The male police officer had no more questions, and the note-taking officer had stopped. The two of them stood up. “Thank you, Dr. Jiang, Dr. Liao, and Dr. Deng, for your cooperation. After you sign the consent forms, you may leave.”
Jiang Tingxu and the two had also stood up. Then, they officially shook hands as a gratitude of thanks. After signing the forms, the three of them were prepared to leave.
“Wait, wait. Officer. What about me?”
Uh…
“I’m sorry, Ms. Lan. You can’t leave for the time being. Yao, please take Ms. Lan to the next room.”
“Roger.”
Yao was the female officer from before. When she led Ms. Lan past the doctors, Deng Peng called out, “Officer Yao, just a moment.”
“Dr. Deng?”
Deng Peng had taken out a business card from his pocket. “This is my business card. Officer Yao, if you have any questions regarding the heart, feel free to contact me at any time.”
“Thank—thank you, Dr. Deng!”
Yao was scared by the facts about the disease. There were too many questions that she had wanted to ask. It wasn’t only for her pregnancy preparation but also for the several elderlies back at her home.
With his business card, she would’ve saved time from getting a consultation at the hospital. The People’s Police didn’t have much time to spare in their day off. This way, it was much more convenient.
Yao put the business card into her pocket. “Ms. Lan, please follow me.”
“No, they all can leave. Why can’t I?”
Gee…
“Ms. Lan, you’re the defendant here!”
Ms. Lan had finally started to panic. “I want to make a call!”
Yao’s expression was solemn. Just as she was about to speak, the male police officer who had just left returned. “Ms. Lan, once we’d gone through the necessary procedures, we’ll let you make your call. But right now, please cooperate with us.”
What would happen if she hadn’t cooperated with the police investigation? Perhaps even a three-year-old child would know.
Ms. Lan finally got up to her feet and snorted. “Okay, I’ll cooperate. Tell me what your badge number is.”
The male police officer didn’t even blink as he blurted out a strand of numbers. “013874.”
“Alright, I’ll remember it. 013874.”
Was it a warning? Or a threat?
Apparently, the male police officer didn’t care at all. “Yao, bring her over.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Ms. Lan reluctantly followed Yao and left the room. Then, the male police officer looked at the three of them and spoke. “I’ll get someone to give the three of you a ride back.”
“There’s no—”
Jiang Tingxu’s last word was stuck in her throat.
At the door stood a man who had arrived at some point in time. He was followed by a group of people. They looked very familiar—ahem, weren’t they the legal team from Mo Group that had just been here a few days ago? No wonder.
“I’m here to pick up my wife. There’s no need to take up our nation’s resources.”
When everyone had seen the man’s face, they were all stunned. This must be Movie King Mo Boyuan, right? It must be—who would dare to impersonate Mo Boyuan?
But his wife? Wh-who?
Everyone had followed Movie King Mo’s line of sight, and the very next moment, everyone’s gaze was focused on Jiang Tingxu.
Liao Jiayu and Deng Peng were so shocked that their eyes had popped out of their sockets, their jaws dropped open.
Jiang Tingxu’s face twitched involuntarily. Twice.
Mo Boyuan had already walked over and stood in front of Jiang Tingxu. He teased her, “How long are you planning to stay here?”
“Why are you here?” she had finally regained her senses and asked.
Mo Boyuan didn’t answer her question. Instead, he asked, “My dear wife, what do you think?”
Shoot, he had almost forgotten about Leng Zheng. Knowing that it was impossible to hear her saying it, Mo Boyuan sighed gently. “Alright, let’s go home.”
