way younger than me...’ she thought inwardly, surprised by Yuan’s reply.

"How old are you exactly? Don’t you want to continue your education?" she asked.

Yuan thought for a moment.

When he died in this world, he was eighteen years old, and two years had passed since that time. So, by this world’s standard, he was currently twenty years old.

"I’m twenty years old now. As for continuing my education... I haven’t thought about that," Yuan replied, gazing through the car window.

"You’re really one clueless young man." Patricia chuckled softly.

Sometime later, they arrived at the police station, and the police officers outside immediately became surprised by the sudden appearance of a sports car.

"Well, would you look at that? A Porsche 911 Turbo S... Who could be driving such an expensive car?" one of the policemen asked his companion.

"Probably a young lady from a rich family," the other policeman replied with a shrug.

Shortly afterward, the car stopped in the parking area, and the door opened.

A pair of long, slender legs appeared in view before a beautiful, elegant woman stepped out of the vehicle, wearing a pair of burgundy sunglasses.

"I-Isn’t that the founder and CEO of the VELoura Group?! Why is she here?!"

The policemen were shocked by the sudden appearance of such a VIP at their police station.

Shortly afterward, Yuan and Emma also stepped out of the vehicle, shocking the police officers even further.

"Isn’t that the man who suddenly became famous today? And that woman beside him has also become famous along with him because of her appearance and cosplay outfit."

"Indeed. But there is a harassment and molestation case against the young man. Apparently, Luna Lane, the famous streamer and influencer, claimed that he harassed and molested her in public."

"I don’t buy it... Look at the two women with him. With them around, do you really think he would go for a streamer? No way in hell!"

Yuan and the others ignored the two officers and entered the building.

Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone who saw them. Especially Yuan and Emma—their appearances were simply too striking to ignore.

"Hey, look! Isn’t that the young man we’re supposed to capture? The report says that he harassed and molested a famous streamer."

"Indeed. It’s him! And he came to us himself. This definitely saved us some time, with the criminal coming here to surrender on his own."

Patricia took Yuan directly to the Inspector’s office. She was a VIP, so no one dared to stop her.

Inside the office, a middle-aged man was sitting in his office chair, reading a file.

"Inspector, I’m Patricia Carter, the founder and CEO of the VELoura Group," Patricia said as she stepped into the office. "We’re here regarding the complaint filed against my friend, Yuan."

"Miss Carter, please have a seat," the inspector said, gesturing for them to sit. "I’m David Brown, the one handling your friend’s case. You can address me as Inspector Brown."

Then he looked at Yuan and Emma, a smirk appearing on his face.

"So, your name is Yuan. The unknown person who harassed and molested Luna Lane—the famous streamer and influencer," Inspector Brown said with a smirk.

Yuan stared at him coldly. He didn’t like the expression on the inspector’s face at all.

"You sure have a very pretty face for a criminal. The saying fits you perfectly—don’t judge a book by its cover."

"Inspector Brown... You’re being disrespectful toward my friend," Patricia said, her expression cold as she clenched her fists.

However, Inspector Brown completely ignored her and looked at Yuan with a dangerous smile.

"Behind that handsome face, you’re a monster who harasses and molests women," he said with a smile. "Now prepare to spend the rest of your life in prison, young man."

"I’m not a criminal, nor did I come here to surrender." Yuan finally spoke, and immediately, the entire room’s temperature turned cold.
