ABRWF Chapter 426.2

Lu Qingyan stood up and said calmly to the middle-aged policeman, “Officer Liu, what a coincidence, we’ve met again.”

Officer Liu was the one who handled Xu Xingwan’s case last time.

He was also quite helpless.

Xu Xingwan’s case had just been resolved, and now it was Lu Qingyan’s turn.

He hated dealing with these wealthy and powerful people.

Once the tea was brewed, Ye Yuan placed it in front of the officer: “Officer Liu, have a cup of tea before we talk. You must be thirsty after the journey.”

But Officer Liu didn’t drink it. Instead, he looked at Lu Qingyan seriously, “Mr. Lu, please come with us. We suspect you of hiring someone to commit murder.”

Lu Qingyan’s brow twitched. Even seated, his aura was no less imposing than the police officers’.

“Are you sure you’re not mistaken? How could a respectable businessman like me hire someone to commit murder?”

Officer Liu frowned and placed a photograph in front of Lu Qingyan: “Do you recognize this person?”

The photograph was of Chu Muxi.

Lu Qingyan nodded: “I know her. What happened to her?”

Officer Liu took out another bloodied photo: “This afternoon, this woman died. Our investigation showed that she panicked after seeing you at the hospital and ran out, and was unfortunately hit by a car and died on the spot.”

Lu Qingyan’s lips curled into a smile: “So you suspect I killed her?”

“No, before that, you were suspected of illegal detention. This case was brought by her mother herself, so the case is established. Before the truth comes out, you have to come with us. We need to ask you some questions.”

Lu Qingyan listened silently and then nodded directly: “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

He stood up, his gaze falling on Jiang Nanshu, who ran out of the room.

She stood at the second-floor escalator, looking in their direction.

Lu Qingyan paused, smiled at the police, and said, “Please wait a moment. My wife is pregnant and can’t handle any stress. I need to tell her to put her mind at ease. Could you please make an exception?”

Officer Liu glanced at Jiang Nanshu, frowned slightly, and finally nodded: “We’ll wait for you outside. Please hurry.”

Lu Qingyan smiled gently: “Thank you.”

Then he turned and went upstairs.

The junior officer accompanying him muttered under his breath, “He doesn’t look like someone who would hire someone to commit murder.”

Officer Liu glared at him: “Don’t judge a book by its cover. Let’s go out.”

The group of police officers followed him away.

Ye Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Lu Qingyan, who had walked up to Jiang Nanshu, with concern.

Lu Qingyan looked down at Jiang Nanshu’s bare feet, then scooped her up in his arms.

“Why did you come out without shoes? Be careful not to catch a cold.”

Jiang Nanshu freed one hand and gripped Lu Qingyan’s collar tightly: “What’s with these policemen? Did you commit a crime?”

Lu Qingyan placed Jiang Nanshu on the bed, gently pulling her hand away, his tone helpless: “Don’t worry, it’s alright.”

He squatted down and helped Jiang Nanshu put on her shoes: “Chu Muxi is dead. The police suspect that I hired someone to kill her, and then they investigated the time when I detained her. Chu Xin reported the case. Things may not be very peaceful for a while, so try to stay home as much as possible.”

He looked up and saw Jiang Nanshu staring intently at him with her almond-shaped eyes. Lu Qingyan tilted his head back and kissed Jiang Nanshu’s red lips.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’ll have someone send you back to the Jiang family to avoid them for the next few days. I’ll pick you up and take you home when I get out.”
