The policeman had known Wu Hao for some time, and he was also aware of many of Wu Hao’s past experiences, so when he said this, he paused for a moment before he continued. “It was your girlfriend, Ms. Jiang. When you get here, do you want to meet her?”
Wu Hao lowered his eyes to hide his expression, and 30 seconds later he calmly replied, “Let’s talk about this later.” He then ended the call and stood in the corridor of the hospital for a moment before he turned to look at Xu Wennuan through the window behind him. She was laying in the hospital bed in a deep slumber. Fortunately, she was not badly hurt and was merely given a high dosage of sedative to help her sleep and regain her strength.
Wu Hao retracted his gaze and walked over to the nurse’s station and found the nurse who was in charge of Xu Wennuan’s room. After handing her a name card to inform her to contact him immediately should anything happen to Xu Wennuan, he stepped into the elevator and left the hospital.
When the driver waiting for him downstairs saw Wu Hao appear, he immediately opened the car door for him. Wu Hao bent his body and got into the car. After telling the driver to go to the police station, he closed his eyes and leaned back into the car seat to rest.
Once they reached the station, Wu Hao instructed his secretary to wait there, and he got out of the car and entered the station by himself. He reported everything that he knew honestly to the police and only skimmed over the part about the watch that he had picked up. Once he’d finished recording his statement, he chatted casually with the policeman he knew in his office. After a while, the policeman asked, “Do you want to meet her now?”
Wu Hao lowered his eyes and nodded his head lightly without speaking. The policeman led him toward the interrogation room where, with one glance through the metal bars, Wu Hao recognized Jiang Qianqian. Due to the urgency by which the police had summoned her, she was slovenly dressed in her pajamas and her hair was tousled. She had no makeup on, and a few freckles were evident on her tear-stricken cheeks.
When Jiang Qianqian heard the motion, she lifted her head. The moment she saw Wu Hao, she instantly jumped up and reacted as if was there to rescue her. “Ah Hao, you’re here to save me, aren’t you? Ah Hao, listen to me. I did not intend to abduct Xu Wennuan. I really didn’t intend to abduct her. I merely wanted to get someone to bring her to my house. I really didn’t intend to abduct her…”
The policeman, who was standing next to Wu Hao, moved closer and whispered in his ear, “We’ve already conducted one round of interrogations. She refused to admit that she was the one who hired those men to kidnap Ms. Xu. However, those three kidnappers said that they only mitted the act because they had accepted her money. There was even a short letter. We have conclusive evidence here, so I don’t know why she’s still so stubborn and reluctant to confess.”
When Jiang Qianqian heard the policeman’s words, her voice raised an octave. “I already said that it wasn’t me. It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it! Ah Hao, believe me. It really wasn’t me. You must help me. Ah Hao, please!”
Wu Hao showed no reaction to Jiang Qianqian’s desperation. Instead, he said directly to the policeman, “Could you open the door and allow me to enter and have a private word with her?”
The policeman didn’t refuse and opened the door for Wu Hao, who waited for the policeman to leave before he opened the metal door to step into the interrogation room. He was barely inside when the unkempt Jiang Qianqian threw herself at him and furrowed into his arms. “Ah Hao, did you e here to see me the moment you found out I was here? Ah Hao, you still have a spot for me in your heart, don’t you? Can you help me contact a good lawyer to get me out of here? Ah Hao, I really didn’t abduct Xu Wennuan!”
